BACKGROUND
On September 10, 2008, the City Commission approved Resolution No. 2008-26888 which
approved an agreement between the City and Global Spectrum, L.P. for the Management of the
Miami Beach Convention Center, Colony Theater, and Byron Carlyle Theater. The Agreement
was for an initial three (3) year term commencing on October 1, 2008, and ending on
September 30, 2011, with two (2) one-year renewal options, exercisable with ninety (90) days
prior written notice, at the sole and absolute discretion of the City. Please note that on April 15,
2011, the City terminated Global Spectrum's rights and responsibilities with respect to the
operation and management of the Byron Carlyle Theater following the City Commission's
approval of a management agreement with Broward Stage Door Theater. On September 14,
2011, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2011-27728 extending the Management
Agreement for an additional two (2) years.
The Base Management Fee in the first year was $275,000 (plus incentive that cannot exceed an
amount equal to 100% of the base fee; capped at greater of CPI or 3%). Global Spectrum also
provided the City with the following contributions:
• Capital contribution (one-time) = $375,000
• Scholarship contribution (annual) = $ 12,500
Net Performance Improvement
Pursuant to the Agreement, Global Spectrum guaranteed a Net Performance Improvement,
which is defined as the "Required Improvement" on the Fiscal Year (FY) 08/09 budgeted net
deficit of $1,492,134 (which includes both the FY08/09 budgeted net operating deficit and
includes Executive Salaries and Benefits). As per the Agreement, the Required Improvement
over the net deficit of$1,492,134 for each Contract Year was as follows:
• FY 08/09 = $ 500,000 (or a resulting net operating loss of$992,134)
• FY 09/10 = $1,000,000 (or a resulting net operating loss of$492,134)
• FY 10/11 = $1,500,000 (or a resulting net profit of$7,866)
On March 1, 2010, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2010-27372, which approved
an amendment to the Agreement adjusting the Net Performance Improvement by $50,301.20 in
each year due to a an interest shortfall credit which resulted from the City's requirement for
Global Spectrum to change banking institutions. The requirement for Global Spectrum to make
a $500,000, $1,000,000 and $1,500,000 improvement over the net deficit did not change. The
adjustment is only to the starting net deficit amount. For example, this Amendment changed the
Required Improvement over the net deficit of$1,542,435 (instead of$1,492,134).
In the first year of the initial Term, to the extent the actual improvement achieved in the Fiscal
Year was less than the Required Improvement, as set forth above, the City could draw against a
required $500,000 Letter of Credit (LOC) provided by Global for any difference between the
Required Improvement and the actual improvement. The contract also allows Global to bank or
apply any excess improvement from year one to any shortfall of their required improvement in
year two (up to the value of their Incentive Pay). The Line of Credit provides a venue for the
City to collect if there are subsequent shortfalls on their Required Improvements.

Following the end of FY 2009, Global Spectrum paid the City $76,897, which represents the
shortfall from the "Required Improvement." This also included uncollected bad debt. In FY
2010 Global Spectrum surpassed the "Required Improvement" by $214,445. Over the first two
years of the Agreement, Global Spectrum reduced the operating loss of the MBCC by
$1,214,445. In FY 2012 the Convention Center generated an operating profit of$21,821, which
is only the second time in the history of the facility that an operating profit was produced. The
Operating Loss for the current Fiscal Year is projected to be $872,955 as of second quarter
projections.
FY 2010/11 Global Spectrum was not able to meet the net performance guarantee and was
required to pay the City $500,000, plus the earned annual incentive fee. As previously stated,
Global was required to achieve an annual Net Performance Improvement as specified in the
Agreement. As a penalty for not achieving the annual improvement, the City could draw against
the $500,000 Letter of Credit (LOC) provided by Global for any difference between the Required
Improvement and the actual improvement. In the final year of the Agreement, if the LOC does
not cover the shortfall, the City can draw against the earned Incentive Fee from that Fiscal Year.
Global is not responsible for any additional shortfall beyond the LOC and Incentive Fee. The
net performance guarantee was removed from the agreement at the time the renewal was
negotiated and is not longer a provision of the agreement.
The Management Agreement also has a requirement for Messe Schweiz (M.S.), in partnership
with Global Spectrum, within the initial term and subject to the existing booking policies and
commercial viability to use best efforts to book and actualize, one (1) M.S. owned show or event
during the initial term and one (1) (non-M.S. owned) international show or event.
Global Spectrum provided a Corporate Guarantee, on behalf of M.S., for $275,000 for the City
to draw upon if, notwithstanding M.S. "best efforts," as provided for in the Management
Agreement, M.S. failed to book and actualize shows or events as required. The March 2010
Amendment gave Global Spectrum until the end of the third contract year (September, 30,
2011) to book and actualize one M.S. produced/owned show or event before the $250,000
Guarantee is due to the City.
Global and M.S. were to also book, during the initial Term, one non-M.S. produced/owned
international show or event, or an additional $25,000 is due to the City. This show or event may
be actualized at any time up to 24 months following the end of the Term if, during such period,
the Corporate Guarantee provided by Global to secure this obligation remains in effect,
unaffected by the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
As required, in 2011 Global Spectrum booked and actualized a Messe Schweiz owned show
(Animalia) during the initial term of the Agreement. Animalia successfully attracted attendees to
the show, but was not able to generate a profit. M.S. and Global decided not to continue
producing the show. Global also booked a non-M.S. international show for 2012, which was
Kanas International who has now produced four (4) shows at the Convention Center.
Additionally, Global Spectrum, in partnership with Messe Schweiz (MCH), developed new
collateral material, which outlines the business industry and related selling points strictly
devoted to the European market. MCH also launched additional web pages within their website
that includes sales brochures and additional information regarding the MBCC and the
destination.

Other Operational 1-liphli_ghts
Global Spectrum officially assumed management responsibility for the Miami Beach Convention
Center (MBCC), Colony Theatre and Byron Carlyle Theater on October 1, 2008. Global
originally successfully transitioned 63 of the 77 full-time employees (81%). The transition of
management was seamless and without any interruption to services.
The following is a summary of events and attendance during Global Spectrum's management
as compared to prior years, which was during a period of economic downturn nationally and
internationally:
Events Attendance
FY 08/09: 108 FY 08/09: 632,700
FY 09/10: 103 FY 09/10: 708,750
FY 10/11: 119 FY 10/11: 661,625
FY 11/12: 128 FY 11/12: 661,327
The "Green" Initiatives implemented by Global Spectrum included the "Step Up" program (logos
placed on light switches and computers reminding employees to reduce energy when not in
use); programming of major mechanical control functions for energy reduction; single stream
recycling program; and the purchasing of green janitorial cleaning supplies, toilet tissue, paper
towels and hand soap. They worked closely with Centerplate to ensure that they are utilizing
recyclable products in regards to utensils, disposable plates and paper products. This effort has
already yielded significant results.
Extension of Management Agreement
As previously state, on September 14, 2011, the City Commission adopted Resolution No.
2011-27728 extending the Management Agreement for an additional two (2) years. The
following is a summary of the contract amendment included in the renewal:
1. Eliminate the Net Performance Improvement and guarantee. The requirement for Global
Spectrum to make a $500,000 (year 1), $1,000,000 (year 2) and $1,500,000 (year 3)
improvement over the net deficit was based on the 2008-09 SMG Budget as the
measure of Global Spectrum's performance. SMG was the managing agent for the City
prior to Global. When Global assumed management responsibility it was partially based
on the fact the Global would improve the operating deficit at the facility, which is why the
Net Performance Improvement was negotiated into the original agreement. After
operating the facility for three (3) years, both parties agreed that Global should only
guarantee its own annually City-approved budget. Although various factors impact
annual budget fluctuations, Global has successfully continued to improve the operating
budget annually and even generated a small operating profit in FY 2011/12. To that
end, however:
a. If Global misses the City-approved budget Net Operating Profit/Loss by 5%,
Global will rebate to the City $.50 of each $1.00 in Incentive Fee they earned,
capped at an amount not to exceed 50% of the Incentive Fee earned in any
given fiscal year; and
b. Global Spectrum will be required to rebate Incentive Fee only in the case where
failure to achieve the City-approved budget Net Operating Profit/Loss by 5%, is
due to reasons that are under Global Spectrum's control. Such as: bookings for
conventions, tradeshows and corporate events within 24 months and day-to-day
maintenance of the facility and its infrastructure. Items beyond Global

Page 5 of 6
Spectrum's control include capital improvements due to storms or various acts of
God and new operating or maintenance requirements imposed by the City after
the current year's budget is approved.
2. Global Spectrum has met their obligation to book and actualize a Messe Schweiz owned
show (Animalia) during the initial term of the Agreement. The partnership between
Global and Messe Schweiz will continue for international sales efforts, as well on-going
participation on the Executive Management Committee. The $25,000 Guarantee for the
non-M.S. owned show remained in effect.
3. The Incentive Fee allows Global to earn up to 100% of the base Management Fee if
certain criteria are achieved. Both parties agreed the Incentive Fee is complicated and
should be simplified. Negotiated changes to the Incentive Fee included customer.
satisfaction (30 points), financial performance (50 points), maintenance and capital
improvements (15 points) and discretionary (5 points).
Global Spectrum was awarded the contract in 2008 following a competitive bid process and has
managed the convention center since October 2008. The current agreement between the City
and Global Spectrum does not have any additional renewal provisions. On December 12, 2012,
the City Commission passed a motion made by Commissioner Weithorn authorizing the City
Administration to negotiate with Global Spectrum for a new Management Agreement instead of
proceeding with a Request for Proposals.
