A. RENTAL
1. Terminal: The LESSEE shall pay to the CITY as rental
the following:
Ten percent (10%) of LESSEE's annual gross revenue for each
year during the term of this agreement that LESSEE conducts
business operations at the AIRPORT, but not more than ten percent
(10%) of ninety percent (90%) of the preceding year's gross
revenue, plus nine percent (9%) of the remaining ten percent
(10%) of such preceding year's gross revenue, and eight percent
(8%) of all gross revenue in excess of such preceding year's
gross revenue. To illustrate, if LESSEE's gross revenue for the
first year that this agreement is in effect is $600,000 and the
preceding year's gross revenue was $500,000, rental would be
calculated as follows:
10% of (90% of $500,000) _ $45,000
9% of (10% of $500,000) _ $ 4,500
8% of ($600,000 - $500,000) = 8,000
TOTAL = $57,500
Notwithstanding the above language, in no event will the
annual rental for this lease be less than forty thousand
($40,000) dollars.
The above rental is payable month by month at a rate of ten
percent (10%) of the preceding month's gross revenue, or nine
percent (9%) of the preceding month's gross revenue when LESSEE's
gross revenue for the year has exceeded ninety percent (90%) of
- 4 -
the preceding year's gross revenue, or eight percent (8%) of the
preceding month's gross revenue when LESSEE's gross revenue for
the year has exceeded the preceding year's total gross revenue.
Such rental payments are due on or before the 20th day of each
month and are to be accompanied by a verified statement showing
the preceding month's gross revenue.
For determining the rental due the CITY, gross revenue shall
include but not be limited to the following:
(1) All revenues received as mileage charges for rental of
automobiles, trucks, vans and other vehicles.
(2) Charges for insurance policies sold customers, as well
as any charges made to customers for insurance deductible
waiver features.
(3) Sales of fuel and oil.

in such business operations and payments received from
customers for damages to automobiles while rented or for
emergency repairs made by the customers.
2. Ground lease (Service Facility): For each month that
this lease is in effect, the LESSEE shall pay to the CITY rentals
for a ground lease on an area to be used as a service facility
and consisting of Z_,-� doo square feet of exclusive lease area,

loth day of each and every month during the term of this lease.
- 5 -
On January 1, 1993, and each year thereafter on the same month
and day for the remainder of the term of this Agreement, the

be adjusted upward or downward in accordance with the increase or
decrease for the preceding twelve (12) months in the Consumer
Price Index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United States Government.
3. Close -in vehicle parking areas (Ready and Return Car
Areas): For each month that this lease is in effect, the LESSEE
shall pay to the CITY in advance the sum of SEVEN ($7.00) DOLLARS
per space per month for LESSEE's allocated parking spaces, as
shown on Exhibit "C". Payment for such allocated spaces must be
received by the CITY on or before the 10th day of each and every
month during the term of this lease.
4. Counter area: LESSEE shall be provided space for a
counter area as shown on Exhibit "A".
B. LESSEE'S ABATEMENT RIGHTS
In the event that one or more of the following conditions
arises during the term hereof, the minimum annual guaranteed
rental hereinabove provided for shall be abated for the period of
time the condition or conditions continue to exist:
1. If, for any reason, the number of passengers deplaning
on scheduled airline flights at the AIRPORT during any
period of thirty (30) or more consecutive days shall be
lower than 85% of the number of such deplaning
passengers for the same period of the immediately
preceding contract year or of the year immediately
preceding the first contract year.
2. If the operation of LESSEE'S car rental business at the
AIRPORT, through no fault of LESSEE, is adversely
affected by shortages or other disruptions in the
supply of automobiles, gasoline or other goods
necessary for the operation thereof, and there is a
material diminution in LESSEE'S gross revenues
hereunder for a period of thirty (30) or more
consecutive days attributable to such shortages or
other disruptions.
During the period of the abatement, LESSEE will continue to
pay to the CITY the monthly rentals which are based on gross
revenues and the CITY will return to LESSEE a just proportion of
any minimum annual guaranteed payment which may have been
prepaid. In the event any of the above conditions continue for a
period in excess of six (6) months, LESSEE shall have the right
to terminate this agreement.
C. MOST FAVORED NATIONS CLAUSE
In the event that any contract granted by the CITY to any
other automobile rental concessionaire shall contain any terms
and conditions more favorable to such concessionaire than the
terms and conditions herein described (other than the number of
allocated parking spaces and the location of the counter area,
service facility and vehicle parking areas), then, at the option
of LESSEE, this agreement shall be amended to include such more
favorable terms and any offsetting burdens that may be imposed on
7 -
any such other concessionaire. The intent of this provision is
to ensure that LESSEE will be able to compete on terms as equal
as possible with all other automobile rental concessionaires and
to ensure that no other concessionaire shall enjoy any rights or
privileges more favorable to such concessionaire than those
enjoyed by the LESSEE herein.
D. RECORDS
The LESSEE, following accepted accounting practices and
procedures, will maintain true and accurate books, records and
receipts which will show all of the gross revenue of all business
transacted upon and within the AIRPORT.
Within 30 days of the end of the initial term of this lease,
and when otherwise necessary, LESSEE shall submit to the CITY a
verified statement of its gross revenue for each year during the
term of this lease in which Lessee conducted business operations
at the AIRPORT. Such statement shall be certified by LESSEE's
chief financial officer and shall be accompanied by LESSEE's
payment of any remaining sums due the City for such business
operations. In the event LESSEE's prior payments to the CITY
exceed the amount required by this agreement, the CITY shall
reimburse LESSEE with an amount equal to the difference between
the sum required and the sum paid.
E. AUDIT
All books, records and receipts of all business transacted
upon and within the AIRPORT will be kept or maintained at the
AIRPORT or other place consented to in writing by the CITY's
Auditor, and will be available for inspection and examination
- 8 -
during regular office hours by the CITY's Auditor or authorized
representatives of the CITY. Such written consent may be revoked
by the Auditor at any time. Any other books, records and
receipts of LESSEE's business operations at locations other than
the AIRPORT which the CITY's Auditor or authorized
representatives of the CITY desire to inspect or examine shall
also be made available for such purpose after reasonable notice
to LESSEE. For the purposes of determining the accuracy of the
required statements of gross revenue, the CITY's Auditor may
authorize the making of a spot test audit and base the findings
for an entire period upon such audit, provided that the audit
shall include at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the total
time of the period audited. LESSEE herein agrees to pay all
reasonable expenses incurred by the CITY's Auditor and all other
authorized representatives of the CITY when such person or
persons inspect, examine or audit books, records or receipts of
business transacted at the AIRPORT at any location other than the
AIRPORT.
In addition, the CITY's Auditor shall have the right at any
time during the term of this lease to authorize an audit of
LESSEE's records pertaining to its business operations at the
AIRPORT. Any such audit shall be undertaken by a reputable firm
of independent Certified Public Accountants satisfactory to the
CITY. The cost of such audit shall be borne one-half by LESSEE
and one-half by the CITY, unless results of the audit reveal a
discrepancy of more than five percent (5%) between gross revenue
reported in accordance with Section A of this Article and gross
revenue as determined by the audit. In case of a discrepancy of
more than five percent (5%) in favor of the LESSEE, the full cost
of the audit shall be borne by the LESSEE.
F. PAYMENT
All payments that become due and payable by the LESSEE under
this agreement shall be made to the CITY at the Office of the
Director of Aviation, Lubbock International Airport, Lubbock,
Texas. LESSEE shall pay CITY a late payment charge of five
percent (5%) of the total amount of rentals payable if payment of
such rentals is not made when due.
G. DIVERTING REVENUE
Any action taken by the LESSEE to divert rental car business
from the AIRPORT to off -AIRPORT locations or to induce its
patrons or patrons of other car rental concessionaires at the
AIRPORT to rent or receive vehicles in any manner or at any
location so as to diminish rentals payable to the CITY by LESSEE
or other car rental concessionaires at the AIRPORT shall
constitute a material breach hereof and a cause for the immediate
termination of this agreement by the CITY.

ARTICLE EIGHT
GENERAL
A. TIME OF EMERGENCY
During time of war or national emergency, the CITY shall
have the right to lease the landing area and any other portion of
the AIRPORT to the United States for governmental use and, if any
such lease is executed, the provisions of this instrument,
insofar as they are inconsistent with the provisions of the lease
to the United States, shall be suspended.
B. SPONSOR'S ASSURANCE SUBORDINATION
This lease shall be subordinate to the provisions of any
existing or future agreement between the CITY and the United
States concerning the operation or maintenance of the AIRPORT,
the execution of which has been or may be required as a condition
precedent to the expenditure of federal funds for the development
of the AIRPORT. Should the effect of such agreement with the
United States be to take any of the property under this lease or
otherwise diminish the commercial value of this lease, the CITY
shall not be held liable therefor.
C. REPLACEMENT AFTER DAMAGE
It is agreed between the parties hereto that in the event
the leased premises are damaged by fire or other accidental cause
during the initial term of this lease so as to become totally or
partially untenantable, the CITY shall have the option to restore
the premises to their former condition. If the CITY elects to
exercise the option, the CITY shall give LESSEE notice in writing
of its election within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such
- 26 -
damage. If the CITY elects to restore the premises, the CITY
shall proceed with due diligence and there shall be an abatement
of the rent until repairs have been made for the time and to the
extent for which the premises, or part thereof, have been
untenantable. Should the CITY not exercise the option to restore
the premises, the lease of such untenantable portion of the
premises shall cease and terminate effective on the date of
damage by fire or other accidental cause.
D. CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The LESSEE acknowledges that it is informed that Texas law
prohibits contracts between the CITY and its "officers" and
"employees," and that the prohibition extends to officers and
employees of CITY agencies, such as CITY -owned utilities, and
certain CITY boards and commissions, and to contracts with any
partnership, corporation or other organization in which the
officers or employees have a substantial interest. LESSEE
certifies (and this agreement is made in reliance thereon) that
neither the LESSEE nor any person having an interest in this
agreement is an officer or employee of the CITY or any of its
agencies, boards or commissions.
E. BOND
LESSEE must provide the CITY with a performance bond in the
amount of FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($40,000), to be reviewed
annually, to secure the prompt payment of the minimum annual

paid for the use of the leased premises.
- 27 -
In lieu of a performance bond, LESSEE may give the CITY:
(1) an irrevocable letter of credit from a bank or other
financial institution approved by the City Attorney of the CITY
and which assures the CITY of payment of the minimum annual
guaranteed rental; or (2) a secured interest with priority over
the secured interests and liens of all other creditors of LESSEE
in all vehicles, equipment, furniture, fixtures and furnishings
used in LESSEE's car rental operation at the AIRPORT, including
all vehicles, equipment, furniture, fixtures and furnishings
hereafter acquired and so used. To ensure the priority of a
secured interest granted to the CITY, LESSEE shall file with the
Director of Aviation of CITY subordination agreements executed by
and between the CITY and any and all persons or firms who are
secured parties with secured interests that would have priority
over the secured interest granted to the CITY, subordinating such
other secured interests to the secured interest held by the CITY.
In addition, LESSEE shall secure subordination agreements between
the CITY and any person or firm who takes a purchase money
secured interest in LESSEE's vehicles, equipment, furniture,
fixtures and furnishings during the initial term of this lease
agreement (or any extension thereof), subordinating such purchase
money secured interest to the secured interest held by the CITY.
LESSEE shall further secure and file with the CITY's Director of
Aviation subordination agreements executed by and between the
City of Lubbock and any person or firm holding a lien against any
structures or other improvements used or installed by LESSEE upon
the leased premises, subordinating such lien to the CITY's lien
- 28 -
against such structures or improvements to secure payment of all
amounts due under this agreement. LESSEE shall execute security
agreements and sign financing statements to be filed with the
County Clerk of Lubbock County and the Secretary of State of
Texas; and such security agreements shall give the City of
Lubbock a secured interest in all vehicles, equipment, furniture,
fixtures and furnishings used in LESSEE's car rental operation on
the AIRPORT, including all such items hereafter acquired for such
use, and a lien upon all structures and improvements presently
existing or to be installed or constructed upon the leased
premises during the initial term of this agreement, or any
extension thereof. In addition to executing said security
agreements, LESSEE will file with the Director of Aviation a
schedule showing the motor vehicle identification and
registration numbers of each vehicle used in its car rental
operation on the Airport and such supplementary schedules as are
necessary to keep the CITY informed as to the number and identity
of such vehicles.
F. RIGHT OF INSPECTION
The CITY reserves the right to conduct inspections of the
leased premises at reasonable times to ensure that fire, safety
and sanitation regulations and other provisions contained in this
lease are being adhered to by the LESSEE.

G. TERMINATION OF LEASE, SURRENDER OF LEASED PREMISES AND
OWNERSHIP OF IMPROVEMENTS
The LESSEE covenants and agrees that at the expiration of
the initial term of this lease, or any extension which has been
granted, or upon earlier termination as provided elsewhere in
this agreement, LESSEE will quit and surrender the leased
premises and the improvements in good state and condition,
reasonable wear and tear excepted, and the CITY shall have the
right to take possession of the leased premises and the
improvements, subject to the limitations expressed in Article
Six, Section D of this lease, with or without process of law.
