WHEREAS, the City owns the Corpus Christi International Airport ("Airport"), and the Airport is managed by the Director of Aviation ("Director") on behalf of the City; WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Lease for land and improvements for the purpose of facilitating Lessee's aeronautical services, to include use of office and cargo storage space in a cargo dock area adjacent to the Airport terminal; and, NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, conditions, and mutual covenants made by the parties as stated in this Lease, the Parties agree as follows: SECTION 1. Premises. City leases to the Lessee the real property and existing improvements as depicted in the attached Exhibits A and B (collectively, the "Premises"), such exhibits being incorporated into this Lease by reference as if fully stated in their entireties. The Premises is physically located at 1000 International Drive, Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas, and is located inside a building attached and adjacent to the Airport terminal building. The Premises, entrances to which are not accessible through the terminal, is generally described as follows: approximately 1,192 square feet of combined office and storage space inside a cargo dock area of the Airport terminal; has controlled access entry via a security card reader device; and shares common walkway and/or hallway ingress and egress space with other tenants/users. The Premises is designated and known, for the sole purpose of locating, identifying, and referencing the leased area granted by this Lease, as the "Emerald City Cargo Area." Any separate reference to being "on," "in," "at," or "upon" the Premises is inclusive of all of the foregoing as such may pertain, in context, to the Emerald City Cargo Area and the shared controlled access doors, common walkways, and hallways. SECTION 2. Term. The term of this Lease is 12 months ("Term") and commences September 1, 2021 ("Effective Date"), subject to execution of this instrument by the City Manager. The term may be renewed by mutual consent of the Parties for up to five additional 12 -month periods (individually, a "Renewal Term") on the same terms and conditions; provided, however, that rent during each Renewal Term shall be in the amount determined pursuant to Section 3. Each Renewal Term must be exercised in writing by representatives of the Parties not less than 60 days prior to the annual anniversary date of the Effective Date and state the applicable rent amount due for the then -applicable Renewal Term. SECTION 3. Rent; Payments; Rent Adjustments. A. So long as Lessee continually uses the entire Premises solely for Lessee's aeronautical use, the rent is the amount shown in Exhibit B, with the initial monthly payment being due on the third business day following the Effective Date of this Lease and subsequent monthly rent payments of 1/12th the annual amount due on or before the first day of each month following the expiration of the initial month of the Lease. B. Payment of rent, and of any other fee or charge assessed or due pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made by Lessee without notice or demand from City on or before the date due in legal tender of the United States of America at the City's administrative office at the Airport, or at such other place as the City's Director of Finance & Business Analysis may at any time designate in writing. A late fee of $100 is applicable to the payment of rent when the same is not timely received by the City. Any amount payable to the City which is not, or has not been, paid by Lessee when due shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, and accrued interest shall be remitted by Lessee at the same time such overdue amounts are paid plus any applicable late fees as may be specified in this Agreement. Payments due from Lessee will be received by the City only on standard business days Monday through Friday and during standard business hours 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Payments will not be considered late if the date due falls on a weekend or City holiday, provided, payment is received on the next business day. Payment by Lessee and acceptance by the City of an overdue payment, a late fee, accrued interest, or any of the foregoing, shall not be construed as a waiver or forfeiture of any other rights and remedies of City contained elsewhere in this Agreement or as provided by law. For the purposes of this Agreement, the date payments are received by the City shall be the U.S. Postal Service cancellation date on the envelope transmitting the payment, or the date such payment is received in the administrative office of the Airport by a City employee if the payment is hand delivered. The Director is authorized to act as the City's agent to receive all rents and monthly/annual reports, if any, due from Lessee pursuant to this Lease. C. Notwithstanding the rent amount stated in Exhibit B, Lessee agrees the rent amount is subject to adjustment under subsections C, D, and E of this section, as may be applicable. Rental rates for all Airport properties are adjusted on a five-year cycle and based on a fair market appraisal conducted by or on behalf of the City. The next appraisal is scheduled to be completed on or about November 23, 2023. The City reserves the right to adjust the rental rate in accordance with appraised conditions, adopted policy, provisions of this Lease, or Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") requirements. D. For purposes of determining the fair market value by appraisal, the values determined by the appraiser and included in the appraisal report are final. Adjusted rental rates are effective beginning on the 61st day following written notice to Lessee of the completion of a final appraisal report. Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease within 30 days of the date of written notice of a rental rate increase should the increase be more than 20% of the then -current rental rate, according to the rates shown in the final appraisal report. E. Each Renewal Term is subject to a 3% increase notwithstanding the rental rate that may be established by the appraisal report. SECTION 4. Acceptance of Premises Disclaimer. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS LEASING THE PREMISES "AS IS" WITH ALL FAULTS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY AND ALL POLLUTANTS, ASBESTOS, UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS, AND ANY OTHER HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AS MAY EXIST ON THE PREMISES AND THAT NEITHER CITY NOR ANY EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF CITY HAS MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE CONDITION OF SUCH PREMISES. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LESSEE HAS BEEN PROVIDED, TO ITS SATISFACTION, THE OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE PREMISES FOR ANY DEFECTS AS TO THE SUITABILITY OF SUCH PROPERTY FOR THE PURPOSE TO WHICH LESSEE INTENDS TO PUT THE PREMISES AND IS RELYING ON ITS OWN INSPECTION. THIS LEASE IS SUBJECT TO ALL COVENANTS, EASEMENTS, RESERVATIONS, RESTRICTIONS, AND OTHER MATTERS OF RECORD AND NOT OF RECORD APPLICABLE TO THE PREMISES. Page 2 of 15 SECTION 5. Use of Premises. A Lessee shall have the right to use and occupy the Premises solely for the operation of Lessee's aeronautical services and shall use the Premises for no other purpose without the express written consent of the Director. B. Lessee may not use or occupy, permit the Premises to be used or occupied, nor do or permit anything to be done in, on, or at the Premises in a manner that would, in any way, void or make voidable any insurance then in force with respect to the Premises or operations at the same or that would make it impossible to obtain the insurance required to be furnished by Lessee under this Lease. C. Lessee may not make any unlawful use of the Premises nor permit any unlawful use thereof and will not commit, nor permit anyone else to commit, any act which is a nuisance or annoyance to the Airport, other Airport tenants, adjacent property owners or tenants, or which might, in the Director's sole judgment, appreciably damage the City's operations at the Airport, the City's or Airport's goodwill or reputation, or tend to injure or depreciate the value of the Premises and/or any improve-ments located on, in, or at the same. D. Lessee acknowledges that the City reserves the right to temporarily use the Premises, at no cost to the City, as a pre- or post -emergency evacuation, storage, or operations facility if deemed necessary under emergency management conditions due to a natural or man-made disaster or occurrence. E. The City is not required to make any expenditure nor incur any obligation or liability of any kind whatsoever in connection with the Lessee's leasehold financing or any construction, maintenance, or repair of the Premises. F. If the Premises is partially damaged due to an act of God, fire, or other casualty to the extent that Lessee cannot use that portion of the Premises for its intended purpose, then, at Lessee's option, this Lease may be suspended or terminated until the damage is repaired. If the Lease is suspended, Lessee and City will mutually agree on a time period for Lessee to repair the damage to the Premises. If the Lease is terminated, the rent will be abated from the date of the casualty, provided, however, that Lessee must use its insurance proceeds to repair or replace the damaged Premises to its condition at the time of execution of this Lease. Any remaining insurance proceeds after all repair costs have been expended and the Premises restored will be paid to Lessee. The City Manager is the sole judge of the extent of damage to any City facilities, including the Premises. SECTION 6. Parking. Non-exclusive use of parking spaces for passenger motor vehicles of Lessee's employees, suppliers, and invitees is available in a very limited number adjacent to the Premises. Lessee acknowledges that use of the parking spaces shall fully comply with all City laws and Airport rules and regulations governing parking and vehicle usage at the Airport, and Lessee shall require Lessee's employees, suppliers, invitees, customers, and guests to so comply as well. The Director of Aviation reserves the right to cancel the use of the parking spaces or to redirect the parking of passenger vehicles and the use of parking spaces at any time as may be deemed necessary, either temporarily or permanently, for the safe and efficient operation of the Airport. SECTION 7. Signs. Lessee may install City ordinance compliant signs on the Premises at its sole cost; provided, however, that the Lessee has obtained the Director's prior written consent as to the size, type, design, number, and location of the sign(s) or other company/corporate identification, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. SECTION 8. Right to Amend. If the FAA or its successor agency requires modifications or amendments to this Lease as a condition precedent to the granting of funds to the City for Airport improvements, Lessee agrees to consent to the modifications or amendments to the Lease as may be reasonably required, provided, however, Lessee will not be required to pay any increased rent, change Page 3 of 15 the use of the Premises, or accept a relocation or reduction in size of the Premises until Lessee and the City have fully executed an amendment to this Lease that is mutually satisfactory to both Parties regarding any terms or conditions of this Lease affected by the actions of the FAA. SECTION 9. Subordination to U.S./FAA Requirements. This Lease is subordinate to the provisions of any existing or future agreement between the City, acting through the Airport, and the United States of America relating to the operation or maintenance of the Airport, where the execution of said agreement(s) is required as a condition to the expenditure of federal funds for the development of the Airport. If the effect of said agreement(s) with the United States, either under this Section 9 or under Section 8 above, is to remove any or all of the Premises from the control of the Airport or to substantially destroy the value of the Premises, then, this Lease shall terminate immediately without any further obligation on the part of the City to Lessee nor any recourse by Lessee against the City. Lessee fully understands, acknowledges, and accepts the subordination requirement associated with this Lease and the Premises. SECTION 10. Development of Improvements. A. Lessee shall not construct any structural or other improvements ("Improvements") on the Premises without the prior written approval of the Director and the City's Director of Engineering Services. Where required by law, approval of the City is subject to the concurrence of the FAA. Any Improvements must substantially conform to the plans, specifications, and requirements approved by the City and FAA, if applicable. B. ANY APPROVALS BY THE CITY UNDER THIS SECTION INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, APPROVALS OF DESIGNS, PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS; AND INSPECTION OF WORK, DESIGN, OR CONSTRUCTION, ARE NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS A REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR STATEMENT AS TO THE QUALITY, SOUNDNESS, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR SAFETY OF THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION METHOD OF ANY IMPROVEMENT(S) INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE EXISTING IMPROVEMENTS, OR FACILITIES RELATED TO THE SAME. C. When required by the City, Lessee shall furnish the City with two sets of complete plans and specifications for Improvements proposed to be placed or constructed on the Premises and complete as -built plans following completion of construction. No work may be performed by Lessee, its contractors, or subcontractors without the prior written approval of such plans by the City, acting through its Director and its Director of Engineering Services. D. Upon termination of this Lease, Lessee agrees that ownership of any Improvements constructed by Lessee on the Premises during this Lease automatically reverts to the City free and clear of all liens, claims, and other encumbrances or adverse interests in the Premises or the Improvements located thereon. SECTION 11. Lessee's Repair and Maintenance Obligations. A. Premises. Lessee, at its own expense, shall maintain the Premises and Improvements in good appearance and in a safe condition. Lessee shall maintain all pre-existing improvements and leasehold Improvements on the Premises (including, without limitation, parking lots, sidewalks, roofs, walls, partitions, floors, ceilings, windows, doors, and glass, and all furnishings, fixtures, and equipment therein).

Page 4 of 15 B. Quality of Maintenance. It is the intent of the City and Lessee that the Premises, existing improvements, and leasehold Improvements be repaired and maintained in a manner that shall keep the Improvements intact, in good repair, and in a condition so that the Improvements will be usable at the end of the Lease. Lessee must comply with the maintenance obligations, as stated in this Agreement and any applicable governmental laws, rules, or regulations. The Director is the sole judge of the quality of Lessee's maintenance, which must be reasonable and consistent with other Airport properties. The Director may at any time, during City's normal business hours, upon prior notice unless an emergency exists, enter upon the Premises to determine if the maintenance requirements of this Lease are being complied with by Lessee. The Director must notify Lessee in writing of any default observed regarding maintenance or repair. If the required maintenance or repair described in the Director's notice to Lessee is not commenced within 10 days following the date of such written notice, or is not diligently prosecuted to completion, the Director may, but is not obligated to, enter upon the Premises and perform the subject maintenance or repair. Lessee agrees to reimburse the Airport for its incurred cost in performing such maintenance or repair plus a 15% administrative fee within 30 days after the Director's written demand, together with copies of all paid receipts for such repairs and/or maintenance.

SECTION 12. Security. Lessee, its officers, employees, agents, contractors, invitees, and guests must comply with all applicable federal, State, and local security and/or safety regulations, as the same may be amended. To the extent allowed by law, Lessee covenants to indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers, officials, employees, and agents from any and all charges, fines, or penalties that may be assessed or levied by the FAA or Transportation Security Administration by reason of the negligent or intentional failure of Lessee or any of its officers, employees, agents, contractors, invitees, or guests to comply with security and/or safety regulations, regardless of whether the fine, charge, or penalty is assessed or levied against the City or the Lessee. SECTION 13. CFR Part 77 Requirements. Lessee covenants to comply with the notification and review requirements set out in Part 77 of the FAA Regulations pursuant to 14 CFR Part 77, as amended, if Lessee plans to construct or modify any structure, antenna, or building located on the Premises or to be constructed on the Premises as an Improvement. SECTION 14. Control of Structures. Lessee shall not erect nor permit the erection of any structure, antenna, building, or object, nor permit the growth of any tree on the Premises, which has its highest point above a mean sea level elevation established by FAA and the City as a height limitation on said structure, antenna, building, or object. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that the City may enter the Premises and remove the encroaching structure, antenna, building, or object without notice and at Lessee's expense plus an additional administrative charge of 15%. SECTION 15. Aerial Approaches. The Director may take any action necessary to protect the Airport's aerial approaches against obstruction, including the right to prevent Lessee from erecting or permitting to be erected any building, structure, or object on or adjacent to the Airport which, in the Director's opinion, would limit the usefulness of the Airport or constitute a hazard to aircraft.

No fuel storage tanks shall be located or permitted on the Premises. C.

Lessee shall furnish to the Director, within five days of receipt by Lessee, copies of any and all notices or correspondence directed to Lessee or any other party at the Premises from any governmental entity, other entity, or person indicating a violation or possible violation of any laws, rules, or regulations including, without limitation, any law, rule, or regulation regarding hazardous materials or substances (as such term is defined in this Lease).

The concessionaire or contractor (Lessee) agrees to include the above statements in any subsequent concession agreement or contract covered by 49 CFR Part 23 that it enters and causes those businesses to similarly include the statements in further agreements. C. Remedy for Breach. If the Lessee is found by a final verdict of a court of competent jurisdiction to have deliberately breached a non-discrimination covenant, or to have permitted any sublessee to deliberately breach a non-discrimination covenant, the City may immediately enforce the remedies directed by the Court's decision, which may include the City's right to reenter the Premises, retake possession thereof, and terminate the Lease. This provision is not effective until the procedures of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 21 are completed, including exercise of any rights to appeal. D. Affirmative Action.
