(i) The Grantee shall have the use of the property, including both real
and personal, acquired with funding under this agreement, at the project site
for so long as the facility is operated by Grantee, open to the public, and has
a primary purpose of promoting tourism. At such time as any of the
conditions in the preceding sentence shall cease to exist, the Grantee shall
transfer ownership and possession of equipment and personal property to a
local government or another not-for-profit organization which is a facility for
which tourist development taxes may be used pursuant to Florida Statute
125.0104 with prior approval from TDC and BOCC.
(ii) At any time that the Grantee: (a) elects to stop the project or otherwise
decide not to place into service for tourist-related purposes the facility
acquired, constructed, or renovated with tourist development tax funding, (b)
demolishes the project facility or divests itself of ownership or possession of
the real property, or (c) ceases the use of the property with a primary
purpose of promoting tourism, Grantee shall, pursuant to the formula set
forth hereafter, refund to the County the Tourist Development funding. This
provision shall survive the termination date of all other provisions of this
contract for a period of ten years. Should the demolition, transfer of
ownership, or change to a non-tourist related purpose occur after the facility
has been used for tourist-related purposes for at least three (3) years, the
amount of refund shall be pro-rated based on a useful life of ten (10) years.

responsible for repayment of any and all audit exceptions which are identified by the
