DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF LEASED PREMISES
Section 10.01 - Partial Damage
If the Leased Premises are partially damaged by fire, explosion, the elements, the
public enemy or other casualty, but not rendered untenable in the sole judgment of
LESSOR, the premises will be repaired with due diligence by LESSOR at its own cost
and expense; provided, however, that if the damage is caused by an act or omission of
LESSEE, its sublessee, agents, or employees, LESSEE shall reimburse LESSOR for its
actual costs incurred in repairing the Premises, to the extent LESSOR does not receive
proceeds of insurance for the necessary repairs.
Section 10.02 - Extensive Damage
If the damage shall be so extensive as to render the Leased Premises untenable but
capable of being repaired in sixty (60) days in the sole judgment of LESSOR, the
Premises shall be repaired with due diligence by LESSOR at its own cost and expense,
and the rent payable herein with respect to LESSEE's exclusive space shall be paid
proportionately to the time of such damage and thereafter cease until such time as the
Premises are substantially restored; provided, however, that if the damage is caused
by an act or omission of LESSEE, its sublessee, agents, or employees, LESSEE shall
reimburse LESSOR for its actual costs incurred in repairing the Premises, to the extent
LESSOR does not receive proceeds of insurance for the necessary repairs. During any
such period where LESSEE is responsible for payment for repairs under the terms of
this paragraph, the usual rental shall be payable.
The abatement of rental for the Leased Premises, as aforesaid, shall not be construed
as a waiver of other fees due and payable under the terms of Article VI.
In the event the Leased Premises are completely destroyed by fire, explosion, the
elements, the public enemy or other casualty, or so damaged that they will remain
untenable for more than sixty (60) days in the sole judgment of LESSOR, LESSOR shall
be under no obligation to repair and reconstruct the premises, and rent payable
hereunder shall be paid proportionately to the time of such damage or destruction and
shall thenceforth cease until such time as the Premises are restored to permit

Premises, or other reasonable facilities provided in lieu thereof, LESSEE may give
LESSOR written notice of its intention to cancel this Lease in its entirety or to cancel as
of the date of such damage or destruction such part of this Lease as relates to the
damaged portion of the Leased Premises.

result of an act or omission by LESSEE, LESSOR may, in its discretion, repair the
Premises in which event LESSEE shall reimburse LESSOR for its actual costs incurred
in making such repairs, to the extent LESSOR does not receive proceeds of insurance
for the necessary repairs. During any such period where LESSEE is responsible for
payment of repairs under the terms of this paragraph, the usual rental shall be payable.

10.03, LESSOR's obligations shall be limited to repair or reconstruction of the terminal
building to the same extent and of equal quality as obtained at the commencement of
the operations hereunder. Redecoration and replacement of LESSEE's furniture,
equipment and supplies in the leased area shall be the responsibility of LESSEE unless
damage thereto is caused by the sole negligence of LESSOR, its sublessee, agents or
employees, in which event LESSOR shall be responsible for the redecoration and
replacement. Any such redecoration and refurnishing/re-equipping shall be of
equivalent quality to that originally installed hereunder.

notice. The LESSEE must be in full compliance with the terms of this Agreement
including payment of all rents, fees and charges before serving a notice of termination.
This Lease shall be subject to cancellation by LESSEE after the occurrence of one or
more of the following events:
(A) The permanent abandonment of the AIRPORT as an airline terminal.
Delta07 22
(B) The lawful assumption by the United States Government, or any
authorized agency thereof, of the operation, control or use of the
AIRPORT, or any substantial part or parts thereof, in such a manner as
substantially to restrict LESSEE for a period of at least ninety (90) days
from operating thereon for the carrying of passengers, cargo, express,
property and United States mail.
(C) Issuance by any court of competent jurisdiction of an injunction in any way
preventing or restraining the use of the AIRPORT or any part thereof
materially affecting LESSEE's operations, and the remaining in force of
such injunction for a period of at least ninety (90) days.
(D) The inability of LESSEE to use for a period of ninety (90) days the airfield
on the AIRPORT, including approach areas, runways, taxiways, aprons,
navigational and avigational aids, and lighting facilities, for the landing and
taking off of LESSEE's aircraft, because of fire, explosion, earthquake,
other casualty or acts of God or the public enemy, provided that same is
not caused by negligence or willful acts or failure to act on part of
LESSEE. The inability of LESSEE to use for a period of ninety (90) days
any other premises, facilities, rights, licenses, services, or privileges
leased to LESSEE hereunder, except as otherwise provided hereinabove
or in Article X herein.
(E) The default by LESSOR in the performance of any covenant or agreement
herein required to be performed by LESSOR and the failure of LESSOR to
remedy such default for a period of ninety (90) days after receipt from
LESSEE or written notice to remedy the same; provided, however, that no
cancellation, as above provided, shall be of any force or effect if LESSOR
shall have remedied the default or is diligently proceeding to remedy the
default.
Except for termination pursuant to foregoing Paragraph One of Section (E), LESSEE
may exercise such right of termination by giving not less than sixty (60) days advance
written notice at any time thirty (30) or more days after inception or occurrence of the
event causing the right to terminate, and this Lease shall terminate as the date specified
in the notice. Rental due hereunder shall be payable only to the effective day of
termination.
LESSEE's performance of all or any part of this Lease for or during any period(s) after a
default by LESSOR of any of the terms, covenants and conditions herein contained to
be kept by LESSOR shall not be deemed a wavier of any right on the part of LESSEE to
cancel this Lease for any subsequent failure by LESSOR to so perform, keep or
observe any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof.
Delta07 23
Section 11.03 - Default
LESSEE shall be in default for (1) any failure to make any payment within time required;
(2) any breach of the obligations of this Lease; or (3) abandonment or vacation of
demised premises during the term of this Lease. In the event of default by LESSEE

remedy the same, which notice must specify the deficiency with reasonable particularity,
LESSOR, at its option may do any or a combination of any of the following;

expel LESSEE and those claiming by, through, or under it and remove all
effects forcibly, if necessary, without being deemed guilty of trespass.
(B) Relet the Premises in whole or in part to any tenant or tenants that may be
satisfactory to LESSOR for any duration as LESSOR may obtain. In such
event, LESSEE shall be responsible to LESSOR for any difference

any costs incurred in making such repairs and alterations as are
reasonably necessary to relet the Premises,
(C) Terminate the Lease at any time.
(D) Recover damages for default, whether or not the Lease is terminated.
Other than any failure to make any payment within the time required, no right granted to
or action on the part of LESSOR as above provided shall be of any force and effect if
LESSEE shall have remedied the default or is diligently proceeding to remedy same.
The foregoing remedies shall be in addition to, and shall not exclude, any other remedy
available to either party under law or equity, such as for, but not limited to, business
interruption. The receipt and acceptance by LESSOR of rental payments, fees, and
charges as they become due from LESSEE shall not be construed as a waiver of any
right or remedy LESSOR may have under this Lease.
It is agreed that the full and prompt performance of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement is of the essence, and shall LESSEE be in default of any of the same and
such default has continued for thirty (30) days after written notice by LESSOR setting
forth the particular default claimed, this Agreement shall at the option of LESSOR, be
forfeited and in such event it is expressly agreed that LESSOR may enforce such
forfeiture pursuant to the unlawful detainer statutes of the State of Washington, and,
LESSEE hereby waives all defenses as to the non-applicability of such statutes. It is
further agreed that after service of notices as above set forth, an additional condition to
DeltaV 24
avoid forfeiture shall be payment by LESSEE of LESSOR's costs and expenses,
including attorney's fees, for the preparation and service of such notice. Nothing
contained herein shall release or diminish LESSEE's obligation to pay rent for the full
term of this Agreement save such amount as LESSOR recovers as rent from any
subsequent LESSEE during the term of this Agreement.
As additional and not alternative remedy, optional with LESSOR, should LESSEE be in
default hereunder other than default in the payment of rent, LESSOR may cure or
correct the same and the cost of such action by LESSOR shall immediately become
due and payable from LESSEE, together with interest on said sum at a rate of twelve
percent (12%) per annum, and the non-payment of said sum by LESSEE shall be
adequate grounds for LESSOR to invoke the other remedies as provided in this
paragraph.
Section 11.04 - Cancellation by LESSOR
In addition to the LESSOR's remedies provided in Section 11.03, this Lease shall be
subject to cancellation by LESSOR upon the occurrence of any one of the following

authorized agency thereof of the operation, control or use of the AIRPORT
and facilities, or any substantial part or parts thereof, in such a manner as
substantially to restrict LESSEE, for a period of at least ninety (90) days,
from operating thereon for the carrying of passengers, cargo, property,
and the United States mail.
(H) In addition to the foregoing, all rights, privileges, or interests acquired
hereunder by LESSEE may, at the option of LESSOR and following
Delta07 25
written notice of thirty (30) days, be suspended or finally terminated if such
suspension or termination is found by LESSOR, acting in good faith, to be
necessary to secure Federal financial aid for the development of the
AIRPORT or for the development or promotion of aeronautical operation
thereon.
In any of the aforesaid events, LESSOR may take immediate possession of the Leased
Premises and remove LESSEE's effects. Any rental due hereunder shall be payable to
the date of termination.
It is agreed that failure to declare this Lease terminated upon the default of LESSEE for
any of the reasons set forth above shall not operate to bar or destroy the right of
LESSOR to declare this Lease null and void by reason of any subsequent violation of
the terms of this Lease.
Section 11.05 - Notice of Termination
If any of the events enumerated in Section 11.03 and Subparagraphs A through G of
Section 11.04 shall occur and after due notice LESSEE has failed to cure or correct
same, LESSOR may, at any time thereafter during the continuance of the default,
terminate this Lease by giving thirty (30) days notice in writing, such cancellation and
termination to be effective upon the date specified in the notice. Rental due shall be
payable only to the date of cancellation.

the provisions of Section 2.02, for a period of thirty (30) days after the date of
termination, to remove any or all of its property from the AIRPORT; provided, however,

causes beyond the control of LESSEE excepted.
Delta07 26
Section 12.02 - LESSOR's Rights at Termination
Title to any and all property not removed by LESSEE prior to the expiration of the

requesting LESSEE to do so, and upon failure of LESSEE to do so, LESSOR may
remove, store or dispose of such improvements and property at LESSEE's expense.
