13. CANCELLLATION OR TERMINATION
<br />a. If, because of war, fire, strike, civil strife, government regulation, natural catastrophe,
<br />an act of terrorism or public enemy, an act of God, or any reason beyond the reasonable control
<br />of City, the Event or any part thereof is prevented from being held or is cancelled by City, City,
<br />in its sole discretion, shall determine and refund to the Partner its proportionate share of the
<br />balance of the aggregate partner fees received that remain after deducting actual expenses
<br />incurred by City. In no case shall the amount of the refund to the Partner exceed the amount of
<br />the fee paid. City reserves the right to cancel any portion of the Event as it deems necessary and
<br />appropriate and in such event, shall refund to the Partner the applicable share of Partner fees
<br />applicable to such cancelled portion of the Event.
<br />b. Cancellation by the Partner will be accepted only in writing. In the event of
<br />cancellation by Partner, not due to an event in section 13(a) of this Agreement or City's breach
<br />of this Agreement, Partner will remain obligated for 100% of the partnership fee, and City will
<br />retain the right to seek and retain an alternate partner in City's sole discretion.
<br />14. NONDISCRIMINATION
<br />Partner shall not discriminate because of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status,

<br />employment related activities or any activities in connection with this Agreement. Partner
<br />affirms that it is an equal opportunity employer and shall comply with all applicable federal, state
<br />and local laws and regulations.
<br />15, JURISDICTION — VENUE
