In all cases where improvements or facilities installed by
Lessee require structural changes or additional wiring, plumbing
or climactic controls, Lessee agrees to be responsible for all
costs in connection with such installations (including
maintenance and energy costs) and to comply with all applicable
City codes. In performing any construction or other work
authorized in this Section 5.03, Lessee shall keep the Exclusive
Leased Premises free from accumulation of debris as much as
practically possible and perform such work so as to minimize
inconvenience to the general public and other Lessees of City.
Section 5.04 - Removal and Demolition. Lessee shall not
remove or demolish, in whole or in part, any improvements that
already exist on the Exclusive Leased Premises without the prior
written consent of the Director of Aviation who may, at his
discretion, condition such consent upon Lessee's agreement to
replace the same improvements specified in such consent upon
termination of this Lease. The Director of Aviation shall not
withhold consent unreasonably and shall not impose unreasonable
conditions as a prerequisite for obtaining his consent.
Section 5.05 - Trash and Garbage. Lessee shall provide at
its own expense a complete and proper arrangement for the
adequate sanitary handling and disposal, away from the Airport,
of all trash, garbage and other refuse resulting from Lessee's
operations on the Airport. Lessee shall provide and use suitable
covered metal receptacles for all garbage, trash and other refuse
in the areas leased by Lessee. Piling of boxes, cartons, barrels
or other similar items in an unsafe manner in or about Airport
premises shall not be permitted.
Section 5.06 - Taxes and Licenses. Lessee shall pay all
taxes of whatever character that may be lawfully levied or
charged upon Lessee's leasehold improvements or operations
hereunder and upon Lessee's rights to use Airport property.
Lessee shall obtain and pay for all licenses or permits necessary
or required by law for the construction of any improvements,
additions or alterations, or the installation of equipment and
-16-
furnishings, and any other licenses necessary to conduct its Air
Transportation business.
Section 5.07 - Rules and Regulations. In conducting its
operations hereunder, Lessee shall comply with all applicable

hereafter prescribed or promulgated by authority or by law,
provided that such rules, regulations and ordinances of the City
shall be in conformity with Section 2.07 hereof.
Section 5.08 - Duty to Prevent Unauthorized Access to the
Premises. Lessee shall prohibit both unauthorized persons and
vehicles from entering the Exclusive Leased Premises and those
Airport premises over which Lessee has control or usage of in
common with others, and Lessee agrees that in the event that a

result of Lessee's failure to comply or act in accordance with
this provision or any other applicable federal, state or local
statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations affecting the use,
occupancy or operation of any of said premises, Lessee shall
immediately reimburse the Airport or City the full amount of the
penalty or fine and correct the act or omission leading to,
causing or contributing to the violation.
ARTICLE VI
TERM
Section 6.01 - Term. A. The initial term of this Lease
shall commence on the 1st day of October, 1988, and end on the
30th day of September, 1991. Upon written application of Lessee,
delivered to the office of the Director of Aviation of City
within twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of the initial
term of this Lease, the Director of Aviation may extend this
Lease for a period of thirty (30) days, provided Lessee is
negotiating with City for a new lease when such initial term
expires. During such negotiations, Lessee may apply for as many
thirty (30) day extensions of this Lease as Lessee deems
-17-
necessary, which may or may not be granted by the Director of
Aviation in his discretion, but in no case shall this Lease be
extended more than twelve (12) months beyond its initial term.
Any extension of this Lease granted under this Section 6.01 shall
be in writing and signed by the Lessee and the Director of
Aviation. During any extension, Lessee shall be subject to the
rates, fees, rentals and other charges established by the Airport
Board for Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Companies
that are month-to-month tenants.
B. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6.01,
this Lease is also subject to earlier termination as hereinafter
provided under Article XII.
C. On or before thirty (30) days prior to the expiration
of the initial term of this Lease, or any extension of said term,
as provided in this Article, the Director of Aviation may notify
Lessee in writing that this Lease shall terminate at the end of
said thirty (30) day period. Lessee agrees and hereby
acknowledges that it is an essential term of this Lease that
before the end of said thirty (30) day period Lessee will vacate
all of the premises leased hereunder, will remove all of its
property and improvements (other than permanent improvements)
from same, and will restore said premises to the condition in
which they existed at the commencement of the initial term of
this Lease, damage by the elements, fire, explosion or other
casualty excepted unless such damage results from act or omission
of Lessee. All such restoration shall be done in a manner
satisfactory to the Director of Aviation and shall be completed
within said thirty (30) day period. If Lessee fails to vacate
said premises within said thirty (30) days after the date of
written notice from City of termination, or if Lessee fails to
complete such restoration within said thirty (30) day period, the
City shall have the right to remove from said premises any and
all of Lessee's property and improvements remaining thereon, to
restore said portion of the terminal building and land adjacent
thereto to the condition specified above, and to charge all costs
incurred by City in so doing to Lessee. Lessee agrees to pay
-18-
such costs of removal and restoration incurred by City. Failure
by the Director of Aviation to notify Lessee of when this Lease
shall terminate shall not extend the initial term of this Lease,
or any extension of said term granted in accordance with this
article.
ARTICLE VII
RENTALS AND FEES
Section 7.01 - Rental for Exclusive Terminal Building Space.
Rental for the 3,543 square feet of exclusive leased space
within the terminal building of the Airport, as described in
Section 2.01, shall consist of a fixed fee of $5.63 per sq. ft.
per year (to cover debt service) and a variable sum for
Maintenance and Operation (M & O) costs. The M & O portion of
the rental shall be subject to adjustments retroactively and
prospectively as follows: Effective April 1, 1988, the M & 0

automatically be added to the M & O rate effective October 1,
1988, and an additional $1.00 per sq. ft. will likewise
automatically be added to such rate on the same month and day of
the next two succeeding years.
Notwithstanding the date on which this Lease is executed,
Lessee herein agrees to pay City rentals for the Exclusive Leased
Premises retroactively in accordance with this Section 7.01 as
though this Lease had been executed and became effective on April
1, 1988. However, in calculating such rentals, Lessee shall be
given credit for those exclusive space rentals already paid to
City since April 1, 1988. Any exclusive space rentals due City
after such calculations are made shall be immediately due and
-19-
payable upon execution of this Lease. If such calculations
indicate that exclusive space rentals have been overpaid, Lessee
shall receive a credit for such overpayments.
Section 7.02 - Landing Fee. Effective October 1, 1988, the
fee for the use of the landing area and facilities necessary
therefor as granted hereunder, except those for which rentals are

actual flight operated. Effective October 1, 1991, the fee for
the use of such landing area and facilities shall be $.50 per
1,000 pounds of the approved maximum gross landing weight of each
actual flight operated.
Notwithstanding the date on which this Lease is executed,
Lessee herein agrees to pay City landing fees retroactively in
accordance with this Section 7.02 as though this Lease had been
executed and became effective on October 1, 1988. However, in
calculating such fees, Lessee shall be given credit for those
landing fees already paid to City since October 1, 1988. Any
landing fees due City after such calculations are made shall be
immediately due and payable upon execution of this Lease. If
such calculations indicate that landing fees have been overpaid,
Lessee shall receive a credit for such overpayments.
Not later than the fifth day of each month, Lessee shall
file with the Director of Aviation a report of Lessee's actual
landings at the Airport for the preceding month, which report
shall include the number and type of aircraft making such
landings. Lessee shall further provide the City with a summary
of the approved maximum gross landing weights for each type of
aircraft it operates at the Airport.
Section 7.03 - Rental for Common Use Area.
A. Common Bag Claim Area
As a result of expansion and remodeling of the terminal
building at the Airport, there is now approximately 16.939 square
feet of common bag claim area within the terminal building, as
shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and by reference made a part
hereof. Rental for the 16,939 sq. ft. common bag claim area
-20-
shall be charged jointly to Lessee and all other Certificated
Passenger Air Transportation Companies which now or may hereafter
have valid leases at the Airport and Lessee herein agrees to pay
its pro rata portion of such rental, which shall consist of a
fixed fee of $5.63 per sq. ft. per year (to cover debt service)
and a variable sum for Maintenance and Operation (M & O) costs.
The M & O portion of the common bag claim area rental shall be
subject to adjustments retroactively and prospectively as
follows: Effective April 1, 1988, the M & O portion of the
rental shall be $2.87 per sq. ft. per year. Effective October 1,
1988, and each year thereafter on the same month and day for the
remainder of this Lease, the M & O portion of the rental shall be
adjusted upward or downward in accordance with the increase or
decrease for the same period of time in the Consumer Price Index
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States
Government, hereinafter called "CPI." In addition to any
increase or decrease in the M & O portion of the rental resulting
from changes in the CPI, $1.00 per sq. ft. will automatically be
added to the M & O rate effective October 1, 1988, and an
additional $1.00 per sq. ft. will likewise automatically be added
to such rate on the same month and day of the next two succeeding
years.
Notwithstanding the date on which this Lease is executed,
Lessee herein agrees to pay City rentals for use of the common
bag claim area retroactively in accordance with this Section 7.03
as though this Lease had been executed and became effective on
April 1, 1988. However, in calculating such rentals, Lessee
shall be given credit for those bag claim area rentals already
paid to City since April 1, 1988. Any bag claim area rentals due
after such calculations shall be immediately due and payable upon
execution of this Lease. If such calculations indicate that bag
claim area rentals have been overpaid, Lessee shall receive a
credit for such overpayments.
Not later than the fifth day of each month, the Lessee shall
file with the Director of Aviation a summary of the actual number
of passenger enplanements on Lessee's aircraft and the actual
-21-
number of departures of Lessee's aircraft from the Airport for
the preceding month. Furthermore, the Lessee, in conjunction
with other Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Companies
which now or may hereafter have valid leases at the Airport,
shall provide the City with a written schedule of the pro rata
rental due by each Lessee hereunder, and Lessee agrees to pay its
stated pro rata amount monthly. The pro rata schedule so
furnished to City shall remain in effect until such time as City
is provided with a revised schedule of the pro rata rental
amounts executed by all said Lessees, which revised schedule
shall remain in effect until similarly modified.
B. Common Boarding Lounge Area
When City and Lessee executed the November 12, 1987
agreement hereinbefore mentioned, there were 26,789 square feet
of space and six (6) loading gates available for use as common
boarding lounge area by all Certificated Passenger Air
Transportation Companies that had valid leases at the Airport.
However, as a result of expansion and remodeling of the terminal
building at the Airport and negotiations with air carriers that
provide Air Transportation services at the Airport, approximately
51.685 square feet of space and nine (9) loading gates are now
available for use as common boarding lounge area. Both City and
Lessee agree that for purposes of this Lease the common boarding
lounge area shall consist of those six (6) gates designated as
common boarding lounge area on Exhibit A attached hereto and by
this reference made a part hereof, but such common area shall be
enlarged to include an additional gate for each Certificated
Passenger Air Transportation Company that either begins or has
already begun providing Air Transportation services at the
Airport after January 1, 1987.
Effective April 1, 1988, the base rental rate for the common
boarding lounge area shall be $2.87 per sq. ft. per year.
Effective October 1, 1988, and each year thereafter on the same
month and day for the remainder of this Lease, the base rental
rate for the common boarding lounge area shall be adjusted upward
or downward in accordance with the increase or decrease for the
-22-
same period of time in the Consumer Price Index published by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Government,
hereinafter called "CPI." In addition to any increase or
decrease in the base rental rate resulting from changes in the
CPI, $1.00 per sq. ft. will automatically be added to the base
rental rate effective October 1, 1988, and a like sum shall
automatically be added to such base rental rate on the same month
and day of each of the next two succeeding years so that the base
rental rate, subject to adjustment for changes in the CPI, shall
be as follows:
(a) April 1, 1988, to October 1, 1988 -- $2.87 per sq. ft.
per year x 51,685 square feet = $148,335.95 (yearly
rental) ;
(b) October 1, 1988, to September 30, 1989 -- $3.87 per sq.
ft. per year x 51,685 square feet = $200,020.95 (yearly
rental) ;
(c) October 1, 1989, to September 30, 1990 -- $4.87 per sq.
ft. per year x 51,685 square feet = $251,705.95 (yearly
rental);
(d) October 1, 1990, to September 30, 1991 -- $5.87 per sq.
ft. per year x 51,685 square feet = $303,390.95 (yearly
rental).
Rental of the common boarding lounge area shall be charged
jointly to all Certificated Passenger Air Transportation
Companies which now or may hereafter have leases at the Airport
in accordance with the following formula, and Lessee herein
agrees to pay its pro rata portion of such rental:
(6/9 X base rental rate X 51,685 square feet = annual
rental)
However, the fraction in the above formula shall be enlarged
by one -ninth each time that a Certificated Passenger Air
Transportation Company either has begun or does begin
providing Air Transportation services at the Airport after
January 1, 1987. In like manner, the fraction shall be
reduced by one -ninth whenever any Certificated Passenger Air
Transportation Company ceases providing Air Transportation
services at the Airport after January 1, 1987. Except,
-23-
however, such fraction shall not be reduced if any
Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Company with an
unexpired lease takes bankruptcy and refuses to surrender
its lease or allow the City to reclaim the space so occupied
by such Air Transportation Company for any reason
whatsoever.
City and Lessee hereby agree that Lessee and one (1) other
Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Company commenced
providing Air Transportation services at Lubbock International
Airport after January 1, 1987, and that the fraction in the
formula as above set forth shall be adjusted in accordance with
the above described procedure from the dates Lessee and such
other Air Transportation Company commenced services, which dates
were November 12, 1987, and January 31, 1989, respectively.
Notwithstanding the date on which this Lease is executed,
Lessee herein agrees to pay City retroactively in accordance with
this Section 7.03 its pro rata portion of the common boarding
lounge area rental as though this Lease had been executed on
April 1, 1988. However, in calculating such rentals, Lessee
shall be given credit for those boarding lounge area rentals
already paid to City since April 1, 1988. Any boarding lounge
area rentals due City after such calculations are made shall be
immediately due and payable upon execution of this Lease. If
such calculations indicate that boarding lounge area rentals have
been overpaid, Lessee shall receive a credit for such
overpayments.
Lessee, in conjunction with other Certificated Passenger Air
Transportation Companies which now or may hereafter have valid
leases at the Airport, shall provide City with a written schedule
of the pro rata rental due by each Lessee hereunder, and Lessee
agrees to pay its stated pro rata amount monthly. The pro rata
schedule so furnished to City shall remain in effect until such
time as City is provided with a revised schedule of the pro rata
rental amounts executed by all said Lessees, which revised
schedule shall remain in effect until similarly modified.
-24-
Loading gates which have not been designated as common
boarding lounge area shall not be considered as such unless added
to the common area in accordance with this Section 7.03.
However, Lessee may at no additional charge utilize the loading
gates not included in the common area for diversion or off -
schedule operations. Lessee may similarly use these loading
gates for charter flights after negotiating a use fee with the
Airport Board of City. City herein agrees to train Lessee's
personnel to operate such loading gates for these purposes.
Section 7.04 - Rental for Public Address System. Lessee
shall pay a rental rate of $5.00 per month per microphone
connection located on the Exclusive Leased Premises and the non-
exclusive use premises. The rental rate per month will be
adjusted when necessary to reflect the charges imposed on the
City to provide this service.
The microphones located on the non-exclusive use premises
will be provided for use in conjunction with other Certificated
Passenger Air Transportation Companies which now or may hereafter
have valid leases at the Airport. These companies shall provide
City with a written schedule of the pro rata rental due by each
Lessee hereunder and Lessee agrees to pay its stated pro rata
amount monthly. The pro rata schedule so furnished to City shall
remain in effect until such time as City is provided a revised
schedule of the pro rata rental amounts executed by all said
Lessees, which revised schedule shall remain in effect until
similarly modified.
Section 7.05 - Aircraft Storage. City shall have the right
to designate apron parking areas for the storage of Lessee's
aircraft.
Section 7.06 - Time of Payment. Lessee agrees to pay City
the rentals, fees and charges due hereunder at such place as City
may from time to time designate. Unless otherwise herein stated,
the rental for the Exclusive Leased Premises shall be payable
monthly in advance on or before the last day of such month.
Unless otherwise herein stated, all other rentals, fees and
-25-
charges shall be payable in monthly installments covering the
preceding calendar month of operation.
In the event that the commencement or termination of this
agreement falls on any date other than the first or last day of a
calendar month, the applicable rentals, fees and charges (except
landing fees and rentals, fees and charges that are pro rated on
the basis of passenger enplanements, aircraft departures and/or
other such use measurements) for that month shall be paid on a
pro rata basis according to the number of days during which said
particular premises, facilities, rights, licenses, services and
privileges were enjoyed.
City shall, after the end of each calendar month, transmit
to Lessee a statement of the rentals, fees and charges incurred
by Lessee during said month as hereinabove provided. Payment
shall be made by Lessee on or before the 25th day of the month in
which such statement is transmitted.
Lessee shall pay City a late payment charge of five per cent
(5%) of the total amount of rentals, fees and other charges
payable if payment is not made when due.
Section 7.07 - Default for Failure to Pay Rentals. Fees and
Charges. It is expressly agreed that time of payment of the
rentals, fees and charges hereinabove provided is of the essence
in this entire Lease. Therefore, if Lessee fails to pay any
rentals, fees or charges due hereunder within thirty (30) days
after City transmits a statement therefor to Lessee, City may, at
its option, upon fifteen (15) days written notice to Lessee
(unless in such fifteen day period Lessee shall have corrected
such failure to pay) immediately, or at any time thereafter,
enter into and upon the Exclusive Leased Premises, or any part
thereof in the name of the whole, and repossess said premises.
In said event, City may expel Lessee and those claiming by,
through or under Lessee and remove Lessee's effects from Airport
property forcibly, if necessary, without being deemed guilty of
trespass and without prejudice to any remedy which otherwise
might be used for breach of covenant or to collect rentals, fees
-26-
and charges in arrears. Upon such re-entry this Lease shall
terminate.
ARTICLE VIII
READJUSTMENT OF RENTALS, FEES AND OTHER CHARGES
Section 8.01 - Procedure for Readjustment of Rentals, Fees
and Other Charges. On April 1, 1991, and every three (3)
calendar years thereafter that this Lease remains in effect, all
rentals, fees and other charges for the use of any one or all of
the premises and facilities leased hereunder for the succeeding
three-year period shall be subject to renegotiation upon written
notice by either party hereto ninety (90) days prior to the
beginning of the next three-year period. Either party giving
notice shall, at the time, furnish the other party with a
reasonably detailed statement supporting the proposed adjustment.
ARTICLE IX
RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES RESERVED BY CITY
Section 9.01 - Right to Charge Use Fees to Others. Nothing
in this Lease shall be deemed to restrict in any manner City's
right to charge any person, partnership, firm, association or
corporation fees and rentals for the use of City's property or
any improvements thereon where such use of said property or
improvements is of a regular or permanent nature, as
distinguished from a temporary or transitory nature, or where
such use is of such a nature as to constitute the performance of
a commercial business at the Airport. In addition, City shall
have the right to charge persons, partnerships, firms,
associations and corporations a fee no less than that set forth
in mutual assistance ground services agreements, as revised from
time to time. This fee shall be applicable to, but not limited
to, fees for ramp use, jetway use, gate use, training flights and
aircraft storage and landing fees, which shall never be less than
125% of the landing fee charged Lessee as set out in Section 7.02
hereof.
-27-
Section 9.02 - Right to Improve and Protect the Airport. In
addition to any other rights herein retained, City specifically
reserves the following rights and privileges:
(A) The right to further develop or improve the landing
area and other portions of the Airport as City deems
necessary. City agrees to advise Lessee of any
proposed capital expenditure in excess of $100,000 and
to consult with Lessee prior to undertaking such
capital expenditure. However, nothing in this Section
9.02 or elsewhere in this Lease shall be construed as a
delegation of the City's authority to determine when
such capital expenditures are deemed necessary. If
feasible, such improvements shall be made in a manner
which will cause Lessee as little inconvenience as
possible.
(B) The right to take any action City considers necessary
to protect the aerial approaches of the Airport against
obstruction, together with the right to prevent Lessee
from erecting or permitting to be erected any building
or other structure on the Airport which, in the opinion
of City, would limit the usefulness of the Airport or
constitute a hazard to aircraft.
(C) The right during time of war or national emergency to
lease the Airport or any part thereof to the United
States Government for military use. In the event any
such Lease is executed, the rights and privileges
granted Lessee in this instrument insofar as they are
inconsistent with the rights and privileges granted to
the Government shall be suspended.
ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION, INSURANCE AND BONDS
Section 10.01 - Indemnification. Etc.. The parties agree
that Lessee is and shall always be deemed to be an independent
contractor and operator and not an agent or employee of City with
respect to Lessee's acts and omissions hereunder.
-28-
The Lessee agrees that it will indemnify and save the City
harmless from all claims arising out of any demands of
contractors, subcontractors, laborers, workers, suppliers,
mechanics, materialmen and furnishers of equipment or parts
thereof, which claims may be incurred by the activities of Lessee
at the Airport or by reason of any improvements, alterations,
construction or installation on the Exclusive Leased Premises.
Lessee shall indemnify fully and save harmless the City, its
officers, agents and employees from any and all claims and
actions and any and all expenses incidental to the investigation
and defense thereof, based upon or arising out of damages or
injuries to third persons or their property, and caused by the
fault or negligence of Lessee, its contractors, agents or
employees in the construction, use or occupancy of the
facilities, premises and privileges hereunder; provided, however,
that the City shall indemnify fully and save harmless Lessee, its
officers, agents and employees from any and all claims and
actions and any and all expenses incidental to the investigation
and defense thereof, based upon or arising out of damages or
injuries to third persons or their property, and caused by the
fault or negligence of the City, its agents or employees, or
arising out of or as a result of the condition of any of the
publicly used premises in or about said Airport, but such
indemnification shall never exceed the limits of exposure set
forth in the Texas Tort Claims Act when such claims or actions
fall within the terms of said Act. City shall give to Lessee
prompt and reasonable notice of any claims or actions against
City, and failure to so notify Lessee shall relieve Lessee of its
obligations to indemnify the City therefor. In all cases where
Lessee is obligated to indemnify and save harmless the City as
hereinabove provided, Lessee shall have the right to investigate,
compromise and defend any such claims or actions to the extent of
its own interest, and Lessee shall cooperate with City and
protect City's interest to this end. In all cases where City is
required to indemnify and save harmless Lessee as hereinabove
provided, City shall have the right to investigate, compromise
-29-
and defend any such claims or actions to the extent of its own
interest, and City shall cooperate with Lessee and protect
Lessee's interest to this end.
Section 10.02 - Insurance. Lessee shall procure and keep in
effect at all times during the term of this Lease the forms of
insurance set forth in this Section 10.02. All policies or
certificates shall contain a provision requiring the insurers to
give the City written notice of cancellation or of any material
change in said policies or certificates at least thirty (30) days
in advance of the effective date of such cancellation or material
change. Each policy shall also contain a provision waiving the
right of such insurers to subrogation.
Lessee shall maintain all insurance required hereunder with
insurance underwriters authorized to do business in the State of
Texas and satisfactory to City. All policies shall name the
City, its officers, servants, agents and employees as additional
insureds. Before the initial term of this agreement commences,
Lessee shall furnish City with certificates of insurance which
indicate that all insurance and provisions required hereunder are
in full force and effect or shall provide City with certified
copies of said policies.
(A) Fire Insurance - Lessee shall insure for fire and
extended coverage risks all of Lessee's improvements on
the Exclusive Leased Premises. Such insurance shall be
in an amount equal to the full insurable replacement
value of such improvements. All fire insurance
policies shall contain loss payable endorsements in
favor of the parties as their respective interests may
appear hereunder. City agrees that any payments
received from such insurers as a result of loss under
such policies shall be applied toward repair and
reconstruction of said leasehold improvements.
(B) Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance - Prior
to undertaking any activities at the Airport, Lessee
shall obtain comprehensive general liability insurance
for the protection of the City, its officers, agents
-30-
and employees. Lessee shall provide public liability
insurance for personal injuries or death arising out of
any one accident or event in a minimum sum of Three
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) for one person
and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for any one
accident and, in addition, shall provide property
damage liability insurance in a minimum sum of Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) for
property damage arising out of any one accident or
event. Insurance coverages required of Lessee shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time to comply with
any changes in minimum requirements determined by City
to be necessary.
ARTICLE XI
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF LEASED PREMISES
Section 11.01- Partial Damage. If the Exclusive Leased
Premises are partially damaged by fire, explosion, the elements,
a public enemy or other casualty, but not rendered untenantable,
the same will be repaired with due diligence by City at its own
cost and expense; provided, however, that if the damage is caused
by an act or omission of Lessee, its sublessees, agents or
employees, Lessee shall be responsible for repairing said
premises and shall pay the cost therefor.
Section 11.02 - Extensive Damage. If damage from fire,
explosion, the elements, a public enemy or other casualty is so
extensive as to render that portion of the Exclusive Leased
Premises situated within the terminal building untenantable but
capable of being repaired in thirty (30) days, the same shall be
repaired with due diligence by City at its own cost and expense,
and the rent payable herein with respect to such premises shall
be paid proportionately to the time of such damage and thereafter
cease until such time as the premises are fully restored;
provided, however, that if the damage is caused by an act or
omission of Lessee, its sublessees, agents or employees, Lessee
shall be responsible for repairing said premises and shall pay
the cost therefor. During any such period where Lessee is
-31-
responsible for repairing said premises under the terms of this
paragraph, the usual rental shall be payable.
The abatement of rental for the Exclusive Leased Premises,

service from the Airport.
(B) The lawful assumption by the United States Government,

or parts thereof, in such a manner as to substantially
restrict Lessee for a period of at least ninety (90)
days from operating thereon.
(C) The issuance of an injunction by any court of competent
jurisdiction which prevents or restrains the use of the
Airport, or any substantial part thereof, for Airport
purposes, provided such injunction remains in force for
a period of at least ninety (90) days.
-33-
(D) The inability of Lessee to use the Airport for a period
in excess of ninety (90) days or to enjoy any of the
rights, licenses, services or privileges granted to
Lessee hereunder as a result of fire, explosion,
earthquake or other casualty or act of God or a public
enemy, provided that the same is not caused by
negligence or willful acts or failure to act on the
part of Lessee, its sublessees, agents or employees.
(E) Any failure or refusal by the Federal Aviation
Administration which prevents Lessee from operating
into, from or through said Airport such aircraft as
Lessee may reasonably desire to operate.
(F) The default by City in the performance of any covenant
or agreement herein required to be performed by City
and the failure of City to remedy such default for a
period of ninety (90) days after receipt from Lessee of
written notice to remedy the same; provided, however,
that no notice of cancellation, as below required,
shall be of any force or effect if City shall have
remedied the default prior to the receipt of Lessee's
notice of cancellation.
Lessee may exercise such right of cancellation by giving the
Director of Aviation sixty (60) days advance written notice at
any time after the lapse of the applicable period of time herein
stated, and this Lease shall terminate at the end of such sixty
(60) day period. Rental due hereunder shall be payable only to

attributable to the Exclusive Leased Premises when such premises
shall have been completely destroyed by fire, explosion, the
elements, a public enemy or other casualty, and such premises
remain untenantable for more than thirty (30) days, in which
event the rental shall be payable as provided in Article XI,
Section 11.03 hereof.
Lessee's performance of all or any part of this Lease for or
during any period(s) after failure of the City to perform any of
the terms, covenants and conditions herein contained shall not be
-34-
deemed a waiver of any right Lessee has to cancel this Lease for
any subsequent failure by City to so perform, keep or observe any
of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof.
Section 12.03 - Cancellation by City. This Lease shall be
subject to cancellation by City after the occurrence of any one
or more of the following events:

(B) The appointment of a receiver of Lessee's assets.

by Lessee and the failure of Lessee to remedy such
default for a period of sixty (60) days after receipt
of written notice by City to remedy same, except that
default for failure to pay any rentals, fees or charges
shall be governed by Section 7.07.
(F) The lawful assumption by the United States Government,
of the operation, control or use of the Airport, or any

and interests acquired hereunder by Lessee may, at the
option of City and following written notice of ninety
(90) days, be suspended or finally terminated if such
suspension or termination is found by City, acting in
good faith, to be necessary to enable the City to
undertake construction for expansion of the terminal
building, or to secure federal financial aid for the
-35-
development of the Airport, or for the development or
promotion of aeronautical operations thereon.
If any of the aforesaid events occur, City may enter the
Exclusive 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
or in Section 7.07 hereof shall not operate to bar or destroy the
right of City to declare this Lease null and void as a result of
any subsequent violation of the terms of this Lease.
Section 12.04 - Notice of Termination. If any of the events
enumerated in Section 12.03 shall occur, City may cancel and
terminate this Lease by giving Lessee five (5) days written
notice, such cancellation and termination to be effective upon
the date specified in such notice. Rental due shall be payable
only to the date of cancellation.

sell, assign or transfer this Lease, or any part thereof, and
shall not sublease all or any portion of the Exclusive Leased

parties to this Lease agree and understand that the City of
Lubbock has created three classifications of Certificated
Passenger Air Transportation Companies that may provide Air
Transportation services at the Airport and that this Lease is the
standard lease for such air carriers that desire a long-term
lease with the City as defined in Section 1.01. The parties
hereto recognize each of the different classifications as defined
in Section 1.01 of this Lease and that the City of Lubbock may
apply or agree to different terms and conditions in creating
business relationships with Certificated Passenger Air
Transportation Companies that fall into a different
classification than Lessee so long as the terms and conditions
agreed to, as to such other classified air carriers, are
_9C
consistent and uniform within each classification. It is further
understood that any Certificated Passenger Air Transportation
Company which desires a lease at the Airport with an initial term
of three (3) or more years will execute this standard long-term
lease and that the terms and conditions of this long-term lease
shall not change or be modified unless herein stated or agreed to
in writing by all Certificated Passenger Air Transportation
Companies at the Airport classified as holders of standard long-
term leases.
B. It is the further understanding of the parties hereto
that the City has classified Certificated Passenger Air
Transportation Companies who desire to conduct business at the
Airport in accordance with the term of their lease or business
relationship with the City in order to provide the broadest
possible Air Transportation services to the general public, to
encourage new air carriers to test the market for these services
in the Lubbock area and to maintain a fee and rental structure
for the facilities and services being provided by the City
through its Lubbock International Airport which will make the
Airport as self-sustaining as possible.
C. It is the further understanding of the parties that the
City reserves the right to offer different terms and conditions
to Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Companies in
different classifications as herein defined so long as the terms
and conditions offered to the air carriers are the same or
substantially similar within each classification. However,
notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 13.18, the
formulas for calculating rental for the common boarding lounge
area and common bag claim area will be followed by the City for
all classifications of Certificated Passenger Air Transportation
Companies doing business at the Lubbock International Airport.
This Lease shall be executed in triplicate and each executed
document shall be deemed to be an original document.
