10.2 SMG Affiliates (a) Transactions with Affiliates In connection with its management respon- sibilities hereunder relating to the purchase and /or procurement of equipment, materials, sup- plies, inventories, and services for the Facility, SMG may purchase and /or procure from, or oth- erwise transact business with, an Affiliate of SMG, subject to review and written approval by the County. In the event SMG purchases and /or procures from, or otherwise transacts business with, an Affiliate of SMG as contemplated by the foregoing sentence, the prices charged and services rendered shall be competitive with those obtainable from others rendering comparable goods and /or services of like kind. To ensure compliance in this respect, SMG agrees to obtain at least two (2) other competitive proposals from Persons other than SMG's Affiliates whenever SMG proposes to transact business with an Affiliate for the provision of such goods or services he- reunder, and to provide correct copies of all such proposals to the County prior to entering into the relationship with the Affiliate. In addition, SMG may license the use of the Facility or any part thereof to itself in connection with any event in the promotion of which SMG is involved, so long as the license fee charged is on prevailing rates and terms or such other rates and terms as the County approves. (b) Conflicts of Interest The County acknowledges that SMG manages other public assembly facilities which may, from time to time, be in competition with the Facility. The management of competing facilities will not, in and of itself, be deemed a conflict of interest or breach of SMG's duties hereunder; provided, however, in all instances in which the Facility is in competition with other public assembly facilities managed by SMG for the solicitation of certain events, SMG shall not involve its principal office (currently in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) on behalf of any such other facility in an attempt to influence the decision - making process regarding the selection of a site by such events. 11. Laws and Permits. 11.1 Permits, Licenses, Taxes and Liens SMG shall procure any permits and licenses required for the business to be con- ducted by it hereunder. The County shall cooperate with SMG in applying for such permits and licenses, but the County itself shall not necessarily be a licensee or permitee unless required by the applicable license or permit or the unless required by the County for other reasons. SMG shall deliver copies of all such permits and licenses to the Contract Administrator. SMG shall pay promptly, out of the accounts specified in Section 5.6, all taxes, excises, license fees and permit fees of whatever nature arising from its operation, promotion and management of the Fa- cility. SMG shall use reasonable efforts to prevent mechanic's or materialman's or any other lien from becoming attached to the premises or improvements at the Facility, or any part or par- cel thereof, by reason of any work or labor performed or materials furnished by any mechanic or materialman, so long as the work, labor or material was provided at SMG's direction and the County has supplied funds for the payment of charges therefor in accordance with this Agree- ment. 11.2 Governmental Comnliance. pdfconvert. 9450 .1.cabarrus_agreement_2015.doc 26 F -1 Attachment number 1 Page 106
