NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2024
(in thousands, except share data)
1. | Organization and Business Operations |
Sky Harbour Group Corporation (“SHG”) is a holding company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and, through its main operating subsidiary, Sky Harbour LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Sky”), is an aviation infrastructure development company that develops, leases and manages general aviation hangars for business aircraft across the United States. Sky Harbour Group Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.”
The Company is organized as an umbrella partnership-C corporation, or “Up-C”, structure in which substantially all of the operating assets of the Company are held by Sky and SHG’s only substantive assets are its equity interests in Sky (the “Sky Common Units”). As of March 31, 2024, SHG owned approximately
2. | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared in conformity with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requirements for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and consequently exclude certain disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).These Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which includes additional disclosures and a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies. In the Company’s opinion, these Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary by management to fairly state the Company’s results of operation, financial position, and cash flows.
Certain historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include assumptions used within impairment analyses, estimated useful lives of depreciable assets and amortizable costs, estimates of inputs utilized in determining the fair value of financial instruments such as warrants, estimates and assumptions related to right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, and estimates and assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations have been limited to-date. For most of its history, the Company has been engaged in securing access to land through ground leases and developing and constructing aviation hangars. The major risks faced by the Company is its future ability to obtain additional tenants for the facilities that it constructs, and to contract with such tenants for rental income in an amount that is sufficient to meet the Company’s financial obligations, including increasing construction costs due to inflation and increased borrowing costs to the extent that the Company incurs additional indebtedness.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As a result of ongoing construction projects and business development activities, including the development of aircraft hangars and the leasing of available hangar space, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. The Company expects to continue to invest in such activities and generate operating losses in the near future.
The Company obtained long-term financing through bond and equity offerings to fund its construction, lease, and operational commitments, and believes its liquidity is sufficient to allow continued operations for more than one year after the date these financial statements are issued.
Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
SHG is deemed to have a controlling interest of Sky through its appointment as the Managing Member of Sky, in which SHG has control over the affairs and decision-making of Sky. The interests in Sky not owned by the Company are presented as non-controlling interests. Sky’s ownership percentage in each of its consolidated subsidiaries is
Cost of Construction
Cost of construction on the consolidated balance sheets is carried at cost. The cost of acquiring an asset includes the costs necessary to bring a capital project to the condition necessary for its intended use. Costs are capitalized once the construction of a specific capital project is probable. Construction labor and other direct costs of construction are capitalized. Professional fees for engineering, procurement, consulting, and other soft costs that are directly identifiable with the project and are considered an incremental direct cost are capitalized. Activities associated with internally manufactured hangar buildings, including materials, direct manufacturing labor, and manufacturing overhead directly identifiable with such activities are allocated to our construction projects and capitalized. The Company allocates a portion of its internal salaries to both capitalized cost of construction and to general and administrative expense based on the percentage of time certain employees worked in the related areas. Interest, net of the amortization of debt issuance costs and premiums, and net of interest income earned on bond proceeds, is also capitalized until the capital project is completed.
Once a capital project is complete, the Company begins to depreciate the constructed asset on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the life of the asset or the remaining term of the related ground lease, including expected renewal terms.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases. The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease at the inception of the contract. ASC Topic 842 requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets for all operating leases with terms of more than 12 months on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has made an accounting policy election to not recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and will result in recognizing those lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. When management determines that it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise its options to renew the leases, the renewal terms are included in the lease term and the resulting ROU asset and lease liability balances.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components; the Company has elected the accounting policy to not separate lease and non-lease components for all underlying asset classes. The Company has not elected to capitalize any interest cost that is implicit within its operating leases into cost of construction on the consolidated balance sheet, but instead, expenses its ground lease cost as a component of operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Warrants liability
The Company accounts for its Warrants (as defined in Note 10 — Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), under which warrants that do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities carried at their fair value and adjusts the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
Revenue recognition
The Company leases the hangar facilities that it constructs to third parties. The lease agreements are either on a month-to-month basis or have a defined term and may have options to extend the term. Some of the leases contain options to terminate the lease by either party with given notice. There are no options given to the lessee to purchase the underlying assets. Rental revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases (see Note 8 — Leases) and includes fixed payments of cash rents, which represents revenue each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental revenue and the corresponding rent and other receivables are recorded net of any concessions and uncollectible tenant receivables for all periods presented. The Company evaluates the collectability of tenant receivables for payments required under the lease agreements. If the Company determines that collectability is not probable, the Company recognizes any difference between revenue amounts recognized to date under ASC 842 and payments that have been collected from the lessee, including any additional rent or lease termination fees, as a current period adjustment to rental revenue.
Variable lease payments consist of tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance, utilities, and operating expenses of the property, and various other fees, including fees associated with the delivery of aircraft fuel, late fees, and lease termination fees. Variable lease payments are charged based on the terms and conditions included in the respective tenant leases and are recognized in the same period as the expenses are incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, rental revenue includes $
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the deferred rent receivable included in prepaid expenses and other assets was $
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company derived approximately
Income Taxes
SHG is classified as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes and is subject to U.S. Federal and state income taxes. SHG includes in income, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, its allocable portion of income from the “pass-through” entities in which it holds an interest, including Sky. The “pass-through” entities, are not subject to U.S. Federal and certain state income taxes at the entity level, and instead, the tax liabilities with respect to taxable income are passed through to the members, including SHG. As a result, prior to the Yellowstone Transaction, Sky was not subject to U.S. Federal and certain state income taxes at the entity level.
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences associated with the differences between the financial accounting and tax basis of the assets and liabilities as well as the ultimate realization of any deferred tax asset resulting from such differences, as well as from net operating losses and other tax-basis carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. When a valuation allowance is increased or decreased, a corresponding tax expense or benefit is recorded.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $

The disclosure requirements included in ASU No. 2023-07 are required for all public entities, including entities with a single reportable segment. ASU No. 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance is required to be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
Income Taxes (Topic 740)
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that are subject to Topic 740, Income Taxes. The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this updated standard on its disclosures to the consolidated financial statements.
3. | Rapidbuilt Acquisition |
On May 12, 2023 (the “Option Exercise Date”), Sky exercised its option to acquire a
Rapidbuilt is a manufacturer of pre-engineered steel buildings that previously entered into a supplier arrangement with Sky. Rapidbuilt and Sky’s strategic partnership has resulted in a standard set of proprietary prototype hangar designs, which are intended to deliver high-quality business aviation facilities, lower construction costs, minimize development risk, expedite permit issuance, and facilitate the implementation of refinements across Sky’s portfolio. The Company had pre-existing relationships with Rapidbuilt through a vendor agreement entered into in July 2022 to acquire construction materials related to the Company's development projects (the “Rapidbuilt Vendor Agreement”) and a revolving line of credit loan and security agreement (the “Rapidbuilt Loan Agreement”) to fund the working capital requirement of Rapidbuilt. These pre-existing relationships were effectively settled in the acquisition and the net receivable balance of $
The total cash purchase consideration was nominal. The Company accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the total purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on respective estimated fair values. The estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assume liabilities are based on preliminary calculations and subject to further refinement and may require adjustments to arrive at the final purchase price accounting. The Company expects the final purchase price allocation to be completed in a period of time that will not exceed one year from the Option Exercise Date. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes from the preliminary purchase price allocation.
The following tables summarize the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the Rapidbuilt Acquisition:

Following the Rapidbuilt Acquisition, substantially all of Overflow and Rapidbuilt's activities relate to the manufacturing of pre-engineering hangar structures for Sky's hangar development projects. As such, the pro-forma effect of this acquisition on revenues and earnings was not material.
4. | Investments and Restricted Investments |
Investments of the Company's cash in various U.S. Treasury securities have been classified as available-for-sale and are carried at estimated fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs as determined based upon quoted market prices.
Pursuant to provisions within the Master Indenture of the Series 2021 Bonds, as defined in Note 9 — Bonds payable, loans payable, and interest, the Company invests the funds held in the restricted trust bank accounts in various U.S. Treasury securities. Therefore, such investments are reported as “Restricted investments” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized losses on certain of the Company's investments and restricted investments are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates. The Company does not believe the unrealized losses represent impairments because the unrealized losses are due to general market factors. The Company has not recognized an allowance for expected credit losses related to its investments or restricted investments as the Company has not identified any unrealized losses attributable to credit factors during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The held-to-maturity restricted investments are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at amortized cost. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has the ability and intent to hold these restricted investments until maturity, and as a result, the Company would not expect the value of these investments to decline significantly due to a sudden change in market interest rates. The fair value of the Company’s restricted investments is estimated utilizing Level 1 inputs including prices for U.S. Treasury securities with comparable maturities on active markets.
The following tables are summaries of the amortized cost, unrealized gains, unrealized losses, and fair value by investment type as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

The Company’s ground leases at airports are classified as operating leases under ASC Topic 842. Management has determined that it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise its options to renew the leases, and therefore the renewal options are included in the lease term and the resulting ROU asset and operating lease liability balances. As the Company’s lease agreements do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, nor is the rate available to the Company from its lessors, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. In addition to the Company’s ground leases, the company has operating leases for office space and ground support vehicles, and finance leases for vehicles supporting operations at Rapidbuilt.
The Company’s lease population does not include any residual value guarantees. The Company has operating leases that contain variable payments, most commonly in the form of common area maintenance and operating expense charges, which are based on actual costs incurred. These variable payments were excluded from the calculation of the ROU asset and operating lease liability balances since they are not fixed or in-substance fixed payments. These variable payments were not material in amount for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Some of the leases contain covenants that require the Company to construct the hangar facilities on the leased grounds within a certain period and spend a set minimum dollar amount. For one of the leases, the shortfall (if any) must be paid to the lessor. See Note 15 — Commitments and Contingencies.
The Company’s ground leases have remaining terms ranging between

Lessor
The Company leases the hangar facilities that it constructs to third-party tenants. These leases have been classified as operating leases. The Company does not have any leases classified as sales-type or direct financing leases. Lease agreements with tenants are either on a month-to-month basis or have a defined term with an option to extend the term. The defined term leases vary in length from
to years with options to renew for additional term(s) given to the lessee. There are no options given to the lessee to purchase the underlying assets.
The leases may contain variable fees, most commonly in the form of tenant reimbursements, which are recoveries of the common area maintenance and operating expenses of the property and are recognized as income in the same period as the expenses are incurred. The leases did not have any initial direct costs. The leases do not contain any restrictions or covenants to incur additional financial obligations by the lessee.
Tenant leases to which the Company is the lessor require the following non-cancelable future minimum lease payments from tenants as of March 31, 2024:

Bonds payable
On May 20, 2021, Sky formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Sky Harbour Capital LLC (“SHC”), as a parent corporation to its wholly-owned subsidiaries that operate each of the aircraft hangar development sites under its ground leases. SHC and these subsidiaries form an Obligated Group (the “Obligated Group” or the “Borrowers”) under a series of bonds that were issued in September 2021 with a principal amount of $
The Series 2021 Bonds are payable pursuant to a loan agreement dated September 1, 2021 between the Public Finance Authority (of Wisconsin) and the Borrowers. The payments by the Borrowers under the loan agreement are secured by a Senior Master Indenture Promissory Note, Series 2021-1 issued by the Obligated Group under an indenture (the “Master Indenture”). The obligations of the Borrowers are collateralized by certain leasehold and subleasehold deeds of trust or mortgages on the Borrowers’ interests in the development sites and facilities being constructed at each airport where the Borrowers hold ground leases. In addition, the Borrowers have assigned, pledged and granted a first priority security interest in all funds held under the Master Indenture and all right, title and interest in the gross revenues of the Borrowers. Furthermore, Sky, Sky Harbour Holdings LLC and SHC have each pledged as collateral its respective ownership interest in any of the Borrowers.
The Series 2021 Bonds have principal amounts, interest rates, and maturity dates as follow: $
On March 22, 2023, SHC elected to modify the scope of the Series 2021 Bonds pursuant to the terms of the Master Indenture, in order to reallocate a portion of the proceeds of the Series 2021 Bonds to its project site located at ADS (the “ADS Project”) . In connection with the election to modify the scope of the Series 2021 PABs to include the ADS Project, (i) Addison Hangars LLC (“Sky Harbour Addison”) and OPF Hangars Landlord LLC (“OPF Hangars”) joined as members of the Obligated Group, (ii) Sky Harbour Holdings LLC contributed its membership interest in OPF Hangars to SHC, (iii) SHC pledged its equity interest in each of Sky Harbour Addison and OPF Hangars to the Master Trustee as security for the obligations under the Series 2021 Bonds, (iv) Sky Harbour Addison granted to the Master Trustee a mortgage on its leasehold interest in the real property comprising the ADS Project, (v) OPF Hangars granted the Master Trustee a mortgage on its leasehold interest in the real estate comprising the project located in Opa Locka, Florida, and (vi) Sky Harbour Services LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has agreed to waive all management fees and development fees during the construction period of the projects associated with the Series 2021 Bonds.

Earnings (loss) per Share |
Basic earnings (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to SHG by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to SHG, adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive shares using the treasury stock or if-converted method as appropriate. Shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B Common Stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

Overview and Background
We are an aviation infrastructure development company building the first nationwide network of home basing hangar campuses for business aircraft. We develop, lease, and manage general aviation hangars across the United States, targeting airfields in markets with significant aircraft populations and high hangar demand. Our home basing hangar campuses feature exclusive private hangars and a full suite of dedicated services specifically optimized for home-based, versus transient, aircraft.
The physical footprint of the U.S. business aviation fleet grew by almost 28 million square feet in the ten years preceding the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, with hangar supply lagging dramatically, especially in key growth markets. As the fleet of private jets in the United States continues to grow, with recent new aircraft deliveries exceeding retirements, demand for hangar space is at a premium in part because new jets require more square footage of hangar space and the pace of new hangar construction has lagged behind the demand. The cumulative square footage of the business aircraft fleet in the United States increased 50% between 2010 and 2021. Moreover, over that same period, there was an 81% increase in the square footage of larger private jets – those with greater than a 24-foot tail height. A recent study conducted by a business aircraft manufacturer forecasted that business aircraft will only continue to grow in the next ten years, with up to 8,500 new business jet deliveries worth over $275 billion expected to be delivered between 2024 and 2033, further supported by data from the major business aviation manufacturers that suggest the current order backlog for new business aviation aircraft is over $49 billion.
These larger footprint aircraft do not fit in much of the existing hangar infrastructure and impose stacking challenges and constraints in the traditional shared or community hangars operated by FBOs. The addition of winglets (the vertical extensions on aircraft wingtips) on most modern business jets inhibits wing-over-wing storage. Aircraft hangars are in high demand and short supply, with some airports compiling waiting lists that can exceed several years.
We believe our scalable, real estate-centric business model is uniquely optimized to capture this market opportunity and address the increased imbalance between the supply and demand for private jet storage. We intend to capitalize on the existing hangar supply constraints at major U.S. airports by targeting high-end tenants in markets where there is a shortage of private and FBO hangar space, or where such hangars are or are becoming obsolete.
We expect to realize economies of scale in construction through a prototype hangar design replicated at our hangar campuses across the United States. This allows for centralized procurement, straightforward permitting processes, efficient development processes, and the best hangar in business aviation. Unlike a service company, our revenues are mostly derived from long-term rental agreements, offering stability and forward visibility of revenues and cash flows. This allows the Company to fund its development through the public bond market, providing capital efficiency and mitigating refinance risk.
We seek to develop our home basing hangar campuses on long-term ground leases (or sub-leases thereof) at airports with suitable infrastructure serving metropolitan centers across the United States. We lease each of our properties under long-term ground leases.

The SJC Lease covers approximately 7 acres of property that contains an approximately 38,000 square foot hangar, approximately 19,000 square feet of office space, and approximately 108,000 square feet of apron and ramp space. The property at SJC includes additional land on which we intend to develop approximately 28,000 square feet of additional hangar space. The initial term of the SJC Lease will be 20 years from May 1, 2024, and contains a mutual option to extend the SJC Lease an additional 5 years following the expiration of the initial term.
On March 27, 2024, we entered into the ORL Lease at ORL with GOAA. The ORL Lease covers a parcel containing approximately 20 acres of land at ORL. The initial term of the ORL Lease will be 30 years from expiration of the construction period, with lease payments commencing contemporaneously with the term. The ORL Lease contains options exercisable by us to extend the ORL Lease an additional 20 years based on our total expenditures in subsequent phases at ORL.
Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations
Revenues
Our revenues are derived from rents we earn pursuant to the lease agreements we enter into with our tenants. Our ability to expand through new ground leases and tenant leases at airports is integral to our long-term business strategy and requires that we identify and consummate suitable new ground leases or investment opportunities in real estate properties for our portfolio that meet our investment criteria and are compatible with our growth strategy. Our ability to enter into new ground leases and tenant leases on favorable terms, or at all, may be adversely affected by a number of factors. We believe that the business environment of the industry segments in which our tenants operate is generally positive for tenants. However, our existing and potential tenants are subject to economic, regulatory and market conditions that may affect their level of operations and demand for hangar space, which could impact our results of operations. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2023, a tenant renting two hangars at OPF made the determination that it was necessary to change its business plans in the greater Miami market, which ultimately resulted in the negotiated settlement of the tenant’s lease with us and their exit from our OPF hangar campus. Accordingly, we actively monitor certain key factors, including changes in those factors (fuel prices, new aircraft deliveries, hangar rental rates) that we believe may provide early indications of conditions that may affect the level of demand for new leases and our lease portfolio. See “—Risks Related to our Business and Operations” within the Form 10-K for more information about the risks related to our tenants and our lease payments.
Ground Lease Expense
One of our largest expenses is the lease payments under our ground leases. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, our operating lease expense for ground leases was $1.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively. As we enter into new ground leases at new airport sites, our payments to airport landlords will continue to increase into the future. If airport landlords increase the per acre cost of the ground lease of our target campuses, the operating margins at potential target developments may be impacted negatively.
Interest Expense
Economic conditions and actions by policymaking bodies are contributing to rising interest rates, which, along with increases in our borrowing levels, could increase our future borrowing costs. We expect to issue additional debt to finance future site developments and higher interest rates would impact our overall economic performance. In addition, we are subject to credit spreads demanded by fixed income investors. As a non-rated issuer, increases in general of credit spreads in the market, or for us, may result in a higher cost of borrowing in the future. We intend to access the bond market on an opportunistic basis. In addition, we may hedge against rising benchmark interest rates by entering into hedging strategies with high quality counterparties.
General and Administrative Expenses
The general and administrative expenses reflected in our statement of operations are reflective of the professional, legal and consulting fees, payroll costs, and other general and administrative expenses, including those necessary to support our business as a public company such as expenses associated with corporate governance, SEC reporting, and other compliance matters. While we expect that our general and administrative expenses will rise in some measure as our portfolio of campuses grows, we expect that such expenses as a percentage of our portfolio will decrease over time due to efficiencies, economies of scale, insourcing of job functions, and cost control measures.
Construction Material Costs and Labor
When constructing our home basing hangar campuses, we use various materials, assemblies, and labor components. We contract for our materials and labor with various general contractors under guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contracts upon receipt of building permits. This allows us to mitigate certain inflationary pressures associated with increases in certain building materials and labor costs between the time construction begins at a hangar campus and the time it is completed. Typically, the materials and most of the components used to construct our hangar campuses are readily available in the United States. We continue to monitor the supply markets and ensure robust competition to achieve the best prices available. Typically, the price changes that most significantly influence our operations are price increases in steel, concrete, and labor. We believe that recent inflationary pressures and market conditions will lead to continued increases in construction costs and market rental rates for hangars within our development projects. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to increase the lease rates for the hangars within our hangar campuses to absorb these increased costs and/or delays, if at all.
In May 2023, we acquired a controlling interest in Rapidbuilt, a metal building and hangar door manufacturer, that we expect will ultimately result in an increase in quality and a reduction in the overall cost of the metal building and hangar door components at future development projects. We expect that over time this vertical integration will enable us to deliver metal buildings to most of our development sites in shorter times as compared to the anticipated lead times associated with conventional metal building fabricators. We believe internal building fabrication will provide us opportunities to aggressively target continued schedule compression at most of our development projects in the future. In December 2023, we engaged several structural engineering firms to perform an independent peer review of the hangar buildings designed for our DVT Phase I and APA Phase I development projects. The independent peer reviews determined a significant design defect existed within our prototype hangar building designs that requires retrofitting to both meet and exceed our standards and the respective local building codes. The anticipated retrofitting efforts are also expected to be applied to ADS Phase I, and we project that the aggregate additional cost of such retrofits could total between $26 to $28 million and require an additional three to five months of construction duration for each project impacted. Given the planned design enhancements at our APA Phase I, DVT Phase I, and ADS Phase I development projects, we anticipate that our total construction costs for these projects to each be greater than our original estimates, and outside of the scope of the guaranteed maximum price construction contracts. In March 2024, we funded the increase in estimated costs by contributing $27 million of our corporate cash holdings to SHC, thereby restricting the use of such cash to the project scope of the Series 2021 Bonds.
Our projections associated with the commencement and completion of construction, estimated total construction cost, hangars, and rentable square footage of our properties in development are inherently subjective and require judgement to estimate. We believe that our estimates of construction costs and timelines are subject to variability based on various factors including, but not limited to, changes in anticipated site plans, hangar mix, hangar specifications, executed guaranteed maximum price construction contracts, and general market conditions. In May 2024, we updated many of our preliminary estimates based on our intention to begin incorporating a larger hangar prototype into our home basing hangar campuses, which is intended to provide an increase in rentable square footage of hangar, office, and lounge space upon completion. This larger hangar prototype requires an increase in construction materials and components, and we expect its incorporation into multiple future development projects will ultimately result in cost savings through the realization of economies of scale. Our updated estimates of total construction costs do not include projections of potential cost reductions due to such efficiencies. We intend to continue to aggressively mitigate inflationary pressures, reduce construction costs to the greatest extent possible, and pursue compressed development schedules. We currently structure our guaranteed maximum price construction contracts with shared savings clauses to incentivize the general contractors to reduce construction costs. No assurance can be given that our cost mitigation strategies will be successful, the costs of our ongoing and future projects will not exceed budgets or the guaranteed maximum price for such projects, or that the completion will not be delayed beyond the projected completion dates.
Current Capital Requirements and Future Expenditures for Expansion
We previously funded SHC with over $200 million to fund the two phases at our initial five ground leased airport locations. We maintain the ability to include up to $50 million in new projects outside the original five locations to be funded with a portion of the existing proceeds held by the trustee as long as certain approvals and supplemental consultant reports are provided showing that such new project would result in better coverage of debt service than previously contemplated projects. We exercised this ability utilizing approximately $26 million of the $50 million available and received the requisite approvals and reports in March 2023 with respect to our ADS Phase I development project.
We previously raised equity capital, along with potential future debt and further equity issuances, including the Private Placement Purchase Agreement entered into on November 1, 2023, see Liquidity and Capital Resources — Private Placement and Securities Purchase Agreement below, to begin to fund additional airport campuses and reach up to 20 airport campuses over the next several years. We also have the ability to access the capital markets through our ATM Facility and through our effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3. On average, each future campus is anticipated to be composed of at least 100,000 rentable square feet and is expected to cost approximately $55 million per campus, with 60% or more to be funded with additional private activity bonds or other indebtedness. All future hangar campus projects are discretionary and require us to identify the appropriate airports with the target hangar demand economics, secure required ground leases and permits, and complete future construction at such sites.
The cumulative 20 airport site business plan is estimated to cost approximately $1.2 billion, with approximately 65% to 75% anticipated from long-term private activity bonds and the balance with equity or equity linked financing. Our ability to raise additional equity and/or debt financing will be subject to a number of risks, including our ability to obtain financing upon reasonable terms, if at all, costs of construction, delays in constructing new facilities, operating results, and other risk factors. In the event that we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to raise additional equity capital, creating additional dilution to existing stockholders. There can be no assurance that we would be successful in raising such additional equity capital on favorable terms, if at all. Even if we can obtain such additional equity financing if needed, there can be no assurance that we would be successful in raising such additional financing on favorable terms, if at all.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include assumptions used within impairment analyses, estimated useful lives of depreciable assets and amortizable costs, estimates of inputs utilized in determining the fair value of financial instruments such as warrants, estimates and assumptions related to right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, and estimates and assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Cost of Construction
Cost of construction on the consolidated balance sheets is carried at cost. The cost of acquiring an asset includes the costs necessary to bring a capital project to the condition necessary for its intended use. Costs are capitalized once the construction of a specific capital project is probable. Construction labor and other direct costs of construction are capitalized. Professional fees for engineering, procurement, consulting, and other soft costs that are directly identifiable with the project and are considered an incremental direct cost are capitalized. We allocate a portion of our internal salaries to both capitalized cost of construction and to general and administrative expense based on the percentage of time certain employees worked in the related areas. Interest costs on the loans and bonds used to fund the capital projects are also capitalized until the capital project is completed. Once a capital project is complete, the cost of the capital project is reclassified to Constructed Assets on the accompanying balance sheet and we begin to depreciate the constructed asset on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the life of the asset or the remaining term of the related ground lease, including expected renewal terms.
Leases
We account for leases under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases. We determine whether a contract contains a lease at the inception of the contract. ASC Topic 842 requires lessees to recognize operating lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets for all leases with terms of more than 12 months on the consolidated balance sheets. We have made an accounting policy election that will keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off our consolidated balance sheets and will result in recognizing those lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. When management determines that it is reasonably certain that we will exercise our options to renew the leases, the renewal terms are included in the lease term and the resulting ROU asset and operating lease liability balances. We have elected to not capitalize any interest cost that is implicit within our operating leases into cost of construction on the consolidated balance sheet, but instead, we expense our ground lease cost in the consolidated statements of operations.
We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components; we have elected the accounting policy to not separate lease and non-lease components for all underlying asset classes.
Revenue Recognition
We lease hangar facilities that we construct to third parties. The lease agreements are either on a month-to-month basis or have a defined term and may have options to extend the term. Some of the leases contain options to terminate the lease by either party with given notice. There are no options given to the lessee to purchase the underlying assets. Rental revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases, and includes (i) fixed payments of cash rents, which represents revenue each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and (ii) variable payments of tenant reimbursements, which are recoveries of all or a portion of the common area maintenance and operating expenses of the property and are recognized in the same period as the expenses are incurred.
The Company evaluates the collectability of tenant receivables for payments required under the lease agreements. If the Company determines that collectability is not probable, the Company recognizes any difference between revenue amounts recognized to date under ASC 842 and payments that have been collected from the lessee, including any additional rent or lease termination fees, as a current period adjustment to rental revenue.

Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were approximately $2.4 million, compared to approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The $1.3 million, or 117%, increase was primarily the result of the cumulative impact of certain additional tenant leases in place at our BNA and OPF hangar campuses as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in occupancy at our OPF and BNA hangar campuses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2023 resulted in increased fixed rental revenues of approximately $1.1 million. Revenue associated with our delivery of aircraft fuel increased approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased approximately $0.3 million, or 16%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in operated expense is primarily reflective of increased ground lease expense, which increased approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in ground lease expense was driven by new ground leases signed at PWK, BDL, and POU during the three months ended December 31, 2023, and at SJC and ORL during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Salaries, wages, and benefits associated with our campus personnel increased by approximately $0.1 million, primarily driven by a headcount increase associated with the anticipated commencement of operations at our SJC hangar campus. Other operating expenses decreased by approximately $0.1 million, primarily driven by decreased utility expenses associated with operations at our OPF and BNA hangar campuses due to higher occupancy levels.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation increased approximately $0.2 million, or 40%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase reflects a full quarter of depreciation associated with our OPF hangar campus, which opened during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was also partially driven by the placement of additional ground support equipment into service throughout 2023 and 2024 and a quarter of depreciation related to Rapidbuilt, which was acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, general and administrative expenses were approximately $4.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The approximately $1.4 million, or 38%, increase was primarily due to an approximately $1.3 million increase in salaries, wages, and other benefits, driven by an increase in corporate headcount and expense recognized associated with our equity compensation programs. Headcount and compensation expenses increased approximately $0.7 million, non-cash equity compensation expense increased approximately $0.6 million, and professional fees increased approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase in professional fees was partially attributable to the recognition of approximately $0.1 million of expense associated with the B. Riley Termination.
Other (Income) Expense
Other expense increased from approximately $4.1 million to approximately $16.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase was primarily due to an approximately $12.0 million difference in the mark-to-market adjustment of the outstanding warrants at March 31, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund the construction of new assets, fund working capital and other general business needs. Our primary sources of cash include the potential issuance of equity and debt securities and rental payments from tenants. Our long-term liquidity requirements include lease payments under our ground leases with airport authorities, repaying principal and interest on outstanding borrowings, funding the construction costs of our hangar campus development projects (see “— Construction Material Costs and Labor”), funding for operations, and paying accrued expenses.
We believe that we have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of additional private activity bonds and other debt and the issuance of additional equity securities. We also have the ability to utilize our $100 ATM Facility or otherwise utilize our registration statement on Form S-3 to access the capital markets. However, as we have recently become a publicly-traded company, we cannot assure you that we will have access to these sources of capital or that, even if such sources of capital are available, that these sources of capital will be available on favorable terms. Our ability to incur additional debt will depend on multiple factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that are or may be imposed by future lenders. Our ability to access the equity and debt capital markets will depend on multiple factors as well, including general market conditions for real estate companies, our degree of leverage, the trading price of our common stock and debt and market perceptions about our Company.
Our cash deposits may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and the majority are maintained with a major financial institution with reputable credit. Our restricted cash is held in trust at a major financial institution pursuant to the Series 2021 Bonds indenture. We monitor the relative credit standing of financial institutions with whom we transact and limit the amount of credit exposure with any one entity. Our portfolio of investments and restricted investments is composed entirely of U.S. Treasury securities as of March 31, 2024.

Private Placement and Securities Purchase Agreement
On November 1, 2023, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Private Placement Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which we (i) sold and issued to the Investors on November 2, 2023 an aggregate of 6,586,154 shares (the “Initial PIPE Shares”) of our Class A Common Stock and accompanying warrants to purchase up to 1,141,600 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Initial PIPE Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $42.8 million (the “Initial Financing”), and (ii) sold and issued to the Investors on November 29, 2023 an aggregate of 2,307,692 shares of our Class A Common Stock (the “Additional PIPE Shares” and, together with the Initial PIPE Shares, the “PIPE Shares”) and accompanying warrants to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Additional PIPE Warrants” and, together with the Initial PIPE Warrants, the “PIPE Warrants”) for an aggregate purchase price of $15.0 million. Together with the Initial Financing, the aggregate PIPE financing through the Private Placement Purchase Agreement totaled approximately $57.8 million.
At-the-Market Facility
On March 27, 2024, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B. Riley”) with respect to an “at the market” offering program (the “ATM Facility”), under which we may, from time to time, at our sole discretion, issue and sell through B. Riley, acting as sales agent, up to $100 million of shares of Class A Common Stock. Pursuant to the ATM Agreement, we may sell the shares through B. Riley by any method permitted that is deemed an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. B. Riley will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell the shares from time to time, based upon instructions from us, including any price or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions we may impose. We will pay B. Riley a commission of 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold under the ATM Agreement.
We are not obligated to sell any shares under the ATM Agreement. The offering of shares pursuant to the ATM Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the issuance and sale, through B. Riley, of all of the shares subject to the ATM Agreement and (ii) termination of the ATM Agreement in accordance with its terms. We have made no sales under the ATM Facility to date and will only do so when our stock price is at prices our board of directors deems appropriate.
Private Activity Bonds
On September 14, 2021, SHC completed an issuance through the Public Finance Authority (Wisconsin) of $166.3 million of Senior Special Facility Revenue Bonds (Aviation Facilities Project), Series 2021 (the “PABs”). The PABs are comprised of three maturities: $21.1 million bearing interest at 4.00%, due July 1, 2036; $30.4 million bearing interest at 4.00%, due July 1, 2041; and $114.8 million bearing interest at 4.25%, due July 1, 2054. The Series 2021 Bond that has a maturity date of July 1, 2036 was issued at a premium, and Sky received bond proceeds that were $0.2 million above its face value. The net proceeds from the issuance of the PABs proceeds are being used to (a) finance or refinance the construction of various aviation facilities consisting of general aviation aircraft hangars and storage facilities located and to be located on the SGR site, the OPF site, the BNA site, the APA site, and the DVT site; (b) fund debt service and other operating expenses such as ground lease expense during the initial construction period; (c) fund deposits to the Debt Service Reserve Fund; and (d) pay certain costs of issuance related to the PABs.
Debt Covenants
The PABs contain financial and non-financial covenants, including a debt service coverage ratio, a restricted payments test and limitations on the sale, lease, or distribution of assets. To the extent that SHC does not comply with these covenants, an event of default or cross-default may occur under one or more agreements, and we or our subsidiaries may be restricted in our ability to pay dividends, issue new debt or access our leased facilities. The PABs are collateralized on a joint and several basis with the property and revenues of all SHC subsidiaries and their assets financed or to be financed from the proceeds of the PABs.
Covenants in the PABs require SHC to maintain a debt service coverage ratio (as defined in the relevant documents) of at least 1.25 for each applicable test period, commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2024. The PABs are subject to a Continuing Disclosure Agreement whereby SHC is obligated to provide electronic copies of (i) monthly construction reports, (ii) quarterly reports containing quarterly financial information of SHC and (iii) annual reports containing audited consolidated financial statements of SHC to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to cash used in operating activities of approximately $4.6 million for the same period in 2023. The $0.1 million decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to an approximately $0.6 million decrease in net loss, net of non-cash adjustments. The decrease in net loss, net of non-cash adjustments was primarily driven by an increase in rental revenue. The decrease was offset by an approximately $0.5 million unfavorable change in the Company's working capital position, which was primarily driven by the timing of vendor payments and tenant receipts.
Investing Activities
Our primary investing activities have consisted of payments related to the cost of construction at our various hangar campus development projects and investment in U.S. Treasury Securities. As our business expands, we expect to continue to invest in our current and anticipated future portfolio of hangar campus development projects.
Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $33.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to cash provided by investing activities of approximately $36.3 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease of approximately $2.4 million of cash provided by investing activities was driven primarily by an increase of approximately $95.8 million of available for sale U.S. Treasury purchases, offset by increases of approximately $64.3 million and $27.9 million in proceeds received from the Company's available for sale and held-to-maturity investments, respectively. The decrease was further driven by an approximately $0.1 million increase in capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
Our primary financing activities have consisted of capital raised to fund the growth of our business and proceeds from debt obligations incurred to finance our hangar campus development projects. We expect to raise additional equity capital and issue additional indebtedness as our business grows.
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $0 for the same period in 2023. The approximately $0.3 million increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by $1.5 million of proceeds received from the exercise of Warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2024, offset by approximately $0.7 million and $0.4 million of payments associated with vested equity awards and loan principal payments, respectively.

RENT, FEES AND CHARGES |
In addition to any other fees, general charges or other amounts set forth elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant shall pay when due the following fees and amounts for the privilege of occupying the Premises:
5.1 |
Rent and Revenue Share |
5.1.1 |
Rent |
a. |
Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Rent as set forth in Section 1. Rent shall be due and payable in advance in twelve equal monthly payments on the first (1st) day of every month in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5 herein and is subject to adjustment as required by Section 5.2. |
b. |
For the period between April 1, 2024 and the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay rent of $119,375. Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the first (1st) day of the month in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5 herein. |
c. |
Effective the first day of the month following receipt of Certificate of Occupancy for the Leasehold Improvements as stated in Exhibit G, Tenant’s Rent shall be the greater of $3,122,661 or the current year’s Adjusted Rent. The Rent shall at no time fall below the previous year’s Rent. Rent shall be due and payable in advance in twelve equal monthly payments on the first (1st) day of every month in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5 herein and is subject to adjustment annually as required by Section 5.2. |
5.1.2 |
Revenue Share |
Commencing upon the receipt Certificate of Occupancy for the Leasehold Improvements set forth in Exhibit G, Tenant shall pay the City a fifty percent (50%) revenue share for hangar rental rates within the Leasehold Premises that exceed fifty-three dollars ($53.00) per square foot (“Revenue Share Threshold”). For purposes of illustration, Tenant enters into a sublease for the hangar or a portion of the hangar at the rent of $76 per square foot, then the revenue share would be calculated as $11.50 per square foot (($76-53=23)/2=$11.50). Revenue Share shall be reported monthly in accordance with Section 5.5 and payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5. The Revenue Share Threshold shall increase in accordance with the Rent as set forth in Section 5.2.
5.2 |
Percentage Increase Adjustment |
5.2.1 |
Annual Adjustment to Rent and Revenue Share Threshold |
The Rent and Revenue Share Threshold shall be subject to adjustment (“Adjusted Rent”) on each anniversary of the Commencement Date ("Percentage Increase Adjustment Date and “Adjusted Revenue Share Threshold”) and thereafter by an amount equivalent to the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). The Adjusted Interim Base Rent will be calculated according to the following:
The Base Figure for computing the Adjusted Rent shall be the CPI for All Urban Consumers, All Items, for the San Francisco-Oakland– Hayward (1982-84 = 100), as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. S. Department of Labor for the month one year prior to the Percentage Increase Adjustment Date. In the event that the CPI is not published for the applicable month, the Base Figure shall be the next succeeding CPI published.
The Index Figure for computing the Adjusted Rent shall be the CPI for All Urban Consumers, All Items, for the San Francisco-Oakland- Hayward (1982-84 = 100), as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor as of the Percentage Increase Adjustment Date. In the event that the CPI is not published for the applicable month, the Index Figure shall be the next succeeding CPI published.
For each Percentage Increase Adjustment Date, if the Index Figure has increased over the Base Figure, the Adjusted Interim Base Rent payable shall be determined by calculating the percentage increase of the Index Figure over the Base Figure. For example, assuming the Base Figure is 110 and the Index Figure is 121, the percentage increase is 121/110 = 1.10 = 110%. That percentage shall be applied to the Rent last in effect to calculate the Adjusted Rent for the annual period beginning on the Percentage Increase Adjustment Date.
Regardless of any year-to-year or cumulative decrease in the CPI during the Term of this Lease, in no event shall any subsequent Adjusted Rent or Adjusted Revenue Share Threshold effective for any Percentage Increase Adjustment Date be less than the Rent or Revenue Share Threshold as of the immediately preceding Rent Date (or Percentage Increase Adjustment Date, as applicable);
In the event that (i) a year-to-year or cumulative decrease occurs in the CPI during the Term of this Lease; and (ii) the application of the formula above would result in an Adjusted Rent or Adjusted Revenue Share Threshold that is less than the Rent as or Revenue Share Threshold of the immediately preceding Rent Date (or Percentage Increase Adjustment Date, as applicable); then (iii) the then- current Interim Base Rent or Revenue Share Threshold shall remain in effect until the next Percentage Increase Adjustment Date.
Alternative Index: The index for the Percentage Increase Adjustment Date shall be the one reported in the U.S. Department of Labor’s most comprehensive official index then in use and most nearly answering the foregoing description of the index to be used. If it is calculated from a base different from the base period (1982-84=100) used for the base figure above, the base figure used for calculating the adjustment percentage shall first be converted under a formula supplied by the Bureau. If the above-described Department of Labor index is no longer published, another index generally recognized as authoritative shall be substituted by the Director at the Director’s sole discretion.
5.3 |
Security Deposit |
Tenant shall deposit and maintain with City upon execution of this Lease a security deposit in an amount, equal to three (3) months’ Rent and any years Adjusted Rent or any other amount as determined by the Director. The initial deposit shall be in the amount as specified in Section 1, against which the City may deduct any delinquent or unpaid fees, costs or charges (including but not limited to rent and badging fees and any late payment fees and the charges stated in this Lease) resulting from Tenant’s operations at the Airport, to ensure prompt payment of required rent, fees and charges. The Security Deposit shall be in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit or any other surety form as approved by the Director. The letter of credit shall be an irrevocable letter of credit, substantially in the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit F. The Director may adjust such deposit amount requirement from time to time upon a determination that the revised deposit satisfies the lease requirements and provides adequate protection to the City and the Airport.
All banking charges with respect to the letter of credit shall be at the sole expense of Tenant. No later than thirty (30) days after each Percentage Increase Adjustment date, Tenant shall increase the Security Deposit to equal six months of the then-applicable Adjusted Rent.
If the Director adjusts the amount of the Security Deposit or deducts any delinquent or unpaid rent, fees, costs or charges (including late payments) from the Security Deposit, Tenant shall promptly replenish the deposit to the full amount required by the Director, within thirty (30) days of a written demand by Director. Tenant’s failure to so replenish the Security Deposit shall constitute an Event of Default, which entitles the City to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 12 of this Lease. The City shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. Any amounts remaining from the Security Deposit (after deductions for delinquent or unpaid rent, fees, costs, or charges as specified above) at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (as it may be extended or renewed) shall be returned to Tenant, without interest, after a determination by the Director that all amounts owed to City under this Lease have either been paid in full or have been deducted from the Security Deposit.
5.4 |
Activity Fees |
If, at any time during the Term, Tenant should use the Premises, or any portion thereof, or (with permission of the Director) any other land or facilities of the Airport for any purpose, use or activity for which Persons using any land or facilities thereof are or shall then be required by City to pay Activity Fees, then in that event Tenant shall pay to City, in addition to the Rent and Revenue Share, charges or other fees for the privilege of using the Lease Premises or other Airport land or facilities for such purpose, such Activity Fees as may at such time be charged by City for the use of any Airport land or facilities for such other purpose, use or activity.

Construction of the Leasehold Improvements shall be subject to the provisions of this section and shall be at Tenant’s (or subtenant’s, as applicable) sole cost and expense, without any reimbursement from City whatsoever under any circumstance. Tenant will occupy the Premises in its ‘as is’ condition, and no Leasehold Improvements installed and paid for by Tenant (or subtenant, as applicable) will be subject to subsequent buyout by City under any circumstances. No part of the Leasehold Improvements shall be constructed, installed, expanded, modified or removed nor shall material modifications be made to the Leasehold Improvements without the prior written consent of the Director, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence or anything else in this Lease to the contrary, any construction, installation, expansion, modification or removal of interior tenant improvements or modifications that do not alter the square footage, exterior appearance, structural elements of a building or disruption of public utilities servicing the building shall not require the approval of the Director.
7.1.2 |
Minimum Capital Investment |
It is expressly agreed and understood that Tenant is leasing the Premises with the intention of developing and constructing the Leasehold Improvements on the Premises in accordance with Plans and Specifications as specified in this Section 7. It is expressly agreed and understood that the Leasehold Improvements to be constructed by Tenant shall, at a minimum, include those structures and improvements as described as Tenant’s initial Leasehold Improvements on EXHIBIT G attached hereto, and that Tenant shall expend no less than an amount equal to Eight Million One Hundred Sixteen Thousand Three Hundred Ninety Two Dollars ($8,116,392) (the “Minimum Capital Investment”) to develop such Leasehold Improvements at Tenant’s and/or its subtenant(s) sole cost and expense. As used herein, “Minimum Capital Investment” shall mean and include the following Leasehold Improvements costs and expenditures made by Tenant and/or its subtenant(s): (a) predevelopment costs (survey, title insurance, real estate broker fees, environmental assessment and remediation), planning and design fees, legal and accounting costs, permits, and soft construction costs, which combined shall not exceed 15% of the Minimum Capital Investment; and (b) hard construction costs (including demolition, excavation, grading and construction on the Premises and general contractor overhead and profit), which combined shall not be less than 85% of the Minimum Capital Investment. The Minimum Capital Improvement expenditure shall be expended on the approved Improvements constructed by Tenant. If the stated minimum is not expended, Tenant shall pay to City an amount equal to 150% of the difference, if any, between the Minimum Capital Improvement Expenditure and its actual investment upon the first day of the sixteen (16th) year of the Lease. Tenant shall only be responsible for Minimum Capital Improvements and the Minimum Capital Improvement Expenditure if Tenant receives all necessary approvals from all authorities having jurisdiction to construct the Leasehold Improvements and actually constructs the Leasehold Improvements.
7.1.3 |
Documentation of Minimum Capital Investment |
Within ninety (90) days after the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Leasehold Improvements, Tenant shall provide to the Director documentation, in such form and detail as the Director may reasonably require, sufficient to establish that Tenant and/or its subtenant(s) has expended the Minimum Capital Investment on the Leasehold Improvements. The Director may, in his discretion, extend the time for submitting said documentation by written notice to Tenant, and may require submittal of additional documentation. In the event that the Director determines that Tenant and/or its subtenant(s) have failed to either: (a) expend the total Minimum Capital Investment for the Leasehold Improvements; or (b) meet the required 85/15 percent allocation between hard construction costs and predevelopment costs for the Leasehold Improvements, the Director shall notify Tenant of any such deficiency promptly following Director’s receipt of the documentation supporting such costs from Tenant. If the Director notifies Tenant that there was a deficiency in the costs expended in the construction of the Leasehold Improvements, Tenant shall have through the 16th year from the Commencement Date to expend (and/or cause its subtenant(s) to expend) the amount of any such deficiency on additional improvements, additions, or betterments to the Leasehold Improvements, subject to all of the provisions of this Section 7. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of said sixteenth (16) year from the Commencement Date, provide further documentation to the Director sufficient to establish that Tenant and/or its subtenant(s) have expended the amount of any such deficiency on additional improvements, additions, or betterments to the Leasehold Improvements. If the Director determines, after such further documentation has been provided, that Tenant has failed to expend (and/or cause its subtenant(s) to expend) the Minimum Capital Investment on additional improvements, additions or betterments to the Leasehold Improvements, then the Director shall promptly provide written notice to Tenant of the amount of such continuing deficiency, and Tenant shall have thirty (30) days from the date of such notice to pay to City an amount equal to the difference between the Minimum Capital Investment and the actual sum expended. Payment of said sum as required herein shall be deemed to be additional Base Rent due and payable within said thirty (30) day period, and shall be subject to the payment provisions of Section 5 of this Lease.

7.2.6 |
Inspection/ “As Installed Plans” and Specifications |

The Airport will grant extension requests to such delays based on any NEPA, CEQA, or Airport Master Plan approvals that may be required to complete the improvements, specifically to the expansion of the hangar. For these purposes, completion of the initial Leasehold Improvements as shown in the Plans and Specifications shall mean the issuance by City of a Certificate of Occupancy for the initial Leasehold Improvements.

In the event that Tenant fails to perform any such replacements, alterations or repairs after notice and demand from City and the passage of such cure period, City may, in its sole discretion, thereafter cure such failure and cause such replacements, alterations, or repairs to be made or perform any other required action as shall bring the Leasehold Improvements into compliance with any applicable Laws. Tenant agrees to promptly reimburse City for such costs, plus ten percent (10%) thereof for administrative overhead as such percentage is approved and established from time to time by the City Council. In the event that after giving such notice to Tenant and the passage of such cure period City declines to cure such failure and cause the required replacements, alterations or repairs to be performed, City may, in its sole discretion, declare this Lease in default, terminate this Lease pursuant to the termination for default provisions in Section 12 of this Lease.

Tenant shall notify City at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Work to be performed or materials to be furnished on the Premises or the Airport which could give rise to any such lien, and City shall have the right to post and keep on the Premises of the Airport any notices that may be required by law or which City may deem proper for the protection of City, the Premises or the Airport from such liens.

If Tenant fails to remedy such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Director, such failure shall be considered an Event of Default hereunder, and, in addition to any remedy under Section12.2 hereof, City shall have the right, upon seven (7) days written notice to Tenant, to take over the management, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, of Tenant's construction of the Leasehold Improvements.
If after commencing any Work on the Leasehold Improvements, Tenant (without the Director’s prior written consent) ceases such Work for thirty (30) continuous days (other than cessation of Work due to a Force Majeure Event), such cessation of Work shall be an Event of Default hereunder, and, in addition to any remedy under Section 12.2 hereof, City shall have the right, upon seven (7) days written notice to the Tenant, to take over the management, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, of Tenant’s construction of the Leasehold Improvements.

The obligation of Tenant contained in the preceding sentence shall exist notwithstanding the fact that the general contractor or a subcontractor may have been paid for such work.

Existing Premises Construction and Improvement Guidelines |
7.12.1 |

Any improvements that alter the square footage, exterior appearance, structural elements of the Premises, disrupt public utilities servicing the Premises, or any such construction, installation, replacement, alteration or modification that would require the issuance of a building permit by the City, shall require the approval of the Director. Any internal improvements that are deemed cosmetic including but not limited to paint, furniture, trade fixtures and equipment which are and remain movable and unattached to the Premises shall not require the approval of the Director.

Tenant shall execute any documents which Director feels necessary to further evidence the transfer of title to improvements from Tenant to City, including a quitclaim deed and/or bill of sale.

ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES |
8.1 |
Tenant has carefully examined the Premises and is satisfied with the current condition, subject to any improvements to be constructed by Tenant in accordance with Section 7. Tenant acknowledges that no representation or warranty has been made by City concerning the nature, quality or suitability of the Premises or the Airport for Tenant’s business, or the existence of any Hazardous Materials in, on, upon, under or about the Premises or the airport, and Tenant acknowledges that it shall have no rights against City by reason of such matters or any claimed deficiencies therein.

8.2 |
Tenant acknowledges that City has made no representations or warranties with respect to the Premises, the Airport or this Lease except as expressly set forth in this Lease, and no rights, easements or licenses, implied or otherwise, are or shall be acquired by Tenant unless expressly set forth in this Lease. |

Tenant hereby waives, releases, premises, acquits and forever discharges City, its elected officials, employees, and agents, successors and assigns, of and from any and all suits, causes of action, legal or administrative proceedings, claims, demands, actual damages, punitive damages, losses, costs, liabilities, interest, attorneys’ fees and expenses of whatever kind and nature, in law or in equity, known or unknown, which Tenant shall or may have or acquire or possess in any way directly or indirectly connected with, based upon, or arising out of: (i) City’s use, maintenance, ownership and operation of the Premises prior to the Effective Date; or (ii) the condition, status, quality, nature, contamination or environmental state of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree and acknowledge that Tenant shall not be responsible to the City or any third-party for any conditions existing, or events occurring, or any Hazardous Materials existing or generated at, in, on or under or in connection with the Premises prior to the Effective Date of this Lease and nothing herein is intended to release the City for any claims by third parties for conditions that existed on the Premises prior to the Effective Date. It is the intention of this Lease that any and all responsibilities and obligations of City, and any and all rights or claims of Tenant against City, its successors and assigns and affiliated entities, arising by virtue of the physical or environmental condition of the Premises are by this release provision declared null and void and of no present or future effect as to such parties. Tenant agrees as to the matters released to waive the benefits of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which provides as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” |
8.4 |
The City agrees to reimburse Tenant for all reasonable costs and expenses to remediate the soil conditions (i) necessitated for the development of the hangar Leasehold Improvements as described in Section 7 and Exhibit G; and (ii) required by an authority having jurisdiction. By way of example, should soil be required to be removed from the site for the purposes of construction, and such soil is deemed contaminated, Tenant would be entitled to reimbursement from City for the incremental cost associated with hauling due to environmental remediation. Tenant assumes all other risk and costs related to the development of the Premises and Tenant represents that it has made sufficient investigation with regard to the construction of its Leasehold Improvements and any other matters relating to the Authorized Uses and the Premises to satisfy itself of all matters related thereto. No rights, easements, or licenses, implied or otherwise, are or shall be acquired by Tenant hereunder except as expressly set forth in this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that City has made no representation or warranty regarding the existence of any Hazardous Materials in, on, upon, under or about the Premises or the Airport. |

UTILITY SERVICES |
9.1 |
Tenant has inspected and accepts the utility hookups in the Premises. Unless and except to the extent otherwise specifically provided by other provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall secure any electrical, gas, water, sewer and telephone services to the Premises utilized by the Tenant as it may require, upon prior approval of Director which shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld. Any additional utility connections beyond those in the Premises at the time of Tenant’s inspection are Tenant’s responsibility. Installation of such additional utility connections shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and are subject to the provisions of Section 7 regarding Tenant improvements. Any utilities provided by City shall be paid by Tenant on a pro-rated basis as established by City. The location, relocation and coordination of all utilities and telephone facilities to service the Premises shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Director. Tenant shall, upon request by the Director, cap off all utility connections installed by Tenant and restore the affected areas to their original condition upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the pro-rata payment provisions of this paragraph shall not apply in the event Tenant directly pays utility providers for utility services. |
9.2 |
Tenant agrees that it shall take reasonable steps and any such other action which it deems necessary to protect Tenant's personal property from any damage that may be caused to such property in the event of any deficiency, impairment and/or interruption of utility services. As more fully set forth in Section 14, Tenant waives any and all claims and/or causes of action against City for any such damages. |
10 |
SECURITY MEASURES |
10.1 |
Tenant agrees to abide by all provisions of the Airport's Security Plan (including all amendments or revisions to the Security Plan during the term of this Lease) approved by the FAA and/or the TSA, and agrees to institute and carry out all security measures as provided in said plan. Any requirements that the Tenant must abide by will be provided to Tenant as needed. Any violations of the security plan which result in fines to City by the FAA and/or TSA, and which are caused by Tenant, its officers, agents or employees or invitees, will be assessed to Tenant by City and will be deemed to be additional rental fees payable by Tenant to City following invoice thereof by City to Tenant pursuant to Section 5 of this Lease. Additionally, Tenant in recognition of the nature of the Premises and the damage that could occur as a result of vandalism on the Premises, shall institute a plan, approved by Director, to deter vandals and to limit access to the Premises to authorized persons. |
10.2 |
Tenant shall be solely responsible for instituting and carrying out specific security measures required by the Airport's Security Plan in the areas where it is authorized to operate to prevent vandalism or damage to persons or property. City shall be responsible only for providing general security throughout the Airport; however, City shall provide no security at the Premises and shall not be liable for any vandalism or damage to persons or property that may occur in the areas of Tenant's operation. |
10.3 |
Tenant understands and acknowledges that City reserves the right to implement or change security measures that may limit public access to the Airport. In such event, Tenant waives all rights against City for such limitation, and City shall not be liable to Tenant for any amount, including compensation, in the form of reduction of any rent or fees. |
10.4 |
Tenant shall enter into a Security Plan if required by TSA and/or the Airport. |
10.5 |
Tenant must determine whether to use its own external security system to access the AOA (Airport Operations Area) or integrate with the Airport’s security system on internal doors. All exterior doors with access to the airfield must be able to integrate with the Airport’s security system. All exterior security systems require Airport and TSA review and approval before activation or change to the Security Plan at any time during the term of the Lease. |
11 |
ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFERS |
11.1 |
Consent |
Except as provided in this Section 11, Tenant shall not assign, sublease (other than those subleases entered into in the ordinary course of its business), convey, sell, pledge, hypothecate, encumber by deed of trust, mortgage, or other instrument, or otherwise transfer this Lease, the Premises or any part thereof, or any rights of Tenant hereunder, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of City, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. A transfer within the meaning of this Section shall include, but is not limited to, the following: (i) the incorporation of an individual Tenant and the transfer of Tenant's rights hereunder to the corporation which is not wholly owned by Tenant; (ii) in the event that Tenant is a partnership, incorporation of Tenant and transfer of Tenant's rights hereunder to the corporation, or the withdrawal or addition of any partner to Tenant's partnership; (iii) in the event that Tenant consists of co-tenants, the incorporation of Tenant and transfer of its rights hereunder to the corporation, or the voluntary or involuntary transfer by any one or more co- tenants of his, her or its rights hereunder to his, her or its co-tenant or to a third person; (iv) in the event that Tenant is a corporation, the change in the ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the capital stock of Tenant; and (v) in the event that Tenant is an unincorporated association, the incorporation of Tenant and the transfer of its rights hereunder to the corporation, or the change in fifty percent (50%) or more of the membership of the association.
11.2 |
Factors for City to Consider |
In determining whether to consent to such a transfer, City may consider, without limitation: (i) the financial condition and responsibility of the proposed transferee; (ii) the type of activity proposed to be conducted by such transferee at the Airport; (iii) the capabilities and expertise of the proposed transferee to manage and operate the proposed activity; (iv) the past service record of the proposed transferee, (v) references of the proposed transferee; and (vi) any cost to City associated with such proposed transfer.
Reasonable grounds for denying consent shall include any of the following: (i) the proposed transferee’s intended use of the Premises is not for an aviation-related purpose or will materially and adversely affect the City’s interests at the Airport; (ii) the proposed transferee’s financial condition is or may be inadequate to support its obligations under the Lease; (iii) the proposed transferee has failed to meet any legal or contractual obligations to the City or is adverse to the City in any pending litigation; (iv) the proposed use of the Premises is not consistent with the with the Authorized Activities contemplated herein; or (v) the proposed Transferee has failed to meet the minimum qualifications set forth in City’s RFP SJC232431.
In addition, City's consent to any proposed transfer under this Lease may be conditioned upon, among other things, the express written assumption by the proposed transferee of Tenant's obligations under this Lease and/or performance of required or necessary repairs or maintenance to the Premises.
11.3 |
Processing Fee |
City may require payment by Tenant of any processing fee established by City pursuant to a resolution or ordinance for reviewing the proposed transfer and preparing any documents in connection therewith. Tenant's failure to provide City with full, complete and necessary information, or to pay the processing fee, shall be sufficient cause for City to deny consent to, or to refuse to review, the proposed transfer.
11.4 |
Consent Does not Constitute Waiver |
The consent of City to any transfer described in this Section shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to obtain the further consent of City for any subsequent transfer. Any attempt to transfer without the consent of City shall be void, and shall constitute an Event of Default.
11.5 |
Assignment to Affiliate |
Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease, or sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, without the consent of the City, to any entity which is a parent or subsidiary of Tenant (“Affiliate”). Tenant shall give the City written notice of such assignment of this Lease to an Affiliate within thirty (30) days of the assignment or sublease.
11.6 |
Subleasing |
City acknowledges and consents to the Tenant’s subletting of the Premises or a portion of the Premises for the purpose of renting hangars for aircraft storage (including ancillary office space and maintenance space), provided that each sublease is in writing and is subordinate to the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall provide copies of all subleases. Any such sublease shall not be subject to processing fees by the City.
11.7 |
Mortgage of Leasehold Estate |
(a) |
With the prior consent of the City, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant may convey, pledge or encumber, by deed of trust, mortgage or similar instrument (the “Approved Leasehold Mortgage”), its leasehold interest in and to the Premises in favor of a lender (the “Approved Leasehold Mortgagee”), and Tenant may assign this Lease as collateral security for such Approved Leasehold Mortgage. Any such Approved Leasehold Mortgage, and all rights under or relating thereto, shall be subject to each of the covenants, conditions and restrictions set forth herein, and to all rights of the City hereunder and will always be subordinate to the rights of the City under this Lease and the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall in no event become personally liable to perform the obligations of Tenant under this Lease unless and until the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee becomes the owner of the leasehold estate pursuant to foreclosure, transfer in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise, and thereafter said Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall remain liable for such obligations only so long as such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee remains the owner of the leasehold estate. Tenant shall be responsible for payment of all of the City’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in reviewing any proposed Approved Leasehold Mortgage hereunder. |
(b) |
If an Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall give the City notice of such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee’s interest in the Premises and such notice shall contain the address to which notices to such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee are to be sent, the City will thereafter send to such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, at the address so given, and in the manner set forth in this Lease, a copy of any notice of default which the City may thereafter deliver or send to Tenant. Within the time permitted for the curing or commencing the curing of any default under this Lease, such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, at its option, may pay any amount due or do any other act or thing required of Tenant by the terms of this Lease, and all amounts so paid or other acts so done by such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall be as effective to cure such default as the same would have been if paid or done by Tenant. |
(c) |
An Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall not become liable for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease unless and until such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee becomes the owner of the leasehold estate established hereby by foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or if such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee gives notice to The City that such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee will assume Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. An Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall remain liable for the obligations of Tenant under this Lease only for so long as it remains the owner of the leasehold estate established hereby. |
(d) |
If any default or event of default occurs under an Approved Leasehold Mortgage, the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee and Tenant shall immediately notify The City of the same in writing. |
(e) |
If a non-monetary default by Tenant under this Lease is susceptible of being cured by an Approved Leasehold Mortgagee only after such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee has obtained possession of the Premises, then an Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall have an additional period not to exceed thirty (30) days to cure a non-monetary default after obtaining possession of the Premises; provided, however, that (i) such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee initiated all necessary actions to obtain possession of the Premises, including the initiation of foreclosure proceedings under its Approved Leasehold Mortgage, within thirty (30) days after the earlier of the date on which such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee became aware of such non-monetary default or the date on which such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee received notice from the City of such non-monetary default; (ii) such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall have pursued such actions with reasonable diligence; (iii) such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, within any applicable cure period provided in this Lease, shall have paid all Rent and other sums then due to The City under this Lease; and (iv) such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall have cured any other defaults by Tenant under this Lease that are susceptible of being cured by such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee without obtaining possession of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights granted to an Approved Leasehold Mortgagee in this Article shall not impair any right granted to the City in this Lease (a) to perform any obligations under this Lease that Tenant is required, but fails, to perform, and (b) to obtain reimbursement from Tenant of the City’s costs and expenses incurred in so performing and, subject to rights granted to an Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, to declare an Event of Default if Tenant fails so to reimburse within any applicable cure period. |
(f) |
Tenant shall be permitted to finance the design, construction and operation of the Tenant Improvements through a Private Activity Bond (“PAB”). The City shall provide customary consents and all related approvals required in connection with a PAB issuance and leasehold mortgage as part of the PAB financing program, which will be provided at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Any lien created to secure such financing or any other debt undertaken by Tenant shall be secured by Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Lease and the Tenant Improvements and shall not be secured by the fee interest in the Premises. IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT TENANT’S FINANCING OF THE TENANT IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH PAB IS SOLELY THE DEBT OF TENANT AND SHALL NOT RESULT IN ANY FINANCIAL BURDEN OR OBLIGATION OF THE CITY IN ANY MANNER, INCLUDING ANY COST OR EXPENSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TEFRA HEARING OR ANY OTHER CONSENT OR APPROVAL REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED BY THE CITY. Lienholders through PAB financing described herein shall be included within the definition of Approved Leasehold Mortgagee. |
(g) |
If this Lease is terminated for Tenant’s breach before the end of the Term, for any reason other than a default that has not been cured by Tenant or Approved Leasehold Mortgagee within the period specified, including, without limitation, as a result of a rejection or disaffirmation of the Lease in a bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding affecting creditor’s rights then City shall provide a copy of the termination notice to the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee. Upon the written request of Approved Leasehold Mortgagee made any time within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice from City, City shall agree to enter into a new lease of the Premises with Approved Leasehold Mortgagee for the remainder of the Term of the Lease upon the same covenants, conditions, limitations and agreements contain in the Lease, except for such provisions which must be modified to reflect any such termination, rejection or disaffirmance and the passage of time, provided, that, in the event of any such termination, rejection or disaffirmance, Approved Leasehold Mortgagee (or such successor or assign) (A) shall pay to The City, simultaneously with the delivery of such new lease, all unpaid amounts due under the Lease up to and including the date of the commencement of the term of such new lease and all reasonable and substantiated expenses incurred by City to prepare such new lease, and (B) otherwise shall cure all other defaults under the Lease promptly and with due diligence after the delivery of such new lease. If The City does not enter into a new lease with the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee, then the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall immediately remove all trade fixtures and other personal property from the Premises and repair to The City’s reasonable satisfaction, any damage caused to the Premises by the removal. The Approved Leasehold Mortgagee shall not remove or tamper with any Leasehold Improvement on the Premises. |
(h) |
Tenant’s present and future Approved Leasehold Mortgagee and any present and future mortgagees or similar beneficiaries are intended third party beneficiaries to this section. As third-party beneficiaries, they are entitled to the applicable rights under and may enforce the provisions of this section of the Lease as if they were parties thereto. |
(i) |
Nothing contained herein shall release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease that may not have been discharged or fully performed by an Approved Leasehold Mortgagee. |
12 |

Upon an “Event of Default”, City shall have the following remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law, equity or otherwise under this Lease, to which City may resort cumulatively, or in the alternative:
A. |
City may, at any time with notice and without any obligation to do so (implied or otherwise), and upon condition that it be for the account and at the expense of the Tenant, and without a waiver of such breach, perform any act which if performed by Tenant would otherwise cure the breach. If in so doing City is required or elects to pay any monies or do any acts which will require the payment of any monies or the incurring of any costs or expenses, Tenant covenants to pay to City upon demand by City the sum or sums of money paid or incurred by City, together with interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month plus costs and damages, as part of its rental fee due on the first (1st) day of the month which immediately follows City's demand therefor. The demand for any payment by City shall be prima facie evidence that the expense incurred was necessary and reasonable and that such expense was incurred by City on behalf of Tenant. |
B. |
City may, at its election, terminate this Lease upon written notice of termination in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date set forth in such notice. Any termination under this paragraph shall not relieve Tenant from the payment of any sums then due to City or from any claim for damages or rent previously accrued or then accruing against Tenant. In no event shall any one or more of the following actions by City, in the absence of a written election by City to terminate this Lease, constitute a termination of this Lease: |
(i) |
Appointment of a receiver or keeper in order to protect City's interest hereunder; or |
(ii) |
Any other action by City or its agents intended to mitigate the adverse effects of any breach of this Lease by Tenant, including, without limitation, action to maintain and preserve the Premises or any action taken to relet the Premises or any portions thereof for the account of Tenant and in the name of Tenant. |
C. |
This Lease shall not terminate following an Event of Default and an abandonment of the Premises unless City gives Tenant written notice of its election to terminate this Lease. No act by or on behalf of City intended to mitigate the adverse effect of such breach, including those described by the immediately preceding subparagraphs (i) and (ii), shall constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession unless City gives Tenant written notice of termination. |
D. |
In the event City terminates this Lease, City shall be entitled to damages in the following sums: |
(i) |
The worth at the time of award of all unpaid rental fees and other fees which have been earned at the time of termination; |
(ii) |
The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rental fees and other fees which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental fee or other fee loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; |
(iii) |
Any other amount necessary to compensate City for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, the following: (a) reasonable expenses for cleaning, repairing or restoring the Premises; (b) reasonable expenses for altering, remodeling or otherwise improving the Premises for the purpose of reletting, including installation of leasehold improvements (whether such installation be funded by a reduction of rent, direct payment or allowance to tenant, or otherwise); (c) reasonable costs of carrying the Premises such as insurance premiums thereon, utilities and security precautions; (d) reasonable expenses in retaking possession of the property; and (e) late payment fees and court costs. |
(iv) |
The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above is computed by allowing interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in subparagraph (iii) above is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). |
E. |
No payment by Tenant, or receipt by City, of a lesser amount than any rent, fee, charge or other amount due by Tenant hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest rent, fee, charge or other amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check from Tenant, or letter accompanying any check or payment, be deemed an accord and satisfaction. City may accept any such check or payment without prejudice to City's right to recover the balance of such rent, fee, charge or other amount or to pursue any other right or remedy available to City. |
F. |
No option, right, power, remedy or privilege of City shall be construed as being exhausted or discharged by the exercise thereof in one or more instances. |
13 |
WAIVER OF BREACH |
The waiver by City of any breach of any term, covenant, condition or provision herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of such term, covenant or condition. The consent or approval by City to any act of Tenant requiring City's approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the need for City's consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act of Tenant. The subsequent acceptance of any fee, rent or charges hereunder by City shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent, fee or charge so accepted, regardless of City's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of the accepting of such rent, fee or charge. No waiver, consent or approval by City shall be effective unless made by a duly authorized representative of City.
14 |
INDEMNITY AND WAIVER OF CLAIM |
14.1 |
Indemnification |
Tenant, for and on behalf of its directors, officers, employees and agents, covenants and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless City, its officers, employees, contractors and agents, from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, obligations, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses, penalties, suits or judgments, at any time received, incurred or accrued by City, its officers, agents, employees, contractors or members of the public using Airport facilities, arising out of or resulting in whole or in part from any act (or failure to act) of Tenant, its officers, employees, contractors, agents, permittees or invitees, or which results from their noncompliance with any Laws respecting the condition, use, occupation or safety of the Premises or any part thereof, or which arises from Tenant’s Authorized Activities or which arises from Tenant's failure to do anything required under this Lease, except as may arise from the sole active negligence or the willful misconduct of City, its officers, employees or agents. City's right to full indemnity hereunder shall arise notwithstanding that principles of joint, several or concurrent liability or comparative negligence, might otherwise impose liability on City pursuant to statutes, ordinances, regulations or other Laws. All of Tenant’s obligations under this Section are intended to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law and shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. In an action or claim against City in which Tenant is defending City, City shall have the right to approve legal counsel providing City’s defense. The provisions of Section 31 regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”) shall not limit Tenant’s indemnification under this provision.
The indemnification obligations of Tenant shall include the obligation of Tenant to defend, indemnify, protect and hold harmless City, its officers, agents or employees, from and against fines, costs, claims, damages, obligations, suits, judgments, penalties, proceedings, causes of action, losses, liabilities or costs arising under the ADA, which arise from Tenant’s activities under this Lease.
14.2 |
Assumption of Risk |
Tenant agrees to and covenants that it shall voluntarily assume any and all risk of loss, damage or injury to the person or property of Tenant, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and contractors which may occur in, on, or about the Premises or the Airport at any time and in any manner, except such loss, injury, or damage as may be caused by the sole active negligence or the willful misconduct of City, its officers, employees or agents.
14.3 |
Waiver of Claim |
Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to be rendered to City under this Lease, hereby waives all claims or causes of action against City, its officers, agents, contractors or employees which it may now or hereafter have for damage to its operations (including, without limitation, any interruption thereof), or to goods, wares, merchandise or other property on or about the Premises, and for injuries or death to persons on or about the Premises, from any cause or causes arising at any time, except as may arise from the sole active negligence or willful misconduct of City, its officers, agents or employees.
By way of example and not limitation, save and except as arises out of the sole active negligence or the willful misconduct of City, its officers, agents, contractors or employees, Tenant hereby waives any and all claims or causes of action which it may now or hereafter have against City, its officers, agents, contractors or employees (a) for loss, injury or damage sustained by reason of any deficiency, impairment and interruption of any water, electrical, gas, plumbing, air conditioning or sewer service or system serving any portion of the Airport; (b) for any loss, injury or damage arising or resulting from any negligent act or omission of any other tenant, subtenant, contractor, airline or occupant of the Airport, or any person who uses the Airport with or without the authorization or permission of City; (c) from the flight of any aircraft of any kind and all kinds in, through, across or about any portion of the airspace above the Airport; (d) from noise, vibration, currents and other effects of air, illumination, and fuel consumption, or fear thereof, arising or occurring from or during the flight of any aircraft or from or during the use by aircraft of the Airport, including but not limited to, landing, storage, repair, maintenance, operation, run-up and take-off of such aircraft, and the approach and departure of aircraft to or from the Airport; and (e) for any loss or damage to the property of, or injury or damage to Tenant, its officers, agents, employees, contractors, subtenants or any other person whomsoever, from any cause or causes arising at any time because of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises or use of the Airport, or its operations thereon.
15 |

Required Insurance Coverage |
Prior to commencing any work or operations under this Lease, Tenant at its sole cost and expense and for the full term of this Lease and all extensions thereof, shall obtain and maintain or shall cause to be obtained and maintained insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which may arise from or in connection with the activities of Tenant and its agents, representatives, employees and subcontractors, meeting at least the minimum insurance requirements set forth in Exhibit B on terms and conditions and in amounts as required by the City’s Risk Manager (“Risk Manager”). City shall not be obligated to take out insurance on Tenant's property. Tenant shall provide City with certificates of insurance and such endorsements as may be required by City’s Risk Manager. These requirements are subject to amendment or waiver if so approved in writing by the Risk Manager.
From time to time, at the request of the Risk Manager, Tenant shall provide a written statement of the replacement cost of the Tenant Improvements, with a copy to the Director.
15.2 |
Failure to Provide |
In the event Tenant fails to procure or maintain any insurance required under this Lease: (a) City shall have the right, but not the obligation after providing at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Tenant, without limiting or waiving any other rights or remedies it may have at law or in equity, to procure such insurance and at City’s sole option charge Tenant for the cost of maintaining and procuring such insurance or to offset the cost thereof against any amount that may be due or subsequently become due to Tenant; and (b) in the event a loss occurs which would have been covered by the insurance required by this Lease had such insurance been maintained, Tenant shall pay all amounts that would have been paid by such coverage, minus such amounts actually received by City under a policy procured by City pursuant to this Section.
15.3 |
Waiver of Subrogation |
City and Tenant hereby mutually agree that so long as their respective insurance carriers concur, any fire and extended coverage insurance policies carried on properties which are the subject of this Lease shall include a waiver of subrogation against the other party hereto, provided that such waiver of subrogation applies only to subsequent loss.
16 |
BAILEE DISCLAIMER |
It is hereby understood and agreed that City in no way purports to be a bailee, and is therefore not responsible in any way for any damage to the property of Tenant, Tenant's contractors, agents, employees and invitees.
17 |
RIGHT TO ENTER |
City reserves and shall have the right by its officers, employees, agents and contractors to enter into and upon the Premises upon two (2) business days’ notice scheduled in advance with Tenant (and in emergencies at all times without notice):
A. |
To make any inspection Director may deem expedient or desirable for the proper enforcement of the covenants, conditions, restrictions, limitations and provisions of this Lease; |
B. |
To install, construct and maintain, repair, replace and use any and all public utilities, sewer lines, drainage lines, water lines, water systems, irrigation lines, electrical lines, fuel lines and any municipal uses and appurtenances thereto, either above, on or below the surface of, in, along and/or across the Premises; |
C. |
To otherwise maintain the Premises, the building in which the Premises is located and the Airport, or to do any other repair, maintenance, alteration or removal under the conditions set forth herein; or |
D. |
To post notices of nonresponsibility for improvements, alterations or repairs if and when City shall desire to do so; |
When reasonably necessary, City may temporarily close entrances, doors, corridors, elevators or other facilities in connection with the foregoing.

Any action taken by City under this Section shall be without abatement of rent or payment of damages or other amounts to Tenant for any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, Leasehold Improvements or the buildings, betterments and improvements, without liability on the part of City for loss or damage that may be sustained by Tenant thereby, and without such action by City being construed as an eviction of Tenant or a release of Tenant from the duty of observing and performing any of the provisions of this Lease; provided, however, that such action shall be conducted and undertaken at times and in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operations and business of Tenant, and its subtenant’s and users, whenever reasonably possible.
18 |

18.1 |

(a) any Hazardous Material Release which is caused by or results from the activities of Tenant, Tenant's officers, agents, employees, contractors, permittees or invitees on the Airport;
(b) any Hazardous Material release that commences during the term of the Lease on the Premises, unless Tenant establishes through investigation, sampling, testing and analysis acceptable to the City, that the release was caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of City, City’s officers, agents, employees, contractors or permittees or solely by migration of Hazardous Materials onto the Premises from a specifically identifiable source off the Premises.
3. Prevention of Release. Tenant shall take all necessary precautions to prevent its activities from causing any Hazardous Material release to occur on the Airport, including, but not limited to any release into soil, groundwater, or the City's sewage or storm drainage system.

Lessee agrees to pay the Aviation Authority, the Fuel Flowage fee on or before the twentieth (20th) day of each month for the prior month as Additional Rent. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the intent of the Fuel Flowage Fee is to establish a fee based on profits made by Lessee from the provision of energy to power aircraft. In the event that technological development affecting the manner in which aircraft are powered substantially disrupts the collection of Fuel Flowage Fees as currently stated herein, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith an amendment to the provisions of this Lease regarding the Fuel Flowage Fee, in order to retain the benefit of the bargain regarding the equitable apportionment of monies received by Lessee from the sale of goods and services related to the provision of energy to power aircraft.

For any amount of Additional Rent due under this Lease, Authority shall furnish Lessee with an invoice setting forth the nature and amount of such Additional Rent, and except as otherwise stated in this Lease, payment of such Additional Rent shall be made in full within thirty (30) days following the receipt of such invoice.
4.9 Delinquent Rent. Any installment of Annual Rent, and any fees or other charges accruing under this Lease that are not received within fifteen (15) business days after such payment is due, shall bear interest from the date when the same was due until paid by Lessee at the interest rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum (or, if less, the maximum interest rate allowed by law).
If Authority has paid any sum or sums or has incurred any obligation or expense for which Lessee is obligated to pay or reimburse Authority, or if Authority is required or elects to pay any sum or sums or incurs any obligation or expense because of the failure or refusal of Lessee to perform or fulfill any of the terms or conditions of this Lease, then the same shall be deemed Additional Rent due hereunder, and Lessee shall, promptly after demand by Authority, reimburse Authority therefor. Authority agrees that it shall not pay any sum or incur any obligation or expense on behalf of Lessee unless Authority has notified Lessee and Lessee fails or refuses to comply with its obligations under this Lease within ten (10) business days of receipt of such notice; provided, however, that in the event of an emergency, Authority shall not be obligated to notify Lessee prior to incurring obligations as contemplated herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any sums due from Lessee to the Authority under the provisions of this subsection shall bear interest at the rate of interest provided for above from the date any such sum was paid, or such expense was incurred by the Authority.
4.10 Unconditional Payment Obligation. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Lessee’s obligation to make the payments provided for in Section 4 shall be absolute and unconditional and will not be affected by the occurrence of any event or circumstance whatsoever. In the event the rights and privileges hereunder are suspended by reason of war or other national emergency, Rent under this Lease shall not abate, but the term of this Lease shall be extended by the period of such suspension, and Lessee will have the right to make any claim against any third party permitted by law and to receive any award paid with respect to such claim.
4.11 Collection Agent. As and when requested by the Authority, Lessee agrees to serve as the Authority's collection agent with respect to landing fees, customs fees, or any other fees applicable to any aircraft (or particular class of aircraft) arriving at and utilizing the Airport. Lessee hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to remit said fees to the Authority at such times and in accordance with such procedures as the Authority may from time to time establish with respect thereto.
4.12 Audit, Accounting, Books and Records
(a) Accounting and Audit. Within one hundred eighty (180) days after the close of Lessee's fiscal year (January 1 to December 31) during the term hereof, Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall provide to Authority a written annual Statement of Concessionaire Fees Due to the Authority, accompanied by an independent auditor’s attestation report prepared by an independent Certified Public Accountant, setting forth the actual number of gallons of aviation fuel delivered from fuel farms owned, leased or subleased by Lessee or to the Premises, including "into plane" and "contract fuel", during the preceding fiscal year, the actual amount of Lessee's Gross Receipts by category during such fiscal year and the amount of percentage fees and charges which are due to Authority as a result thereof, the amount of such fees and charges actually paid by Lessee to Authority for such fiscal year, and the amount, if any, by which the sums actually due and owing for such period have been overpaid or underpaid by Lessee (such statement being hereinafter referred to as the "Annual Accounting"). Lessee shall require each sublessee or sublicensee owned or controlled by Lessee or an officer or stockholder of Lessee providing FBO services to provide to Lessee an Annual Accounting, in substantially the same form as required by Authority from Lessee, setting forth the actual amount of such sublessee's or sub-licensee's Gross Receipts at the Premises during such fiscal year, the amount of fees and charges which were due to Lessee as a result thereof and the amount of fees and charges actually paid by such sublessee or sublicensee to Lessee for such fiscal year. The Annual Accounting submitted to Lessee by each such third-party sublessee or sublicensee shall be submitted to Authority with Lessee's Annual Accounting. If Lessee's Annual Accounting indicates that the fees or charges for such fiscal year have been overpaid, then the amount of such overpayment shall be credited to the Rent, fees, or charges next due and owing to Authority from Lessee upon issuance of a credit memorandum by Authority, unless the term hereof has expired in which event such amount shall be promptly refunded by the Authority to Lessee. If the Annual Accounting indicates that the fees or charges for such fiscal year have been underpaid, then Lessee shall forthwith pay to Authority the amount remaining due for such fiscal year, together with interest thereon from the date such amount should have been paid, at the maximum interest rate then allowed by applicable law; provided however, that if no maximum interest rate is then provided by applicable law, the interest rate shall be eighteen percent (18%) per annum. Lessee shall, at all times during the term hereof, maintain, or shall cause its authorized agents, contractors, or subcontractors, to maintain, complete and accurate books, records, and accounts, which in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Lessee (the “Books and Records”). The Books and Records shall reflect all of the Lessee’s operations and business done on the Airport in a form consistent with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), as applicable, consistently applied. Such Books and Records shall contain an itemized record of the actual number of gallons of aviation fuel delivered from fuel farms owned, leased, or subleased by Lessee or to the Premises, including "into plane" and "contract fuel", and of all Gross Receipts by such categories as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Authority, and shall separately identify all other receipts derived by Lessee from its operations on the Airport. Lessee shall install and use or cause to be installed and used on the Premises such appropriate accounting equipment or devices as are reasonably necessary in order to categorize and record properly, accurately and completely all sales of goods and services and other business transactions by Lessee on the Airport with respect to which Authority is entitled to participate financially. Lessee, when processing, transmitting, or storing transactional data, shall be responsible for ensuring the processing platform is Payment Card Industry (PCI) and Data Security Standard (DSS) compliant, and shall provide evidence of such to the Authority with each Annual Accounting. All such Books and Records shall be available for inspection by Authority, its employees, and its duly authorized representatives during reasonable business hours at the offices of the Authority or at the Premises within seven (7) days of a request to review same for the purpose of determining the accuracy thereof and of the reports required to be made by Lessee under the provisions hereof; provided, however, that no such inspections will be conducted in such manner or at such time as to unduly interfere with the conduct of Lessee's business. Lessee shall maintain such Books and Records for a period of no less than four (4) years after the fiscal year to which such Books and Records pertain, including the retention of relevant collateral records and forms including, but not limited to, sales checks or slips, cash register and adding machine tapes and analogous supporting data. Authority shall further have the right, upon reasonable notice to Lessee, to cause an audit to be made of the Books and Records of Lessee which relate to its operations on the Airport to determine the correctness of the fees and charges paid by Lessee to Authority for any or all of the four (4) years immediately preceding such audit. If, as a result of such audit, it is established that additional sums are due from Lessee to Authority, Lessee shall forthwith, upon written demand from Authority, pay such additional fees and charges with interest thereon from the date such sums should have been paid, at the maximum interest rate then allowed by applicable law; provided however, that if no maximum interest rate is then provided by applicable law, the interest rate shall be eighteen percent (18%) per annum. Further, if such audit establishes that Lessee has understated and underpaid the fees and charges due hereunder for any Fiscal Year by two percent (2%) or more, the entire expense of such audit shall be borne by Lessee. The Authority's rights under this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
(b) Books and Records. Lessee shall, at all times during the Term hereof, make available complete and accurate Books and Records of its operations on the Premises, in a form consistent with U.S. GAAP, as applicable, and shall cause to be installed for use at all times in the Premises appropriate devices and forms as are reasonably necessary to record properly, accurately and completely all sales of goods and services and other business transactions by Lessee on the Premises. Lessee’s Books and Records shall be maintained in sufficient detail to allow the Authority or its representatives to audit, in accordance with GAAS, Lessee’s Gross Receipts as defined in Article 1, above. Lessee shall account for all receipts of any nature related to transactions in connection with this Lease in a manner which segregates in detail those transactions from other transactions of the Lessee and which supports the amounts reported to the Authority in Lessee’s Monthly Gross Receipts Report schedules prepared in accordance with Article 4.5(b). At a minimum, Lessee’s accounting for such receipts shall include the following:
1. |
Serially numbered sales slips, using a numbering system for transactions under this Lease which is separate from any numbering system used by Lessee for other transactions; or comparable numbering system that allows traceability to other supporting documents evidencing individual sales transactions, as applicable; |
2. |
Lessee’s bank account statements (separate bank accounts shall be maintained for all receipts from operations on the Premises and no receipts from any other source shall be deposited in such accounts; in lieu of a separate bank account, Lessee shall establish internal controls sufficient to identify and trace receipts from operations on the Premises to a centralized bank account; |
3. |
A compiled report of transactions from the Premises showing all Gross Receipts, all exclusions from Gross Receipts by category (as set forth in Article 1), and all fuel dispensing transactions, which report shall be subtotaled by day and totaled by month. The monthly total shall correspond with the amounts reported to the Authority on Lessee’s Monthly Gross Receipts Report under Article 6.05(b). If requested, Lessee shall provide the Authority a computer text file that details month Gross Receipts information by transaction; |
4. |
The monthly reports required under this Article 6.07, which reports shall be subtotaled by day and totaled by month. The monthly total shall correspond with the amounts reported to the Authority in the Monthly Gross Receipts Reports and the annual total shall correspond with the amount reported by the Lessee to the Authority on the Annual Certification of Fees required in this Article 6.07; and |
5. |
Such other records, if any, which would normally be examined by an independent certified public accountant in performing an examination of Lessee’s Gross Receipts in accordance with GAAS and the provisions of this Lease. |
Such records may be in the form of (a) electronic media compatible with the computers available to the Authority, or (b) a computer-run hard copy. The Chief Executive Officer may require other records necessary at his determination to enable the accurate audit of Lessee’s Gross Receipts hereunder. Upon five (5) business days written notice from the Chief Executive Officer, all such Books and Records, including, the general ledger and bank statements and all federal, state and local sales tax returns relating thereto, shall be made available at the offices of the Authority for inspection by the Authority through its duly authorized representatives at any time for up to four (4) years after the end of the fiscal year to which such books and records related (and Lessee shall not be obligated to retain such books and records subsequent to the termination of such four (4) year period). The Authority shall further have the right, upon reasonable written notice to Lessee from the Chief Executive Officer and at the sole cost of the Authority except as specified below, to examine or designate a representative to audit or examine the books and records and computerized accounting systems of Lessee which relate to its operations on the Premises to determine the correctness of the Gross Receipts and Privilege Fees reported or paid by Lessee to the Authority for any or all of the four (4) fiscal years immediately preceding such audit or examination. Such shall include, but is not limited to, a review of the general input, processing and output controls, information systems, using read only access, for all computer applications used to record financial transactions and information. If, as a result of such audit or examination, it is established that the Gross Receipts and/or Privilege Fees for any fiscal year have been under-reported to the Authority, Lessee shall forthwith, upon written demand from the Chief Executive Officer, pay any resulting amount due to the Authority, together with interest thereon at the rate set forth Article 6.06, above, from the date such amount or amounts should have been paid, at the maximum interest rate then allowed by applicable law; provided however. Further, if such audit or examination establishes that Lessee has under-reported Gross Receipts and/or Privilege Fees for any fiscal year by two percent (2%) or more, then the entire expense of such audit or examination shall be borne by Lessee. The Authority's rights under this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
(c) Intentionally omitted
(d) Bank Accounts. Lessee shall maintain separate bank accounts for all receipts from operations on the Premises and no receipts from any other source shall be deposited in such accounts. In lieu of a separate bank account, Lessee shall establish internal controls sufficient to identify and trace receipts from operations on the Premises to a centralized bank account;
(e) PCI Compliance. Lessee, and any sublessees and sublicensees, shall not connect to or utilize any computer network or systems of the Authority, including, without limitation, for transmission of credit card networks and systems and shall ensure its system used to collect, process, store, or transmit credit card or customer credit card and/or personal information is compliant with all applicable Payment Card Industry (“PCI”) Data Security Standard (“DSS”).

2. Lessee, in addition to notifying the Authority of any security malfunction or breach, intrusion or unauthorized access to cardholder or other customer data that in each case concerns data transmitted from the Premises and satisfying the PCI requirements, will immediately take the remedial actions available under the circumstances and provide the Authority with an explanation of the cause of the breach or intrusion and the proposed remediation plan. Lessee will notify the Authority promptly if it learns that it is no longer PCI DSS compliant relating to cardholder or other customer data that is transmitted from the Premises and will provide the Authority within ten (10) days of discovering it is no longer PCI DSS compliant with a report on steps being taken to remediate the non-compliance status and provide evidence of compliance once PCI DSS compliance is achieved.
3. Lessee, its successors and assigns, will continue to comply with all provisions of this Lease relating to accidents, incidents, damages and remedial requirements after the termination of this Lease, subject to applicable statute of limitations.
4. Lessee shall ensure compliance with PCI DSS for each credit card transaction and acknowledges responsibility for the security of cardholder data.
5. Lessee must maintain PCI Certification as a merchant which accepts bankcards at the Premises at the Airport. Lessee is responsible, at Lessee’s own expense, to contract and pay for all quarterly, annual or other required assessments, remediation activities related to processes within Lessee’s control, analysis or certification processes necessary to maintain PCI certification as a merchant that accepts bankcards.

Such payment bonds shall be conditioned upon the payment of all labor, materials, equipment, and supplies used in the performance of said construction contract.
iv. All performance bonds required hereunder from any Contractor of Lessee shall guarantee the faithful performance of said construction contract and shall protect the obligees from losses, damages, expenses, costs, and attorney’s fees, including appellate proceedings, that the obligees sustain because of a default by the Contractor under the contract.
v. Bonds required hereunder shall be submitted in the forms attached hereto Exhibit “E” which fully comply, both in form and substance, with the requirements of Section 255.05, Fla. Stat., any successor thereto and any other applicable law or regulation and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Lessor. Lessee shall provide the Lessor with a certified copy of the bonds as evidence of thereof, which shall be recorded by the Lessee, if requested by the Lessor.
vi. Any construction or installation work by or for Lessee at the Airport shall not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Airport, or otherwise unreasonably interfere with the permitted activities of other tenants and users.

Stat., in the amount of the underlying contract. Any such alternative form of security shall be for the same purpose and be subject to the same conditions as those applicable to the bond for which the alternative form of security is being substituted. The determination of the value of an alternative form of security shall be reasonably made by the Lessor.
(g) Sureties’ Qualifications.
It is further mutually agreed between Lessee and the Lessor that if at any time, the surety that issued a bond no longer meets the requirements set forth herein, Lessee shall, at its expense, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from the Lessor to do so, furnish or cause to be furnished an additional or replacement bond or bonds from a surety that meets the requirements hereof.
Any bond shall be on a form to be provided by the Lessor and shall be written by a company that meets at least one of the following criteria: (A) has at least one investment grade long-term debt rating from Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Financial Services (“S&P”) or Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”); or (B) has a Financial Strength rating of A- or better from A.M.

Finally, bonds and Letters of Credit must be provided by institutions physically located within the United States.
(h) Authority's approval of any Plans submitted by Lessee shall not constitute the assumption of any liability by Authority for the compliance or conformity of the Plans with applicable building codes, zoning regulations and municipal, county, state and federal laws, ordinances, and regulations, or for their accuracy or suitability for Lessee's intended purpose, and Lessee shall be solely responsible for the Plans. Authority's approval of the Plans shall not constitute a waiver of Authority's right thereafter to require Lessee, at its expense, to amend the same so that they comply with building codes, zoning regulations, municipal, county, state and federal laws, ordinances and regulations either applicable at the time the Improvements were constructed or by laws otherwise made applicable to Lessee's Improvements, and to make such construction changes as are necessary so that the completed work is in conformity with the approved Plans. Authority's approval of such Plans shall mean that the Authority has found such Plans to have been prepared in accordance with the Development Standards, and such approval shall waive Authority's right thereafter to require Lessee to amend the same to comply with the Development Standards.
(i) Lessee shall obtain, at its expense, all necessary licenses and permits to accomplish the Improvements, and shall pay all applicable impact fees relating thereto. Authority, at no expense to the Authority, shall use reasonable efforts to assist Lessee in its efforts to obtain all necessary approvals, licenses, and permits, including, but not limited to, executing any documents, applications, and other instruments as may be required by any applicable governmental authority for Lessee’s Improvements. Lessee hereby warrants and covenants to Authority that all Improvements now or hereafter erected on the Premises shall be at all times free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Authority and the City harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, relating to, or arising out of any such lien, claim or encumbrance. If any such lien or notice of lien on account of the alleged debt of Lessee or any notice of contract by a party engaged by Lessee or Lessee's contractor to work on the Premises shall be filed against the Premises, Lessee's leasehold interest therein or any Improvements, the Lessee shall, within thirty (30) days after notice of filing thereof, cause the same to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond, order of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.
(j) Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Authority, express or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman, architect, surveyor, or engineer for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials or services for or in connection with the Premises or any part thereof. Notice is hereby given that the Authority shall not be liable for any labor or materials, or services furnished or to be furnished to Lessee upon credit, and that no construction or other lien for labor, materials or services shall attach to or affect the fee or reversionary or other estate or interest of the Authority in the Premises or in this Lease. All Persons dealing with the Premises and with Lessee are hereby put on notice that Lessee does not have the power to deal with the Premises in such a manner as to authorize the creation of construction liens, by implication or otherwise; and all Persons making improvements to the Premises, either by doing work or labor or services or by supplying materials thereto, at the request of Lessee or Persons dealing by, through or under Lessee, are hereby put on notice that they must look solely to the Lessee and not to the Premises or any part thereof or to this Lease for the payment of all services, labor or materials performed upon or delivered to the Premises. Any such lien placed upon the Premises or any Improvements (excluding liens for taxes which are not delinquent and mortgages permitted hereunder) must be discharged by payment or bond within thirty (30) days.
(k) Once Lessee has commenced construction of any Improvements, such construction shall be accomplished pursuant to standard construction procedures and practices established by Authority for work on the Airport and shall be pursued diligently to completion. All Improvements shall be constructed in strict accordance with the approved plans and specifications, the Development Standards and all applicable building codes, zoning regulations and municipal, county, state and federal laws, ordinances, and regulations unless a waiver or exemption has been obtained from the appropriate authority.
5.3 Title to Improvements.
(a) Title.
i. Premises. Title to all improvements now or hereafter constructed by Lessee on the Premises shall remain with Lessee during the Term of the Lease. Upon the termination of Lessee’s right of possession under this Lease whether as a result of the expiration of the term of this Lease or any sooner termination thereof in accordance with the terms of this Lease, all right title and an interest to the Improvements shall vest in the Authority. Upon such “vesting” as herein provided, Lessee hereby covenants to execute and deliver to Authority any and all instruments or documents that Authority reasonably requests to effectively transfer, assign and convey such Improvements in fee to Authority, provided, that such instruments or documents shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Lessee.

Lessee’s obligations under this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. At completion of construction, Lessee shall deliver a current amortization schedule, to be straight line over the full thirty (30) year term with the cost of Improvements being the actual invoiced amount for same.

The Aviation Authority shall cause the Improvements located on the Premises to be inspected no later than eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the Term for any required deferred and preventative maintenance work (“Inspection”). Tenant shall perform all such deferred and preventative maintenance work identified in the Inspection prior to the termination of the Lease. If Tenant fails to perform any of the deferred and/or preventative maintenance identified in the Inspection prior to the end of the Lease Term, the Aviation Authority may either perform all work not completed by Tenant and charge Tenant for the full cost incurred by Aviation Authority in performing such work to the Improvements.
5.4 Grass and Landscaping. Lessee shall grass and landscape the Premises in accordance with the landscape plan approved by Authority and the terms of the Development Standards, and shall install on the Premises such automatic irrigation systems as shall be necessary to maintain such landscaping and grass areas, and thereafter Lessee shall be obligated to keep all landscaping and grass areas on the Premises in a clean and well-trimmed condition, and to keep and maintain such automatic irrigation systems in a good state of repair.
5.5 Utilities. All utility services within and to the Premises required by Lessee must be obtained at Lessee's sole cost and expense by connection to the utilities installed at the Premises or in the vicinity thereof. The routes for all utility services lines or mains shall be reasonably approved by Authority, and all service lines and mains shall be placed underground by and at the expense of Lessee, and Lessee shall restore any property affected by placing such facilities underground. In addition, all utility curb cuts, excavation and trenching shall be subject to the prior written approval of Authority as part of Authority's review of Lessee's Plans as provided in Section 5.2 above and shall be completed by and at the expense of Lessee. All backfill, tamping, landscaping and street repair required as a result of such curb cuts, excavation and trenching shall be completed by and at the expense of Lessee, to the reasonable satisfaction of Authority.
(a) Lessee shall pay for all meters and measuring devices installed by Lessee or by any utility on the Premises, to the extent payment is required by those utilities providing service, and shall pay for all utilities (including, without limitation, stormwater utility fees) consumed by Lessee on the Premises.
(b) Lessee agrees that Authority shall have no liability to Lessee arising out of any interruption of utility service to the Premises, whether or not caused by repairs or alterations being made to any part of the Airport, unless such liability arises from Authority's proven negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, to the extent that utility service is within the control of Authority, Authority will provide reasonable notice to Lessee of any scheduled interruption and will make a reasonable effort to restore (or cause to be restored) utility service as promptly as reasonably possible. Reasonable notice under this Section 5.5(b) shall be no later than thirty (30) days prior to commencement of ordinary repairs and alternations, and in the event of an emergency as soon as the Authority becomes aware of the emergency. In the event that an interruption of utility service is caused by the Authority’s negligence, and such interruption continues for more than twenty-four (24) hours, Lessee’s then current Annual Rent shall be abated on a day for day basis until the utility service is restored to a level satisfactory to Lessee in its sole discretion. For purposes of this Section 5.5, the acts of a third party shall not constitute acts within the control of Authority unless such acts were authorized by Authority.
5.6 Trash and Garbage. Lessee shall make suitable arrangements for the storage, collection, and removal from the Premises of all trash, garbage and other refuse resulting from Lessee's activities on the Premises. Lessee shall provide appropriate covered, metal receptacles for trash, garbage, and other refuse. Lessee will maintain the receptacles in an attractive, safe, and sanitary manner, and will store receptacles in inconspicuous places on the Premises that are screened from public view.
5.7 Trade Fixtures.
(a) Lessee may, from time to time, at its expense, install, operate, repair, and replace any trade fixtures and other personal property on the Premises or in the Improvements, all of which shall be and remain the property of Lessee and may be removed at any time during the term hereof and within thirty (30) days after expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof. Lessee shall repair any damage to the Premises, or any Improvements caused by such removal in a manner that restores the Premises and/or the applicable Improvements as near as reasonably practicable to the condition that existed prior to the removal the trade fixture. Failure to remove trade fixtures or other personal property as provided herein shall not constitute a holdover by Lessee, but all such property not removed within the time specified above shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Lessee, in which case, Authority may either use or dispose of the same as it shall see fit without any liability to Lessee therefor, or may remove and store the same at Lessee's expense. The terms "trade fixtures" and "other personal property" shall not include: (i) any item hereafter installed or erected thereon by Authority, or at its expense, or for which Lessee has been reimbursed by Authority, or (ii) any item affixed to the Premises or any Improvement which cannot be removed without structural injury to the Premises or to any Improvement, whether or not installed by and at the expense of Lessee.
(b) If, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof, Lessee shall be in default hereunder, the Chief Executive Officer may, at his option, but shall not be obligated to, give notice to Lessee that Lessee may, within thirty (30) days after the date such notice is given, remove its trade fixtures and other personal property, provided that such removal will not result in structural injury to the Premises or any Improvement, and that Lessee shall at its expense repair any damage to the Premises or any Improvement caused by such removal, in a manner that restores the Premises and/or the applicable Improvements as near as reasonably practicable to the condition that existed prior to the removal of the trade fixture. In such event, any trade fixtures or other personal property not so removed within such time period shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Lessee, in which case, Authority may either use or dispose of the same as it shall see fit without any liability to Lessee therefor.
5.8 Fire Protection System. Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense, maintain in good working order in each building on the Premises where the same is required by applicable fire and safety standards a fire protection system satisfying applicable requirements of NFPA, the local building code enforcement agency and any other applicable legal requirements, which Lessee shall cause to be certified as meeting all applicable fire and safety standards upon installation, and recertified at least annually thereafter, by a qualified fire protection system inspector with a copy of each such certification provided to Authority.
5.9 Airport Security. Lessee shall comply with all applicable regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration relating to airport security (including, at the Authority’s request and without limitation, all such regulations applicable to the Authority with respect to the operation of the Premises) and shall control the Premises so as to prevent or deter unauthorized persons from obtaining access to that portion of the Airport consisting of cargo areas, airside buildings, aircraft aprons, ramps, taxiways and runways (the “Air Operations Area”). Any fines or other penalties incurred by the Authority as a result of Lessee’s breach of this Section shall be included in the indemnification provided to Authority pursuant to Article 9 of the Lease.
5.10 Compliance with Stormwater Regulations.
(a) Lessee acknowledges that the Airport is subject to State stormwater regulations, F.A.C. 62-620 and -621 (the “Stormwater Regulations”), which are applicable to, among other activities, (i) certain industrial activity, including, without limitation, the operation of a vehicle maintenance shop (including vehicle rehabilitation, mechanical repairs, painting, fueling, and lubrication), equipment cleaning operations and deicing operations and (ii) certain construction activity at the Airport. Lessee also acknowledges that it is familiar with the Stormwater Regulations and agrees to comply with the Stormwater Regulations as they may be amended from time to time. Lessee further acknowledges that it has been advised that the Authority has complied with the Stormwater Regulations by obtaining coverage under the State of Florida Multi-Sector Generic Permit for Stormwater Discharge Associated with Industrial Activity (the “Multi-Sector Permit”). Lessee may be able to become a co-permittee under such Multi-Sector Permit by filing separately in accordance with the provisions of the Stormwater Regulations and the Multi-Sector Permit. Lessee shall provide to the Authority’s Manager of Environmental Services copies of any such filings and such other information as the Chief Executive Officer may reasonably request with respect to Lessee’s compliance with the Stormwater Regulations. Lessee agrees to comply with such Multi-Sector Permit, or any other permit obtained by Authority or Lessee in connection with the Stormwater Regulations as they pertain to the Premises, and any modifications to or renewals thereof. Such permit will not cover construction activities as defined by the Stormwater Regulations and will not eliminate the need to obtain permits from state or local agencies as applicable laws, ordinances or regulations may require.
(b) If Lessee, or its authorized agents or representatives, engages in construction activity at the Airport, including, without limitation, clearing, grading, or excavation, Lessee shall determine whether the Stormwater Regulations require a permit, and if so, Lessee shall obtain the permit, send a copy of the permit to the attention of the Authority’s Manager of Environmental Services, and comply with the permit conditions.
5.11 Americans with Disabilities Act. As used herein, “ADA” shall mean the Americans with Disabilities Act, P.L. 101-336, 104 Stat. 327 (1990), as amended from time to time, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Lessee shall be responsible for any actions required to comply with ADA (including, without limitation, any actions required by the Authority to enable the Authority to meet its ADA obligations with respect to Lessee’s operations) as a result of (i) any Improvements or modifications which it makes to the Premises, (ii) its particular use of the Premises and (iii) any changes to the ADA after the Effective Date. Any modification to the Premises, which Lessee is required to make under this Section, shall be performed to the satisfaction of the Authority. In the event the Lessee shall fail to construct or modify any Improvements to the Premises as required under this Section, the Authority shall have the right to enter the Premises and perform such modifications on the Lessee’s behalf, without liability for any disruption to the Lessee’s activities therein during the completion of or as a result of such modifications, and the cost of such modifications shall be invoiced to the Lessee and shall be promptly paid by the Lessee to the Authority as Additional Rent hereunder.
ARTICLE VI
TAXES
6.1 Payment of Sales Tax. Lessee shall be liable, at its sole cost and expense, for any sales, use or similar taxes if imposed by law with respect to all Annual Rent, Additional Rent, and other payments made by Lessee in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.
6.2 Property Taxes. Lessee shall pay when due all taxes (including, without limitation, any required ad valorem taxes), assessments (including, without limitation, stormwater utility charges) and impact fees levied against or in connection with the Premises, its leasehold interest therein and any Improvements thereto, and pay when due all taxes and assessments levied against Lessee's personal property located on the Premises or otherwise arising out of its operations on the Premises. In the event Lessee shall fail to pay when due any such taxes and assessments, then regardless of whether Authority exercises its right to terminate this Lease because of Lessee's default, Lessee shall also be obligated to pay all resulting interest and penalties on such delinquent taxes and assessments. None of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease shall be construed as a release or waiver on the part of Authority or the City of the right to assess, levy or collect any license, personal property, intangible, occupation or other tax which they, or either of them, may lawfully assess, levy or collect on the business or property of Lessee. Lessee may exercise any rights provided by law to contest or pay under protest any taxes and shall not thereby be deemed in default under this Lease, provided that such contest or payment under protest does not result in the imposition of a lien for delinquent taxes on the Premises or any Improvements and Lessee promptly pays all taxes and assessments (and any interest and penalties with respect thereto) ultimately determined to be due.
If the term of this Lease expires or is earlier terminated prior to the close of the tax year for which any such tax is payable, or if the term of this Lease commences on a date other than the first day of such tax year, Lessee shall be responsible for paying a percentage of the tax calculated by dividing the number of days that this Lease was in effect during such tax year by the total number of days that the Premises was leased to tenants (excluding any tenant engaging in a use of the Premises which results in the Premises being exempt from taxation) during such tax year. If this Lease is in effect for a period less than any entire period for which an assessment other than a tax is imposed, Lessee shall pay a percentage of the assessment calculated by dividing the number of days this Lease was in effect during that assessment period by the total number of days in the assessment period. Lessee's obligations under this Section 6.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease.
6.3 Tax Indemnity. Lessee shall indemnify, defend, and hold Authority completely harmless from and against any liability, including any interest and penalties, which might arise in connection with Lessee’s failure to timely remit any such taxes described in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, whether remitted directly to the State of Florida or remitted to Authority as provided in Section 4.1 above.

ENVIRONMENTAL
8.1 Environmental Obligations.
(a) Lessee shall comply with all “Environmental Laws”, which are defined as all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, administrative rulings, orders, ordinances, or other legally binding requirements, or all Authority rules, regulations, to the extent such Authority rules and regulations are not inconsistent with other applicable Environmental Laws, pertaining to the protection of the environment, including but not limited to those regulating the storage, handling, and disposal of waste materials that have been defined, designated or listed under Environmental Laws as being hazardous, toxic, or presenting hazards to human health or the environment. Further, during the Term of this Lease, neither party to this Lease nor any agent or party acting at the direction or with the consent of either party hereto shall use, store, handle or dispose of by any means any “Hazardous Substances”, as defined in Section 101(14) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time ("CERCLA"), or petroleum (including crude oil or any fraction thereof) on the Premises, except that Lessee shall be entitled to use, store, handle or dispose of Hazardous Substances or petroleum of the type and in the quantities typically used by companies performing similar aviation services in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws.
(b) Upon reasonable prior written notice to Lessee, the Authority may conduct or cause to be conducted through a reputable third-party consultant, an environmental audit or other investigation of Lessee’s operations to determine whether Lessee has breached its obligations under subparagraph (a) above, provided that the Authority has received notice or has a reasonable basis to believe that such a breach or a Release of Hazardous Substances on the Premises has occurred. Lessee shall pay all reasonable costs associated with any such investigation conducted by a third-party environmental contractor if such investigation shall disclose any such breach by Lessee, otherwise such costs shall be paid by the Authority. The Authority shall pay all costs associated with any investigation conducted by Authority or its employees, as opposed to a third-party consultant. Lessee reserves the right to accompany Authority or any third-party environmental contractor on such audits or investigations.
(c) Lessee shall fully and promptly pay, perform, discharge, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Authority from any and all claims, orders, demands, causes of action, proceedings, judgments, or suits and all liabilities, losses, fines, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, technical consultant fees, court costs, expenses paid to third parties and reasonable attorneys' fees) and damages arising out of Lessee’s operations, or as a result of, (i) any "Release" as defined in Section 101(22) of CERCLA, of any Hazardous Substance placed into, on or from the Premises at any time after the Effective Date of this Lease; (ii) any contamination of the Premises' soil or groundwater or damage to the environment and natural resources of the Premises, the result of actions occurring after the Effective Date of this Lease, whether arising under CERCLA or other statutes and regulations, or common law; and (iii) any toxic, explosive or otherwise dangerous materials or Hazardous Substances which have been buried beneath, concealed within or released on or from the Premises after the Effective Date of this Lease; provided, however, the foregoing indemnification obligations shall not apply to Environmental Conditions existing on the Premises prior to the Effective Date of this Lease, Environmental Conditions migrating unto the Premises that were not caused by Lessee or its predecessors in interest, or Environmental Conditions caused by the Authority, its contractors or agents, or any third-party unrelated to Lessee.

In the event it is determined during the Lease, or as a result of the Exit Baseline, that the Premises contains an “Environmental Condition", which, for purposes of this Section 8.1 shall mean any Hazardous Substances in amounts which violate any Environmental Laws, Lessee shall be responsible for any and all remedial action with respect to any such Environmental Condition at the Premises caused by Lessee or its predecessors in interest. For the avoidance of doubt, as stated in Section 8.1(c), Lessee shall not be responsible for any remedial action with respect to any Environmental Condition at the Premises, to the extent such Environmental Condition was not caused by Lessee’s operations upon the Premises.
(e) Lessee shall perform aircraft washing (dry or wet, with soap or chemicals) only on a "wash rack" which is designed for such purpose and complies with the requirements of this Section 8.1.
(f) The provisions of this Section 8.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

This indemnification shall not apply to the extent that any claims, damages, losses, and expenses arise from Aviation Authority’s sole negligence, gross negligence or intentional misconduct. The Aviation Authority shall give Lessee reasonable notice of any suit or claim for which indemnification will be sought under this Indemnification section, allow Lessee or its insurer to compromise and defend the same to the extent of its interests (subject to the Aviation Authority’s right to approve any proposed settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and reasonably cooperate with the defense of any such suit or claim. In carrying out its obligations under this Indemnification section, Lessee shall use counsel reasonably acceptable to the Aviation Authority. Nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver by Aviation Authority of its sovereign immunity rights under the laws of The State of Florida.

DESTRUCTION OF IMPROVEMENTS
10.1 Obligations of Lessee. In the event the Improvements are damaged or destroyed in whole or in part by fire or other casualty, Lessee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Authority, and subject to the terms of Section 10.2 below, Lessee, at its own expense, shall promptly repair, replace, and rebuild the same, at substantially the same value and character as the Improvements and equipment existing immediately prior to such time, in compliance with Article 5 above. Damage to the Improvements shall not cause an abatement of Lessee’s obligation to pay Annual Rent to the Aviation Authority or to make any other payments required to be made by Lessee under this Lease If Lessee fails to repair or replace such improvements in accordance with a schedule approved by the Authority, the Authority shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make such repairs and/or replacement and recover from Lessee the cost and expense thereof.
10.2 Insurance Proceeds. Upon receipt by Lessee and the Authority of the proceeds of any property or builder’s risk insurance policy or policies, Lessee and the Authority shall deposit same in an interest-bearing escrow account to pay for the cost of such repair, replacement, and rebuilding. Lessee shall receive and hold such proceeds (and any interest earned thereon) in trust for such work, and Lessee shall distribute such proceeds (and any interest earned thereon during construction) solely to pay the cost of such work. If the amount of such insurance proceeds (together with the interest earned thereon) is insufficient to pay the costs of the necessary repair, replacement or rebuilding of such damaged Improvements, Lessee shall pay any additional sums required, and if the amount of such insurance proceeds (together with the interest earned thereon) is in excess of the costs thereof, the amount of such excess shall be retained by Lessee. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.2 to the contrary, Lessee shall solely be entitled to receive and retain any insurance proceeds for Lessee’s personal property, including any aircraft.
ARTICLE XI

If the Taking is of fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises, or substantially all of the access to the Premises, or of those portions of the Premises that are necessary for Lessee’s use of the Premises as contemplated herein, Lessee may, by notice to Authority within ninety (90) days after Lessee receives notice of the Taking, elect to treat the taking in accordance with the preceding sentence. If Lessee does not so notify Authority, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect covering the balance of the Premises not so taken, except that the Annual Rent payable hereunder by Lessee shall be equitably adjusted (a “Partial Taking”).
11.4 Obligations of Lessee under Partial Taking. It is understood and agreed that all condemnation proceeds for any Partial Taking of the Premises shall be paid to Lessee to be held by it in trust and used for the repair and reconstruction of the Premises and replacement of the Improvements. Upon the completion of such repair or reconstruction work and the discharge of the Premises and Improvements from all liens or claims arising therefrom, Lessee shall be entitled to any surplus of condemnation proceeds obtained by Lessee over the cost of repair or reconstruction and shall be liable for any deficiency between the cost of repair or reconstruction and any condemnation proceeds obtained by Lessee.
11.5 Taking of Temporary Use of Premises and Improvements. Upon any Temporary Taking (as hereinafter defined) of the use of all or any part of the Premises or Improvements, or both, neither the Term nor the Annual Rent shall be reduced or affected in any way and Lessee shall be entitled to any award for the use or estate taken. All condemnation proceeds for any Temporary Taking shall be paid to Lessee to be held by it in trust and used for the repair and reconstruction of the Premises and Improvements, with the excess to be retained by Lessee as provided below. If a result of the Temporary Taking is to necessitate expenditures for reconstruction of the Improvements to make them reasonably suitable for Lessee’s continued use in connection with its operations under this Lease, after the termination of such Temporary Taking, Lessee shall perform such work in accordance with the provisions of the Lease. Upon the completion of the work and the discharge of the Premises and Improvements from all liens or claims arising therefrom, Lessee shall be entitled to any surplus of condemnation proceeds obtained by Lessee over the cost of repair or reconstruction and shall be liable for any deficiency between the cost of repair or reconstruction and any condemnation proceeds obtained by Lessee. A “Temporary Taking” is defined as a taking of the use of all or any part of the Premises or Improvements, or both, for a period with a duration of less than twelve (12) months. In the event that any Temporary Taking shall exceed twelve (12) months in duration and shall materially adversely affect Lessee’s use and operation of the Premises for the Permitted Uses under this Lease, then Lessee may elect to terminate this Lease upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Authority. Upon any such termination of this Lease, Lessee shall retain the right to pursue such rights and remedies as may be available under applicable law relative to such taking. If Lessee does not so notify Authority, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect covering the balance of the Premises not so taken, except that the Annual Rent payable hereunder by Lessee shall be equitably adjusted.
11.6 Deposit of Sums Payable on Taking. If Authority and Lessee are unable to agree on how all sums payable by a third party on the Taking are to be distributed and disbursed as between Authority and Lessee, then Authority and Lessee agree to take such action as shall reasonably be required to withdraw such sums from the registry of the Court and jointly deposit such sums in an interest bearing escrow account, and once agreement is reached between Authority and Lessee as to how such sums are to be distributed and disbursed (or the matter has been determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida), the interest earned on such sums shall be distributed between Authority and Lessee in the same proportion as the distribution of the principal amount of such sums. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lessee shall be entitled to bring a separate action against a third-party condemning authority for the collection of, among other things, but not limited to: (i) the value of the Lessee Improvements, and Lessee’s fixtures, furniture, and equipment; (ii) relocation costs; (iii) reasonable loss of profits; and (iv) goodwill. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such action, recovery or collection by Lessee shall not include the value of Lessee’s leasehold interest under this Lease.
ARTICLE XII
DEFAULT
12.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”) by Lessee under this Lease: (i) the failure of Lessee to make any payment of Minimum Annual Rent, Privilege Fee, Fuel Flowage Fee, Additional Rent, or any other payment required to be made by Lessee hereunder when due, which failure is not remedied within ten (10) days after written notice of such failure from Authority to Lessee; (ii) the failure of Lessee to keep, observe or perform any other material covenants or agreements herein, and the continued failure to observe or perform any such covenant or agreement after a period of thirty (30) days after written demand; provided, however, that if such failure cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period and Lessee commences such cure promptly within such thirty (30) day period and diligently proceeds to effect such cure, then Lessee shall have such additional time as reasonably necessary to effect such cure, but in any event Lessee shall cure such breach within one hundred twenty (120) days after the initial written demand by Authority, which one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be extended one (1) day for each day of an event of Force Majeure; (iii) commencement by or against the Lessee of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, including, without limitation, a proceeding for liquidation, reorganization or for the readjustment of its indebtedness, or the insolvency of the Lessee, or an assignment or arrangement for the benefit of its creditors or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or custodian, provided, however, that any of the foregoing set forth in this subsection (iii) which is commenced by a person other than Lessee shall not constitute an Event of Default if it is discharged within ninety (90) days; or (iv) the placement of any lien upon the Premises or any Improvements (excluding liens for taxes which are not delinquent and mortgages permitted hereunder) which is not discharged of record by payment or bond within thirty (30) days, or any levy under any such lien.
12.2 Remedies for Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is not cured within the applicable cure period, the Authority may in its sole discretion pursue any of the following remedies, or such other remedies as may be available to the Authority at law or in equity:
(a) Authority may terminate the Lease and re-enter and repossess the Premises; or
(b) Authority may, without terminating this Lease, terminate Lessee’s right to possession of the Premises, retake possession of the Premises, and recover immediately from the Lessee damages calculated as follows:
i. all unpaid Annual Rent and other payments due from Lessee at the time of termination of Lessee’s right to possession, together with,
ii. the amount by which the unpaid Annual Rent and other payments due from Lessee earned after the date of termination of Lessee’s right to possession of the Premises until the time of a damages award in favor of Authority (which shall not extend beyond the Expiration Date) exceeds the amount of the loss of Annual Rent and other payments due from Lessee that Lessee proves has been or could have reasonably been avoided, together with
iii. the worth, at the time of such award (which shall not extend beyond the Expiration Date), of the amount by which the unpaid Annual Rent and other payments due from Lessee for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of Annual Rent and other payments due from Lessee that Lessee proves could reasonably be avoided. (For purposes of this subparagraph (iii), the worth, at the time of award, of such amount shall be determined by discounting such amount in accordance with accepted financial practice to its present worth at a rate of interest of four percent (4%) per year.)
For purposes of the calculation of damages described above, and in subsection (c) below, recurring payments under the Lease other than Annual Rent due from Lessee after the termination of Lessee’s right to possession of the Premises shall be based upon the average of such payments payable during the thirty-six (36) month period prior to the termination of possession (or, if shorter, the prior period of the Term of the Lease).
Upon entry of judgment for such damages, as described above, this Lease shall be deemed to be terminated; or
(c) Authority may, without terminating this Lease, terminate Lessee’s rights to possession of the Premises, retake possession of the Premises and relet the Premises, or any part or parts thereof, for the account of Lessee, for a term that may, at Authority’s reasonable option, be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term of this Lease. In such event, Lessee shall pay to Authority any deficiency between the Annual Rent and other charges herein reserved and the net amount of the rents and other charges collected on account of any other lease of the Premises for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term of this Lease. Authority may recover such deficiency from Lessee at the time each payment becomes due under the Lease, or, at Authority’s option, upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease. Anything in this Section 12.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, Authority shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises or any part thereof, alone, or together with other premises.
Regardless of the exercise of any of the above-referenced options, Authority shall have the right to recover all unpaid Annual Rent, Additional Rent and other payments earned by Authority prior to the date of termination of possession or of the Lease, and all of Authority’s actually incurred reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the recovery of sums due under this Lease, or due to the breach of any covenant or agreement of Lessee contained in this Lease, including actual and reasonable costs and expenses of reletting the Premises, such as all necessary repairs and renovations, all brokerage fees and attorneys’ fees. Except as may be otherwise agreed in writing by the Authority, Authority will have the right at any time following an Event of Default which is not cured within the applicable cure period to elect to terminate the Lease.
The rights and remedies given to Authority by this Lease shall not be exclusive, and in addition thereto, Authority shall have such other rights and may pursue such other remedies as are provided by law or in equity. All such rights and remedies shall be deemed to be cumulative, and the exercise of one such right or remedy by Authority shall not impair its standing to exercise any other right or remedy, provided, however, that Lessee shall in no event be liable for special, consequential, or punitive damages.
12.3 Advances by Authority and Lessee.
(a) If Authority has paid any reasonable sums of money or incurred any obligation or reasonable expense for which Lessee is obligated to pay or reimburse Authority, or if Authority is required or elects to do so because of the failure of Lessee to perform any of the terms or conditions of this Lease, subject to applicable notice and cure periods provided herein, then the same shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall be paid to Authority in accordance with Section 4.4 herein.
(b) In the event that Authority fails to perform any maintenance obligation required to be performed by it under this Lease, which failure is not cured, except in the case of an emergency as necessary to protect health, safety or property damage (in which event Lessee shall notify Authority as soon as possible), within ninety (90) days after written notice from Lessee specifying the failure (or Authority does not within said period commence and diligently proceed to cure such failure and cure same in all events within one hundred eighty (180) days from initial notice), Lessee shall have the right to cure such failure for the account of Authority and Authority shall reimburse Lessee for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith by Lessee within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Lessee.
12.4 Non-Waiver by Authority. No waiver of any covenant or condition or of the breach of any covenant or condition of this Lease shall constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of such covenant or condition or justify or authorize the non-observance on any other occasion of the same or of any other covenant or condition hereof. The acceptance of Annual Rent, Additional Rent or other payments from Lessee by Authority at any time when Lessee is in default under this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver of such default or of Authority’s right to exercise any remedy arising out of such default, nor shall any waiver or indulgence granted by Authority to Lessee be taken as an estoppel against Authority, it being expressly understood that Authority may at any time thereafter, if such default continues, exercise any such remedy in the manner hereinbefore provided or as otherwise provided by law or in equity.
ARTICLE XIII

Authority shall be free from any and all liability to Lessee for loss of business or damages of any nature whatsoever to Lessee occasioned by the making of such improvements, repairs, alterations and additions that do not interfere with Lessee’s use or quiet enjoyment of the Premises in other than a de minimis manner or Lessee’s access to the Premises during such reasonable, temporary periods. Upon prior written notice to Lessee, Authority reserves the right to establish such fees and charges for the use of the Airport by Lessee (excluding any additional charge for the use of the Premises) and all others similarly situated, on a non-discriminatory basis, from time to time as Authority may deem reasonably advisable. Authority reserves the right for itself and others to utilize and maintain any utility and drainage easements located on the Premises, and to run water, sewer, electrical, telephone, gas, drainage and other lines under or through the Premises and to grant necessary utility easements therefore, provided that in the exercise of such rights, Lessee’s use of the Premises and any Improvements shall not be materially impaired and any damage to the Premises or any Improvements caused by Authority as a result thereof shall be repaired diligently without cost to Lessee. The Authority reserves the right, for the benefit of itself and all others authorized by the Authority to use the Airport, to taxi aircraft over the paved areas of the Premises either if pre-approved or in an emergency situation.
13.5 Leasehold Encumbrances.
(a) Lessee may encumber only its leasehold estate and its interest in the Lessee Improvements by execution and delivery of any leasehold mortgage. Authority will not subordinate its interest in the Premises or this Lease to any mortgage, including any leasehold mortgage. In the event of foreclosure of the leasehold mortgage by any mortgagee, the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or the person acquiring Lessee’s interest in lieu of foreclosure, shall succeed, as lessee, to and be bound by all of Lessee’s rights, interests, duties, and obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no person other than the mortgagee shall have the right to become lessee under this Lease, and the interest of Lessee under this Lease shall not be conveyed to the purchaser at a foreclosure sale or to a person acquiring Lessee’s interest in lieu of foreclosure, without complying with the requirements of Section 13.6 below. In particular, any change in lessee pursuant to this Section shall be treated as an assignment or subletting pursuant to Section 13.6 below, such that the Annual Rent shall immediately apply to such successor lessee, which Annual Rent shall then be subject to future increases pursuant to the terms hereof.
(b) The Authority will agree to give the leasehold mortgagee written notice that an Event of Default has occurred under the terms of this Lease promptly following the occurrence of an Event of Default that is not waived by Authority, or, in the event Lessee files for bankruptcy protection prior to the expiration any applicable cure period and subsequently rejects this Lease in connection with any proceedings under applicable bankruptcy laws, promptly following the rejection of this Lease (the “Default Notice”). The leasehold mortgagee shall have the right but to the obligation to cure the default in the longer of (i) a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of a Default Notice, or (ii) the applicable cure period under this Lease, to cure such Event of Default and/or pay to the Authority any and all amounts outstanding under this Lease, including without limitation, all past due Annual Rent, any Annual Rent coming due during the cure period, and any Additional Rent; provided, however, that the leasehold mortgagee shall have no obligation to cure any non-monetary defaults, except to the extent such non-monetary default has resulted in Additional Rent being owed hereunder.
(c) the Mortgagee shall not become liable for Lessee’s obligations under this Lease unless and until the mortgagee becomes the owner of the leasehold estate and/or Improvements established hereby by foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or if such mortgagee gives written notice to the Authority that such mortgagee will assume Lessee’s obligations under this Lease. A mortgagee shall remain liable for the obligations of Lessee under this Lease only for so long as it remains the owner of the leasehold estate established hereby, and its interest has been assigned or transferred to pursuant to an assignment approved by the Authority.
(d) If this Lease is terminated by reason of Lessee’s breach before the end of the Term for any reason other than a default that has not been cured by Lessee or mortgagee within the period specified, including, without limitation, as a result of a rejection or disaffirmation of the Lease in a bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding affecting creditor’s rights then the Authority shall provide a copy of the termination notice to the mortgagee. Upon the written request of mortgagee made within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice from the Authority, the Authority shall agree to enter into a new lease of the Premises with mortgagee for the remainder of the term of the Lease upon the same covenants, conditions, limitations and agreements contain in the Lease, except for such provisions which must be modified to reflect any such termination, rejection or disaffirmance and the passage of time, provided, that, in the event of any such termination, rejection or disaffirmance, mortgagee (or such successor or assign) (A) shall pay to the Authority, simultaneously with the delivery of such new lease, all unpaid amounts due under the Lease up to and including the date of the commencement of the term of such new lease and all reasonable and substantiated expenses incurred by the Authority to prepare such new lease, and (B) otherwise shall cure all other defaults under the Lease promptly and with due diligence after the delivery of such new lease. If the Authority does not enter into a new lease with the mortgagee, then mortgagee shall immediately remove all trade fixtures and other personal property from the Premises and repair to the Authority’s reasonable satisfaction, any damage caused to the Premises by the removal. Mortgagee shall not remove or tamper with any improvement on the Premises.
(e) Upon written notice of termination set forth in 13.5(d) mortgagees or similar beneficiaries are intended third party beneficiaries to this Section 13.5. As third-party beneficiaries, they are entitled to the applicable rights under and may enforce this provisions of this Section 13.5 of the Lease as if they were parties thereto.
(f) Lessee shall be permitted to finance the design, construction, and operation of the Improvements through a Private Activity Bond (“PAB”). The Authority shall provide customary consents and all related approvals required in connection with a PAB issuance and leasehold mortgage as part of the PAB financing program, which will be provided at Lessee’s sole cost and expense. Any lien created to secure such financing or any other debt undertaken by Lessee shall be secured by Lessee’s leasehold interest in the Lease and the Lessee Improvements and shall not be secured by the fee interest in the Premises. IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT LESSEE’S FINANCING OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH PAB IS SOLELY THE DEBT OF LESSEE AND SHALL NOT RESULT IN ANY FINANCIAL BURDEN OR OBLIGATION OF THE AUTHORITY IN ANY MANNER, INCLUDING ANY COST OR EXPENSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TEFRA HEARING OR ANY OTHER CONSENT OR APPROVAL REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED BY THE AUTHORITY. Lienholders through PAB financing described herein shall be a mortgagee entitled to the rights provided for in this Section 13.5.
13.6 Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Assignment and Subletting in accordance with the Permitted Use. Lessee shall be authorized to sublet hangar space and tie downs in accordance with its Permitted Use and all the terms of this Lease, subject to the written consent of said sublease by the Authority, said consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Any assignment or sublease, which is not in strict compliance with the terms and conditions of this Section, shall be void ab initio and shall be of no force or effect whatsoever.
(a) (b) Assignment and Subletting other than in the Course of the Permitted Use. Other than as set forth in 13.6(a), Lessee shall not at any time sublet or assign this Lease, in whole or in part, or assign any of its obligations hereunder without the prior approval of Authority, which approval shall which approval may be granted or withheld in the Authority’s reasonable discretion; except that Lessee may assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises without prior approval (but upon prior written notice to Authority) to (i) a corporate parent, affiliate, related company, or subsidiary (collectively, an “Affiliate”), upon submitting proof of such affiliation that is reasonably satisfactory to Authority, or (ii) any entity that results from any merger, consolidation, or reorganization of Lessee or into which Lessee may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or (iii) to a purchaser of all or substantially all of Lessee’s assets (provided such purchaser also assumes substantially all of Lessee’s liabilities) (any individual or entity under (i), (ii), or (iii) is a “Related Entity”). In the event Lessee assigns this Lease or subleases all or any portion of the Premises to an individual or entity that is not a Related Entity of Lessee, in determining whether to grant or withhold its consent to an assignment, the Authority may consider such factors as it deems to be pertinent, including, without limitation, the net worth and operating experience of the proposed assignee. No sublease or assignment shall release Lessee from any of its obligations under this Lease unless the Authority agrees to such release in writing in its sole discretion. Approvals required under this Section shall be in writing. For so long as Lessee is a corporation whose stock is publicly traded, no approval of Authority shall be required for any change in ownership of or power to vote a majority of the outstanding voting stock of Lessee, or for any mergers, consolidations, or other restructurings of Lessee, and the Annual Rent shall not increase as a result of any of the foregoing events. In the event that Lessee converts to a private company or otherwise ceases to be a company whose stock is publicly traded: (i) any change in Lessee from a corporation whose stock is publicly traded to a private entity; or (ii) any change in ownership of or power to vote a majority of the outstanding voting stock or other equity interests of Lessee; or (iii) any transfer of an interest in the Lessee entity which results in a change in the control of such entity; or (iv) any other restructuring of Lessee from time to time (even when Lessee is no longer a corporation whose stock is publicly traded), shall not require the approval of Authority, and the Annual Rent shall not increase as a result of any of the foregoing events. Any assignment or sublease, which is not in strict compliance with the terms and conditions of this Section, shall be void ab initio and shall be of no force or effect whatsoever.
(c) Lessee agrees to reimburse the Authority for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs actually incurred in determining whether to give its consent to any proposed sublease or assignment pursuant to Section 13.6(b), whether or not such consent is given, and the negotiation and preparation of any documents with respect to such sublease or assignment.
13.7 Notice. Any notice permitted or required to be given under the terms of this Lease shall be in writing, addressed to the party to whom it is directed, and sent either by (1) hand delivery, (2) United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or (3) overnight delivery by a nationally recognized company, to the address shown below or to such other address as either party may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with this Section:

All provisions hereof shall be subordinate to the right of the United States to occupy or use the Airport, or any part thereof, during time of war or national emergency.
(b) In the event the Federal Aviation Administration or its successors require modifications or changes in this Lease as a condition precedent to the granting of its approval or to the obtaining of funds for the improvement of the Airport, Lessee hereby consents to any and all such modifications and changes as may be reasonably required.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13, in the event any such restrictions, agreements or modifications to this Lease increase the Annual Rent payable hereunder or materially and adversely affect the ability of Lessee to use the Premises for the purposes permitted under this Lease, the Parties agree to work in good-faith to reach an equitable resolution but if an equitable resolution cannot be reached, Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to the Authority.

GENERAL CIVIL RIGHTS PROVISIONS
If and to the extent applicable as a matter of law, the Lessee agrees to comply with pertinent statutes, Executive Orders, and such rules as are promulgated to ensure that no person shall, on the grounds of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability be excluded from participating in any activity conducted with or benefiting from Federal assistance. If the Lessee transfers its obligation to another, the transferee shall be obligated in the same manner as the Lessee.
This provision obligates the Lessee for the period during which the property is owned, used, or possessed by the Lessee and the airport remains obligated to the Federal Aviation Administration. This provision is in addition to that required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, if and to the extent applicable as a matter of law.
Compliance with Nondiscrimination Requirements:
During the performance of this contract, the Lessee, for itself, its assignees, and successors in interest (hereinafter referred to as the “Lessee”), agrees as follows, if and to the extent applicable as a matter of law:
1. |
Compliance with Regulations: The Lessee (hereinafter includes consultants) will comply with the Title VI List of Pertinent Nondiscrimination Acts and Authorities set forth herein, which are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this contract. |
2. |
Nondiscrimination: The Lessee, with regard to the work performed by it during the contract, will not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, or national origin in the selection and retention of sub-lessees, including procurements of materials and leases of equipment. The Lessee will not participate directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by the Nondiscrimination Acts and Authorities, including employment practices when the contract covers any activity, project, or program set forth in Appendix B of 49 CFR part 21. |
3. |
Solicitations for Subcontracts, including Procurements of Materials and Equipment: In all solicitations, either by competitive bidding or negotiation made by the Lessee for work to be performed under a subcontract, including procurements of materials, or leases of equipment, each potential sub-lessee or supplier will be notified by the Lessee of the Lessee’s obligations under this contract and the Nondiscrimination Acts and Authorities on the grounds of race, color, or national origin. |
4. |
Information and Reports: If and to the extent applicable as a matter of law, the Lessee will provide all information and reports required by the Acts, the Regulations, and directives issued pursuant thereto and will permit access to its books, records, accounts, other sources of information, and its facilities as may be determined by the sponsor or the Federal Aviation Administration to be pertinent to ascertain compliance with such Nondiscrimination Acts and Authorities and instructions. Where any information required of a Lessee is in the exclusive possession of another who fails or refuses to furnish the information, the Lessee will so certify to the sponsor or the Federal Aviation Administration, as appropriate, and will set forth what efforts it has made to obtain the information. |
5. |
Sanctions for Noncompliance: In the event of a Lessee’s noncompliance with the non-discrimination provisions of this contract, the sponsor will impose such contract sanctions as it or the Federal Aviation Administration may determine to be appropriate, including, but not limited to: |
a. |
Withholding payments to the Lessee under the contract until the Lessee complies; and/or |
b. |
Cancelling, terminating, or suspending a contract, in whole or in part. |
6. |
Incorporation of Provisions: The Lessee will use reasonable efforts include the provisions of paragraphs one through six in every subcontract, including procurements of materials and leases of equipment entered into after the effective date of the Lease, unless exempt by the Acts, the Regulations, and directives issued pursuant thereto, but in all instances shall comply with all applicable federal laws, orders, rules, and regulations. The Lessee will take action with respect to any subcontract or procurement as the sponsor or the Federal Aviation Administration may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions including sanctions for noncompliance. Provided, that if the Lessee becomes involved in, or is threatened with litigation by a sub-lessee, or supplier because of such direction, the Lessee may request the sponsor to enter into any litigation to protect the interests of the sponsor. In addition, the Lessee may request the United States to enter into the litigation to protect the interests of the United States. |
7. |
The Lessee for itself, successors in interest, and assigns, as a part of the consideration hereof, does hereby covenant and agree that: |
a. |
In the event facilities are constructed, maintained, or otherwise operated on the property described in the Lease for a purpose for which a Federal Aviation Administration activity, facility, or program is extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits, the Lessee will maintain and operate such facilities and services in compliance with all requirements imposed by the Nondiscrimination Acts and Regulations listed herein if and to the extent applicable as a matter of law, such that no person on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, will be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination in the use of said facilities. |
8. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] |
Sky Harbour Group Corporation (“SHG”) is a holding company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and, through its main operating subsidiary, Sky Harbour LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Sky”), is an aviation infrastructure development company that develops, leases and manages general aviation hangars for business aircraft across the United States. Sky Harbour Group Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Company.”
The Company is organized as an umbrella partnership-C corporation, or “Up-C”, structure in which substantially all of the operating assets of the Company are held by Sky and SHG’s only substantive assets are its equity interests in Sky (the “Sky Common Units”). As of March 31, 2024, SHG owned approximately 36.9% of the Sky Common Units and the prior holders of Sky Common Units (the “LLC Interests”) owned approximately 63.1% of the Sky Common Units and control the Company through their ownership of the Company's Class B Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (“Class B Common Stock”). |

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared in conformity with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requirements for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and consequently exclude certain disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).These Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which includes additional disclosures and a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies. In the Company’s opinion, these Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary by management to fairly state the Company’s results of operation, financial position, and cash flows.
Certain historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include assumptions used within impairment analyses, estimated useful lives of depreciable assets and amortizable costs, estimates of inputs utilized in determining the fair value of financial instruments such as warrants, estimates and assumptions related to right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, and estimates and assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations have been limited to-date. For most of its history, the Company has been engaged in securing access to land through ground leases and developing and constructing aviation hangars. The major risks faced by the Company is its future ability to obtain additional tenants for the facilities that it constructs, and to contract with such tenants for rental income in an amount that is sufficient to meet the Company’s financial obligations, including increasing construction costs due to inflation and increased borrowing costs to the extent that the Company incurs additional indebtedness.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As a result of ongoing construction projects and business development activities, including the development of aircraft hangars and the leasing of available hangar space, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. The Company expects to continue to invest in such activities and generate operating losses in the near future.
The Company obtained long-term financing through bond and equity offerings to fund its construction, lease, and operational commitments, and believes its liquidity is sufficient to allow continued operations for more than one year after the date these financial statements are issued.
Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
SHG is deemed to have a controlling interest of Sky through its appointment as the Managing Member of Sky, in which SHG has control over the affairs and decision-making of Sky. The interests in Sky not owned by the Company are presented as non-controlling interests. Sky’s ownership percentage in each of its consolidated subsidiaries is 100%, unless otherwise disclosed.
Cost of Construction
Cost of construction on the consolidated balance sheets is carried at cost. The cost of acquiring an asset includes the costs necessary to bring a capital project to the condition necessary for its intended use. Costs are capitalized once the construction of a specific capital project is probable. Construction labor and other direct costs of construction are capitalized. Professional fees for engineering, procurement, consulting, and other soft costs that are directly identifiable with the project and are considered an incremental direct cost are capitalized. Activities associated with internally manufactured hangar buildings, including materials, direct manufacturing labor, and manufacturing overhead directly identifiable with such activities are allocated to our construction projects and capitalized. The Company allocates a portion of its internal salaries to both capitalized cost of construction and to general and administrative expense based on the percentage of time certain employees worked in the related areas. Interest, net of the amortization of debt issuance costs and premiums, and net of interest income earned on bond proceeds, is also capitalized until the capital project is completed.
Once a capital project is complete, the Company begins to depreciate the constructed asset on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the life of the asset or the remaining term of the related ground lease, including expected renewal terms.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases. The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease at the inception of the contract. ASC Topic 842 requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets for all operating leases with terms of more than 12 months on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has made an accounting policy election to not recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and will result in recognizing those lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. When management determines that it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise its options to renew the leases, the renewal terms are included in the lease term and the resulting ROU asset and lease liability balances.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components; the Company has elected the accounting policy to not separate lease and non-lease components for all underlying asset classes. The Company has not elected to capitalize any interest cost that is implicit within its operating leases into cost of construction on the consolidated balance sheet, but instead, expenses its ground lease cost as a component of operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Warrants liability
The Company accounts for its Warrants (as defined in Note 10 — Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), under which warrants that do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities carried at their fair value and adjusts the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
Revenue recognition
The Company leases the hangar facilities that it constructs to third parties. The lease agreements are either on a month-to-month basis or have a defined term and may have options to extend the term. Some of the leases contain options to terminate the lease by either party with given notice. There are no options given to the lessee to purchase the underlying assets. Rental revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases (see Note 8 — Leases) and includes fixed payments of cash rents, which represents revenue each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental revenue and the corresponding rent and other receivables are recorded net of any concessions and uncollectible tenant receivables for all periods presented. The Company evaluates the collectability of tenant receivables for payments required under the lease agreements. If the Company determines that collectability is not probable, the Company recognizes any difference between revenue amounts recognized to date under ASC 842 and payments that have been collected from the lessee, including any additional rent or lease termination fees, as a current period adjustment to rental revenue.
Variable lease payments consist of tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance, utilities, and operating expenses of the property, and various other fees, including fees associated with the delivery of aircraft fuel, late fees, and lease termination fees. Variable lease payments are charged based on the terms and conditions included in the respective tenant leases and are recognized in the same period as the expenses are incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, rental revenue includes $379 of variable lease payments. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, rental revenue includes $117 of variable lease payments.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the deferred rent receivable included in prepaid expenses and other assets was $403 and $367, respectively. Rent received in advance represents tenant payments received prior to the contractual due date, and is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities. Rent received in advance consisted of $359 and $241 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company derived approximately 10% of its revenue from tenant. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 the Company derived approximately 45% of its revenue from tenants, including 20% from a single tenant.
Income Taxes
SHG is classified as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes and is subject to U.S. Federal and state income taxes. SHG includes in income, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, its allocable portion of income from the “pass-through” entities in which it holds an interest, including Sky. The “pass-through” entities, are not subject to U.S. Federal and certain state income taxes at the entity level, and instead, the tax liabilities with respect to taxable income are passed through to the members, including SHG. As a result, prior to the Yellowstone Transaction, Sky was not subject to U.S. Federal and certain state income taxes at the entity level.
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences associated with the differences between the financial accounting and tax basis of the assets and liabilities as well as the ultimate realization of any deferred tax asset resulting from such differences, as well as from net operating losses and other tax-basis carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. When a valuation allowance is increased or decreased, a corresponding tax expense or benefit is recorded.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $0 and the effective tax rate was 0.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized due to the cumulative losses sustained by the Company to date.

Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] |
On May 12, 2023 (the “Option Exercise Date”), Sky exercised its option to acquire a 51% equity interest in Overflow Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (“Overflow”), and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Rapidbuilt, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Rapidbuilt”), for nominal consideration (the “Rapidbuilt Acquisition”). As a result of the Rapidbuilt Acquisition, Weatherford Steel Buildings Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Sky (“WSBH”), owns a 50% limited partnership interest in Overflow, and Weatherford Steel Buildings GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Sky (“WSB GP”), owns a 1% general partnership interest in Overflow.
Rapidbuilt is a manufacturer of pre-engineered steel buildings that previously entered into a supplier arrangement with Sky. Rapidbuilt and Sky’s strategic partnership has resulted in a standard set of proprietary prototype hangar designs, which are intended to deliver high-quality business aviation facilities, lower construction costs, minimize development risk, expedite permit issuance, and facilitate the implementation of refinements across Sky’s portfolio. The Company had pre-existing relationships with Rapidbuilt through a vendor agreement entered into in July 2022 to acquire construction materials related to the Company's development projects (the “Rapidbuilt Vendor Agreement”) and a revolving line of credit loan and security agreement (the “Rapidbuilt Loan Agreement”) to fund the working capital requirement of Rapidbuilt. These pre-existing relationships were effectively settled in the acquisition and the net receivable balance of $44 is included within the consideration transferred. No gain or loss was recognized in the effective settlement of the Rapidbuilt Vendor Agreement and the Rapidbuilt Loan Agreement.
The total cash purchase consideration was nominal. The Company accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the total purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on respective estimated fair values. The estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assume liabilities are based on preliminary calculations and subject to further refinement and may require adjustments to arrive at the final purchase price accounting. The Company expects the final purchase price allocation to be completed in a period of time that will not exceed one year from the Option Exercise Date. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes from the preliminary purchase price allocation.
The following tables summarize the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the Rapidbuilt Acquisition:
Following the Rapidbuilt Acquisition, substantially all of Overflow and Rapidbuilt's activities relate to the manufacturing of pre-engineering hangar structures for Sky's hangar development projects. As such, the pro-forma effect of this acquisition on revenues and earnings was not material.

Investments in Debt and Marketable Equity Securities (and Certain Trading Assets) Disclosure [Text Block] |
Investments of the Company's cash in various U.S. Treasury securities have been classified as available-for-sale and are carried at estimated fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs as determined based upon quoted market prices.
Pursuant to provisions within the Master Indenture of the Series 2021 Bonds, as defined in Note 9 — Bonds payable, loans payable, and interest, the Company invests the funds held in the restricted trust bank accounts in various U.S. Treasury securities. Therefore, such investments are reported as “Restricted investments” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized losses on certain of the Company's investments and restricted investments are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates. The Company does not believe the unrealized losses represent impairments because the unrealized losses are due to general market factors. The Company has not recognized an allowance for expected credit losses related to its investments or restricted investments as the Company has not identified any unrealized losses attributable to credit factors during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The held-to-maturity restricted investments are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at amortized cost. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has the ability and intent to hold these restricted investments until maturity, and as a result, the Company would not expect the value of these investments to decline significantly due to a sudden change in market interest rates. The fair value of the Company’s restricted investments is estimated utilizing Level 1 inputs including prices for U.S. Treasury securities with comparable maturities on active markets.
The following tables are summaries of the amortized cost, unrealized gains, unrealized losses, and fair value by investment type as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Lessee and Lessor, Operating Lease [Text Block] |
Lessee
The table below summarizes operating lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 recorded in the captions within our consolidated statement of operations:
The Company’s ground leases at airports are classified as operating leases under ASC Topic 842. Management has determined that it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise its options to renew the leases, and therefore the renewal options are included in the lease term and the resulting ROU asset and operating lease liability balances. As the Company’s lease agreements do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, nor is the rate available to the Company from its lessors, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. In addition to the Company’s ground leases, the company has operating leases for office space and ground support vehicles, and finance leases for vehicles supporting operations at Rapidbuilt.
The Company’s lease population does not include any residual value guarantees. The Company has operating leases that contain variable payments, most commonly in the form of common area maintenance and operating expense charges, which are based on actual costs incurred. These variable payments were excluded from the calculation of the ROU asset and operating lease liability balances since they are not fixed or in-substance fixed payments. These variable payments were not material in amount for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Some of the leases contain covenants that require the Company to construct the hangar facilities on the leased grounds within a certain period and spend a set minimum dollar amount. For one of the leases, the shortfall (if any) must be paid to the lessor. See Note 15 — Commitments and Contingencies.
The Company’s ground leases have remaining terms ranging between 16 to 73 years, including options for the Company to extend the terms. These leases expire between 2040 and 2097, which include all lease extension options available to the Company. Certain of the Company's ground leases contain options to lease additional parcels of land at the Company's option within a specified period of time.
On March 23, 2024, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a ground lease agreement (the “SJC Lease”) at SJC with the City of San Jose. The SJC Lease covers approximately 7 acres of property that contains an approximately 38,000 square foot hangar, approximately 19,000 square feet of office space, and approximately 108,000 square feet of apron and ramp space. The property at SJC includes additional land on which the Company intends to develop approximately 28,000 square feet of additional hangar space. The initial term of the SJC Lease will be 20 years from May 1, 2024, and contains a mutual option to extend the SJC Lease an additional 5 years following the expiration of the initial term.
On March 27, 2024, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a ground lease agreement (the “ORL Lease”) at ORL with the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (“GOAA”). The ORL Lease covers a parcel containing approximately 20 acres of land at ORL. The initial term of the ORL Lease will be 30 years from expiration of construction period, with lease payments commencing contemporaneously with the term. The ORL Lease contains options exercisable by the Company to extend the ORL Lease an additional 20 years based on the Company's total expenditures in subsequent phases at ORL.
Supplemental consolidated cash flow information related to the Company’s leases was as follows:
Supplemental consolidated balance sheet information related to the Company’s leases was as follows:
The Company’s future minimum lease payments required under leases as of March 31, 2024 were as follows:
Lessor
The Company leases the hangar facilities that it constructs to third-party tenants. These leases have been classified as operating leases. The Company does not have any leases classified as sales-type or direct financing leases. Lease agreements with tenants are either on a month-to-month basis or have a defined term with an option to extend the term. The defined term leases vary in length from to years with options to renew for additional term(s) given to the lessee. There are no options given to the lessee to purchase the underlying assets.
The leases may contain variable fees, most commonly in the form of tenant reimbursements, which are recoveries of the common area maintenance and operating expenses of the property and are recognized as income in the same period as the expenses are incurred. The leases did not have any initial direct costs. The leases do not contain any restrictions or covenants to incur additional financial obligations by the lessee.
Tenant leases to which the Company is the lessor require the following non-cancelable future minimum lease payments from tenants as of March 31, 2024:

Bonds payable
On May 20, 2021, Sky formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Sky Harbour Capital LLC (“SHC”), as a parent corporation to its wholly-owned subsidiaries that operate each of the aircraft hangar development sites under its ground leases. SHC and these subsidiaries form an Obligated Group (the “Obligated Group” or the “Borrowers”) under a series of bonds that were issued in September 2021 with a principal amount of $166.3 million (the “Series 2021 Bonds”). The members of the Obligated Group are jointly and severally liable under the Series 2021 Bonds. SHG and its other subsidiaries are not members of the Obligated Group and have no obligation to repay the bonds.
The Series 2021 Bonds are payable pursuant to a loan agreement dated September 1, 2021 between the Public Finance Authority (of Wisconsin) and the Borrowers. The payments by the Borrowers under the loan agreement are secured by a Senior Master Indenture Promissory Note, Series 2021-1 issued by the Obligated Group under an indenture (the “Master Indenture”). The obligations of the Borrowers are collateralized by certain leasehold and subleasehold deeds of trust or mortgages on the Borrowers’ interests in the development sites and facilities being constructed at each airport where the Borrowers hold ground leases. In addition, the Borrowers have assigned, pledged and granted a first priority security interest in all funds held under the Master Indenture and all right, title and interest in the gross revenues of the Borrowers. Furthermore, Sky, Sky Harbour Holdings LLC and SHC have each pledged as collateral its respective ownership interest in any of the Borrowers.
The Series 2021 Bonds have principal amounts, interest rates, and maturity dates as follow: $21.1 million bearing interest at 4.00%, due July 1, 2036; $30.4 million bearing interest at 4.00%, due July 1, 2041; and $114.8 million bearing interest at 4.25%, due July 1, 2054. The Series 2021 Bond that has a maturity date of July 1, 2036 was issued at a premium, and the Company received bond proceeds that were $0.2 million above its face value. The bond premium is being amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the life of the bond. Interest is payable on each January 1 and July 1, commencing January 1, 2022. Principal repayments due under the Series 2021 Bonds are paid annually, commencing July 1, 2032.
On March 22, 2023, SHC elected to modify the scope of the Series 2021 Bonds pursuant to the terms of the Master Indenture, in order to reallocate a portion of the proceeds of the Series 2021 Bonds to its project site located at ADS (the “ADS Project”) . In connection with the election to modify the scope of the Series 2021 PABs to include the ADS Project, (i) Addison Hangars LLC (“Sky Harbour Addison”) and OPF Hangars Landlord LLC (“OPF Hangars”) joined as members of the Obligated Group, (ii) Sky Harbour Holdings LLC contributed its membership interest in OPF Hangars to SHC, (iii) SHC pledged its equity interest in each of Sky Harbour Addison and OPF Hangars to the Master Trustee as security for the obligations under the Series 2021 Bonds, (iv) Sky Harbour Addison granted to the Master Trustee a mortgage on its leasehold interest in the real property comprising the ADS Project, (v) OPF Hangars granted the Master Trustee a mortgage on its leasehold interest in the real estate comprising the project located in Opa Locka, Florida, and (vi) Sky Harbour Services LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has agreed to waive all management fees and development fees during the construction period of the projects associated with the Series 2021 Bonds.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s Series 2021-1 Bonds was approximately $125.9 million and $116.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s bonds is estimated utilizing Level 2 inputs including prices for the bonds on inactive markets.

SHG's legal predecessor, Yellowstone Acquisition Company (“YAC”), issued to third-party investors 6,799,439 warrants which entitled the holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”). In addition, 7,719,779 private placement warrants were sold to BOC Yellowstone LLC (the “Sponsor”).

The PIPE Warrants are similar in form and substance to the Company’s Public Warrants.
The Warrants contain an exercise price of $11.50 per share and expire on January 25, 2027. The Company determined the fair value of its Public Warrants and PIPE Warrants based on the publicly listed trading price as of the valuation date. Accordingly, these warrants are classified as Level 1 financial instruments. As the terms of the Private Warrants are identical to those of the Public Warrants, the Company determined the fair value of its Private Warrants based on the publicly listed trading price of the Public Warrants as of the valuation date and have classified the Private Warrants as Level 2 financial instruments.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, 253,703 Warrants were exercised, resulting in approximately $2.9 million of proceeds, of which approximately $1.4 million was receivable by the Company as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, 15,806,640 Warrants remain outstanding.
The closing price of the Warrants was $1.76 and $0.75 per warrant on March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The aggregate fair value of the outstanding Warrants was approximately $27.8 million and $12.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Earnings Per Share [Text Block] |
Basic earnings (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to SHG by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of Class A Common Stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to SHG, adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities, by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive shares using the treasury stock or if-converted method as appropriate. Shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class B Common Stock under the two-class method has not been presented.
Potentially dilutive shares excluded from the weighted-average shares used to calculate the diluted net loss per common share due the Company's net loss position were as follows (in thousands):

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared in conformity with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requirements for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and consequently exclude certain disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).These Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which includes additional disclosures and a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies. In the Company’s opinion, these Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary by management to fairly state the Company’s results of operation, financial position, and cash flows.
Certain historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
|
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include assumptions used within impairment analyses, estimated useful lives of depreciable assets and amortizable costs, estimates of inputs utilized in determining the fair value of financial instruments such as warrants, estimates and assumptions related to right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, and estimates and assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
|
Risks and Uncertainties [Policy Text Block] | Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations have been limited to-date. For most of its history, the Company has been engaged in securing access to land through ground leases and developing and constructing aviation hangars. The major risks faced by the Company is its future ability to obtain additional tenants for the facilities that it constructs, and to contract with such tenants for rental income in an amount that is sufficient to meet the Company’s financial obligations, including increasing construction costs due to inflation and increased borrowing costs to the extent that the Company incurs additional indebtedness.
|
Liquidity and Capital Resources [Policy Text Block] | Liquidity and Capital Resources
As a result of ongoing construction projects and business development activities, including the development of aircraft hangars and the leasing of available hangar space, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. The Company expects to continue to invest in such activities and generate operating losses in the near future.
The Company obtained long-term financing through bond and equity offerings to fund its construction, lease, and operational commitments, and believes its liquidity is sufficient to allow continued operations for more than one year after the date these financial statements are issued.
|
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Consolidation
SHG is deemed to have a controlling interest of Sky through its appointment as the Managing Member of Sky, in which SHG has control over the affairs and decision-making of Sky. The interests in Sky not owned by the Company are presented as non-controlling interests. Sky’s ownership percentage in each of its consolidated subsidiaries is 100%, unless otherwise disclosed.
|
Cost of Construction [Policy Text Block] | Cost of Construction
Cost of construction on the consolidated balance sheets is carried at cost. The cost of acquiring an asset includes the costs necessary to bring a capital project to the condition necessary for its intended use. Costs are capitalized once the construction of a specific capital project is probable. Construction labor and other direct costs of construction are capitalized. Professional fees for engineering, procurement, consulting, and other soft costs that are directly identifiable with the project and are considered an incremental direct cost are capitalized. Activities associated with internally manufactured hangar buildings, including materials, direct manufacturing labor, and manufacturing overhead directly identifiable with such activities are allocated to our construction projects and capitalized. The Company allocates a portion of its internal salaries to both capitalized cost of construction and to general and administrative expense based on the percentage of time certain employees worked in the related areas. Interest, net of the amortization of debt issuance costs and premiums, and net of interest income earned on bond proceeds, is also capitalized until the capital project is completed.
Once a capital project is complete, the Company begins to depreciate the constructed asset on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the life of the asset or the remaining term of the related ground lease, including expected renewal terms.
|
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block] | Leases
The Company accounts for leases under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases. The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease at the inception of the contract. ASC Topic 842 requires lessees to recognize lease liabilities and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets for all operating leases with terms of more than 12 months on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company has made an accounting policy election to not recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and will result in recognizing those lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. When management determines that it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise its options to renew the leases, the renewal terms are included in the lease term and the resulting ROU asset and lease liability balances.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components; the Company has elected the accounting policy to not separate lease and non-lease components for all underlying asset classes. The Company has not elected to capitalize any interest cost that is implicit within its operating leases into cost of construction on the consolidated balance sheet, but instead, expenses its ground lease cost as a component of operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
|
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Warrants liability
The Company accounts for its Warrants (as defined in Note 10 — Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), under which warrants that do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities carried at their fair value and adjusts the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
|
Revenue [Policy Text Block] | Revenue recognition
The Company leases the hangar facilities that it constructs to third parties. The lease agreements are either on a month-to-month basis or have a defined term and may have options to extend the term. Some of the leases contain options to terminate the lease by either party with given notice. There are no options given to the lessee to purchase the underlying assets. Rental revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases (see Note 8 — Leases) and includes fixed payments of cash rents, which represents revenue each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental revenue and the corresponding rent and other receivables are recorded net of any concessions and uncollectible tenant receivables for all periods presented. The Company evaluates the collectability of tenant receivables for payments required under the lease agreements. If the Company determines that collectability is not probable, the Company recognizes any difference between revenue amounts recognized to date under ASC 842 and payments that have been collected from the lessee, including any additional rent or lease termination fees, as a current period adjustment to rental revenue.
Variable lease payments consist of tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance, utilities, and operating expenses of the property, and various other fees, including fees associated with the delivery of aircraft fuel, late fees, and lease termination fees. Variable lease payments are charged based on the terms and conditions included in the respective tenant leases and are recognized in the same period as the expenses are incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, rental revenue includes $379 of variable lease payments. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, rental revenue includes $117 of variable lease payments.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the deferred rent receivable included in prepaid expenses and other assets was $403 and $367, respectively. Rent received in advance represents tenant payments received prior to the contractual due date, and is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities. Rent received in advance consisted of $359 and $241 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company derived approximately 10% of its revenue from tenant. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 the Company derived approximately 45% of its revenue from tenants, including 20% from a single tenant.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Income Taxes
SHG is classified as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes and is subject to U.S. Federal and state income taxes. SHG includes in income, for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, its allocable portion of income from the “pass-through” entities in which it holds an interest, including Sky. The “pass-through” entities, are not subject to U.S. Federal and certain state income taxes at the entity level, and instead, the tax liabilities with respect to taxable income are passed through to the members, including SHG. As a result, prior to the Yellowstone Transaction, Sky was not subject to U.S. Federal and certain state income taxes at the entity level.
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences associated with the differences between the financial accounting and tax basis of the assets and liabilities as well as the ultimate realization of any deferred tax asset resulting from such differences, as well as from net operating losses and other tax-basis carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. When a valuation allowance is increased or decreased, a corresponding tax expense or benefit is recorded.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $0 and the effective tax rate was 0.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized due to the cumulative losses sustained by the Company to date.
