The COUNTY is also represented by the OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF, MICHAEL J. BOUCHARD, in his official capacity as a Michigan Constitutional Officer, whose address is 1200 North Telegraph Road, Bldg. 38 E., Pontiac, Michigan 48341 ("SHERIFF"). In this AGREEMENT, when the COUNTY and SHERIFF are referred to jointly and collectively, they will be referred to as the OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE ("O.C.S.O."). INTRODUCTION: A. The COMPANY has a series of one day events that are open to the general public and held annually on approximately fourteen (14) acres located at 12500 Dixie Highway, Holly, Michigan 48442, which includes numerous performances, performers in period costumes, concerts, demonstrations, shows, ceremonies, and concessions featuring both eateries and drinking booths, and other activities in an effort to recreate the atmosphere of an old European village during the Renaissance era (“EVENT”); B. The COMPANY has consulted with the local law enforcement department regarding its ability to provide sufficient LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT and regarding whether any supplemental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES are desirable and/or necessary. C. The SHERIFF, subject to the limits of available DEPUTIES and budget constraints, is authorized by law to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES throughout the jurisdiction and territorial limits of Oakland County. D. The COMPANY has approached the O.C.S.O. about the possibility of supplementing limited, local LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES with O.C.S.O. DEPUTIES to provide increased LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT; E. The same fiscal and practical restrictions that limit the availability of local police resources for LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT also limit the ability of the SHERIFF to reassign DEPUTIES to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT as part of their normal shift assignments and duties. However, because of the relatively large number of DEPUTIES the O.C.S.O. employs, the O.C.S.O. may be able to provide supplemental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT on an overtime basis. F. The COMPANY, in recognition of the expense to the O.C.S.O. in providing increased LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT, has agreed to pay all COUNTY costs incurred in providing DEPUTIES for increased LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT. G. The O.C.S.O. is agreeable to providing DEPUTIES for supplemental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT pursuant to the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT, provided that such LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES do not: (a) impair or interfere with the O.C.S.O.'s ability to meet its other law enforcement responsibilities; (b) result in any O.C.S.O. loss of operational efficiency or readiness; and/or (c) result in any increased financial burdens or the assumption of any additional liabilities to County taxpayers. THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed as follows: 1. Definitions. In addition to the terms and expressions defined elsewhere in this AGREEMENT, the OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE 2025-2027 LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE MICHIGAN RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL Page 2 of 12 following terms, whether used in the singular or plural, possessive or non-possessive, and/or within or without quotation marks, shall be defined, read, and interpreted as follows: 1.1.

Upon Company’s request, any O.C.S.O. payroll policies, payroll or attendance records, procedures, employment contracts, etc. that are applicable to the determination of the total costs to be paid to the COUNTY by the COMPANY pursuant to this AGREEMENT, shall be made available by appointment with the O.C.S.O. for inspection by the COMPANY. 4.5. The COMPANY has, to its satisfaction, examined the O.C.S.O.'S wage and cost structures and acknowledges and agrees that the COMPANY’S payment to the COUNTY under the terms of this AGREEMENT is not intended to result in any net financial gain or profit for the COUNTY, but is established to guarantee that the O.C.S.O. is fully reimbursed for any and all salary costs, on an overtime basis, and other fringe benefit costs and expenses that the COUNTY is required to pay to, or on behalf of, any DEPUTIES providing supplemental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the EVENT. 5. Subject to the SHERIFF's sole discretion and judgment as to the County-wide prioritization of his law enforcement resources and law enforcement needs, the COMPANY may request from the SHERIFF OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE 2025-2027 LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE MICHIGAN RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL Page 6 of 12 that he assign additional DEPUTIES to perform LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT. The SHERIFF, subject to the terms of this AGREEMENT, may assign any or all such additional requested DEPUTIES at the applicable Hourly Overtime Rate for the rank of each such additional DEPUTY assigned. 6. The O.C.S.O. and the COMPANY agree and acknowledge that the LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES provided for under the terms of this AGREEMENT are strictly limited to those governmental law enforcement functions authorized by law and are exclusively governmental activities and functions of the type and nature that would be normally supported by tax dollars, and that this AGREEMENT simply acknowledges the unusual circumstances and increased law enforcement needs created by the EVENT and the corresponding increased financial burden on government law enforcement agencies created by such EVENT. 7. The COMPANY acknowledges and agrees that there may be circumstances beyond the SHERIFF's control when the SHERIFF, in his sole discretion and judgment as to the prioritization of his law enforcement resources, his overall evaluation of Oakland County's immediate law enforcement needs, and his determination as to the allocation of O.C.S.O. law enforcement personnel at that time to best serve the citizens of Oakland County, may be unable to assign any or all of the DEPUTIES contemplated to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES on any particular EVENT DATE. The COMPANY acknowledges and agrees that this AGREEMENT, does not, and is not intended to, create either any absolute right in favor of the COMPANY, or any corresponding absolute duty or obligation upon the SHERIFF or the O.C.S.O., to guarantee that any specific number or rank of DEPUTIES will be present to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES. The COMPANY acknowledges and agrees that the O.C.S.O.'s good faith and reasonable efforts to cooperate with the COMPANY in providing LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES and to develop the necessary schedules, budgets and plans to enable it to provide the numbers and ranks of DEPUTIES contemplated at the anticipated EVENT DATES and the promised professionalism of the O.C.S.O. in these regards, as demonstrated throughout previous similar agreements, are appropriate and adequate consideration to justify the COMPANY'S decision to enter into this AGREEMENT. The COMPANY hereby agrees to waive any and all CLAIMS against the COUNTY, SHERIFF, or the O.C.S.O. which arise in connection with, or as a result of, any alleged O.C.S.O. failure to provide adequate LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT. 8. If the SHERIFF is unable to provide any or all DEPUTIES necessary to supplement the existing available local LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES on any particular EVENT DATE, he will verbally communicate that fact to the COMPANY as soon as such fact becomes reasonably known to him. 8.1 In the event of staffing shortages, a shift scheduled for a Deputy II may be filled by a Sergeant or Lieutenant to minimize forcing a Deputy II to fill the shift. 9. The SHERIFF and the COUNTY reserve to themselves any rights and obligations relating to the provision of any and all police and/or governmental law enforcement services, and this AGREEMENT does not, and is not intended to, diminish, delegate, divest, impair, or contravene any constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, capacity, immunity, or character of office of either the SHERIFF, the COUNTY, and/or any DEPUTY. 10. O.C.S.O. Independent Status. The COMPANY and the O.C.S.O. agree that neither the O.C.S.O. nor any DEPUTY, by virtue of this AGREEMENT, or otherwise, shall be considered or asserted to be an employee, contractor, sub-contractor, partner, joint venturer, representative, or agent of the COMPANY, and further agree that: 10.1.

This AGREEMENT does not, and is not intended to create, grant, modify, supplement, supersede, alter, or otherwise affect or control, in any manner or form: (a) any right, privilege, benefit, or any other term(s) or condition(s) of employment, of any kind or nature whatsoever, in, upon, or for any DEPUTY and/or any DEPUTY'S agents, representatives, unions, or the successors or assigns of any of them; (b) any applicable O.C.S.O. employment and/or union contract(s); (c) any level(s) or amount(s) of DEPUTY supervision, standard(s) of performance, training and education standard(s); and/or (d) any O.C.S.O. rule(s), regulation(s), hours of work, shift assignment(s), order(s), policy(ies), procedure(s), directive(s), ethical guideline(s), etc., which shall, solely and exclusively, govern and control the employment relationship between the O.C.S.O. and/or all conduct and actions of all DEPUTIES. 10.4.

The COUNTY is also represented by the OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF, MICHAEL J. BOUCHARD, in his official capacity as a Michigan Constitutional Officer, whose address is 1200 North Telegraph Road, Bldg. 38 E., Pontiac, Michigan 48341 ("SHERIFF"). In this AGREEMENT, when the COUNTY and SHERIFF are referred to jointly and collectively, they will be referred to as the OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE ("O.C.S.O."). INTRODUCTION: A. The COMPANY has a series of one day events that are open to the general public and held annually on approximately fourteen (14) acres located at 12500 Dixie Highway, Holly, Michigan 48442, which includes numerous performances, performers in period costumes, concerts, demonstrations, shows, ceremonies, and concessions featuring both eateries and drinking booths, and other activities in an effort to recreate the atmosphere of an old European village during the Renaissance era (“EVENT”); B. The COMPANY has consulted with the local law enforcement department regarding its ability to provide sufficient LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT and regarding whether any supplemental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES are desirable and/or necessary. C. The SHERIFF, subject to the limits of available DEPUTIES and budget constraints, is authorized by law to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES throughout the jurisdiction and territorial limits of Oakland County. D. The COMPANY has approached the O.C.S.O. about the possibility of supplementing limited, local LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES with O.C.S.O. DEPUTIES to provide increased LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT; E. The same fiscal and practical restrictions that limit the availability of local police resources for LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT also limit the ability of the SHERIFF to reassign DEPUTIES to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT as part of their normal shift assignments and duties. However, because of the relatively large number of DEPUTIES the O.C.S.O. employs, the O.C.S.O. may be able to provide supplemental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT on an overtime basis. F. The COMPANY, in recognition of the expense to the O.C.S.O. in providing increased LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT, has agreed to pay all COUNTY costs incurred in providing DEPUTIES for increased LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT. G. The O.C.S.O. is agreeable to providing DEPUTIES for supplemental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT pursuant to the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT, provided that such LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES do not: (a) impair or interfere with the O.C.S.O.'s ability to meet its other law enforcement responsibilities; (b) result in any O.C.S.O. loss of operational efficiency or readiness; and/or (c) result in any increased financial burdens or the assumption of any additional liabilities to County taxpayers. THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed as follows: 1. Definitions. In addition to the terms and expressions defined elsewhere in this AGREEMENT, the OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE 2025-2027 LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE MICHIGAN RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL Page 2 of 12 following terms, whether used in the singular or plural, possessive or non-possessive, and/or within or without quotation marks, shall be defined, read, and interpreted as follows: 1.1.

The COMPANY has, to its satisfaction, examined the O.C.S.O.'S wage and cost structures and acknowledges and agrees that the COMPANY’S payment to the COUNTY under the terms of this AGREEMENT is not intended to result in any net financial gain or profit for the COUNTY, but is established to guarantee that the O.C.S.O. is fully reimbursed for any and all salary costs, on an overtime basis, and other fringe benefit costs and expenses that the COUNTY is required to pay to, or on behalf of, any DEPUTIES providing supplemental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the EVENT. 5. Subject to the SHERIFF's sole discretion and judgment as to the County-wide prioritization of his law enforcement resources and law enforcement needs, the COMPANY may request from the SHERIFF OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE 2025-2027 LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE MICHIGAN RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL Page 6 of 12 that he assign additional DEPUTIES to perform LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT. The SHERIFF, subject to the terms of this AGREEMENT, may assign any or all such additional requested DEPUTIES at the applicable Hourly Overtime Rate for the rank of each such additional DEPUTY assigned. 6. The O.C.S.O. and the COMPANY agree and acknowledge that the LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES provided for under the terms of this AGREEMENT are strictly limited to those governmental law enforcement functions authorized by law and are exclusively governmental activities and functions of the type and nature that would be normally supported by tax dollars, and that this AGREEMENT simply acknowledges the unusual circumstances and increased law enforcement needs created by the EVENT and the corresponding increased financial burden on government law enforcement agencies created by such EVENT. 7. The COMPANY acknowledges and agrees that there may be circumstances beyond the SHERIFF's control when the SHERIFF, in his sole discretion and judgment as to the prioritization of his law enforcement resources, his overall evaluation of Oakland County's immediate law enforcement needs, and his determination as to the allocation of O.C.S.O. law enforcement personnel at that time to best serve the citizens of Oakland County, may be unable to assign any or all of the DEPUTIES contemplated to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES on any particular EVENT DATE. The COMPANY acknowledges and agrees that this AGREEMENT, does not, and is not intended to, create either any absolute right in favor of the COMPANY, or any corresponding absolute duty or obligation upon the SHERIFF or the O.C.S.O., to guarantee that any specific number or rank of DEPUTIES will be present to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES. The COMPANY acknowledges and agrees that the O.C.S.O.'s good faith and reasonable efforts to cooperate with the COMPANY in providing LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES and to develop the necessary schedules, budgets and plans to enable it to provide the numbers and ranks of DEPUTIES contemplated at the anticipated EVENT DATES and the promised professionalism of the O.C.S.O. in these regards, as demonstrated throughout previous similar agreements, are appropriate and adequate consideration to justify the COMPANY'S decision to enter into this AGREEMENT. The COMPANY hereby agrees to waive any and all CLAIMS against the COUNTY, SHERIFF, or the O.C.S.O. which arise in connection with, or as a result of, any alleged O.C.S.O. failure to provide adequate LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES at the EVENT. 8. If the SHERIFF is unable to provide any or all DEPUTIES necessary to supplement the existing available local LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES on any particular EVENT DATE, he will verbally communicate that fact to the COMPANY as soon as such fact becomes reasonably known to him. 8.1 In the event of staffing shortages, a shift scheduled for a Deputy II may be filled by a Sergeant or Lieutenant to minimize forcing a Deputy II to fill the shift. 9. The SHERIFF and the COUNTY reserve to themselves any rights and obligations relating to the provision of any and all police and/or governmental law enforcement services, and this AGREEMENT does not, and is not intended to, diminish, delegate, divest, impair, or contravene any constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty, capacity, immunity, or character of office of either the SHERIFF, the COUNTY, and/or any DEPUTY. 10.
