General Delay/Force Majeure: Force Majeure. A. A "Force Majeure" event is an event that (i) in fact causes a delay in the performance of the Grantee or the City's obligations under the Agreement, and (ii) is beyond the reasonable control of such party unable to perform the obligation, and (iii) is not due to an intentional act, error, omission, or negligence of such party, and (iv) could not have reasonably been foreseen and prepared for by such party at any time prior to the occurrence of the event. Subject to the foregoing criteria, Force Majeure may include events such as war, civil insurrection, riot, fires, epidemics, pandemics, terrorism, sabotage, explosions, embargo restrictions, quarantine restrictions, transportation accidents, strikes, hurricanes, tropical storms or tornadoes, earthquakes, other elements of nature or other acts of God which prevent performance. Force Majeure shall not include technological impossibility, or failure to secure any of the required permits pursuant to the Agreement. B. If the City or Grantee's performance of its contractual obligations is prevented or delayed by an event believed by to be Force Majeure, such party shall immediately, upon learning of the occurrence of the event or of the commencement of any such delay, but in no case within fifteen (15) business days thereof, provide notice of(i)of the occurrence of event of Force Majeure, (ii) of the nature of the event and the cause thereof, (iii)of the anticipated impact on the Agreement, (iv) of the anticipated period of the delay, and (v) of what course of action such party plans to take in order to mitigate the detrimental effects of the event. The timely delivery of the notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event is a condition precedent to allowance of any relief pursuant to this section; however, receipt of such notice shall not constitute acceptance that the Page 15 DocuSign Envelope ID:OAD5B10E-F957-4886-A080-B57F9197476F event claimed to be a Force Majeure event is in fact Force Majeure, and the burden of proof of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event shall be on the requesting party. C. No party hereto shall be liable for its failure to carry out its obligations under the Agreement during a period when such party is rendered unable, in whole or in part, by Force Majeure to carry out such obligations. The suspension of any of the obligations under this Agreement due to a Force Majeure event shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is required. The party shall use its reasonable best efforts to continue to perform its obligations hereunder to the extent such obligations are not affected or are only partially affected by the Force Majeure event, and to correct or cure the event or condition excusing performance and otherwise to remedy its inability to perform, to the extent its inability to perform is the direct result of the Force Majeure event, with all reasonable dispatch. D. Obligations pursuant to the Agreement that arose before the occurrence of a Force Majeure event causing the suspension of performance shall not be excused as a result of such occurrence unless such occurrence makes such performance not reasonably possible. The obligation to pay money in a timely manner for obligations and liabilities which matured prior to the occurrence of a Force Majeure event shall not be subject to the Force Majeure provisions. E. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, in the event of a Force Majeure occurrence, the City may, at the sole discretion of the City Manager, suspend the City's payment obligations under the Agreement, and may take such action without regard to the notice requirements herein. For the avoidance of doubt, if the City suspends its payment obligations under this section, Grantee shall not be held in default for its nonperformance or failure to carry out its obligations under the Agreement during such period of time as payment is suspended.

The Principal Investigator is the person who will manage the Grant on behalf of the Grantee and his location will be: University of Miami The Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science 4600 Rickenbacker Causeway Miami, Florida 33149-1098 PHONE, FAX, E-MAIL: (305) 421-4035, Fax: (305) 421-4131, Email: bhausarsmas.miami.edu Email: fbaquerorsmas.miami.edu Project Description: BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION OF NEED The South Florida coastline, and Miami Beach in particular, is one of the most susceptible in the US to the impacts of climatic hazards. Consequently, protecting the population and local economy has become a social, cultural. and political focus. As part of its climate adaptation strategy, the Grantor has been actively investing in grey infrastructure by building sea walls, raising streets, and deploying pumps to mitigate the impacts of waves, storm surge, and flooding. However, there is an increasing recognition that green, nature-based infrastructure provided by coastal ecosystems can mitigate the impacts of climatic hazards in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. To date, the lack of investment in green infrastructure is often linked to the absence of universally accepted design guidelines and the limited buy-in from stakeholders unaware of their benefits. Therefore, there is a pressing need to: (1) Develop and test hybrid grey/green approaches to build nature-based defenses such as artificial coral reefs to foster coastal resilience; and (2) Better communicate their effectiveness to local stakeholders. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The goal of this Project is to create a science-based design framework founded on the information collected and the partnerships formed as part of the University of Miami's University Laboratory for Integrative Knowledge (ULINK). This Project, led by a multidisciplinary team of professors at the University of Miami, seeks to develop and test coastal resilience strategies that combine grey (cement-based) and green (nature-based) defense strategies. The Grantee has been working with the staff of the City's Environment& Sustainability Department to reduce the vulnerability of the Grantor, which is faced with the threat of impacts of ocean waves, flooding, and storm surge. The Grantee will achieve this by combining the expertise of our Page 17 DocuSign Envelope ID:OAD5B1 OE-F957-4886-A080-B57F9197476F ULINK team on the ecology and restoration of coastal habitats and in modeling and analyzing the impacts of waves and winds on the Miami Beach coastline. The activities proposed here will set the stage for the creation of a science-based action strategy to address Coastal Resilience and Risk Mitigation in South Florida and beyond, merging engineering and ecological knowledge at relevant scales and including human dimensions into the planning process. The Grantee expects to use this Project to develop a research-based framework that can be used effectively by jurisdictions such as the Grantor (which recently approved a referendum on a >$400M GO bond that includes investments in green infrastructure and shoreline protection). This final component of the ULINK research Project will feature a small-scale implementation ("test bed") of three types of hybrid grey-green infrastructure solutions at one site off Miami Beach (the "Project Site") to test their performance across multiple engineering and ecological criteria. This combined approach will provide data-based guidelines for the future design and deployment of large-scale hybrid artificial reefs off the coastline of Miami Beach. This Project's overall layout is represented conceptually (the "Concept") as follows: Field Deployment of Coral-Breakwater Hybrid Reef We have made excellent progress in all areas of our project,with the ultimate goal of deploying real-world experimental structures offshore of Miami Beach.By deploying these structures,we will be able to collect critical data that will inform not only our own design framework,but coastal science on a larger scale.Recently,our team has worked to understand permitting requirements and to develop designs for such a structure.The figure below illustrates our field deployment plan: Sandy bottom Our design combines three types of Si dp,efnl Thr aft concrete sub-structures: Depth-IC it MfiWL 1.

These structures will be: 18 ft left aiiiiiii. le ft 1. Populated with restoration corals 120 ft 2. Parallel to shore 3. Approx.18 ft in length 4. Modular units of 500 lbs min S. 4 feet high from substrate — — 6. In 10 feet of depth(MHWL), minimum 6 ft clearance 7. Deployed in sandy-bottom, 8. Deployed away from critical wildlife habitat,hardbottom, and swim zones • 9. Perforated to create shelter for marine life 10.Parallel to shore 11.Spaced at least 30 feet The Concept will consist of three prototype artificial reef structures (collectively, the "Hybrid Reefs") including: • A trapezoidal structure based on standard cement artificial reef designs • Modular concrete hexagonal elements (SeaHiveTM) Page 18 DocuSign Envelope ID OAD5B10E-F957-4886-A080-B57F9197476F • An arrangement of limestone boulders commonly used as artificial reef structures in South Florida Each structure will be populated with nursery-grown corals that will be monitored to determine survivorship and growth. In order to ensure that our out-planted corals are resilient to anticipated future disturbances, the Grantee will source corals from local sites in Biscayne Bay where the Grantee has identified populations of more thermally tolerant corals. LOCATIONS An initial list of 3-5 candidate sites was determined based on output from our collaborators from The Nature Conservancy(TNC)and discussions with the City's Environment and Sustainability Department about beach locations that would be preferred by the Grantor. TNC provided us with the sections of the City of Miami Beach shoreline that, based on bottom topography, beach elevation, hydrodynamics, wave regimes, and distance to the reefs, are more susceptible to reef degradation and would benefit the most from reef restoration. The initial list of shoreline segments was also evaluated by the ULINK team to quantify the social and economic vulnerability (and value) of the urban sector delimited by these shoreline segments. As a result of this process it was determined that the area immediately offshore of North Shore Open Space Park between 79th and 83rd streets would be the optimal location for the Project Site. Based on the Grantee's laboratory studies and preliminary permitting discussions with the Grantor and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), it was determined that the optimal location for the test bed would be just offshore of the swim area in water depth of 10- 12 feet. Given the USACE requirement for 6 feet of clearance above any bottom obstruction, the structures would be limited to a vertical height off the seafloor of no more than 4-6 feet. GRANT ACTIVITIES Grantee shall design, fabricate, construct, install and monitor the Hybrid Reefs during the Term of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, upon completion of installation, the Hybrid Reefs shall become property of the Grantor. To accomplish this test-bed deployment of the Hybrid Reefs, the Grantee will need to receive necessary permits from the relevant federal, state and local agencies (collectively, the "Permits") before the Grantee can proceed beyond the design stage. The Grantor, in its proprietary capacity, agrees to cooperate with Grantee in connection with securing the Permits be applying, or being a co-applicant, for the Permits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantee shall be responsible for all costs associated with the Project outside of the funds provided under this Agreement by the Grantor. As such, all activity dates are dependent upon timely receipt of these Permits.
