Through the negotiation process, staff determined that the proposed terms with Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. are

Upon lease termination, Tenant agrees that all right and title to any alterations, additions and improvements made to
the Premises during the Lease term shall vest in the Authority. The Authority reserves the right to cancel or
terminate the lease if the Tenant is found to have defaulted on its obligations, or if cancellation is deemed necessary
by the Authority to implement any phase or portion of any Airport Master Plan adopted by the Authority. Such
option, if exercised, shall entitle the Tenant to compensation for the fair market value of the leasehold interests and
improvements.
The lease agreement with RTH Enterprise, Inc. expired on January 12, 2024, and the tenant has been operating on
an at-will month-to-month basis. Upon approval of the agreement with Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., notice of
termination must be provided to RTH Enterprise, Inc. due to the overlap of property boundaries (see attached
exhibit).
This item is consistent with the Collier County Strategic Plan to encourage diverse economic opportunities and
safeguard taxpayer money by promoting fiscal stewardship and maintaining self-sustaining airports.

tax, shall be deposited in Authority operating Fund (4090), Immokalee Regional Airport Cost Center (192330)

Upon expiration or termination of the Lease Term or any extension thereof agreed to by
the Parties as herein provided, Tenant hereby waives any demand for possession of the Premises or any
structure or improvement then situated thereon, including, without limitation, improvements made at
Tenant’s expense, and Tenant agrees to vacate and return the Premises to Authority peaceably, quietly
and in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and shall deliver the keys to the
Premises to Authority at its offices described above.
Time is of the essence under this Lease.
5. LEASE RENT.
A. Rental Rate. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to pay the stated per square
foot rate for the Premises, as depicted and described on Exhibit “A,” a parcel of land agreed to contain
approximately 536,250 square feet. The lease rental rate to be paid by Tenant for the Premises shall be
$80,437.50 annually (the “Base Rental” at $ 0.1500 per square foot), which shall be paid in equal
monthly installments of $6,703.13, plus applicable sales tax, currently 6% or $402.19, for a monthly total

during the term hereof (the “Due Date”). The obligation to pay the full Rent shall commence ninety (90)
days from the lease agreement approval. If the obligation to pay Rent pursuant to the terms of this Lease
commences on a day other than the first day of the month, the Tenant shall pay rent equal to one thirtieth
(1/30th) of the monthly rental multiplied by the number of rental days of such fractional month.
B. Increase in Rental Rate. The lease rental shall at no time be less than the Base
Rental. The Authority and Tenant, however, agree and stipulate that the lease rental rate may be
unilaterally increased by the Authority, annually in accordance with the Authority’s lease rental rate
adjustment program and leasing policy. If the Authority exercises its right to unilaterally increase the
Base Rental, the Rent shall be adjusted accordingly, though still to be paid in equal monthly installments.
C. Commercial Operating Fee. In addition to rent, Tenant will pay an annual
Commercial Operating Fee, currently $200 annually, per the Authority’s published Rates & Charges,
which may be amended from time to time at the Authority’s sole discretion.
D. Place of Payment. All Rent and fees shall be made payable to the Collier County
Airport Authority, and mailed by first class letter, postage prepaid, or personally delivered, to the
Administrative Offices at 2005 Mainsail Drive, Suite 1, Naples, Florida 34114, or such other address as
the Airports Manager may designate in writing. Payments shall be made in cleared funds by cash, check
or electronic transfer regularly and monthly without notice from the Authority during the Lease Term.
6. LATE FEES AND CHARGES.
A. Right to Legal Proceedings. In the event Tenant fails to deliver to the Authority
the Rent, taxes, fees or information as required to be paid or delivered under the provisions of this Lease
so that they are received by the Authority no later than the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month, the
Authority reserves the right to commence any and all legal proceedings, including default proceedings or
eviction proceedings, in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.
B. Interest Due. If Tenant fails to promptly pay, when due, any full installment of
Rent or any other sum payable to Authority under this Lease, the Tenant shall pay Authority a late
payment charge equal to the late fee stipulated in the approved Rates and Charges.

- 3 -
C. Authority’s Right to Terminate Lease. The inclusion of an obligation for Tenant
to pay the Authority late charges and interest shall not preclude the Authority from terminating this Lease
for Tenant’s non-payment of rent, amounts due for fees, taxes, expenses, or charges, or from enforcing
any other provisions contained herein.
7. RENEWAL.
At the sole and absolute discretion of the Authority, provided this Lease is not in default
prior to the expiration date, the Tenant shall be granted a right of first refusal to lease the Premises from
the Authority at the then existing commercial rental rates for improved property on the Airport, under
terms and conditions as the Authority may offer other prospective tenants for similar facilities at the
Airport, but in no event, shall the rental rate be a lesser amount than than paid by Tenant at the expiration
of the initial forty (40) year Lease Term, and it should be anticipated to be a substantially greater amount.
The Authority shall notify Tenant of its decision whether to lease the Premises following the expiration of
the Lease Term at least two (2) year prior to the end of the Lease Term, unless a shorter notice period is
agreed upon by the Parties. The right of first refusal may not be assigned.
8. CANCELLATION.
The Authority reserves the right to cancel and terminate all or portions of this Lease,
upon giving Tenant not less than six (6) months’ written notice, if cancellation is deemed necessary by
Authority to implement any phase or portion of any Airport Master Plan adopted by Authority. However,
Authority agrees that before such Lease cancellation it may make available and offer to Tenant, for the
balance of the Lease Term, upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, premises
located within the Airport, including structures and improvements, equal to or greater in size than the area
of the Premises. After the Authority gives Tenant notice of its intent to cancel the Lease pursuant to this
provision, Authority shall elect one of the following options:
A. Relocation. If the Authority elects to relocate Tenant pursuant to this provision,
the actual out-of-pocket costs of moving Tenant’s equipment and other property kept on the Premises, to
the new location shall be paid by Authority. The reasonable cost of any buildout required as a result of
the relocation, as well as the repair or replacement of Tenant’s equipment or other property damaged
during the relocation, if not otherwise covered by insurance, shall be paid by the Authority. The cost of
such repair or replacement costs to Tenant’s equipment or other property shall be limited per the caps
provided in F.S. 768.28.
B. Termination. The Authority may terminate this Lease, in which case, as its
exclusive remedy, and in lieu of any other claims for costs, expenses and damages of any kind related to
the proposed relocation and Authority’s election to terminate, the Tenant shall be entitled to
compensation for the fair market value of the leasehold interest, improvements and personal property
taken, as determined by an independent appraiser agreed to by the Parties, which agreement may not be
unreasonably withheld by either Party. If a portion of the Leased Premises is so taken or sold, and as a
result thereof, the remaining part cannot reasonably be used to continue the authorized uses set forth in
Section 9 of this Lease, this Lease shall terminate at Tenant’s election and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent
and perform the other conditions of the Lease shall be deemed to have ceased as of the date of such taking
or sale.
Tenant hereby waives, disclaims and releases all claims for costs, expenses, and damages against
the Authority, except for this payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lease may not be terminated
pursuant to this Section solely to allow the Authority or any other party to take possession of the Premises
16.G.2.a
Packet Pg. 1871 Attachment: IMM-Leasehold Agreement for Hangar Construction-QE_Signed (29040 : Immokalee Airport Land Lease- Quality Enterprises)
-4 -
or any portion thereof for operation of aircraft hangars for lease or sale as aircraft hangar condominium
units. The general intent is to prohibit the Authority from terminating the Lease solely to take over the
operation established by the Tenant.

Tenant, upon payment of the lease Rent and all applicable fees and taxes, and the faithful
performance of such covenants, agreements and conditions required by law, or this Lease, shall and may,

The Authority retains full control over the activities conducted on the Premises by modifying, amending,
and interpreting the Rules and Regulations of the Authority.
B.Leasehold Condominium. Tenant shall have the right to submit the Premises, or
a portion thereof, to condominium form of ownership in the manner set forth herein, and in that event the

Florida Statutes, or other applicable law. This provision shall not be construed to grant to any
condominium unit owner fee title and all rights of condominium unit ownership shall be subject to the
provisions of this Lease.
(2)At Tenant’s expense, the Parties shall affix and incorporate as a part of
the Lease a property description of the Premises that is sufficient to comply with the requirements of
Section 718.401(1), Florida Statutes, for the creation of a leasehold condominium and a survey of the

16.G.2.a
Packet Pg. 1872 Attachment: IMM-Leasehold Agreement for Hangar Construction-QE_Signed (29040 : Immokalee Airport Land Lease- Quality Enterprises)
- 5 -
Tenant’s expense, the Parties shall execute and record in the public records of Collier County, Florida a
memorandum of lease setting forth the property description and the essential terms of the Lease.
(3) Tenant may attach a copy of this Lease to the declaration of
condominium to be recorded in the Public Records of Collier County, Florida.
(4) The Authority is bound by the provisions of Section 718.401(1)(d),
Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time, with respect to the enforcement of a lien for rent.
(5) Subject to Authority approval, any condominium unit owner may sell,
transfer, convey, lease, or grant a license with respect to his/her interest in the condominium unit. Tenant
and the condominium association shall maintain a list of each condominium unit owner and tenants or
licensees of each condominium unit owner, including addresses, telephone numbers and the identification
of their aircraft. A current copy of the list shall be provided on any transfer to the Authority but no less

Premises, including the sale of a condominium unit, to any individual or entity, shall first be submitted for
review and approval by the Authority.

provided Tenant is not in default, Tenant may assign this Lease to the condominium unit owners
association created to act as the governing body for the leasehold condominium on the Premises and upon
acceptance of such assignment and the assumption of all duties and obligations of Tenant as tenant under
the Lease by the condominium association, except that, in the event of such assignment, the Tenant shall
remain secondarily liable for the payment of the Base Rental amount due under the Lease,
notwithstanding such assignment.
(7) The Parties agree to cooperate in performing such acts or entering into
such documents or agreements as shall be reasonably necessary to s ubmit the Premises to the leasehold
condominium form of ownership as provided for and required under Chapter 718, Florida Statutes,
consistent with the terms of this Lease.
C. Non-Exclusive Use. Tenant and its permitted assignees, subtenants, agents,
employees and customers, as well as all Tenant’s approved future owners of individual condominium

of-way and driveways to and from the Premises in common with other airport users. Tenant and its
permitted assignees, subtenants, agents, employees, and customers, including all approved future owners
of individual condominium units on the Premises, have the right to free access, ingress to and egress from
the Premises. The Authority may, at any time, temporarily or permanently close or consent to the closing
of any roadway or other right-of-way for such access, ingress to and egress from the Premises presently or
hereafter used as such. In such a case, a means of access, ingress, and egress reasonably equivalent to

uses of the Premises. The Authority requires that the Tenant, its approved assignees, subtenants, and all
its approved future owners of individual condominium units on the Premises always maintain aircraft in

- 6 -
its hangars; subject to events that may require the relocation of aircraft to another airport during certain
times of the year. In the event, however, that the Authority determines that a unit of a hangar on the
Premises is or has not been used as a hangar for an airworthy aircraft for an extended period, it shall so
notify the Tenant. If the Authority determines that no airworthy aircraft has been stored or maintained in
the Premises for a period more than six (6) months, such failure to maintain an aircraft shall constitute a
non-monetary default subject to the remedies set out in Section 30 of this Lease.
10. LIMITS ON USE

Parties. Commercial aeronautical operators involved in activities such as flight schools or a maintenance
repair and overhaul (MRO) service may be permitted in the office space attached to the hangars with the
prior approval of the Authority. It is specifically agreed that nothing herein contained shall be construed
as prohibiting Tenant, its approved assignees, subtenants, and all approved future owners of individual
condominium units from allowing its own employees, or an approved product service center, from
performing services on their own aircraft in their hangars. All such servicing, maintenance and repair
shall be conducted in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations and applicable law.

other permanent improvements on the Premises, but only in accordance with plans and specifications

accordance with ordinances, guidelines, rules and regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration (the
“FAA”), the Authority, those relevant provisions set forth in the Collier County Land Development Code
and the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances, and as required by all other governmental agencies

- 7 -
automobile parking facilities when necessary or convenient to further the Authority’s management of the
Airport.
I. Exclusive Fueling Rights. The Authority retains exclusive fueling rights at the
Airport. The Authority retains the right and privilege of making distinctions between the types of

J. Tenant’s Hangar Rental Rate. At no time shall the Tenant’s hangar rental rate to
approved subtenants be less than the Authority’s then established hangar rental rate.

shall utilize the Authority’s Airport Tenant Waiting List and allow all persons/entities in the ranked order
established in that List the right of first refusal to any available hangar rental space in Tenant’s possession
at the Airport.
L. Tenant’s Key Personnel. As part of this Lease, the Tenant shall employ a General
Manager that has the expertise to handle the Tenant’s day-to-day business of overseeing the construction
of the hangars, the rental of the hangars to approved subtenants and all other aspects of the Tenant’s
general business activity on the Airport’s Premises. Tenant’s Vice President, Louis Gaudio, shall serve
as the General Manager for Years one (1) and two (2) of the Lease. From Year three (3) onwards, the
Tenant shall hire a full-time General Manager to assume those duties, subject to the Authority’s right to
object to the General Manager proposed for hire. Tenant shall be permitted to subcontract Maintenance
Services to qualified, local firms, that are eligible and meet the safety and security requirements to work
at the Airport. The Tenant’s General Manager is considered an essential or “key” personnel assigned to
the project and shall not be removed without the Authority’s prior written approval; and if so removed
must be immediately replaced with a person acceptable to the Authority. Further, the Authority shall
have the right to direct Tenant to remove and replace the General Manager, with or without cause, if in
the sole discretion of the Authority such removal and replacement is in the best interest of the Authority.
11. CONDITION OF PREMISES AND PERIODIC REHABILITATION.
Tenant accepts the Premises, and all improvements and appurtenances thereto, in addition
to the land, in their present “as is” condition as suitable for the purpose for which the Premises are leased.

its officers, employees, business invitees, subtenants or assigns, in violation of any State, Federal or local
law or regulation, and will decontaminate the Premises at its own expense if a violation of Federal, State
or local law is charged. Tenant shall either document decontamination or provide to the Authority
satisfactory evidence that the Premises is not contaminated. The Premises shall not be deemed to be
decontaminated until the Authority so states in a written document addressed to Tenant.
B. No Liability. The Authority shall not be liable for any damages or loss suffered
by Tenant, or for injuries to persons or Premises.
C. Liability of Tenant. Tenant further acknowledges that no representations as to
the condition of the improvements, structures, paving, or the geology of the soil, on the Premises,

Airport and Premises. If at any time during this Lease, the Premises, leasehold interest, or rental
payments become subject to any federal, state or local property, sales, excise or other tax, Tenant agrees
to assume the payment of such taxes and, if applicable, to include such payments with the rental payments
required hereunder; provided, however, that Tenant shall in no circumstances by obligated to pay any
taxes based on the net income of Authority. Tenant further agrees not to permit any such taxes, excise, or
license fees to become delinquent.
23. SIGNS.
Tenant agrees that it will not allow any signs, cards or placards to be posted or place d on
the Premises except signs acceptable to the Authority. All signs shall be approved by the Authority in

24. ASSIGNMENT, SUBLEASE, SALE AND ENCUMBRANCE.
A. Notice to the Authority. Should the Tenant intend to assign this Lease, sublet the
Premises or a portion thereof, sell, encumber or otherwise transfer its interest in this Lease, the Premises,
or in any improvements thereon, or allow any other persons or entities (except Tenant’s authorized
representatives) to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises, it shall first provide thirty (30) days
written notice and request for consent for such alienation to the Authority prior to the date intended for
the assignment of this Lease, sublease, sale, encumbrance, transfer, occupancy or use. Any such
assignment, sublease, sale, encumbrance, transfer, occupancy, or use shall not be permitted without the
Authority’s prior written consent; provided, however, that adequate security and guarantees of the
obligations under this Lease, as deemed appropriate in the sole and absolute discretion of the Authority,
are provided, executed, and delivered. Further, the Authority may condition its consent upon an increase
in the Lease rental rate and may require any other requirements, conditions, or covenants before
consenting to any such assignment, sublease, sale, encumbrance, transfer, occupancy, or use. Any
assignment of this Lease, sublease, sale, encumbrance, transfer, occupancy or use by Tenant is voidable
and, at the Authority’s election, constitutes a default of this Lease if not accomplished in accordance with
this Section. Further, the consent by the Authority to any assignment of this Lease, sublease, sale,
encumbrance, transfer, occupancy, or use does not constitute a further waiver of the provisions under this
16.G.2.a
Packet Pg. 1885 Attachment: IMM-Leasehold Agreement for Hangar Construction-QE_Signed (29040 : Immokalee Airport Land Lease- Quality Enterprises)
- 18 -
Lease. The Authority shall have the absolute right to review all sublease and condominium sale
agreements, which shall incorporate and include the Airport Lease Manual and all Authority policies,

as new subtenants or condominium unit owners take occupancy in the hangars constructed by Tenant, the
Tenant shall provide the Airports Manager with a listing of all Tenant’s subtenants and condominium unit
owners, including all contact information (names, addresses, telephone numbers) along with a based
aircraft report; which information the Authority shall control and utilize for purposes of site access,
emergencies and such other similar needs.
B. Grant of Right of First Refusal to the Authority: Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event Tenant intends to assign this Lease, sublet the Premises or a portion thereof, s ell or otherwise
transfer its interest in this Lease, the Premises or in any improvements thereon, Tenant shall first offer to
assign, sublet, sell or transfer such interest to the Authority under the same terms and conditions offered
to the proposed assignee, subtenant, purchaser or transferee, in writing, sixty (60) days prior to the date
intended for such assignment, sublease, sale or transfer. The Authority shall have forty-five (45) days
from receipt of the aforementioned written offer from Tenant within which to exercise its right of first
refusal, in writing, or it shall be deemed to have been waived by the Authority. The assignment of this
Lease by the Tenant to the condominium association that operates and manages the condominium, and
individual unit sales of the condominium units, shall not be deemed an assignment that is prohibited by
this Lease or that triggers the Authority’s right of first refusal under this Section 24B.
Failure of Tenant to comply with the foregoing shall be deemed a default under Section
24 of this Lease.
C. Exception: The subleasing of storage space to aircraft owners or operators for
the storage of their aircraft on the Premises and/or the subleasing of office space on the Premises shall not
be subject to the sixty (60) day written notice and request for consent requirement referenced herein;
provided, however, all subleases for the storage of aircraft or office space are subject to the review and
prior written approval by the Airports Manager of the Authority (and such approval may be conditioned
upon such requirements, conditions or covenants as deemed appropriate in the sole and absolute
discretion of the Authority’s Airports Manager). Subleases for the storage of aircraft or office space for a
term in excess of the authority of the Airports Manager of the Authority are subject to the review and
additional prior approval of the Authority (and such approval may be conditioned upon such
requirements, conditions or covenants as deemed appropriate in the sole and absolute discretion of the
Authority).

and absolute discretion of the Airports Manager of the Authority.
E. Assignment of Rent Due. Tenant has the right to assign, sublease or transfer, or
allow others to occupy or use, portions of the Premises subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

Premises), is in default or otherwise violates any terms or conditions of this Lease, and fails to cure the
default or violation within ten (10) days of receiving written notice from the Authority, Tenant and such
assignee, subtenant or transferee (or occupant or user) immediately and irrevocably assigns to the
Authority, as security for the obligations under this Lease, all rent from any assignment, subletting or
transfer (or occupancy or use) of all or part of the Premises. Th e Authority, as assignee for Tenant, or a
receiver for Tenant appointed on Authority’s application, may collect the rent, and apply it toward
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
F. Assignment Relieves Tenant. Upon a valid assignment of this Lease approved in
writing by the Authority, but not upon a sublease, encumbrance or other transfer, the Tenant may, at the
sole discretion and written consent of the Authority, be relieved of all obligations and liabilities arising
from this Lease effective as of the date of such assignment.
G. Assignment by Authority. Authority may assign, hypothecate, mortgage, pledge
or otherwise encumber its interest in this Lease and may employ outside management services for lease
administration to the extent allowable by law.
25. INDEMNIFICATION AND DEFENSE.
To the maximum extent permitted by Florida law, Tenant covenants and agrees to save
and hold harmless and indemnify the Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the Authority and
the Authority’s past and present commissioners, directors, managers, employees, agents, insurers,

representative capacities, by Tenant, any of Tenant’s personnel, employees, agents, suppliers,

improvements. Tenant is responsible for any deductibles.
B. Changes in Policy. Tenant shall provide Authority with notice of any proposed
change to any insurance coverage. The Authority maintains the right to reject a proposed change in
Tenant’s insurance coverage or insurer, and in the event of a policy cancellation, the Tenant is required to

available on the insurance policies, Tenant is responsible to notify Authority thirty (30) days prior to
policy cancellation, non-renewal or material change in coverage.
(6) All of Tenant’s required insurance policies shall be primary and non-
contributory insurance to the Authority’s. Such provision shall appear on the Evidence/Certificate of
Insurance.
(7) The Authority does not represent that the types or amounts of insurance
required herein are sufficient or adequate to protect Tenant’s interests or liability but are only minimum
requirements. Authority reserves the right to require any other reasonable insurance coverage which the
Authority deems necessary depending upon the risk of loss and exposure to liability.
E. Notice. Tenant shall give the Authority prompt and timely written notice of any
claim made or suit instituted of which Tenant is aware that in any way directly, indirectly, contingently,
or otherwise affects or might affect the Authority, and the Authority shall have the right to participate in
the defense of the claim to the extent of its interest.
F. Lapse of Insurance Coverage. If Tenant shall fail to maintain insurance
coverage as required, then the Authority may, but is not obligated to, obtain same and add the cost of such
insurance to next due lease rental payment. If the Authority does so, it may charge interest thereon at the
rate of 18.0 % per annum, or at the maximum interest rate permitted by law in the State of Florida,
whichever is greater, provided, however, that this provision shall not be construed to create an obligation
for Tenant to pay a usurious rate of interest to the Authority, from the time of payment, which shall be
16.G.2.a
Packet Pg. 1889 Attachment: IMM-Leasehold Agreement for Hangar Construction-QE_Signed (29040 : Immokalee Airport Land Lease- Quality Enterprises)
- 22 -
added to the rental becoming due, and shall be collected as an additional charge.
G. The Authority reserves the right in its sole reasonable discretion to increase or
otherwise modify on an annual basis throughout the term of this Lease all the Tenant’s insurance

28. SURRENDER DAMAGES.
A. Personal Property. Upon termination or expiration of this Lease, provided all
amounts due to Authority have been paid, Tenant shall have the right and responsibility to remove all its
personal property exclusive of fixtures that it has maintained on the Premises, which removal shall be
accomplished no later than the termination or expiration date of this Lease. Electrical and plumbing
facilities, air conditioners and other permanently installed fixtures shall not be considered personal

damage caused by Tenant’s occupancy. If Tenant fails to remove its personal property or to repair any
damage done to the Premises by the expiration or termination date, the Authority reserves the right to
remove and dispose of all such personal property abandoned, and to make any necessary repairs to restore
the Premises, at Tenant’s expense.
B. Title to Improvements. Tenant acknowledges that at the expiration, cancellation,
or other earlier termination of this Lease, all buildings and improvements on the Premises become the
property of the Authority, free and clear of all liability and encumbrances, and any further occupancy by
the Tenant will be based on that ownership principle. Tenant further acknowledges that the Authority
may choose to use the Premises for its own purposes and elect not to re-lease the Premises to any other
party.
C. Failure to Surrender Premises. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises to the
Authority on expiration, or after termination or cancellation of this Lease as required by this Section,
Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold Authority harmless from all claims, liability, costs, and damages
resulting from Tenant’s failure to surrender the Premises, includ ing without limitation, claims made by a
succeeding tenant or subtenant.
The duty to defend hereunder is independent and separate from the duty to indemnify, and the
duty to defend exists regardless of any ultimate liability of the Tenant, Authority, and any indemnified
party. The duty to defend arises immediately upon presentation of a claim by any party and written notice
of such claim being provided to Tenant. Tenant’s obligation to indemnify and defend hereunder will
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement until it is determined by final judgment
that an action against the Authority or an indemnified party for the matter indemnified hereunder is fully
and finally barred by the applicable statute of limitations.

A. Termination. If an event of default under this Lease occurs, the Authority shall
have the absolute right, with or without notice or demand, to immediately terminate this Lease and
recover possession of the Premises or any part thereof and expel and remove therefrom Tenant and any
other person occupying the Premises, by any lawful means, and again repossess and occupy the Premises

reason of Tenant's default or of such termination;
B. Continuation After Default. Even if Tenant has breached this Lease and/or
abandoned the Premises, at Authority's option, this Lease may continue in effect, and Authority may
enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including, without limitation, the right to recover
lease rental as it becomes due hereunder; and the Authority, without terminating this Lease, may exercise
all of the rights and remedies of a landlord under the laws of the State of Florida. Acts of maintenance or
preservation, efforts to lease the Premises, or the appointment of receiver upon application of the
Authority to protect Authority's interest under this Lease shall not constitute an election to terminate
Tenant's right to possession.
C. Damages Upon Termination. Should the Authority terminate Tenant's right to
possession or terminate this Lease, the Authority shall have all the rights and remedies of a landlord in
addition to governmental police power, all as provided by the laws of the State of Florida. At its option,
the Authority may recover possession of the Premises and lease it to another tenant, reimburse itself for
any expenses, and apply whatever net rent is derived from this transaction in reduction of the amounts due
the Authority from Tenant in rents and other charges. Such re-leasing activity will be at the Authority's
option, and the Authority has no duty to exercise this option, but if the Authority does, such activity will
not waive or release Tenant from its obligation to pay lease rental under this Lease. Upon termination of
Tenant’s right to possession or of this Lease, in addition to any other rights and remedies to which the
Authority may be entitled under applicable law, Authority shall be entitled to recover from Tenant:
(1) the amount at the time of award of the unpaid rental amount and other
amounts which had accrued at the time of termination;
(2) an amount equal to the amount by which the unpaid rental amount that
would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rent loss
that the Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the total unpaid
rent for the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rent loss
that the Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and
16.G.2.a
Packet Pg. 1892 Attachment: IMM-Leasehold Agreement for Hangar Construction-QE_Signed (29040 : Immokalee Airport Land Lease- Quality Enterprises)
-25 -
(4)any other amount necessary to compensate the Authority for all the
economic losses proximately or consequentially caused to the Authority by Tenant's failure to perform its
obligations under this Lease.
The amounts referred to in (1) and (2) shall be computed with interest at the rate
of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum interest rate permitted by law in the State of
Florida, whichever is greater, provided, however, that this provision shall not be construed to create an
obligation for Tenant to pay a usurious rate of interest to the Authority. The amount referred to in (3)
shall be computed by reference to competent appraisal evidence of the formula prescribed by and using
the lowest discount rate permitted under applicable law.
31.DESTRUCTION AND RESTORATION OF PREMISES.

destruction. The lease rental shall abate during the period of reconstruction but in no event shall abate in
excess of six (6) months from the date of commencement of reconstruction, or Tenant will have the
option to terminate this Lease in which case Authority will retain the insurance proceeds as liquidated
damages. In any event, Tenant shall comply with the requirements of Sections 12, 13 and 14 above.

provision of this Lease including all costs of collection. Attorneys' costs and expenses recoverable shall
include all out-of-pocket expenses and shall not be limited by the Florida Statewide Uniform Guidelines
for Taxation of Costs in Civil Actions.

the Premises, at the Authority’s expense. The Authority agrees to give Tenant no less than ninety (90)
days’ notice of its intention to install the air navigational aids.

41.REMEDIES CUMULATIVE NO WAIVER.
A.Cumulative Rights. The rights and remedies granted to Authority hereunder shall
be deemed to be cumulative and non-exclusive. The failure by Authority at any time to assert any such
right or remedy shall not be deemed to be a waiver and shall not preclude the entitlement to or the
assertion of such right or remedy at a later date.
B.Acceptance of Partial Payments. The Authority may, at its exclusive option,
accept partial or late lease rental payments from Tenant, without waiving any rights concerning collection
of the full amount due, and without waiving the Tenant's default for non-payment. Authority may

terminate this Lease or its right to occupy the Premises. Nothing in this provision shall excuse Tenant
from making timely payments as they are due.

as either party may designate to the other by notice in writing.
43.SEVERABILITY.
In the event any provision of this Lease is determined by a proper judicial authority to be
unenforceable, such provision shall be considered separate and severable from the remaining provision of
this Lease, which shall remain in force and be binding as though such unenforceable provision had not
been included, unless the Authority in the reasonable exercise of its discretion determines that the
provision found to be unenforceable goes to the essence of the Lease and it s absence renders the Lease
defective, then this Lease shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

prior written or oral agreements or understandings, and may be modified only by a writing executed by
the Parties hereto.

certificate of participation, and any and all agreements between the Authority and the FAA, State of
