3. AIRLINE shall be required to submit to AVIATION, its proposed flight schedule for the next ninety (90) day period in an electronic format provided by AVIATION, every thirty (30) days, so that AVIATION may utilize such information to make reasonable determinations on how to best utilize the Airport facilities and to assign such facilities to meet facility demands during peak time periods.

Additionally, AIRLINE shall accommodate its scheduled flights, as well as any flights of any Air Transportation Company that AIRLINE ground handles, on the Preferential Use Gates that it has been assigned to under this Agreement through a Space Use Letter. AVIATION reserves the right to deny the request by AIRLINE for the use of any Common Use Space if, as determined by AVIATION, such flight(s) can be accommodated on AIRLINE’s Preferential Use Gates.
 
D. Upon failure of AIRLINE to maintain the minimum gate utilization and/or ticket counter utilization standards as outlined herein, AVIATION may issue written notice of its intent to reassign all or a portion of AIRLINE’s Preferential Use Space (gates and/or ticket counters), as Common Use Space, or as Preferential Use Space of another Signatory Airline. Upon receipt of such notice, AIRLINE shall have thirty (30) days to demonstrate to AVIATION that it will meet AVIATION’s utilization standard for such Preferential Use Space. Otherwise, upon expiration of such thirty (30) day notice period AVIATION shall make the reassignment. AVIATION shall use the following, as minimum criteria, for the purpose of determining AIRLINE’s facility utilization, any prioritizations for any space assignments and/or space utilization purposes. Such minimum criteria shall be used to determine AIRLINE’s utilization of Preferential Use Space and any assignment of all Common Use Space. AVIATION reserves the right to establish additional criteria to determine prioritization of Common Use Space.
 
1. Gate Utilization: If AIRLINE’s utilization of such Preferential Use Gate is less than an average of nine hundred (900) total seats, based on a seven (7) day average, OR seven hundred fifty (750) seats plus five (5) flights per gate, per day into the Las Vegas market, based on a seven (7) day average, for the previous ninety (90) day period, AVIATION may, subject to the notice and cure process described in Section 4.01(D) above, reassign such Preferential Use Gate to another Air Transportation Company or reclaim such Preferential Use Space and designate same as a Common Use Gate without cost to AVIATION or further claim by AIRLINE for such reassignment.

AIRLINE shall have the right to require the other Air Transportation Companies to indemnify AIRLINE against liability arising out of such use. AVIATION may require AIRLINE, at no expense to AIRLINE, to relocate its aircraft to an aircraft parking apron by issuing a DDR, as defined in Section 1.01(A)(27) of this Agreement, so that AIRLINE’s Preferential Use Gate(s) may be used by others for active actual flight operations.
 
B. Should AIRLINE fail to reasonably accommodate such issued DDR by AVIATION, to relocate such aircraft and/or other associated equipment within the reasonable time frame requested by AVIATION, AIRLINE may be subject a penalty of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per occurrence.

2. Conversely, if AIRLINE is requiring the use of a Preferential Use Gate that has been assigned under this Agreement to another Air Transportation Company for their operations, AIRLINE will be subject to the payment to AVIATION of all applicable per turn fees that are in effect at that time. Such fees shall be collected by AVIATION and shall become part of the rate base, as if they were collected for use of a Common Use Gate.

AIRLINE shall bear all costs of such DDR operations. AVIATION shall track the number of uses of such Preferential Use Gate(s) by other Air Transportation Companies, unless it is an Affiliate Carrier of AIRLINE who has use of such gate as a Preferential Use Gate or unless such use is by a carrier who AIRLINE ground handles, as provided under Section 3.04 of this Agreement. Signatory Airlines will receive an annual credit as part of the year-end true-up, equaling the applicable per turn fee for either a narrow body aircraft operation or a wide body aircraft operation, that would be collected by AVIATION for the use of such Preferential Use Gate as a Common Use Gate. Such credit will be included in the overall year-end true-up, described in Section 7.04 and Section 7.05 of this Agreement, to either off-set any additional amounts owed to AVIATION or to be added to amounts that will be due AIRLINE as part of the calculations under Section 7.04 and Section 7.05 of this Agreement.
 
D. The Director shall have the right to authorize other Air Transportation Companies to use AIRLINE’s ticket counter, queuing, skycap areas, and baggage make-up areas assigned to AIRLINE as Preferential Use Space, when such positions are not required for AIRLINE’s operating flights.
