6. The default by Lessee in the performance of any covenant or agreement herein
required to be performed by Lessee and the failure of Lessee to remedy such
default for a period of fifteen (15) days after receipt from the Lessor's Director of
Aviation of written notice to remedy the same.
7. The lawful assumption by the United States Government, or any authorized
agency thereof, of the operation, control or use of the Airport, or any substantial
part or parts thereof, in such a manner as to substantially restrict Lessee for a
period of at least ninety (90) days from operating thereon.
16
Lessor may exercise such right of termination by giving written notice to the Lessee to
correct or cure such default, failure to perform or breach. If within thirty (30) days from
the date of such notice, the default, failure to perform or breach complained of shall not
have been corrected in a manner satisfactory to the Lessor, then in such event, Lessor
shall have the right, at once and without further notice to Lessee, to declare this
Agreement terminated.
Once Agreement is terminated, Lessor's agents may enter upon the Leased Premises and
take immediate possession of the same and remove Lessee's effects. Any rental due
hereunder shall be payable to said date of termination.
It is agreed that failure to declare this Lease terminated upon the default of Lessee for any
of the reasons set forth above shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the Lessor's
rights hereunder or otherwise bar or preclude Lessor from declaring this Agreement
cancelled as a result of any subsequent violation of any of the terms or conditions of this
Agreement.
7.04 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 Lessor shall have the option to restore the Premises
to their former condition. If the Lessor elects to exercise the option, the Lessor shall give
Lessee notice in writing of its election within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such
damage. If the Lessor elects to restore the Premises, the Lessor 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 Lessor 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.
7.05 CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The Lessee acknowledges that it is informed that Texas law prohibits contracts between
the City of Lubbock and its "officers" and "employees," and that the prohibition extends
to officers and employees of the City of Lubbock agencies, such as Lessor -owned
utilities, and certain City of Lubbock boards and commissions, and to contract with any
17
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 of Lubbock or any of its agencies, boards or commissions.
7.06 OWNERSHIP
Within ninety (90) days after expiration of this Agreement as herein provided, the Lessee
shall have the option to remove all improvements, constructed or placed thereon, except
for any pavement area constructed by Lessee and return land to a clean and level
condition. Lessee shall give Lessor thirty (30) days written notice prior to expiration of
the Agreement of Lessee's intent to exercise such option. In the event Lessee chooses
not to exercise its option to remove from the Premises such improvements, Lessee may
choose to surrender title to such improvements to Lessor, subject to the approval of
Lessor. Lessee covenants and agrees to pay all reasonable costs, attorney's fees and
expenses that shall be incurred by the Lessor in enforcing the covenants and conditions of
this Agreement, in the event the Lessee fails to pay expenses within thirty (30) days such
property will be deemed abandoned and title will revert to the Lessor; however, this in no
way relieves the Lessee of the debt incurred.
In the event Lessor terminates this Agreement for cause as contained in 7.03 above, or if
Lessee discontinues operations at anytime prior to expiration, the Lessor retains
ownership to Lessee's improvements to the extent of the rentals due for the then
remaining terra.
7.07 REMOVAL OF LESSEE'S PROPERTY
The Lessee shall have the right, within thirty (30) days after the termination of this Lease,
whether such termination comes upon expiration of the initial term, any extension or
otherwise under any provision of this Lease, to remove from the Leased Premises all of
Lessee's property which has not become the property of the Lessor, but Lessee shall
restore the Premises to the original condition, normal wear and tear excepted. The
Lessor, however, shall have a lien on all of Lessee's property to secure any unpaid rentals
or other revenue due the Lessor; and Lessee's right to remove property from the Leased
Premises is conditioned upon all amounts due the Lessor from Lessee having been paid in
full. Unless a renewal agreement is executed, property left on the Premises after thirty
18
(30) days from the date of termination of this Agreement shall be deemed abandoned and
will become the property of the Lessor, and may be disposed of as the Lessor sees fit,
without any liability to the Lessee to account for the proceeds of any sale; and the Lessor,
at its option, may require Lessee to remove the abandoned property and may charge rent
from the date of expiration or termination of this Agreement through the day of final
removal of the property, or of notification to the Lessee of the abandonment of the
property and taking by the Lessor, as the case may be. Provided however, that Lessee
shall have ninety (90) days to remove any buildings or fuel storage tanks or dispensing
equipment. Lessee shall comply with all state and federal requirements for removal of
fuel storage tanks and dispensing equipment and shall obtain written certification from
the appropriate governmental agency that said tanks and equipment have been removed
properly.
7.08 TERMINATION OF LEASE AND SURRENDER OF LEASED PREMISES
The Lessee covenants and agrees that at the expiration of the initial term of this Lease, or
any extension, or upon earlier termination as provided elsewhere in this Agreement,
Lessee will quit and surrender the Leased Premises and the improvements in good
condition, reasonable wear and tear expected, and the Lessor shall have the right to take
possession of the Leased Premises and the improvements, subject to the limitations
expressed in Article Seven, of this Lease, with or without process of law.
