to remedy the same.
7. The Lessee's breach of any provision contained in Article Four, of this lease.
STRATOS AVIATION, INC. LEASE AGREEMENT
PAGE 19
8. 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.
If any of the aforesaid events occur, Lessor's agents may enter upon the Leased Premises and
take immediate possession of the same and remove Lessee's effects. Upon said entry this lease
shall terminate, and 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 lease cancelled as a result of any
subsequent violation of any of the terms or conditions of this lease.
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
STRATOS AVIATION, INC. LEASE AGREEMENT
PAGE 20
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 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 PROPERTY PERMANENTLY AFFIXED TO PREMISES
Any property belonging to Lessee which becomes permanently attached to the Leased Premises
(except trade fixtures) shall become the property of the Lessor upon termination of this
Agreement, whether upon expiration of the initial term, any extension thereof, or earlier under
any provision of this lease.
7.07 REMOVAL OF LESSEE'S PROPERTY
The Lessee shall have the right, within ten (10) 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 furniture, fixtures,
equipment, furnishings, and other 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 ten (10) days from the date of
STRATOS AVIATION, INC. LEASE AGREEMENT
PAGE 21
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.
7.08 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, 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 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.
7.09 HOLDING OVER
In the event Lessee remains in possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration of this
Agreement or any extension thereof, without any written renewal or extension of the Agreement,
such holding over shall not be deemed as a renewal or extension of this Lease, and may be
terminated at any time by the Director of Aviation of Lessor.
