AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO THE LEASE
BETWEEN
THE TOWN OF WICKENBURG
AND
QUADAIR, LLC
This Amendment is entered into by and between the Town of Wickenburg, Arizona, a
municipal corporation (the “Landlord”), whose address for purposes of notice is 155 North
Tegner Street, Suite A, Wickenburg, Arizona 85390 and QuadAir, LLC (the “Tenant”), whose
address for purposes of notice is c/o Adam Jones, 3250 Maverick Road, Wickenburg, Arizona
85390 (collectively, “the Parties”).
RECITALS:
A.
Landlord and Tenant entered into a Lease on July 30, 2004, for a twenty (20) year
term commencing January 1, 2006. The Lease pertains to the lease of one (1)
parcel of land located at the Wickenburg Municipal Airport for the construction
and use of aircraft hangars (the “Premises”). The terms of the Lease are
incorporated herein by reference.
B.
The Lease is set to expire on December 31, 2025. Tenant has elected to exercise
its option to renew the Lease for one additional twenty (20) year term, pursuant to
Paragraph 3.2 of the Lease.
C.
Additionally, in consideration for the changes made to Paragraph 6.5 below, the
lease will be extended for an additional two (2) years and will now expire on
December 31, 2047, with no further option to renew.
D.
Paragraph 5.1 of the Lease provides that rent may be adjusted periodically to
reflect changes in market conditions; however, no rent adjustment occurred
during the initial twenty (20) year term of the Lease.
E.
In recognition of the significant passage of time and the need to align with current
market rates, the Parties agree to adjust the rent for the renewal term to a fair
market rental rate.
F.
Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease to extend the term
and establish the adjusted rental rate for the renewal period.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the following mutual covenants
and conditions, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are acknowledged by the Parties, the Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

1.
The Parties agree to replace Paragraph 3.2 of the Lease with a new Paragraph 3.2
to read as follows:
3.2
Tenant previously held an option under the Lease to renew for an
additional twenty (20) year term. In consideration of the amendments
contained herein, that option is hereby modified to provide for a single
twenty-two (22) year renewal term, and Tenant has exercised said option.
The Lease term is therefore extended and shall run from January 1, 2026
through December 31, 2047, unless sooner terminated as provided herein.
Tenant shall have no further option to renew.
2.
The Parties agree to replace Paragraph 5.1 of the Lease with a new Paragraph 5.1
to read as follows:
5.1
The Tenant shall pay, without notice and free from all claims, the monthly
rent in the amount of $500.00 for the ground that is leased from the Town
of Wickenburg as described in Exhibit "A". This amount may be adjusted
periodically but not more often than once every two years to reflect
changes in the market. This monthly rental rate was derived by applying a
per square foot rental fee of $.05 (five) cents/square foot/per month to the
Tenant's hangar size of 10,000 square feet.
3. 
The Parties agree to replace Paragraph 6.5 of the Lease with a new Paragraph 6.5
to read as follows:
6.5
All improvements and modifications made by Tenant which become
fixtures to the Premises, including hangars, shall become the property of
Landlord, at no cost to Landlord, upon the expiration or termination of this
Lease, free of any security, interest, or claims of any kind from or through
Tenant, or in the alternative, Lessor may require Lessee to remove the
hangars, at Lessee’s expense. If removal is required, Tenant shall
thereafter supply Landlord with copies of any environmental tests or
reports generated in connection with such removal together with the
certification from a licensed engineer demonstrating that the Premises are
free of contamination from any and all hazardous materials on the
property or which may have escaped from equipment on the property.
4.
Effect of Amendment. In all other respects, the Lease is affirmed and ratified and,
except as expressly modified herein, all terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.
5.
Non-Default. By executing this Amendment, the Landlord and Tenant both
affirmatively assert that (i) neither party is currently in default, nor has it been in default at any
time prior to this Amendment, under any of the terms or conditions of the Lease and (ii) any and
all claims, known and unknown, relating to the Agreement and existing on or before the date of
this Amendment are forever waived.

6.
Conflict of Interest. This Amendment and the Lease may be cancelled by the
Town of Wickenburg pursuant to A.R.S. § 38-511.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Amendment to the Lease as of
the date last written below.
