(c)In the event: (a) Tenant fails use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce Subtenants’ obligations to continuously provide concession operations pursuant to the Sublease, or (b) the interim agreements described in this paragraph last for a period in excess of one (1) year without the consent of the Commissioner, the parties have agreed that if any portion of the Concession Premises is not being thereafter operated during the term of this Lease in accordance with this Lease, then, Tenant shall pay the City, as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, the amount of $300.00 per day. Such liquidated damage payment shall continue from the date concession operations cease until the earlier of (i) the date concession operations resume, or (ii) the date of termination of this Lease. Said liquidated damages shall be paid monthly in arrears and shall be deemed Additional Rent.

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in the case of the cessation of concession operations by any Subtenant for any reason during the final three (3) years of the Term, Tenant’s failure to procure a suitable permanent Subtenant in accordance with this Section shall not constitute a breach of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease provided Tenant shall have made, and shall continue to make, a commercially reasonable and diligent effort to procure a suitable Subtenant in accordance with this Lease and shall continue to cause concession operations to be conducted in the Concession Premises in question.

TERM

[**]

terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. The Term shall not be extended beyond the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease due to the inclusion of any Additional Concession Premises which may be added from time to time during the Term. Once the Latest Date of Beneficial Occupancy is determined, the City and Tenant shall enter into a letter agreement confirming the Latest Date of Beneficial Occupancy and the expiration date of this Lease.

(b)Option to Extend. Upon mutual agreement of the Commissioner and Tenant, this Lease may be extended for one (1) additional period of five (5) years (“Extended Term”), on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease. Should either Party not be in agreement to so extend the Term, such Party must give notice of its intent no later than twenty-four (24) months prior to the Expiration Date. If this Lease is not so extended and the City has not executed a new management agreement with a new manager before the Expiration Date, Tenant and the City shall negotiate in good faith to have Tenant continue to provide concession management services on a mutually agreeable fee basis until such new manager is in place.

(c)Automatic Extensions. Tenant shall automatically be entitled to the Extended Term as determined in Tenant’s sole discretion upon the occurrence of any of the following events. In such event, Tenant shall provide written notice of exercise of the Extended Term to the Commissioner within a reasonable period of time following the occurrence of any of the such events:

​

30

​

All of the terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during the Extended Term and unless the context otherwise specifically requires, all references in this Lease to “Term” shall also include the Extended Term.

(b)(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, following the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Latest Date of Beneficial Occupancy, the Commissioner shall have a one-time option, to terminate this Lease without cause for any reason, in the Commissioner’s sole discretion, upon one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice to Tenant (“City’s Termination Notice”). For the Commissioner to exercise this one-time option to terminate this Lease, the Commissioner must give the City’s Termination Notice to Tenant no later than ninety (90) days following the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the Latest Date of Beneficial Occupancy. Upon such notice, Tenant shall fulfill its surrender obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Lease. If the City elects to terminate this Lease without cause as provided herein, this Lease shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the City’s Termination Notice (“Effective Termination Date”). Upon the Effective Termination Date, Tenant shall assign to the City, and the City shall assume from Tenant, all of the Subleases then in effect with respect to the concession program in the Terminal. If the City shall not elect to exercise or fail to timely exercise its option to terminate this Lease as provided in this Section 4.2(b) above, then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and the City shall not have any further right of termination pursuant to this Section 4.2.

​

31

​

In the event of any such early termination by the City under this Section 4.2(b), the City shall pay to Tenant, a Lease Termination Payment (which shall be defined herein to include Tenant’s Unamortized Investment and Demobilization Fee as such terms are defined below) as follows: (i) a sum equal to the unamortized balance of the Tenant Certified Construction Costs in the amount previously approved by the City in accordance with Section 8.5, depreciated using the straight-line method over the Term, commencing on either the Latest Date of Beneficial Occupancy in the case of Tenant’s initial Base Building Improvements which are completed on or before the Latest Date of Beneficial Occupancy or commencing on the date first placed into service in the case of any refurbishments made to Tenant’s Base Building Improvements subsequent to the Latest Date of Beneficial Occupancy (collectively, “Tenant’s Unamortized Investment”); and (ii) a sum equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the rents payable by Subtenants to Tenant under the Subleases during the tenth (10^th) year following the Latest Date of Beneficial Occupancy less amount of Premises Rent required to be paid by Tenant to the City as Rent hereunder for such tenth (10^th) following the Latest Date of Beneficial Occupancy (“Demobilization Fee”). The City shall remit the Lease Termination Payment to Tenant on or before the Effective Termination Date. Following the receipt of the Early Termination Payment by the City to Tenant and the assignment and assumption of the Subleases as contemplated by this Section 4.5, the City and Tenant shall thereafter be released from any and all obligations under this Lease except for any the Parties’ respective obligations which shall have accrued or which shall be arising out of events occurring prior to the Effective Termination Date or which are expressly stated to survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

(a)Without Commissioner Objection. Except as provided in (b), any holding over following expiration or termination shall constitute a tenancy from month-to-month on the same terms and conditions as this Lease, including payment of the Rent attributable to the portion of the Premises Tenant and its Subtenants continue to occupy. Tenant and its Subtenants must surrender and vacate any portion of the Premises no later than thirty (30) days following written notice from the Commissioner that the month-to-month tenancy is being terminated.

(b)Despite Commissioner Objection. If the Commissioner notifies Tenant in writing that holding over is not allowed, or if the Commissioner notifies Tenant that any holdover month-to-month tenancy is being terminated as to any portion of the Premises, and Tenant continues to hold over after receipt of such written notice, Tenant must thereafter pay Rent at one hundred fifty percent (150%) the annual rate of the Rent payable, on a per diem basis, during that portion of the last calendar year falling within the Term of this Lease.

(c)No occupancy of the Premises by Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (in its entirety or as to the portion of the Premises in question) extends the Term of this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises, except as a holdover tenancy. Tenant and its Subtenants shall be required to vacate and surrender any portion of the Premises during the holdover tenancy in accordance with notices from the Commissioner from time to time to accommodate any of the City’s replacement tenant’s construction and commencement of operations. In the event of any unauthorized and willful occupancy after such expiration or termination, Tenant must indemnify the City against all damages arising out of the retention of occupancy, and all insurance policies and letters of credit required to be obtained and maintained by Tenant as set forth in this Lease must continue in effect.

​

32

​

(a)At the termination or expiration of this Lease as to any portion of the Premises, Tenant and its Subtenants shall promptly, peaceably, quietly and in good order quit, deliver up and return the Premises (or that portion as to which the Lease has terminated, in the case of a partial termination) in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted. Except as provided below, Tenant and its Subtenants must remove all of Tenant’s personal property from the Premises or the affected portions of the Premises within three (3) days following the date of termination or expiration of this Lease. All Improvements installed by or for Tenant and each of its Subtenants shall remain in the Premises and shall in no event shall be required to be removed by Tenant or its Subtenants. Tenant shall or shall cause its Subtenants to repair any damage to the Concession Premises caused by Tenant’s or its Subtenant’s removal of personal property, trade fixtures and other items which Tenant or its Subtenants are permitted to remove. All the removal and repair required of Tenant under this Section are at Tenant’s sole or its Subtenant’s cost and expense.

(b)If Tenant or its Subtenants fail to perform any of their obligations, then the Commissioner may cause the obligations to be performed and Tenant shall pay the cost of the performance, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from and after the date the costs were incurred until receipt of full payment therefor. Tenant shall be permitted to pass through any such costs and expenses to applicable Subtenants as the case may be. Any property of Tenant not or its Subtenants removed by Tenant or its Subtenant’s in accordance herewith is deemed abandoned and the Commissioner may dispose of it as she sees fit, without any liability to Tenant or any other person.

(c)Any Improvements remaining in the Premises shall become property of the City, except that all of Tenant’s or its Subtenant’s trade dress, service marks, trademarks and trade names must be removed, obliterated or painted out in a commercially reasonable manner at Tenant’s or its Subtenant’s cost, within three (3) days following the expiration or termination of the Term.

ARTICLE 5

RENT, REPORTS AND AUDITS

5.1Rent

(a)Rent. In consideration of Tenant’s use of the Premises and the right to develop sublease, market and manage the Concession Program in the Terminal and the associated rights and privileges granted in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to City as Rent for each Lease Year the following:

[**]

​

​

34

​

[**]

(d)Additional Rent. The following items shall be considered as Additional Rent hereunder:

(i)Distribution Fee. During the Term of this Lease, the City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to establish a central receiving and distribution facility for Subtenant concession operations at the Airport. In the event such central facility is established, Tenant shall require Subtenants to pay their proportionate share of the costs of developing, operating and maintaining such facility and the costs of transporting such deliveries from the facility to one or more designated locations within the Terminal (the “Distribution Fee”). To the extent there is a shortfall in the amount collected by Tenant from the Subtenants to cover such proportionate share following any annual reconciliations of the amount of the Distribution Fee, such shortfall shall be Tenant’s sole responsibility to pay to the City.

(ii)Impositions. Tenant must timely pay, as and when due, any and all taxes, assessments, fees, and charges levied, assessed or imposed by a governmental unit upon this Lease, the Premises, Tenant’s leasehold or upon Tenant’s personal property, including but not limited to all permit fees and charges of a similar nature for Tenant’s conduct of any business or undertaking in the Premises (collectively, “Impositions”). Tenant must provide Commissioner a copy of all notices relating to leasehold taxes on the Premises within thirty (30) days after receipt and must provide the Commissioner with a receipt indicating payment of leasehold taxes on the Premises when due. Nothing in this Lease precludes Tenant from contesting the amount of an Imposition, including those taxes or charges enacted or promulgated by City; but Tenant must not contest the applicability of an Imposition in connection with the Premises. Failure of Tenant to pay any Imposition when due, except to the extent that Tenant is contesting the amount of the Imposition, will constitute an Event of Default. Tenant shall include this provision in all Subleases.

(iii)Any other amounts expressly identified as Additional Rent in this Lease.

​

35

​

Tenant shall be entitled to charge a proportionate share of Additional Rent to its Subtenants in an equitable and non-discriminatory manner.

(a)Commencing on the Earliest Date of Beneficial Occupancy, Tenant shall pay to the City on or before twentieth (20^th) day following the expiration the preceding calendar month commencing with the second (2^nd ) month following the Earliest Date of Beneficial Occupancy:

Tenant shall also pay Impositions if and when due following the Earliest Date of Beneficial Occupancy to the appropriate governmental agencies and shall continue to pay Impositions throughout the Term of this Lease.

(b)Commencing on the MAG Effective Date, Tenant shall pay to the City:

[**]

​

36

​

Occupancy, this Letter of Credit shall be amended to reflect an amount equal to three (3) months of the first Lease Year’s Minimum Annual Guarantee. The Letter of Credit and any replacements or renewals of it must be issues with an expiry date of at least one (1) year after the respective dates of issuance or renewal and must be maintained by Tenant, through and including the date that is ninety (90) days after the expiration of the Term. The Letter of Credit must be in the form set forth in Exhibit G or as otherwise approved by the City’s Corporation Counsel.

​

37

​

(b)Qualified Issuers. The Letter of Credit called for in this Lease must be issued by companies or financial institutions having a rating of “A” or better as determined by standard and Poor’s or by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or a net worth of at least [**] unless otherwise approved in writing by the Commissioner. If any draw requires personal appearance by a City representative, such shall occur at a location in Chicago or, if the issuer does not have an office in Chicago, the City shall be entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit for any travel expenses incurred by the City.

(c)Right to Require Replacement of Letter of Credit. If the financial condition of the institution issuing the Letter of Credit materially and adversely changes, the Commissioner may, at any time, require that the Letter of Credit be replaced with a Letter of Credit from another institution and in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Section.

(d)No Excuse from Performance. None of the provisions contained in this Lease nor in the Letter of Credit required under this Lease excuse Tenant from faithfully performing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease or limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease for any and all damages in excess of the amounts of the Letter of Credit.

(e)Non-Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the failure of the Commissioner to draw upon the Letter of Credit required under this Lease or to require Tenant to replace the Letter of Credit at any time or times when the Commissioner has the right to do so under this Lease does not waive or modify the Commissioner’s rights to draw upon the Letter of Credit and to require Tenant to maintain or, as the case may be, replace the Letter of Credit, all as provided in this Article 5.

​

38

​

(a)Monthly. Tenant must furnish to the Commissioner on or before the twentieth (20^th) day of each calendar month falling wholly or in part within the Term of this Lease a complete statement, certified by a authorized representative of Tenant, showing in all reasonable detail, the amount of Gross Receipts derived from each Subtenant’s Concession Premises and by category of concession during the preceding month and the Minimum Annual Guarantee, Percentage Rent and Additional Concession Percentage Rent due from Tenant for the preceding calendar month (the “Monthly Certified Statement”).

(b)Annually.

(i)Tenant also must furnish to Commissioner no later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Lease Year and within one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration or termination of this Lease, a complete statement of the amount of Premises Rent payable by Tenant for such Lease Year certified by an independent certified public accountant engaged by Tenant, showing in all reasonable detail the amount of the Minimum Annual Guarantee, Percentage Rent and Additional Concession Percentage Rent due from Tenant for the preceding Lease Year (the “Annual Certified Statement”). The Commissioner may, from time to time, reasonably require upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant, copies of all Subtenant returns and other information filed with respect to Illinois sales and use taxes as well as such copies of the respective annual certified statements received from Subtenants, and other reasonable financial and statistical reports as requested.

(ii)Tenant’s Annual Certified Statement must include a breakdown of Subtenant Gross Receipts generated by the Concession Program for each Subtenant by location. Tenant’s Annual Certified Statement shall include a standard non-qualified opinion of an independent certified public accountant as to the accuracy of the Annual Certified Statement.

(iii)Tenant shall require each Subtenant’s annual certified statement to be opined by an independent certified public accountant which shall include the following language, or language of similar purport:

“We, a firm of independent certified public accountants, have examined the accompanying financial statement of [Subtenant] for the year ended                            relating to its operations at the Terminal pursuant to a Sublease dated                                          , 20    . Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and, accordingly and, includes such tests of the accounting records and such other procedures as we

​

39

​

considered necessary in the circumstances.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statement presents accurately the amount of [Subtenant] Gross Receipts and the total Rentals due as defined in the Sublease for the year ended                             .”

(c)All such reports and statements described in this Article 5 shall be prepared on a form approved by the Commissioner, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If Tenant fails to timely furnish to the Commissioner any Monthly Certified Statement or Annual Certified Statement required under this Lease or if the independent certified public accountant’s opinion is qualified or conditioned in any material manner, the Commissioner has the right (but is not obligated) without notice, to conduct an audit of Tenant’s and, as needed, Subtenants’ books and records and to prepare the statements at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant must also provide the Commissioner with such other reasonable financial or statistical reports and information concerning the Concession Program or any part thereof, in the form as may be reasonably required from time to time by the Commissioner.

(a)Except as provided below, Tenant shall cause its Subtenants to prepare and maintain at their respective principal business offices located in the United States and to make the same available for inspection in Chicago full, complete and proper books, records and accounts in accordance with generally accepted accounting procedures relating to and setting forth the Gross Receipts, both for cash and on credit, and must require and cause its operations personnel to prepare and keep books, source documents, records and accounts sufficient to substantiate those kept by the Subtenants. The books and source documents to be kept by the Subtenants shall include true copies of all federal, state and local tax returns and reports, daily receipts from all sales and other pertinent original sales records and records of any other transactions conducted in or from the Concession Premises by anyone conducting business in or from the Concession Premises. Pertinent original sales records for Subtenants are to include: (i) cash register tapes, including tapes from temporary registers; (ii) sequentially numbered transactions; (iii) original records indicating that merchandise returned by customers was purchased at each Subtenant Premises by the customers; (v) detailed original records of any exclusions or deductions from Gross Receipts; (vi) sales tax records; and (viii) such other sales records, if any, that would normally be examined by an independent accountant under accepted auditing standards in performing an audit of the Gross Receipts. Tenant or its Subtenants (as the case may be) must maintain any such books, records, and source documents in a secure location for a period of five (5) years following the expiration of each Lease Year during this Lease and for the same period following the final Lease Year.

​

​

40

​

(b)Tenant shall cause each of its Subtenants to record at the time of each sale or other transaction, in the presence of the customer, all receipts from the sale or other transaction, whether for cash, credit or otherwise, in a POS System having a cumulative total that must be sealed in a manner approved by the Commissioner and that must possess such other features as reasonably required by the Commissioner. The books, records and accounts, including any sales tax reports that Tenant and its Subtenants may be required to furnish to any government or governmental agency, must at all reasonable times be open to the inspection (including the making of copies or extracts) of the Commissioner, the Commissioner’s auditor or other authorized representative or agent at Tenant’s or the applicable Subtenant’s principal business office located in the United States (with copies thereof to be made available for inspection within the City of Chicago, if so requested by the Commissioner) for a period of at least three (3) years after the expiration of each calendar year falling wholly or in part within the Term. All of the costs and expenses incurred in any such examination or inspection by the City shall be at the City’s sole cost and expense except as otherwise provided in this Lease. Tenant shall conduct audits of the books and records of its Subtenants from time to time as Tenant deems necessary or desirable and shall conduct such an audit of each Subtenant at least once every three (3) Lease Years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to audit the books and records of any Subtenant more often than once per Lease Year and not more often than two (2) times over a period of three (3) Lease Years.

(c)The acceptance by the Commissioner of payments of any Premises Rent is without prejudice to the Commissioner’s right to conduct an examination of the Tenant’s books and records related to Rent and/or its Subtenant’s books and records relating to Gross Receipts at the Concession Premises, in order to verify the amount of Rent due hereunder and to verify the amount of Gross Receipts made in and from the Concession Premises.

(d)After providing Tenant at least three (3) days prior written notice, the Commissioner may inspect the books and records of any Subtenant but shall provide five (5) days prior written notice in the case of inspection of Tenant’s books and records. Further, at its option, the Commissioner may at any reasonable time, upon no less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Tenant cause a complete audit to be made of Tenant’s entire records relating to the Concession Premises for the period covered by any statement issued by Tenant as above set forth. If the audit discloses that Tenant’s statement of Rent is understated to the extent of:

​

​

41

​

In addition to the foregoing, and in addition to all other remedies available to the City, if Tenant or the City’s auditor schedules a date for an audit of Tenant’s records and Tenant fails to be available or otherwise fails to comply with the reasonable requirements for the audit, Tenant must pay all reasonable costs and expenses associated with the scheduled audit.

ARTICLE 6

TRANSFERS OTHER THAN SUBLEASES

The City expressly reserves the right to sell, assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its interest under this Lease, at any time and to any third party. Upon the effective date of such a sale, assignment or transfer, the City is forever relieved, from and after such date of any and all obligations arising under or out of this Lease, to the extent such obligations are assumed by the buyer, assignee or transferee.

(a)Transfers. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease, neither this Lease nor any interest of Tenant in this Lease or the leasehold created hereby shall be directly or indirectly sublet, sold, assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered (each considered a “Transfer”) without the express written consent of the City. A change in ownership or control of Tenant, either directly or indirectly, shall be deemed a Transfer.

​

42

​

(b)City Consent. Whenever City consent is required, a Transfer of all of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the leasehold created hereby shall require consent of the City Council of the City of Chicago, which may be withheld in the sole discretion of the City Council, and a Transfer of less than all of Tenant’s interest shall require consent of the Commissioner. In determining whether or not to consent to a Transfer, City will take into account, without limitation, the promotion of a competitive environment at the Airport in light of the then-existing circumstances, the proposed use of the Premises by any transferee, the balanced utilization of the Airport facilities, operational considerations relating to the characteristics of the proposed transferee, the financial condition of the proposed transferee and the impact on City”s ability to exercise control over the Airport. Consent by City to any type of Transfer shall not in any way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining further authorization from City for any subsequent Transfer of any nature whatsoever.

(c)Transfers not requiring City Consent..

(i)Transfers to Affiliates. Tenant may effect a Transfer to an Affiliate of Tenant without City consent with sixty (60) days’ prior notice to the City, provided that: (i) the proposed transferee Affiliate is in compliance with all of the legal requirements of this Lease, (ii) the proposed transferee Affiliate is sufficiently financially responsible, experienced and capable to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, (iii) the proposed transferee Affiliate assumes all of Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement, (iv) in the Commissioner’s reasonable opinion, the Transfer will not have a material adverse effect upon the Airport or operation of the Terminal, (v) no Event of Default then exists and (vi) the transferee Affiliate executes the City’s EDS form and certifies therein compliance with all laws and ordinances referenced.

(ii)Transfers Due to Trading on a National or International Exchange. Transfers that are changes in ownership of Tenant due to trading in or issuance of a parent company’s stock or other forms of ownership interests on a national or international exchange shall not be subject to City consent; however, Tenant shall promptly notify the City of any such change in ownership which would require disclosure of a new owner or disclosure of other changes in percentage ownership on the then-current version of the City’s EDS form, and Tenant shall submit revised EDS form(s) accordingly. As used in this provision, “national or international exchange” means the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, or their foreign equivalent.

(d)Tenant to Remain Primarily Liable. Notwithstanding any Transfer, with or without City consent, Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of all of its fees and fully responsible for the performance of all of its other obligations hereunder, except where the City Council consents to the Transfer and expressly relieves Tenant of such liability and responsibility.

(e)Requests for City Consent. Any and all requests by Tenant for City consent to a Transfer shall be made in writing to City. Upon request by City, Tenant shall provide copies of the proposed documents of Transfer. Requests for City consent to a Transfer shall completely disclose any and all monetary and non-monetary considerations made or to be made to Tenant for said Transfer and shall include completed EDSs from the proposed transferee. Any or all of the requests by Tenant for consents under this Section must be made in writing and provided to the Commissioner (a) at least 60 days prior to the proposed Transfer if the Commissioner’s consent is required; and (b) at least 120 days prior to a proposed Transfer if the City Council’s consent is required, unless the City determines that more time is required.

​

​

43

​

(f)City’s Right to Collect from Transferee. If any Transfer shall occur, with or without City consent, City may collect fees and other sums to be paid under the Lease from any assignee, sublessee or other transferee of Tenant, and in such event shall apply the net amount collected to the fees and other sums payable by Tenant hereunder without such action by City releasing Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder. If any Transfer requiring City consent shall occur without City consent, and if City collects fees and other sums from the transferee and applies the net amount collected in the manner described in the preceding sentence, such actions by City shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the consent requirement or constitute acceptance of such transferee.

(g)Transfers Without City Consent Void. Any Transfer requiring City consent made without such City consent shall be void and of no effect. Further, any such Transfer shall constitute an Event of Default subject to all remedies, including termination of this Lease at the City’s option, and does not relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease for the balance of the Term. This Section applies to prohibit a Transfer, such as an assignment by a receiver or trustee in any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceedings or by operation of law. Under no circumstances will any failure by the Commissioner to act on or submit any request by Tenant or any Subtenant to City Council or to take any other action as provided in this Lease be deemed or construed to constitute consent to the Tenant’s or any Subtenant’s request by the Commissioner or by the City Council.

(h)Excess Rent. In the event of a permitted Transfer of all or any portion of the Premises or Transfer of all or any portion of the Term, where the fees or rent payable to Tenant exceed the Rent or pro rata portion of the Rent payable by Tenant to City under this Lease, as the case may be, for the Premises or Term, Tenant must pay the City monthly, as Additional Rent, at the same time as the monthly installments of other Rent under this Lease that are payable in monthly installments, the excess of the fees or rent payable to Tenant pursuant to the Transfer over the Rent payable to the City under this Lease.

(i)City Expenses. All reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by the City in connection with processing its consent to a proposed Transfer shall be payable to the City as Additional Rent.

(j)Subleases. Although Subleases are not considered Transfers for purposes of this Article, similar restrictive provisions on Transfers will be included in every Sublease so that Subtenants may not Transfer their Subleases or their interests in them without Tenant and City consent.

Accordingly, “Service Hours” shall include the hours the Concession Program shall be open as directed by the City from time to time, including without limitation, the hours necessary to provide service for the earliest daily incoming and outgoing flights (including the provision of service to passengers who arrive in advance of same) and the latest daily incoming and outgoing flights, including non-scheduled activity by charter airlines. To that end, Tenant shall cause its Subtenants to open and operate the Concession Program, during hours directed by the City; provided that, if passenger traffic conditions, flight scheduling, flight delays or other considerations make it necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the City, the Concession Program shall be open at times not then scheduled. The City reserves the right to direct Tenant to change or adjust the Service Hours, and Tenant agrees and covenants to cause the Subtenants to open and adequately staff the Concession Program during the hours directed by the City. The City shall give Tenant at least thirty (30) days notice of any permanent adjustment in Service Hours. In addition, in an emergency, as determined by the City, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Subtenants operating essential concessions (such as newsstands and food & beverage concessions) to open or keep open the Concession Program or portions thereof upon two (2) hours prior verbal notice. The Service Hours and the need for flexibility as described herein shall be included in all Subleases.

​

(c)Customer Service. Tenant’s and Subtenant’s employees shall provide a high level of customer service consistent with a first class concession program. Tenant’s and its Subtenant employees shall be courteous, neat in appearance, appropriately attired and shall use skill and diligence in the conduct of business. Tenant’s and Subtenant’s employees shall have sufficient knowledge of the Terminal and of the Airport to promptly and courteously direct and assist passengers in and around the Terminal and the Airport, including, without limitation, to airlines, Gates, customer information booths or customer information personnel, baggage carts, ATMs, other concession locations, telephones, rest rooms, escalators and elevators, exits and access to other terminals and ground transportation. No employee of Tenant or its Subtenants shall act in a loud, offensive or otherwise objectionable manner or in a manner detrimental to the best interests of the City. Each Concession Premises shall accept all major credit cards and shall provide change-making services without charge upon request. Tenant shall provide initial and on-going customer service training to its and its Subtenants employees in order to ensure compliance with the specific Service and Performance Operating Standards and to provide a high level of customer service, consistent with a first class food and beverage operation in general. All costs and expenses associated therewith shall be paid from the Marketing Fund.

(d)Concession Premises Facilities and Equipment. Tenant shall cause its Subtenants to operate the Concession Premises in a well-organized, safe, professional, clean and attractive manner and condition. All Operating Equipment shall be maintained in good condition and repair.

(e)Customer Complaints. In the event that Tenant or any of its Subtenants receive any written complaint concerning the Concession Program or any concession operations therein, Tenant shall within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of such complaint by Tenant forward a copy of the complaint to the Commissioner and Tenant shall or shall cause its Subtenants to respond to such complaint in writing within three (3) days after receipt thereof and shall make a good faith effort to explain, resolve or rectify the cause of such complaint. Tenant shall submit a copy of its response to complaint to the Commissioner upon issuance of said response if from Tenant or upon receipt of said response if from a Subtenant. If the City receives a written complaint regarding the Concession Program or any concession operations therein, the City shall forward a copy of the same to Tenant and Tenant shall respond as set forth herein.

​

​

​

(f)Resident General Manager/Emergency Contact. In order to assure compliance with the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, Tenant shall retain a qualified competent manager suitably experienced and acceptable to the City to provide on-site management of the Concession Program on a full-time basis to manage all of Tenant’s obligations and responsibilities under this Lease (the “Resident General Manager”). Tenant shall notify the City of the identity of its Resident General Manager and of any changes in such identity. Tenant shall assure that the Resident General Manager or his or her designee, acceptable to the City, is available, by telephone and such other communication device as the City may require, on a 24 hour per day, seven (7) days per week basis to respond to the City on day to day issues and in the event of emergencies. Tenant shall notify the City of the name and telephone number of such representative and shall update such information as necessary. If any Resident General Manager, in the City’s reasonable judgment, does not perform up to standards consistent with the fulfillment of Tenant’s obligation and responsibilities under this Lease, Tenant, in good faith, shall promptly take steps to remedy any such failure in performance.

(g)Continuous Operation. As provided in Article 3, Tenant hereby covenants that it shall continuously sublease, market, and manage any available Concession Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease and shall from and after the Latest Date of Beneficial Occupancy cause its Subtenants to continuously and uninterruptedly occupy and use the Concession Premises for the Concession Program and shall keep the Concession Program open for business during the Service Hours, except as may otherwise be permitted under this Lease or to the extent Tenant or any of its Subtenants may be prevented therefrom by Force Majeure, or occasioned by the City’s negligence or willful misconduct. Tenant acknowledges that the Concession Program are essential services at the Terminal and Tenant’s failure to cause its Subtenants to provide continuous operation of the Concession Program or any portion thereof will result in damages to the City that are difficult to quantify in light of airport operational and customer service factors. Therefore, in addition to any other remedies set forth herein, the City may assess, and if so assessed, Tenant shall pay to the City as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the amount of Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00) each day the Concession Program is not continuously operated.

Performance Standards and Audits. Tenant acknowledges the desire of the City to provide first class, customer service oriented concessions to the traveling public and other customers of the Terminal, consistent with the provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Subtenants to maintain the Concession Premises in a clean, neat, sanitary and safe condition in accordance with the service and operating standards which have been reviewed and approved by the City and attached hereto as Exhibit M (“Service and Performance Operating Standards”) and in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall work with its Subtenants to achieve and maintain compliance with such requirements, including but not limited to, conducting daily walk through inspections and periodic meetings with Subtenants on an as needed basis.

​

​

49

​

In addition, Tenant shall conduct formal performance audits of a selection of the Concession Premises on a quarterly basis and more frequently as needed, without notice to any Subtenant, to ensure that all requirements of this Lease and the Subleases are met. Such audits shall be conducted by Tenant or by consultants hired by Tenant, at no expense to the City, but payments for any third party consultants shall be permitted from the Marketing Fund contributions from the Subtenants. The City reserves the right to participate in such audits, at its discretion and at its own expense, to conduct its own audits in accordance with the provisions hereof; without notice to any Subtenant and to request that Tenant conduct an audit at a time not then scheduled. The City may enter any Concession Premises for the purposes described hereunder, at any time, without notice to Tenant or any Subtenant.

Tenant shall notify each Subtenant of any deficiencies and of any failure to meet a Minimum Performance Standard (as defined in the Service and Operating Performance Standards) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Subtenant to correct the deficiency and Tenant shall assess and collect the appropriate liquidated damages. Tenant may, in its reasonable business judgment and in light of the circumstances then present in the Terminal, use such judgment and circumstances in determining whether liquidated damages shall be assessed and collected whenever a Minimum Performance Standard is not met. Such deficiencies and the amount of the liquidated damages imposed shall be reported to the City. If the deficiency is not corrected within the applicable grace period, Tenant may impose and collect the appropriate additional liquidated damages or Tenant may pursue other remedies provided in the Sublease or available at law or in equity. If assessed, liquidated damages imposed for failure to correct a deficiency within the applicable grace period or for failing to meet a Minimum Performance Standard shall accrue on a daily basis until the deficiency is corrected and shall be reported by Tenant to the City. All liquidated damages collected under this Section shall be retained by Tenant to cover its overhead administrative expenses.

If the City determines that a Subtenant has failed to properly correct any deficiency after receiving notice from Tenant, the City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to so notify the Tenant in writing as to the steps to be taken by Tenant and Subtenant and Tenant shall thereafter pursue any and all other appropriate remedies available pursuant to the Sublease, and at law or in equity.

The City expressly reserves the right to establish its own concession monitoring program and Tenant agrees to comply with and to cause its Subtenants to comply with the provisions of the City’s concession monitoring program following sixty (60) days prior written notice to Tenant by the City.

​

​

​

(a)If a Subtenant conducts business in non-Airport locations, the Street Price is the price charged for the same merchandise or service at the nearest non-Airport location (provided, however, if a Subtenant operates in downtown Chicago, then any such location shall be used for comparison and such pricing shall prevail over other Subtenant prices), excluding short-term promotional and other sale prices.

(b)If a Subtenant does not operate in non-Airport locations, the Street Price for all and the same merchandise and services (except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section with respect to food and beverages sold for immediate consumption by restaurant, snack bar or other food and beverage concessions), is the average price charged for such goods and services by three (3) comparable businesses in the metropolitan Chicago area where comparable merchandise or services are sold. Notwithstanding subsection (c) of this Section, this subsection (b) is intended to govern the Street Price of packaged food including, without limitation, candy, gum, pre-packaged snack items and other food and beverages sold for consumption off Premises.

(c)If a Subtenant does not operate in non-Airport locations, the Street Price for all food and beverage merchandise (including alcoholic beverages) sold for immediate consumption by any restaurant, snack bar, or other food and beverage concession shall be based on menu prices or price lists of three (3) comparable businesses or restaurants operating in the Chicago metropolitan area (as mutually and reasonably agreed to by Tenant and the City, taking into account variations in quality, service, portion size and ambiance at such comparable establishments).

(d)If the product or service offered is neither sold by the Subtenant in non-Airport locations nor readily available from comparable businesses in the Chicago metropolitan area, and does not fall within any other category described in this Section, the Street Price shall be based on reasonable comparisons mutually agreed to by the Parties.

(e)If the Subtenant sells duty free merchandise, then the Street Price of such duty free merchandise shall be based on reasonable comparisons with other duty free airport concessions operating in large urban airports located in major cities (top twenty in total population) in the United States.

​

51

​

From time to time but not less than once per year, Tenant shall conduct a sampling survey of Subtenants’ prices to determine a Subtenant’s compliance with this Section and the costs of such surveys shall be paid from the Marketing Fund.

​

​

52

​

(a)Upon the request of the Commissioner, Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available monthly sales data by causing its Subtenants to provide sales and activity data reporting, and statistical analysis on a calendar month basis and by providing electronic cash control systems for each Concession Premises (“Point of Sale Data”), reflecting the amount of each sales transaction, items sold per transaction, time and date of the transaction, and specifying the sales category applicable to each item sold.

(b)At such time, if any, as computerized Point of Sale Data systems (“POS Systems”) have been developed to a point where there is an industry standard and the City installs infrastructure compatible with such industry standard, then Tenant shall upon request use commercially reasonable efforts to require each of its Subtenants, and at the Subtenants’ own expense, to install such a POS system in the Subtenant Premises or, if it already uses such a system, must use reasonable efforts to promptly cause the system to conform to the City’s POS Systems and permit the City to connect the City’s POS System to each Subtenant’s POS System using fiber optic cable or otherwise.

ARTICLE 8

CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

(a)General. All Tenant Base Building Improvements and Subtenant Fixed Improvements shall: (i) be constructed in accordance with Plans and Specifications approved in writing by the City; (ii) be constructed by Contractors pursuant to written construction contracts entered into between Tenant or Subtenants and the Contractor named therein; (iii) be constructed and installed in a good and workmanlike manner using only new (or recycled sustainable) materials; (iv) be constructed in compliance with all applicable statutes, ordinances, building codes, codes and rules, regulations, and directives of any local, state or federal entity having jurisdiction and all generally applicable procedures and requirements of the City including the City’s TDCPM; (v) be constructed at Tenant’s or Subtenant’s sole expense and at such times and in such manner as the City may from time to time reasonably designate without unreasonable interference with or disruption of the operations of tenants or other occupants of the Terminal and the Airport; and (vi) become part of the Premises unless the City elects otherwise in accordance with the TDCPM.

(b)Plans and Specifications. Subject to Force Majeure as defined in this Lease or to events beyond Tenant’s or any of its Subtenants’ reasonable control, Tenant shall use diligent efforts to submit in a timely manner and cause its Subtenants to submit in a timely manner complete Plans and Specifications to the City for Tenant’s Base Building Improvements and the Subtenant Fixed Improvements, including all storefronts and other designs in accordance with the requirements of the City approval process in a manner to allow for completion of construction of Tenant’s Base Building Improvements and the Subtenant Fixed Improvements in accordance with the proposed Completion Dates set forth in the Redevelopment plan. All of such Plans and Specifications shall be submitted for approval by the City in accordance with the City approval process prior to the commencement of any construction. The City shall use its best efforts to notify Tenant in writing of its approval, disapproval or comments upon any Plans and Specifications submitted in accordance with the City approval process within thirty (30) days of its receipt. Within one hundred eighty (180) days of the completion of construction of the Tenant’s Base Building Improvements or a Subtenant’s Fixed Improvements, Tenant with respect to Tenant’s Base Building Improvements shall deliver to and shall cause its Subtenants with respect to the Subtenant’s Fixed Improvements to deliver to the Commissioner final and complete “as-built” Plans and Specifications as outlined in the TDCPM.

​

​

54

​

The City’s approval of any Tenant or Subtenant Plans and Specifications may be withheld, granted or conditioned upon factors which it determines in its sole discretion has or may have an impact upon the City, the Airport, the Terminal or its efficient or productive operation thereof; including but not limited to, the removal of the proposed improvement, structure, alteration, modification, sign or addition upon termination or expiration of the Tenant’s or any Subtenant’s occupancy of the Concession Premises, if a Subtenant so desires to remove. The City shall notify Tenant in writing of its approval, disapproval or comments upon any request submitted in accordance with the TDCPM then in effect.

The City’s approval of any Plans and Specifications shall not be deemed or be construed to indicate or demonstrate adequacy of the design, construction or safety of the proposed improvement, structure, alteration, modification, sign or addition. Upon completion of the proposed improvement, structure, alteration, modification, sign or addition, Tenant shall or shall cause its Subtenants to deliver “as-built” drawings to the Commissioner.

(a)Tenant shall make and shall cause its Subtenants to make any construction or renovation of any proposed improvement, structure, alteration, modification, sign or addition in conformance with the City’s TDCPM. Any request for the City’s approval of preliminary engineering, architectural plans or other information, shall be in accordance with the requirements of the TDCPM in effect from time to time during the Term.

(b)Tenant shall or shall cause its Subtenants to, at their own expense, remove from the Premises all trash and debris which may accumulate in connection with Tenant’s and Subtenant’s construction activities and, should Tenant fail to do so, the City may, in addition to any other right or remedy of the City, remove such trash and debris following one (1) days’ notice to Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, and the expenses so incurred by the City shall be due and payable by Tenant, as Additional Rent on demand. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining or causing its Subtenants to obtain all necessary permits, approvals and variances and for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Tenant shall be entitled to pass through such expenses for any Subtenants who fail to comply with this provision.

​

55

​

(c)All contracts for the construction or installation of Tenant’s Base Building Improvements and each Subtenant’s Fixed Improvements shall require:

(i)insurance coverage in accordance with Exhibit P and suretyship reasonably satisfactory to the City for the protection of the City, its laborers, suppliers, contractors, subcontractors and the public; and

(ii)that all Contractors comply with all applicable provisions of this Lease.

(d)Tenant and its Subtenants must comply in its design, construction, use, occupancy and operation of the Premises or any Subtenant Premises, at their own cost, with:

(i)all regulations and directives now or later promulgated by the FAA or TSA pertaining to Airport security, as such regulations and directives may be amended or modified from time to time during the Term of this Lease;

(ii)all federal, State of Illinois, and City laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, including all building, zoning and health codes and all Environmental Laws; and

(iii)the TDCPM and the Airport Concession Program Handbook.

Tenant and its Subtenants must complete or cause to be completed all of Tenant’s Base Building Improvements and the Subtenant Fixed Improvements in accordance with all rules, regulations and standards, including the TDCPM, and the approved Construction Documents for any Improvements. If there is a conflict between work requirements stated in this Lease and those set forth in the TDCPM, the terms and provisions of the TDCPM shall control. No construction must take place until the Commissioner has approved the Construction Documents.

(a)Tenant Base Building Improvements. Within one hundred eighty (180) days of the completion of Tenant’s Base Building Improvements or following any refurbishments made by Tenant to Tenant’s Base Building Improvements during the Term of this Lease Tenant shall furnish the City with a statement certified by an officer of Tenant subject to audit by the City, detailing the actual costs expended for the construction of Tenant’s Base Building Improvements or refurbishments made thereto, as the case may be, along with documentation of such expenditures, invoices and evidence of payment of such invoices and any other documentation the City shall reasonably request. Upon approval by the City, in accordance with the terms of this Lease, the approved amount for Tenant’s initial Base Building Improvements and/or any such refurbishments made thereto shall be deemed for all purposes of this Lease as the “Tenant Certified Construction Costs”.

​

​

56

​

(b)Subtenant Fixed Improvements. In connection with the Subtenants’ obligations to construct and install the Subtenant Fixed Improvements and Operating Equipment in the Subtenant Premises, Tenant shall cause the Subtenants to spend, in the aggregate, as to all of the Subtenant Premises, not less than the following amounts per square foot for such Subtenant Fixed Improvements and Operating Equipment hereafter set forth in accordance [**] of the completion of each Subtenant’s Subtenant Fixed Improvements, Tenant shall cause its Subtenants to furnish Tenant with a statement certified by an officer of each Subtenant subject to audit by Tenant and the City, detailing the actual costs expended for the construction of each Subtenant’s Subtenant Fixed Improvements, along with documentation of such expenditures, invoices and evidence of payment of such invoices and any other documentation the City shall reasonably request. Following review and approval of the Subtenant invoices by Tenant, Tenant shall furnish all such information to the City. Upon approval by the City, in accordance with the terms of this Lease, the approved amount shall be deemed for all purposes of this Lease as the “Subtenant Certified Construction Costs”.

(c)Only the following items shall be included in the Tenant Certified Construction Costs and Subtenant Certified Construction Costs:

(i)directly contracted construction, installation and fabrication costs with respect to Tenant’s Base Building Improvements and the Subtenant Fixed Improvements;

(ii)furniture, fixtures, decorative treatments and Operating Equipment purchased for and used in the Premises;

(iii)architectural, design, engineering and construction management costs, not to exceed twenty percent (20%) of the total approved cost of the items as defined in (A) and (B) above. The City reserves the right to require Tenant and Subtenants to provide a list of selected architects, interior designers, and construction managers for prior written approval by the City, which approval shall be timely and shall not be unreasonably withheld.

​

​

​

57

​

(a)Use of Residents. In connection with and during the construction of the Work, Tenant, its Subtenants and their respective Contractors must comply with the provisions of §2-92-330 of the Municipal Code of the City of Chicago (“Municipal Code”), as amended from time to time concerning the minimum percentage of total construction worker hours performed by qualified actual residents of the City. At least 50% of the total construction worker hours worked by persons on the site of the Work must be performed by actual residents of the City. Tenant or its Subtenants may request a reduction or waiver of this minimum percentage level of Chicagoans in accordance with standards and procedures developed by the Chief Procurement Officer of the City. In addition to complying with this percentage, Tenant, its Subtenants and any of their respective Contractors are required to make good faith efforts to utilize qualified actual residents of the City in both unskilled and skilled labor positions. “Actual residents of the City” means persons domiciled within the City. The domicile is an individual’s one and only true, fixed and permanent home. Tenant, its Subtenants and each of their respective Contractors (for purposes of this subsection, “Employer”) must provide for the maintenance of adequate employee residency records to ensure that actual Chicago residents are employed. Each Employer will maintain copies of personal documents supportive of every Chicago employee’s actual record of residence.

(b)Certified Payroll Reports. In connection with and during the construction of the Work, weekly certified payroll reports (U.S. Department of Labor Form WH-347 or equivalent) must be submitted to the Commissioner in triplicate and must identify clearly the actual residence of every employee on each submitted certified payroll. The first time that an employee’s name appears on a payroll, the date that the Employer hired the employee should be written in after the employee’s name.

​

​

58

​

(c)Inspection of Records. In connection with and during the construction of the Work, each Employer must provide full access to its employment records to the Chief Procurement Officer, the Commissioner, the Superintendent of the Chicago Police Department, the Inspector General or any duly authorized representative of any of them. Each Employer must maintain all relevant personnel data and records for a period of at least three (3) years after final acceptance of the Work. At the direction of the Commissioner, affidavits and other supporting documentation may be required of each Employer to verify or clarify an employee’s actual address when doubt or lack of clarity has arisen.

(d)Level of Effort. Efforts on the part of each Employer to provide utilization of actual Chicago residents that are not sufficient for the granting of a waiver request as provided for in the standards and procedures developed by the City’s Chief Procurement Officer will not suffice to replace the actual, verified achievement of the requirements of this Section concerning the worker hours performed by actual Chicago residents.

(e)Shortfalls; Liquidated Damages. When the Work is completed, in the event that the City has determined that Tenant has failed to ensure the fulfillment of the requirement of this Section concerning the worker hours performed by actual residents of the City or failed to report in the manner as indicated above, the City will thereby be damaged in the failure to provide the benefit of demonstrable employment to Chicagoans to the degree stipulated in this Section. Therefore, in such a case of non-compliance, it is agreed that 1/20 of 1% of the aggregate hard construction costs of the Improvement Costs (the product of .0005 x such aggregate hard construction costs) (as evidenced by approved contract value for the actual contracts) must be surrendered by Tenant to the City as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, in payment for each percentage of shortfall toward the stipulated residency requirement. Failure to report the residency of employees entirely and correctly will result in the surrender of the entire liquidated damages as if no actual residents of the City were employed in either of the categories. The willful falsification of statements and the certification of payroll data may subject Tenant, its Subtenants and/or the Contractors to prosecution. The City may draw against the Security any amounts that appear to be due to the City under this provision pending the City’s determination as to the full amount of liquidated damages due on completion of the Work.

(f)Nothing set forth in this Section acts as a limitation upon the “Notice of Requirements for Affirmative Action to Ensure Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246” and “Standard Federal Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246,” or other affirmative action required for equal opportunity under the provisions of this Lease or related documents, as applicable.

​

​

59

​

(g)Inclusion in Contracts. Tenant and its Subtenants must cause or require the provisions of this Section to be included in all construction Contracts related to the Work.

“Contractor certifies and represents that Contractor and any entity or individual that owns or controls, or is controlled or owned by, or is under common control or ownership with Contractor is not currently indebted to the City and will not at any time during the Term be indebted to the City, for or on account of any delinquent taxes, liens, judgments, fees or other debts for which no written agreement or payment plan satisfactory to the City has been established. In addition to any other rights or remedies available to the City at law or in equity, Contractor acknowledges that any breach or failure to conform to this certification may, at the option and direction of the City, result in the withholding of payments otherwise due to Contractor for services rendered in connection with the Lease and, if the breach or failure is not resolved to the City’s satisfaction within a reasonable time frame specified by the City in writing, may result in the offset of any such indebtedness against the payments otherwise due to Contractor and/or the termination of Contractor for default (in which case Contractor will be liable for all excess costs and other damages resulting from the termination.)”

​

​

60

​

​

​

​

61

​

Tenant shall not and Tenant shall not allow its Subtenants to place or construct any Improvements, structures, alterations, modifications, signs, communications equipment, wiring or additions or Operating Equipment in, to, or upon the Premises without the prior written approval of the City, in accordance with the City approval process, which may be withheld in the City’s sole and absolute discretion. In the event Tenant fails to obtain the City’s prior written approval, the City may, without limiting other remedies available to it, direct in writing that Tenant or its Subtenants modify, reconstruct or remove any work done without the approval of the City.

​

​

62

​

Notwithstanding the provisions for the City’s access to the Premises or any portion thereof Premises, Tenant releases and shall cause its Subtenants to release the City from all responsibility arising out of theft, robbery, pilferage and personal assault unless the same results from the City’s negligence or willful misconduct.

​

​

63

​

Upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease or Tenant’s or its Subtenant’s right to possession of the Premises or any portion thereof, Tenant must return and cause its Subtenants to return all keys to the Commissioner and must disclose to the Commissioner the combination of any safes, cabinets or vaults left in the Premises;

​

​

​

64

​

(a)Tenant and its Subtenants will cause any artist who creates artwork for the Premises or a Subtenant Premises, as the case may be, to waive any and all rights in the artwork that may be granted or conferred on any work of visual art (the “Artwork”) under Section 106A and Section 113 of the United States Copyright Act, (17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.) (the “Copyright Act”). The waiver must include, but is not limited to, the right to prevent the removal, storage, relocation, reinstallation, or transfer of the Artwork. Tenant or its Subtenants shall acknowledge and will cause the artist to acknowledge that such removal, storage, relocation, reinstallation or transfer of the Artwork may result in the destruction, distortion, mutilation or other modification of the Artwork. Further, the Tenant or its Subtenants shall acknowledge and consent and will cause the artist to acknowledge and consent that the Artwork may be incorporated or made part of a building or other structure in such a way that removing, storing, relocating, reinstalling or transferring the Artwork will cause the destruction, distortion, mutilation or other modification of the Artwork.

(b)Tenant represents and warrants, and shall cause each Subtenant to represent and warrant, that such Tenant or its Subtenants will obtain a waiver of Section 106A and Section 113 of the Copyright Act as necessary from any employees and subcontractors, or any other artists. Tenant or its Subtenants, as the case may be, must provide City with copies of any such waivers required by Section 106A and Section 113 of the Copyright Act prior to installation of any Artwork in the Premises or any Subtenant Premises.

(a)Insubstantial Damage. If Tenant’s Base Building Improvements or Subtenant’s Fixed Improvements to any of the Premises are damaged, in whole or in part, by fire or casualty, and there is no Major Damage (as defined below) to the portion of the Terminal served by the damaged Tenant Base Building Improvements or Subtenant’s Fixed Improvements, then the Commissioner must repair any damage to the Shell and Core at the City’s expense, and Tenant must repair the damage to Tenant’s Base Building Improvements as soon as reasonably possible (after completion of the Shell and Core) at Tenant’s expense and Subtenant must repair the damage to the Subtenant Fixed Improvements as soon as reasonably possible (after completion of the Tenant Base Building Improvements) at Subtenant’s expense.

​

​

​

65

​

(b)Major Damage.

(i)“Major Damage” means any damage or destruction that, based on reasonable estimates made by the Department within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the damage or destruction, in order to be repaired to the condition existing before the damage or destruction:

a.would cost, with respect to the Improvements, in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost value of all Improvements; or, if within the last five (5) years of the Term, in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of such replacement cost; and

b.would cost, with respect to the Shell and Core, in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost of the Shell and Core, or would require, in the sole judgment of the Commissioner, more than nine (9) months to complete.

(ii)If any part of the Terminal suffers Major Damage, whether or not including any portion of the Premises located in them, in whole or in part by fire or other casualty, the Commissioner has the right, for a period of six (6) months starting on the date of the occurrence, to elect not to repair the Major Damage as otherwise required under this Section, by giving written notice of the election to Tenant. If the Commissioner notifies Tenant of the Commissioner’s election not to repair the Major Damage, this Lease will terminate as to the affected Premises effective as of the date of the Major Damage, all Rent due under this Lease must be prorated to the date of termination, and Tenant must surrender the affected portion of the Premises to the City.

(iii)If any portion of the Premises suffers Major Damage, and if after the occurrence of the damage the Lease is not terminated, the Commissioner and the Airport architect will estimate the cost of restoration and the length of time that will be required to repair the damage and will notify Tenant of the estimate. If sufficient insurance proceeds are available to repair the damage and the damage can be repaired and the Improvements restored before the Term expires, then Tenant or its Subtenants, as the case may be, may elect to repair the damage and restore the Improvements. If Tenant determines in its reasonable business judgment not to elect to perform the repair and restoration, then Tenant shall pay to the City all insurance proceeds received as a result if such Major Damage and then this Lease terminates as to the impacted portion of the Premises as of the date of the Major Damage. The City shall have the right to restore and thereafter lease any such locations to other third parties.

​

​

66

​

(iv)If this Lease is not terminated in accordance with paragraphs (b)(ii) or (iii) and a casualty has damaged or destroyed any portion of the Shell and Core involving the Premises, the City will restore the Shell and Core to the condition existing on when possession was delivered by the City to Tenant, according to the original as-built plans and specifications. Upon completion of the City’s Shell and Core restoration work, if any, Tenant and Subtenant shall proceed to rebuild the Improvements as nearly as possible to the character of Improvements existing immediately before the occurrence.

(v)Before beginning to replace, repair, rebuild or restore Improvements, Tenant and its Subtenant must deliver to the Commissioner a report of an independent consultant acceptable to the Commissioner setting forth:

a.an estimate of the total cost of the Work;

b.the estimated date upon which the Work will be substantially completed; and

c.a statement to the effect that insurance proceeds are projected to be sufficient to pay the costs of the Work.

(vi)The Commissioner will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide suitable temporary Relocation Space during the period of restoration subject to the reasonable approval of Tenant or its Subtenants. Tenant or its Subtenants must relocate impacted operations to the temporary Relocation Space, and the costs associated with any such relocation, including moving expenses and the cost of reconstructing the Improvements in the temporary Relocation Space, shall be borne by Tenant and its Subtenants but only to the extent insurance covers any such costs.

(c)Tenant’s Option. If the Concession Premises or a portion of it is subject to Major Damage during the final three (3) years of the Term, Tenant has the right, for a period of sixty (60) days beginning on the date of the occurrence, to elect not to restore the affected Improvements as otherwise required under this Lease by giving the Commissioner written notice of the election, in which event this Lease will, as to the portion of the Premises, terminate upon the notice. If Tenant desires to rebuild the affected Premises, it may do so only upon the written approval of the Commissioner. If approved, Tenant will receive the unamortized Improvement Cost of the restoration upon termination or expiration of the Term, with amortization being calculated on a straight-line basis over a period of time equivalent to the original Term.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant has not been, is not, and will not become involved in or allow its Subtenants to become involved in operations at the Premises involving Hazardous Materials, except as expressly permitted by and only in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws. Tenant expressly warrants, represents and covenants that Tenant, its Subtenants, employees, agents, Contractors, and licensees shall strictly comply with the requirements of all Environmental Laws affecting the Premises and shall immediately notify the City of any release or threat of release of Hazardous Materials at, upon, under or within the Premises.

ARTICLE 11

INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

Tenant shall, and shall cause its Subtenants to, at their respective sole expense, procure and maintain at all times during the Term of this Lease, and during any time period following expiration or termination of this Lease during which Tenant or Subtenant is holding over or Tenant is required to return to the Premises for any reason whatsoever, the types of insurance set forth in Exhibit P covering all operations under this Lease, with insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of Illinois.

(a)Except where this indemnity clause would be found to be inoperative or unenforceable under the Construction Contract Indemnification for Negligence Act, 740 ILCS 35/0.01 et seq. (“Anti-Indemnity Act”), Tenant must defend, indemnify, keep and hold harmless the City, its officers, representatives, elected and appointed officials, agents and employees, from and against any and all Losses, except for any Losses which are the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of the City, its employees, agents, contractors and subcontractors.

(b)“Losses” means, individually and collectively, liabilities of every kind, including losses, damages, and reasonable costs, payments and expenses (such as, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, judgments or settlements, any or all of which in any way arise out of or relate to the acts or omissions of Tenant, its Subtenants and their respective employees, agents, and Contractors.

​

​

72

​

(c)At the City Corporation Counsel’s option, Tenant shall defend all suits brought upon all such Losses and must pay all costs and expenses incidental to them, but the City has the right, at its option, to participate, at its own cost, in the defense of any suit, without relieving Tenant of the foregoing indemnity obligations under this Section. Tenant must not make any settlement without the prior written consent to it by the City Corporation Counsel if the settlement requires any action on the part of the City or in any way involving the Airport.

(d)To the extent permissible by law, Tenant waives any limits to the amount of its obligations to indemnify, defend or contribute to any sums due under any Losses, including any claim by any employee of Tenant that may be subject to the Workers’ Compensation Act, 820 ILCS 305/1 et seq or any other related law or judicial decision (such as, Kotecki v. Cyclops Welding Corporation, 146 Ill. 2d 155 (1991)). The waiver, however, does not require Tenant to indemnify the City for the City’s own negligence or willful misconduct. The City, however, does not waive any limitations it may have on its liability under the Worker’s Compensation Act or under the Illinois Pension Code.

(e)The indemnities contained in this Section survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, for matters occurring or arising during the Term of this Lease or as the result of or during the holding over of Tenant beyond the Term. Tenant acknowledges that the requirements set forth in this Section to indemnify, keep and save harmless and defend the City are apart from and not limited by the Tenant’s duties under this Lease, including the insurance and Security requirements.

ARTICLE 12

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

​

​

73

​

(a)This Lease is expressly subject to the airport security requirements of Title 49 of the United States Code, Chapter 449, as amended (“Airport Security Act”), the provisions of which govern airport security, including the rules and regulations promulgated under it. Tenant is subject to, and further must conduct with respect to its Contractors and the respective employees of each, such employment investigations, including criminal history record checks, as the Commissioner, the TSA or the FAA may deem necessary. Further, in the event of any threat to civil aviation, as defined in the Airport Security Act, Tenant must promptly report any known information in accordance with those regulations promulgated by the United States Department of Transportation, the TSA and by the City. Tenant must, notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, at no additional cost to the City, perform under this Lease in compliance with those guidelines developed by the City, the TSA and the FAA with the objective of maximum security enhancement. The drawings, plans, and specifications provided by Tenant and its Subtenants under this Lease must comply with those guidelines for airport security developed by the City, the TSA and the FAA and in effect at the time of their submission.

​

74

​

(b)Further, Tenant shall comply with, and require compliance by its Contractors, suppliers of materials and furnishers of services and employees with all present and future laws, rules, regulations, or ordinances promulgated by the City, the TSA or the FAA, or other governmental agencies to protect the security and integrity of the Airport, and to protect against access by unauthorized persons. Tenant shall adopt procedures to control and limit access to the Airport and the Premises by Tenant and its Contractors, suppliers of materials and furnishers of services, employees, in accordance with all present and future City, TSA and FAA laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances. At all times during the Term, Tenant must have in place and in operation a security program for the Premises that complies with all applicable laws and regulations.

(c)Gates and doors located on the Premises, if any, that permit entry into restricted areas at the Airport must be kept locked by Tenant or its Subtenants at all times when not in use. Gate or door malfunctions must be reported to the Commissioner or the Commissioner’s designee without delay and must be kept under constant surveillance by Tenant or the applicable Subtenant, as the case may be, until the malfunction is remedied.

(d)In connection with the implementation of its security program, Tenant may receive, gain access to or otherwise obtain certain knowledge and information related to the City’s overall Airport security program. Tenant acknowledges that all such knowledge and information is of a highly confidential nature. Tenant covenants that no person will be permitted to gain access to such knowledge and information, unless the person has been approved by the Commissioner in advance in writing.

(e)To the extent any of Tenant’s employees require identification badges or security clearance for access at the Terminal, Tenant shall be responsible at its expense for securing such badges or clearance. Tenant will cause Subtenants to be similarly responsible for their personnel under the Subleases, and will monitor compliance by Subtenants with required badging and security clearances and the screening of Subtenant goods, products, equipment, materials and supplies to the extent required in the Terminal. Subtenants will deliver any badge applications for Subtenant employees to Tenant which shall forward them to the Department. Tenant will apply fines, penalties or default remedies under Subleases as required to remedy violations or other deficiencies by Subtenants, but shall not have any other responsibility or liability with respect to security issues relating to such Subtenant employee badging and security clearance requirements and the screening of any such Subtenant goods, products, equipment materials and supplies. Subtenants shall be billed directly by the City for all costs for such badging of personnel and security clearances. The City acknowledges that Tenant has no obligation to conduct screening or inspection of goods, products, equipment, materials or supplies brought to the Terminal, Premises or Airport by or on behalf of Subtenants.

​

​

75

​

(f)Tenant further must indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City from and against any and all claims, reasonable costs, reasonable expenses, damages and liabilities, including all reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, resulting directly from the breach of Tenant’s covenants and agreements as set forth in this Section.

(1)Tenant, any person or entity who directly or indirectly has an ownership or beneficial interest in Tenant of more than 7.5 percent (“Owners”), spouses and domestic partners of such Owners, Tenant’s Contractors, any person or entity who directly or indirectly has an ownership or beneficial interest in any Contractor of more than 7.5 percent (“Sub-owners”) and spouses and domestic partners of such Sub-owners (Tenant and all the other preceding classes of persons and entities are together, the “Identified Parties”), shall not make a contribution of any amount to the Mayor of the City of Chicago (the “Mayor”) or to his political fund-raising committee (i) after execution of this bid, proposal or Agreement by Tenant, (ii) while this Lease or any Other Contract is executory, (iii) during the term of this Lease or any Other Contract between Tenant and the City, or (iv) during any period while an extension of this Lease or any Other Contract is being sought or negotiated.

(3)Tenant agrees that it shall not: (a) coerce, compel or intimidate its employees to make a contribution of any amount to the Mayor or to the Mayor’s political fund-raising committee; (b) reimburse its employees for a contribution of any amount made to the Mayor or to the Mayor’s political fund-raising committee; or (c) bundle or solicit others to bundle contributions to the Mayor or to his political fund-raising committee.

(4)Tenant agrees that the Identified Parties must not engage in any conduct whatsoever designed to intentionally violate this provision or Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4 or to entice, direct or solicit others to intentionally violate this provision or Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4.

(5)Tenant agrees that a violation of, non-compliance with, misrepresentation with respect to, or breach of any covenant or warranty under this provision or violation of Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4 constitutes a breach and default under this Lease, and under any Other Contract for which no opportunity to cure will be granted. Such breach and default entitles the City to all remedies (including without limitation termination for default) under this Lease, under Other Contract, at law and in equity. This provision amends any Other Contract and supersedes any inconsistent provision contained therein.

​

​

76

​

(6)If Tenant violates this provision or Mayoral Executive Order No. 2011-4 prior to award of the Agreement resulting from this specification, the Chief Procurement Officer may reject Tenant’s bid.

The right of inspection shall impose on the City no duty to inspect and shall impart no liability upon the City for failure to inspect.

(b)To perform any obligation, to perform maintenance and make repairs and replacements in any event where Tenant is obligated to do so under this Lease and has failed to perform such obligation following any applicable notice and cure periods provided for in this Lease or to initiate such repairs and maintenance within the time periods provided for in this Lease, if applicable, or, if no time period is provided, within thirty (30) days after written notice from the City, and thereafter to diligently complete such obligations, repairs or replacements, or at any time with or without written notice, in the event that the City, in its sole discretion, deems that it is necessary or prudent to do so to preserve all or any part of the Terminal from damage or to correct any condition likely to lead to injury or damage.

(c)To perform any obligation of the City under this Lease and to make additions, alterations, maintenance and repairs to the Terminal and any other areas on the Airport.

Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit, or diminish the right of, the City to enter the Premises at any time and conduct, without notice to Tenant or any Subtenant, inspections or audits as set forth in Article 7 of this Lease to determine any Subtenant’s compliance with the Service and Perfomiance Operating Standards as set forth in Article 7 of this Lease.

(a)Tenant acknowledges that from time to time the City may undertake construction, repair or other activities related to the operation, maintenance and repair of the Terminal or the Airport that will require temporary accommodation by Tenant and its Subtenants. In addition, the City reserves the right to permanently reconfigure the Common Areas and the Premises as necessary to accommodate the construction of connections from the Terminal to other terminals or facilities at the Airport or relocate or reconfigure the Terminal Gates and Ramp Area. The City agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize disruption in Tenant’s and its Subtenants’ business operations during such period of construction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the City may temporarily or permanently close, alter, change, modify and/or relocate any entrances, passageways, doors and doorways, corridors, elevators, escalators or other parts of the Common Areas or the Terminal (other than the Premises); and the City may at any time and from time to time make such changes, alterations, additions, improvements, repairs or replacements in or to the Terminal, as well as in or to the entrances, passages, elevators, escalators, and stairways thereof; as it may deem necessary or desirable, and to change the arrangement and/or location of entrances, passageways, doors and doorways, and corridors, elevators, stairs, rest rooms, or other public parts of the Common Areas or the Terminal (other than the Premises), and may stop or interrupt any service or utility system, when necessary by reason of accident or emergency or construction work until the necessity for the interruption or stoppage has ended. The City will endeavor to give Tenant advance notice of such work whenever possible (except in the case of an emergency, in which case no notice shall be required).

​

​

79

​

(b)Tenant further acknowledges that such improvements may require substantial construction work in the Terminal during normal business hours, which may disrupt Tenant’s and its Subtenant’s business operations and create noise, dust and other concomitants of construction work. Tenant agrees that it shall have no right except as expressly provided herewith, to any abatement of Rent, Additional Rent or other compensation or to any claim of breach of the City’s covenant of quiet enjoyment (express or implied) or an actual or constructive eviction or for loss of business or inconvenience, or in any event for consequential damages on account of any such construction work, and without incurring any liability to Tenant or otherwise affecting Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Tenant agrees to accommodate and shall cause its Subtenants to accommodate the City in such activities even though the Tenant’s and its Subtenants’ own operations may be inconvenienced or partially impaired.

(c)In the event the City elects to exercise its rights under this Section to close any portion of the Premises, it shall give Tenant not less than fifteen (15) days notice (except in the case of an emergency in which case no notice shall be required) of the City’s intent to temporarily close any portion of the Premises, which portion shall be described in such notice.

ARTICLE 17

DEFAULT, REMEDIES AND TERMINATION

(a)The following constitute Events of Default by Tenant under this Lease. The Commissioner will notify Tenant in writing of any event that the Commissioner believes to be an Event of Default. Tenant will be given an opportunity to cure the Event of Default within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the Commissioner, but not to exceed thirty (30) days after written notice of the Event of Default; provided, that (i) if a provision of this Lease provides for a different cure period for a particular Event of Default, that different cure period will apply; (ii) if a provision of this Lease does not allow a right to cure a particular Event of Default, there will be no right to cure; and (iii) if neither (i) or (ii) apply and if the promise, covenant, term, condition or other non-monetary obligation or duty cannot be cured within the time period granted by the Commissioner, but Tenant promptly begins and diligently and continuously proceeds to cure the failure within the time period granted and after that continues to diligently and continuously proceed to cure the failure, and the failure is reasonably susceptible of cure within sixty (60) days from delivery of the notice, Tenant will have the additional time, not in any event to exceed sixty (60) days, to cure the failure.

(1)Any material misrepresentation intentionally made by Tenant to the City in the inducement to City to enter this Lease or in the performance of this Lease. There is no right to cure this Event of Default.

(2)Tenant’s failure to make any payment in full when due under this Lease and failure to cure the default within ten (10) days after the City gives written notice of the non-payment to Tenant. In addition, Tenant’s failure to make any such payment within ten (10) days after the written notice more than three (3) times in any Lease Year constitutes an Event of Default without the necessity of the City giving notice of the fourth failure to Tenant or any opportunity to cure it.

​

​

90

​

(3)Subject to Force Majeure, Tenant’s failure to promptly and fully keep, fulfill, comply with, observe, or perform any promise, covenant, term, condition or other non-monetary obligation or duty of Tenant contained in this Lease.

(4)Tenant’s failure to provide or maintain the insurance coverage required under this Lease (including any material non-compliance with the requirements) and the failure to cure within two (2) days following written notice from the Commissioner; or, if the noncompliance is non-material, the failure to cure within twenty (20) days after the Commissioner gives written notice. The Commissioner, in her sole discretion, will determine if noncompliance is material.

(5)Subject to Force Majeure, Tenant’s failure to cause the Concession Program operations in any Concession Premises at all times Tenant is required to do so under this Lease.

(6)Tenant’s failure to require Subtenants to comply with the Street Pricing policy.

(7)Subject to Force Majeure, Tenant’s failure to begin or to complete or to diligently cause its Subtenant to begin or complete its respective Improvements (as defined in Article 8 hereof) on a timely basis or to timely open for business in the Premises or any portion of it.

(8)An default by Tenant or any Affiliate under any other agreement it may presently have or may enter into with the City during the Term of this Lease and failure to cure such default within any applicable cure period.

(9)Tenant does any of the following and the action affects Tenant’s ability to carry out the terms of this Lease: (i) becomes insolvent, as the term is defined under Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code as amended from time to time; or (ii) fails to pay its debts generally as they mature; or (iii) seeks the benefit of any present or future federal, state or foreign insolvency statute; or (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (v) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a petition or answer seeking an arrangement of its indebtedness under the United States Bankruptcy Code or under any other law or statute of the United States or of any State or any foreign jurisdiction; or (vi) consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, liquidator or other similar official, of all or substantially all of its property, which remains in effect for a period in excess of sixty (60) days.

(10)An order for relief is entered by or against Tenant under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code or similar law in any foreign jurisdiction and is not stayed or vacated within sixty (60) days following its issuance.

​

​

91

​

(11)Tenant is dissolved.

(12)A violation of law that results in a guilty plea, a plea of nolo contendere, guilty finding, or conviction of a criminal offense, by Tenant, or any of its directors, officers, partners or key management employees directly or indirectly relating to this Lease, and that may threaten, in the sole judgment of Commissioner, Tenant’s performance of this Lease in accordance with its terms.

(13)Subject to Force Majeure, any failure to perform, act, event or omission that is specifically identified as an Event of Default elsewhere in this Lease.

If an Event of Default occurs and is not cured by Tenant in the time allowed, in addition to any other remedies provided for in this Lease, including the remedy of Self-help as provided in Section 17.3, the City through the Commissioner or other appropriate City official may exercise any or all of the following remedies.

(a)Terminate this Lease with respect to all or a portion of the Premises and exclude Tenant from that part of the Premises affected by the termination. If the Commissioner elects to terminate this Lease, the Commissioner may, at the Commissioner’s sole option, serve notice upon Tenant that this Lease ceases and expires and becomes absolutely void with respect to the Premises or that part identified in the notice on the date specified in the notice, to be no less than five (5) days after the date of the notice, without any right on the part of Tenant after that to save the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by the performance of any term, provision, covenant, agreement or condition broken. At the expiration of the time limit in the notice, this Lease and the Term of this Lease, as well as the right, title and interest of Tenant under this Lease, wholly ceases and expires and becomes void with respect to the Premises identified in such notice in the same manner and with the same force and effect (except as to Tenant’s liability) as if the date fixed in the notice were the date in this Lease stated for expiration of the Term with respect to the Premises identified in such notice.

(b)Recover all Rent, including Additional Rent and any other amounts due that have accrued and are then due and payable and also all damages available at law or under this Lease. If this Lease is terminated, whether in its entirety or with respect to a part of the Premises, the damages will include damages for the balance of the scheduled Term, based upon any and all amounts that Tenant would have been obligated to pay for the balance of the Term with respect to the Premises, or if this Lease is terminated with respect to a portion of the Premises, that portion of the Premises affected by the termination, calculated as provided in this Lease or, if not fixed, as reasonably estimated and prorated among the various portions of the Premises. In determining the amount of damages for the period after termination, the Commissioner may make the determination based upon the sum of any future payments that would have been due to the City, for the full Lease Year immediately before the Event of Default. All amounts that would have been due and payable after termination for the balance of the Term with respect to all or a portion of the Premises must be discounted to present value at a rate deemed to be commercially reasonable for such purposes as of the date of termination. To the extent permitted by law, the Commissioner may declare all amounts to be immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City shall use its best efforts to mitigate its damages by finding a replacement Tenant for the Premises being terminated paying comparable Rent.

​

​

92

​

(c)At any time after the occurrence of any uncured Event of Default, whether or not this Lease has been terminated, reenter and repossess the Premises and/or any part of it with or without process of law, so long as no undue force is used, and the City has the option, but not the obligation, to re-lease all or any part of the Premises. The City, however, is not required to accept any tenant proposed by Tenant or to observe any instruction given the City about such a re-lease. The failure of the City to re-lease the Premises or any part or parts of it does not relieve or affect Tenant’s liability under this Lease nor is the City liable for failure to re-lease. Reentry or taking possession of the Premises does not constitute an election on the City’s part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of the election by the Commissioner is given to Tenant. Even if the City re-leases without termination, the Commissioner may at any time after that elect to terminate this Lease for any previous uncured Event of Default. For the purpose of re-leasing, the Commissioner may decorate or make repairs, changes, alterations or additions in or to the Premises to the extent deemed by the Commissioner to be necessary to re-let the Premises, and the cost of the decoration, repairs, changes, alterations or additions will be charged to and payable by Tenant as Additional Rent under this Lease. Any sums collected by the City from any new tenant obtained on account of Tenant will be credited against the balance of the Rent due under this Lease. Tenant must pay the City monthly, on the days when payments of Rent would have been payable under this Lease, the amount due under this Lease less the amount obtained by the City from the new tenant, if any.

(d)Enter upon the Premises, distrain upon and remove from it all inventory, equipment, machinery, trade fixtures and personal property of any kind or nature, whether owned by Tenant or by others, and to proceed without judicial decree, writ of execution or assistance or involvement of constables or the City’s and Tenant’s officers, to conduct a private sale, by auction or sealed bid without restriction. Tenant waives the benefit of all laws, whether now in force or later enacted, exempting any of Tenant’s property on the Premises or elsewhere from distraint, levy or sale in any legal proceedings taken by the City to enforce any rights under this Lease.

(e)Seek and obtain specific performance, a temporary restraining order or an injunction, or any other appropriate equitable remedy.

(f)Seek and obtain monetary damages.

(g)Deem Tenant and Affiliates non-responsible in future contracts or concessions to be awarded by the City.

​

​

93

​

(h)Declare Tenant and Affiliates in default under any other existing contracts or agreements they might have with the City and to exercise any remedies available under those other contracts or agreements.

(i)Assume the assignment of any and all Subleases between Tenant and Subtenants.

(j)Require Tenant to terminate a Sublease or a Contract that is causing an Event of Default under this Lease which has not been cured.

(a)Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that Tenant has failed to cure in the time provided, the Commissioner may, but is not obligated to, make any payment or perform any act required to be performed by Tenant under this Lease in any manner deemed expedient by the Commissioner for the purpose of correcting the condition that gave rise to the Event of Default (“Self-help”). The Commissioner’s inaction never constitutes a waiver of any right accruing to the City under this Lease nor do the provisions of this Section or any exercise by the Commissioner of Self-help under this Lease cure any Event of Default. Any exercise of Self-help does not limit the right of any other City department or agency to enforce applicable City ordinances or regulations.

(b)The Commissioner, in making any payment that Tenant has failed to pay:

(i)relating to taxes, may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate, without inquiry into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim;

(ii)for the discharge, compromise or settlement of any lien, may do so without inquiry as to the validity or amount of any claim for lien that may be asserted; and

(iii)in connection with the completion of construction, furnishing or equipping of the Premises or the licensing, operation or management of the Premises or the payment of any of its Operating Costs, may do so in such amounts and to such persons as the Commissioner may deem appropriate.

Nothing contained in this Lease requires the Commissioner to advance monies for any purpose.

(c)If Tenant fails to perform its obligations under this Lease to maintain the Premises or to manage the Concession Program in accordance with specified standards within sixty (60) days following written notice from the Commissioner, or in the event of a serious health or safety concern or in an emergency (in which case no notice is required) the Commissioner may, but is not obligated to, direct the Department to perform or cause the performance of any such obligation in any manner deemed expedient by the Commissioner for the purpose of correcting the condition in question.

​

​

94

​

(d)All sums paid by the City under the provisions of this Section and all necessary and incidental costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with the performance of any such act by the Commissioner, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the date of the City’s payment until the date paid by Tenant, are deemed Additional Rent under this Lease and are payable to the City within ten (10) days after demand therefor, or at the option of the Commissioner, may be added to any Rent then due or later becoming due under this Lease, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums with interest at the Default Rate.

(a)The City’s waiver of any one right or remedy provided in this Lease does not constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy then or later available to the City under this Lease or otherwise. A failure by the City or the Commissioner to take any action with respect to any Event of Default or violation of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease by Tenant will not in any respect limit, prejudice, diminish or constitute a waiver of any rights of the City to act with respect to any prior, contemporaneous or later violation or Event of Default or with respect to any continuation or repetition of the original violation or Event of Default. The acceptance by the City of payment for any period or periods after an Event of Default or violation of any of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease does not constitute a waiver or diminution of, nor create any limitation upon any right of the City under this Lease to terminate this Lease for subsequent violation or Event of Default, or for continuation or repetition of the original violation or Event of Default. Tenant has no claim of any kind against the City by reason of the City’s exercise of any of its rights as set forth in this Lease or by reason of any act incidental or related to the exercise of rights.

(b)All rights and remedies of the City under this Lease are separate and cumulative and none excludes any other right or remedy of the City set forth in this Lease or allowed by law or in equity. No termination of this Lease or the taking or recovery of the Premises or any portion thereof deprives the City of any of its remedies against Tenant for Rent, including Additional Rent or other amounts due or for damages for the Tenant’s breach of this Lease. Every right and remedy of the City under this Lease arising out of Tenant’s default or indemnification obligations survives the expiration of the Term or the termination of this Lease.

In the event that the City fails to perform its obligations as landlord (and not as Airport operator or municipality) with respect to the Premises under this Lease, the Tenant may send City written notice citing the Lease provision at issue and the facts surrounding the alleged non-performance. If the City does not respond to such notice within sixty (60) days and take timely corrective action as appropriate under the circumstances, Tenant may perform such obligation on behalf of the City. Tenant’s reasonable and actual costs in performing may be offset against the following month’s Rent.
