RENT, FEES AND CHARGES

 

In addition to any other fees, general charges or other amounts set forth elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant shall pay when due the following fees and amounts for the privilege of occupying the Premises:

 

 

5.1

Rent and Revenue Share

 

 

5.1.1

Rent

 

 

a.

Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Rent as set forth in Section 1. Rent shall be due and payable in advance in twelve equal monthly payments on the first (1st) day of every month in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5 herein and is subject to adjustment as required by Section 5.2.

 

 

b.

For the period between April 1, 2024 and the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay rent of $119,375. Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the first (1st) day of the month in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5 herein.

 

 

c.

Effective the first day of the month following receipt of Certificate of Occupancy for the Leasehold Improvements as stated in Exhibit G, Tenant’s Rent shall be the greater of $3,122,661 or the current year’s Adjusted Rent. The Rent shall at no time fall below the previous year’s Rent. Rent shall be due and payable in advance in twelve equal monthly payments on the first (1st) day of every month in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5 herein and is subject to adjustment annually as required by Section 5.2.

 

Page 21 of 109

 

 

5.1.2

Revenue Share

 

Commencing upon the receipt Certificate of Occupancy for the Leasehold Improvements set forth in Exhibit G, Tenant shall pay the City a fifty percent (50%) revenue share for hangar rental rates within the Leasehold Premises that exceed fifty-three dollars ($53.00) per square foot (“Revenue Share Threshold”). For purposes of illustration, Tenant enters into a sublease for the hangar or a portion of the hangar at the rent of $76 per square foot, then the revenue share would be calculated as $11.50 per square foot (($76-53=23)/2=$11.50). Revenue Share shall be reported monthly in accordance with Section 5.5 and payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5. The Revenue Share Threshold shall increase in accordance with the Rent as set forth in Section 5.2.

 

 

5.2

Percentage Increase Adjustment

 

 

5.2.1

Annual Adjustment to Rent and Revenue Share Threshold

The Rent and Revenue Share Threshold shall be subject to adjustment (“Adjusted Rent”) on each anniversary of the Commencement Date ("Percentage Increase Adjustment Date and “Adjusted Revenue Share Threshold”) and thereafter by an amount equivalent to the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). The Adjusted Interim Base Rent will be calculated according to the following:

 

The Base Figure for computing the Adjusted Rent shall be the CPI for All Urban Consumers, All Items, for the San Francisco-Oakland– Hayward (1982-84 = 100), as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. S. Department of Labor for the month one year prior to the Percentage Increase Adjustment Date. In the event that the CPI is not published for the applicable month, the Base Figure shall be the next succeeding CPI published.

 

The Index Figure for computing the Adjusted Rent shall be the CPI for All Urban Consumers, All Items, for the San Francisco-Oakland- Hayward (1982-84 = 100), as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor as of the Percentage Increase Adjustment Date. In the event that the CPI is not published for the applicable month, the Index Figure shall be the next succeeding CPI published.

 

For each Percentage Increase Adjustment Date, if the Index Figure has increased over the Base Figure, the Adjusted Interim Base Rent payable shall be determined by calculating the percentage increase of the Index Figure over the Base Figure. For example, assuming the Base Figure is 110 and the Index Figure is 121, the percentage increase is 121/110 = 1.10 = 110%. That percentage shall be applied to the Rent last in effect to calculate the Adjusted Rent for the annual period beginning on the Percentage Increase Adjustment Date.

 

Page 22 of 109

 

Regardless of any year-to-year or cumulative decrease in the CPI during the Term of this Lease, in no event shall any subsequent Adjusted Rent or Adjusted Revenue Share Threshold effective for any Percentage Increase Adjustment Date be less than the Rent or Revenue Share Threshold as of the immediately preceding Rent Date (or Percentage Increase Adjustment Date, as applicable);

 

In the event that (i) a year-to-year or cumulative decrease occurs in the CPI during the Term of this Lease; and (ii) the application of the formula above would result in an Adjusted Rent or Adjusted Revenue Share Threshold that is less than the Rent as or Revenue Share Threshold of the immediately preceding Rent Date (or Percentage Increase Adjustment Date, as applicable); then (iii) the then- current Interim Base Rent or Revenue Share Threshold shall remain in effect until the next Percentage Increase Adjustment Date.

 

Alternative Index: The index for the Percentage Increase Adjustment Date shall be the one reported in the U.S. Department of Labor’s most comprehensive official index then in use and most nearly answering the foregoing description of the index to be used. If it is calculated from a base different from the base period (1982-84=100) used for the base figure above, the base figure used for calculating the adjustment percentage shall first be converted under a formula supplied by the Bureau. If the above-described Department of Labor index is no longer published, another index generally recognized as authoritative shall be substituted by the Director at the Director’s sole discretion.

 

 

5.3

Security Deposit

 

Tenant shall deposit and maintain with City upon execution of this Lease a security deposit in an amount, equal to three (3) months’ Rent and any years Adjusted Rent or any other amount as determined by the Director. The initial deposit shall be in the amount as specified in Section 1, against which the City may deduct any delinquent or unpaid fees, costs or charges (including but not limited to rent and badging fees and any late payment fees and the charges stated in this Lease) resulting from Tenant’s operations at the Airport, to ensure prompt payment of required rent, fees and charges. The Security Deposit shall be in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit or any other surety form as approved by the Director. The letter of credit shall be an irrevocable letter of credit, substantially in the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit F. The Director may adjust such deposit amount requirement from time to time upon a determination that the revised deposit satisfies the lease requirements and provides adequate protection to the City and the Airport.

 

Page 23 of 109

 

All banking charges with respect to the letter of credit shall be at the sole expense of Tenant. No later than thirty (30) days after each Percentage Increase Adjustment date, Tenant shall increase the Security Deposit to equal six months of the then-applicable Adjusted Rent.

 

If the Director adjusts the amount of the Security Deposit or deducts any delinquent or unpaid rent, fees, costs or charges (including late payments) from the Security Deposit, Tenant shall promptly replenish the deposit to the full amount required by the Director, within thirty (30) days of a written demand by Director. Tenant’s failure to so replenish the Security Deposit shall constitute an Event of Default, which entitles the City to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 12 of this Lease. The City shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. Any amounts remaining from the Security Deposit (after deductions for delinquent or unpaid rent, fees, costs, or charges as specified above) at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (as it may be extended or renewed) shall be returned to Tenant, without interest, after a determination by the Director that all amounts owed to City under this Lease have either been paid in full or have been deducted from the Security Deposit.

 

 

5.4

Activity Fees

If, at any time during the Term, Tenant should use the Premises, or any portion thereof, or (with permission of the Director) any other land or facilities of the Airport for any purpose, use or activity for which Persons using any land or facilities thereof are or shall then be required by City to pay Activity Fees, then in that event Tenant shall pay to City, in addition to the Rent and Revenue Share, charges or other fees for the privilege of using the Lease Premises or other Airport land or facilities for such purpose, such Activity Fees as may at such time be charged by City for the use of any Airport land or facilities for such other purpose, use or activity. The term Activity Fee(s) shall, for purposes of this Lease, be deemed to include landing fees for any charter operations conducted by Tenant, (if applicable) but shall not otherwise be deemed to include fees or charges imposed upon Tenant’s activities which Tenant is authorized to conduct on the Leased Premises pursuant to this Lease; except that Tenant may be required to pay Fuel Flowage Fees to City. City agrees that any and all such Activity Fees shall be applied on a non-discriminatory basis to all such users of the Airport.

 

 

5.4.1

Fuel Flowage Fees

In addition to any other Activity Fees which Tenant is required to pay to City pursuant to Section 5.5 above, City may assess Fuel Flowage Fees for any retailing or delivery of fuel petroleum products by Tenant pursuant to the Minimum Standards and Tenant’s fueling permit, and as provided for in the Airport General Fee Resolution #76438 (adopted September 18, 2012), and as may be amended.

 

Page 24 of 109

 

 

5.4.2

Noise and Safety Program Fees

City has established a Noise and Safety Program for all general aviation Tenants and licensees at the Airport. The costs of the Program are allocable to aircraft users of the Airport which are based on Airport land which City leases to general aviation Tenants (e.g. fixed based operators and corporate flight departments) and shall be allocated on a per aircraft basis for all aircraft based on the Tenant’s premises. Tenant shall pay to City, for each aircraft based on the Premises, the following fee for the Noise and Safety Program: Twenty-Two dollars and seventy cents ($22.70) per year or $1.90 per month or such other rate as approved by the City Council which may be adjusted from time to time. Tenant will provide a monthly report in form and content acceptable to the Director, no later than the fifth (5th) day of each month listing aircraft (i) owned by Tenant and based at the Premises, and (ii) those not owned by Tenant, which are based at the Premises. A delinquent report fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per day or such other amount as may established by City Council resolution will be assessed if the report is not received by City after the fifth (5th) calendar day of the month.

 

 

5.4.3

Monthly Activity and Revenue Share Report

 

On or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month following commencement of normal business operations at the Premises, Tenant shall provide to the Director a monthly activity report for all Activity Fees, in such form and detail as the Director may require. For Fuel Flowage Fees, the Monthly Activity Report shall set forth at a minimum, the total amount of gallons of fuel purchased at wholesale and date of purchase, and the retail price of fuel at time of retail sale or delivery, for the past monthly period.

 

On or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month following the Certificate of Occupancy of the Leasehold Improvements for the buildout of the additional hangar, Tenant shall provide to the Director a monthly separate written report (“Revenue Share Report”) that includes the amount of square feet of hangar space leased for the month prior and amount charged per square foot. City shall have the right to rely on said Revenue Share Report in determining Revenue Share charges due hereunder. Tenant shall have full responsibility for the accuracy of said reports.

 

If the monthly activity and Revenue Share Report is not provided on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month as required herein, Tenant shall pay as a delinquency fee for administrative expenses incurred by City for delays and invoices, an amount (established by City Council resolution) per day that the report is late until such date as the monthly activity report is submitted to the Director.

7.1.2

  Minimum Capital Investment

It is expressly agreed and understood that Tenant is leasing the Premises with the intention of developing and constructing the Leasehold Improvements on the Premises in accordance with Plans and Specifications as specified in this Section 7. It is expressly agreed and understood that the Leasehold Improvements to be constructed by Tenant shall, at a minimum, include those structures and improvements as described as Tenant’s initial Leasehold Improvements on EXHIBIT G attached hereto, and that Tenant shall expend no less than an amount equal to Eight Million One Hundred Sixteen Thousand Three Hundred Ninety Two Dollars ($8,116,392) (the “Minimum Capital Investment”) to develop such Leasehold Improvements at Tenant’s and/or its subtenant(s) sole cost and expense. As used herein, “Minimum Capital Investment” shall mean and include the following Leasehold Improvements costs and expenditures made by Tenant and/or its subtenant(s): (a) predevelopment costs (survey, title insurance, real estate broker fees, environmental assessment and remediation), planning and design fees, legal and accounting costs, permits, and soft construction costs, which combined shall not exceed 15% of the Minimum Capital Investment; and (b) hard construction costs (including demolition, excavation, grading and construction on the Premises and general contractor overhead and profit), which combined shall not be less than 85% of the Minimum Capital Investment. The Minimum Capital Improvement expenditure shall be expended on the approved Improvements constructed by Tenant. If the stated minimum is not expended, Tenant shall pay to City an amount equal to 150% of the difference, if any, between the Minimum Capital Improvement Expenditure and its actual investment upon the first day of the sixteen (16th) year of the Lease. Tenant shall only be responsible for Minimum Capital Improvements and the Minimum Capital Improvement Expenditure if Tenant receives all necessary approvals from all authorities having jurisdiction to construct the Leasehold Improvements and actually constructs the Leasehold Improvements.

7.1.3

Documentation of Minimum Capital Investment

Within ninety (90) days after the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Leasehold Improvements, Tenant shall provide to the Director documentation, in such form and detail as the Director may reasonably require, sufficient to establish that Tenant and/or its subtenant(s) has expended the Minimum Capital Investment on the Leasehold Improvements. The Director may, in his discretion, extend the time for submitting said documentation by written notice to Tenant, and may require submittal of additional documentation. In the event that the Director determines that Tenant and/or its subtenant(s) have failed to either: (a) expend the total Minimum Capital Investment for the Leasehold Improvements; or (b) meet the required 85/15 percent allocation between hard construction costs and predevelopment costs for the Leasehold Improvements, the Director shall notify Tenant of any such deficiency promptly following Director’s receipt of the documentation supporting such costs from Tenant. If the Director notifies Tenant that there was a deficiency in the costs expended in the construction of the Leasehold Improvements, Tenant shall have through the 16th year from the Commencement Date to expend (and/or cause its subtenant(s) to expend) the amount of any such deficiency on additional improvements, additions, or betterments to the Leasehold Improvements, subject to all of the provisions of this Section 7. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of said sixteenth (16) year from the Commencement Date, provide further documentation to the Director sufficient to establish that Tenant and/or its subtenant(s) have expended the amount of any such deficiency on additional improvements, additions, or betterments to the Leasehold Improvements. If the Director determines, after such further documentation has been provided, that Tenant has failed to expend (and/or cause its subtenant(s) to expend) the Minimum Capital Investment on additional improvements, additions or betterments to the Leasehold Improvements, then the Director shall promptly provide written notice to Tenant of the amount of such continuing deficiency, and Tenant shall have thirty (30) days from the date of such notice to pay to City an amount equal to the difference between the Minimum Capital Investment and the actual sum expended. Payment of said sum as required herein shall be deemed to be additional Base Rent due and payable within said thirty (30) day period, and shall be subject to the payment provisions of Section 5 of this Lease.

7.4.2

Progress of Work (Initial Leasehold Improvements)

Promptly after Tenant’s receipt of all required construction permits for the Leasehold Improvements, Tenant shall present adequate documentation as outlined by the department of Aviation to allow the Director to issue its notice to proceed in accordance with Section 7.4.1 and the requirements of this Lease and to ensure timely completion of the initial Leasehold Improvements in accordance with the approved Plans and Specifications.

If Tenant, for any reason, fails to comply with any of City's requirements or any other applicable Law concerning Tenant’s construction of the Leasehold Improvements, City shall give Tenant written notice of such failure and shall have the right to require Tenant, at Tenant's sole expense, to alter, repair, or replace any non-compliant portion of the Leasehold Improvements within thirty (30) days of such notice, or such additional time as may be reasonably necessary provided Tenant commences the correction of such failure within thirty (30) days of receiving such notice and thereafter diligently pursues correction of such failure to completion. In the event that Tenant fails to perform any such replacements, alterations or repairs after notice and demand from City and the passage of such cure period, City may, in its sole discretion, thereafter cure such failure and cause such replacements, alterations, or repairs to be made or perform any other required action as shall bring the Leasehold Improvements into compliance with any applicable Laws. Tenant agrees to promptly reimburse City for such costs, plus ten percent (10%) thereof for administrative overhead as such percentage is approved and established from time to time by the City Council. In the event that after giving such notice to Tenant and the passage of such cure period City declines to cure such failure and cause the required replacements, alterations or repairs to be performed, City may, in its sole discretion, declare this Lease in default, terminate this Lease pursuant to the termination for default provisions in Section 12 of this Lease.

In the event of Tenant’s failure to (i) provide the Director with the documentation necessary for the Director to issue a Notice to Proceed or (ii) complete construction of the Leasehold Improvements as provided in Section 7.4.2 above (other than a Force Majeure Event) and such failure is the result of matters within the reasonable control of the Tenant, the Director shall notify the Tenant in writing of such failure and the Tenant shall have thirty (30) days to remedy such delay. If Tenant fails to remedy such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Director, such failure shall be considered an Event of Default hereunder, and, in addition to any remedy under Section12.2 hereof, City shall have the right, upon seven (7) days written notice to Tenant, to take over the management, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, of Tenant's construction of the Leasehold Improvements.

If after commencing any Work on the Leasehold Improvements, Tenant (without the Director’s prior written consent) ceases such Work for thirty (30) continuous days (other than cessation of Work due to a Force Majeure Event), such cessation of Work shall be an Event of Default hereunder, and, in addition to any remedy under Section 12.2 hereof, City shall have the right, upon seven (7) days written notice to the Tenant, to take over the management, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, of Tenant’s construction of the Leasehold Improvements.

Tenant has carefully examined the Premises and is satisfied with the current condition, subject to any improvements to be constructed by Tenant in accordance with Section 7. Tenant acknowledges that no representation or warranty has been made by City concerning the nature, quality or suitability of the Premises or the Airport for Tenant’s business, or the existence of any Hazardous Materials in, on, upon, under or about the Premises or the airport, and Tenant acknowledges that it shall have no rights against City by reason of such matters or any claimed deficiencies therein. Tenant accepts the Premises “as is”, and as being in good, safe and sanitary condition satisfactory for Tenant’s use.

A transfer within the meaning of this Section shall include, but is not limited to, the following: (i) the incorporation of an individual Tenant and the transfer of Tenant's rights hereunder to the corporation which is not wholly owned by Tenant; (ii) in the event that Tenant is a partnership, incorporation of Tenant and transfer of Tenant's rights hereunder to the corporation, or the withdrawal or addition of any partner to Tenant's partnership; (iii) in the event that Tenant consists of co-tenants, the incorporation of Tenant and transfer of its rights hereunder to the corporation, or the voluntary or involuntary transfer by any one or more co- tenants of his, her or its rights hereunder to his, her or its co-tenant or to a third person; (iv) in the event that Tenant is a corporation, the change in the ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the capital stock of Tenant; and (v) in the event that Tenant is an unincorporated association, the incorporation of Tenant and the transfer of its rights hereunder to the corporation, or the change in fifty percent (50%) or more of the membership of the association.

 

 

11.2

Factors for City to Consider

In determining whether to consent to such a transfer, City may consider, without limitation: (i) the financial condition and responsibility of the proposed transferee; (ii) the type of activity proposed to be conducted by such transferee at the Airport; (iii) the capabilities and expertise of the proposed transferee to manage and operate the proposed activity; (iv) the past service record of the proposed transferee, (v) references of the proposed transferee; and (vi) any cost to City associated with such proposed transfer.

 

Reasonable grounds for denying consent shall include any of the following: (i) the proposed transferee’s intended use of the Premises is not for an aviation-related purpose or will materially and adversely affect the City’s interests at the Airport; (ii) the proposed transferee’s financial condition is or may be inadequate to support its obligations under the Lease; (iii) the proposed transferee has failed to meet any legal or contractual obligations to the City or is adverse to the City in any pending litigation; (iv) the proposed use of the Premises is not consistent with the with the Authorized Activities contemplated herein; or (v) the proposed Transferee has failed to meet the minimum qualifications set forth in City’s RFP SJC232431.

 

In addition, City's consent to any proposed transfer under this Lease may be conditioned upon, among other things, the express written assumption by the proposed transferee of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and/or performance of required or necessary repairs or maintenance to the Premises.

11.3

Processing Fee

City may require payment by Tenant of any processing fee established by City pursuant to a resolution or ordinance for reviewing the proposed transfer and preparing any documents in connection therewith. Tenant's failure to provide City with full, complete and necessary information, or to pay the processing fee, shall be sufficient cause for City to deny consent to, or to refuse to review, the proposed transfer.

 

 

11.4

Consent Does not Constitute Waiver

The consent of City to any transfer described in this Section shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to obtain the further consent of City for any subsequent transfer. Any attempt to transfer without the consent of City shall be void, and shall constitute an Event of Default.

 

 

11.5

Assignment to Affiliate

Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease, or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, without the consent of the City, to any entity which is a parent or subsidiary of Tenant (“Affiliate”). Tenant shall give the City written notice of such assignment of this Lease to an Affiliate within thirty (30) days of the assignment or sublease.

 

 

11.6

Subleasing

City acknowledges and consents to the Tenant’s subletting of the Premises or a portion of the Premises for the purpose of renting hangars for aircraft storage (including ancillary office space and maintenance space), provided that each sublease is in writing and is subordinate to the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall provide copies of all subleases. Any such sublease shall not be subject to processing fees by the City.

 

 

11.7

Mortgage of Leasehold Estate

 

(a)

With the prior consent of the City, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant may convey, pledge or encumber, by deed of trust, mortgage or similar instrument (the “Approved Leasehold Mortgage”), its leasehold interest in and to the Premises in favor of a lender (the “Approved Leasehold Mortgagee”), and Tenant may assign this Lease as collateral security for such Approved Leasehold Mortgage. Any such Approved Leasehold Mortgage, and all rights under or relating thereto, shall be subject to each of the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth herein, and to all rights of the City hereunder and will always be subordinate to the rights of the City under this Lease and the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall in no event become personally liable to perform the obligations of Tenant under this Lease unless and until the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee becomes the owner of the leasehold estate pursuant to foreclosure, transfer in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise, and thereafter said Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall remain liable for such obligations only so long as such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee remains the owner of the leasehold estate. Tenant shall be responsible for payment of all of the City’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in reviewing any proposed Approved Leasehold Mortgage hereunder.

 

Page 45 of 109

 

 

(b)

If an Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall give the City notice of such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee’s interest in the Premises and such notice shall contain the address to which notices to such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee are to be sent, the City will thereafter send to such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, at the address so given, and in the manner set forth in this Lease, a copy of any notice of default which the City may thereafter deliver or send to Tenant. Within the time permitted for the curing or commencing the curing of any default under this Lease, such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, at its option, may pay any amount due or do any other act or thing required of Tenant by the terms of this Lease, and all amounts so paid or other acts so done by such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall be as effective to cure such default as the same would have been if paid or done by Tenant.

 

 

(c)

An Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall not become liable for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease unless and until such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee becomes the owner of the leasehold estate established hereby by foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or if such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee gives notice to The City that such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee will assume Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. An Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall remain liable for the obligations of Tenant under this Lease only for so long as it remains the owner of the leasehold estate established hereby.

 

 

(d)

If any default or event of default occurs under an Approved Leasehold Mortgage, the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee and Tenant shall immediately notify The City of the same in writing.

 

 

(e)

If a non-monetary default by Tenant under this Lease is susceptible of being cured by an Approved Leasehold Mortgagee only after such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee has obtained possession of the Premises, then an Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall have an additional period not to exceed thirty (30) days to cure a non-monetary default after obtaining possession of the Premises; provided, however, that (i) such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee initiated all necessary actions to obtain possession of the Premises, including the initiation of foreclosure proceedings under its Approved Leasehold Mortgage, within thirty (30) days after the earlier of the date on which such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee became aware of such non-monetary default or the date on which such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee received notice from the City of such non-monetary default; (ii) such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall have pursued such actions with reasonable diligence; (iii) such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, within any applicable cure period provided in this Lease, shall have paid all Rent and other sums then due to The City under this Lease; and (iv) such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall have cured any other defaults by Tenant under this Lease that are susceptible of being cured by such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee without obtaining possession of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights granted to an Approved Leasehold Mortgagee in this Article shall not impair any right granted to the City in this Lease (a) to perform any obligations under this Lease that Tenant is required, but fails, to perform, and (b) to obtain reimbursement from Tenant of the City’s costs and expenses incurred in so performing and, subject to rights granted to an Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, to declare an Event of Default if Tenant fails so to reimburse within any applicable cure period.

 

Page 46 of 109

 

 

(f)

Tenant shall be permitted to finance the design, construction and operation of the Tenant Improvements through a Private Activity Bond (“PAB”). The City shall provide customary consents and all related approvals required in connection with a PAB issuance and leasehold mortgage as part of the PAB financing program, which will be provided at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Any lien created to secure such financing or any other debt undertaken by Tenant shall be secured by Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Lease and the Tenant Improvements and shall not be secured by the fee interest in the Premises. IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT TENANT’S FINANCING OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH PAB IS SOLELY THE DEBT OF TENANT AND SHALL NOT RESULT IN ANY FINANCIAL BURDEN OR OBLIGATION OF THE CITY IN ANY MANNER, INCLUDING ANY COST OR EXPENSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TEFRA HEARING OR ANY OTHER CONSENT OR APPROVAL REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED BY THE CITY. Lienholders through PAB financing described herein shall be included within the definition of Approved Leasehold Mortgagee.

 

 

(g)

If this Lease is terminated for Tenant’s breach before the end of the Term, for any reason other than a default that has not been cured by Tenant or Approved Leasehold Mortgagee within the period specified, including, without limitation, as a result of a rejection or disaffirmation of the Lease in a bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding affecting creditor’s rights then City shall provide a copy of the termination notice to the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee. Upon the written request of Approved Leasehold Mortgagee made any time within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice from City, City shall agree to enter into a new lease of the Premises with Approved Leasehold Mortgagee for the remainder of the Term of the Lease upon the same covenants, conditions, limitations and agreements contain in the Lease, except for such provisions which must be modified to reflect any such termination, rejection or disaffirmance and the passage of time, provided, that, in the event of any such termination, rejection or disaffirmance, Approved Leasehold Mortgagee (or such successor or assign) (A) shall pay to The City, simultaneously with the delivery of such new lease, all unpaid amounts due under the Lease up to and including the date of the commencement of the term of such new lease and all reasonable and substantiated expenses incurred by City to prepare such new lease, and (B) otherwise shall cure all other defaults under the Lease promptly and with due diligence after the delivery of such new lease. If The City does not enter into a new lease with the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, then the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall immediately remove all trade fixtures and other personal property from the Premises and repair to The City’s reasonable satisfaction, any damage caused to the Premises by the removal. The Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall not remove or tamper with any Leasehold Improvement on the Premises.

 

Page 47 of 109

 

 

(h)

Tenant’s present and future Approved Leasehold Mortgagee and any present and future mortgagees or similar beneficiaries are intended third party beneficiaries to this section. As third-party beneficiaries, they are entitled to the applicable rights under and may enforce the provisions of this section of the Lease as if they were parties thereto.

 

 

(i)

Nothing contained herein shall release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease that may not have been discharged or fully performed by an Approved Leasehold Mortgagee.

Remedies

 

Upon an “Event of Default”, City shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law, equity or otherwise under this Lease, to which City may resort cumulatively, or in the alternative:

 

 

A.

City may, at any time with notice and without any obligation to do so (implied or otherwise), and upon condition that it be for the account and at the expense of the Tenant, and without a waiver of such breach, perform any act which if performed by Tenant would otherwise cure the breach. If in so doing City is required or elects to pay any monies or do any acts which will require the payment of any monies or the incurring of any costs or expenses, Tenant covenants to pay to City upon demand by City the sum or sums of money paid or incurred by City, together with interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month plus costs and damages, as part of its rental fee due on the first (1st) day of the month which immediately follows City's demand therefor. The demand for any payment by City shall be prima facie evidence that the expense incurred was necessary and reasonable and that such expense was incurred by City on behalf of Tenant.

 

 

B.

City may, at its election, terminate this Lease upon written notice of termination in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date set forth in such notice. Any termination under this paragraph shall not relieve Tenant from the payment of any sums then due to City or from any claim for damages or rent previously accrued or then accruing against Tenant. In no event shall any one or more of the following actions by City, in the absence of a written election by City to terminate this Lease, constitute a termination of this Lease:

 

Page 50 of 109

 

 

(i)

Appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect City's interest hereunder; or

 

 

(ii)

Any other action by City or its agents intended to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, including, without limitation, action to maintain and preserve the Premises or any action taken to relet the Premises or any portions thereof for the account of Tenant and in the name of Tenant.

 

 

C.

This Lease shall not terminate following an Event of Default and an abandonment of the Premises unless City gives Tenant written notice of its election to terminate this Lease. No act by or on behalf of City intended to mitigate the adverse effect of such breach, including those described by the immediately preceding subparagraphs (i) and (ii), shall constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession unless City gives Tenant written notice of termination.

 

 

D.

In the event City terminates this Lease, City shall be entitled to damages in the following sums:

 

 

(i)

The worth at the time of award of all unpaid rental fees and other fees which have been earned at the time of termination;

 

 

(ii)

The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rental fees and other fees which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental fee or other fee loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;

 

 

(iii)

Any other amount necessary to compensate City for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, the following: (a) reasonable expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring the Premises; (b) reasonable expenses for altering, remodeling or otherwise improving the Premises for the purpose of reletting, including installation of leasehold improvements (whether such installation be funded by a reduction of rent, direct payment or allowance to tenant, or otherwise); (c) reasonable costs of carrying the Premises such as insurance premiums thereon, utilities and security precautions; (d) reasonable expenses in retaking possession of the property; and (e) late payment fees and court costs.

 

Page 51 of 109

 

 

(iv)

The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above is computed by allowing interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in subparagraph (iii) above is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

 

 

E.

No payment by Tenant, or receipt by City, of a lesser amount than any rent, fee, charge or other amount due by Tenant hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest rent, fee, charge or other amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check from Tenant, or letter accompanying any check or payment, be deemed an accord and satisfaction. City may accept any such check or payment without prejudice to City's right to recover the balance of such rent, fee, charge or other amount or to pursue any other right or remedy available to City.

 

 

F.

No option, right, power, remedy or privilege of City shall be construed as being exhausted or discharged by the exercise thereof in one or more instances.

 

 

13

WAIVER OF BREACH

 

The waiver by City of any breach of any term, covenant, condition or provision herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of such term, covenant or condition. The consent or approval by City to any act of Tenant requiring City's approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the need for City's consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act of Tenant. The subsequent acceptance of any fee, rent or charges hereunder by City shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent, fee or charge so accepted, regardless of City's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of the accepting of such rent, fee or charge. No waiver, consent or approval by City shall be effective unless made by a duly authorized representative of City.

INDEMNITY AND WAIVER OF CLAIM

 

 

14.1

Indemnification

 

Tenant, for and on behalf of its directors, officers, employees and agents, covenants and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless City, its officers, employees, contractors and agents, from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, obligations, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses, penalties, suits or judgments, at any time received, incurred or accrued by City, its officers, agents, employees, contractors or members of the public using Airport facilities, arising out of or resulting in whole or in part from any act (or failure to act) of Tenant, its officers, employees, contractors, agents, permittees or invitees, or which results from their noncompliance with any Laws respecting the condition, use, occupation or safety of the Premises or any part thereof, or which arises from Tenant’s Authorized Activities or which arises from Tenant's failure to do anything required under this Lease, except as may arise from the sole active negligence or the willful misconduct of City, its officers, employees or agents. City's right to full indemnity hereunder shall arise notwithstanding that principles of joint, several or concurrent liability or comparative negligence, might otherwise impose liability on City pursuant to statutes, ordinances, regulations or other Laws. All of Tenant’s obligations under this Section are intended to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law and shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. In an action or claim against City in which Tenant is defending City, City shall have the right to approve legal counsel providing City’s defense. The provisions of Section 31 regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”) shall not limit Tenant’s indemnification under this provision.

 

The indemnification obligations of Tenant shall include the obligation of Tenant to defend, indemnify, protect and hold harmless City, its officers, agents or employees, from and against fines, costs, claims, damages, obligations, suits, judgments, penalties, proceedings, causes of action, losses, liabilities or costs arising under the ADA, which arise from Tenant’s activities under this Lease.

 

 

14.2

Assumption of Risk

 

Tenant agrees to and covenants that it shall voluntarily assume any and all risk of loss, damage or injury to the person or property of Tenant, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and contractors which may occur in, on, or about the Premises or the Airport at any time and in any manner, except such loss, injury, or damage as may be caused by the sole active negligence or the willful misconduct of City, its officers, employees or agents.

 

Page 53 of 109

 

 

14.3

Waiver of Claim

 

Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to be rendered to City under this Lease, hereby waives all claims or causes of action against City, its officers, agents, contractors or employees which it may now or hereafter have for damage to its operations (including, without limitation, any interruption thereof), or to goods, wares, merchandise or other property on or about the Premises, and for injuries or death to persons on or about the Premises, from any cause or causes arising at any time, except as may arise from the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of City, its officers, agents or employees.

 

By way of example and not limitation, save and except as arises out of the sole active negligence or the willful misconduct of City, its officers, agents, contractors or employees, Tenant hereby waives any and all claims or causes of action which it may now or hereafter have against City, its officers, agents, contractors or employees (a) for loss, injury or damage sustained by reason of any deficiency, impairment and interruption of any water, electrical, gas, plumbing, air conditioning or sewer service or system serving any portion of the Airport; (b) for any loss, injury or damage arising or resulting from any negligent act or omission of any other tenant, subtenant, contractor, airline or occupant of the Airport, or any person who uses the Airport with or without the authorization or permission of City; (c) from the flight of any aircraft of any kind and all kinds in, through, across or about any portion of the airspace above the Airport; (d) from noise, vibration, currents and other effects of air, illumination, and fuel consumption, or fear thereof, arising or occurring from or during the flight of any aircraft or from or during the use by aircraft of the Airport, including but not limited to, landing, storage, repair, maintenance, operation, run-up and take-off of such aircraft, and the approach and departure of aircraft to or from the Airport; and (e) for any loss or damage to the property of, or injury or damage to Tenant, its officers, agents, employees, contractors, subtenants or any other person whomsoever, from any cause or causes arising at any time because of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises or use of the Airport, or its operations thereon.

 

 

15

INSURANCE

 

 

15.1

Required Insurance Coverage

 

Prior to commencing any work or operations under this Lease, Tenant at its sole cost and expense and for the full term of this Lease and all extensions thereof, shall obtain and maintain or shall cause to be obtained and maintained insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the activities of Tenant and its agents, representatives, employees and subcontractors, meeting at least the minimum insurance requirements set forth in Exhibit B on terms and conditions and in amounts as required by the City’s Risk Manager (“Risk Manager”). City shall not be obligated to take out insurance on Tenant's property. Tenant shall provide City with certificates of insurance and such endorsements as may be required by City’s Risk Manager. These requirements are subject to amendment or waiver if so approved in writing by the Risk Manager.

From time to time, at the request of the Risk Manager, Tenant shall provide a written statement of the replacement cost of the Tenant Improvements, with a copy to the Director.

 

 

15.2

Failure to Provide

 

In the event Tenant fails to procure or maintain any insurance required under this Lease: (a) City shall have the right, but not the obligation after providing at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Tenant, without limiting or waiving any other rights or remedies it may have at law or in equity, to procure such insurance and at City’s sole option charge Tenant for the cost of maintaining and procuring such insurance or to offset the cost thereof against any amount that may be due or subsequently become due to Tenant; and (b) in the event a loss occurs which would have been covered by the insurance required by this Lease had such insurance been maintained, Tenant shall pay all amounts that would have been paid by such coverage, minus such amounts actually received by City under a policy procured by City pursuant to this Section.

 

 

15.3

Waiver of Subrogation

 

City and Tenant hereby mutually agree that so long as their respective insurance carriers concur, any fire and extended coverage insurance policies carried on properties which are the subject of this Lease shall include a waiver of subrogation against the other party hereto, provided that such waiver of subrogation applies only to subsequent loss.

 

 

16

BAILEE DISCLAIMER

 

It is hereby understood and agreed that City in no way purports to be a bailee, and is therefore not responsible in any way for any damage to the property of Tenant, Tenant's contractors, agents, employees and invitees.

 

Page 55 of 109

 

 

17

RIGHT TO ENTER

 

City reserves and shall have the right by its officers, employees, agents and contractors to enter into and upon the Premises upon two (2) business days’ notice scheduled in advance with Tenant (and in emergencies at all times without notice):

Any action taken by City under this Section shall be without abatement of rent or payment of damages or other amounts to Tenant for any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, Leasehold Improvements or the buildings, betterments and improvements, without liability on the part of City for loss or damage that may be sustained by Tenant thereby, and without such action by City being construed as an eviction of Tenant or a release of Tenant from the duty of observing and performing any of the provisions of this Lease; provided, however, that such action shall be conducted and undertaken at times and in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operations and business of Tenant, and its subtenant’s and users, whenever reasonably possible.

18.1

Payment by Tenant

 

Tenant shall pay before delinquency, and without notice or demand, any and all taxes, (including without limitation any gross receipts, income tax or excise tax) assessments, licenses, fees, possessory interest taxes and other public charges or penalties which shall be levied, imposed, or assessed upon any of Tenant’s leasehold interest, upon Tenant's business, or upon Tenant for the privilege of conducting business within the Premises, or upon any other property of Tenant within the Airport.

Page 56 of 109

 

 

18.2

Possessory Interest Taxes

 

Tenant recognizes and understands that this Lease may create a real property possessory interest that may be subject to real property taxation, and that possessory interest may be subject to the payment of real property taxes levied on such interest. If any possessory interest tax is levied on the land comprising the Premises, the Leasehold Improvements and/or Tenant’s estate created by this Lease, Tenant shall pay such tax before delinquency. City shall have no obligation to pay any possessory interest tax. No such possessory interest tax, or any other tax by any governmental entity, shall in any way reduce or substitute for the rent, charges or fees required to be paid as a condition of this Lease or as otherwise required by City.

No Liens or Encumbrances

 

Tenant shall not permit or suffer any liens or encumbrances to be imposed upon the Premises, the Airport or any building or structure thereon, as a result of its activities without promptly discharging the same; provided, however, that Tenant may, if it so desires, contest the legality of same following prior written notice to City.

3.           Prevention of Release. Tenant shall take all necessary precautions to prevent its activities from causing any Hazardous Material release to occur on the Airport, including, but not limited to any release into soil, groundwater, or the City's sewage or storm drainage system.

(c)         any Hazardous Material release which commenced during the term of this Lease on the Premises, including, but not limited to any release into soil or groundwater, except a release which Tenant establishes, through investigation, sampling, testing and analysis acceptable to the City, was caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City, City’s officers, agents, employees, contractors or permittees or by migration of Hazardous Materials onto the Premises from a source off the Premises.
