ARTICLE 7: DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF AIRLINE'S PREMISES
7.01. Damage or Destruction. If by reason of any cause including but not limited to any obligation
CITY may have, other than the negligence or willful misconduct of AIRLINE, the Airline's Premises or
adjacent facilities directly and substantially affecting the use of Airline's Premises are damaged to such an
extent that they are untenantable in whole or in substantial part, then:
A. If the repairs or rebuilding necessary to restore Airline's Premises to its condition prior to the
occurrence of the damage can, in the reasonable judgement of CITY, be completed within ninety (90)
consecutive calendar days from the date on which the damage occurred, CITY shall so notify
AIRLINE, in writing, and shall proceed promptly with such repairs and rebuilding, and in such event,
the rental fees for Airline's Premises, for which provision is made in Article 5 hereof, shall be abated
on a prorated basis for the period from the date of the occurrence of such damage to the date upon
which such repairs and rebuilding are completed. The prorata abatement of rental fees shall be based
only on the reduction of usable square feet in Airline's Premises due to such damage to Airline's
Premises. The rental fee per square foot established in this Agreement shall remain the same.
B. If such repairs or rebuilding cannot, in the reasonable judgement of CITY be completed
within said ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, CITY, at its option, to be evidenced by notice in
writing to AIRLINE within thirty (30) days of the date of the occurrence, may either: (1) proceed
promptly with said repairs or rebuilding, in which event abatement of the rental fees shall be allowed,
as described in this Article, or (2) terminate the letting of Airline's Premises, in which event the said
rental fees therefore for which provision is made in Article 5 hereof shall be eliminated from and after
the date of the occurrence of the damage. CITY shall not be deemed in default under this Agreement
in the event it elects to terminate the letting of the damaged or destroyed Airline's Premises. The 90-
day repair or rebuilding time shall include the time required for design of repairs or rebuilding,
bidding and award of a construction contract pursuant to CITY procedures, and construction of the
repairs or rebuilding.
C. In the event repair or rebuilding is required pursuant to subsection A, above, or the CITY
elects to repair or rebuild pursuant to subsection B, above, CITY shall use its best efforts to provide
AIRLINE with alternative space, if necessary, during any repairs, rebuilding, or reconstruction of the
Terminal Building. CITY shall advise AIRLINE as soon as may be practicable regarding CITY's
intention with respect to any necessary repairs or restorations. In the event CITY provides such
alternative space to AIRLINE, AIRLINE's rental fees shall not increase as a result of increased square
footage unless AIRLINES requests additional space. In the event CITY provides alternative space to
AIRLINE, abatement of rental fees shall consist only of cost directly associated with moving
AIRLINE to the temporary space and back to restored space, if applicable, and if applicable, the
reduction of rental fees based on a reduction of square feet in any temporary space, in which event, the
smaller square footage would be charged at the same rate per square foot required pursuant to this
Agreement for the space AIRLINE occupied prior to moving under the terms of this subsection.

--45--
(2) AIRLINE is knowledgeable of all applicable federal, state, and local environmental
laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and orders, which apply to AIRLINE's operations at the
Airport and acknowledges that such environmental laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and

changes.
(3) AfRLINE shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material hereinafter placed, stored,
generated, used, released or disposed of in, on, under about or transported from any Airport
premises by AIRLINE, its agents, employees, contractors or other person, unless it has
complied with the following: (a) with respect to Hazardous Materials other than oil, petroleum
products, and/or flammable substances reasonably necessary in connection with AIRLINE's
aeronautical activities, the prior written consent of CITY shall be required, which shall not be
withheld unreasonably. CITY may impose, however, as a condition of such consent, such
requirements as CITY in its sole discretion may deem reasonable or desirable, including without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, requirements as to the manner in which, the time at
which, and the contractor by whom such work shall be done, and (b) AIRLINE must comply
with all environmental laws and regulations, and with prudent business practices, with respect to
such Hazardous Materials and (c) the presence of Hazardous Materials must be reasonably
necessary for the operation of AIRLINE's Air Transportation Business.
(4) AIRLINE shall comply, and shall at all times ensure that all Airport premises occupied
by it are kept in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances,
regulations, guideline and orders relating to health safety and protection of persons, the public,
and/or the environment, (collectively "Environmental Laws"). AIRLINE shall furnish upon the
reasonable request of CITY, all report(s), assessments or other documents satisfactory to CITY

occupied by it free of all environmental, health or safety hazards and/or nuisances of any kind
whatsoever. Prior to AIRLINE's occupancy of any Airline Premises, AIRLINE and CITY, or
CITY's designated agent shall review the condition of premises to be occupied by AIRLINE,

AIRLINE shall not be responsible to CITY with respect to such pre-existing conditions or if not
noted previously, AIRLINE can reasonably demonstrate condition was pre-existing.
(7) AIRLINE shall notify CITY immediately upon discovery of any Hazardous Material
on, in, under or emanating from Airport premises occupied by it, any release or threat of release
of a Hazardous Material, illness caused by exposure thereto, as well as any actual, threatened or
potential environmental, health or safety liability, including but not limited to claims lawsuits,
notices of violation, complaints and investigations. If contamination of said premises or other
property by Hazardous Materials occurs as a result of AIRLINE's actions and/or operations,
AIRLINE shall immediately, and at its own expense, take all actions necessary to remediate,
abate, and/or rectify any such conditions at or upon the Airport. If CITY is required to
remediate and/or abate any such conditions on or upon such premises, it may do so upon
reasonable notice (under the circumstances) to AIRLINE, and AIRLINE shall pay all costs
incurred by CITY with copies of any reports, analyses, notices, claims, complaints, demands,
investigations, requests for information, and/or other documents, correspondence or other
written materials relating to the environmental condition on or of the Airport premises at issue
and/or Hazardous Materials on, in, under, or emanating from those premises upon receipt,
completion or delivery of such materials.
(8) Except as may otherwise be provided herein, AIRLINE will not make or allow to be
made any change in usage, additions, or improvements in, on or to any Airport premises which
will result in the presence or release of Hazardous Materials on any Airport premises.
(9) If AIRLINE breaches the obligations stated in this section, or if the presence of
Hazardous Materials on Airport premises occupied by AIRLINE results in a release of
Hazardous Materials on, from or to said premises or contamination of the premises or other
property (including groundwater), or if contamination of said premises or other property by
Hazardous Materials otherwise occurs as a result of AIRLINE's negligent actions and/or
operations, then, in addition to any other indemnification agreements(s) contained in this
Agreement, AIRLINE shall indemnify, and hold CITY harmless from any and all resulting
claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses, from any and all
resulting claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, Iiabilities or losses, (including,
without limitation, diminution in value of the premises, damages for the loss or restriction on
use of rentable or usable space or of any amenity of the premises, natural resource damages,
damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of space, damage to other property, or
the environment, and sums paid in settlement of claims, attorney's fees, consultant and expert
fees) except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of CITY. Without
limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material on such premises caused or
permitted by AIRLINE results in any contamination of the premises, other property, or the
environment, AIRLINE shall promptly notify CITY.
(10) AIRLINE agrees to cooperate with any investigation, audit or inquiry by CITY or any
governmental agency, regarding possible violation of any environmental law or regulation upon
the Airport.
(11) AIRLINE agrees that all remedies of CITY as provided herein with regard to violation
of any federal, state or local environmental laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders shall be
deemed cumulative in nature and shall survive termination of this Agreement.
(12) AIRLINE agrees that any notice of violation, notice of non-compliance, or other
enforcement action shall be provided to CITY within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt by
AIRLINE or AIRLINE's agent. Any violation or notice of violation or non-compliance with
federal, state, or local environmental law or ordinance shall be deemed a default under this
Agreement. Such default may be cured within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of default from
CITY, or such longer period as may be required to effect a cure provided AIRLINE commences
a cure within said ten (10) days and thereafter diligently prosecutes the cure to completion. Any
such default that is not cured shall be grounds for termination of this Agreement.
(13) In entering this Agreement, CITY expressly relies on the covenants, representations,
and warranties of AIRLINE as stated herein.
13. Storrnwater.
(1) Notwithstanding any other provisions or terms of this Agreement, AIRLINE
acknowledges that certain properties within the Airport, or on CITY owned land, are subject to
stormwater rules and regulations. AIRLINE agrees to observe and abide by such stormwater
rules and regulations as may be applicable to CITY's property and uses thereof.
--48--
(2) AIRLINE acknowledges that any stormwater discharge permit issued to the CITY may
name AIRLINE as a co-permitee. CITY and AIRLINE both acknowledge that close
cooperation is necessary to insure compliance with any stormwater discharge permit terms and
conditions, as well as to insure safety and to minimize cost of compliance. AIRLINE
acknowledges further that it may be necessary to undertake such actions to minimize the
exposure of stormwater to "significant materials" generated, stored, handled or otherwise used
by AIRLINE, as such term may be defined by applicable stormwater rules and regulations, by
implementing and maintaining "best management practices" as that term may be defined in
applicable stormwater rules and regulations.
(3) CITY will provide AIRLINE with written notice of any stormwater discharge permit
requirements applicable to AIRLINE and with which AIRLINE will be obligated to comply
from time -to -time, including, but not limited to: certification of non-stormwater discharges;
collection of stormwater samples; preparation of stormwater pollution prevention or similar
plans; implementation of best management practices; and maintenance of necessary records.
Such written notice shall include applicable deadlines. AIRLINE agrees that within ten (10)
days of receipt of such written notice, it shall notify CITY in writing if it disputes any of the
stormwater permit requirements it is being directed to undertake. If AIRLINE does not provide
such timely notice, AIRLINE will be deemed to assent to undertake such stormwater permit
requirements. In that event, AIRLINE agrees to undertake, at its sole expense, unless otherwise
agreed to in writing between CITY and AIRLINE, those stormwater permit requirements for
which it has received written notice from CITY, and AIRLINE agrees that it will hold harmless
and indemnify CITY for any violations or non-compliance with any such permit requirements.
C. Solid and Hazardous Waste.
(1) If AIRLINE is deemed to be a generator of hazardous waste, as defined by federal,
state or local law, AIRLINE shall obtain a generator identification number from the EPA and
the appropriate generator permit and shall comply with all federal, state and local laws, and any
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including but not limited to, insuring that the
transportation, storage, handling and disposal of such hazardous wastes are conducted in full
compliance with applicable law.
(2) AIRLINE agrees to provide CITY, upon request, copies of all hazardous waste permit
application documentation, permits, monitoring reports, transportation, responses, storage and
disposal plans, manifests and material safety data sheets, within ten (10) days of any such
requests by CITY.
