Property in accordance with the Development Agreement attached hereto as Schedule A and

Minor League Baseball for Class A Stadiums (“Minimum Standards”). The Stadium shall be
reasonably energy efficient, based upon construction standards and practices at the time of its
construction and the Stadium Owner will consider “green” solutions when economically and
commercially viable. In order to ensure that the Stadium meets the foregoing requirements, the
Stadium Owner agrees to consult on an ongoing basis with Lessee on the Development
Agreement, the Property location and acquisition, design of the Stadium, the Project Budget (as
defined below) and during the Stadium construction. Lessee shall be invited to participate in all
meetings related to Property location, acquisition, design, planning and construction, and
Available Parking Areas, and shall be a party to the Development Agreement.
(i) The Stadium Owner shall finance, pay and, in accordance with the Development
Agreement, contract for the development of the Stadium, and be responsible for all work,
construction and installation of all systems related to operation of the Stadium, including the
build-out of the Lessee Exclusive Areas, all in accordance with the project budget attached
hereto as Schedule B (the “Project Budget”) and incorporated herein by this reference. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Stadium will include those items set forth on Schedule C (“Stadium

($33,000,000.00) Dollars excluding the cost of Property acquisition, and the Project Budget shall
reference that amount (“Project Budget Amount”), and the amount of Eight Million
($8,000,000.00) Dollars which Lessee shall contribute to the Project Budget Amount (“Lessee’s
Construction Contribution”). The parties agree the Stadium Owner shall expend and apply the
Lessee’s Construction Contribution solely to the costs of construction of the Stadium including
On-Property Parking at the Stadium) in accordance with the Project Budget. Commencing within
thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, so long as the Lessee is satisfied that Stadium
Owner is not in breach of this Agreement and the Stadium Owner’s payments of the Project
Budget Amount for Stadium construction are to Lessee’s satisfaction, the Lessee shall pay the
Lessee’s Construction Contribution to the Stadium Owner, in equal monthly installments
amortized (without interest or any additional fees or charges) over the total Stadium construction
time period as referenced in the Development Agreement (Schedule A). The Parties agree that
any excess of funds or uncommitted or unspent amounts, arising from or resulting from the
actual project costs being, as of the Beneficial Occupancy Date, less than or under the Project
Budget Amount, shall be applied, at Lessee’s option either to purchase or fund additional or
upgraded Stadium or related amenities or to reduce and to pre-pay in advance all or part of the
Lessee’s required contribution(s) to the Stadium Capital Improvements for the Initial Term of
this Agreement Fund, as defined and described in Section 10(l), and which shall be credited
against and reduce Lessee’s subsequent required contribution(s) thereto.
9
The Stadium Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, install and maintain
(within the Project Budget), or to work with the Virginia Department of Transportation to obtain,
install and maintain, directional signage (including the Stadium name and logo) to the Stadium

for providing proper ingress and egress to the Stadium.
(ii) The Stadium Owner represents warrants and covenants that the design, development and
construction of the Stadium shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws,
ordinances, codes and regulations, and the Stadium will be designed to comply with the
Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, and all other applicable local, state and
federal laws, ordinances, codes and regulations.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and
notwithstanding any review by Lessee of the design development and construction documents
relating to the Stadium, Stadium Owner shall be solely responsible for the design and
construction of the Stadium, and the compliance of all plans and specifications with all
applicable laws and regulations, and Lessee shall have no responsibility or liability with regard
to the safety, sufficiency, adequacy or legality thereof.
(iv) At no cost to Lessee or the Project Budget, the Stadium Owner shall obtain and/or make
all reasonable efforts to ensure as appropriate and commercially reasonable, that all permits,
approvals and clearances (including all utilities and connections therefor) are promptly obtained
to assist in the timely completion of each phase of Stadium construction. The Stadium Owner, its
employees or agents will obtain such building permits, signage, noise and light ordinance
permits and/or clearances as necessary to alter street and traffic flow as per the Stadium plan and
such other permits and clearances as may be required in order to complete the Stadium as
contemplated hereunder.
(c) Stadium Signage. The Stadium Owner shall be responsible to ensure that the Project Budget
in Schedule B includes the purchase and installation of a quality double sided video board, two
(2) outfield wall Ribbon Boards for sponsorship sign displays, two (2) marquee video entrance
boards, eight (8) color remote controlled sign boards through key locations in City and in and at
the Stadium (the “Video Displays”), an amount necessary to provide Video Displays equal to or
greater than the quality of those currently in existence at other similar stadiums. The Video
Displays shall include software and hardware necessary for operation and three remote control
cameras to broadcast games on video boards and through cable TV.
(d) Equipment & Furnishings. The Stadium Owner shall be responsible for all amounts set
forth in Schedule B attached hereto (Project Budget) for the costs necessary to equip and install
equipment and furnishings at the Stadium.
10
(e) Commencement Date & Beneficial Occupancy. The Stadium Owner shall break-ground at
the Property and commence construction of the Stadium thereon not later than July 1, 2015
(“Commencement Date”).
(i) The Stadium Owner shall have the Stadium available for Beneficial Occupancy on October
1, 2016 (“Beneficial Occupancy Date”). It is understood that if certain parts of the Stadium are
ready and meet Beneficial Occupancy prior to others, Lessee may (but is not required to) take
early occupancy of such areas if acceptable to the Stadium Owner, and possession of such areas
by Lessee shall constitute Beneficial Occupancy of the Stadium. The parties acknowledge that in
order for Lessee to effectuate a smooth transition of Games to the Stadium, it is important for
Lessee to have access to and use of the Stadium team offices as early as possible. Accordingly,
the Stadium Owner shall make all commercially reasonable efforts to ready the Stadium team
offices for occupancy by Lessee on or before the Beneficial Occupancy Date.
(ii) Absent a willful default by Stadium Owner of its obligations under this Section 3, or as
otherwise provided for in this Agreement, Lessee shall take possession of the Stadium at the time
of Beneficial Occupancy under the terms of this Agreement.
(f) Moving Expenses. Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for all costs and
expenses arising in conjunction with the relocation of Lessee’s equipment from its current
location to the Stadium.
(g) Deficiencies. The parties acknowledge and agree that additional improvements and
modifications to the Stadium may be necessary following the date of Beneficial Occupancy to
correct incomplete or inadequate work or other shortfalls in Stadium construction (each, a
“Deficiency”). Lessee and the Stadium Owner agree to work together to identify the
Deficiencies and to correct the Deficiencies in a prompt and efficient manner provided such
Deficiency is related to the original Project Budget and design scope of the Stadium.
In this regard, upon notification by Lessee of a Deficiency, the Stadium Owner agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to correct such Deficiency within fifteen (15) days of such
notification. The Stadium Owner further agrees that work to correct such deficiencies shall not
materially interfere with the staging of Baseball Games or Other Events at the Stadium. If the
Stadium Owner does not correct a Deficiency within fifteen (15) days of such notification (a
“Delayed Deficiency”), or if Lessee determines in good faith that the Deficiency is of such an
urgent nature that it must be repaired in less than fifteen (15) days, then Lessee shall be entitled
to correct such Deficiency upon prior notice to the Stadium Owner, provided that in the case of a
Delayed Deficiency, the cost to correct such Delayed Deficiency is less than Fifty Thousand
($50,000.00) Dollars.
If necessary in order to preserve product or service warranties, Lessee shall use reasonable
efforts to engage contractors from a pre-approved list of contractors provided by the Stadium
Owner. Lessee shall invoice the Stadium Owner for the costs incurred in correcting such
Delayed Deficiency, and the Stadium Owner shall reimburse Lessee from the Stadium Capital
Improvement Fund for such costs within forty-five (45) days of receipt of such invoice, or shall
reimburse the Lessee from such reserves available in the Project Budget. If the Stadium Owner
11
fails to reimburse Lessee within such forty-five (45) day period and the Stadium Owner is not
then contesting the invoice or the amount thereof, then Lessee shall be entitled to offset such
costs from subsequent Stadium Rent payments or other payments required under this Agreement.
(h) Lessee Remedies. The Stadium Owner acknowledges that its covenant to have the Stadium
available for Beneficial Occupancy no later than the Beneficial Occupancy Date is of great
importance to Lessee and that in the event the Stadium is not available for Beneficial Occupancy
by the Beneficial Occupancy Date, Lessee will suffer damages, the actual amount of which
would be impractical or extremely difficult to determine, that the liquidated damages amount set
forth below is a reasonable pre-estimate of what Lessee’s monetary damages would be in the
event the Stadium is not available for Beneficial Occupancy by the Beneficial Occupancy Date
and the Parties mutually intend that the Lessee receive liquidated damages rather than penalties
to compensate Lessee if the Stadium is not available for Beneficial Occupancy by the Beneficial
Occupancy Date. Therefore, in the event the Stadium is not available for Beneficial Occupancy
by the Beneficial Occupancy Date, then Lessee will have the following available remedies: The
Stadium Owner shall ensure that any general contractor of the Stadium contractually agrees to
pay to Lessee liquidated damages for each day after the Beneficial Occupancy Date on which the
Stadium is not available for Beneficial Occupancy the amount of Two Thousand ($2,000.00)
Dollars per calendar day or to provide, at other than Lessee’s expense, an alternative and
temporary location suitable and acceptable to Lessee until Beneficial Occupancy is obtained. The
parties hereby acknowledge and agree that failure of Stadium Owner to meet its obligations
under Section 3(e) of this Agreement would result in significant financial and other harm to the
Lessee and that such harm would be difficult to calculate with precision. The parties thus
acknowledge and agree that the amounts provided for in this Section 3(h) as remedies in the case
of a violation of Section 3(e) of this Agreement amount to liquidated damages, and not a penalty,
and such amounts are a reasonable estimate of damages that would occur in the event of such
breach.
It is specifically understood by and between the parties that notwithstanding any liquidated
damages contained herein, if the Stadium is not available for Beneficial Occupancy on or before
the Beneficial Occupancy Date, or some later date as the Lessee may subsequently determine
without any prejudice, Lessee shall have the right to schedule its activities or events at another
stadium and Lessee’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement shall be abated and suspended. If
the Stadium is available for Beneficial Occupancy, Lessee shall make commercially reasonable
efforts to move into the Stadium as soon as possible following the Beneficial Occupancy Date,
subject, however to any arrangements Lessee makes or has made to secure use of another
stadium during the period in which the Stadium is not available for Beneficial Occupancy,
including if the arrangement for use of such other stadium extends beyond the Beneficial
Occupancy Date.
SECTION 4 – STADIUM USE
(a) Management of the Stadium. Lessee shall have the exclusive rights to manage, occupy, use
and operate the Stadium throughout the Term as set forth in this Agreement. In order to facilitate
the satisfaction of its obligations undertaken pursuant to this Agreement and to perform its
business as anticipated under the Agreement, Lessee shall at all times during the Term of this
12
Agreement have the right of access to and exclusive use of the Stadium. Subject to Lessee’s
rights hereunder during the Term of this Agreement, the Stadium Owner does not relinquish and
does retain full ownership of the Stadium. Therefore, all duly authorized representatives of the
Stadium Owner shall have reasonable access to all areas of the Stadium, except the Lessee or
team offices, with advance notice to Lessee and Lessee’s pre-approval. In addition, the Stadium
Owner retains all of its governmental and regulatory power and authority, and except as provided
in this Agreement, does not by this Agreement waive or limit any of its governmental or
regulatory power and authority.
(b) Events. Lessee shall have the exclusive right to schedule and use the Stadium to play, stage
or hold, any activities or Events as contemplated by this Agreement, including all activities
incidental to such activities or Events, all without prior consent of, or interference by, Stadium
Owner.
(i) The Stadium Owner reserves the right to use the Stadium for not more than six (6)
events each year of the Term, which are of a community, charitable and/or civic nature that is
non-profit and where admission is free of charge (“Community Activity”). Lessee and Stadium
Owner agree to cooperate in the scheduling of any Community Activity which (i) shall be on
mutually agreeable dates, (ii) shall be consistent with the sound operation and maintenance of
comparable Single-A facilities, (iii) shall not conflict with any Home Game or Event scheduled
for the Stadium, or prevent the next scheduled Home Game or Event scheduled for the Stadium,
and (iv) shall not disrupt or damage the Stadium beyond routine wear and tear or maintenance
requirements. Lessee shall operate the Stadium for each Community Activity and shall be
reimbursed by Stadium Owner for all extraordinary expenses related thereto as shall be needed
for each such Community Activity.
(ii) The Stadium Owner may give advance reasonable notice to the Lessee to request a
specific event which is not a Community Activity to be held at the Stadium, which notice shall
be in writing and include to the Lessee’s satisfaction details about the specific event. The Lessee
may in its absolute and sole discretion reject any event requested by the Stadium Owner. If the
Lessee notifies the Stadium Owner it accepts the event so requested (“Accepted Event”), then
Lessee may schedule and hold the Accepted Event as an Other Event at the Stadium, subject to
the admissions-only revenue sharing for Accepted Events as set forth in Section 6(a) of this
Agreement.
(c) Ticketing. Lessee shall be responsible for the printing, sale and collection of all tickets for
admission to all such activities or Events. Lessee shall have the exclusive right to set ticket prices
for all such admissions.
(d) Lessee Exclusive Areas. Lessee shall have the exclusive right to occupy and use the Lessee
Exclusive Areas on a year-round basis as outlined in this Agreement. During the Term of this
Agreement and any early occupancy of the Stadium as such occupancy is permitted in this
Agreement, Lessee shall have the exclusive right to occupy and operate the Team Stores and Box
Offices.
SECTION 5 – LEASE PAYMENT
13
(a) Annual Rent. Lessee shall pay annually to the Stadium Owner the sum of One Hundred
Fifty Thousand ($150,000.00) Dollars for each calendar year during the Term (“Annual Rent”),
except the first year’s rent shall be prorated based upon the number of days of Beneficial
Occupancy in the first year as described in subsection (c) of this Section (“First Year Rent”).
The Lessee shall have no obligation to pay any amount of rent until it takes Beneficial
Occupancy.
(b) Payment of Rent. The Annual Rent is based on each calendar year period and Annual Rent
payments required to be paid by Lessee hereunder shall be payable annually on April 1st of each
calendar year, except the First Year Rent is to be prorated.
(c) Pro-rated First Year Rent. For the first calendar year in which the Lessee takes Beneficial
Occupancy of the Stadium, the First Year Rent shall be the Annual Rent ($150,000.00)
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days remaining when the
Lessee takes Beneficial Occupancy of the Stadium in that first calendar year and the denominator
of which shall be three hundred sixty-five (365). The Lessee shall pay the First Year Rent in a
single payment to the Stadium Owner on or before December 31st of that first calendar year in
which the Lessee takes Beneficial Occupancy of the Stadium.
SECTION 6 – STADIUM REVENUES
(a) Events. For any and all Events at Stadium, Lessee exclusively shall receive and retain all
Gross Revenues, except that only for Accepted Events (as in Section 4(b) of this Agreement), the
Lessee shall add to its next subsequent Annual Rent payment to the Stadium Owner the amount
of Five (5%) Percent of the Net Revenue collected from the Accepted Events in that calendar
year. For purposes hereof, the Lessee shall calculate the Net Revenue for Accepted Events by
taking into account only the admissions ticket revenue actually collected for that calendar year’s
Accepted Events and by deducting therefrom the all taxes, fees, commissions and other revenue
sharing obligations related to or arising from the Accepted Events (“Accepted Event Expenses”).
Lessee alone shall determine the Net Revenue from any Accepted Event, including the
determination of whether any amount constitutes Accepted Event Expenses. Payment by Lessee
to Stadium Owner as contemplated in this subsection shall discharge fully all Lessee’s
obligations to Stadium Owner with respect thereto.
(i) For every Home Game scheduled at the Stadium, Lessee shall provide without cost to
Stadium Owner two hundred (200) general admission tickets (“Home Game Tickets”). All
Home Game Tickets shall be distributed by the Stadium Owner free of charge to youth groups,
handicapped groups, senior citizen groups, charitable organizations, civic organizations, or other
similar groups or organizations, so as to promote attendance by persons who might otherwise be
unable to attend baseball games at the Stadium. In no event shall Home Game Tickets be sold or

encumber this Agreement or any interest herein as security for a loan or otherwise without the
prior written consent of the Stadium Owner, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
SECTION 18 - TAXES
(a) Taxes. The Stadium Owner is the owner of the Stadium and the Property and shall be solely
responsible for taxes, if any, such as Property Taxes, ad valorem taxes, or taxes which are
assessed or based on the value of the Stadium, the Property or its contents. This Agreement is
being entered into by the Parties in reliance on the Stadium being exempt from ad valorem taxes
on the basis of the following: (a) the Stadium and all FF&E contained therein (other than
personal property of Lessee) is at all times owned by the Stadium Owner; (b) the successful
development and operation of the Stadium will promote economic development, tourism and, as
a result thereof enhance the economic viability of the Stadium Owner through the development
of nearby properties, the creation of additional jobs, the infusion of capital investment and
increased commercial activity, thereby resulting in additional ad valorem property taxes,
25
hospitality fees and other taxes and fees; (c) Lessee has agreed to manage and operate the
Stadium in a manner which will benefit the Stadium Owner, the County and its citizens, and the
community. The Stadium Owner represents that, notwithstanding the fact that Lessee will be
primarily responsible for the operation and management of the Stadium under this Agreement,
the Stadium will serve an essential function and will be used for a public purpose. If and to the
extent that, notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Term it is determined that the Stadium is
determined to be subject to real estate or other ad valorem taxes or payments in lieu thereof for
any reason, the Stadium Owner shall be responsible for and pay such taxes, provided that Lessee
shall cooperate so as to eliminate or mitigate such taxes.
(b) Tax Exempt Purchases. In the event that Lessee purchases goods or services that become
the property of Stadium Owner at the Stadium, Stadium Owner agrees to cooperate with Lessee
in order to take advantage of any tax exempt purchasing that the Stadium Owner is entitled to
obtain.
SECTION 19 - MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Successors/Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and remain fully binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
(b) Quiet Enjoyment. Lessee upon fully complying with all applicable terms and provisions of
this Agreement shall peaceably and quietly enjoy the Stadium subject nevertheless, to the terms
of this Agreement.
(c) Force Majeure. Subject to Sections 10(c) and 11 above remaining in effect, if because of the
occurrence of an event of Force Majeure, either the Stadium Owner or Lessee is unable to carry
out its obligations to the other party under this Agreement, except for the payment of money, and
if such party promptly gives to the other written notice of such Force Majeure within five (5)
business days of such event, then the obligations of both parties under this Agreement shall be
excused to the extent, but only to the extent, made necessary by such Force Majeure and only
during its continuance, provided that the effect of such Force Majeure is eliminated insofar as
possible with all reasonable dispatch. Neither party shall be separately liable to the other for any
loss or damage of any kind caused by such Force Majeure.
(d) Relationship of Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership
or joint venture, nor to authorize either Party hereto to act as agent for or representative of the
other Party hereto. Each Party hereto shall be deemed independent and neither shall act as, or
hold itself out as acting as, agent for the other Party hereto.
(e) No Waiver. No failure of either party to insist upon exact compliance with the terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach
of this Agreement.

mutually dependent on and one cannot exist independent of another, provided that if any one or
more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid,
26
illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, and if such holding does not affect the ability of Lessee
to perform and have access to the Stadium for all of its intended business operations as
contemplated herein, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision was not contained herein, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(g) Governing Law; Jurisdiction Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be
subject to and interpreted by and in accordance with, the laws (excluding conflict of law
provisions) of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of

relating to this Agreement, and the parties irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by
