Commencement Date and all other dates affected thereby shall be revised to conform to the date the Premises are made
available to Licensee.
County may terminate this Agreement upon any default or breach by Licensee. County may terminate this Agreement for
its convenience upon reasonable notice to Licensee.
4.USE. Licensee shall only use the Premises as a workshop facility for the creation or production of hand‐crafted artistic or
decorative goods; provided further, in no event may Licensee make use of the Premises in any way that is in violation of any
governmental laws, rules, or regulations, whether now existing or hereafter enacted, insofar as they might relate to
Licensee’s use of the Premises. Licensee may not make any alterations or improvements to the Premises. Licensee shall not
disturb the use and enjoyment of the Studios by any other Licensee, occupant, or user or of any other part of the building in
which the Studios are located. Licensee may not use the Studios for any inappropriate or unlawful activity including
obscenity and use of material protected by intellectual property laws.
The Licensee shall have completed the County's review process for a studio space and maintain a high level of artistic
standards. Licensee agrees to engage in some of the following ways (or as may otherwise be agreed to by the Director of
the Orange County Arts Commission (“OCAC”)):
Commit to regular use of the studio
Commit to participating in monthly Open Studio Receptions
If applicable, create videos/posts that can be shared on OCAC’s social media platforms
Actively share and promote OCAC social media posts
Serve as a liaison for visiting artists
Teach a workshop or class (paid pursuant to a separate written agreement between Licensee and County)
Share photo/video documentation of events at the Eno Mill Studios
Volunteer specific skills/resources for installation and building prep
If Licensee anticipates being absent from the Studio or unable to use the Studio for a significant period of time, and
Licensee wishes to allow another Licensee to use the Studio or wishes to make other arrangements to address the absence,
then Licensee will notify the Director of the OCAC. Licensee and the Director of the OCAC will work together in an effort to
determine appropriate arrangements to address the absence.
If the Premises is to be accessed by more than one Licensee, then each Licensee accessing the Premises must sign this
Agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement shall apply to each Licensee.
5.MONTHLY FEES. Licensee agrees to pay to County at the address specified in Paragraph 1(b), the monthly fees as stated in
Paragraph 1(h) without any prior notice or demand and without any deduction whatsoever. The monthly fees shall be paid
in advance on a monthly basis, on or before the first day of each month of the Term, except that the first installment of the
monthly fees shall be paid by the Licensee to County prior to the Commencement Date. All charges, costs and adjustments
required to be paid by the Licensee to County under this Agreement, in addition to the monthly fees, shall be considered
DocuSign Envelope ID: 44DA8598-93D2-46F6-BDE5-2649F9058A03
additional fees and shall, collectively with the monthly fees, be called the “Fees.” The covenant of the Licensee to pay the
Fees shall be independent of every other covenant of the Agreement. If Licensee does not pay the Fees by the fifth
(calendar) day of a month, Licensee shall also pay to County a late charge of $15.00 (fifteen dollars) as additional Fees. Such
late charge shall be increased by $5.00 (five dollars) for each subsequent 5‐day period (calendar days) that the Fees are not
paid.
6.DEPOSIT. Prior to the Commencement Date, Licensee shall deliver to County the sum set forth in paragraph 1(i), which
County shall retain as security for the performance by Licensee of each of its obligations hereunder. If Licensee fails at any
time to perform its obligations, County may at its option apply the Deposit, or so much thereof as is required, to cure
Licensee’s default, but if prior to the termination of this Agreement, County depletes the Deposit in whole or in part,
Licensee shall immediately restore the amount so used by County. County may commingle this Deposit with its other funds
and any interest thereon is the sole property of the County. If Licensee is not in default hereunder, County shall within 30
days of the termination or expiration of this Agreement refund to Licensee so much of the Deposit as it continues to hold.
7.SERVICES BY COUNTY AND UTILITIES. County shall cause to be furnished to the Premises, during reasonable business
hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM (excluding national or state holidays), the following services: reasonable
electricity; wireless internet access, building standard fluorescent lighting; heating at seasonably reasonable temperatures;
supplying the rest rooms; plus nonhazardous trash removal, janitorial service, and furnishing hot and cold water to the
building Common Areas. County has the right, but not the obligation, to inspect the Premises and all electrical devices
therein from time to time to assure that such devices are not overloading the electrical system at the Studios or otherwise
creating an electrical hazard. Licensee acknowledges that due to the imperfect nature of electronic communications,
electronics and utilities, and County shall not be responsible for damages, direct or consequential, which may result for the
failure of County to furnish any of the aforesaid services. County will, however, act in good faith and in a commercially
reasonable manner in working to remedy any flaws in the facilities or equipment, or delays in providing access to the
facilities or equipment to Licensee.
8.LICENSEE’S ACCEPTANCE AND MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES. Upon the commencement of the use of the Premises by
Licensee, Licensee represents to County that it has examined and inspected the Premises and finds such to be as
represented by County and satisfactory for Licensee’s intended use, which examination and findings constitute Licensee’s
acceptance “AS IS, WHERE IS, SUBJECT TO ALL FAULTS.” County makes no representation or warranty as to the condition of
the Premises. Licensee shall maintain the Premises during the Term in a good, neat, clean and attractive condition at all
times and shall leave the Premises at the end of the Term in good repair and condition. Licensee shall take no actions that
will damage or otherwise devalue the Premises or the Studios. If Licensee does not perform its maintenance obligations in a
timely manner and diligently and continuously pursue completion, County shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
perform such maintenance, and any amounts so expended by County shall be paid by Licensee to County promptly after
demand. Licensee acknowledges that Licensee is using the Premises and Studios at Licensee’s own free will and decision,
and that County does not have any liability with respect to Licensee’s access, participation in, use of the facilities, or any
loss resulting from such participation or use.
9.NO ASSIGNMENTS OR LEASES. Licensee has no interest in the Studios or the Premises and may not assign, transfer,
mortgage, or encumber this Agreement in any way, and may not sublease any part or all of the Premises. In no event shall
this Agreement be assignable by operation of law, and Licensee’s rights hereunder may not become, and shall not be listed
by Licensee as an asset under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceedings. Licensee is not, may not become,
and shall never represent itself to be an agent of County, and Licensee expressly recognizes that County’s leasehold is
paramount. By executing this Agreement Licensee expressly states Licensee has no property interest in or to the Studios or
the Premises.
10.LICENSEE’S OBLIGATIONS. Licensee shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations affecting the manner
in which Licensee uses the Premises, now existing or hereafter adopted, including general rules and regulations for
Licensees (a copy of the present rules being attached as Exhibit B), as may be developed from time to time by County and
delivered to Licensee or posted at the Studios. Licensee shall further comply with the environmental obligations set out on
Exhibit C attached hereto.
Licensee at its sole cost and expense shall keep or cause to be kept for the mutual benefit of County and Licensee a
commercial general liability insurance policy naming County as additional insured against any and all claims for bodily injury
and property damage occurring in or about the Premises and Studios or arising out the Licensee’s (or Licensee’s authorized
representatives, invitees, agents, or anyone else for whom Licensee is responsible) use of or activities on or in connection
with the Premises or Studios.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 44DA8598-93D2-46F6-BDE5-2649F9058A03
Licensee shall neither have nor make any claim, and releases County and waives any such claim, against County for any loss
or damage to any personal property of Licensee or its employees, agents or contractors, regardless of the cause thereof.
LICENSEE IS STRONGLY ADVISED TO OBTAIN AND MAINTAIN AN INSURANCE POLICY INSURING LICENSEE’S PROPERTY AT
THE PREMISES AND STUDIOS TO PROTECT LICENSEE’S PROPERTY FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE.
Except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct by County, Licensee shall indemnify and hold County harmless from
and against any and all claims arising out of (a) Licensee’s use of the Premises and Studios, (b) any activity, work, or other
thing done by Licensee in or about the Premises and Studios, or (c) any act or negligence of Licensee, or any officer, agent,
employee, contractor, servant, invitee or guest or customer of Licensee; and in each case from and against any and all
damages, injuries, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees at all tribunal levels) arising in
connection with any such claim or claims as described in (a) through (c) above, or any action brought thereon. Licensee
assumes all risk of damage or loss to its property or injury or death to persons in, on, or about the Premises or the Studios,
from all causes except those for which the law imposes liability on County regardless of any attempted waiver thereof, and
Licensee hereby waives such claims in respect thereof against County. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
Licensee shall at all times during the Term maintain insurance.
County and its respective board members, employees, volunteers, instructors, agents, contractors and officers shall not, to
the maximum extent permitted by law, be liable for, and the Licensee waives all right of recovery against County and such
individuals for any damage or claim with respect to any injury to person or damage to, or loss or destruction of, any
property of Licensee, its contractors, employees and invitees due to any act, omission or occurrence in or about the
Premises, Studios, or the Eno River Mill complex.
11. ACCESS TO PREMISES. County shall have the right, either itself or through its authorized agents, to enter the Premises at all
times, with or without notice, to examine the same and to make such repairs, alterations, or improvements, or for any
other reason County deems necessary. Licensee, and its agents, employees, invitees, and guests, shall have the right of
ingress and egress to the area within and about the Premises and those Studio areas reserved for the common use and
enjoyment of all Licensees of the Studios, including, but not limited to, corridors, lobbies, and any break rooms (the
“Common Area”). County reserves the right to control the access and use of the Common Area, through the rules and
regulations, for the comfort and convenience of all Licensees and users of the Studios, and the right to revoke Licensee’s
access privileges upon reasonable notice.
12. DEFAULT. If Licensee fails to pay Monthly Fee or other sum of money as provided in this Agreement when due, breaches
any other agreement or obligation set forth herein, or fails to comply with County’s rules and regulations regarding the use
of the Premises and Common Areas, then Licensee shall be in default hereunder, and County shall have, without further
notice, all rights and remedies available to it in law or in equity, including, but not limited to, the rights to terminate or
revoke this Agreement and recover any and all damages to which County is entitled, including any costs incurred by County
to exclude Licensee (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), any unpaid sums owed to County at the time of termination,
plus interest at the maximum legal rate, and any other sums owed to County by Licensee.
All rights and remedies of County are cumulative, and the exercise of any one shall not be an election excluding County at
any other time from exercise of a different or inconsistent remedy. No waiver by County of any covenant or condition shall
be deemed to imply or constitute a further waiver of the same at a later time, and acceptance of the Monthly Fee by
County even with knowledge of a default by Licensee does not constitute a waiver of such default. An election by County to
terminate this Agreement shall only be deemed to occur upon the express, written election by County to do so. County
shall have no obligation to, and Licensee expressly waives County’s obligation to, mitigate its damages arising out of a
breach of this Agreement by Licensee.
13. PROPERTY OF LICENSEE. Licensee shall timely pay any and all taxes levied or assessed against or upon all of Licensee’s
personal property located at Premises and Studios (“Licensee Property”). Prior to the end of the Term, Licensee may
remove all Licensee Property that it has placed at the Premises provided Licensee repairs all damages caused by such
removal. If Licensee does not remove Licensee Property from the Premises within 5 days after expiration or termination (for
whatever cause) of this Agreement, such property (other than that containing radioactive, biologically active or other
hazardous substances or materials) shall be deemed conclusively abandoned by Licensee, and County may dispose of the
same in whatever manner County may elect.
DocuSign Envelope ID: 44DA8598-93D2-46F6-BDE5-2649F9058A03
14.NOTICES. Any notice or consent that County or Licensee is required to give to the other under this Agreement shall be
made in writing and delivered (i) personally by hand delivery; (ii) by United States Postal System certified mail, postage or
fees prepaid; or (iii) by recognized overnight courier (such as Fed Ex or UPS) to the notice addresses set forth in Paragraph 1
or to such other notice address as such party shall render to the other at least 10 days prior. Such notice shall be deemed
effective as of the time and date of delivery.
15.SURRENDER. Licensee will vacate the Premises at the end of the Term in a good, and clean condition as the same was at
the beginning of Licensee's occupancy, excepting ordinary wear and tear, and shall remove all of Licensee’s Property from
the Premises and Studios on or before the end of the Term.
If Licensee accesses the Premises without County’s express written consent after the end of the term, such access shall not
be deemed to be a renewal of this Agreement but shall result at any time in County being able to take actions to remove
Licensee and Licensee Property from the Premises and Studios. In addition, Licensee expressly agrees to hold County
harmless from any and all loss and damages, direct and consequential, that County may suffer in defense of claims by
parties against County arising out of the access by Licensee, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees in
connection with County’s defense of such claims.
16.COUNTY’S LIABILITY. Licensee agrees that County is not liable to Licensee for any damage to Licensee and Licensee’s
Property due to: The Premises or any part of the Studios being improperly constructed or being or becoming out of repair;
for voltage surges or inconsistency in the supply of electricity or other utilities; for acts of other Licensees, of guests or of
visitors in the Studios; or for any injury to Licensee’s business or any loss of income therefrom or for any damage to any
goods, wares, merchandise, or other Licensee Property, Licensee’s contractors, agents, employees, invitees, customers, or
any other person in or about the Studios or the Premises; and County is not liable for injury to the person of Licensee or to
Licensee’s contractors, agents, employees, invitees or customers, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results
from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes,
sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures or from any other cause, whether such damage
or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Studios or from other sources or
places, and regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or means of repairing the same is inaccessible to
Licensee. In the event of any casualty or condemnation of all or a portion of the Studios, County may terminate this
Agreement immediately, and Licensee shall have no claims against County for damages or for any portion of any resulting
insurance proceeds or condemnation award.
17.COMPLIANCE WITH LAW AND CHOICE OF VENUE. Both parties agree this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of North Carolina and Orange County. Any claim or action brought for, by, or against either party shall be brought in
the General Court of Justice seated in Orange County, North Carolina and no other court shall have jurisdiction.
Licensee shall at all times remain in compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws, rules, and regulations
including but not limited to all state and federal anti‐discrimination laws, policies, rules, and regulations and the Orange
County Non‐Discrimination Policy and Orange County Living Wage Policy (each policy is incorporated herein by reference
and may be viewed at http://www.orangecountync.gov/departments/purchasing_division/contracts.php.). Any violation of
this requirement is a breach of this Agreement and County may immediately terminate this Agreement without penalty or
further obligation on the part of the County. This paragraph is not intended to limit and does not limit the definition of
breach to discrimination.
18.MISCELLANEOUS. Heading of paragraphs are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing the meaning
of the contents of same. The invalidity of any portion of this Agreement shall not have any effect on the balance hereof.
Should any legal proceedings be instituted involving this Agreement and County shall prevail in such action, Licensee shall in
addition be liable for the costs and expenses of County in asserting or defending such legal action, including its reasonable
attorneys’ fees. This Agreement is binding upon the respective parties hereto, and upon their heirs, executors, successors,
and assigns. This Agreement supersedes and cancels all prior negotiations between the parties, and no changes,
amendments or modifications hereto shall be effective unless in writing signed by the party affected by such change,
amendment or modification. County reserves the right to promulgate (and change from time to time) reasonable
regulations it deems appropriate for the common use and benefit of all Licensees, with which regulations Licensee shall
comply. County may assign this Agreement without the consent of Licensee and without affecting the obligations of
Licensee hereunder, and upon such assignment, County shall be relieved of all obligations under this Agreement, and the
term “County” as used in this Agreement shall refer to and mean such successor licensor. If any Deposit or prepaid
Monthly Fee has been paid by Licensee, County shall transfer the Deposit or prepaid Monthly Fee to County’s successor or
return to Licensee. Licensee agrees to attorn to any successor to County. The singular shall include the plural, and the
DocuSign Envelope ID: 44DA8598-93D2-46F6-BDE5-2649F9058A03
masculine, feminine, or neuter includes the other. Each of County and Licensee represents to the other that each has lawful
authority to enter into this Agreement and by signing it in their name as set forth below, to be legally bound in accordance
with the terms and conditions hereof. This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of each of County and Licensee
hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of North Carolina, without giving
effect to conflicts of law principles, and shall be expressly subject and subordinate to the terms of that certain lease
agreement between Orange County, as County, and its landlord, may be amended, regarding Studios. County has no right
to the work produced by Licensee or guests working within the Studios, and Licensee shall maintain all copyrights, patents
and any other proprietary rights related to Licensee's works that are created using the Studios facilities.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, the parties have hereunto set their hands and seals as of the Effective Date.

ENO ARTS MILL STUDIOS RULES AND REGULATIONS
Orange County strives to provide a safe, productive and fun work environment for its Licensees. In light of this mission, Licensees shall comply
with the following policies and procedures for working in the Eno Arts Mill Studios. Failure to obey these policies and procedures can make our
facilities dangerous or unwelcoming to others, and such actions on your part may result in your Agreement being terminated without
notice. Please take them seriously. County reserves the right to change these policies and procedures as needed with or without notice to
Licensees.
(1) Safety. County makes no guarantee as to the safety of person or property. Licensee and its guests must obey all posted signs and literature
pertaining to safe use of Eno Arts Mill Studios and equipment. Licensee shall not use or permit the use of equipment Licensee is not comfortable with
or trained to use. Licensee shall notify County immediately of any part of the Studio or Premises infrastructure that appears to be unsafe. Licensee’s
guests and their actions are the sole liability and responsibility of the host Licensee. Licensee is solely responsible for the safety of itself, its invitees,
guests, agents, employees, and customers and is solely liable and responsible for the condition and nature of any property or equipment brought
into the Studios and Premises.
(2) Access to Studios. On Saturdays, Sundays, legal holidays and on weekdays between the hours of 6:00 P.M. and 8:00 A.M., access to the
Studios and/or to the halls, corridors, elevators or stairways in the Studios may be restricted and access shall be gained by use of a key to the outside
doors of the Studios. County may from time to time establish security controls for the purpose of regulating access to the Studios. Licensee shall
abide by all such security regulations so established.
(3) Respectful Behavior. In both in‐person and electronic interactions, Licensee shall behave respectfully, courteously, and professionally to
others. No discrimination, harassment, or hate speech will be tolerated. Licensee may not enter any individual workspaces that are not assigned to
Licensee without explicit permission from the ones who are assigned such other workspaces. Licensee is encouraged to be open to constructive
feedback from fellow Licensees, especially as it pertains to safe use of equipment and disrespectful communication or behavior.
(4) Large Articles. Furniture, freight and other large or heavy articles may be brought into the Studios only at times and in the manner
designated by the County and always at Licensee’s sole responsibility. All damage done to the Studios, Premises, or Eno Mill, its furnishings, fixtures
or equipment by moving or maintaining such furniture, freight or articles shall be repaired at the expense of Licensee.
(5) Defacing Premises and Overloading. Licensee shall not place anything or allow anything to be placed in the Premises near the glass of any
door, partition, wall or window which may be unsightly from the exterior. Licensee shall not place or permit to be placed any article of any kind on
any window ledge or on the exterior walls, blinds, shades, awnings or other forms of inside or outside window ventilators or similar devices shall not
be placed in or about the outside windows in the Premises except to the extent that the character, shape, color material and m ake thereof is approved
by County. Licensee shall not do any painting or decorating in the Premises or install any floor coverings in the Premises or make, paint, cut or drill
into, or in any way deface any part of the Premises or Studios without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of County. Licensee shall
not overload any floor or part thereof in the Premises, or any facility in the building by bringing in or removing any large or heavy articles and County
may direct and control the location of safes, files, and all other heavy articles and, if considered necessary by County, require supplementary supports
at Licensee’s expense of such material and dimensions necessary to properly distribute the weight.
(6) Obstruction of Common Areas. Licensee shall not, whether temporarily, accidentally or otherwise, allow anything to remain in, place or
store anything in, or obstruct in any way, any Common Area, nor on or around the loading dock. Licensee shall lend its full cooperation to keep such
area free from all obstruction and in a clean and sightly condition, and move all supplies, furniture and equipment as soon as received directly to the
Premises, and shall move all such items and waste that are at any time being taken from the Premises directly to the areas designated for disposal.
All courts, passageways, entrances, exits, elevators, stairways, corridors, halls and roofs are not for the use of the general public, and County shall in
all cases retain the right to control and prevent access thereto by all persons provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to
prevent such access to persons with whom Licensee deals with in the normal course of Licensee’s business unless such persons are engaged in illegal
activities.
(7)Enclosures/ Partitions. Licensee shall not construct or install permanent walls or dividers in their Premises. If Licensee desires to delineate
Premises, they may do so using stable furniture solutions. All furniture must be removable leaving little or no evidence of their existence, not be
taller than 7 feet, and away from Common Areas and aisles.
(8) Additional Locks. Licensee shall not attach or permit to be attached additional locks or similar devices to any door or window, change
existing locks or the mechanism thereof, or make or permit to be made any keys for any door other than those provided by County. Upon termination
of this Agreement or of Licensee’s access, Licensee shall surrender all keys to the Premises.
(9) Communications or Utility Connections. If Licensee desires any utility or similar service connections installed or changed, Licensee shall
not install or change the same without the approval of County, and then only under direction of County and at Licensee’s expense. Licensee shall not
