(2) a discharge, disposal or release of Hazardous Material on the Premises prior to the date upon which Lessee first occupied the premises and not caused by Lessee or Lessee’s agents, employees, contractors, invitees or Trespassers; or (3) a discharge, disposal or release caused by the County, its agents, employees, contractors or any third party. Should the Aviation Department determine that such a demonstration has not been made to Aviation Department’s satisfaction, Lessee may invoke the dispute resolution provision of 8.16. Until such time as the parties reach an agreement or such time as the dispute is otherwise resolved, responsibility for such Hazardous Material shall remain with Lessee.

(B) County’s responsibility for Remediation under this Article 8.04 shall be limited to the Recognized Environmental Conditions required to be remediated under applicable Environmental Requirements. If County is permitted to leave any Hazardous Material in place under applicable Environmental Requirements, County shall have the option of so doing, unless a governmental authority requires at any time the removal of Hazardous Materials for Lessee to be able to continue with construction or occupancy of the Premises. The County shall notify Lessee of any such decision to leave Hazardous Material in place.

(C) (1) To the extent they exist, the County has made available to Lessee a listing of contamination assessment reports and remedial action plans regarding any soil and groundwater contamination at the Premises. Such list is found on Exhibit K-03 to this Agreement. The County may have already installed or may have plans to install remediation systems to clean up the contamination described in such reports to the extent they exist. Lessee agrees that during the term of the Agreement, County’s authorized representatives shall have the right to enter the Premises in order to operate, inspect, maintain, relocate and replace any such

14

installed systems. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the County shall have the right to: (a) install, use, monitor, remove (or, in connection with monitoring wells, abandon in place in accordance with applicable governmental regulations) soil borings, treatment systems, pumps, monitoring wells, and associated equipment; (b) construct, maintain, and ultimately remove various mechanical devices designed to aid in the monitoring and remediating effort; and (c) undertake such related activities as the Aviation Department or other governmental authorities may require or recommend, utilizing such methods as the Aviation Department or the applicable governmental authorities may elect in order to remediate the contamination described in any such reports.

(2) County shall utilize reasonable efforts to minimize any disturbance of the Lessee’s use of the Premises caused by any Remediation it undertakes and shall provide Lessee prior written notice of such Remediation. Lessee agrees that it shall not unreasonably interfere with or obstruct such Remediation. County and Lessee each agree to take such action as may be reasonable to coordinate their operations so as to minimize any interference with the other party. If vehicles, equipment, or materials belonging to the Lessee have to be temporarily relocated to permit the Remediation to be performed, the Lessee will effect such relocation at no expense to the County. Attached to Exhibit K-03 is a site sketch of the Premises describing any existing or currently planned Remediation equipment and depicting the current and proposed future location of such equipment.

(3) If Remediation equipment or materials need to be temporarily stored in a secure location on the Premises, the Lessee will provide reasonable storage inside the building on the Premises for such equipment and materials at no expense to the County, provided, however, that Lessee shall bear no liability and otherwise shall have no responsibility for any theft of and/or damage to such equipment or materials so stored, to the extent Lessee took reasonable measures to prevent, such theft and/or damage and such theft and/or damage was not caused by Lessee or Lessee’s employees. To the extent that water and electrical service within the Premises are not metered and the Lessee does not pay for such services directly, the Lessee will provide the County with water and electrical service from the Premises in connection with the Remediation, without charge. The Lessee acknowledges the Remediation may be conducted at the locations depicted on the site sketch attached to Exhibit K-03 at any time during the term of the Agreement and may continue until such time as a no further action letter is obtained from the appropriate regulatory authorities.

15

8.05 Baseline Audit: The County has provided Lessee with a copy of an environmental audit of the Premises, conducted to identify any Recognized Environmental Conditions associated with the Premises, which audit may include analyses of soil and groundwater samples (the initial “Baseline Audit”). Except to the extent Lessee previously occupied the Premises, the County shall be responsible for any Recognized Environmental Conditions within the meaning of ASTM E 1527-05, or most recent version, disclosed by the Baseline Audit. Except to the extent Lessee previously occupied the Premises, Lessee may terminate this Agreement within sixty (60) days of receipt of the Baseline Audit if Lessee, in its sole discretion, determines that the Recognized Environmental Conditions disclosed in such Baseline Audit are unacceptable. To the extent Lessee previously occupied the Premises, Lessee, subject to its right to invoke the dispute resolution provision of 8.16, shall be responsible for all Recognized Environmental Conditions disclosed in the Baseline Audit, which are not otherwise Baseline Environmental Conditions, unless Lessee demonstrates to the County’s satisfaction that the Recognized Environmental Conditions originated from (1) a discharge, disposal or release outside of the Premises, unless such discharge, disposal or release was caused by Lessee, Lessee’s agents employees, contractors or invitees; or (2) a discharge, disposal or release of Hazardous Material on the Premises prior to Lessee’s first occupancy of the Premises and not caused by Lessee, Lessee’s agents, employees, contractors, invitees, or Trespassers.

8.06 Lessee Audit: Lessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to conduct, within sixty (60) days from the receipt of the Baseline Audit, an environmental inspection of the Premises (the “Lessee Audit”), through an independent environmental consultant approved in writing by County, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Lessee elects to conduct a Lessee Audit, it shall furnish County a copy of the Lessee Audit within thirty (30) days of Lessee’s receipt of the Lessee Audit. The purpose of the Lessee Audit is to determine whether there are present on the Premises any Recognized Environmental Conditions not identified in the Baseline Audit, any previous audits, or any contamination assessment reports or remedial action plans, to the extent any such documents exist. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Lessee Audit, the County shall notify Lessee if it disputes the Recognized Environmental Conditions or the delineation of any subsurface conditions described in the Lessee Audit. If the Lessee Audit reveals any Recognized Environmental Conditions or delineates any subsurface contamination not disclosed in any contamination assessment reports, remedial action plans, or the Baseline Audit, and which are not otherwise considered Baseline Environmental Conditions under the terms of this Agreement, then, except to the extent that Lessee previously occupied the Premises, the County, at its option, shall: (i) allow Lessee to terminate the Agreement, without penalty, within sixty (60) days of receipt of such notice of dispute from the County; or (ii) notify Lessee that it has agreed to be responsible for such Recognized Environmental Conditions and delineated subsurface contamination to the same extent as the County is responsible for the Recognized Environmental Conditions and subsurface contamination disclosed in any contamination assessment reports, remedial action plans and the Baseline Audit. If the County allows Lessee to terminate the Agreement and Lessee elects not to terminate, Lessee’s failure to terminate shall constitute a waiver of 1) Lessee’s rights to terminate its obligations under this Agreement as to any findings in such Lessee Audit, except as to its right to cancel the lease on thirty (30) days’ notice under Article 1.01 (B) and, 2) as provided in Article 8.04, any claim it may have against the County with respect either to Recognized

16

Environmental Conditions and subsurface contamination disclosed in such Lessee Audit. To the extent the Lessee previously occupied the Premises, Lessee shall be responsible for all Recognized Environmental Conditions disclosed in the Lessee Audit that are not Baseline Environmental Conditions unless Lessee demonstrates to the satisfaction of Aviation Department Management by written notice setting forth Lessee’s explanation why the Recognized Environmental Conditions originated from (1) a discharge, disposal or release outside of the Premises, unless such discharge, disposal or release was caused by Lessee, Lessee’s agents, employees, contractors, or invitees; (2) a discharge, disposal or release of Hazardous Material on the Premises prior to the Occupancy Date and not caused by Lessee or Lessee’s agents, employees, contractors, invitees or Trespassers; or (3) a discharge, disposal or release caused by County or third party. Should the Aviation Department determine that such a demonstration has not been made to Aviation Department’s satisfaction, Lessee may invoke the dispute resolution provision of 8.16. Until such time as the parties reach an agreement or until such time as the dispute is otherwise resolved, responsibility for such Recognized Environmental Condition shall remain with Lessee.

8.07 Environmental Maintenance of Premises: Except for the obligations of the County under this Article 8, Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep, maintain and use the Premises, and operate within the Premises at all times, in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, and shall maintain the Premises in good and sanitary order, condition, and repair.

8.08 Lessee’s Use of Hazardous Materials: Exhibit K-08 is a complete list of all Hazardous Materials which Lessee currently intends to use on the Premises or Other Airport Property during the term of the Agreement which have been approved by the County, and the use, storage and transportation of which on or about the Premises shall not be subject to County’s approval or objections. Except for those Hazardous Materials listed on Exhibit K-08, Lessee shall not use, store, generate, treat, transport, or dispose of any Hazardous Material on the Premises or Other Airport Property without first providing the County thirty (30) days written notice prior to bringing such Hazardous Material upon the premises. To the extent certain Hazardous Materials are be needed to be used by Lessee on a non-routine basis, such as for emergency repairs, Lessee may provide such notice within twenty-four (24) hours of bringing such Hazardous Material upon the premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, County may object to the use of any previously approved Hazardous Material should County reasonably determine that the continued use of the Hazardous Material by Lessee presents a material increased risk of site contamination, damage or injury to persons, Premises, resources on or near the Premises or Other Airport Property, or noncompliance due to a change in regulation of such Hazardous Material under applicable Environmental Law. Upon County’s objection, Lessee shall immediately remove the Hazardous Material from the site. This Section 8.08 shall not apply to Hazardous Materials which are not used, generated, treated or disposed of by Lessee but which are otherwise transported by Lessee solely in the course of Lessee’s business, such as cargo operations, and for which Lessee has no knowledge as to the identity of such hazardous materials prior to such transport. County’s objection or failure to object to the use, storage, generation, treatment, transportation, or disposal of

17

Hazardous Material under this paragraph, or the exclusion of certain Hazardous Materials under this paragraph, shall not limit or affect Lessee’s obligations under this Agreement, including Lessee’s duty to remedy or remove releases or threatened releases; to comply with applicable Environmental Law and/or Environmental Requirements relating to the use, storage, generation, treatment, transportation, and/or disposal of any such Hazardous Materials; or to indemnify County against any harm or damage caused thereby. Lessee shall promptly and completely answer periodic questionnaires from the County concerning Lessee’s practices regarding the generation, use, storage, and disposal of Hazardous Materials under this Agreement.

8.09 Entry by County:

(A) Notwithstanding any other right of entry granted to County under this Agreement, and subject to the requirements set forth in Article 8.09(B), MDAD shall have the right, at its own expense and upon reasonable notice, to enter the Premises or to have consultants enter the Premises throughout the Term of this Agreement for the purposes of: (1) determining whether the Premises are in conformity with applicable Environmental Law; (2) conducting an environmental review or investigation of the Premises; (3) determining whether Lessee has complied with the applicable environmental requirements of this Agreement; (4) determining the corrective measures, if any, required of Lessee to ensure the safe use, storage, and disposal of Hazardous Materials; or (5) removing Hazardous Materials (except to the extent used, stored, generated, treated, transported, or disposed of by Lessee in compliance with applicable Environmental Requirements and the terms of this Agreement). Lessee agrees to provide access and reasonable assistance for such inspections. MDAD shall use its best efforts to reasonably minimize interruptions of business operations on the Premises.

(B) Such inspections may include, but are not limited to, entering the Premises or adjacent property with drill rigs or other machinery for the purpose of obtaining laboratory samples of environmental conditions or soil or groundwater conditions. Lessee shall have the right to collect split samples of any samples collected by MDAD, MDAD shall not be limited in the number of such inspections during the Term of this Agreement MDAD will conduct such inspections during Lessee’s normal business hours, but MDAD may conduct such inspections in other than normal business hours if the circumstances so require. For inspections conducted by MDAD, MDAD agrees to provide Lessee with reasonable notice (not less than twenty four (24) hours) prior to inspecting the Premises; provided however, that such notice period shall not apply under circumstances in which MDAD reasonably determines that there exists an immediate threat to the health, safety, or welfare of any persons. Based on the results of such inspections, should MDAD reasonably determine that Hazardous Materials have been released, discharged, stored, or used on the Premises in violation of the terms of this Agreement, Lessee shall, in

18

a timely manner, at its expense, remove such Hazardous Materials in a manner not inconsistent with applicable Environmental Law and otherwise comply with the reasonable recommendations of MDAD and any regulatory authorities related to the results of such inspections. The right granted to MDAD herein to inspect the Premises shall not create a duty on MDAD’s part to inspect the Premises, nor liability of MDAD for Lessee’s use, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials, it being understood that Lessee shall be solely responsible for all liability in connection therewith. MDAD shall provide the results of such inspections to the Lessee in a timely manner if requested to do so in writing. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit, restrain, impair or interfere with County’s regulatory authority to conduct inspections and/or the manner in which it conducts such inspections. Lessee shall not be liable or otherwise responsible for any property damage to the Premises or injury to any person caused by County, its agents or consultants during County’s inspection under this Section 8.09.

8.10 Permits and Licenses: The Lessee warrants that it will secure at the times required by issuing authorities all applicable permits or approvals that are required by any governmental authority having lawful jurisdiction to enable Lessee to conduct its obligations under this Agreement. Upon written request, Lessee shall provide to County copies of all permits, licenses, certificates of occupancy, approvals, consent orders, or other authorizations issued to Lessee under applicable Environmental Requirements, as they pertain to the Lessee’s operations on or use of the Premises or Other Airport Property.

8.11 Notice of Discharge to County:

(A) In the event of: (i) the happening of any material event involving the spill, release, leak, seepage, discharge or clean-up of any Hazardous Material on the Premises or Other Airport Property in connection with Lessee’s operation thereon; or (ii) any written Environmental Claim affecting Lessee from any person or entity resulting from Lessee’s use of the Premises or Other Airport Property, then Lessee shall immediately notify County orally within twenty-four (24) hours and in writing within three (3) business days of said notice. If County is reasonably satisfied that Lessee is not promptly commencing the response to either of such events. County shall have the right but not the obligation to enter onto the Premises or to take such other actions as it shall deem reasonably necessary or advisable to clean up, remove, resolve or minimize the impact of or otherwise deal with any such Hazardous Material or Environmental Claim following receipt of any notice from any person or any entity having jurisdiction asserting the existence of any Hazardous Material or an Environmental Claim pertaining to the Premises, which if true, could result in an order, suit or other action against the County. If Lessee is unable to resolve such action in a manner which results in no liability on the part of County, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by County shall be deemed additional rent due County under this Agreement and shall be payable by Lessee upon demand, except to the extent they relate to a Baseline Environmental Condition.

19

(B) With regard to any reporting obligation arising out of Lessee’s operations or during the Agreement, Lessee shall timely notify the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, as appropriate, with regard to any and all applicable reporting obligations while simultaneously providing written notice to County.

(C) Within sixty (60) days of execution of this Agreement, Lessee shall submit to County an emergency action plan/contingency plan setting forth in detail Lessee’s procedures for responding to spills, releases, or discharges of Hazardous Materials. The emergency action plan and/or contingency plan shall identify Lessee’s emergency response coordinator and Lessee’s emergency response contractor.

8.12 Reports to County: For any year in which any Hazardous Materials have been used, generated, treated, stored, transported or otherwise been present on or in the Premises, (or on or in other Airport property for purposes related to Lessee’s operations on the Premises), Lessee shall provide County with a written report listing: the Hazardous Materials which were present on the Premises or other Airport property; all releases of Hazardous Material that occurred or were discovered on the Premises or other Airport property and which were required to be reported to regulatory authorities under applicable Environmental Laws; all enforcement actions related to such Hazardous Materials, including all, consent agreements or other non-privileged documents relating to such enforcement actions during that time period. In addition, Lessee shall provide County with copies of any reports filed in accordance with the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) and shall make available for review upon request by County copies of all manifests for hazardous wastes generated from operations on the Premises. Lessee shall provide the report required under this section to the County by April 1 of each year for the preceding calendar year.

8.13 Periodic Environmental Audits: Lessee shall establish and maintain, at its sole expense, a system to assure and monitor its continued compliance on the Premises with all applicable Environmental Laws, which system shall include, no less than once each year a detailed review of such compliance (the “Environmental Audit”) by such consultant or consultants as County may approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Alternatively, if the Aviation Department approves, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, such Environmental Audit may be conducted by Lessee’s personnel but in either case Lessee shall provide County with a copy or summary of its report of its annual Environmental Audit, which shall be consistent with ASTM’s “Practice for Environmental Regulatory Compliance Audits” which shall include in its scope the

20

items listed in Exhibit K-13 hereto or other recognized format approved by County. If the Environmental Audit indicates any unresolved violation of any applicable Environmental Law and/or Environmental Requirements, Lessee shall, at the request of County, provide a detailed review of the status of any such violation within thirty (30) days of the County’s request.

8.14 Remediation of Hazardous Material Releases: If Lessee or Lessee’s agents, employees, contractors, invitees or trespassers cause any Hazardous Materials to be released, discharged, or otherwise located on or about the Premises or Other Airport Property during the term of this Agreement (“Hazardous Material Release”), Lessee shall promptly take all actions, at its sole expense and without abatement of rent, as are reasonable and necessary to return the affected portion of the Premises or Other Airport Property and any other affected soil or groundwater to their condition existing prior to the Hazardous Material Release in a manner not inconsistent with applicable Environmental Law. County shall have the right to approve all such remedial work, including, without limitation: (i) the selection of any contractor or consultant Lessee proposes to retain to investigate the nature or extent of such Hazardous Material Release or to perform any such remedial work; (ii) any reports or disclosure statements to be submitted to any governmental authorities prior to the submission of such materials; and (iii) any proposed remediation plan or any material revision thereto prior to submission to any governmental authorities. The County’s approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, County’s prior consent shall not be necessary if a Hazardous Material Release poses an immediate threat to the health, safety, or welfare of any persons and, despite Lessee’s best efforts, it is not practicable to obtain County’s consent before taking remedial action to abate such immediate threat, provided that: (a) Lessee shall notify County as soon as possible and shall thereafter obtain County’s consent as otherwise provided in this paragraph; and (b) Lessee shall take only such action as may be necessary or appropriate to abate such immediate threat and shall otherwise comply with the provisions of this paragraph. In addition to any rights reserved by County in this Agreement, County shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate with Lessee, Lessee’s consultants and Lessee’s contractors in any meetings with representatives of the governmental authorities and Lessee shall provide County reasonable notice of any such meetings. All remedial work shall be performed in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws. The County’s consent to any remedial activities undertaken by Lessee shall not be withheld so long as County reasonably determines that such activities will not cause any material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the Premises, or other adjoining property owned by County. Lessee’s obligations in this section do not apply to Baseline Environmental Conditions.

8.15 Indemnity: Lessee shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to County), and hold County, its directors, officers, employees, agents, assigns, and any successors to County’s interest in the Premises, harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), claim, cause of action, judgment, penalty, fine, or liability, directly or indirectly, relating to or arising from the use, storage, release, discharge, handling, or presence of

21

Hazardous Materials on, under, or about the Premises or Other Airport Property and caused by Lessee, Lessee’s agents, employees, contractors, invitees or trespassers. This indemnification shall include without limitation: (a) personal injury claims; (b) the payment of liens; (c) diminution in the value of the Premises or Other Airport Property; (d) damages for the loss or restriction on use of the Premises or Other Airport Property; (e) sums paid in settlement of claims; (f) reasonable attorneys’ fees, consulting fees, and expert fees, (g) the cost of any investigation of site conditions, and (h) the cost of any repair, cleanup, remedial, removal, or restoration work or detoxification if required by any governmental authorities or deemed necessary in County’s reasonable judgment, but shall not extend to such claims, payment, diminution, damages, sums, fees or costs to the extent caused (i) solely by an act of God or (ii) by the negligent or willful misconduct of the County, its officers, employees, contractors or agents. For any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with the Hazardous Materials Release, County shall have the right at its expense but not the obligation to join and participate in such proceedings or actions in which the County is a named party, and control that portion of the proceedings in which it is a named party. County may also negotiate, defend, approve, and appeal any action in which County is named as a party taken or issued by any applicable governmental authorities with regard to a Hazardous Materials Release; provided, however, claims for which Lessee may be liable pursuant to this Article 8.15 shall not be settled without Lessee’s consent. Any costs or expenses incurred by County for which Lessee is responsible under this paragraph or for which Lessee has indemnified County: (i) shall be paid to County on demand, during the term of this Agreement as additional rent; and (ii) from and after the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement shall be reimbursed by Lessee on demand. Lessee’s obligations pursuant to the foregoing indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and shall bind Lessee’s successors and assignees and inure to the benefit of County’s successors and assignees. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this section 8.15 does not apply to Baseline Environmental Conditions or a discharge, disposal or release caused by the County, its officers, employees, contractors or agents.

(A) This indemnity specifically includes the direct obligation of Lessee to perform, at its sole cost and expense, any remedial or other activities required or ordered by court or agency having competent jurisdiction over the subject matter, or otherwise necessary to avoid or minimize injury or liability to any person, or to prevent the spread of Hazardous Materials.

(B) In addition, because costs of Hazardous Materials discharges are passed on to airlines through the residual rate charging mechanism at Miami International Airport and the charges to Lessee will be increased to offset such costs. Lessee agrees in order to minimize its obligations in this regard to use best efforts to assist the Aviation Department in responding to Hazardous Materials spills in or Airport property reasonably close the Premises used by Lessee by making Lessee’s remediation equipment and personnel available for such emergency remediation activity. However, Lessee may provide such assistance only at the direct request of the Aviation Department and only if Lessee’s remediation equipment is

22

intended to be utilized for the Hazardous Material spill at issue and only if Lessee’s personnel have been trained to respond to the Hazardous Material spill at issue. If Lessee is directed to perform any remedial work under this Article 8.15(B) for which it is later determined that Lessee is not responsible, the Aviation Department shall reimburse Lessee for all costs associated with or arising out of Lessee’s performance of such remedial work. Lessee shall cooperate with the Aviation Department in any subsequent effort by the Aviation Department to recover from the responsible parties all costs involved with the remediation effort that utilized Lessee’s equipment and personnel. Lessee shall perform all such work in its own name in accordance with applicable laws. Lessee acknowledges that the County’s regulatory power in this regard is independent of the County’s contractual undertakings herein, and nothing herein shall affect the County’s right in its regulatory capacity to impose its environmental rules, regulations, and authorities upon the Lessee in accordance with the law.

(C) In the event Lessee fails to perform its obligations in Article 8.15(A) above, and without waiving its rights hereunder, County may, at its option, perform such remedial work as described in Article 8.15(A) above, and thereafter seek reimbursement for the costs thereof. In accordance with this Article 8, Lessee shall permit County or its designated representative access to the Premises areas to perform such remedial activities.

(D) Whenever County has incurred costs described in this section as a result of the failure of Lessee to perform its obligations hereunder, Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice thereof, reimburse County for all such expenses together with interest at the rate of 1 ^1/2 % per month on the outstanding balance commencing on the thirty-first date following Lessee’s receipt of such notice until the date of payment.

(E) To the extent of Lessee’s responsibility under this Article and without limiting its obligations under any other paragraph of this Agreement, and except to the extent of County’s responsibility for environmental conditions set forth in this Article 8, Lessee shall be solely and completely responsible for responding to and complying with any administrative notice, order, request or demand, or any third party claim or demand relating to potential or actual Hazardous Materials contamination on the Premise. Lessee’s responsibility under this paragraph includes but is not limited to responding to such orders on behalf of County and defending against any assertion of County’s financial responsibility or individual duty to perform under such orders. Lessee shall assume, pursuant to the indemnity provision set forth in this Article 8, any liabilities or responsibilities which are assessed against County in any action described under this paragraph.

23

8.16 Dispute Resolution: County and Lessee agree that any dispute between them relating to this Article 8 will first be submitted, by written notice, to a designated representative of both County and Lessee who will meet at County’s place of business or other mutually agreeable location, or by teleconference, and confer in an effort to resolve such dispute. Any decision of the representatives will be final and binding on the parties. In the event the representatives are unable to resolve any dispute within ten (10) days after submission to them, either party may refer the dispute to mediation, or institute any other available legal or equitable proceeding in order to resolve the dispute.

8.17 Waiver and Release: Lessee, on behalf of itself and its heirs, successors and assigns, hereby waives, releases, acquits and forever discharges County, its principals, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and any other person acting on behalf of the County, and the successors and assigns of any of the preceding, of and from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, demands, rights, damages, costs, expenses or compensation whatsoever, direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which Lessee or any of its heirs, successors, or assigns now has or which may arise in the future on account of or in any way related to or in connection with any past, present or future physical characteristic or condition of the Premises, including, without limitation, any Hazardous Material in, at, on, under or related to the Premises, or any violation or potential violation of any Environmental Law applicable thereto; provided, however, this Article 8.17 shall not constitute a waiver or release of any obligation of County under this Article 8. Lessee acknowledges that County would not enter into this Agreement without Lessee’s agreement to the waiver and release provided herein.

8.18 No Waiver of Rights, Causes of Actions or Defenses. Notwithstanding any language in this Agreement, including without limitation Articles 8.03, 8.04, 8.05, 8.06, 8.14, 8.15 and 8.16, Lessee does not agree to waive or release any rights, causes of action or defenses it may have against Miami-Dade County or any other party related to allegations made by the County in (i) Case No. 01-8758 CA 25 which has been filed by the County in the Florida Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, and (ii) a letter dated April 9, 2001, to Lessee and others (who are referred to as “responsible parties” or “RPs”). Nothing herein shall be construed to limit or expand upon any releases previously granted to or exchanged between the parties as a result of judgments or settlements obtained in proceedings between the parties, including, without limitation, settlements in bankruptcy or settlements entered under Case No. 01-8758 CA 25 which has been filed by the County in the Florida Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit.

8.19 Surrender of Premises: Lessee shall surrender the Premises used by Lessee to County upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement free of debris, waste, and Hazardous Materials used, stored, or disposed of by Lessee or its agents, employees, contractors, invitees or Trespassers, or otherwise discharged on the Premises or Other Airport Property for which Lessee is responsible during the term of this Agreement. The Premises shall be surrendered in a condition that complies with all applicable Environmental Requirements, and such other reasonable environmental requirements as may be imposed by County. Lessee shall not be responsible under this section 8.19 to the extent of County’s obligations under this Article 8.

24

8.20 Breach: Any breach by Lessee of any provision of this Article 8 shall, after notice and a reasonable opportunity for Lessee to cure, constitute a default of the Agreement and shall entitle County to exercise any and all remedies provided in the Agreement, or as otherwise permitted by law.

8.21 Survivability of Terms: the terms and conditions of this Article 8, including the indemnity, waiver, and release, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

8.22 Right to Regulate: As provided for in Article 20.12 of this Agreement, nothing within this Article 8 shall be construed to waive or limit, restrain, impair or interfere with the County’s regulatory authority.

ARTICLE 9

Indemnification and Hold Harmless

The Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless the County and its officers, employees, agents and instrumentalities from any and all liability, losses or damages, including attorneys’ fees and costs of defense, which the County or its officers, employees, agents or instrumentalities may incur as a result of claims, demands, suits, causes of actions or proceedings of any kind or nature arising out of, relating to or resulting from the performance of this Agreement or the use of the Premises or the Airport by the Lessee or its employees, agents, servants, partners, principals, invitees, trespassers, contractors, or subcontractors. Lessee shall pay all claims and losses in connection therewith and shall investigate and defend all claims, suits or actions of any kind or nature in the name of the County, where applicable, including appellate proceedings, and shall pay costs, judgments and attorney’s fees which may issue thereon. Lessee expressly understands and agrees that any insurance protection required by this Agreement or otherwise provided by Lessee shall in no way limit the responsibility to indemnify, keep and save harmless and defend the County or its officers, employees, agents and instrumentalities as herein provided. The County shall give to the Lessee reasonable notice of any such claims or actions. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 10

Assignment and Subletting

The Lessee shall not assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber this Agreement, or sublet all or any portion of the Premises, nor allow others to use the Premises without the express prior written consent of the Department.

25

ARTICLE 11

11.01 Insurance Required: In addition to such insurance as may be required by law, the Lessee shall maintain, without lapse or material change, for so long as it occupies the Premises, the following insurance:

(A) Commercial General Liability Insurance on a comprehensive basis, including Contractual Liability, to cover the Lessee’s Premises and operations, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage. The County must be shown as an additional insured with respect to this coverage.

(B) Automobile Liability Insurance covering all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles used by the Lessee in connection with its operations under this Agreement in an amount not less than:

ARTICLE 13

Termination

13.01 Payment Defaults: Failure of the Lessee to make all payments of rentals, fees and charges required to be paid herein when due shall constitute a default, and the County may, at its option terminate this Agreement after seven calendar days notice in writing to the Lessee unless the default be cured within the notice period. Such termination shall not relieve the Lessee of its rental payment obligation for the remaining term of the agreement nor does it constitute a waiver by the Lessor of its rights to recover damages for rental payments for the remaining term of the agreement.

13.02 Insurance Defaults: The County shall have the right, upon seven calendar days written notice to the Lessee, to terminate this Agreement if the Lessee fails to provide evidence of insurance coverage in strict compliance with Article 11 hereof prior to commencement of operations, or fails to provide a renewal of said evidence upon its expiration; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective if the Lessee provides the required evidence of insurance coverage within the notice period.

13.03 Other Defaults: The County shall have the right, upon 30 calendar days written notice to the Lessee, to terminate this Agreement upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following, unless the same shall have been corrected within such period, or, if correction cannot reasonably be completed within such 30-day period, in the sole discretion of the Department, the Lessee has commenced substantial corrective steps within such 30-day period and diligently pursues same to completion:

(A) Failure of the Lessee to comply with any covenants of this Agreement, other than the covenants to pay rentals, fees and charges when due, and the covenants to provide required evidence of insurance coverage.

(B) The conduct of any business, the performance of any service, or the merchandising of any product or service not specifically authorized herein, by the Lessee.

(C) Failure of the Lessee to comply with any Environmental Law or Environmental Requirement as those terms are defined in Article 8.01 of this Agreement.

13.04 Habitual Default: Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Lessee has frequently, regularly or repetitively defaulted in the performance of or breached any of the terms, covenants and conditions required herein to be kept and performed by the Lessee, in the sole opinion of the County and regardless of whether the Lessee has cured each individual condition of breach or default as provided in Articles 13.01 (Payment Defaults), 13.02 (Insurance Defaults) and 13.03 (Other Defaults) hereinabove, the Lessee shall be determined by the Director to be an “habitual violator.” At the time that such determination is made, the Department shall issue to the Lessee a written notice advising of such determination and citing the

28

circumstances therefor. Such notice shall also advise the Lessee that there shall be no further notice or grace periods to correct any subsequent breach(es) or default(s) and that any subsequent breach(es) or default(s), of whatever nature, taken with all previous breaches and defaults, shall be considered cumulative and, collectively, shall constitute a condition of non-curable default and grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement. In the event of any such subsequent breach or default, the County may cancel this Agreement upon the giving of written notice of termination to the Lessee, such termination to be effective upon the tenth day following the date of receipt thereof and all payments due hereunder shall be payable to said date, and the Lessee shall have no further rights hereunder.

13.05 Termination by Abandonment: This Agreement shall be automatically terminated upon the abandonment by the Lessee of the Premises or the voluntary discontinuance of operations at the Airport for any period of time exceeding 15 consecutive calendar days, unless such abandonment or discontinuance has been caused by strike, labor disturbance, acts of God, civil disturbance or governmental order that prevents the Lessee’s use of the Premises for the purposes authorized in Article 2 (Use of Premises) hereof. Such termination shall not relieve the Lessee of its rental payment obligation for the remaining term of the agreement nor does it constitute a waiver by the Lessor of its rights to recover damages for rental payments for the remaining term of the agreement.

13.06 Actions at Termination: The Lessee shall vacate, quit, surrender up and deliver the Premises to the County on or before the termination date of this Agreement, whether by lapse of time or otherwise. The Lessee shall surrender the Premises in the condition required under Article 4.03 (Maintenance and Repairs) herein. All repairs for which the Lessee is responsible shall be completed prior to surrender. The Lessee shall deliver to the Department all keys to the Premises upon surrender. On or before the termination date of this Agreement, except in the instance of termination pursuant to Article 13.05 (Termination by Abandonment), in which event the Lessee shall be allowed up to five calendar days from date of termination, and provided that the Lessee is not in default in the payment of any rentals, fees or charges required to be paid herein, the Lessee shall remove all of its personal property from the Premises. Any personal property of the Lessee not removed in accordance with this Article may be removed by the Department for storage at the cost of the Lessee. Failure on the part of the Lessee to reclaim its personal property within 30 days from the date of termination shall constitute a gratuitous transfer of title thereof to the County for whatever disposition is deemed to be in the best interest of the County.

The Lessee shall, at its expense, take all actions required by Federal, State and local laws, regulations or codes to remove from the Premises any hazardous substance or environmental contaminant, whether stored in drums, or found in vats, containers, distribution pipelines, or the like. All such substances and contaminants shall be removed by the Lessee in a manner approved and authorized by such Federal, State or local laws, regulations or codes.

The Lessee shall comply with the recommendations and conclusions, contingent upon County approval, of such consultant regarding environmental clean-up efforts that may be required, and shall comply with any other clean up requirements imposed on the Lessee by Federal, State or local law, regulations or codes.

13.07 Lien Upon Personal Property: In the event of termination for default or upon termination of this Agreement by its term, the County shall have a lien upon all personal property of the Lessee to secure the payment of any unpaid rentals, fees and charges accruing under the terms of this Agreement.

13.08 Right to Show Premises: At any time after the Lessee has been given notice of termination or default, pursuant to Article 13 (Termination) hereof, the County shall have the right to enter on the Premises for the purpose of showing the Premises to prospective tenants or users.

13.09 County Defaults: This Agreement shall be subject to termination by the Lessee in the event of a default by the County in the performance of any covenant or agreement herein required to be performed by the County and the failure of the County to remedy same within a reasonable period of time following receipt of written notice from the Lessee of such default.

13.10 Other Terminations: This Agreement shall be subject to termination by the County or the Lessee in the event of any one or more of the following:

(A) The permanent abandonment of the Airport.

(B) 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 the Lessee from operating therefrom for a period in excess of 90 consecutive days, provided that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Lessee of any right it may have against the United States to just compensation in the event of any such assumption.

(C) The issuance by any court of competent jurisdiction of any injunction in any way substantially preventing or restraining the use of the Airport, and the remaining in force of such injunction for a period in excess of 90 days.

Persons not executing such consent-to-search form shall not be employed by the Lessee at the Airport, in any job requiring access to the AOA.

It is further agreed that the Department has the right to prohibit an individual, agent or employee of the Lessee from entering the AOA based upon facts which would lead a person of reasonable prudence to believe that such individual might be inclined to engage in theft, cargo tampering, aircraft sabotage or other unlawful activities. Any person denied access to the AOA or whose prior authorization has been revoked or suspended on such grounds shall be entitled to a hearing before the Director of the Department or his authorized designee within a reasonable time. Prior to such hearing, the person denied access to the AOA shall be advised, in writing, of the reasons for such denial.

20.09 Rights of County at Airport: The County shall have the absolute right, without limitation, to make any repairs, alterations and additions to any structures and facilities at the Airport. The County shall, in the exercise of such right, be free from any and all liability to the Lessee for business damages occasioned during the making of such repairs, alterations and additions, except those occasioned by the sole active negligence of the County, its employees, or agents.

20.11 No Waiver: There shall be no waiver of the right of either party to demand strict performance of any of the provisions, terms and covenants of this Agreement nor shall there be any waiver of any breach, default or non-performance hereof by either party, unless such waiver is explicitly made in writing by the other party.

40

the Planning Department, or any department, board or agency of the County to agree to any specific request of the Lessee that is related in any way to the regulatory or quasi-judicial power of the County; and the County shall be released and held harmless by the Lessee from any liability, responsibility, claims, consequential damages or other damages, or losses resulting from the denial or withholding of such requests, provided, however, that this provision shall not preclude any appeal from County action wherein the sole remedy sought is reversible of the County’s action or injunctive relief; nor shall it preclude any action based on the County’s bad faith, capricious behavior or arbitrary action.

20.14 Inspections: The authorized employees and representatives of the County and of any applicable Federal or State agency having jurisdiction hereof shall have the right of access to the Premises at all reasonable times for the purposes of inspection and testing to determine compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. This right of inspection and testing shall impose no duty on the County to inspect and shall impart no liability upon the County should it not make any such inspections.

20.15 Payment of Taxes: The Lessee shall pay all taxes and other costs lawfully assessed against its leasehold interests in the Premises, its improvements and its operations under this Agreement; provided, however, the Lessee shall not be deemed to be in default of its obligations hereunder for failure to pay such taxes pending the outcome of any legal proceedings instituted to determine the validity of such taxes. Failure to pay the taxes upon the adverse ultimate conclusion of such legal proceedings against the Lessee shall constitute a default.

20.16 Quiet Enjoyment of Others: The Lessee shall control the actions of its employees, agents, invitees and those doing business with it, so as to not annoy, disturb or be offensive to others and to provide the service hereunder so as to not unreasonably create a nuisance or thing which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any other users of the Airport.

20.17 Radon Disclosure: In accordance with Section 404.056, Florida Statutes, the following disclosure is hereby made:

Radon Gas: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county public health unit.

41

20.18 Destruction of Premises: In the event the Premises shall be destroyed or so damaged or injured by fire, windstorm, flood or other casualty (and in each such event the Lessee was not at fault in whole or in part) during the life of this Agreement that the Premises or any portion thereof are rendered untenantable, the County shall have the right, but not the obligation, to render said Premises or damaged portion thereof tenantable by repairs completed within a reasonable period of time.

(A) Total Destruction: In the event the County elects not to render the Premises tenantable, if destroyed or damaged in their entirety, the Lessee shall be so notified in writing by the Department, and this Agreement shall be deemed terminated as of the date of the casualty, with the Lessee being liable only for payment of rentals on a pro rata basis as to whatever portion(s) of the Premises which were tenantable and used by the Lessee following the casualty. In such event, the Department shall endeavor to find adequate replacement premises for the Lessee in existing facilities on the Airport.

(B) If the damaged portion of the Premises is not rendered tenantable by the County within a reasonable period of time, and the Lessee shall determine that: 1) the loss of the damaged portion of the Premises shall have a materially adverse impact on the ability of the Lessee to utilize the Premises for the purposes described in Article 2; or 2) would require the Lessee to obtain other space off the Premises in order to substantially conduct the operations of the Lessee originally conducted within the Premises, then, in either such event, upon written notice to the County, the Lessee may cancel this Agreement as of a date which shall be not later than three months from the giving of such notice, if the repairs are not completed within 90 days following such written notice of the intent to cancel, or if the County has not commenced repairs within such notice period for repairs which cannot be reasonably completed within such 90-day period. In the event of cancellation, the rent for the untenantable portion of the Premises shall be paid only to the date of such fire, windstorm, flood, or other casualty. If the Agreement is not canceled following any such casualty, the rent shall be abated as to the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable.

If the casualty was caused in whole or in part by the Lessee, its officers, employees, agents, contractors or trespassers, then the Lessee shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement and shall be responsible under other provisions of this Agreement for payment to the County of all damage to the Premises, plus the loss of rentals attributable to the damaged or destroyed premises.

20.19 Quiet Enjoyment: Subject to the terms of this Agreement, specifically including, but not limited to, environmental remediation steps to be taken under Article 8, the County’s right and obligation to make certain repairs, alterations, and additions under Articles 5 (Maintenance by County) and 20.09 (Rights of County at Airport),

42

which, for purposes of this clause, includes any and all demolition, in whole or in part, of buildings and runways, and roadway systems on or off the Airport, and the reservation of easement rights to the airspace under Article 16.10 (Right of Flight), all of which provisions and others in this Agreement, the Lessee acknowledges may cause disruption and disturbance to the Lessee, and upon the observance by the Lessee of all the terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions imposed upon the Lessee hereunder, the Lessee shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises for the term of this Agreement; provided, however, that the County shall not be liable for any violation of this clause or for any disturbance or disruption in or to the Lessee’s business, for acts or omissions of tenants, users of the Airport, third parties or when any department or agency of the County is acting in its governmental capacity or by Acts of God.

20.20 Interpretation of Agreement: This Agreement is the result of negotiation between the parties hereto and has been typed/printed by one party for the convenience of both parties, and the parties covenant that this Agreement shall not be construed in favor of or against any of the parties hereto.

20.21 Entirety of Agreement: The parties hereto agree that this Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties, and there are no promises or understandings other than those stated herein. None of the provisions, terms and conditions contained in this Agreement may be added to, modified, superseded or otherwise altered, except as may be specifically authorized herein or by written instrument executed by the parties hereto.
