structed by the Lessee, but not including certain easements or
property owned and/or controlled by the Lessor. Lessee further

egress across the concrete taxiway as shown on attachment A.
B. IMPROVEMENTS PROVIDED BY LESSOR: NONE: There will be no
improvements provided by Lessor, except as set forth in Article
II.D. "Access to Utilities" below.
For the purpose of this Agreement, the term "Lessor improve-
ments'' shall mean those things on the leased premises belonging to,
constructed by, or to be constructed by the Lessor, which enhances
grown Lease Agreement - Tract C - Page 3
or increases, or will enhance or increase, the value or quality of
the leased land or property. Unless otherwise noted herein, all
Lessor improvements are and will remain the property of the Lessor.
All Lessor improvements must be described in detail above, or above
referenced and attached to this Agreement in an exhibit approved by
the Lessor.
C. EASEMENTS. Lessor and Lessee by mutual agreement may
establish, on the lease premises, easements for public access on
roads and taxiways.
D. ACCESS TO UTILITIES. Lessor represents that there are water
and 3-phase electricity lines within three hundred feet (300') of
the leased premises available to "tap-in" by Lessee, and that the
same are sufficient for usual and customary service on the leased
premises.
III. TERM
The term of this Agreement shall be for a period of years, com-
mencing on the ~ day of ~~e~-- , 19~ , and continuing
through the 30th day of April, 2025, unless earlier terminated under
the provisions of the Agreement. Any attempt by Lessee to renegoti-
ate this Lease shall be in writing addressed to the city Manager at
least one hundred eighty (180) days before the expiration of the
stated term of this lease, and at least 180 days before the expira-
tion of any additional renegotiated period. The rental and terms to
be negotiated shall be reasonable and consistent with the then
value, rentals and terms of similar property on the airport.
IV. PAYMENTS~ RENTALS AND FEES
Lessee covenants and agrees to pay Lessor, as consideration for
this lease, the following payments, rentals and fees:
A. LAND RENTAL shall be due and payable in the sum of Two
Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-One and 38/100 Dollars ($2,631.38) per
year, payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments in the sum
of Two Hundred Nineteen and 28/100 Dollars ($219.28) in advance, on
or before the first day of each and every month during the term of
this agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the annual lease rental is to be
reduced by the product of $0.078452 per square foot, times the
number of square feet comprising all easements established in
accordance with Article II(c).
B. LESSOR IMPROVEMENTS RENTALS. NONE: There are no Lessor
improvements on the leased premises.
C. PAYMENT, PENALTY, ADJUSTMENTS. Ail payments due Lessor from
Lessee shall be delivered to the Airport Manager, unless otherwise
Brown Lease Agreement - Tract C ~ Page 4
designated in writing by the Lessor. Payments which are more than
15 days past due shall be assessed the penalty of one-half of one
percent (0.5%) per day, compounded daily, per each day or a fraction
thereof which the payment or fee is more than 15 days past due. The
yearly rental for land and improvements herein leased shall be
readjusted at the end of each five (5) year period during the term
of this lease on the basis of the proportion that the then current
United States Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers (CPI-U)
for the Dallas-Fort Worth geographical region, as compiled by the
U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics bears to the
April 1990 index, which was 122.2 (1982-84 = 100). The original
land rental amount is based upon $0.078452 per square foot per year
for the land herein leased. However, in no event shall any of the
rental adjustments exceed fifty percent (50%) of the original
rental. Each rental adjustment, if any, shall occur on the first
day of May 1995, and every five (5) years thereafter.
The adjustments in the yearly rent shall be determined by
multiplying the minimum yearly rent as set forth in Section IV.A. by
a fraction, the numerator of which is the index number for the last
month prior to the adjustment, and the denominator of which is the
index number for the first month of the first year of the lease
term. If the product of this multiplication is greater than the
minimum yearly rent of as set forth in Section IV.A., Lessee shall
pay this greater amount as the yearly rent until the time of the
next rental adjustment as called for in this section. If the product
of this multiplication is less than the minimum yearly rent of as
set forth in Section IV.A., there shall be no adjustment in the
annual rent at that time, and Lessee shall pay the minimum yearly
rent as set forth in Section IV.A., until the time of the next
rental adjustment as called for in this section. In no event shall
any rental adjustment called for in this section result in an annual
rent less than the minimum yearly rent of as set forth in Section
IV.A.
If the consumer price index for all urban consumers (CPI-U) for
the Dallas-Fort Worth geographical region, as compiled by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, is discontinued
during the term of this lease, the remaining rental adjustments
called for in this section shall be made using the formula set forth
in Subsection (a) above, but substituting the index numbers for the
Consumer Price Index-Seasonally Adjusted U.S. city Average For All
Items For All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the index numbers for the
CPI-U applicable to the Dallas-Fort Worth geographical region. If
both the CPI-U for the Dallas-Fort Worth geographical region and the
U.S. city Average are discontinued during the term of this lease,
the remaining rental adjustments called for in this section shall be
made using the statistics of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United States Department of Labor that are most nearly comparable to
the CPI-U applicable to the Dallas-Fort Worth geographical region.
If the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of
Labor ceases to exist or ceases to publish statistics concerning the
grown Lease Agreement - Tract C - Page 5
purchasing power of the consumer dollar during the term of this
lease, the remaining rental adjustments called for in this section
shall be made using the most nearly comparable statistics published
by a recognized financial authority selected by Lessor.

to adjust or increase the liability insurance amounts required of
the Lessee, and to require any additional rider, provisions, or
certificates of insurance, and Lessee hereby agrees to provide any
such insurance requirements as may be required by Lessor; provided
however, that any requirements shall be commensurate with insurance
requirements at other public use airports similar to the Denton
Municipal Airport, in size and in scope of aviation activities,
located in the southwestern region of the United States. Lessee
herein agrees to comply with all increased or adjusted insurance
requirements that may be required by the Lessor throughout the
original or extended term of this lease, including types of insur-
ance and monetary amounts or limits of insurance, and to comply with
said insurance requirements within sixty (60) days following the
receipt of a notice in writing from Lessor stating the following
receipt of a notice in writing from Lessor stating the increased or

to require that Lessee maintain in force types of insurance and/or

it and Lessee thereafter is adjudicated bankrupt pursuant to such
proceedings, or any court shall take jurisdiction of Lessee and its
assets pursuant to proceedings brought under the provisions of any
Federal reorganization act, or Lessee shall be divested of its
estate herein by other operation of law; or Lessee shall fail to
perform, keep and observe any of the terms, covenants, or conditions
herein contained, or on its part to be performed, the Lessor may
give Lessee written notice to correct such condition or cure such
default and, if any condition or default shall continue for thirty
(30) days after the receipt of such notice by Lessee, then Lessor
may, terminate this lease by a written notice to Lessee. In the
event of default, Lessor has the right to purchase any or all
