AIRPORT PROPERTY LEASE AGREEMENT
This Property Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) is executed to be effective the First (1st)
day of January, 2019 (the “Effective Date”) between the CITY OF BUCKEYE, an Arizona
municipal corporation (“Lessor”), and Spur-N-Rotor, Inc., a Neveda corporation (“Lessee”).
Lessor and Lessee may be referred to jointly as “Parties,” and each separately may be referred to
as a “Party.”
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Lessor is the owner and operator of the Buckeye Municipal Airport
generally located at the intersection of Yuma and South Palo Verde Road, City of Buckeye,
Maricopa County, Arizona (the “Airport”); and
WHEREAS, Lessor has the right to lease, license and grant the use of property and
facilities on the Airport and has full power and authority to enter into this Lease in respect
thereof; and
WHEREAS, Lessor desires to lease to Lessee, and Lessee desires to lease from Lessor,
that certain real property at the Airport located at 3000 South Palo Verde Road, and described as
SOUTHEAST SECTION OF THE QUAD HANGAR, consisting of a total of approximately FOUR-
THOUSAND ONE-HUNDRED SEVENTEEN (4,117) square feet of hangar space as set forth in
Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Premises”); and
WHEREAS, Lessor desires to lease the Premises to Lessee on the terms and conditions
set forth herein;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and
agreements herein contained, the Parties do hereby undertake, promise and agree, each for itself
and its successors and assigns, as follows:
1. LEASE.
Lessor hereby leases the Premises to Lessee, subject to all easements and rights of way
that may encumber the Premises, and further subject to all operational and use restrictions and
other terms and conditions set forth in this Lease.
1.1 Right to Use Premises. Lessor agrees that so long as Lessee shall timely pay the
Base Rent and other charges required to be paid hereunder, and perform all of its other
obligations under this Lease, Lessee shall peaceably have and enjoy the use of the Premises
without hindrance from Lessor. Lessee specifically acknowledges that Lessee has inspected the
Premises prior to entering into this Lease and agrees to accept the Premises in an "as is, where is"
condition without any warranty or representation from Lessor, either express or implied, of any
kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Premises, including, but not limited to, any
TAS:cmy 3396629.1 11/12/2018
1
City of Buckeye Property Lease Agreement (SPUR-N-ROTOR, INC.) January 1, 2019
warranty of merchantability, habitability, or fitness for any particular or specific purpose, and all
such warranties are hereby disclaimed. Should Lessee desire any inspection report,
environmental assessment, survey, creation of a legal description, drainage report, or any similar
study, Lessee shall be responsible for the same at Lessee's sole expense.
1.2 Substitution of Premises. In addition to Lessor’s other rights set forth in this
Lease, Lessor has the right (but not the obligation) to substitute Comparable Areas for all or any
portion of the Premises, and any additions, alternations or improvements thereon, should Lessor,
in its reasonable discretion, determine that taking of the Premises, any portion thereof or any
improvement thereon, is required for other Airport purposes, and there exists no appropriate
alternative. In the event Lessor makes the determination to exercise its rights to substitute, all
title, right and interest to any portion of the Premises taken shall immediately vest in Lessor.
Furthermore, Lessor may require Lessee to vacate any portion or all of the Premises taken. For
the purposes of this Section 1.2, the term “Comparable Areas” is defined to mean other facilities
at the Airport, or any additions or extensions thereof, similar in size to the Premises, brought to
the same level of improvement as the Premises and having the same or similar usefulness to
Lessee as the portion taken. Lessor shall bear all expenses of bringing the substituted area to the
same level of improvement as the Premises, and of moving Lessee’s improvements, equipment,
furniture and fixtures to the substituted area. If any of Lessee’s improvements, equipment,
furniture or fixtures cannot be relocated, Lessor shall replace, at Lessor’s expense, such non-
relocatable improvements and other property with comparable property in the Premises, and
Lessor shall be deemed the owner of the non-relocated improvements and other property, free
and clear of all claims of any interest or title therein by Lessee, or any other third party
whomsoever. It is the specific intent of this Section 1.2 that Lessee be placed, to the extent
possible, in the same position it would have been, had Lessor not substituted new premises for
the Premises; provided, however, that Lessor shall not be obligated to reimburse Lessee for any
damages, including lost profits or revenues, due to such substitution. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to avoid disruption to Lessee’s business.
1.3 Access. Lessee is granted the right of reasonable access to and from the Premises
via such portions of the Airport as are or may be necessary to allow Lessor to conduct its
business operations permitted herein at and on the Premises. Lessor reserves the right to
designate the location of such access and to change its location from time to time, as Lessor
deems reasonably necessary and appropriate.
1.4 Permitted Uses. Subject to the provisions of this Section 1.4, Lessee may use the
Premises for the storage and operation of its airplane, related ancillary storage and office
administrative uses related to the aircraft storage and specialized commercial flying services.
1.5 Prohibited Activities. Lessee shall not use or permit its agents, employees,
contractors, invitees, licensees or customers to use the Premises or the Airport for any use that is
in violation of the Airport Rules and Regulations, the Airport Minimum Standards, any matters
of record, or applicable laws, rules, regulations and operating policies of any governmental
authority, including Lessor, or for any other activity or operation that does not have advance,
TAS:omy 3396629.2 11/28/2018
2
City of Buckeye Property Lease Agreement (SPUR-N-ROTOR, INC.) January 1, 2019
written approval of Lessor’s Airport Manager. Lessee’s use of the Premises is subject to all
applicable laws, rules and regulations of any governmental authority, and to Lessee’s compliance
with the Airport Minimum Standards and Lessor’s applicable code and regulations. Lessee shall
not perform maintenance or repairs that would include use or exposure of petroleum products
(oil, fuel, hydraulics, etc.) within the hangar. All such activities shall only be permitted outside
of the hangar in a designated area as determined by mutual agreement of the Lessor and Lessee.
1.6 | Continuous Operation. Upon commencement of business operations at and on the
Premises, Lessee shall designate an on-site manager for the term of this Lease who shall be
available to Lessor and Lessee’s customers during normal business hours. Lessee also shall
provide its services and operate its business, at a minimum, during normal business days, and
otherwise as necessary to accommodate customer and special event requirements.
1.7 Lessee Acknowledgement. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that its obligations
to pay Base Rent and all other charges due and owing under the terms hereof shall be absolute
and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstances whatsoever, including, without
limitation: (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which Lessee may
have against Lessor or the United States of America or anyone else for any reason whatsoever;
(ii) any liens, encumbrances or rights of others with respect to the Premises; (iii) the invalidity or
unenforceability or lack of due authorization or other infirmity of this Lease or any lack of right,
power or authority of Lessor or Lessee to enter into this Lease; (iv) any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceedings by or against Lessee, or any other person; or (v) any other
cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any future or present law notwithstanding,
it being the intention of the Parties hereto that all rent being payable by Lessee hereunder shall
continue to be payable in all events and in the manner and at the times provided herein.
2. TERM.
2.1 Initial Term. The term of this Lease shall be for a period of FIVE (5) years,
commencing at 12:00 A.M. on the Effective Date, January 1, 2019, and terminating 11:59 PM.
on December 31, 2023 thereafter (the “Term”).
2.2 Renewal Term(s). Provided Lessee is not then in default of this Lease and subject
to approval of Lessor, Lessee shall have the option of extending the Term for Two (2) additional
periods of TWO (2) years each (an "Extension"). Lessee may exercise an Extension by giving
written notice to Lessor of its desire to do so no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration
of the Term, as set forth in Section 2.1 herein. If Lessee has properly notified Lessor of its desire
to exercise an Extension and Lessor approves in writing, then Lessee's Extension of the Term of
this Lease shall become effective and all references herein to the "Term" shall mean the initial
term as extended.

are nonexclusive. Lessor may, in its sole discretion and at any time, permit third parties to

such activities itself, provided that such activities do not require or materially interfere with
Lessee’s use of the Premises.

City of Buckeye Property Lease Agreement (SPUR-N-ROTOR, INC.) January 1, 2019
4. RENT.
4.1. Base Rent. Lessee agrees to pay Lessor rental for the use of the Premises at the
annual amount of TWELVE-THOUSAND THREE-HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE DOLLARS
($12,351.00) (or approximately TWENTY-FIVE CENTS ($0.25) per square foot per month)
for the Quad Hangar space (the “Base Rent”), payable in equal monthly installments of
ONE-THOUSAND TWENTY-NINE DOLLARS AND TWENTY-FIVE CENTS ($1,029.25). The
Base Rent shall be payable in advance and without any prior demand therefor and
without any abatement, deductions or set-offs whatsoever, and tendered in lawful
currency of the United States, either by check or electronic transfer.
(a) Lessee shall receive credit against the Base Rent for Lessee funds expended on
improvements and repairs to the Premises with the prior written permission of the
Public Works Director, provided the Public Works Director finds the
improvements and repairs are reasonable in his professional opinion, Lessee
provides quotes for repairs prior to executing any work, and Lessee provides paid
invoices reflecting the expenditures of funds related to the necessary repairs to the
Premises.
(b) Lessee shall only pay for the premises as described in Section 4.1 above as part of
the rent to the Lessor. Lessee shall pay all other fees as listed in the Airport
Schedule of Fees in Exhibit B of this agreement, including, but not limited to Fuel
Flowage, FBO and/or SASO permits, aircraft storage (outside of leased hangar
space), etc.
4.2. CPI Increases. The annual Base Rent paid by Lessee shall be increased (but never
decreased) on every TWELVE (12) month anniversary of the Effective Date of this Lease
by the percentage equal to the greater of THREE PERCENT (3%) or the percentage that the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) (as defined below) increased during the immediately
preceding twelve (12) month period ending ninety (90) days prior to the adjustment
period; except, however, that in no case shall any single, 12-month rate of increase
exceed FIVE PERCENT (5%). For purposes of this Lease, CPI means the United States
Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics Consumer Price Index for all Urban
Consumers (CPI-U), U.S. City Average (1982-1984=100). If at any time CPI ceases to
exist, Lessor may substitute any official index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
or by a successor or similar government agency as may then exist and which in Lessor’s
reasonable business judgment shall be most nearly equivalent to the CPI.
4.3. Market Adjustments to Base Rent. Reserved
4.4. Airport Rates and Charges Schedule. Lessee or its subtenants, as applicable, shall
pay the most current Airport Rates and Charges at the time of receipt of service or use of

TAS:cmy 3396629.2 11/28/2018
5
City of Buckeye Property Lease Agreement (SPUR-N-ROTOR, INC.) January 1, 2019
without prior notice or approval of Lessee. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor
may amend the Airport Rates and Charges Schedule at any time at Lessor’s sole
discretion, and that no fee shall apply to the use of the Premises or access to the Premises.
4.5. Payment.
4.5.1 The first payment of Base Rent shall be paid upon the delivery of this
Lease, for the period from the Effective Date until the end of the calendar month in which the
Effective Date occurs, prorated on the basis of the number of such days to the total number of
days in said month. Thereafter all Base Rent payments shall be paid in monthly installments, in
advance, on the first day of each calendar month (the “Base Rent Due Date”). On each such
date, Lessee shall pay the full Base Rent payment.
4.5.2 No payment to or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than that which is
due and payable under the provisions of this Lease at the time of such payment shall be deemed
to be other than a payment on account of the earliest payment due, nor shall any endorsement or
statement on any check or payment prejudice in any way Lessor’s right to recover the balance of
such payment or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease or by law.
4.5.3. All payments and reports required by this Section 4.5 shall be remitted to
the following address by the due date(s) specified hereinabove:

Rent or any other charge due and owing to Lessor in full on or before the applicable due date,
Lessee shall be responsible for interest on the unpaid installment at the rate of eighteen percent
(18%) per annum from the due date until payment in full is made. In addition, in the event any
installment of Base Rent is paid more than ten (10) days after the due date, a late penalty of ten
percent (10%) of the amount of such delinquent Base Rent installment shall be due and payable
in addition thereto.
4.7 Taxes. In the event any governmental authority shall impose a tax or imposition
based upon any Base Rent payments or any other sums paid or owing hereunder or the receipt of
such payments by Lessor, then Lessee shall pay such amounts to Lessor at the same time and in
addition to payments hereunder, which amounts may include, but are not limited to, any or all
rental, transaction privilege, sales, excise or other similar tax except income taxes. Lessee’s
TAS:cmy 3396629.2 11/28/2018

obligation to pay such amounts together with any interest thereon and/or penalties therefor, shall

5. PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE.
5.1 On or before the Effective Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor an amount equivalent
to two (2) months Base Rent, or Two-THOUSAND FIFTY-EIGHT DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS

5.2 The Performance Guarantee, at the election of Lessor, may be applied in
reduction of any loss and/or damage sustained by Lessor by reason of the occurrence of any
breach, nonperformance or default by Lessee under this Lease without the waiver of any other
right or remedy available to Lessor at law, in equity or under the terms of this Lease. If any
portion of the security deposit is so used or applied, Lessee shall, within five (5) days after
written notice from Lessor, deposit with Lessor immediately available funds in an amount
sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount. In the event of a sale or other
transfer of the Premises by Lessor, Lessor shall transfer the remaining balance (if any) of the
Performance Guarantee to Lessor’s successor in interest, whereupon the transferor Lessor shall
be released from liability to Lessee for the return of such Performance Guarantee. Unless this
Lease is terminated as a result of Lessee’s default, upon termination, Lessor shall return to
Lessee all portions of the Performance Guarantee which were not applied by Lessor as permitted
above. Lessor shall have no obligation to maintain a separate account for such security deposit
and shall have no obligation to pay interest thereon.

hypothecate its interest in this Lease or any right or interest hereunder, or sublet the
Premises or any part thereof, without the prior consent of Lessor; provided, however, any
assignment other than an assignment as security in conjunction with or as part of a
mortgage or deed of trust or an assignment by means of a foreclosure or trustee’s sale
thereunder shall require Lessor’s reasonable prior written consent. In the case of an
assignment (other than an assignment as security), the assignee must expressly assume in

other legal entity, the transfer of any ownership interest in such entity resulting in a change in the
present control of such entity by the person or persons owning a majority of the ownership

stock is traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, the transfer of Lessee’s stock shall not
constitute a Transfer requiring Lessor’s consent; or (ii) the sale of twenty-five percent (25%) or
more in value of the assets of Lessee.
9.4 Non-Disturbance. Lessor agrees, for the benefit of all subtenants of all or any part

11.1.2 The failure of Lessee to perform any of its other obligations under this
Lease, provided that Lessee does not cure such failure within thirty (30) calendar days after
delivery by Lessor of a written notice of such default; provided, however, if a cure of the default
reasonably requires more than thirty (30) calendar days to complete, then the time to cure shall
be extended so long as the cure is being diligently pursued.
11.1.3 The filing of any mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other lien or any kind
against the Premises because of any act or omission of Lessee which lien is not discharged, by

Lessee may be entitled, are hereby specifically waived to the extent permitted by law; or
11.2.4 With or without terminating this Lease, Lessor may re-let the Premises or
any portion thereof.
11.3. No Implied Termination. Lessor shall not be deemed to have terminated this
Lease unless Lessor shall have notified Lessee in writing that it has so elected to
terminate this Lease. Lessee hereby waives all claims based on Lessor’s reentering and
taking possession of the Premises or removing and storing the property of Lessee and
shall save Lessor harmless from all losses, costs or damages occasioned thereby. No such
reentry shall be considered or construed to be a forcible entry by Lessor.
11.4. Lessor’s Current Damages. Lessor is authorized to make such repairs,
refurbishments or improvements to the Premises as may be necessary for the purpose of
attempting to re-let the Premises, and the costs and expenses incurred in respect of such
repairs, redecorating, refurbishments and improvements shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor
within five (5) business days after receipt of Lessor’s statement. If Lessor exercises any
of the remedies stated above, Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee all damages
incurred by Lessor by reason of the Event of Default, which shall include, without
limitation, (i) the equivalent of the amount of the Base Rent and all other payments which
would be payable under this Lease by Lessee for the remainder of the term if this Lease
were still in effect, less (ii) the net proceeds of any re-letting by Lessor after deducting all
of Lessor’s expenses in connection with such re-letting, which shall include, without
limitation, repossession costs, repairs, redecorating, refurbishments or improvements to
the Premises, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees, and legal expenses. Lessee shall
pay such current damages to Lessor, in the amount set forth in the preceding sentence
(hereinafter called the “Deficiency”), in monthly installments on the days on which the
Base Rent would have been payable under this Lease if this Lease were still in effect. All
amounts collected by Lessor from subtenants shall be credited against Lessor’s damages.

Lessor shall have collected any monthly Deficiency as set forth above, Lessor shall be
entitled to recover from Lessee, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on demand, as final
damages for the applicable Event of Default, the sum of (a) the then present worth (at a
discount at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum) of (i) the aggregate of the Base Rent
and all other amounts to be paid by Lessee hereunder for the unexpired portion of the
term of this Lease (assuming this Lease had not been terminated), less (ii) the amount of
such loss that could have been reasonably avoided, plus (b) repossession costs, Lessor’s
expenses in connection with any attempts is may have made to re-let the Premises (which
shall include, without limitation, repairs, refurbishments or improvements to the Premises
and brokerage commissions), attorneys’ fees, legal expenses, and all other damages
incurred by Lessor as a result of such Event of Default. In determining the amount of
loss that could reasonably be provided, rents to be paid by subtenants pursuant to Section
9.4 and other reasonably projected rental income from leasing the Premises shall be taken
into account.
11.6. No Waiver by Lessor. No waiver by Lessor of any breach or default by Lessee in
the performance of its obligations under this Lease shall be deemed to be a waiver of any
subsequent default by Lessee in the performance of any of such obligations, and no
express waiver shall affect an Event of Default in a manner other than as specified in said
waiver. The consent or approval by Lessor to or of any act by Lessee requiring Lessor's
consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Lessor's consent
or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by Lessee.
11.7. Content of Default Notice. Any default notice tendered to Lessee hereunder shall
be deemed to be sufficient if it is reasonably calculated to put Lessee on notice as to the
nature and extent of such default, and is made in accordance with Section 19 herein.
11.8. Limitation on Exercise of Termination Remedy by Lessor. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 11.2 hereinabove, if an Event of Default occurs,
Lessor shall not have the remedy of terminating this Lease or of taking possession of the
Premises unless: (i) the Event of Default consists of a failure to pay the Base Rent or
other amounts owed to Lessor; or (ii) Lessor has no other remedy that is adequate to
protect Lessor’s interests. Other remedies that are available to Lessor include self-help
and recovery of damages and nothing in this Section 11 shall limit the exercise of any
such other remedy.
11.9. Waiver of Landlord’s Lien. Lessor hereby waives all statutory or common law
landlord’s lien rights with respect to personal property located on the Premises.
11.10. Cancellation. This Lease may be cancelled pursuant to the provisions of Arizona
