Section 201.                                         Lease of Leased Premises. Subject to and upon the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions hereinafter set forth, and each in consideration of the duties, covenants and obligations of the other hereunder, the Authority hereby leases, demises and lets to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from the Authority, the Leased Premises. The square footage of the Leased Premises shall be as calculated by the Authority and confirmed by Tenant.

 

Section 202.                                         Ownership of Improvements and Equipment.  The Leased Premises, including without limitation any buildings, fixtures, facilities, structures, additions, Equipment or improvements in, on or to the Leased Premises, are and shall remain the property of the Authority, subject to Tenant’s rights hereunder to use the same during the Term of, and in accordance with, this Lease Agreement. Tenant shall not remove, or permit the removal, of any of the Equipment from the Leased Premises without the prior written consent of the Authority. The Excluded Property is and shall remain the property of Tenant.

 

Section 203.                                       Master Lists of Equipment and Excluded Property.

 

(A)                               The Authority has generated a list of Equipment owned by the Authority and located at the Leased Premises, which list was sent to Tenant on May 22, 2013 (the “Master List of Equipment”):

 

(1)                                 The Master List of Equipment represents Equipment that is in Tenant’s possession for use at the Leased Premises as of the Execution Date;

 

(2)                                 Should Tenant no longer desire to continue to possess any type of Equipment from the Master List of Equipment, Tenant agrees to not dispose of any said Equipment.  In such event, Tenant agrees to return to Authority any and all such Equipment for disposition;

 

(3)                               To the extent that, pursuant to the Authority’s obligations under Section 1002, the Authority removes an item of Equipment from the Leased Premises, the Authority shall provide Tenant with written notice thereof in order to update the Master List of Equipment in order to reflect that removal.

 

(B)                               Tenant shall generate and maintain a comprehensive list of Excluded Property (the “Master List of Excluded Property”) and provide that list to Authority annually, on the anniversary of the Commencement Date.

 

Section 204. Condition of Leased Premises. Subject to performance by the Authority of its obligations with respect to the Activation of Bays and other portions of the Leased Premises as provided in this Lease, including in Section 205 below, and subject to Sections 705 and 1702, Tenant accepts the Leased Premises in its “AS-IS” condition, and acknowledges and agrees that except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease Agreement, the Authority shall have no obligation to perform or complete any alterations, improvements or modifications to the Leased Premises.

 

11

 

Section 205.                           Possession of Bays; Activation; De-Activation.

 

(A)                               For purposes of this Lease, an “Activation Notice” means written notice from Tenant as to which Bay or Bays that Tenant wishes for the Authority to Activate.  Included in such notice should be Tenant’s requested activation date (“Requested Activation Date”). “Activation” by the Authority of a Bay means that the Authority furnishes to Tenant in good working order and condition, all Facilities Systems (other than Excluded Systems).  Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Facilities Systems means only those Facilities Systems which are installed in and/or otherwise located at the Leased Premises as of the Commencement Date of this Lease (and in their current locations as of the Commencement Date of this Lease), and does not include Excluded Systems.  Tenant hereby further acknowledges and agrees, that unless the Authority otherwise expressly agrees in writing, the Authority shall not have any obligation, in connection with Activating any portion of the Leased Premises or otherwise, to install new or additional Facilities Systems within any portion of the Leased Premises, to extend to any portion of the Leased Premises any Facilities Systems which have not, as of the Commencement Date, already been extended to that portion of the Leased Premises, or to make operational any Excluded Systems.

 

(B)                               During the Term of this Lease, as Tenant desires for Bays to be Activated by the Authority, Tenant shall provide an Activation Notice to the Authority, with respect to those Bays of the Leased Premises it desires to use; provided, however, that the Requested Activation Date may not be fewer than ten (10) days from the date that Tenant delivers its Activation Notice to the Authority.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Authority agrees to use its best commercially reasonable efforts to make any Bay available in less than ten (10) days.  However, should Authority find it cannot complete in total an activation of a Bay within ten (10) days, Authority shall be required to provide to Tenant a listing of items that remain to be repaired or replaced with a timetable for completion.

 

(C)                               The Authority shall use its best commercially reasonable efforts to Activate, by the Requested Activation Date, those Bays that are identified in Tenant’s Activation Notice. At such time as the Authority has Activated a Bay pursuant to an Activation Notice from Tenant, the Authority shall deliver to Tenant a written notice that the Activated Bay is Activated as per Tenant’s Activation Notice.  Tenant shall have the right to inspect, within seven (7) days after receipt of the Authority’s written notice to confirm that such areas have been Activated as per Tenant’s Activation Notice.  To the extent that Authority has the Bay(s) identified in the Activation Notice ready for activation prior to the Requested Activation Date, Tenant shall have the option to take possession of such areas prior to the Requested Activation Date and if Tenant does so, Tenant shall be deemed to occupy such space on such earlier date and shall be responsible for all Rental therefor. If Tenant discovers any material deficiencies upon said inspection, Tenant shall give the Authority a written list of those material deficiencies. For purposes of this subsection (C), a “material deficiency” means that the Activated space fails to comply, in a material manner, with the Tenant’s requests for Facilities Systems as set forth in Tenant’s Activation Notice for that space.  If Tenant does not notify the Authority within the seven (7) day period that there are any material deficiencies, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the condition of the Activated space. The Authority shall correct any material deficiencies noted by Tenant in accordance with the prior sentences prior to Tenant’s being obligated to take possession of that Activated Bay. However, Tenant may elect to take possession of said space prior to the correction of the material deficiencies, and Authority shall correct said material deficiencies within fifteen (15) days of Tenant taking possession of said space.  If Tenant chooses not to take possession due to such noted material deficiencies, Tenant must take possession of that space once the Authority corrects the material deficiencies, provided that the Requested Activation Date has passed. Upon Tenant taking possession of said space, Tenant shall be deemed to occupy such space until de-Occupying such space pursuant to paragraph (D) below.  Once the 

 

12

 

Bay has been Activated, the Authority shall have no further obligations with respect to that Activated Bay except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease.

 

(D)                               Tenant shall have the right at any time, upon not fewer than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Authority, to de-Occupy a Bay(s). Tenant shall specifically identify in its written notice which Bay(s) that Tenant is de-Occupying, and what the date of de-Occupation will be.  Tenant may not deliver a notice of de-Occupation to the Authority with respect to a particular Bay(s) until Tenant has Occupied that portion of the Leased Premises (and paid Base Rent and Additional Rent to the Authority therefor) for at least one full calendar month. Tenant shall always Occupy at least the minimum amount of Leased Premises to enable Tenant to satisfy the Minimum Monthly Rent requirements set forth in Sections 601(A) and (B) of this Lease. With respect to Tenant’s de-Occupation of Activated space, Tenant may not de-Occupy less than all of a Bay and its related space.  Regarding the Machine Shop and/or Composite Shop, Tenant shall not have the right at any time during the Term of the Lease to de-Occupy the Machine Shop or Composite Shop.  Upon the effective date of the de-Occupation, Tenant shall return possession of the de-Occupied space to the Authority. Upon the date of de-Occupation, the Authority shall have the right, at the Authority’s option, to restrict Tenant from accessing and entering into that portion of the Leased Premises that has been de-Occupied and to cease providing the Facilities Systems to that portion of the Leased Premises (provided, however, that the Authority will continue providing some or all of the Facilities Systems to that portion of the Leased Premises if the Authority wishes or as is necessary to provide the Facilities Systems to those areas of the Leased Premises that Tenant is Occupying).  Tenant and the Authority will mutually agree on what personal property of Tenant or its agents, representatives, or customers will be removed from the de-Occupied space; provided, however, that Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Authority shall have no liability or obligation for any loss, damage, or liability with respect to (and no obligation to insure) any such personal property that remains in the de-Occupied space.  Base Rent and Additional Rent shall continue to accrue for space on which a de-Occupation notice has been sent until the effective date of the de-Occupation; Base Rent and Additional Rent shall not accrue for any Bay(s) once de-Occupied. If Tenant thereafter wishes for the Authority to re-Activate any portion of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall provide an Activation Notice to the Authority pursuant to the procedure described in subsections (A), (B) and (C) above.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary and subject to Tenant’s Early Termination Rights in Section 504, Tenant shall at all times Occupy and pay Rentals for at least four (4) Bays, the Machine Shop, the Composite Shop, and the Hangar 4 Office Space (the “Minimum Leased Premises”)

 

(E)                                Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 205 to the contrary, beginning on the Commencement Date and continuing thereafter through the Term hereof, Tenant shall be obligated to pay at least the Minimum Monthly Rent pursuant to Section 601 below, regardless of which (if any) portions of the Leased Premises that Tenant elects to Activate and regardless of which (if any) portions of the Leased Premises that Tenant is Occupying from time to time.

 

(F)                                 In addition to the other obligations of the Authority under this Lease, the Authority shall be liable for all costs, expenses, fees and disbursements related to remedying, curing or remediating any condition at or on the Leased Premises caused by the Authority or that is the responsibility of the Authority and necessary to comply with Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements; provided, however, that Tenant shall be liable for all costs, expenses, fees and disbursements related to remedying, curing or remediating any condition at or on the Leased Premises caused or permitted by Tenant during Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Premises and necessary in order to comply with Environmental, Health & Safety Requirements.

(E)                                The Authority has full right and authority to lease the Leased Premises to Tenant as set forth herein.

 

(F)                                 This Lease Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of the Authority.

 

(G)                               Neither the execution and delivery of this Lease Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Lease Agreement, will conflict with or result in a material breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any restriction, ordinance, agreement or instrument to which the Authority is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a material default under any of the foregoing, or result in the creation or imposition of any material lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of the Authority under the terms of any instrument or agreement.

 

(H)                              There is no litigation now pending or, to the knowledge of the Authority, threatened that challenges or would challenge the execution of this Lease Agreement or that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Authority’s ability to perform hereunder.

 

(I)                                   The Authority shall use its best efforts to protect all of Tenant’s financial information (including but not limited to information regarding Tenant’s costs, prices, pricing methods, revenues, sales and Operating Profit) provided to the Authority as “Confidential financial information obtained upon request from a person” pursuant to the provisions of IC 5-14-3-1 et seq. or to protect it from public disclosure under any other allowable exception. The Authority shall promptly notify the Tenant in

 

16

 

writing of any inadvertent disclosure of Tenant’s financial information, if and when the Authority becomes aware of any such disclosure.

 

(J)                                   The Authority shall execute such collateral access agreements in favor of Tenant’s secured lenders as Tenant’s secured lenders may reasonably request, provided that the terms of those collateral access agreements are reasonably acceptable to the Authority.

 

(K)                               The Authority acknowledges that its presence on the Leased Premises will place it in a position that it may have access to confidential and/or proprietary information concerning the business of the Tenant and/or its Affiliates, including but not limited to trade secrets, secret processes, know-how, products, maintenance procedures, recent and proposed developments, sources of supply and customer names and relationships (“Proprietary Information”) and that such Proprietary Information is among the most valuable of the Tenant’s and/or its Affiliates assets and the value of such information may be destroyed by unauthorized disclosure. Information imparted to or learned by the Authority with respect to the Tenant and/or its Affiliates (whether acquired before or after the date hereof) will be deemed to be confidential Proprietary Information. The Authority hereby covenants that the Authority will use commercially reasonable efforts not to disclose the Proprietary Information and will use commercially reasonable efforts to treat all Proprietary Information with the same degree of care that the Authority accords to its own confidential or proprietary information (and the Authority hereby represents to Tenant that the Authority exercises reasonable care to protect its own confidential or proprietary information), unless (1) such Proprietary Information is or has been made generally available to the public, (2) express prior written authorization to use or disclose such Proprietary Information has been received from Tenant, or (3) the Authority is obligated to disclose such Proprietary Information pursuant to the Indiana Access to Public Records Law (IC 5-14-3-1 et seq.) as the same may amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Access to Public Records Law”). By way of example only, Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Authority may be obligated, under the Access to Public Records Law, to disclose the following, among other things: this Lease, official action by the Authority or its manager pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and the amount of the Rental payments and invoices pertaining thereto.

 

(1)                                 As part of its commercially reasonable efforts described in the preceding sentences, the Authority shall, with respect to those Persons who, from time to time, serve as the Authority’s “on-site” staff at the Facilities and with respect to contractors hired by the Authority to provide services at the Leased Premises, either (a) require those Persons or contractors to sign confidentiality agreements with the Authority which impose obligations of confidentiality upon those Persons or contractors that are consistent with the covenants of the Authority under this subsection (K), or (b) impose in the service or employment contracts (if applicable), between those Persons or contractors and the Authority, obligations of confidentiality upon those Persons or contractors which are consistent with the covenants of the Authority under this subsection (K).

 

(2)                                 Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authority may be required (by depositions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoenas, civil investigative demand or similar process, including, without limitation, requests to disclose pursuant to the Access to Public Records Law) to disclose Proprietary Information. However, the Authority will, to the extent reasonably possible, give Tenant prompt written notice of such request or requirement so that Tenant may seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this subsection (K), and the Authority will cooperate as reasonably necessary with Tenant to obtain such protective order.

 

17

 

(3)                                  Except as required by the Access to Public Records Law and/or any other applicable Law, upon termination of this Lease Agreement for any reason, the Authority will, within a reasonable period of time, destroy any documents or other tangible property containing or reflecting Proprietary Information.

 

(4)                                 The Authority shall promptly notify the Tenant in writing of any inadvertent disclosure of Proprietary Information, if and when the Authority becomes aware of any such disclosure. The covenant of the Authority set forth in this subsection (K) will survive any termination of this Agreement.

(A)                               Tenant shall have a Right of First Refusal to lease additional space within the IMC as specified herein.  Those areas include: Hangar Bay 7A, Hangar Bay 7B, the remainder of vacant space within the Interior Shop, Administrative Building and the remainder of vacant space within the Supply Building.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no Right of First Refusal to the following areas:  any Common Areas, the Central Energy Plant, Industrial Wastewater Facility, Controlled Material Building and any and all Authority, or Authority’s service providers, offices or spaces.  Should Tenant exercise its Right of First Refusal to any available space within the IMC as specified herein, Tenant shall commit to the entire space as that specific area as mentioned by name above.  Tenant’s Right of First Refusal shall only apply when the current tenant of said space vacates their space and then the space becomes available for lease by another party and does not affect the Authority’s right to renegotiate or extend the lease with any existing tenant.  The Authority shall promptly alert Tenant as to such opportunities as they arise.

 

(B)                               In the event Authority receives a written proposal from any third party for the leasing of all or a portion of those spaces mentioned above, Authority shall notify Tenant in writing of the terms and conditions of such proposal to lease space at the IMC and Tenant shall have two (2) weeks upon receipt of the Authority’s written notice of a third party offer to exercise Tenant’s Right of First Refusal.

 

(C)                               To exercise its right of first refusal granted above, Tenant must: (a) not be in default at the time it exercises the Right of First Refusal; and (b) give notice to Authority that Tenant is electing to exercise its right within two (2) weeks after receiving the above referenced notice.

 

(D)                               Should Tenant exercise its Right of First Refusal as stated herein, Tenant shall enter into a lease, or an amendment to an existing Tenant lease, within thirty (30) calendar days of making the election noted in (C) above, and take possession of the premises either within forty five (45) days of the date of such election or within one (1) week of the prior tenant vacating the space, whichever is earlier, upon terms and conditions that are acceptable to Authority and Tenant provided that such terms and conditions shall not be less favorable than the rental and obligation terms and conditions contained in the third party proposal.

 

(E)                                Should Tenant not exercise its Right of First Refusal within the two (2) week period granted in (B) above, or in the event Authority and Tenant are unable to agree to terms and conditions of a lease or amendment to an existing Tenant lease, then Tenant’s Right of First Refusal shall terminate to that particular space as mentioned above and Tenant shall have no further right to such space.

 

(F)                                 Authority shall have a continuing right during the Term to market any portion of the Facilities.

 

Section 402.  Machine Shop, Composite Shop and Interior Shop

 

(A)                               Pursuant to the 4th amendment to the Initial Lease, Authority and Tenant agreed that all Machine Shop and Composite Shop Equipment residing in said Machine Shop and Composite Shop will be accepted by Tenant in “AS-IS” condition and said agreement shall continue during the Term of this

The purpose of these stated Rooms is for the Authority’s obligation to perform tool calibration and maintenance on Authority owned tooling and equipment that resides in Tenant’s activated Bay areas.

 

(B)                               Tenant shall be responsible, at its cost and expense, for performing any improvements and alterations in accordance with the terms of this Lease (including without limitation Section 702(I) below), subject to Section 605(C) below.

(b)         On the date Tenant delivers Tenant’s Extension Notice to the Authority or on the date the Extension Term is to commence, there shall not be an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease (or, if a default by Tenant under any term or condition of this Lease then exists which would, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or both, constitute an Event of Default under this Lease, Tenant shall cure that default within the applicable grace or cure period provided under this Lease); and

 

(c)         This Lease Agreement shall not have been terminated during the Term or first Extension Term.

 

(2)                                 All terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease applicable to the Term (including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligations to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent, Minimum Rentals, and Percentage Rent, as well as Machine, Composite, and Interior Shop Rent), shall apply with like force and effect to any Extension Term, except where specifically inapplicable or where the context otherwise indicates, and except that the type and amount of the Rentals to be assessed by the Authority with respect to the Leased Premises during the Extension Terms shall be negotiated, in good faith, between Authority and Tenant prior to the Tenant delivering an Extension Notice.

(A) In addition to any other provisions of this Lease that expressly grant Tenant the right to terminate this Lease prior to the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall have the right, upon written notice to the Authority, to terminate this Lease upon the occurrence of either of the following events or circumstances:

 

(1)  The assumption by the United States Government or any authorized agency thereof 

 

22

 

of the operation, control, or use of the Airport and facilities, or any substantial part or parts  thereof, in a manner that substantially and adversely affects Tenant’s use of that portion of the Leased Premises which Tenant is then Occupying for a period of at least ninety (90) consecutive days.

 

(2)  The issuance by any court of competent jurisdiction of an injunction in any way preventing or restraining the use of the Airport, so as to substantially and adversely affect Tenant’s use of that portion of the Leased Premises which Tenant is then Occupying for a period of at least ninety (90) consecutive days; provided, that the injunction is not due to Tenant’s operations at the Airport.

 

(B) In addition to any other provisions of this Lease that expressly grant the Authority the right to terminate this Lease prior to the expiration of the Term, the Authority shall have the right, upon written notice to Tenant, to terminate this Lease, if Tenant takes any action, or operates all or any portion of Tenant’s business at the Leased Premises in a manner that would result in a violation of the Tax Restrictions and jeopardize the tax-exempt status of the Bond Issues.

The sole remedy available under this Lease Agreement to the Authority for Tenant’s failure to adhere to the Tax Restrictions applicable to it shall be to so terminate this Lease Agreement.

(A) In no event shall Tenant or any of its subtenants continue to possess, occupy or use the Leased Premises beyond the expiration or sooner termination of the Term without the Authority’s written consent, which consent may be withheld in the Authority’s sole and absolute discretion.

 

(B) Tenant further agrees that upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, the Leased Premises shall be delivered to the Authority in at least as good condition as originally delivered to Tenant (provided that Hangar 5B may be returned in the condition as modified by Tenant for aircraft painting which modification occurred during the Initial Lease), reasonable wear and tear and matters covered by insurance excepted, and subject to performance by the Authority of the Authority’s maintenance, repair and replacement obligations under this Lease, including but not limited to its maintenance, repair and replacement obligations pursuant to Sections 1001 and 1002 below, and the Authority’s obligations under Article VII and Section 1702 of this Lease.

Section 504.                                        Early Termination Rights.

 

(A)  Tenant Early Termination Rights. Notwithstanding the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease at any time prior to expiration of the Term if any of the following events occur (each, a “Tenant Termination Event”):

 

(1)  If, at any time, (a) Tenant is able to demonstrate to the Authority that, despite using good faith, reasonable efforts to attract, solicit, employ and retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel, Tenant is unable to employ or retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel at the Leased Premises which, in Tenant’s determination (in Tenant’s sole discretion) (i) meet Tenant’s hiring qualifications, or (ii) can be employed or retained at a cost that would allow Tenant to operate Tenant’s Business at the Leased Premises within Tenant’s projected profit margins for the Leased Premises; provided, however, that before Tenant exercises its termination right as a result of this Tenant Termination Event, Tenant shall first provide the Authority (if the Authority so desires) with a period of at least ninety (90) days after Tenant satisfies subsection (a) above, in which to assist Tenant with attracting, employing and retaining a sufficient number of qualified personnel which (in Tenant’s sole discretion) satisfy the requirements of subsections (a)(i) and (ii) above, and if, during that ninety (90) day period, Tenant is able to employ and retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel at the Leased Premises who satisfy the requirements under (a)(i) and (ii) above, Tenant may not proceed with exercising its termination right under this subsection (1) in that instance.

 

(2)  Unless Tenant has elected to not exercise its Right of First Refusal as defined in Section 401, if at any time the Authority leases any space at the Facilities to another Person who is a direct competitor of Tenant in the business of providing maintenance, repair, or overhaul for aircraft (provided, however, that Tenant hereby acknowledges that a commercial airline or a Governmental Entity will not be deemed to be a “direct competitor” of Tenant even if the airline or the Governmental Entity engages in maintenance, repair, and/or overhaul activities).

 

(3)  If at any time, starting in the Tenant Fiscal Year beginning June 1, 2005, Tenant’s annual Operating Profit with respect to the Leased Premises is negative for any two (2) consecutive Tenant Fiscal Years.

 

(4)  If, at any time, Tenant’s average Employee costs for Tenant’s Business at the Leased Premises increase in any quarter of a Tenant Fiscal Year in excess of three percent (3%) of the average Employee costs for the same Employees for the immediately prior quarter, or Tenant experiences workplace disruptions which result in suspension of or a material reduction in Employee productivity as demonstrated to the Authority by Tenant.

 

If any of the foregoing Tenant Termination Events occurs, the Tenant may notify the Authority in writing that Tenant elects to terminate this Lease Agreement.  With respect to the Tenant Termination Events described in subsections (A)(2) and (A)(3) above, if Tenant desires to exercise its right to terminate this Lease pursuant to the circumstances described in either subsection (A)(2) or subsection (A)(3), respectively, Tenant must provide the Authority with Tenant’s written notice of intent to terminate within the following timeframes: (a) if termination is pursuant to subsection (A)(2) above, Tenant must provide the Authority with Tenant’s written notice of intent to terminate this Lease not later than six (6) months after the Authority enters into the lease with the other Person; and (b) if termination

 

24

 

is pursuant to subsection (A)(3) above, Tenant must provide the Authority with Tenant’s written notice of intent to terminate this Lease not later than six (6) months after the second of the two (2) such consecutive Tenant Fiscal Years for which Tenant’s annual Operating Profit was negative. With respect to the Tenant Termination Event described in subsection (A)(3) above, Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Authority shall be entitled to verify, by process of audit pursuant to Section 601(C)(3) below, Tenant’s Operating Profit and Gross Sales in order to verify that this Tenant Termination Event has in fact been satisfied. The termination shall be effective on the earlier of (y) the first anniversary of the date of delivery to the Authority of Tenant’s termination notice, and (z) the expiration date of the term (not including unexercised renewal or extension options or periods) of Tenant’s then-longest third party maintenance agreement with its customers. For purposes of this subsection (A), Tenant’s “third party maintenance agreements with its customers” mean only those of Tenant’s third party maintenance agreements with its customers that are in effect on the date when the Tenant provides the Authority with Tenant’s written notice of termination pursuant to this Section 504(A). At the time Tenant provides the Authority with Tenant’s written notice of Tenant’s intent to terminate pursuant to this Section 504(A), Tenant will provide a written, sworn certification to the Authority from Tenant’s Controller which states the expiration dates of Tenant’s third party maintenance agreements with its customers and the Authority shall have the right to verify the information set forth in Tenant’s sworn certification (including, without limitation, the right to review copies of the Tenant’s third party maintenance agreements). If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 504(A), Tenant shall remain liable for all Rental that has accrued for periods prior to the effective date of the termination of this Lease, and for other liabilities and obligations of Tenant (including without limitation Tenant’s obligations and liabilities under Section 705 and Section 1701 of this Lease) that have accrued for periods prior to the effective date of the termination of this Lease, but shall not be liable for any Rentals that would otherwise have accrued for periods after the effective date of the termination of this Lease and shall not be obligated to repay the Grants, the Credits, or the Improvement Rent Credits.

 

(B)                               Machine Shop and Composite Shop Early Termination Rights.  Notwithstanding the terms of subsection (A) above, Tenant shall have an early termination right with respect to the Machine Shop and Composite Shop, in whole, from and after December 1, 2017.  To exercise said early termination right to the Machine Shop and Composite Shop, Tenant shall provide Authority one hundred and eighty (180) days prior written notice with respect to the termination date.  Should Tenant exercise this early termination right, on or after December 1, 2017, Tenant shall be required to return the entire Machine Shop and Composite Shop space along with all Equipment residing in the space as noted on the Master Equipment List to Authority on such termination date.

 

(C)                               Interior Shop Early Termination Rights.  Notwithstanding the terms of subsections (A) and (B) above, Tenant shall have an early termination right with respect to the Interior Shop from and after December 1, 2017.  Annually on the anniversary date of the Term (December 1st of each year), Tenant shall have the option to terminate its right to the Interior Shop.  Tenant shall provide Authority written notice at least ninety (90) days in advance of such anniversary date, of Tenant’s exercising its right to terminate the Interior Shop space.  Should Tenant exercise this early termination right, Tenant shall be required to return the entire Interior Shop space along with all Equipment residing in the space as noted on the Master Equipment List by such anniversary date.  In addition, should Tenant exercise the early termination right with respect to the Interior Shop, Tenant agrees to pay a penalty based on the following scale, which scale is dependent on which year Tenant exercises such right.  By way of example, if Tenant were to exercise the early termination right to the Interior Shop on December 1, 2019, Tenant would pay a penalty of $141,645.00 to the Authority for such termination.

ARTICLE VI.

 

RENTALS, FEES AND RECORDS

 

Section 601.                                      Rental.

 

(A)  Base Rent.

 

(1)                                 Subject to Sections 601(D) and 605(B)below, Tenant will pay the Authority, in arrears, on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month, base rent (“Base Rent”) with respect to the Leased Premises for the preceding calendar month.  Subject to Section 601(A)(3) below, the Base Rent that is assessed by the Authority for a particular calendar month will be calculated solely on basis of the square footage of the Leased Premises that Tenant Occupied during that calendar month for the number of days such space was Occupied.  The annual Base Rent rate for the Leased Premises during the Term will be Two Dollars and NO/100 ($2.00) per square foot.

 

By way of example only, if Tenant Occupies 100,000 square feet of the Leased Premises during a particular calendar month, Tenant will (subject to Sections 601(D) and 605(B) below) pay the Authority Base Rent for that calendar month in the amount of $16,666.67 (i.e., 100,000 square feet x $2.00 per square foot per annum /12 months).

 

(2)                                 As it relates to Activation and subsequent de-Occupancy of Leased Premises, if Tenant Occupies a particular portion of the Leased Premises during less than all of a calendar month, Tenant shall pay a prorated portion of the Rental for that calendar month based on the number of days Tenant Occupies that portion of the Leased Premises.

 

(3)                                 Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, however, and regardless of which (if any) portions of the Leased Premises that Tenant elects to Activate and regardless of which (if any) portions of the Leased Premises that Tenant is Occupying or using from time to time, Tenant (1) shall be obligated to pay Rentals on the Minimum Leased Premises (“Minimum Rentals”).

 

(4)                                 The Base Rent for the Extension Term shall be negotiated between the Authority and Tenant as provided in Section 501(B) above.

 

(B)   Additional Rent.

 

(1)                                 Subject to the other provisions of this Section 601(B) and (D) and Section 605(B)  of this Lease, in consideration for the Authority’s operations and maintenance obligations under this Lease with respect to the Facilities, including providing Utilities and performance of those obligations set forth in Articles X and XI of this Lease, Tenant will pay the Authority monthly additional rent (“Additional Rent”), in arrears, on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month for the prior calendar month.  Subject to Section 601(B)(2-6) below, the Additional Rent that is assessed by the Authority for a particular calendar month will be calculated solely on basis of the square footage of the Leased Premises that was Occupied by Tenant during that calendar month.  The annual Additional Rent rate for the Leased Premises during the Term will be Six Dollars and 20/100 ($6.20) per square foot.

 

27

 

(2)                                 Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year during the Term, the Authority shall provide Tenant with a statement showing the actual costs and expenses incurred by the Authority in owning, operating, insuring, maintaining, repairing, and replacing the Land, the Facilities, the Facilities Systems and the Equipment (the “Actual Facilities Costs and Expenses”), and, to the extent reasonably requested by Tenant, will provide Tenant with supporting data therefor.  The annual calculation of the Actual Facilities Costs and Expenses will be calculated utilizing GAAP accrual basis financial statements of the Authority including amortization of any capital expenditure that brings about operating expense savings.  In the event that the Actual Facilities Costs and Expenses of the total Facilities, for that calendar year, are less than Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00), Tenant shall be entitled to a credit from the Authority against future Rental that would otherwise be payable by Tenant under this Lease, which credit shall be in an amount calculated and applied as follows:

 

(a)                                 The amount by which the Actual Facilities Costs and Expenses of the total Facilities is less than Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00) shall be divided by the total number of square feet of the Facility (the “Savings Per Square Foot”).

 

(b)                                 The Savings Per Square Foot shall be multiplied times eighty five percent (85%) (the “Tenant’s Share of Savings”).

 

(c)                                  The Tenant’s Share of Savings shall be applied evenly to each monthly Rentals payment due over the remainder of the calendar year. (i.e. If the Savings Per Square Foot is determined during March of any year, the Tenant’s Share of Savings shall be applied to reduce Tenant’s Rentals due in such month by 1/9th of such Tenant’s Share of Savings, each month from April through December.

 

(d)                                 The Monthly Tenant’s Share of Savings shall only be applied to any amount due in such month and shall not carry forward if the Rentals due in such month are less than the monthly share of Tenant’s Share of Savings.

 

(3)                                 The Additional Rent for the Extension Term shall be negotiated between the Authority and Tenant as provided in Section 501(B) above.

 

(4)                                 Notwithstanding subsection (B)(1) above, Tenant will not be charged any Additional Rent with respect to the Hangar 4 Office Space (as defined in Exhibit B) at any time during the Term.

 

(5)                                 As it relates to Occupancy and subsequent de-Occupancy of Bays, if Tenant Occupies a particular portion of the Bays during less than all of a calendar month, Tenant shall be assessed a pro rata portion of the Additional Rent based on the number of days Tenant Occupies that portion of the Leased Premises during that calendar month.

 

(6)                                 As provided for in Section 207 of this Lease, Tenant shall have access to one On-Call Hangar Bay.  Authority and Tenant agree an Annual Rental of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) shall be paid by Tenant, during April of each year of Term, for the right of having an On-Call Hangar Bay.  Authority and Tenant agree additional rental of One Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty Dollars ($1,680.00) per day will be charged for use of the On-Call Hangar Bay.  Tenant agrees to report On-Call Hangar Bay usage and payment on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month for the previous month’s use of the On-Call Hangar Bay.

 

28

 

(C)                               Percentage Rent

 

(1)                                 If during the Term, Tenant’s annual Operating Profit (expressed as a percentage of Gross Sales) is greater than nine and 25/100 percent (9.25%) of Gross Sales at the end of a Tenant Fiscal Year, then Tenant shall pay to Authority a percentage rent (the “Percentage Rent”) for that Tenant Fiscal Year in an amount that is equal to thirty-three percent (33%) of the amount by which Tenant’s annual Operating Profit for that Tenant Fiscal Year exceeds nine and 25/100 percent (9.25%) of Tenant’s Gross Sales for that Tenant Fiscal Year.  By way of example, if at the end of a Tenant Fiscal Year, Tenant had Gross Sales of $99,000,000 and an annual Operating Profit of $11,880,000, then Tenant’s annual Operating Profit would equal twelve percent (12%) of its Gross Sales (i.e., $11,880,000 / $99,000,000).  9.25% of $99,000,000 equals $9,157,500. Therefore, for this Tenant Fiscal Year, Tenant would pay the Authority $898,425 (i.e., .33 x ($11,880,000 – $9,157,500)). If Tenant had Gross Sales of $100,000,000 for a Tenant Fiscal Year and an annual Operating Profit of $9,000,000 for that Tenant Fiscal Year, then Tenant’s annual Operating Profit for that Tenant Fiscal Year would equal nine percent (9%) of its Gross Sales (i.e., $9,000,000 / $100,000,000) and as a result, no Percentage Rent would be due the Authority for that Tenant Fiscal Year.

 

(2)                                 Tenant will calculate and submit its Operating Profit in full detail following the illustrative model provided in Exhibit J hereto, showing Gross Profit and Operating Profit calculated as discussed below and including a complete accounting of all expense categories, an actual to budget reconciliation (where budgeted amounts were assumed rather than actuals), and provide quarterly market rates used in the purchase of materials from affiliate companies, on a cumulative basis at the end of each fiscal quarter (August 31, November 30, February 28/29, and May 31) (each, a “Period”) for the applicable Tenant Fiscal Year, and will make interim Percentage Rent payments, if any are due, within sixty (60) days after the end of the applicable fiscal Period.  Not later than ninety (90) days after the end of each of the Tenant Fiscal Years (i.e., not later than August 31 of each year), Tenant will calculate the cumulative Operating Profit of Tenant for each such Tenant Fiscal Year, and likewise calculate the Percentage Rent that should have been paid to the Authority for each such Tenant Fiscal Year, and reconcile it to the interim Percentage Rent payments actually made to the Authority during that Tenant Fiscal Year with respect to each of the Periods during that Tenant Fiscal Year.  If the Percentage Rent that should have been assessed against Tenant for the Tenant Fiscal Year exceeds what Tenant has actually paid to the Authority for that Tenant Fiscal Year, then Tenant shall pay the Authority the difference within ninety (90) days after the end of that Tenant Fiscal Year.  If the Percentage Rent that should have been assessed against Tenant for that Tenant Fiscal Year is less than what Tenant has actually paid to the Authority for that Tenant Fiscal Year, then the Authority shall credit the difference against Tenant’s obligations to pay Rental under this Lease with respect to the Tenant Fiscal Year(s) following the Tenant Fiscal Year for which Tenant overpaid Percentage Rent. The Authority shall refund in cash to Tenant any unused credits that have accrued, but have not been applied to Rental, under this subsection (C)(2) at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.  Each such payment that is due and payable by Tenant shall be accompanied by a certificate signed and sworn by the Tenant’s Controller, setting forth the Operating Profit and Gross Sales during such Period (the “Percentage Rent Certificate”).  In the event of a partial Period at the beginning or end of the Term, the Percentage Rent payable for that partial Period shall be based upon the Gross Sales and Operating Profit during that partial Period.

 

(3)                                 Tenant shall keep in the Leased Premises full, accurate, true and complete records of all Gross Sales and Operating Profit with respect to the Leased Premises.  Such records shall

 

29

 

be retained by the Tenant for not fewer than five (5) years after the expiration of the Tenant Fiscal Year to which they relate, and such records shall be kept in accordance with Exhibit J and generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that are applied consistently with respect to the Leased Premises from Period to Period. For purposes of permitting verification by the Authority of the Gross Sales and Operating Profit reported by the Tenant with respect to the Leased Premises, the Authority or its agent shall have the right for a period of up to five (5) years after the end of each Tenant Fiscal Year, upon not fewer than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Tenant, to inspect, audit or cause to be audited Tenant’s books and records relating to Gross Sales and Operating Profit for the Tenant Fiscal Year in question.  If such inspection or audit discloses that Tenant has underpaid any Percentage Rent due under this Lease, and if Tenant does not in good faith dispute the findings of the audit or inspection, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days of the findings remit the amount of the underpayment to the Authority, together with interest thereon from the date such amount was originally due and owing to the Authority hereunder, at the rate specified in Section 604 below.  If such inspection or audit discloses that Tenant has overpaid any Percentage Rent due hereunder, and if the Authority does not in good faith dispute the findings of the audit or inspection, the Authority shall within thirty (30) days of the findings remit the amount of the overpayment to Tenant.  If the inspection or audit discloses that Tenant underpaid any Percentage Rent, Tenant shall also reimburse the Authority, a reasonable hourly rate, for the time incurred by the Authority’s personnel in conducting the audit or inspection, plus their actual expenses in conducting the audit or inspection; provided, however, that the total amount for which Tenant would be obligated to reimburse the Authority under this sentence shall not, itself, exceed an amount that is equal to the amount of the underpayment.

 

“Gross Sales” shall mean, for a particular Period, the aggregate amount, expressed in U.S. Dollars, of all goods and services sold or otherwise provided by Tenant at, from or with respect to the Leased Premises during that Period and recorded on the books of Tenant in accordance with GAAP.  “Gross Sales” shall also include all goods and services sold from or provided at other locations of Tenant and/or its Affiliates with respect to customer orders and/or contracts generated or invoiced at, from or with respect to the Leased Premises; and “Gross Sales” shall also include goods and services intentionally diverted away from the Leased Premises to other locations of Tenant and/or its Affiliates to avoid including those sales in Gross Sales. However, Gross Sales shall not include goods and services diverted to other locations of Tenant and/or its Affiliates if such diversion was done for a legitimate, good faith business reason and which diversion would have occurred even in the absence of a Percentage Rent obligation and not to avoid including those sales in Gross Sales, including, but not limited to the sale of goods and services performed at another location due to a customer request, workplace disruptions, aircraft scheduling conflicts, aircraft emergencies, or weather. Discounts, price reductions, rebates and other similar arrangements by Tenants or its Affiliates shall not be granted in a manner that would serve to intentionally deflect revenues to another facility of Tenant or any of its Affiliates so as to artificially reduce Gross Sales. In the event any goods or services are provided by Tenant to any Affiliate of Tenant on any basis that is less than the fair market value thereof, the fair market value thereof shall be deemed to have been received by Tenant for those goods or services for purposes of calculating Gross Sales. To the extent any charges imposed by Tenant or any Affiliate for goods and services that are to be included in “Gross Sales” shall be in amounts less than what is required by the preceding sentences, Gross Sales shall be increased so as to equal the amount that Tenant or its Affiliate would have received had it imposed charges in accordance with the preceding sentences. “Gross Sales” shall not include goods and services sold from or provided at other locations including those of Tenant and/or its Affiliates with respect to

 

30

 

customer orders and/or contracts generated at, from, or with respect to the Leased Premises when such goods and services are provided at such locations as a result of a Casualty at the Leased Premises (other than a Casualty that results from the fault or negligence of Tenant, its subtenants, or any of their respective Employees, agents, contractors or Invitees) that prevents them from being provided at the Leased Premises, the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 502(A), or an interruption under Section 1102 which is caused by the Authority and which prevents those goods and services from being provided at the Leased Premises.

 

“Operating Profit” for a particular Period shall be expressed as a percentage of Gross Sales and shall mean, for a particular Period, Gross Sales for that Period less expenses directly related to Tenant’s operations at the Leased Premises for that Period, as calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Group/Corporate Expenses allocated to Tenant shall also be deducted from Gross Sales for purposes of Operating Profit.  No intercompany fees relative to any members of the Group, to Tenant’s Parent (as hereinafter defined), or to any Affiliate of Tenant or its Parent, shall be included as expenses of Tenant’s operations at the Leased Premises except as contemplated by the definition of “Group/Corporate Expenses” set forth below.  The expenses for the Leased Premises shall be reduced by the amount of any grants, if applicable, Success Payments or credits provided to Tenant by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Leased Premises during that particular Period, and shall also be reduced by the amount of any and all Rental credits that are provided to Tenant under this Lease during that particular Period. For purposes of this provision, “Group” means the subset of organizational companies, within the Parent company organization, in which Tenant belongs. “Group/Corporate Expenses” means the following, all of which must be verifiable by the Authority (a particular item of Group/Corporate Expense may only be deducted pursuant to one of the following categories (i.e., a particular item of Group/Corporate Expense may not be deducted more than once for purposes of calculating Operating Profit)):

 

(a)               Production Materials and Labor from Sister Companies: The actual cost and expenses incurred by Tenant in procuring production materials and labor from a “sister company” (i.e., an Entity that is directly or indirectly owned, in whole or in part, by Tenant’s Parent) for purposes of Tenant’s providing goods and services to Tenant’s customers at, from or with respect to the Leased Premises.  The price charged by Tenant’s sister companies to Tenant shall be at not more than normal and customary market rates consistent with an arm’s length transaction.

 

(b)               Group Overhead Allocation: Allocation of general Group overhead costs and expenses, which shall consist of Tenant’s proportionate share of all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, salaries, benefits, travel and living expenses, supplies, and educational costs) reasonably incurred that are associated with the operation of the Group, in general, and are not specifically allocable to any particular division or Entity within the Group (the “Group Overhead”).  Such costs and expenses may include, by way of example, costs and expenses generally incurred by the Group, as a whole, for the following: business development, operations, finance, and sales. Tenant’s proportionate share of Group Overhead, for a particular period, shall be a percentage equal to Tenant’s Gross Sales for that period divided by the gross sales of the entire Group.  Tenant’s proportionate share of Group Overhead shall not exceed for any Tenant Fiscal Year, the amount of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) per Tenant Fiscal Year, for purposes of calculating Operating Profit for that Tenant Fiscal Year.

 

31

 

(c)                Corporate Overhead Allocation: Allocation to Tenant, as described in this subsection (c), of Tenant’s proportionate share of the corporate overhead costs and expenses of Tenant’s Parent, reasonably incurred in connection with the operation of the Parent and those subsidiaries which Parent (directly or indirectly) wholly owns, including those for insurance premiums, banking services, routine financial statement audits, tax preparation services, benefits administration, pension administration, payroll administration, accounts payable administration, routine compliance procedures under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 15 U.S.C. 7201 et seq., and routine treasury-related administrative activities with respect to the receipt, custody and disbursement of funds (the “Corporate Overhead”). Tenant’s proportionate share of Corporate Overhead, for a particular Period, shall be as allocated pursuant to the Parent’s “General Guidelines for Corporate Expense Allocation” (as Parent may amend from time to time), provided that the Parent’s “General Guidelines for Corporate Expense Allocation” are applicable on a consistent basis to all of Parent’s operating units and subsidiaries (the “Corporate Overhead Allocation Guidelines”). The amount of Tenant’s share of Corporate Overhead which may be deducted for purposes of calculating Operating Profit for a particular Period shall be no greater than an amount that is proportionate to the ratio that Tenant’s Gross Sales for that Period bear to Parent’s entire gross sales from all of Parent’s operations (whether at the Leased Premises or at other Parent locations) for that Period. Tenant’s Percentage Rent Certificate for each Period shall include a certificate, signed and sworn to by the Parent’s Chief Financial Officer, certifying to the Authority that the Corporate Overhead Allocation Guidelines are applied on a consistent basis with respect to all of Parent’s operating units and subsidiaries and that the allocation to Tenant of its share of the Corporate Overhead for that Period has been made in accordance with the then-applicable Corporate Overhead Allocation Guidelines.  The Authority shall have the right, as part of any audit performed by the Authority as described above in this subsection (C)(3), to audit the Parent’s books and records relevant to the Corporate Overhead Allocation in order to verify (i) that the Corporate Overhead Allocation Guidelines that were used to calculate Tenant’s share of Corporate Overhead were in fact applied on a consistent basis to all of the Parent’s operating units and subsidiaries and (ii) that the calculation of Tenant’s share of Corporate Overhead pursuant to the Corporate Overhead Allocation Guidelines was correctly calculated.  The Parent shall retain its books and records pertaining to Corporate Overhead and allocations thereof for not fewer than five (5) years after the expiration of each Tenant Fiscal Year for which Tenant is allocated any portion of Corporate Overhead.

 

(d)               Corporate Direct Charges: Charges reasonably assessed to Tenant, for time and actual materials costs incurred by employees at the Parent’s headquarters in providing support services (including, without limitation, legal support, systems programming or direct support hardware, environmental support, and human resources support) directly to and for the benefit of Tenant with respect to Tenant’s operations at the Leased Premises.  Such charges shall not include any “profit” component, and shall be in amounts and at rates that are commercially reasonable and not in excess of what would reasonably be charged to Tenant if Tenant were to obtain such services from a service provider unaffiliated with Tenant.

 

(e)                Systems Allocation:  Actual, reasonable costs and expenses for the Parent’s maintaining systems that are shared generally by members of the Group, such as a corporate email system, security systems, and similar types of systems.  These costs and

 

32

 

expenses are to be allocated equally, by division, across the Parent company organization (the Group constituting one of those divisions), with each division being charged an amount equal to the amount charged to each other division in the Parent company organization.  Tenant’s share of those costs and expenses shall be equal to the share of those costs and expenses that are borne by other member companies in the Group.

 

Capital charges and income taxes are not to be deducted from Gross Sales in determining Operating Profit.  The cost of goods and services received by Tenant from its Affiliates and from other Persons must not exceed what Tenant would reasonably be required to pay in an arm’s-length transaction. Allocation to Tenant by its vendors, suppliers, and contractors of costs, expenses, fees, charges, rebates, credits, allowances, price reductions and other such items must be done in a manner that will not (a) allocate to Tenant more than Tenant’s rightful share of the costs, expenses, fees, charges and other such items, and (b) allocate to parties other than Tenant more than their rightful share of any rebates, credits, allowances, price reductions and other such items.

 

Attached hereto as Exhibit J is an illustrative model indicating how Tenant may calculate Gross Sales and Operating Profit, which model may be subject to modification in accordance with GAAP.

 

(D)                               Machine Shop, Composite Shop and Interior Shop Rental Structure

 

(1)                                 Authority and Tenant, in lieu of a Base Rent / Additional Rent rental structure as stated in this ARTICLE VI , Section 601 (A) (B), agree to a rental structure for the Machine Shop, Composite Shop, and Interior Shop based on sub-section 2 and sub-section 3 below.

 

(2)                                 Machine Shop, Composite Shop, and Interior Shops Rental Structure.  Tenant will pay the Authority, in arrears, on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month, rent with respect to the Leased Premises (machine, composite and interior shops) for the preceding calendar month.  The rent shall be paid in equal monthly installments as stated in the following schedule:

(3)                                 Machine Shop and Composite Shop Percentage Rent.  Tenant shall pay to Authority as additional rent, a percentage rental of Tenant’s Operating Profit derived collectively from the Machine Shop and Composite Shop operations (the “Machine and Composite Shop Percentage Rent”).  Tenant shall calculate, report and pay to the Authority on the same basis and methodology as Percentage Rent is calculated in sub-section (C) above except that the percentage rental, if any, shall be in accordance with the following calculation:

 

(a)      To the extent Tenant’s Operating Profit (expressed as a percentage of Gross Sales) derived collectively from the Machine Shop and Composite Shop, exceeds ten percent (10%) of Gross Sales derived collectively from the Machine Shop and Composite Shop, then in such event Authority shall receive an amount equal to

 

33

 

eleven percent (11%) of the incremental amount of Operating Profit that is above ten percent (10%) and less than twelve percent (12%).

 

(b)      To the extent Tenant’s Operating Profit (expressed as a percentage of Gross Sales) derived collectively from the Machine Shop and Composite Shop exceeds twelve percent (12%) of Gross Sales derived collectively from the Machine Shop and Composite Shop, Authority shall receive an amount equal to twenty two percent (22%) of the incremental amount of Operating Profit that is above twelve percent (12%) and less than fourteen percent (14%).

 

(c)      To the extent Tenant’s Operating Profit (expressed as a percentage of Gross Sales) derived collectively from the Machine Shop and Composite Shop exceeds fourteen percent (14%) of Gross Sales derived collectively from the Machine Shop and Composite Shop, Authority shall receive an amount equal to thirty three percent (33%) of the incremental amount of Operating Profit that is above fourteen percent (14%).

 

(d)      Example:  in the event Tenant’s Gross Sales derived collectively from the Machine Shop and Composite Shop equals $10,000,000.00 and the Operating Profit equaled $1,600,000.00, Tenants Operating Profit percentage would equal sixteen percent (16%). i.e. 1,600,000/10,000,000 x 100%.  In this event the Authority shall receive percentage rent calculated as follows:

 

·                  $22,000 calculated as 11% of $200,000 (12% of 10,000,000 minus 10% of 10,000,000),

 

·                  $44,000 calculated as 22% of $200,000 (14% of 10,000,000 minus 12% of 10,000,000), and

 

·                  $66,000 calculated as 33% of $200,000 (1,600,000 minus 14% of 10,000,000), for a total percentage rent equal to:  $132,000.

 

Section 602.                             Field Use Charge. This Lease Agreement does not and shall not be deemed to grant Tenant the right to use any aircraft parking apron (except as may be designated from time to time by the Facilities Manager to Tenant or except as contemplated by Section703(B) below) or taxiway not on the Leased Premises. Any use of aircraft operational areas outside of the Leased Premises, or other Airport property not included in the Leased Premises, by Tenant, its Employees or its agents shall be by separate agreement and only upon payments of appropriate fees. Nothing in this Section, however, shall prohibit Tenant, its Employees or its agents from the joint use with others at the Airport of interior and exterior roadways serving the Leased Premises as granted herein and in accordance with Airport rules, regulations and/or restrictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authority covenants and agrees that Tenant and its customers will not be charged any landing fees by any Governmental Entity with respect to aircraft landing at the Land for maintenance, repair, or overhaul at the Leased Premises, and that Tenant’s customers (when and to the extent they are taking off from and landing at the Airport in connection with the maintenance, repair and overhaul services they are receiving at the Leased Premises) will be entitled to use and access to the Airport on terms no less favorable than the Authority gives to other users of the Airport.

 

Section 603. Time and Place of Payments. The Rental due under Section 601 hereof shall be

 

34

 

payable to the Authority, at the office of the Airport Director at the address set forth in Section 2208 hereof.

 

Section 604. Delinquent Rentals. If Tenant does not pay the Rental described in Section 601 hereof on the due date thereof, Tenant shall pay to the Authority, as additional rental, an interest charge of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, applied against the delinquent amount due for each full calendar month of delinquency, computed as simple interest. Such interest shall be computed from the due date until the delinquent payment, together with accrued interest, is paid in full.

 

Section 605.                                              Authority Incentives.

 

(A)                                          As an incentive for entering into this Lease Agreement, Tenant, on the Commencement Date, shall be entitled to receive a payment of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) from the Authority and on the one year anniversary date of the Commencement Date, the Tenant shall be entitled to another Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00).  At Authority’s option, the form of the two payments of this incentive can be made as rental credit.

 

(B)                                          Leasehold Improvement Credits.

 

(1)  Authority will provide Tenant with credits to be applied against Tenant’s Rental in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the cost and expense paid by Tenant for infrastructure-related improvements (“Leased Premises Improvements”) that the Authority approves and that Tenant makes to the Leased Premises (the “Improvement Rent Credits”), provided that Tenant satisfies the procedures set forth in subsection (2) below. Improvement Rent Credits earned hereunder will be applied as and when the Rentals next become due and payable by Tenant under this Lease, subject to subsection (4) below.

 

(2)    In order for Tenant to obtain from the Authority the Improvement Rent Credits, the following must occur:

 

(a)  Prior to commencing any purchasing or other activities related to the Leased Premises Improvements, Tenant must obtain the Authority’s prior written approval of the proposed Leased Premises Improvements.

 

(b)  Tenant must submit to the Authority, prior to commencing the Leased Premises Improvements, a complete and detailed set of plans and specifications, prepared by an architect or engineer reasonably acceptable to the Authority, detailing those proposed Leased Premises Improvements, which plans and specifications must be reasonably acceptable to the Authority (the plans and specifications approved by the Authority being referred to herein as the “Plans”). Tenant shall perform and complete the Leased Premises Improvements in strict accordance with Plans. Tenant shall be responsible for ensuring that the Plans satisfy and comply with all applicable federal, state, county or other governmental Laws, and the Authority shall have no responsibility or liability therefor.

 

(c)  Tenant shall be responsible, at its cost and expense, for constructing the Leased Premises Improvements and performing all work relating thereto including, without limitation, paying fees, space planning, construction drawing services, obtaining all Improvement-Related Permits, and furnishing all labor and materials necessary or appropriate to complete the Leased Premises Improvements, and the Authority shall have no responsibility or liability therefor. The

 

35

 

contractors and subcontractors used by Tenant shall be reasonably acceptable to the Authority, and Tenant shall furnish a list of their names and copies of the applicable contracts and subcontracts upon request by the Authority.

 

(d)  Prior to performing the Leased Premises Improvements, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain all “Improvement-Related Permits”. Prior to performing the Leased Premises Improvements, Tenant shall deliver to the Authority: (i) copies of the Improvement-Related Permits; and (ii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Authority that Tenant has procured or has caused others to procure workers’ compensation, general liability, builder’s risk, and personal and property damage insurance in amounts reasonably satisfactory to the Authority, and naming the Authority as additional insured and loss payee.

 

(e)  Tenant shall, and shall cause its contractors and subcontractors to, perform the Leased Premises Improvements: (i) in accordance with the Plans and Permits; and (ii) in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable federal, state, county or other governmental Laws, including, without limitation, zoning ordinances and The American With Disabilities Act, as amended, and the rules, regulations, guidelines, and orders promulgated or entered thereunder.  Tenant also shall cause its contractors and subcontractors to, observe, perform and comply with all Laws promulgated from time to time by any applicable Governmental Entity, and complete Leased Premises Improvements free of all mechanics’ and materialmens’ liens.  Tenant shall keep the Authority advised of the status of construction and completion of the Leased Premises Improvements and of the anticipated completion dates for the Leased Premises Improvements.

 

(f)  Upon completion of the Leased Premises Improvements, Tenant shall deliver to the Authority final, unconditional lien waivers from all contractors, subcontractors, and materialmen performing labor or supplying materials or services in connection with the Leased Premises Improvements; a Certificate of Substantial Completion issued by Tenant’s project architect on the appropriate AIA form (or in any other form as reasonably required by the Authority), certifying to the Authority that the Leased Premises Improvements have been completed in accordance with the Plans and Permits and all applicable Laws; and an “as-built” set of drawings of the Leased Premises Improvements. The Authority must be reasonably satisfied that the Leased Premises Improvements have been fully completed, and have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the Plans, Permits and applicable Law.

 

(g)  Tenant shall submit to the Authority a written statement, which statement shall contain a certification by Tenant as to the cost and expenses paid by Tenant for those Leased Premises Improvements, and which statement shall contain a detailed breakdown (together with such supporting data as the Authority shall request) with respect thereto. Provided that the foregoing provisions of subsection (2) have been satisfied, Tenant shall be entitled to the Improvement Rent Credits as described in subsection (4) below.

 

(3) If Tenant receives Improvement Rent Credits with respect to Leased Premises Improvement project in accordance with this subsection (B), Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the entire Leased Premises Improvement project, in its entirety, will become the property of the Authority; provided, however, such Leased Premises Improvement project will be part of the Leased Premises for Tenant’s use under the terms of this Lease.

 

36

 

(4) An amount equal to one forty-eighth (1/48) of the total amount of any Improvement Rent Credit to which Tenant becomes entitled, as described above, with respect to a particular Leased Premises Improvement project may thereafter be applied toward each month’s Rental that thereafter is assessed against and owing from Tenant with respect to the Leased Premises in any given month. However, not more than one forty-eighth (1/48) of that particular Improvement Rent Credit may be applied toward Rental during any calendar month. Tenant may “bank” any earned but unapplied Improvement Rent Credits toward future Rental obligations, subject to the preceding sentence.

 

(5) Tenant shall have no right to any Improvement Rent Credits that remain unapplied as of the expiration or sooner termination of the Term of this Lease. Tenant shall not be obligated to repay any Improvement Rent Credits to the Authority upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term of this Lease.

 

(6) Notwithstanding the forgoing, Authority and Tenant agree that due to the modernization of aircraft, the docking structures located in the interior of Hangar Bays 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B and 3A, may create a degree of difficulty in locating certain types of aircraft into these stated Hangar Bays; therefore, Authority and Tenant agree to a modified rental credit structure for the benefit of Tenant in the event Tenant elects to disassemble one or more of the aircraft docking stations in the interior of Hangar Bays 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B and 3A as follows:

 

(a)                            Authority hereby approves that Tenant may remove the docking stations in Bays 1A through 3A at its sole discretion; however, Tenant shall remain obligated to obtain required, necessary or other approvals for the project; and

 

(b)                            If Tenant elects to disassemble the docking stations in Bays 1A through 3A, Authority agrees to provide Tenant a credit against Rentals due in the amount of up to fifty percent (50%) of the costs of removing each docking station up to Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000.00) per Bay and a maximum of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) total for all five Bays; and

 

(c)                             Authority agrees to provide the first Six Hundred Thousand Dollar ($600,000.00) credit on the Commencement Date of the Lease prior to the removal of the first docking station from such Hangar Bays; however, Tenant is obligated to complete the removal of the first docking station by May 31, 2016.  This $600,000 rental credit shall be applied on a monthly basis over an eighteen (18) month period.

 

(d)                            Authority, at the commencement of the removal of each subsequent docking station (of the second, third, fourth and fifth Hangar Bays), agrees to provide a credit against Rentals due for the subsequent Hangar Bays applied on a monthly basis over a thirty-six (36) month period.  Authority and Tenant agree that, prior to the application of additional rental credits beyond the first Hangar Bay, Tenant shall have provided to the Authority certified construction costs and as-built drawings for the proceeding Hangar Bay(s).  Authority acknowledges that Tenant may elect to initially remove two Hangar Bays at the same time and agrees to issue rental credits for both Hangar Bays at the commencement of the removal of each of the particular two docking stations.  Should any docking station removal project cease demolition or is unreasonably delayed, the rental credits for the particular Hangar Bay will temporarily stop until such time as the docking station removal resumes.

 

37

 

(7)  In no event shall more than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) of credits described in this subsection (B) be applied to reduce Rentals due in any calendar year; however, such credits over Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) may be carried over into subsequent years; provided, however, that any credits remaining unapplied at the termination of this Lease shall be forfeited in their entirety by Tenant and will not be paid, in any way, by the Authority.

Section 701.  Payment of Rental and Other Amounts.  Tenant hereby agrees and covenants to pay or provide for the payment of all Rental described in Article VI as and when due hereunder.

Section 702.  Operation and Use of Leased Premises.

 

(A) Except as provided in Sections 705 and 1701, Tenant shall at its own expense (i) keep the Leased Premises in a safe, neat and attractive condition (except to the extent of any maintenance or repairs that are the express obligation of the Authority under Articles X and XI below), and (ii) not permit the accumulation of any trash, paper or debris on the Leased Premises or trash, paper or debris belonging to Tenant on any other property of the Authority.

 

(B) Tenant, upon written notice by the Authority to Tenant, shall be required to perform whatever maintenance is necessary to comply with the provisions of Subsection (A) hereof. If Tenant does not undertake that maintenance within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice, the Authority shall have the right to enter upon the Leased Premises or in the Facilities and perform the necessary maintenance, the cost of which shall be paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days after notice of the cost thereof is provided by the Authority.

 

(C) Tenant shall not abuse, misuse, or commit or allow any waste or damage to the Leased Premises and/or the other property of the Authority, including without limitation the Equipment, except for normal wear and tear. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall operate and use all Equipment only in a manner that complies with applicable manufacturer’s instructions, guidelines, and warranties.

 

(D) Tenant shall not occupy or use, or permit the use or occupation of, any portion of the Leased Premises for any business or purpose which is unlawful. Tenant shall not occupy or use, or permit the occupation or use of, any portion of the Leased Premises for any business or purpose which is disreputable or deemed to be extra-hazardous on account of fire, or do or permit anything to be done that would in any way increase the cost of the Authority’s casualty insurance coverage on the Facilities, the Leased Premises, the Equipment, or their contents; provided, however, that the Authority hereby acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to prohibit Tenant from using the Leased Premises for Tenant’s Business.

 

(E) Tenant shall not place any objects in any part of the Leased Premises that would place a load on the floors of the Leased Premises in excess of the design load capacities for the floors, without the prior written approval of the Authority. Tenant hereby acknowledges that, prior to the Initial Lease, the Authority furnished Tenant with a copy of the plans and specifications for the Leased Premises which indicate the design load capacities for the floors in the Leased Premises. The Authority shall have the right to have a floor load analysis of any part of the Leased Premises made at any time. If such analysis should indicate that Tenant has exceeded the foregoing limitations, Tenant shall promptly take such actions as may be required to eliminate the overloading condition and shall reimburse the Authority for the expense incurred in completing the analysis and for the cost and expense of any damage arising from such overloading condition.

 

(F) Tenant shall comply with all applicable Laws relating to the use, condition and/or occupancy

 

39

 

of the Leased Premises.

 

(G) Tenant shall conduct Tenant’s Business and control its subtenants (if any) and its and their respective agents, Employees, contractors and Invitees in such a manner as to not create any nuisance to the Authority or its other tenants. Tenant shall not interfere with, annoy or disturb any other tenant, or the Authority in its operation of the Facilities.

 

(H) Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall not permit its Employees, contractors, agents, or Invitees, and shall not permit Tenant’s subtenants or their Employees, contractors, agents or Invitees, to enter upon or into any areas at the Leased Premises, the Land, the Facilities, or the Airport other than those areas of the Leased Premises that are being Occupied from time to time by Tenant (or, as applicable, Tenant’s subtenants), those portions of the Apron or other non-public areas of the Facilities, the Land or the Airport that are designated from time to time by the Authority as being available for use by Tenant or its subtenants, those areas at the Land and Facilities that are designated by the Authority from time to time as “Common Areas” open equally to all tenants at the Land and Facilities, and those areas of the Airport that are designated by the Authority from time to time as open to the general public. This subsection (H) shall not be deemed to be an expansion of Tenant’s rights as stated under any other provisions of this Lease.

 

(I)  Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 605, Tenant shall not make any alterations, modifications, improvements or additions of or to the Leased Premises without the prior written consent of the Authority which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Subject to the foregoing, any alterations, modifications, improvements and/or additions by Tenant of or to the Leased Premises shall be deemed a part of the Leased Premises and shall belong to the Authority unless the Authority otherwise agrees in writing that they belong to Tenant.

 

Section 703.                                               Trash, Garbage, Recyclables and Other Refuse: Outside Storage.

 

(A)  Tenant shall pick up, and provide for, a complete and proper arrangement for the adequate sanitary handling and disposal, away from the Airport, of all trash, garbage, recyclables and other refuse caused as a result of its operation and/or occupancy of and on the Leased Premises. Tenant shall provide and use suitable covered outdoor receptacles for all such garbage, trash, recyclables and other refuse on the Leased Premises. Tenant shall dispose of medical or biohazardous waste, regulated waste or any Hazardous Materials recovered or generated as a result of its operations off of the property of the Airport and in accordance with all applicable Laws and subject to Section 705.

 

(B)  Tenant shall be permitted to store, on a short-term basis, the Equipment, the equipment and other personal property of Tenant’s customers, and Tenant’s Excluded Property, on such portions of the Apron as the Authority shall hereafter designate to Tenant in writing, provided that Tenant’s outside storage is reasonable, is short-term, and does not materially impair the Air Operations Area. However, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Authority also desires to maintain the appearance of the Apron in a reasonably neat and attractive manner and condition; therefore, Tenant agrees that if the Authority determines that Tenant’s storage activities on the Apron detract, in an unreasonable manner, from the appearance or use of the Apron, the Authority may notify Tenant in writing as to those items to which the Authority objects being stored by Tenant on the Apron, and Tenant shall cause those items to be removed from the Apron (and to be stored within its then-Occupied portions of the Leased Premises) within forty-eight (48) hours after Tenant receives the Authority’s written notice. Under no circumstances may Tenant perform outside maintenance, repair, or overhaul operations, or other

 

40

 

activities (other than storage as described above) on the Apron on a constant or continuing basis other than what is recognized common practice in the industry; and provided that such activities may only occur on such portion of the Apron as the Authority shall hereafter designate from time to time.

 

Section 704.                             Licenses and Permits. Except for the Authority Permits, Tenant shall obtain and maintain in full force and effect, and comply with, at its cost and expense, any and all certificates, approvals, consents, authorizations, licenses, and permits under any applicable Law that are necessary to comply with this Lease Agreement and the privileges extended hereunder and/or that are necessary or appropriate for Tenant to obtain and maintain in connection with the conduct and operation of Tenant’s Business at the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, the 145 Certificate. The “Authority Permits” shall mean those certificates, approvals, consents, authorizations, licenses, and permits that are listed on Exhibit H attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, and shall also mean any other certificates, approvals, consents, authorizations, licenses and permits that are hereafter required by applicable Law to be obtained and maintained by the Authority in order to own and/or operate the Facilities. However, and without limiting Tenant’s obligations under the first sentence of this Section, the Authority shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain any certificates, approvals, consents, authorizations, licenses or permits that are for the conduct and operation of Tenant’s Business at the Leased Premises (as opposed to the ownership and operation of the Facilities, in general), except that the Authority shall maintain and comply with the IDP (as defined below) and the Part 70 Permit (as defined below).  Tenant has obligations regarding wastewater discharges and the Part 70 Permit as described in Section 706 below.

 

Section 705.                                            Hazardous Materials.

 

(A) (1)  Tenant shall use, store, handle, load, unload and dispose of Hazardous Materials which are brought or generated by Tenant, its subtenants, and/or their respective Employees, agents, contractors and/or Invitees onto the Leased Premises, onto the Apron, and/or onto other portions of the Airport that are used or accessed by Tenant, its subtenants, and/or their respective Employees, agents, contractors and/or Invitees, only in compliance with applicable Laws, except that Tenant, its subtenants and/or their respective Employees, agents, contractors and Invitees shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Section 705(A)(l) if there is a release of Hazardous Materials from, or Hazardous Materials are present in, any sewer, lift station, force main, or waste treatment system, or any related drains or pipes, on or off the Leased Premises (unless such release or presence of Hazardous Materials is caused by the failure of Tenant, its subtenants, or their respective Employees, agents, contractors or Invitees to comply with the Exhibit K). For any Hazardous Material which Tenant or any of its subtenants brings onto the Leased Premises in quantities (individually or cumulatively) greater than fifty-five (55) gallons, or for any Hazardous Materials that Tenant brings onto the Leased Premises which are considered “extremely hazardous” under Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (as supplemented or amended from time to time), Tenant shall promptly furnish to the Authority a list of such Hazardous Materials. “Operating Rules,” as used in this Lease, means those operating rules that are attached hereto comprised of the general Operating Rules and the Operating Rules Applicable To AAR Aircraft Services, Inc., both of which make up Exhibit K. In the case of any conflict between the general Operating Rules and the Operating Rules Applicable To AAR Aircraft Services, Inc., the latter shall control. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Exhibit K may be amended by the Authority from time to time, without the consent of Tenant, to the extent necessary to comply with modifications or amendments from time to time of the IDP and/or to comply with changes to applicable Law from time to time; provided, however, that the

 

41

 

Authority shall provide Tenant with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any such amendments or modifications of Exhibit K. Exhibit K may also be amended or modified upon the mutual written agreement of the Authority and Tenant; and any such amendments or modifications pursuant to this sentence shall be effective immediately upon their written approval by both the Authority and Tenant.

 

(2)  Without limiting Tenant’s obligations under Section 503(B), and subject to the second following sentence, Tenant shall, at its expense, comply with Environmental Laws regarding Hazardous Materials, but only (a) to the extent that Hazardous Materials are first released by Tenant or its subtenants or their respective Employees, agents, contractors or Invitees after June 14, 2004, the Effective Date of the Initial Lease from the Leased Premises, or from portions of the Apron or other non­public areas of the Facilities, the Land or the Airport, that are used or accessed by Tenant or its subtenants or their respective Employees, agents, contractors, or Invitees, so as to avoid Liability being suffered or incurred by any Landlord Indemnified Parties (as hereinafter defined) as a result of and only to the extent of such release and (b) to the extent that Hazardous Materials are first released from other portions of the Facilities, the Land and/or other portions of the Airport (other than the Leased Premises or portions of the Apron or other non-public areas of the Land, the Facilities, or the Airport that are used or accessed by Tenant or its subtenants or their respective Employees, agents, contractors or invitees) by Tenant or its Employees after June 14, 2004, the Effective Date of the Initial Lease so as to avoid Liability being suffered or incurred by any Landlord Indemnified Parties as a result of and only to the extent of such release. Tenant shall first provide the Authority with written notice of such compliance actions. To the extent the presence or the release of Hazardous Materials from the Leased Premises, the Land, the Facilities, and/or other portions of the Airport was caused by (x) a third Person (other than Tenant or its subtenants, or their respective Employees, agents, contractors, or Invitees), (y) the Authority, or (z) the condition (including leaks) of any sewer, lift station, force main, or wastewater treatment system, or any related drains or pipes (unless with respect to subsection (z), such release or presence of Hazardous Materials is caused by the failure of Tenant, its subtenants, or their respective Employees, agents, contractors or Invitees to comply with Exhibit K), or to the extent any Hazardous Materials were placed on or released from the Leased Premises, the Land, the Facilities, and/or other portions of the Airport at any time by any third Person (other than by Tenant or its subtenants, or their respective Employees, agents, contractors, or Invitees), Tenant shall not be responsible for and need not take any action regarding those Hazardous Materials. If the Authority elects to pursue the third Person for the collection of the Authority’s remediation costs and other damages resulting therefrom, Tenant will cooperate at the Authority’s expense with the Authority in pursuing such actions. For purposes of Sections 705 and 1702, neither the Authority nor its employees, agents or contractors, nor any of the Landlord Indemnified Parties, shall be deemed to be an agent, Employee or contractor of Tenant, and any Person or Entity other than Tenant, its subtenants and their Employees, agents, contractors and Invitees shall be deemed to be a “third Person”.

 

(B)     Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to comply in the conduct of its business on the Leased Premises and on areas of the Apron and other non-public areas of the Facilities, the Land and the Airport that are used or accessed by Tenant or its subtenants, and to cause compliance by its subtenants (and Tenant’s and its subtenants’ respective Employees, agents, contractors and Invitees) in the conduct of their business on the Leased Premises and on areas of the Apron and other non-public areas of the Facilities, the Land and the Airport that are used or accessed by Tenant or its subtenants, with their obligations under all applicable Environmental Laws. In connection with other areas of the Land, the Facilities and the Airport (other than the Leased

 

42

 

Premises and portions of the Apron and other non-public areas of the Facilities, the Land and the Airport that are used or accessed by Tenant or its subtenants) that Tenant or its Employees may use or enter upon from time to time, Tenant also hereby covenants and agrees to comply in the conduct of its business, and to cause its Employees to comply in the conduct of Tenant’s business or while those Employees are engaged in the scope of their duties for Tenant, with all applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant shall not be deemed to be in breach of the obligations in either of the two preceding sentences if there is a release of Hazardous Materials from or the presence of Hazardous Materials in any sewer, lift station, force main, or wastewater treatment system, or any related drains or pipes, unless such release or presence of Hazardous Materials is caused by the failure of Tenant, its subtenants, or their respective Employees, agents, contractors or Invitees to comply with Exhibit K. Tenant shall provide to the Authority, promptly upon receipt, copies of any correspondence, notice, pleading, citation, indictment, complaint, order, decree or other document from any source asserting or alleging a circumstance or condition that requires, or may require, a clean-up, removal, remedial action, or other response by or on the part of Tenant or any of its subtenants or the Authority (or any other Landlord Indemnified Party) at the Leased Premises, the Facilities, the Land and/or any other portions of the Airport under Environmental Laws or which seeks criminal or punitive penalties from Tenant or any of its subtenants or the Authority (or any other Landlord Indemnified Party) for an alleged violation of Environmental Laws. Tenant shall advise the Authority in writing as soon as Tenant becomes aware of any violation of any Environmental Laws by Tenant, its subtenants or their respective Employees, agents, contractors or Invitees or a violation of Tenant’s obligations under this Section 705. The first two sentences of this Section 705(B) do not apply to any Hazardous Materials which were not first placed on the Leased Premises or released by Tenant, its subtenants, or their respective Employees, agents, contractors or Invitees or to any environmental condition which was not created by Tenant, its subtenant, or their respective Employees, agents, contractors or Invitees.

 

(C)  As a requirement of the Initial Lease, the Authority obtained a baseline environmental audit (the “Baseline Environmental Audit”) of the Leased Premises dated May 2004 and provided a copy thereof to Tenant.

 

(D)  The Authority shall have the right, (i) from time to time during the Term, if the Authority reasonably suspects that there has been a material breach or violation of the covenants and obligations of Tenant set forth in Section 705(A) and/or (B) above, and/or of the covenants and obligations of Tenant under Section 503(B) above (as and to the extent, for purposes of this subsection (D), those covenants and obligations under Section 503(B) pertain to environmental matters); (ii) from time to time during the Term, at such other times as the Authority so desires (including without limitation pursuant to the Authority’s periodic compliance review procedure); and (iii) in addition, following the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, to cause environmental inspections, audits or site assessments of the Leased Premises and/or other portions of the Airport that are used or accessed by Tenant or its subtenants to be performed solely for the benefit of Authority, at its sole cost and expense, by the Authority or an environmental consultant selected by the Authority (“Environmental Audits”), in order to ascertain whether there have been any breaches or violations of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under Section 705(A) and/or (B) above, and/or any breaches of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under Section 503(B) above (as and to the extent, for purposes of this subsection (D), those covenants and obligations under Section 503(B) pertain to environmental matters), and/or whether there exist amounts of Hazardous Materials in excess of those amounts found in the Baseline Environmental Audit. If the Authority elects to conduct an Environmental Audit

 

43

 

pursuant to subsection (ii) above, the Authority shall provide Tenant with reasonable prior written notice of the Authority’s intent to conduct the Environmental Audit and shall cause the Environmental Audit to be conducted in a manner designed, to the extent reasonably possible, to minimize disruption to Tenant’s Business at the Leased Premises. If the Authority desires to conduct an Environmental Audit pursuant to subsection (iii) above, the Authority shall (except in the event of a termination of this Lease due to an Event of Default by Tenant) commence that Environmental Audit within five (5) days after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. The Authority may notify Tenant, in writing (the “Authority’s Non-Compliance Notice”), that the Authority believes Tenant is in breach of Tenant’s obligations under Section 705(A) or (B), and/or under Section 503(B) (with respect to, for purposes of this subsection (D), environmental matters). Action taken by Tenant to cure a breach of Section 705(A) or (B), and/or of Section 503(B) (with respect to, for purposes of this subsection (D), environmental matters), shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Authority, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Authority or Tenant may also provide a copy of such Environmental Audits and/or the Baseline Environmental Audit to any federal, state or local governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Leased Premises or Hazardous Materials, if required by Law or court order or if Tenant and the Authority mutually agree to do so (in which case neither Tenant nor the Authority shall unreasonably refuse to agree to do so if the other party wishes to do so).

 

(E)    Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Authority, the Redevelopment Authority, the ITFA and the Commission, and each and all of their respective members, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Landlord Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Liabilities for personal or bodily injury, death, or property damage incurred by the Landlord Indemnified Parties or any of them to the extent caused by a breach by Tenant or its subtenants, or their respective Employees, agents, contractors, or Invitees, of Tenant’s covenants and obligations set forth in this Section 705 and/or of Tenant’s covenants and obligations set forth in Section 503(B) (as and to the extent, for purposes of this subsection (E), those covenants and obligations under Section 503(B) relate to environmental matters). This indemnification of the Landlord Indemnified Parties by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs incurred by any of the Landlord Indemnified Parties as a result of such Liabilities for any fines or penalties, any investigation of conditions originating from Tenant’s or its subtenant’s use or accessing of the Leased Premises, the Apron or any other area of the Facilities, the Land or the Airport, and any cleanup, remedial, removal, restoration or monitoring work performed by any Landlord Indemnified Party as a result of the breach of Tenant’s covenants and obligations set forth in this Section 705 and/or of Tenant’s covenants and obligations set forth in Section 503(B) (as and to the extent, for purposes of this subsection (E), those covenants and obligations under Section 503(B) relate to environmental matters), and this indemnification shall survive the cancellation, termination or expiration of the Term.  The Landlord Indemnified Party or Parties shall give to Tenant prompt and reasonable notice of any such Liability and Tenant shall have the right to investigate, compromise, and defend the same. Tenant shall control the defense of the Liabilities, and Landlord Indemnified Patties shall take no action to settle, satisfy or compromise the Liabilities without the prior written consent of Tenant.

 

The foregoing indemnity shall not be applicable to any circumstances or Liabilities which arose as a result of the act or omission of any Landlord Indemnified Party or any third Person.

 

(F)  If the Authority believes there exists an uncorrected violation of Tenant’s covenants

 

44

 

and obligations under Sections 705(A) or (B) above, and/or of Tenant’s covenants and obligations set forth in Section 503(B) (as and to the extent, for purposes of this subsection (F), those covenants and obligations under Section 503(B) relate to environmental matters), the Authority shall provide written notice to Tenant thereof. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Authority’s written notice, provide written notice to the Authority as to whether Tenant agrees that such an uncorrected violation exists; if Tenant does not, within the thirty (30) day period, provide written notice of disagreement with the Authority’s position, Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed that the uncorrected violation exists. If Tenant agrees (or is deemed to have agreed, as described in the preceding sentence) that an uncorrected violation exists, Tenant, at its cost and expense, within thirty (30) days after Tenant agrees or is deemed to have agreed that an uncorrected violation exists, shall commence action to cure the violation and shall thereafter diligently pursue the cure to completion. If Tenant provides the Authority with written notice, during the thirty (30) day period, that Tenant disagrees as to whether an uncorrected violation exists, the Authority may thereafter seek (if the Authority so chooses) to have a determination made by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (or other applicable Governmental Entity (other than the Authority) or by a court of competent jurisdiction, as to whether an uncorrected violation exists. If Governmental Entity (other than the Authority) or the court makes a final, unappealable determination that an uncorrected violation exists, Tenant, at its cost and expense, within thirty (30) days after the court determines (pursuant to a final, unappealable determination) that an uncorrected violation exists, shall commence action to cure the violation and shall thereafter diligently pursue the cure to completion. If Tenant is in breach of Sections 705(A) or (B) or Section 503(B), and if Tenant fails promptly to commence action to cure such breach, and/or fails to diligently pursue to completion such action to cure such breach, as provided above, the same shall, at the option of the Authority, constitute an Event of Default hereunder. Furthermore, in the event Tenant fails to timely initiate, or to diligently pursue, appropriate action to cure such breach of Sections 705(A) or (B) or Section 503(B), as aforesaid, the Authority shall have the right to do so; and Tenant shall promptly reimburse the Authority for the costs and expenses thereof plus interest thereon at twelve and no/!00 per cent (12%) per annum from the date such costs are incurred to the date such costs are repaid to the Authority, if a Governmental Entity (other than the Authority) or a court of competent jurisdiction determines by final, unappealable decision that Tenant failed promptly to commence action to cure such breach or failed diligently to pursue action to cure such breach.

 

(G)  In connection with the Initial Lease, the Authority:

 

(1)  Completed the removal of dust (including any accumulation of dust in the trench drains) which contained, or may have contained, Hazardous Materials from the Facilities and Equipment on the Leased Premises, regardless of whether the dust was located or situated where it would be regulated under an Environmental Law, which removal was completed pursuant to the work plan published in the Request for Proposal, dated April 7, 2004, as amended by certain amendments dated April 12, 2004 and April l4, 2004; and

 

(2)  Cleaned all storm sewers, wastewater sewers, lift stations, and sumps and all related drains (other than sanitary sewer drains) and pipes, on and off the Leased Premises, which could accumulate or convey any wastewater, storm water, or Hazardous Materials at or from the Leased Premises.

45

 

accordance with a reasonable schedule.

 

(H)  The obligations and covenants of Tenant under this Section 705 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease and the Initial Lease.

 

Section 706.  Industrial Discharge Permit; Air and Water Quality Permits.

 

(A)   The Authority owns and/or operates the Indianapolis Maintenance Center Industrial Wastewater Treatment Facility (the “Wastewater Treatment Facility”), which discharges wastewater to the City of Indianapolis publicly-owned treatment works (the “POTW”), and for which the City of Indianapolis has issued an Industrial Discharge Permit (the Industrial Discharge Permit, as modified, amended, supplemented or reissued from time to time being referred to herein as the “IDP”). The Authority shall comply with the IDP and shall properly operate the Wastewater Treatment Facility in order to comply with the IDP and Environmental Laws and to accept and properly treat discharges from Tenant or its subtenants which meet the requirements of Exhibit K. Tenant’s or its subtenant’s discharge to the Wastewater Treatment Facility of wastewater from Tenant’s or its subtenant’s operations at the Leased Premises shall comply with Exhibit K. Tenant shall make available to the Authority and their contractors all information necessary for the Authority to comply with its reporting, recordkeeping, and other obligations under the IDP and related Environmental Laws with respect to Tenant’s and its subtenants’ operations at the Leased Premises and shall cooperate, and cause its subtenants to cooperate, with any government inspection related to the IDP with respect to Tenant’s or its subtenants’ operations at the Leased Premises. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Landlord Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Liabilities (including, without limitation, alleged violations of the IDP, contamination, loss of or harm to fish or wildlife, harm to humans or the environment, upset or bypass at the Wastewater Treatment Facility or at the POTW and increased operational or treatment costs) to the extent caused by wastewater discharged to the Wastewater Treatment Facility by Tenant or its subtenants in violation of Exhibit K. Unless prohibited by applicable Law, the Authority shall promptly pay the Tenant Reimbursement Parties (as defined in Section 1702) for any actual costs and expenses incurred by any Tenant Reimbursement Parties arising out of or in connection with any and all Liabilities (including, without limitation, alleged violations of the IDP, contamination, loss of or harm to fish or wildlife, harm to humans or the environment, upset, bypass at the Wastewater Treatment Facility or at the POTW and increased operational or treatment costs at the Leased Premises or at the Wastewater Treatment Facility) to the extent those Liabilities are caused by the Authority’s failure to meet its obligations under the second sentence of this subsection (A). The preceding sentence is a contractual obligation of the Authority under this Lease made in exchange for good and valuable consideration.

 

(B)   The Authority and the Tenant currently hold a Part 70 Operating Permit issued by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the City of Indianapolis (the Part 70 Operating Permit, as the same may hereafter be modified, amended, supplemented or reissued from time to time, being referred to herein as the “Part 70 Permit”), which permits all operations at the Facilities for purposes of the Federal, State and local air-related Environmental Laws, including those Paint Booth operations Tenant may be performing and operating. Within sixty (60) days after execution of the Initial Lease, Tenant and the Authority jointly filed with the appropriate governmental agencies the appropriate documents to account for Tenant’s operations at the Leased Premises under the Part 70 Permit. The filing included, among other things, a written agreement (the “Part 70 Permit Agreement”) between the Authority and Tenant, in form

 

46

 

and substance mutually and reasonably acceptable to the Authority and to Tenant, which splits the responsibilities under the Part 70 Permit (including, without limitation, responsibilities for record-keeping, reporting, and compliance) so that all such responsibilities shall, from and after the effective date of the Part 70 Permit Amendment (as defined in the following sentence), be allocated between the Authority and Tenant in a manner such that Tenant shall have responsibility for portions of the Part 70 Permit that cover the Leased Premises (including, without limitation, all record-keeping, reporting and compliance obligations thereunder which pertain to the Leased Premises). The filing requested an administrative amendment of the Part 70 Permit in a manner that is consistent with the Part 70 Permit Agreement (the “Part 70 Permit Amendment”). Notwithstanding the Part 70 Permit Amendment, the Authority will continue to be shown as the owner of the entire source. Both before and after the Part 70 Permit Amendment became effective, Tenant has operated (and has caused its subtenants to operate) under the Part 70 Permit and has complied with (and has caused its subtenants, and Tenant’s and its subtenants’ respective Employees, agents, contractors and Invitees to comply with) the Part 70 Permit, as the same may be modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, to the extent applicable to Tenant’s or its subtenants’ operations at the Leased Premises. Tenant shall make available to the Authority and their contractors all information necessary for the Authority to comply with its reporting, recordkeeping, and other obligations under the Part 70 Permit with respect to Tenant’s and its subtenants’ operations at the Leased Premises and shall cooperate, and shall cause its subtenants to cooperate, with any government inspection related to the Part 70 Permit with respect to Tenant’s or its subtenants’ operations at the Leased Premises. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Landlord Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Liabilities (including, without limitation, alleged violations of the Part 70 Permit, contamination, air pollution and harm to humans or the environment) to the extent caused by Tenant’s or its subtenants’ air emissions or other acts or omissions in violation of the Part 70 Permit. Unless prohibited by applicable Law, the Authority shall promptly pay the Tenant Reimbursement Parties (as defined in Section 1702) for any actual costs and expenses incurred by any Tenant Reimbursement Parties arising out of or in connection with any and all Liabilities (including, without limitation, alleged violations of the Part 70 Permit, contamination, air pollution, and harm to humans or the environment) to the extent caused by the Authority’s or a third Person’s (excluding only Tenant and its subtenants and their respective Employees, agents, contractors and Invitees) air emissions or other acts or omissions in violation of the Part 70 Permit. The preceding sentence is a contractual obligation of the Authority under this Lease made in exchange for good and valuable consideration.

 

(C)  Tenant’s obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Landlord Indemnified Parties, and the Authority’s contractual obligations to pay the Tenant Reimbursement Parties, pursuant to this Section 706 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Initial Lease and this Lease.

 

Section 707. Signs. Tenant shall not erect, maintain, or display upon the outside of any buildings, structures or other improvements on the Leased Premises or the Facilities any billboards or advertising signs.  However, that Tenant may install, on the exterior walls of the Leased Premises or the Facilities, signage for Tenant’s Business at the Leased Premises or the Facilities, provided that the quantity, size, location, content, design and appearance of such signage shall be in compliance with Laws and subject to the prior written approval of the Authority.  Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for ensuring that all of Tenant’s signage complies with any and all applicable Laws, and Tenant shall be responsible, at

 

47

 

its cost and expense, before erecting any signage, for obtaining any and all necessary or appropriate approvals, permits, consents, and/or licenses from any applicable Governmental Entities with respect to such signage.  The Authority’s approval of such signage shall not, and shall not be deemed to, constitute a representation or acknowledgement by the Authority that Tenant’s proposed signage complies with any Laws, nor shall such approval by the Authority relieve Tenant of any of Tenant’s obligations under the preceding sentences.  The cost and expense of obtaining and maintaining Tenant’s signage will be at the sole cost of Tenant.  All other Facility signage shall be at the cost and expense of the Authority. An example of Authority responsibility is parking lot signage or other common areas.

 

Section 708. Rules and Regulations for Safety, Care and Cleanliness. Tenant shall comply with, and shall cause its subtenants (and its and their respective Employees, agents, contractors and Invitees) to comply with, such rules and regulations of the Facilities as are adopted by the Authority from time to time for safety, care and cleanliness of the Leased Premises and the Facilities and preservation of good order therein, all of which shall be sent by the Authority to Tenant in writing and shall thereafter be carried out and observed by Tenant and its subtenants and its and their respective Employees, agents, contractors and Invitees.

ARTICLE XVI.

 

CASUALTY DAMAGE AND CONDEMNATION

 

Section 1601. Damage by Casualty. In the event of fire or other casualty in or to any portion of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to the Authority.

 

(A)  Repair and Restoration.

 

(1) If all or a substantial part of the Leased Premises is rendered untenantable or inaccessible by damage to all or any part of the Facilities from fire, the elements, accident, terrorist activity, or other casualty (collectively, “Casualty”) then, unless either party is entitled, and elects, to terminate this Lease Agreement pursuant to subsections (B) or (C) below, the Authority shall, at its expense, use reasonable efforts to repair and restore the Leased Premises and/or the Facilities, as the case may be, to substantially their former condition to the extent permitted by then applicable Laws; provided, however, that in no event shall the Authority have any obligation:

 

(a)  to make repairs or restoration beyond the extent of Net Proceeds actually received by the Authority for such Casualty (and not applied by any lender to then outstanding indebtedness); and/or

 

(b)  to repair, restore, or replace any personal property (including without limitation the Excluded Property) at the Leased Premises other than the Equipment.

 

(2) If the Authority is required to repair damage to the Leased Premises and/or the Facilities resulting from a Casualty, the following shall apply:

 

(a)  This Lease Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, but Tenant’s obligations to pay Minimum Rental that would otherwise have accrued from and after the date of the Casualty through the date of substantial completion of the repairs or restoration shall be abated with regard to any portion of the Leased Premises that Tenant is prevented from using by reason of such damage or its repair or restoration; provided, however, that, to the extent the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its subtenants, and/or their respective agents, contractors, Employees or Invitees caused such Casualty, Base Rent, Additional Rent, Minimum Rental, and Machine Shop, Composite Shop and Interior Shop rent shall not be abated during the period of restoration of the Leased Premises except to the extent the Authority collects for such Base Rent, Additional Rent, Minimum Base Rent, and Machine Shop, Composite Shop, and Interior Shop rent from rental insurance maintained by the Authority.

 

(b)  Subject to the Authority’s obligations under Section 1702(B) below, in no event shall the Authority be liable to Tenant by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s Business or property arising from a Casualty or by reason of any repairs or restoration to any part of the Facilities (including without limitation the Leased Premises) necessitated by the Casualty.

 

69

 

(B) Authority’s Right to Terminate.

 

(1) The Authority may elect to terminate this Lease Agreement following damage from Casualty, under the following circumstances:

 

(a)  If, in the Authority’s sole judgment, the Leased Premises and/or the Facilities cannot be substantially repaired and restored under applicable Laws within six (6) months from the date of the Casualty;

 

(b)  If, in the Authority’s sole judgment, adequate insurance proceeds are not, for any reason, made available to the Authority from its insurance policies to make the required repairs or restoration;

 

(c)  If twenty percent (20%) or more of the Leased Premises is damaged or destroyed (including without limitation by smoke or water damage);

 

(d) If twenty percent (20%) or more of the Facilities are damaged or destroyed (including without limitation by smoke or water damage), regardless of whether the Leased Premises are damaged or destroyed;

 

(e)  If the Facilities are damaged or destroyed (including without limitation by smoke or water damage) to the extent that, in the Authority’s sole judgment, the cost to repair or restore the Facilities would exceed twenty percent (20%) of the full replacement cost of the Facilities, whether or not the Leased Premises are damaged or destroyed;

 

(f)  If the Casualty occurs during the last thirty-six (36) months of the Term; or

 

(g) There exists, at the time of the Casualty, an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease Agreement (or, if at the time of the Casualty, there exists a default by Tenant under any term or condition of this Lease which would, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or both, constitute an Event of Default under this Lease, and Tenant fails to cure that default within the applicable grace or cure period provided under this Lease).

 

(2)  If any of the circumstances described in subsection (B)(1) above exists, the Authority may notify Tenant, in writing, that the Authority elects to terminate this Lease Agreement, provided that the Authority must provide Tenant with the notice of termination within sixty (60) days after the date of the Casualty.

 

(C) Tenant’s Right to Terminate. Within sixty (60) days after the Casualty, the Authority shall deliver to Tenant a written estimate from an engineering or consulting firm selected by the Authority stating the estimated date for substantial completion of the repairs or restoration to the Facilities (the “Estimated Completion Date”). If all or a substantial part of the Leased Premises is rendered untenantable or inaccessible as a result of the Casualty, and if the Estimated Completion Date for the repairs and restoration is more than six (6) months after the date of the Casualty, Tenant may cancel and terminate this Lease Agreement with all Rental paid or refunded so as to adjust to the date of such Casualty. Tenant will notify the Authority, in writing, that Tenant elects to terminate this Lease Agreement within thirty (30) days from the date Tenant receives the Authority’s written estimate of the

 

70

 

Estimated Completion Date. If Tenant does not terminate this Lease Agreement in accordance with the preceding sentence, and if the Authority does not terminate this Lease Agreement in accordance with subsection (B) above, the Authority shall proceed with reasonable diligence with respect to the repairs and restoration pursuant to this Section, but subject in all respects to subsections (A)(1) and (A)(2) above. Notwithstanding anything in this subsection (C) to the contrary, Tenant shall not have the right to cancel and terminate this Lease Agreement if any fault or negligence of Tenant, its subtenants, or their respective agents, contractors, Employees, or Invitees substantially contributed to the cause of such Casualty.

 

Section 1602. Condemnation.

 

(A)  Condemnation; Termination; Restoration. In the event of a taking or appropriation of property in the exercise of the power of eminent domain for a public or quasi­ public use or a transfer in lieu of the exercise of the power of eminent domain (a “Condemnation”) of the entire Leased Premises or the entire Facilities, this Lease Agreement shall terminate on the date of the vesting of title to the condemned property or on the date of the taking of possession of such property by the condemning authority, whichever shall first occur. In the event (i) of a Condemnation with respect to the Leased Premises that exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the Leased Premises, or (ii) the proceeds available to the Authority from the Condemnation (and not applied by any lender to then-outstanding indebtedness) are not, in the Authority’s sole judgment, adequate for the restoration, the Authority shall have the right to terminate this Lease Agreement by written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the vesting of title to the condemned property or the taking of possession of the property by the condemning authority, whichever is earlier. In the event of a Condemnation affecting a portion of the Leased Premises, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease Agreement if more than twenty percent (20%) of the Leased Premises then Occupied by Tenant is taken as part of the Condemnation, by providing written notice of termination to the Authority within thirty (30) days after the vesting of title to the condemned property or the taking of possession of the property by the condemning authority, whichever is earlier. Such termination as to the portion of the Leased Premises that is taken by the condemning authority shall be effective as of, and retroactive to, the earlier of the date when the condemning authority takes possession or the date when title to the condemned property vests in the condemning authority. If less than all of the Leased Premises is taken, such termination as to that portion of the Leased Premises not taken shall be effective as of the later of (1) the date when exclusive possession of that portion of the Leased Premises not subject to the Condemnation is surrendered by Tenant to the Authority, or (2) the date of vesting of title to the condemned property or the date of taking of possession of the property by the condemning authority (whichever is earlier). Until such time as this Lease Agreement is fully terminated pursuant to the preceding sentences, Tenant shall be obligated to continue to pay Rental and all other payments specified in Article VI hereof. If the Authority elects to continue this Lease Agreement in effect, the Authority shall be responsible, to the extent of Net Proceeds available (and not applied by any lender to then-outstanding indebtedness), for performance of all work necessary to make the Leased Premises (or such portion thereof was not taken in Condemnation) usable by Tenant in addition to all work necessary in other portions of the Facilities as a result of such taking.

 

(B)  Application of Proceeds. The Net Proceeds from the Condemnation may be applied in one or more of the following ways as determined by the Authority:

 

(i)  To the extent neither party terminates this Lease Agreement as provided above, toward the restoration of the Leased Premises (or such portion thereof that were not taken in Condemnation) and Facilities (or such portion thereof that were not taken in Condemnation) to

 

71

 

substantially the same condition as existed prior to the exercise of the power of eminent domain, to the extent of Net Proceeds available from the Condemnation (and not applied by any lender to then- outstanding indebtedness);

 

(ii)  To the extent neither party terminates this Lease Agreement as provided above, toward the construction or acquisition of other improvements suitable for Tenant’s operations on the remaining portion of the Leased Premises (which improvements shall be deemed a part of the Facilities and available for use and occupancy by Tenant without the payment of any rent other than as herein provided to the same extent as if such other improvements were specifically described herein and demised hereby), to the extent of Net Proceeds available from the Condemnation (and not applied by any lender to then­ outstanding indebtedness); or

 

(iii) To the extent either party terminates this Lease Agreement as provided above, payment of such proceeds to the Authority.

 

(C)  Condemnation of Tenant’s Personal Property. All compensation awarded for any such taking or conveyance of the Authority’s interest shall be the property of the Authority without deduction therefrom for any present or future estate of Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to the Authority all right, title and interest in and to such award. However, Tenant shall have the right to recover from the condemning authority, but not from the Authority, such compensation as may be awarded to Tenant, if applicable, on account of moving and relocation expenses and depreciation to and removal of Tenant’s property.

 

(D) Taking or Condemnation by the Authority. If the Authority exercises its right of condemnation or eminent domain with respect to all or substantially all of the Leased Premises for the purposes set forth in Section 1301 hereof, the Authority reserves the right, on eighteen (18) months-notice, to relocate or replace the Facilities in substantially similar form at another comparable location on the Airport or to replace such portion of the Leased Premises; provided, however, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease Agreement as and to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 1602; and provided further, that if Tenant does not exercise such termination right pursuant to Section 1602, that following such relocation or replacement, the Leased Premises are substantially similar to and can be operated in a manner substantially similar to the Leased Premises prior to such relocation or replacement and Tenant’s Business can be operated in a manner substantially similar to Tenant’s Business prior to such relocation or replacement. The new location shall constitute thereafter the Leased Premises and the facilities or improvements located thereon, and equipment thereof, shall thereafter constitute the Facilities for purposes of this Lease Agreement. The relocation of the Leased Premises shall be at no cost to Tenant and the new Facilities must be ready for occupancy by Tenant prior to the date of required relocation subject to moving Tenant’s Excluded Property and the Equipment to the new relocated Facilities. If the Authority complies with the provisions of this Section, such remedies shall be in lieu of any remedies Tenant may have pursuant to law or equity with respect to the actions taken by the Authority in condemning the Leased Premises or relocating the Leased Premises.

ARTICLE XVII.

 

GENERAL INDEMNITY

 

Section 1701. Tenant Indemnity.  Except to the extent indemnified by the Authority pursuant to the terms of the Lease, or except as governed by Section 705 hereof, Tenant covenants and agrees fully to indemnify, defend, save, and hold harmless the Landlord Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Liabilities for personal injury, bodily injury, death, and/or property damage (including without limitation all reasonable expenses incidental to the investigation and defense thereof, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) (a) caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant, its subtenants, and/or any of their respective Employees, agents, contractors and/or Invitees, and/or any of the other Tenant Reimbursement Parties, at or on the Leased Premises, and/or at or on the Apron and/or other non-public areas of the Airport to which Tenant, its subtenants and/or their respective Employees, agents, contractors and/or Invitees may have access, (b) caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant and/or any of its Employees, at or on the other areas of the Land, the Facilities and/or the Airport (other than the Leased Premises, and/or the Apron and/ or other non-public areas of the Airport to which Tenant, its subtenants, and/or their respective Employees, agents, contractors or Invitees may have access), provided, however, that as to Tenant’s Employees, this subsection (b) shall only apply to acts or omissions of those Employees in the conduct of Tenant’s business or during the scope of their employment by Tenant, or (c) caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or its Employees, agents, contractors and/or Invitees at or on the Leased Premises pursuant to Section 205(F) above. The Authority hereby acknowledges and agrees that for purposes of this Section 1701, the Authority, its other tenants, the other Landlord Indemnified Parties, and/or any of their respective employees, contractors and agents shall not be deemed to be “subtenants,” “contractors” or “agents” of Tenant. However, Tenant shall not be liable for any such Liabilities for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage relative to the Leased Premises (y) to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of the Authority, the other Landlord Indemnified Parties, or any of their respective employees, agents or contractors or (z) if the Authority is otherwise obligated for those Liabilities pursuant to other provisions of this Lease; and the Authority’s insurance coverages relative to those particular Liabilities shall be deemed “primary” vis-a-vis the Tenant’s insurance coverages relative to those particular Liabilities. Except as described in the preceding sentence, the Authority and Tenant agree that, with respect to the Land, Facilities and other portions of the Airport (including the Leased Premises) and Tenant’s Liabilities arising under this Section 1701 relating thereto, Tenant’s insurance shall be deemed “primary” vis-a-vis the Authority’s insurance. The Authority shall give Tenant prompt and reasonable notice of any such Liabilities arising under this Section 1701. lf any action or proceeding is brought against any of the Landlord Indemnified Parties by reason of any such Liability, Tenant, upon notice from any of the Landlord Indemnified Parties, agrees to resist and defend the Liability on demand of any of the Landlord Indemnified Parties. Tenant shall not consent to the entry of any judgment, decree, or order, interim or otherwise, or propose, approve, consent to, or enter into any settlement or compromise, against or otherwise affecting any Landlord Indemnified Party, except with the prior written consent of that Landlord Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each Landlord Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof but shall bear the fees and expenses of such counsel unless (A) Tenant shall have specifically authorized the retaining of such counsel or (B) the parties to such suit include such Landlord Indemnified Party, and Tenant and such Landlord Indemnified Party have each been advised by their counsel that one or more legal defenses may be available to it which may not be available to the other party and that a conflict of interest is created thereby, in which case Tenant shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such suit notwithstanding its obligation to bear the fees and expenses of such

 

73

 

counsel. The obligations of Tenant under this Section 1701 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

 

Section 1702. Authority Obligations.

 

(A)  Environmental.

 

(1)  Except with respect to contamination shown to have resulted from releases of Hazardous Materials after the Effective Date of the Initial Lease by Tenant, its subtenant, or their respective Employees, agents, contractors, or Invitees, and, unless prohibited by applicable Law, the Authority covenants and agrees to promptly pay Tenant and its subtenants and their respective members, directors, officers, Employees, agents, successors, and assigns (collectively the “Tenant Reimbursement Parties”) for all actual costs and expenses incurred by the Tenant Reimbursement Parties or any of them arising out of or in connection with any and all Liabilities or obligations under Environmental Laws and Environmental Health and Safety Requirements to the extent those Liabilities are caused by or related to the presence or release of Hazardous Materials or other substances at or from the Leased Premises, the Facilities, the Land, the Apron, or any other location at the Airport. This contractual obligation to the Tenant Reimbursement Parties by the Authority, includes, without limitation, costs incurred by any of the Tenant Reimbursement Parties as a result of Liabilities and obligations described in the preceding sentence for any fines or penalties, any investigations of environmental conditions, and any cleanup, remedial, removal, restoration or monitoring work performed by any Tenant Reimbursement Party because of the Liabilities and obligations described in the preceding sentence. The Tenant Reimbursement Party or Parties shall give to the Authority prompt and reasonable notice of any such Liability or obligation, and the Authority shall have the right to investigate, compromise, perform, and defend the same. The Authority shall control the defense of the Liabilities and obligations, and the Tenant Reimbursement Parties shall take no action to settle, satisfy or compromise the Liabilities or obligations without the prior written consent of the Authority. The Authority’s obligations under Section 1702(A)(l) include, but are not limited to, paying for Liabilities and obligations which arise from the release of Hazardous Materials prior to, on or after the Effective Date of the Initial Lease from sewers, lift stations, force mains, the wastewater Treatment Facility or any related drains or pipes (unless caused by the failure of a Tenant Reimbursement Party or their agents, contractors, or Invitees to comply with Exhibit K). The Authority’s contractual obligations under this subsection (A)(l) shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Term of this Lease. The obligations of the Authority under this Section 1702(A)(l) are contractual obligations of the Authority under this Lease made in exchange for good and valuable consideration.

 

(2)  During the Initial Lease, the Authority, at its cost, filed an application with IDEM to participate in IDEM’s Voluntary Remediation Program (“VRP”) pursuant to Indiana Code §§ 13-25-5 et seq., with respect to contamination or other matters which existed on the Effective Date of the Initial Lease, at the Leased Premises, the Land and the Facilities.  The Authority and Tenant agreed to voluntarily withdraw from the VRP.  However, the Authority agreed to diligently and in good faith seek to obtain from IDEM a Site Status Letter (“Letter”), which shall apply to the Leased Premises, and the Land beneath the Facilities associated with Tenant’s leased areas.  The Site Status letter was sent from IDEM to Authority and Tenant, dated January 15, 2010.

 

74

 

(3)  With respect to the presence or release of Hazardous Materials after the Effective Date of the Initial Lease not caused by any Tenant Reimbursement Party or by any Employee, agent contractor or Invitee of Tenant or of any of its subtenants, the Authority, upon receipt of written notice from Tenant that Tenant has received notice of a potential Environmental Law Liability which Tenant has a reasonable basis for believing was caused by the Authority or any other Person that is not a Tenant Reimbursement Party and not an Employee, agent, contractor or Invitee of Tenant or of any of its subtenants and that is not under the direction or control of any Tenant Reimbursement Party, the Authority agrees, at its cost, to pursue the responsible Person and to use its best efforts to cause the responsible Person to resolve such potential Environmental Law Liability, including, but not limited to, negotiations with appropriate regulatory agencies or defense of legal action brought by any Person (other than a Tenant Reimbursement Party or any Employee, agent, contractor or Invitee of Tenant or any of its subtenants); however, the Authority reserves its rights, subject to Section 1702(A)(l), to pursue Tenant for such Environmental Law Liability if Authority believes that any Tenant Reimbursement Parties or any Employees, agents, contractors or Invitees of Tenant or of its subtenants caused or contributed to such Environmental Law Liability. Tenant shall provide written notice to the Authority of any release of Hazardous Materials by any of the Tenant Reimbursement Parties or by any Employee, agent, contractor or Invitee of Tenant or of its subtenants, to the soil or groundwater at the Leased Premises, the Land, the Facilities, or other portions of the Airport, which release is known to Tenant and which release is required to be reported to IDEM by Tenant. If Tenant fails to so provide written notice of such a release of Hazardous Materials at the Leased Premises or other area of the Land or the Facilities that Tenant or its subtenant is using from time to time, and if the Authority subsequently learns of that release of Hazardous Materials, Tenant shall be deemed to be responsible for that release unless Tenant is able to demonstrate to the Authority that the release was caused by another Person other than a Tenant Reimbursement Party or other than the Employees, agents, contractors or Invitees of Tenant or of its subtenants. The Authority’s obligations under this subsection (A)(3) shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Term of this Lease.

 

(B)  General. Except to the extent indemnified by the Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Lease, or except as governed by Section 1702(A), the Authority covenants and agrees, unless prohibited by applicable Law, to fully pay the Tenant Reimbursement Parties the actual costs, damages and expenses incurred by them as a result of any Liabilities for personal injury, bodily injury, death, and/or property damage (including without limitation all reasonable expenses incidental to the investigation and defense thereof, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees), caused by the acts or omissions of the Authority, the other Landlord Indemnified Parties, and/or any of their respective employees, agents or contractors, at or on any of the Land and Facilities and/or other portions of the Airport (including the Leased Premises). However, the Authority shall not be liable for any such Liabilities for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage relative to the Land, the Facilities and/or other portions of the Airport, (y) to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of the Tenant, the other Tenant Reimbursement Parties, any subtenants of Tenant, or any of Tenant’s or its subtenants’ Employees, agents, contractors or Invitees, or (z) if Tenant.is otherwise obligated for those Liabilities pursuant to other provisions of this Lease; and the Tenant’s insurance coverages relative to those particular Liabilities shall be deemed “primary” vis-a-vis the Authority’s insurance coverages relative to those particular Liabilities. Except as described in the preceding sentence, the Authority and Tenant agree that, with respect to the Land, Facilities and other portions of the Airport (including the Leased Premises) and the Authority’s Liabilities arising under this Section 1702(B) relating thereto, the Authority’s insurance shall be deemed to be “primary” vis-a-vis Tenant’s insurance. Tenant shall give the Authority prompt and reasonable

 

75

 

notice of any such Liabilities arising under this Section 1702(B). If any action or proceeding is brought against any of the Tenant Reimbursement Parties by reason of any such Liability, the Authority, upon notice from any of the Tenant Reimbursement Patties, agrees to resist and defend the Liability or demand of any of the Tenant Reimbursement Parties. The Authority shall not consent to the entry of any judgment, decree, or order, interim or otherwise, or propose, approve, consent to, or enter into any settlement or compromise, against or otherwise affecting any Tenant Reimbursement Party, except with the prior written consent of that Tenant Reimbursement Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Authority’s contractual obligations under this Section 1702(B) shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Term of this Lease. The obligations of the Authority under this Section 1702(B) are contractual obligations of the Authority under this Lease made in exchange for good and valuable consideration and such contractual obligation shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Term of this Lease.

ARTICLE XVIII.

 

EVENTS OF DEFAULT BY AUTHORITY

 

Section 1801. Events of Default by Authority. The following shall constitute an Event of Default by the Authority: (a) the issuance by any court of competent jurisdiction of an injunction in any way preventing or restraining the use of the Airport, so as to substantially affect Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises at the Airport for a period of at least ninety (90) consecutive days, to the extent the injunction is issued as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of the Authority; or (b) if the Authority fails to observe and perform any material covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be observed or performed in this Lease Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days after Tenant gives written notice to the Authority, specifying the failure and requesting that it be remedied, unless Tenant agrees in writing to an extension of that period prior to its expiration. If a failure under this subsection is such that it cannot be corrected within the thirty (30) day period, it shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Article XVIII if corrective action is instituted by the Authority within the thirty (30) day period and is diligently pursued until the failure is corrected, but such additional applicable period shall not exceed sixty (60) days without the written consent of Tenant.

 

Section 1802. Remedies of Tenant on Default. If any Event of Default referred to in Section 1801 occurs, Tenant may institute any action at law or in equity against the Authority as may appear necessary or desirable to enforce the performance and observance of any covenant, condition or obligation of the Authority hereunder or to recover provable compensatory damages (but not consequential damages) for the Authority’s non-performance or non-observance of the same or to terminate the Lease Agreement without any further obligation to the Authority other than those obligations that have accrued or arisen prior to termination.

 

Section 1803. No Additional Waiver Implied By One Waiver; Consents to Waiver. The waiver by Tenant of any breach by the Authority of any of its covenants, conditions or obligations under this Lease Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or a waiver of any breach of any other covenant, condition, or obligation under this Agreement. Tenant’s forbearance to seek a remedy for any breach by the Authority shall not be a waiver by Tenant of any of its rights and remedies with respect to the breach or any subsequent breach of the same covenant, condition or obligation or with respect to any other breach.

 

Section 1804. Delay Not a Waiver. No delay or omission by Tenant to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default by the Authority shall impair any such right or power of Tenant or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default by the Authority or any acquiescence therein, and every power or remedy given by this Lease Agreement to Tenant may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. Tenant may waive any Event of Default by the Authority that in its opinion has been remedied before the entry of final judgment or decree in any suit, action or proceeding instituted by it under the provisions of this Lease Agreement or before the completion of the enforcement of any other remedies under this Lease Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any other existing or subsequent Event of Default by the Authority or impair any rights or remedies consequent thereon.

 

Section 1805. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon the Tenant is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, and each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Lease Agreement or now or hereafter existing at

law or in equity or by statute. However, if Tenant seeks damages, it may only seek provable, compensatory damages and not consequential damages. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default granted under this Lease Agreement shall impair any right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, and any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient, and the exercise of any one right or remedy shall not impair the right of the Tenant, to exercise any or all other remedies under this Lease Agreement.

 

Section 1806. Notice of Termination. If the Tenant exercises its right to terminate this Lease Agreement upon the happening of any Event of Default or other provision to which such right of termination applies, a notice of termination shall be (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease) sufficient to terminate this Lease Agreement; and, upon receipt of the same, Tenant hereby agrees that it will surrender possession of the Leased. Premises to the Authority on the date set forth in its termination notice.

(C)  The filing by Tenant of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or the making of any assignment for the benefit of creditors of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets used or to be used by Tenant with respect to Tenant’s Business at the Leased Premises (provided, however, that an “assignment” for purposes of this subsection (C) shall not be deemed to include a collateral assignment by Tenant of, or grant of a security interest by Tenant in Tenant’s Excluded Property to a third party lender, if the collateral assignment or grant of security interest is being granted by Tenant in the ordinary course of obtaining financing for the day-to-day operation of Tenant’s Business at the Leased Premises).

 

(D) The filing of a petition against Tenant as a debtor pursuant to any involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, and such petition is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing.

 

79

 

(E)  The taking of control of Tenant or its assets by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to proceedings brought under the provisions of any Federal reorganization act.

 

(F)  The appointment of a receiver or a trustee, by a court of competent jurisdiction, or Tenant’s voluntary assignment to its creditors in lieu thereof, for all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets used or to be used with respect to Tenant’s Business at the Leased Premises.

(H) Except for de-Occupations as contemplated in Section 205(D) above, abandonment or vacation of all or any substantial part of the Leased Premises by Tenant for a period of more than ninety (90) consecutive days without the prior written consent of the Authority; provided, however, that, subject to Article XVI above, if cessation of or failure to use the Leased Premises is caused by reason of war, strikes, embargoes, riots, civil commotion, acts of public enemies, earthquakes or other natural disasters, or action of the elements, this Lease shall nonetheless terminate on the ninetieth (90th) day after Tenant vacates the Leased Premises, but such vacation shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default under this subsection (H).

 

(I)  The rescission, termination, expiration, alteration or amendment of the Letter of Credit (except as permitted under Section 1201 above).

 

(J)  If Tenant becomes obligated to supply a Letter of Credit under Section 1201, and Tenant fails to do so as required under Section 1201 within the sixty (60) day period described in Section 1201.

If a failure under this subsection is such that it cannot be corrected within the thirty (30) day period, it shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Article XIX, if corrective action is instituted by Tenant within the thirty (30) day period and diligently pursued until the failure is corrected, but such additional applicable period shall not exceed sixty (60) additional days without the written consent of the Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any failure by Tenant to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be performed pursuant to this Lease Agreement would materially impair the use or operation of the balance of the Facilities or Airport operations, it shall be an Event of Default if Tenant does not cure such failure within three (3) days after written notice from the Authority. If a failure under the preceding sentence is such that it cannot be corrected within the three (3) day period, it shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Article XIX, if corrective action is instituted by Tenant within the three (3) day period and diligently pursued until the failure is corrected, but such additional applicable period shall not exceed thirty (30) additional days without the written consent of the Authority.

Section 1902. Certain Remedies of the Authority on Rental Default.

 

(A) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant under Section 1901(A), the Authority may, without giving Tenant notice: (i) declare all amounts payable under Article VI to be due and payable immediately; and (ii) may take whatever action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or desirable to collect the Rentals, including but not limited to redeeming the Letter of Credit supplied and/or enforcing the Guaranty provided under Section 1201 and any other amounts then due and thereafter to become due pursuant to Article VI hereof, to recover provable compensatory damages and not consequential damages for Tenant’s non­payment or to terminate this Lease Agreement without terminating Tenant’s obligations to pay damages.

 

(B) If, at any time after the Rental due under Article VI hereof have been declared due and payable by the Authority in any suit, action or proceeding instituted on account of the default and before the final adjudication of the termination of this Lease Agreement, every default in the observance or performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Lease Agreement has been remedied to the satisfaction of the Authority, then and in every such case the Authority may, by written notice to Tenant, rescind and annul the declaration and its consequences, but no rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section 1903. Additional Remedies of Authority on Default.

 

(A) If any Event of Default referred to in Section 1901 occurs, the Authority may, in its own name and for its own account, in addition to any exercise by the Authority of any other remedy provided for in this Lease Agreement or by Law, institute any action at law or in equity against Tenant as may appear necessary or desirable to collect such Rentals and any other amounts then due or thereafter to become due under this Lease Agreement, or to enforce the performance and observance of any covenant, condition or obligation of Tenant hereunder, or to recover provable compensatory damages and not consequential damages for Tenant’s nonpayment, non-performance or non-observance of the same or to terminate Tenant’s right to possession or terminate this Lease Agreement without terminating Tenant’s obligations to pay damages.

 

(B) If, at the time the Authority elects to proceed to enforce its remedies pursuant to subsection (A) hereof, the Authority may by appropriate judicial proceedings also proceed to evict Tenant from possession of the Leased Premises and the Authority may thereafter retake possession of the Leased Premises while the Event of Default continues. Notwithstanding these actions, Tenant shall continue to be obligated to make the Rental payments due pursuant to Article VI hereof.

 

Section 1904. Tenant to Remain Liable for Payments; Reletting.

 

(A)  Notwithstanding the exercise by the Authority of its remedies under Sections 1902 and/or 1903 hereof, Tenant shall continue to be liable for the payment of all Rentals payable under Article VI hereof and other amounts payable under this Lease Agreement, and Tenant shall make such payments at the same times and in the same manner as provided in this Lease Agreement, except as provided in Section 1904(B) hereof.

 

(B) The Authority shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Leased Premises for rentals equal to the full Rentals due from Tenant pursuant to Article VI hereof.

 

81

 

Section 1905. Disposition of Excluded Property. If any of Tenant’s personal property, including without limitation any of the Excluded Property, remains upon the Tenant vacating and the Authority’s reentry of the Leased Premises pursuant to this Article XIX, the Authority may, but without any obligation to do so, remove that property and Tenant shall reimburse the Authority for any expense incurred by the Authority in connection with the removal and storage of that property. In such event, the Authority shall have the right to sell or rent Tenant’s personal property, provided that it gives to Tenant not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice that it intends to conduct such a sale or rental. The proceeds of the sale or letting shall be applied first, to the cost of the sale or letting, second, to the payment of the charges for storage or removal, and third, shall be applied to the Authority.

 

Section 1906. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon the Authority is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, and each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Lease Agreement now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default granted under this Lease Agreement shall impair any right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, and any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient, and the exercise of any one right or remedy shall not impair the right of the Authority, to exercise any or all other remedies under this Lease Agreement.

 

Section 1907. No Additional Waiver Implied By One Waiver; Consents to Waiver. The waiver by the Authority of any breach by Tenant of any of its covenants, conditions or obligations under this Lease Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or a waiver of any breach of any other covenant, condition, or obligation under this Lease Agreement. Nor shall the Authority’s forbearance to seek a remedy for any breach by Tenant be a waiver by the Authority of any of its rights and remedies with respect to the breach or any subsequent breach of the same covenant, condition or obligation or with respect to any other breach.

 

Section 1908. Notice of Termination. If the Authority exercises its right to terminate this Lease Agreement upon the happening of any Event of Default or other provision to which such right of termination applies, a notice of termination shall be (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease) sufficient to terminate this Lease Agreement; and, upon receipt of the same, Tenant hereby agrees that it will forthwith surrender possession of the Leased Premises to the Authority.

 

Section 1909. Possession by Authority. In any of the events described in Section 1908 hereof, or termination of Tenant’s right of possession thereunder, the Authority may take immediate possession of the Leased Premises and remove Tenant’s Personal Property forcibly if necessary, without being deemed guilty of trespassing or constituting an acceptance of surrender of the Leased Premises. In addition, all rights of Tenant to the Leased Premises shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Authority shall have and reserve all of its available remedies at law as a result of said breach of this Lease Agreement. Failure of the Authority to declare this Lease Agreement terminated upon any event described in Section 1908 hereof shall not operate to bar, destroy or waive the right of the Authority to cancel this Lease Agreement by reason of any subsequent or other event described in Section 1908 hereof.

 

Section 1910. Delay Not A Waiver. No delay or omission by the Authority to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default by Tenant shall impair any such right or power of the Authority or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default by Tenant or any acquiescence therein, and every power or remedy given by this Lease Agreement to the Authority may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. The Authority may waive any Event of Default by

 

82

 

Tenant that in its opinion has been remedied before the entry of final judgment or decree in any suit, action or proceeding instituted by it under the provisions of this Lease Agreement or before the completion of the enforcement of any other remedies under this Lease Agreement, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any other existing or subsequent Event of Default by Tenant or impair any rights or remedies consequent thereon.

RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION

 

Section 2001. Improvements.

Section 2002. Excluded Property. Upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease Agreement, Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Excluded Property from the Leased Premises within sixty (60) days after the expiration or sooner termination and make all necessary or appropriate repairs to the Leased Premises resulting from such removal so as to restore the Leased Premises to the condition of said Leased Premises at the time such property was installed, ordinary wear and tear excepted. If Tenant fails to remove all or any portion of the Excluded Property within the aforesaid sixty (60) day period, the Authority may thereafter elect to remove the Excluded Property (or any part thereof) at Tenant’s expense or elect to deem such Excluded Property or any part thereof as abandoned by Tenant to the Authority.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING; RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
 AND LEASE OF AVAILABLE SPACE

 

Section 2101. Subleases and Assignments.

 

(A)  Tenant shall not assign this Lease Agreement or any part thereof in any manner whatsoever or assign any of the privileges recited herein without the prior written consent of the Authority; provided, however that the Authority will not unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment of this Lease Agreement if: (i) Tenant and the proposed assignee can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Authority that the assignee can and shall perform each and every obligation and condition of Tenant under the terms of this Lease Agreement; (ii) the proposed assignee’s use of and the business that the proposed assignee proposes to conduct at the Leased Premises shall be only as provided in Section 206(A) above; (iii) the proposed assignee demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Authority that the proposed assignee will be able to obtain, in a timely manner, all certificates, licenses and permits from all Governmental Entities, required or appropriate to enable the proposed assignee to carry on the proposed assignee’s proposed business at the Leased Premises and to enable the proposed assignee to assume Tenant’s obligations under this Lease Agreement, including without limitation a “repair station certificate” as required under 14 CFR Part 145 (the “145 Certificate”) and an air quality permit from the applicable Governmental Entities; (iv) the proposed assignee assumes Tenant’s then existing contracts and agreements with Tenant’s customers with respect to the Leased Premises if such assumption does not violate any of those contracts or agreements; (v) the proposed assignee shall have submitted to the Authority a current financial statement for the proposed assignee, audited by a certified public accountant, showing that the then-current net worth for the proposed assignee is not less than $100 million; (vi) no Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease has then occurred and is then continuing; and (vii) the proposed assignee shall assume the obligations of Tenant under this Lease by executing, acknowledging and delivering to the Authority, before the effective date of such assignment, a written assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Authority. In the event of an assignment consented to by the Authority, if that assignment and the assignee meet the criteria under subsections (i) through (vii) above, Tenant shall not remain liable to the Authority to perform all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder upon failure of the assignee to perform the same.

 

Section 2102. Subletting. Tenant may, without the Authority’s consent, enter into short­ term subleases of portions of its Occupied Space within the Leased Premises from time to time, as long as (a) the portions of the Occupied Leased Premises that are being subleased by Tenant, at any particular time, do not exceed in the aggregate more than fifty percent (50%) of Tenant’s Occupied space as of that time, (b) any such sublease shall not be for a term of more than twelve (12) consecutive months, and (c) Tenant shall promptly provide the Authority with written notice of such subletting (and such other information as the Authority shall reasonably request in connection therewith) upon Tenant’s entering into any such sublease. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall not sublease or permit any part of the Leased Premises to be occupied by others without the prior written consent of Authority, which consent may be withheld or granted in the Authority’s sole and absolute discretion. In the event of a sublease, Tenant shall remain liable to the Authority to perform all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder upon failure of the subtenant to perform the same. To the extent the Authority’s consent to a subletting is required as described above, the Authority will not unreasonably withhold its consent to a sublease if: (i) Tenant and the proposed subtenant can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Authority that the subtenant can and shall perform each and every obligation and condition of Tenant

 

85

 

under the terms of this Lease Agreement; (ii) the proposed subtenant’s use of and the business that the proposed subtenant proposes to conduct at that portion of the Leased Premises that the subtenant shall be subleasing from Tenant shall be only as provided in Section 206(A) above; (iii) the proposed subtenant demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Authority that the proposed subtenant will be able to obtain, in a timely manner, all certificates, licenses and permits from all Governmental Entities, required or appropriate to enable the proposed subtenant to carry on the proposed subtenant’s proposed business at the Leased Premises and to enable the proposed subtenant to sublease that portion of the Leased Premises from Tenant, including without limitation a “repair station certificate” as required under 14 CFR Part 145 (the “145 Certificate”) and an air quality permit from the applicable Governmental Entities; (iv) no Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease has then occurred and is then continuing; and (v) the form and substance of the proposed subtenant’s sublease shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Authority. The subtenant shall not assign or sublease its sublease except with the prior written approval of the Authority, which may be withheld or granted in the Authority’s sole and absolute discretion; and any sublease shall contain a clause to this effect. If a subletting of all or a portion of the Leased Premises is permitted as described in the first sentence of this Section or is otherwise permitted by the Authority, Tenant shall be obligated for any breach by the subtenant or the subtenant’s Employees, agents, contractors or Invitees, of the Tenant’s obligations and covenants under this Lease.

 

Section 2103. Payments from Assignees, Subtenants or Occupants. If the Leased Premises are sublet or occupied by someone other than Tenant pursuant to Section 2102, all rental and other amounts payable to Tenant by such subtenant or other occupant shall either be included in Tenant’s “Gross Sales”, or shall be deducted from Tenant’s costs and expenses, for purposes of calculating the Percentage Rent to which the Authority is entitled.

 

Section 2104. Mortgages Prohibited. Tenant hereby agrees that there shall be no leasehold lien, mortgage, security interest, claim, charge or other encumbrance granted or permitted by Tenant in or on the Land, the Facilities, the Leased Premises or Tenant’s leasehold estate. However, the preceding sentence shall not be deemed to restrict Tenant from collaterally assigning or granting a security interest in Tenant’s Excluded Property to a third party lender, if the collateral assignment or grant of security interest is being granted by Tenant in the ordinary course of obtaining financing for the day-to-day operation of Tenant’s Business at the Leased Premises.

88

 

director or employee, whether arising at common law or in equity, or created by statute or constitution, are hereby expressly released and waived as a condition of, and as a part of the consideration for, the execution of the Agreement. However, nothing in this Section shall be deemed to waive or release, or limit the personal liability of any trustee, officer, director or employee, past or future, of either party or of any successor thereto, to the extent such Person has any personal liability under applicable Law (such as, by way of example only, personal liability for fraudulent statements or criminal conduct),

 

Section 2211, Covenants Concerning the Other Lease Agreements and Bond Issues. During the Term, except as provided in this Lease Agreement, the Authority shall not take any action to terminate the Site and Facilities Lease Agreement, the Commission Lease Agreement or the ITFA Lease Agreement (collectively, the “Other Lease Agreements”) and shall not take any action or omit to take any action which would constitute a default by it as tenant under the Other Lease Agreements if, as a result thereof, the landlord under the Other Lease Agreements would be entitled to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises. Except as provided in this Lease Agreement, the Authority shall not amend, modify or supplement the Other Lease Agreements, the Tenancy in Common Agreement or any of the Bond Issues, in any way which will adversely affect Tenant’s leasehold rights and interests under this Lease Agreement without the prior written consent of Tenant, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant understands that the Authority may apply all or a portion of the Rentals to pay debt service on the Special Facility Bonds or the other Bond Issues.

Fiscal 2016 Form

 

AAR CORP.

 

Director Restricted Stock Agreement
 (“Agreement”)

 

Subject to the provisions of the AAR CORP. 2013 Stock Plan (“Plan”), the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein, and in consideration of the agreements of the Grantee herein provided, AAR CORP. a Delaware corporation (“Company”), hereby grants to Grantee a restricted stock award (“Award”), effective June 1, 2015 (“Date of Award”), of 5,000 shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company, $1.00 par value (“Award Shares”), subject to the forfeiture and nontransferability provisions hereof and the other terms and conditions set forth herein:

 

1.             Acceptance By Grantee.  The Award is conditioned upon the acceptance by the Grantee of the terms and conditions of the Award as set forth in this Agreement. The Grantee must confirm acceptance of the Award and this Agreement on Morgan Stanley’s web site (www.stockplanconnect.com).  The Company will accept the Award on the Grantee’s behalf in accordance with the instructions on page 4.

 

2.             Restrictions.  The Grantee represents that he is accepting the Award Shares without a view toward distribution of said Award Shares and that he will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber the Award Shares during the period commencing on the Date of Award and ending on the date the restrictions applicable to such Award Shares are released pursuant to paragraph 3 of this Agreement (“Restrictive Period”).

 

3.             Release of Restrictions.  Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 below, the restrictions described in paragraph 2 above shall be released with respect to the Award Shares on the first anniversary of the Date of Award, except as follows:

 

(a)           In General.  If the Grantee’s membership on the Company’s Board of Directors terminates prior to the last day of the Restrictive Period for any reason other than Retirement, death or Disability, the Grantee shall forfeit to the Company all Award Shares not previously released from the restrictions of paragraph 2 hereof.

 

(b)           Retirement.  If the Grantee’s membership on the Company’s Board of Directors terminates by reason of Retirement prior to the last day of the Restrictive Period, the Restrictive Period shall terminate in accordance with the restriction release schedule set forth above in the first clause of this paragraph 3 as to the Award Shares not previously released; provided, however, that if the Grantee dies after Retirement and prior to the last day of the Restrictive Period, the Grantee’s date of death will be treated as the date on which his membership on the Company’s Board of Directors has terminated, and the provisions of paragraph 3(c) shall apply in determining the release of restrictions as to the Award Shares not previously released. For purposes of this Agreement, “Retirement” means the Grantee’s voluntary termination of membership on the Company’s Board of Directors at or after attaining age 65 with five or more consecutive years of service as a non-employee member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

 

(c)           Death or Disability.  If the Grantee’s membership on the Company’s Board of Directors terminates by reason of death or Disability, the Restrictive Period shall terminate on the date of such death or Disability. For this purpose, “Disability” means the inability of the Grantee to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

 

(d)           Restrictive Covenant.  If at any time prior to the Award Shares’ release from the restrictions hereunder, the Grantee, without the Company’s express written consent, directly or indirectly, alone or as a member of a partnership, group, or joint venture or as an employee, officer, director, or greater than 1% stockholder of any corporation, or in any capacity engages in any activity which is competitive with any of the businesses conducted by the Company or its affiliated companies at any time during the Grantee’s membership on the Company’s Board of Directors, the Grantee shall forfeit to the Company all Award Shares not previously released from the restrictions of paragraph 2 hereof.

 

4.             Change in Control.  In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, and the Grantee’s membership on the Company’s Board of Directors ends on or after the Change in Control but prior to the last day of the Restrictive Period, then notwithstanding any conditions or restrictions contained in this Agreement, the Restrictive Period shall terminate as to all Award Shares not previously released.

 

5.             Change in Outstanding Shares.  In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock occurring through stock splits, stock dividends, stock consolidations, spin-offs, other distributions of assets to stockholders or assumption or conversion of outstanding Awards due to an acquisition after the Date of Award, the Award Shares shall be treated in the same manner in any such transaction as other shares of Common Stock. Any additional shares of Common Stock received by the Grantee with respect to the Award Shares in any such transaction shall be subject to the same restrictions as are then applicable to those Award Shares for which the additional shares have been issued.

 

6.             Rights of Grantee.  As the holder of the Award Shares, the Grantee is entitled to all of the rights of a stockholder of AAR CORP. with respect to any of the Award Shares, when issued, including, but not limited to, the right to receive dividends declared and payable since the Date of Award.

 

7.             Shares.  In aid of the restrictions set forth in paragraph 2, the Grantee will be required to execute a stock power in favor of the Company which will be cancelled upon release of restrictions with respect to Award Shares released. Award Shares shall be held by the Company in electronic book entry form on the records of the Company’s Transfer Agent, together with the executed stock power, for the account of the Grantee until such restrictions are released pursuant to the terms hereof, or such Award Shares are forfeited to the Company as provided by the Plan or this Agreement. The Grantee shall be entitled to the Award Shares as to which such restrictions have been released, and the Company agrees to issue such Award Shares in electronic form on the records of the Transfer Agent. Upon request by the Grantee, the Transfer Agent will transfer such released Award Shares in electronic form to the Grantee’s

broker for the Grantee’s account or issue certificates in the name of the Grantee representing the Award Shares for which restrictions have been released.

 

8.             Legend.  The Company may, in its discretion, place a legend or legends on any electronic shares or certificates representing Award Shares issued to the Grantee that the Company believes is required to comply with any law or regulation.

 

9.             Committee Powers.  The Committee may subject the Award Shares to such conditions, limitations or restrictions as the Committee determines to be necessary or desirable to comply with any law or regulation or with the requirements of any securities exchange. At any time during the Restrictive Period, the Committee may reduce or terminate the Restrictive Period otherwise applicable to all or any portion of the Award Shares.

 

10.          Postponement of Distribution.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the distribution of any portion of the Award Shares shall be subject to action by the Board taken at any time in its sole discretion (i) to effect, amend or maintain any necessary registration of the Plan or the Award Shares distributable in satisfaction of this Award under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the securities laws of any applicable jurisdiction, (ii) to permit any action to be taken in order to (a) list such Award Shares on a stock exchange if the Common Stock is then listed on such exchange or (b) comply with restrictions or regulations incident to the maintenance of a public market for its Shares of Common Stock, including any rules or regulations of any stock exchange on which the Award Shares are listed, or (iii) to determine that such Award Shares and the Plan are exempt from such registration or that no action of the kind referred to in (ii)(b) above needs to be taken; and the Company shall not be obligated by virtue of any terms and conditions of this Award or any provision of this Agreement or the Plan to issue or release the Award Shares in violation of the Securities Act of 1933 or the law of any government having jurisdiction thereof. Any such postponement shall not shorten the term of any restriction attached to the Award Shares and neither the Company nor its directors or officers shall have any obligation or liability to the Grantee or to any other person as to which issuance under the Award Shares was delayed.

 

11.          Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           The Award and this Agreement shall be construed, administered and governed in all respects under and by the laws of the State of Illinois.

 

(b)           Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein will have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

 

(c)           This Agreement has been examined by the parties hereto, and accordingly the rule of construction that ambiguities be construed against a party which causes a document to be drafted shall have no application in the construction or interpretation hereof. If any part of this Agreement is held invalid for any reason, the remainder hereof shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

 

(d)           This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and any prior understanding or representation of any kind antedating this Agreement concerning such subject matter shall not be binding upon either party

(e)           This Agreement shall be construed consistent with the provisions of the Plan and in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control and any terms of this Agreement which conflict with Plan terms shall be void.
