KNOW ALL BY THESE PRESENTS:
This contract made and entered into effect on this
by and between the City of Corpus Christi, a municipal
corporation, (hereinafter called `City"), and Noble Food Service, Inc. (hereinafter called
"Concessionaire").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the City desires to have a concessionaire to serve the public at the
Bayfront Plaza Convention Center and Memorial Coliseum, and
WHEREAS, Concessionaire presented the best proposal in competition with others for
the operation of concessions in the Bayfront Plaza Convention Center and Memorial
Coliseum,
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, and of the mutual
covenants and agreements herein contained, and other valuable considerations, the City and
Concessionaire agree as follows:
CONCESSION PREMISES AND RIGHTS
SECTION 101. CONCESSION PREMISES: The City will provide and make available to
the Concessionaire the following:
A. Bayfront Plaza Convention Center:
1. AUDITORIUM BAR - The Auditorium Bar is a permanent circular
bar located in the Lounge of the Auditorium. Beverage lines from this bar may
be run to the adjacent storage room; however, building staff members must have
access to the circuit breaker panels. In addition, caterers will, on occasion, need
to get ice and use the circular bar for serving food and washing dishes. The
Concessionaire will allow this at no charge. The bar and storage room will be
cleaned by the caterer and returned to the Concessionaire at the conclusion of
the event.
2. CENTRAL CONCESSION AREA - The Central Concession Area
includes two offices, a concession stand, commissary, and storage area. This unit
is located at the South end of the facility, and is accessible to both the Exhibit
Hall and the dock area.
3. KITCHEN - The Kitchen is located adjacent to the Banquet Hall on the
second level of the Convention Center. It is serviced by a freight elevator to the
Exhibit Hall on the first level and three loading docks on the parking level.
Although the City desires that the Concessionaire make use of this area, the
Kitchen will also be used by other caterers. Whenever the Concessionaire uses
the Kitchen, the City will require that it be cleaned at the termination of the
event. A catered function in the Banquet Hall will usually have top priority for
the use of the Kitchen, unless other arrangements have been made in advance
with the Convention Center Manager or the Convention Center Scheduling
Supervisor.
4. PORTABLE LOCATIONS - Much of the concession activity will take
place from portable locations. The number and location of these portable stands
or bars will be agreed upon by the Lessee, the Concessionaire and the
Convention Center Manager.
5. EQUIPMENT - City -owned concession equipment at the Bayfront
Plaza Convention Center is shown in Attachment "A".
B. Memorial Coliseum:
1. PERMANENT STANDS - Two (2) 62' X 5' stands with sinks, work
areas and approximately three hundred (300) square feet of enclosed space for
inventory storage and office.
2. PORTABLE LOCATIONS - From time to time, the City will permit
portable concession stands to be located throughout the building. The number
and locations of these temporary areas will be agreed upon by the Coliseum
Manager and the Concessionaire for each event.
3. EQUIPMENT - City -owned concession equipment at Memorial
Coliseum is shown in Attachment "B".
SECTION 102. CONCESSION RIGHTS:
A. Rights Granted: The City hereby grants to the Concessionaire, subject to the
terms and conditions of this agreement, the exclusive concession rights to the following:
1. ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES - The concession (cash) sale of alcoholic
beverages in the Bayfront Plaza Convention Center and Memorial Coliseum.
2. FOOD AND NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES - The concession
(cash) sale of food and non-alcoholic beverages intended for consumption at the
Bayfront Plaza Convention Center and Memorial Coliseum, except that fair or
festival -type events may be excluded if, in the opinion of the Facility Manager,
the selling of such items from booths is an important part of the event. In
addition, the Jehovah's Witnesses shall be allowed to sell food to themselves, and
the Concessionaire shall not share in any of these revenues. The exclusive rights
granted herein shall also not be construed so as to prevent or prohibit an
exhibitor from distributing without charge a sample portion of the type of food or
merchandise which is manufactured and distributed in the normal course of the
exhibitor's business or from selling food items for consumption off the premises.
3. NOVELTIES, PROGRAMS & SOUVENIRS - The sale of novelties,
souvenirs, programs, records and tapes at public concerts at the Bayfront Plaza
Convention Center and Memorial Coliseum. Other types of public and private
events are excluded. With the approval of the Facility Manager, the
Concessionaire may sell souvenirs to people attending conventions. The location
of the sales area will be negotiated between the Concessionaire, the Facility
Manager and the Lessee for each event. The Concessionaire will not have
exclusive rights to this activity, as conventions may also wish to sell such items to
their attendees.
4. VENDING MACHINES - The sale of beverages, snacks and tobacco
products from vending machines at the Bayfront Plaza Convention Center and
Memorial Coliseum, with the exception that the City reserves the right to arrange
for its own vending machines in non-public areas. The locations, numbers and
types of vending machines will be decided by the Concessionaire and the Facility
Manager.
B. Subcontracts: Concession items such as programs, novelties, song books,
autographed pictures, records, tapes, T-shirts, etc., usually carried by traveling shows
and not normally stocked by Concessionaire, and additional stands set up on a
temporary basis for this purpose with equipment not owned by City or Concessionaire
are considered as subcontracts. Privilege agreements between Concessionaire and the
-3-
subcontractor for such items must be approved by the Facility Manager and, in case of
a dispute, the decision of the Director of Convention Facilities shall be final.
C. The City reserves the right to:
1. Handle catering separately and independently from the concession
contract. The exclusive rights granted shall not be construed to prevent or
prohibit either the City or any of its lessees from engaging the services of a
caterer of its own choosing to stage banquets or other events involving catered
food or non-alcoholic beverages.
2. Grant permission for merchandise to be given away on the premises and
is in no way obligated to the Concessionaire to force such merchandise to be
purchased through Concessionaire.

Concessionaire shall not engage in this activity at the Bayfront Plaza Convention
Center or Memorial Coliseum.

containers to be suitable for consumption of the products on premises
immediately after the sale. A suitable print pattern shall be used on all
containers, cups, bags, plasticware, etc. used by Concessionaire. Under no
conditions shall there be any reuse of these containers by Concessionaire after
initial sale or use.
5. To superintend sales, to the extent that sales shall be at and for a
reasonable length of time before and after the time of the performance or
function being served, so as to insure that the sales will not interfere with the
conduct of the performance or function being served. Should the
Concessionaire's method of operation, or manner of exercising the exclusive
rights granted herein, interfere with or disrupt any performance or event
scheduled or in progress, Concessionaire will modify its method of operation or
manner of exercising its exclusive rights hereunder to meet with the approval and
satisfaction of the Facility Manager.

unlicensed portion of the Bayfront Plaza Convention Center with the approval of the
Facility Manager. If this occurs, the Concessionaire will utilize his beer license to
provide beer. The Concessionaire will also sell ice and setups. The City may, at its
discretion, discontinue the policy of allowing BYOB events at any time during the term
of this agreement by giving the Concessionaire written notice.
B. Licenses required by Concessionaire:
1. BAYFRONT PLAZA CONVENTION CENTER: The Concessionaire
is required, at Concessionaire's expense, to obtain and maintain a mixed beverage
permit for the Auditorium portion of the Bayfront Plaza Convention Center. In
addition, Concessionaire shall hold a caterer's permit for mixed beverages so that
alcoholic beverages may be served, when appropriate, in the unlicensed portions
of the Bayfront Plaza Convention Center. Upon permission of the Convention
Center Manager or the Director of Convention Facilities, Concessionaire may
also temporarily license an area using the Concessionaire's beer license from the
Coliseum.
2. MEMORIAL COLISEUM: Concessionaire will, at Concessionaire's
expense, hold a beer only (BE) license at Memorial Coliseum. If the City decides
not to allow BYOB events in City facilities, the Concessionaire may be required
to have a mixed beverage permit in order to provide a full range of alcoholic
beverages to the public. If this occurs, the City will give Concessionaire written
notice and (60) days to get a mixed beverage permit for the Coliseum.
C. Interim Arrangements: If the Concessionaire's beverage permits have not been
approved in time to be able to provide individual sales of alcoholic beverages at events
during the early part of the term of this agreement, the City may make a temporary
arrangement with a local holder of a valid caterer's permit to provide this service. The
Concessionaire would not share in the receipts of any such revenues.
D. Serving Policies:
1. AUDITORIUM (INCLUDING LOBBIES, LOUNGE AND
REHEARSAL HALL): Alcoholic beverages may be served only by the
Concessionaire. A lessee may arrange for alcoholic beverages by contracting
with the Concessionaire. No beverages will be allowed to be brought into the
Theatre itself.
-5-
2. EXHIBIT HALL, BANQUET HALL, MEETING ROOMS AND
PLAZA: These areas shall remain unlicensed so that the following may take
place:
a. Events sponsored by a department of the City may bring in their
own alcoholic beverages without restriction.
b. Lessees may bring in their own wine and champagne to serve free -
of -charge to their guests if no other alcoholic beverages are to be served.
c. Lessees holding catered functions may accept bids from
appropriately licensed caterers to serve alcoholic beverages.
d. BYOB events may be held in all unlicensed areas of the Bayfront
Plaza Convention Center, upon approval of the Convention Center

Hall. In order to have such an event, it must be requested by the lessee and
be approved by the Convention Center Manager.
3. MEMORIAL COLISEUM: The Concessionaire may serve beer.
Upon approval of the Coliseum Manager, BYOB events may occur.
E. Control Of Alcoholic Beverages: Alcoholic beverages may not be served at any
event:
1. If the lessee of the facility desires that no alcoholic beverages be served;
or
2. If the Facility Manager or the Director of Convention Facilities
determines that it is not appropriate for alcoholic beverages to be served; or
3. If any violation of any law or regulation would occur. The
Concessionaire will exercise good judgement and must be able to terminate the
serving of alcoholic beverages if, in the opinion of the Director of Convention
Facilities, the Facility Manager or the Facility Manager's representative, it
becomes necessary to do so.
F. Sale Of Alcoholic Beverages: The sale of alcoholic beverages will be permitted
from locations approved by the Facility Manager and will be conducted in accordance

SECTION 104. CATERED FUNCTIONS: A catered function shall be defined as any
function that employs the services of a caterer to provide food and/or beverages to its
attendees at no additional charge other than the price of admission.
The Bayfront Plaza Convention Center and Memorial Coliseum shall be open for the
catering of food and non-alcoholic beverages by any reputable caterer, provided the caterer
has executed a catering agreement with the Facility. The catering of alcoholic beverages in
the unlicensed portions of the Bayfront Plaza Convention Center may also be open to any
reputable caterer who has the appropriate license, provided the caterer has executed a
catering agreement with the Facility.
The Concessionaire may bid on catered events just like any other caterer. If successful,
the Concessionaire will notify the Facility Manager of the catering and provide setup
information to the facility. Since many different caterers will be doing business in the
Bayfront Plaza Convention Center, it is essential that the Concessionaire make specific
arrangements for the use of the Kitchen for each event being serviced. Other caterers may
need access to some of the Kitchen facilities at the same time. The Convention Center
Manager will have the final decision concerning disputes between caterers regarding the use
of the Kitchen. City -owned equipment which is not specifically provided free under this
agreement may be rented from the Facility at standard rates.
When serving as a caterer, the Concessionaire will avoid creating any unnecessary mess
and endeavor to protect the carpet (if any) in the serving areas. Upon termination of the
catering, the Concessionaire will clear all tables, clean the kitchen (if used), and bring all
trash to the designated refuse location.
When operating as a caterer, the Concessionaire will pay for any damage to the
building or City -owned equipment which is caused by the Concessionaire or those employed
by Concessionaire. If Concessionaire fails to properly clean the kitchen after its use, the City
will bill the Concessionaire for the cost of the labor hired to perform this task plus reasonable
administrative fees.
The Concessionaire agrees to pay to the City ten percent (10%) of the gross receipts
charged to the lessee for all food, non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage catering. The
Concessionaire will submit a report of gross receipts and an itemized copy of the invoice to
the lessee and make payment of all fees due to the City on the 10th day of the following
month.
SECTION 105. FESTIVALS: Nonprofit groups often use the Bayfront Arts and Sciences
Park or the old City Hall site/parking lot for large festivals. These festivals may, on occasion,
use the Plaza or the old Exposition Hall slab as part of the festival site. Since the
concessionaire has the concession rights to these two areas, the concessionaire is expected to
cooperate with such groups to promote the success of such festivals by accepting their
tickets/chits at the point of sale for later redemption. The concessionaire also agrees to
remit the normal rent paid to the City.
-7-
SECTION 106. BUCCANEER DAYS: The City has a separate agreement with the
Buccaneer Commission concerning Buccaneer Days. As a result of this agreement,
Concessionaire will have the normal concession rights inside of the Coliseum; however,

insurance coverage required of the Concessionaire in this Article, shall be delivered to the
Facility Manager in form and content satisfactory to the City prior to the execution of this
Agreement.

shall submit to the Facility Manager a certificate showing that such insurance coverage has
been renewed. If such coverage is cancelled or reduced, the Concessionaire shall, within

reduction in coverage, file with the Facility Manager a certificate showing that the required
insurance has been reinstated or provided through another insurance company or companies.

actions or proceedings of any kind whatsoever, in any way resulting from, or arising out of the
acts or omissions of officers and employees of the Concessionaire arising out of this

A. Nonpayment: If the rentals, fees, charges or other money payment which
the Concessionaire herein agrees to pay, or any part thereof, shall be
unpaid after the date the same shall become due.
B. Default: If the Concessionaire shall have failed in the performance of any

of the Concessionaire to submit the reports required by the City, to provide
good service to the lessees of the Coliseum and the Bayfront Plaza
Convention Center, to keep the concessions premises clean and properly
maintained and to keep prices in line with that charged by other public
event facilities. Failure by the City to take any authorized action upon
default by Concessionaire of any of the terms, covenants or conditions
required to be performed, kept and observed by the Concessionaire shall
not be construed to be or act as a waiver of default or in any subsequent
default of any of the terms, covenants and conditions herein contained to be
performed, kept and observed by the Concessionaire.
C. The happening of any act or omission which results in the suspension or
revocation of any act, power, license, permit or authority that terminates

E. The levy of any attachment or execution, or the appointment of any
receiver, or the execution of any other process of any court of competent
jurisdiction which does, or as a direct consequence of such process, will
interfere with Concessionaire's occupancy of the Concession Premises and
will interfere with its operations under this Agreement, and which
attachment, execution, receivership, or other process of such court is not
enjoined, vacated, dismissed, or set aside within a period of thirty (30) days.
F. A petition under any part of the Federal bankruptcy law, or an action under
any present or future solvency law or statute is filed against Concessionaire
and Concessionaire's operations hereunder are interfered with or adversely
affected thereby, or Concessionaire is adjudicated as bankrupt. Upon
notification that the Concessionaire has declared bankruptcy, the City may
immediately make other arrangements to provide concession services to its
customers until an arrangement is worked out between the City and the
Court. The Concessionaire will not share in any of the revenues derived
from such temporary arrangements.
G. Concessionaire shall voluntarily abandon, desert, vacate or discontinue all
or part of its operation of the concession, or the Concession Premises, or
any other action that results in a failure by Concessionaire to provide the
public and others with the service contemplated hereunder.

complaints from lessees citing poor performance on the part of the
Concessionaire for either concession or catering activities within a six-
month period, the Facility Manager will review the complaints with the
Director of Convention Facilities and, if in their opinion, they appear to be
valid, the Facility Manager will provide to the Concessionaire a written
notice about the nature of the complaints and inform the Concessionaire
that he is on probation. The probation period shall last for 90 days. If,
during that period another complaint of a similar nature is made about the
Concessionaire, the Facility Manager, with the written approval of the
- 21 -
Director of Convention Facilities, may terminate the contract with the
Concessionaire by giving a 30 day notice.

performance, no termination declared by either party shall be effective and
