THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this day of , 2001, by
and between the CITY OF SAINT PALJL, Division of Parks and Recreation, herinafter referred

"MINNESOTA WIRE"
As owner of MIDWAY STADIITM, hereinafter referred to as "STADIiJM," the Ciry
grants peanission to the above-named Tenant for use of up to two (2) double rows of the parking
lot, which amounts to 144 spaces, for the express purpose of pazking by employees of Minnesota
Wire while they are working for Minnesota Wue. See Addendum for map of where these parking

east side of its building.
The tetms of this agreement will be in effect for five (5) years from the date of sia ing

option to extend this agreement to the date of signing in the yeaz 2011, if both parties continue to

signing in the yeaz 2011. Af�er such date a new agreement may be negotiated by the City and the
Minnesota Wire, if such an agreement is desired by both parties.
Whereas, when Minnesota Wire's building was constructed through the auspices of the
Saint Paut Port Authority, there was an assumption, as well as an unwritten agreement, that any

and the City will continue to chazge no rental fee for the use ofthese pazking spaces, driveways,
and the service lane by Mumesota Wire or to provide any of the services offered by the City in
this agreement.
This agreement is made and entered into based upon the following expressed covenants
and conditions, all of which Minnesota Wire agrees to:
That in granting this above-stated permission, the City does not relinquish the right to
control management of the pazking lot, and to enforce all necessary rules for operation of
same.

the Director of Pazks and Recreation.
3. That Mumesota Wire will not assign this agreement to another party, nor sublet the azea
or any part thereof to another party or parties.
