options to renew this Lease for additional successive terms of ten (10) years each (each a
"Renewal Term") at a rental rate calculated in accordance with Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of

and Lessee shall no longer have any rights or interest in the Premises following the

($370.00) for its lease of the Premises.

to the Premises annually. Therefore, on the Effective Date, Lessee will pay a fuel flowage
fee payment of$0.13 per gallon, and the above calculations will begin anew through the
following September 30th; provided, however, that the City Council may, in its
discretion, adjust fuel flowage fees and rate scales for all providers of FBO services at
Meacham, as may be set forth in the Schedule of Rates and Charges, in which case the
adjusted rates shall be applied.

each month succeeding that in which aircraft fuels were delivered to the Premises.
Payments must be received during normal working hours by such date at the location for
Lessor's Aviation Department set forth in Section 18. This fee shall be considered past

entire month's fee for each month in which a fee is past due.
3.3. Annual Adjustments.
The Tank Farm Usage Fee and Fuel Flowage Fees as described in 3.1 and 3.2 of
this Lease shall be subject to increase by Lessor on October 1, 2015, and on each October

Department of Labor or successor index and/or agency during the immediately preceding
twelve-month period ("CPI Change"), (i) for the first increase, since the Effective Date
of this Lease and (ii) for each subsequent increase, since the effective date of the last
increase ("Annual Rent Adjustment"); provided, however, that Lessee's rental rate
shall not exceed the then-current rates prescribed by the Schedule of Rates and Charges
for the type or types of property at Meacham similar to the type or types of property that
comprise the Premises. If there is no CPI Change or the CPI Change is downward, the
rental rate for the Premises shall remain constant until the following October 1st. In no
event shall the rental rate for the Premises ever be adjusted downward.
3.5. Other Fees and Charges.
Lessee agrees to pay all other fees and charges stipulated in the Lessor's
published Aviation Minimum Standards ("Minimum Standards") as they exist or may
hereafter be amended and as they apply to the specific operations of Lessee under this
Lease. The Minimum Standards is a public document adopted by the City Council on

same or shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the person or entity causing such

7.5. Lessee's Acceptance of Premises.
Lessee accepts the Premises in its present condition as satisfactory for all

8. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION TO PREMISES.
In the event of fire or other casualty which damages or destroys all or any part of
the Premises, the following provisions shall apply:
8.1. Coverage by Lessee's Insurance.
Lessee's property insurance and self-insurance, as required by Section 13.1 of this
Lease, shall be primary to any insurance on the Premises carried by Lessor and shall be
used exclusively to repair or rebuild the damaged or destroyed portions of the Premises.
Lessee shall be responsible for oversight of all repairs or reconstruction on and to the
Premises and shall repair or rebuild the damaged or destroyed portions of the Premises to
the size and standards that meet or exceed the size and standards of such portions of the
Premises prior to the damage or destruction. All repair and reconstruction activities
carried out by or on behalf of Lessee shall be conducted in accordance with Sections 10.2
through 10.6 of this Lease.
8.2. Premises Uninsured or Underinsured by Lessee.
If Lessee fails to carry adequate property insurance or provide self-insurance
protection in accordance with Section 13.1 of this Lease, and Lessee fails to provide such
property insurance or self-insurance protection within thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof from Lessor, then Lessor, at Lessor's sole option, may (i) terminate this Lease
upon thirty (30) days' advance written notice to Lessee or (ii) repair or rebuild the
Premises substantially to its former condition at Lessor's own cost and expense. If
Lessor notifies Lessee in writing within forty-five (45) days following the date of damage
or destruction that it has exercised its option under (ii) in the preceding sentence and will
be repairing or rebuilding the Premises substantially to its former condition at Lessor's
own cost and expenses, and the damage or destruction does not render the affected
portion of the Premises untenable, this Lease shall continue in effect without any rent
abatement whatsoever so long as Lessor diligently commences the repairs or
reconstruction within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the damage or
destruction. If the damage or destruction does render the affected portion of the Premises
temporarily untenable, or Lessor does not commence the repairs or reconstruction within
one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the damage or destruction, then for the
period of time between such date and the date a certificate of occupancy is issued for the
portion of the Premises that was rendered untenable, rent shall be proportionally reduced
by the amount of square footage rendered untenable. Upon the issuance of a certificate of
Tank Farm and Public Fueling Agreement Page 6 of 21
Richardson Aviation
occupancy and thereafter, rent shall comply with the Schedule of Rates and Charges in
effect at the time as they apply to the Premises as improved by Lessor. By way of
example, if Lessee was paying an unimproved ground rate and, pursuant to this Section
8.2, Lessor repaired or rebuilt an aircraft hangar originally constructed by Lessee, then
the subsequent rental rate would not be that for unimproved land, but rather that which
applied to similar hangar space at Meacham at the time.
9. CONSTRUCTION AND IMPROVEMENTS.
9.1. In General.
Lessee may, at its sole discretion, perform modifications, renovations or
improvements on or to the Premises (collectively, "Improvements") so long as it first
submits all plans, specifications and estimates for the costs of the proposed work in
writing and also requests and receives in writing approval from the Airport Systems
Director. Lessee covenants and agrees that it shall fully comply with all provisions of
this Section 9 in the undertaking of any such Improvements. Lessor shall take full title to
any Improvements on the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease, provided that trade fixtures shall remain the property of Lessee and may be
removed so long as Lessee repairs any damage caused thereby.

standards and must also receive written approval from Lessor's Departments of
Development, Engineering and Transportation/Public Works. All plans, specifications

regulations in force at the time that the plans are presented for review.
9.3. Documents.

documentation relative to any Improvement, including, at a minimum, as-built drawings
of each project. As-built drawings shall be new drawings or redline changes to drawings
previously provided to the Airport Systems Director. Lessee shall supply the textual
documentation in computer format as requested by Lessor.

construction contract or project. The bonds shall guarantee (i) satisfactory compliance by

limited to, the satisfactory completion of the respective Improvements, and (ii) full
Tank Farm and Public Fueling Agreement Page 7 of 21
Richardson Aviation
payments to all persons, firms, corporations or other entities with whom Lessee has a
direct relationship for the construction of such Improvements.
In lieu of the required bond, Lessee may provide Lessor with a cash deposit or an
assignment of a certificate of deposit in an amount equal to 125% of the full amount of
each construction contract or project. If Lessee makes a cash deposit, Lessee shall not be
entitled to any interest earned thereon. Certificates of deposit shall be from a financial
institution in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area which is insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation and acceptable to Lessor. The interest earned on the
certificate of deposit shall be the property of Lessee and Lessor shall have no rights in
such interest. If Lessee fails to complete the respective Improvements, or if claims are
filed by third parties on grounds relating to such Improvements, Lessor shall be entitled
to draw down the full amount of Lessee's cash deposit or certificate of deposit and apply
the proceeds to complete the Improvements or satisfy the claims, provided that any
balance shall be remitted to Lessee.
9.5. Bonds Required of Lessee's Contractors.
Prior to the commencement of any Improvement, Lessee's respective contractor
shall execute and deliver to Lessee surety performance and payment bonds in accordance
with the Texas Government Code, Chapter 2253, as amended, to cover the costs of all
work performed under such contractor's contract for such Improvements. Lessee shall
provide Lessor with copies of such bonds prior to the commencement of such
Improvements. The bonds shall guarantee (i) the faithful performance and completion of
all construction work in accordance with the final plans and specifications as approved by
Lessor and (ii) full payment for all wages for labor and services and of all bills for
materials, supplies and equipment used in the performance of the construction contract.
Such bonds shall name to both Lessor and Lessee as dual obligees. If Lessee serves as its
own contractor, Section 9.4 shall apply.
9.6. Releases by Lessor Upon Completion of Construction Work.
Lessor will allow Lessee a dollar-for-dollar reimbursement from its cash deposit
account or reduction of its claim upon Lessor's certificate of deposit upon (i), where
Lessee serves as its own contractor, verification that Lessee has completed construction
work or (ii), where Lessee uses a contractor, receipt of the contractor's invoice and
verification that the contractor has completed its work and released Lessee to the extent
of Lessee's payment for such work, including bills paid, affidavits and waivers of liens.
10. USE OF PREMISES.
Lessee agrees that it will use the Premises for the sole purpose of aircraft fuel storage and
that it will not store such fuel or receive deliveries of such fuel at any location at Meacham other
than the Premises and any other sites at Meacham that Lessee may lease exclusively (collectively
the "Leased Premises"). Lessee may also sell and dispense such items on (i) the public use
transient apron and (ii) at hangars and on other aprons at Meacham, subject to permission from
Tank Farm and Public Fueling Agreement Page 8 of 21
Richardson Aviation
the respective parties in control of those properties. Lessee shall not in any manner sell or
dispense fuel on the Fuel Farm.
11. SIGNS.
Lessee shall not erect or maintain on the Premises any signs or billboards except those
that, without advertising Lessee's operations at Meacham, identify the fuel stored on the
Premises. All signs permitted by this Lease shall be subject to prior written approval by the
Director as to placement, appearance, construction and conformity with applicable laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations.

to, damages from an alleged disruption of Lessee's business operations.

Tank Farm and Public Fueling Agreement Page 9 of 21

However, nothing in this Lease shall prevent Lessee from pursuing any rights it
may have for reimbursement from the United States Government.
