Introduction and Purpose This document establishes the foundational framework for the operation, management, and utilization of the three airports sponsored by Collier County Airport Authority (CCAA or Authority). It sets forth the Minimum Standards to ensure that all aeronautical services and activities conducted at these airports adhere to the highest levels of safety, efficiency, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. These Minimum Standards establish the minimum requirements to be met as a condition for any person conducting or proposing to conduct aeronautical activities on any of the three Collier County Airport Authority (CCAA) Airports. The Collier County Airport Authority's goal in adopting these Standards is to encourage the development of quality aeronautical services and to make the airport available for aeronautical activities on fair and reasonable terms without unjust discrimination. 1 .1 Overview of the Airports Collier County's airport system, comprised of Everglades Airpark (X01), Immokalee Regional Airport (IMM), and Marco Island Executive Airport (MKY), support a diverse range of aeronautical activities, including general aviation & corporate aviation operations, flight training, and aircraft maintenance (see Appendix A for Airport Layouts). Marco Island Executive Airport serves as a gateway for business and leisure travel, accommodating a range of aircraft from small general aviation planes to larger business jets. Everglades Airpark, with its location and proximity to Everglades National Park, caters to a diverse mix of aviation activities, including recreational flying and eco-tourism. Immokalee Regional Airport supports a diverse mix of agricultural, commercial, and general aviation operations, reflecting its role in the regional economy. These Minimum Standards are broadly applicable to all three airports under the jurisdiction of the Collier County Airport Authority (CCAA). The commitment of Collier County to maintaining and enhancing these airports highlights their importance in facilitating economic growth, providing essential transportation services, and ensuring access to the national airspace system. 4 16G 1 Collier County Airport Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities December2025 1.2 Purpose of the Document The purpose of this document is to define Minimum Standards and requirements for commercial aeronautical activity providers at Collier County airports. These standards aim to: • Facilitate fair and equitable access to airport services, resources, and opportunities. • Protect the public interest and investment in airport infrastructure. • Encourage the provisioning of quality and diverse aeronautical services. • Uphold compliance with federal, state, and local regulations governing airport operations. • Promote safety and security across all airport operations. • Ensure the efficient utilization of airport facilities and resources. Minimum Standards are applicable to all entities engaged in any type of commercial aeronautical activities at Everglades Airpark, Immokalee Regional Airport, and Marco Island Executive Airport, ensuring a consistent and comprehensive approach to airport management and operations. This document serves as a dynamic framework, subject to periodic reviews and revisions to reflect changes in industry practices, regulatory requirements, and the strategic objectives of Everglades Airpark, Immokalee Regional Airport, and Marco Island Executive Airport. This framework is essential for safeguarding public interests and fostering a competitive environment that encourages the provision of quality aeronautical services. 1 .3 Legal and Regulatory Framework Under the guidance of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the CCAA has the power to set forth rules, regulations, and Minimum Standards for the operation and use of its airports. This governance is supported by specific Grant Assurances provided by the airport sponsor in exchange for FAA federal funding, which aids in the development of airport infrastructure, such as runways and taxiways. Notably, Grant Assurance 22a obliges the Sponsor to maintain the airport for public aeronautical use under reasonable terms without unjust discrimination towards any type of aeronautical activities, including commercial services. Grant Assurance 22h empowers the sponsor to establish reasonable, non-discriminatory conditions for all airport users, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the airport facilities. These assurances form the legal basis for the Minimum Standards, underscoring the CCAA's commitment to upholding federal requirements and fostering safe, efficient, and equitable airport operating conditions. 5 16G1 Collier County Airport Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities December 2025 In this context, these Minimum Standards serve as foundational entry requirements for entities desiring to provide commercial aeronautical services to the public. These standards are crafted to protect entities currently offering approved commodities and services from facing unfair or irresponsible competition. The development of these Minimum Standards has been a thoughtful process, taking into account the existing aviation role of Collier County Airports, the array of services currently to be offered, anticipated future development needs, and the overarching goal to promote fair competition across each of these facilities. 1 .4 Scope of the Minimum Standards The application of these standards is uniform across all commercial aeronautical service providers, ensuring that the minimum levels of service provided meet or exceed the expectations set forth. This approach not only serves the public interest by discouraging substandard entrepreneurial practices but also aims to preserve the integrity of aviation and aeronautical activities at Collier County airports. By setting these benchmarks, the CCAA endeavors to protect its users and stakeholders, ensuring that the aviation services at the County's airports remain competitive, competent, and safe. Periodic review and updates by the CCAA will adapt these Minimum Standards to meet the changing dynamics of aviation practices, regulatory amendments, and the strategic development needs of the airports. By adhering to these standards, the CCAA will nurture a supportive environment for the sustainable growth of airport services, thereby enhancing user experiences and contributing positively to the aviation community in Collier County. 1 .5 Statement of Policy CCAA will provide a fair and reasonable opportunity, without unjust discrimination, to all qualified people to compete for the right to construct, lease, or sublease appropriate space on any of the Collier County Airports to conduct aeronautical activities that are not currently provided exclusively by the Collier County Airport Authority. Prior to starting any operations, an Operator must enter into an agreement with the Authority. Such agreements will recite the terms and conditions under which the activity will be operated on the Airport, including, but not limited to, the term of the agreement; the rentals, fees, and charges; and the rights and obligations of the respective parties. The granting of such right or privilege, however, shall not be construed in any manner as affording the Operator any exclusive or continuing right of use of the premises or facilities of the Airport, other than those premises which may be leased exclusively to the Operator for the term of the lease, and then only to the extent provided in the written agreement. The Authority reserves the right to lease an existing facility or any portion of an existing facility to a specialized aviation service operator in order to maximize facility use and business opportunities. A lease of this nature shall be at the Authority's sole discretion and shall be considered to meet the minimum facility requirements as defined in Part 3.0 of these Standards. 6 16G 1 Collier County Airport Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities December2025 The Authority reserves the right to designate from time to time the specific areas where individual aeronautical services or a combination of aeronautical services may be conducted, and to determine whether or not there is sufficient, appropriate, or adequate space at the proposed site to meet the minimum requirements established herein. Such determination shall consider the nature and extent of the proposed operation and the sites available for such purpose, consistent with the current Airport Master Plan and the orderly, safe, and efficient operation and development of the Airport. These Standards will not grant any right or privilege that prevents any person from operating aircraft on the Airport, or from performing any services on their own aircraft with their own employees (including, self-servicing maintenance and self-fueling) that it may choose to perform, in accordance with these Standards and established regulations and requirements of the Authority relating to such activity. The Authority reserves the right to amend these Standards from time to time as conditions require. 1 .5 Proprietary Exclusive Activities As provided for in FAA Airport Compliance Order 5190.6B, the Collier County Airport Authority has exercised its proprietary right to provide certain aeronautical activities exclusively, including aircraft fueling, aircraft servicing, and property management. A. Aircraft Fueling: The Authority shall be the sole commercial purveyor of petroleum aviation products and any other type of aircraft fuel that technology may make relevant in the future at all the three Collier County Airports. While the Authority reserves the exclusive right to sell all aviation fuel products at the Airport, FAA regulations allow an aircraft owner to self-fuel their own aircraft provided the aircraft owner meets certain specific criteria as established by the FAA and the airport operator. Accordingly, the Authority has adopted a Self-fueling Permit in the interest of preserving the airport's exclusive fueling rights and to accommodate an owner's aircraft self-fueling activities. An aircraft owner may self-fuel owned or exclusively long-term leased aircraft providing such operation is conducted in accordance with NFPA 30 and 407, Aircraft Fuel Storage and Servicing, latest adopted edition; Advisory Circular 150/5230-4, Aircraft Fuel Storage, Handling, and Dispensing on Airports; Air Transport Association standards for jet fuel quality control at Airports, as applicable and as may be amended; the Authority's Safety Requirements, & Hazardous Materials Management Plan, as may be amended, renumbered or replaced over time. Self-fueling shall be conducted only in those areas designated by the Authority from time to time. Aircraft owners may only conduct self-fueling operations after first obtaining a Self-Fueling Permit in writing from the Authority. 7 16G1 Collier County Airport Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities December2025 A co-op (an organization formed by several aircraft owners for the purpose of self-fueling) is prohibited from engaging in self-fueling operations. B. Aircraft Servicing:The Authority shall be the sole provider of aircraft servicing which shall include, but is not limited to, parking, securing, towing, loading and unloading, fluid level servicing, and other such services that are commonly associated with aircraft arrivals and departures.Aircraft self-servicing, like self-fueling, may also be accomplished by an aircraft owner provided such servicing is accomplished by the aircraft owner themselves, their direct employees, or the exclusive long-term lessee of an aircraft, using resources supplied by the aircraft owner and provided such operations are conducted in accordance with established regulations of the Authority. 8 16 G 1 Collier CountyAirport Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities December2025 2. Definitions and Acronyms This section provides definitions of terms and acronyms used throughout this document to ensure clarity and consistency in the interpretation and application of the rules and regulations governing Marco Island Executive Airport, Everglades Airpark, and Immokalee Regional Airport. • Abandon: To leave or forsake entirely, relinquishing any claim to, right in, or control over property or rights without intention to reclaim or resume ownership or control. • Aeronautical Activity or Service(s): Any activity which involves, makes possible, or is required for the operation of aircraft, or which contributes to or is required for the safety of such operations. • Aircraft Operator:The person or entity having direct control over the operation of aircraft on CCAA airport property. • Air Operations Area (AOA): All airport surfaces used or intended for aircraft takeoff, landing, or surface maneuvering, including runways, taxiways, taxilanes, and apron areas. • Airport Authority (CCAA): The Collier County Airport Authority, responsible for the management and operation of the three County airports. See Appendix B for the contact information for each airport. • Airport Management: Airport operations personnel assigned to each CCAA airport to oversee operations.

Aircraft shall be listed on the FAA website: www.basedaircraft.com as being based at MKY, IMM, or X01. • Commercial Activity: Any activity conducted on airport premises intended for the exchange, trading, buying, hiring, or selling of commodities, goods, services, or property, including activities generating revenue directly or indirectly. • Commercial Vehicle: Vehicles engaged in business activities on airport premises, including but not limited to delivery trucks, shuttles, ride sharing companies, and taxi services. • Drone/UAS (Uncrewed Aircraft System):Any aircraft operated without the possibility of direct human intervention from within or onboard the aircraft. • FBO (Fixed Base Operator): A business granted the right by the CCAA to operate on airport premises, providing aeronautical services such as fueling, hangaring, tie-down and parking, aircraft rental, aircraft maintenance, or flight instruction. The CCAA has claimed the exclusive right to sell fuel at all three airports, and thus, is the only FBO on each airport. • Flying Club:A nonprofit entity organized to provide its members with aircraft for personal use, which may be considered a commercial aviation operator under these standards. 9 16G1 Collier County Airport Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities December 2025 • Leased Aircraft: All leased aircraft are divided into the following two categories: • EXCLUSIVE AIRCRAFT LEASE: Aircraft leased by written lease to a single lessee for a minimum of twelve (12) months, which aircraft may not be rented, re-leased, or used by the owner during the term of the lease. Such aircraft shall be for the exclusive use of, and under the exclusive control of, the lessee. Aircraft leased in this manner may be self-service maintained and self-fueled by the lessee or their direct employees in accordance with these Standards and FAA rules because the lease allows the lessee ownership-like powers and privileges. • NONEXCLUSIVE AIRCRAFT LEASE: Aircraft leased by a written lease to a single lessee for twelve (12) months or less, which aircraft may be rented, re-leased, or used by the owner during the term of the lease. Such aircraft are not for the exclusive use of the lessee and may not be under the lessee's exclusive control. Aircraft leased in this manner shall not be self-serviced, or self-fueled by the lessee. • Leasehold Interest: The rights granted to a tenant or lessee under the terms of a lease agreement with the CCAA for airport property or facilities.This interest provides the tenant with the right to use and occupy the leased property for a predetermined period as specified in the lease agreement, without transferring ownership of the property itself.The value of a leasehold interest is often determined by the terms of the lease, including the duration, rent rate, and any conditions to renew the lease. • Movement Areas: These are sections of the airport where aircraft taxiing, takeoffs, and landings occur, and include runways and taxiways.This is similar to the AOA, but it includes Runways and Taxiways, and not Taxilanes or aprons. • Non-Aeronautical Commercial Activity: Commercial activities that occur at the airport, but do not directly involve aircraft operations. These would be activities such as retail services, car rentals, or office space leasing. These activities are not generally subject to the aeronautical Minimum Standards and are not regulated by the FAA. • Non-Commercial Activity: Activities not intended for profit, conducted for philanthropic, educational, charitable, or personal purposes without financial gain. • Non-Movement Areas: Non-movement areas are parts of the airport where aircraft may be parked, serviced, or where boarding and deplaning of passengers occur. Non- movement areas include aprons, taxi lanes, aircraft gates, and maintenance hangars. • NOTAM (Notice to Airmen): A notice containing essential information for persons involved in flight operations and not permanently published elsewhere. • Operator:A generic term for the entity applying for and/or proposing commercial or non- commercial opportunities at any of the three Collier County Airports. • Public Area: Areas within the airport land that is accessible to the general public without the need for special access or security clearance. • Restricted Area: Portions of the airport designated to prohibit or limit access to authorized personnel only, to ensure safety, security, or efficient operations. 10 16G1 Collier County Airport Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities December2025 • SASO (Specialized Aviation Service Operations): Commercial aeronautical services providing specific aeronautical support services, other than fuel sales. • Self-Fueling: Self-fueling is defined as the fueling of an aircraft by the owner of the aircraft, the owner's employee, or the exclusive lessee of the aircraft, as specifically approved by the Authority, using resources supplied by the aircraft owner. • Self Service Maintenance: Self-service is defined as activities such as adjusting, repairing, cleaning, and otherwise providing service to an aircraft, provided the service is performed by the owner of the aircraft, the owner's employee, or the exclusive lessee of the aircraft, as specifically approved by the Authority, with resources supplied by the aircraft owner. • Self Service Fueling: Self-service fueling is defined as the fueling of an aircraft by the pilot using commercial fuel pumps installed for that purpose. The fueling facility may or may not be attended by the FBO vendor. • Stakeholder: Any individual, group, or organization with a vested interest in the airport operations, including but not limited to tenants, service providers, neighboring communities, and regulatory bodies. • Tenant: Any person, firm, or corporation leasing property at one or more of the Collier County Airports for aeronautical or non-aeronautical purposes. • Through-The-Fence (TTF) Activities: Activities that involve access to the public aircraft landing area to or from residential or commercial privately owned property that is adjacent to, but not part of the Airport. There are no existing TTF agreements authorized at any of the Collier County airports. • Transient Aircraft:Aircraft temporarily at the airport, but not based or regularly stationed at the Airport. • UNICOM: A non-government air/ground radio communication station used at non- towered airports for local pilot communication, typically on the Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF). 11 16G 1 Collier County Airport Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities December 2025 Acronyms: • AOA: Air Operations Area • ARFF: Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting • CCAA: Collier County Airport Authority • CTAF: Common Traffic Advisory Frequency • EPA: Environmental Protection Agency • FAA: Federal Aviation Administration • FAR: Federal Aviation Regulations • FBO: Fixed Base Operator • FDOT: Florida Department of Transportation • NFPA: National Fire Protection Association • NOTAM: Notice to Air Missions • SASO: Specialized Aviation Service Operations • UAS: Uncrewed Aerial System • UNICOM: Universal Communications radio station This list is not exhaustive and can be updated as necessary to reflect changes in airport operations, technology, and regulatory requirements. 12 1 6G 1 Collier CountyAirport Minimum Standards for Commercial Aeronautical Activities December 2025 3: Airport Operating Certificate 3.1 Requirements for Obtaining an Airport Commercial Operating Certificate To ensure the safe and efficient operation of the Collier County Airports, all commercial aeronautical service providers must obtain an Airport Commercial Operating Certificate. This certificate is a testament to the operator's ability to meet or exceed the minimum standards set forth by the CCAA, in alignment with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations and guidelines. No business may operate on any of the Collier County Airports without an Airport Commercial Operating Certificate.

The Collier County Airport Authority operates the Immokalee Regional Airport (IMM), Everglades Airpark(XO 1),and Marco Island Executive Airport(MKY)in Collier County,Florida. As used herein the word"tenant"is not limited to true tenants,but includes any individual,person or entity that has been granted any right, license or privilege to occupy or use any property or to conduct any activity irrespective of the form of the agreement, permit, and/or license that grants any such right, license, or privilege. The Authority hereby instructs the Division Director or Designee to ensure that reasonable efforts are made when negotiating or soliciting agreements (types and classifications listed below)to: 1. Promote market rents that are intended to make the Authority as financially self- sufficient as possible. 2. Minimize operational costs in the leased areas to the Authority. 3. Foster growth of both aviation and non-aeronautical development (where appropriate) on airport property. 4. Attract private capital investment for airport development and renewal. 5. Comply with Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) and State (FDOT) obligations, policies, and regulations. The Collier County Airport Authority may negotiate an agreement, without the requirement to solicit competitive bids,where the Airport land or facilities will be used for an aeronautical purpose. Where the available Airport land or facilities will not be used for an aeronautical purpose, the Collier County Airport Authority must solicit competitive bids in compliance with Collier County's Procurement Ordinance, Ordinance No. 2025-34. The classification of any commercial use as aeronautical or non-aeronautical shall be determined by the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) in accordance with its applicable policies, orders, and guidance. Agreement Classifications The Authority will entertain, at a minimum, the following four Agreement classifications: LEASE AGREEMENTS:Agreements by which the Airport Authority leases land,building and/or facilities with airport tenants who maintain a valid and current lease agreement with the Authority. SUBLEASE AGREEMENTS. These Agreements are used whereby a sub-lessee(in privity with the Airport Authority) subleases some or all of the lessee's rights and obligations to a sublessee. LICENSE AGREEMENTS: Land, buildings and/or facility leases with granted privileges of conducting aviation related or airport support operations. These agreements do not convey any [25-APA-00593/2001113/1]22 Page 3 of 44 16G1 interest in real property or in any personal property. These agreements convey only a bare license that has no interest coupled thereto. These agreements do not create any relationship of landlord and tenant and no licensee has any rights as a tenant. OPERATING AGREEMENTS: Agreements granting the privilege of conducting aviation specifically granted related activities or airport support operations. These are use license agreements that do not convey any interest in real property or personal property. [25-APA-00593/2001113/1]22 Page 4 of 44 16G 1 Agreements Required With the exception of transient(non-based)aeronautical operators,no person, firm, organization, club, or other entity whatsoever shall be permitted to operate any business or commercial activity on any Airport and engage in any commercial or non-commercial activities at the respective Airport without an approved and fully executed lease, sublease, license, or operating agreement with the Authority or fully approved and executed assignment of same. The intent of this requirement is to protect the investment and privileges of all bona fide operations on the Airport and to try to ensure that fees or charges will be required from every similarly situated user of the Airport. Provided, however, that a business may be permitted to continue operation as a "holdover" tenant after the expiration of an approved lease, sublease, license and/or operating agreement while renewal or extension negotiations are in progress if permitted in the original agreement and being conducted in good faith, and where it appears to have the prospects of coming to mutual agreement. The Division Director or Designee shall be the sole judge of whether good faith negotiations with a viable prospect mutual agreement exists. Lease/Operating Agreement Categories 1.

This policy is not all-inclusive and, where exclusions exist, application of professional airport leasing practices shall be applied on a case-by-case basis. Airport property is generally leased on a first come,first served basis,unless specifically exempted in the"Lease Application Process."If multiple parties are interested in leasing an available parcel of Airport property, Authority staff shall seek competitive proposals via public advertisement on the Airport Authority website and/or a newspaper of general circulation after establishing a starting rent using an appraisal process or market analysis to set market value. If competitive proposals are solicited, Airport staff, with the assistance of the Procurement Services Division, will abide by the Procurement Ordinance No. 25-34, and this policy, and will make the final selection based on criteria following under "Lease Application Process" and "Lease Proposal Review." Tenants in good standing whose property adjoins a parcel available for lease (whether vacant or developed) will be given the first opportunity to lease the adjoining parcel. Unless specifically exempted in the "Lease Application Process" or elsewhere in this Policy, all persons or businesses seeking to become tenants at the Airport must first submit a fully completed written application to the Division Director or Designee,together with any additional information which may be requested by the Division Director or Designee, County Management or County Attorney. Lease requests will be reviewed and evaluated according to the stipulations outlined in this Policy, and in terms of whether the proposed use conforms to each of the following overarching goals: 1. The use is shown to be appropriate and consistent with the ALP, Master Plan, and other relevant land use planning documents that pertain to the Airport. 2. The use does not constitute a violation of any Airport Grant Assurances which have been incorporated within a Grant Agreement entered by the Authority. 3. The use complies with all requirements and provisions contained in the adopted policies, procedures and standards of the Authority and Collier County. The information contained in the lease request should provide sufficient detail to enable the Authority to adequately determine a potential tenant's financial standing,their ability to undertake construction in a timely manner (if the tenant is going to build on a vacant parcel), their ability and experience to provide the services to the general aviation public or commercial aviation industry (if the tenant is an aviation-related business), which are described in the proposal, and the amount of investment in and the overall appearance of the facilities that are to be constructed or leased by the tenant. [25-APA-00593/2001113/1]22 Page 7 of 44 16G1 Lease Application Process (Including Subleases and Assignment of Leases) (Note:Parties wishing to rent tie-downs, hangars,or T-hangars solely for short-term (e.g. month- to-month or year-to-year) storage of aircraft, and who do not desire or need significant leasehold improvements or other special accommodations, are exempt from the following requirements.) Any person, group of people, firm, corporation or organization desiring to conduct a commercial activity of any type within the boundaries of the Airport must first secure written authorization from the Authority to do so. Written authorization from the Authority is typically provided in the form of a lease for building space or land area but may also be in the form of an appropriate permit allowing the activity in question to be conducted for a given period time on Airport property. The process for obtaining authorization for a commercial activity from the Authority begins with an applicant submitting a written proposal, or Lease Application, which details the type of operation(s) being proposed. If the proposed commercial activity is non-aeronautical in nature, the Authority shall solicit competitive bids for the proposed commercial activity in accordance with Ordinance No. 25-34. Depending on the term of the lease being sought, or the size, scope, and complexity of the commercial activity,an applicant may be requested by the Division Director or Designee to provide some or all of the following information. In general, longer term lease requests will require more information than shorter term requests. The Lease Application should include the following: 1. A cover letter from the Applicant identifying the name of the business, a description of the services or products to be provided, and the primary contact's name, phone number and email address. 2. A short description of the proposed commercial activity with sufficient narrative to adequately explain the benefits of the activity to the Authority and local community. 3. A business plan that provides sufficient detail about the commercial activity being proposed. 4. The names and contact information(mailing address,phone numbers, email, etc.)of all parties having an interest in the business and those that will be directly responsible for the day-to-day management of the business. The amount and location(if known)of vacant property that the tenant desires to lease (accompanied by a map showing the location of the property in question). 5. The type of facilities which are to be constructed, purchased or leased(whichever is relevant). 6. The purchase price of existing facilities (where relevant). 7. The services to be offered,proposed hours of operation,projected employment broken down by number of permanent and temporary employees, full-time and part-time positions,job titles, average wage or wage scale anticipated to be paid, and the number of aircraft(if any)that are to be based and/or operated at the Airport in conjunction with the business. 8. Evidence of financial capability to provide the services and facilities proposed (this may extend to providing a current financial statement and/or tax returns for the previous 3 years). 9. Evidence demonstrating a history of satisfactory performance of a similar commercial activity at other sites (preferably airports), including dates and location. Record of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding in any past business relationships over the past 10 years. 10. Aeronautical qualifications, including years of experience in the proposed operation,past [25-APA-00593/2001113/l]22 Page 8 of 44 16G1 experience in other related activities, and four professional references. 11. Other information the Authority may require and specifically request. [25-APA-00593/2001113/1]22 Page 9 of 44 16G1 Lease Proposal Review Following receipt of an application to lease or sublease Airport land or facilities, or for an Assignment of Lease, the Division Director or Designee will evaluate the submitted proposal for completeness against the criteria outlined in the Lease Application Process. The Airport Manager may also perform a background investigation relative to the applicant's criminal history, credit worthiness and past business performance. Incomplete proposals will be returned to the applicant. Following review by Authority staff,applications may be denied for one or more of the following reasons: 1. The application is to lease or sublease Airport land or facilities for a non-aeronautical purpose and, therefore, must be competitively bid in compliance with Ordinance No. 25-34. 2. The application does not comply with or meet the provisions of this policy. 3. The applicant or their proposed operations fail to meet the qualifications, standards and requirements enforced by the Authority or Collier County. 4. The applicant's proposed operations or construction activities will create a safety or security hazard. 5. The granting of the application will require unauthorized expenditure of Authority funds, labor, or materials on the land or facilities described in, or related to, the application. 6. The operation is unlikely to provide a positive rate of return. 7. There is no appropriate or adequate available space or facilities on the Airport property to accommodate the activity of the applicant. 8. The proposed operation, development or construction contemplated does not conform to the approved Airport Layout Plan or Airport Master Plan. 9. The development or use of the area requested will result in an unacceptable congestion of aircraft or buildings or will result in excessive interference with the operations of other existing tenants on the Airport, such as preventing free access and egress, or will result in depriving, without adequate compensation, an existing tenant the use of portions of their leased area. 10. A party applying, or having an interest in the business, has supplied false information, or has misrepresented a material fact in the application or in supporting documents, or has failed to make full disclosure on the application. 11. A party applying, or having an interest in the business,has a record of violating the rules and regulations of the Authority, or those of any other airport, or the rules and regulations of any State or Federal Agency. 12. A party applying, or having an interest in the business, has defaulted in the performance of any lease or other agreement with the Authority or any lease or other agreement at any other airport. 13. A party applying, or having an interest in the business, is not sufficiently credit worthy and responsible in the judgment of the Authority to provide and maintain the business to which the application relates, and to promptly pay amounts due under its lease with the Authority. 14. The applicant has committed a crime, or violated a local ordinance, rule, or regulation, which adversely reflects on its ability to conduct the operation applied for, or otherwise renders the applicant unsuitable. 15. Any other reason that would result in an activity deemed not consistent with Authority policy, or not to be in the best interest of the Authority and/or the Florida Aviation System. [25-APA-00593/2001113/1]22 Page 10 of 44 16G1 16. The applicant proposes a"Through the Fence"operation that is inconsistent with Section 136 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012. [25-APA-00593/2001113/1]22 Page 11 of 44 1 6G 1 The diagram shown below delineates the steps of a typical lease application process for review and approval by the Authority. Many of these steps are discussed in greater detail elsewhere in this policy. Depending on the size, scope and complexity of the commercial activity that is being proposed for a given parcel of land or facility, the time-frame to complete the entire application process can vary from eight to sixteen weeks or more.

[25-APA-00593/2001113/1]22 Page 12 of 44 16G 1 SECTION III LEASE RATES,TERMS AND PROVISIONS Rates and Charges FDOT/FAA guidelines require that the Authority be as financially self-sustaining as possible. Whenever possible, rental rates for unimproved Airport land or existing hangars and related facilities used for commercial aviation activities are set at market value of the property in use. Market value will be determined through an appraisal or market analysis of comparable parcels or structures undertaken by the Authority. A rate adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index— Urban (CPI-U) for the southeast US region will be applied to leases on either a regular basis, but no more than annually, between appraisals to facilitate parity between new and longstanding tenants. In an effort to stimulate economic development, support aviation industry growth, and encourage airport property development, the Authority may consider a reduced rate for the following property uses: 1. Large Scale Development. 2. Aeronautical Manufacturing. 3. Substantial aviation-related educational facilities, such as an FAA-certified A&P Program or a Flight Training Program. 4. Any commercial business that creates and maintains multiple new jobs that pay, on average, no less than 115 percent of the average annual wage for Collier County, as determined by the Collier County Office of Business and Economic Development Each Airport tenant, subtenant, licensee or occupant user of the Airport shall pay the then applicable and appropriate rate or fee for such tenancy or use. Operating expenses may also be included in Airport Leases for the cost of upkeep and maintenance of common areas and facilities in and adjacent to the leased areas. A "Rate Structure" updated and approved by the Authority annually will serve as a guide when negotiating fees. [25-APA-00593/2001 1 1 3/1]22 Page 13 of 44 16G1 Terms of Lease A standard Authority lease, where non-Authority funding is used to construct new facilities or to substantially improve Airport land and / or buildings, a minimum of thirty years shall be considered when appropriate to satisfy the business need to fully amortize the capital investment. All Leases: At the expiration of an existing commercial lease, or at any time during the tenure of the lease, the current lessee (or a potential buyer of lessee's interest in the lease) may submit a request to the Authority to renew or extend the terms of the lease, if a renewal or extension is provided for in the original lease. The Authority is not obligated to approve such a request, but will give serious consideration to doing so when it has been shown that: a. The Lessee is in good standing (i.e., compliant with existing lease terms and conditions): b. The Authority has determined that there is no immediate need to use the property for other aviation-related purposes when the current lease expires_ c. The existing/proposed property use is consistent with the Airport ALP, Master Plan, and other relevant land use planning documents. d. The Lessee can demonstrate that they are willing and able to optimize the use of Airport property to the Authority's full satisfaction. e. The Lessee has made additional investments after the lease was executed in leasehold improvements or created additional new positions that exceed any requirements that were originally specified in their lease agreement with the Authority. f. The interests of the public and the community as a whole are best served by the Lessee's continued presence on Airport property. Unless the Lessee is proposing a substantial investment into either the existing improvements or is proposing new improvements, the standard lease term should not be more than 5 years for aviation leases where the improvements should have reverted to the Authority or are already owned by the Authority. Long-Term Leases: The Collier County Airport Authority recognizes that allowing commercial tenants to amortize their investments over a longer period of time can encourage further investment in Airport property. To this end,the Authority will consider entering into leases with a term up to the maximum limit allowed by FDOT or the FAA(the more restrictive limit applying) in those instances where a potential tenant has demonstrated to the Authority's satisfaction that they are prepared to make a significant investment in one or more of the following areas: a. Make a significant initial capital investment in new construction on the property. b. Make a significant capital investment in existing leasehold improvements. c. Create (and maintain) a significant number of new jobs, at higher-than-average wages. d. Make a significant investment in the extension of public infrastructure that will benefit the Airport as a whole (i.e., roads, water, sewer, navigation aids, etc.). The actual term of a lease (in years) will be determined using information supplied by the applicant correlating to each of the following inputs: a. The value(in terms of dollars)the tenant is prepared to invest in new construction and/or improvements to existing aviation or commercial facilities located on the property. b. Fifty percent(50%) of the actual purchase price of existing facilities located on the [25-APA-00593/2001113/1]22 Page 14 of 44 1 6G 1 property that the applicant intends to purchase from the previous tenant. c. The value (in terms of dollars)the tenant is prepared to invest in Airport infrastructure. d. The total number of new employees the company intends to hire over the next five years. e. The average wage that will be paid to the tenant's new workforce. Long-term Leases: Business Retention Considerations. The Authority recognizes the importance of retaining existing businesses that contribute substantially to the local economy. To this end, the Authority may consider entering into a new lease with an existing tenant for a term up to the maximum limit allowed by FDOT or the FAA(the more restrictive limit applying). Long-term Leases: Land Lease Rent Obligation. Obligation to commence payment of the full land lease rate begins on the first of the month, ninety (90) days from the lease agreement approval. Long-term Leases: Timeframe for completing a Site Development Plan or Site Development Plan Amendment Approval. Lessee must secure a Site Development Plan (SDP) or Site Development Plan Amendment (SDPA) approval within 12 months of lease execution, ensuring developments proceed in a timely manner and align with airport and community planning objectives. Long-term Leases: Start and Completion of Construction. Construction must commence within fifteen (15) months of lease execution, with completion timelines specified based on the project scope. Failure to meet these timelines may result in lease termination and forfeiture of rents collected, emphasizing the importance of adherence to agreed schedules. Title to Improvements Title to all fixed improvements constructed or installed on leased or licensed premises shall remain with the Lessee or Licensee during the term, and any renewals thereto, of the Agreement. Upon termination of the Agreement, said improvements shall become the property of the Authority or, at the Authority's sole option, the Authority may require the Lessee to remove said improvements and restore the property to its original condition, all at no cost to the Airport or the County. Materials Terminal Building: For tenants leasing office space within an Airport Terminal Building, the Authority will provide structural maintenance, heat and light, but will not provide janitorial service, revamping or other day-to-day services in any tenant's leased or licensed area unless the applicable agreement specifies that the Authority shall be compensated for such services. Airfield: The Authority will maintain all public use runways, taxiways, and aprons. Ramps and aprons leased or otherwise provided to tenants or any other occupants will be maintained by the tenants or occupants of any description. Land and Building: Tenants may be required to provide all maintenance of land and utility services to leased or licensed land and/or buildings. The Authority shall be sole judge of the quality of maintenance and, upon written notice, may require immediate improved maintenance. If such maintenance is not performed, the Authority may perform such maintenance and invoice the costs of the maintenance to the Lessee, Licensee or occupant. Non-payment of said invoice will be grounds to terminate the agreement that allows the occupant to occupy the property or conduct the activities. [25-APA-00593/2001113/1]22 Page 15 of 44 1 6G1 Assignment/Subletting/Sale of Stock/Sale of Facilities Constructed The operation of any tenant on the airport shall be for the public interest and furtherance of airport activity. Tenants are entrusted with the duty and obligation of providing the public with the highest level of services and facilities, and it is therefore, necessary that the tenant's activities and/or operations be subject to continuing scrutiny by the Authority, and that the tenant always operate in a businesslike fashion,efficiently and always with courtesy to the public and to the staff of the Authority. For these reasons the following shall always be required of tenants: The Authority shall retain total control and exercise sole discretion over the assignment or any method of changing or delivering to others any of the functions to be performed by the tenant,and any such assignment shall have prior written approval by the Authority. The tenant shall not have any right to sell, sublease, assign or transfer a lease without written approval of the Authority. The Authority may require the approval in writing of the managing officers and the chief executive officer of the tenant. The Authority may require that the original owners of the corporation collectively own no less than fifty-one percent(51%) or more financial interest in the assets of the tenant's corporation. The Authority may elect to retain the right to review and approve the manager who runs the day- to-day operations of the facilities under the lease. In the event the Authority is dissatisfied with said manager's performance, the Authority shall notify said tenant of the reasons for such dissatisfaction, and the tenant shall remedy all such items of dissatisfaction identified by the Authority including, but not limited to, replacement of said manager with a new manager acceptable to and approved by the Authority. Failure to correct those problems shall be deemed to be a serious breach of the lease and may be reason to terminate the lease. Tenant may sublease a part of the leased area to others only after first receiving written approval from the Authority, however, sublease tenants shall not sublease to others The Authority shall collect reasonable fees from tenants who lease land, hangars, buildings and/or other airport facilities constructed on airport-leased land. Public Service Goals The Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)contends that it is the prerogative of the airport owner to impose "Minimum Standards" to establish the threshold entry criteria for those wishing to engage in providing aeronautical services to the general public on the airport. Those Minimum Standards adopted by the Authority for a specific airport will automatically be incorporated into each lease in order to ensure the level of public service is of a high quality, consistent with the goals of the Authority. Remedy clauses will be included in all lease agreements for inadequate performance, the quality of which will be determined solely by the Authority. The Lessee or Licensee and all representatives must always deal in the utmost good faith with all members of the staff of the Airport Authority,including its Division Director or Designee. Failure to always deal in the utmost good faith shall be grounds to terminate the lease agreement. [25-APA-00593/2001113/1]22 Page 16 of 44 16G1 Encumbrances The Authority may permit a tenant to subordinate leasehold-owned improvements (NOT LAND) for financing purposes, with a mortgage approved by the Authority. If such an arrangement is permitted the mortgagee may be granted the right to cure any default including the assumption of the lease. This encumbrance provision will assist private investment in financing capital improvements, protect the mortgagee's interest, and does not endanger the interest of the Authority. NOTICE: Obligations to pay rent and charges to the Authority shall not be subordinated. Indemnification and Insurance To the maximum extent permitted by Florida law, the tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Collier County Airport Authority, Collier County, its officers, and employees from any and all liabilities, damages, losses and costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and paralegals' fees, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentionally wrongful conduct of the Lessee or anyone employed or utilized by the Lessee in the performance of this Agreement. This indemnification obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge or reduce any other rights or remedies which otherwise may be available to an indemnified party or person described in this paragraph. This does not pertain to any incident arising from the sole negligence of the Authority. The Tenant shall provide all insurance deemed appropriate by the Authority, as determined by the Collier County Risk Management Division. Taxes Federal, state or local taxes not paid by Lessee or Licensee may be deemed sufficient cause to cancel or terminate the lease. Rules and Regulations Airport rules and regulations shall be a part of each lease. Such regulations may be amended from time-to-time by the Authority including such reasonable and uniform landing fees, rates or charges, as may from time to time be levied for airfield operational privileges and/or services provided at the Airport. Lessee shall also comply with any and all applicable governmental statutes,rules,orders and regulations. A violation of any Airport rule or regulation may be deemed sufficient cause for lease cancellation or termination by the Airport Authority. [25-APA-00593/2001113/1]22 Page 17 of 44 16G1 Appraisals Appraisals may be used for determining the Fair Market Value (FMV)of the highest and best use of land and/or facilities the Airport leases. Appraisals shall be conducted by State Certified General Appraisers. The Authority shall make the selection of the firm to conduct the work but may endeavor to seek reimbursement from the Lessee or Licensee of the appraised property. Once an appraisal is conducted for land and/or facilities,the Authority may apply the appraisal on other similar land and/or facilities for up to five (5) years. If five years have lapsed since an appraisal has been conducted, a new appraisal for that category may be conducted if it is determined that the prior appraisal is out of date. In lieu of appraisals the Authority may,at its option,apply airport industry standards for determining the FMV of granting privileges and leasing land and/or facilities for aviation related or airport support agreements. Variance Prospective tenants who cannot meet the criteria identified in this Leasing Policy may make application for variance through the Authority's Division Director. Upon reviewing justification for such application,the Authority Board may grant a variance by affirmative majority vote during one voting session. Variances are not favored and there must exist compelling reasons for the granting of any variance. The basis for the variance must always be beyond the control of the applicant for the variance. Economic hardship shall never be a valid basis upon which to grant any variance. Performance Bonds Each Lessee or Licensee who enters into an agreement may be required to provide the Authority with a surety bond equal to one year's rental. In lieu of a surety bond, a tenant may be permitted to deposit with the Authority an amount equal to one year's rental. Such money shall be deposited in an interest-bearing trust account. The requirement of a bond permits the Authority to recover damages in the event the tenant is in default. The bond or deposit serves in lieu of a lien by the Authority on the tenant's leasehold interest and is not objectionable from the standpoint of mortgage financing. In addition to rental deposits, construction performance bonds may be required. Relocation of Improvements To protect the long-term interest of the Airport and its Lessees and Licensees,the Authority retains the right to relocate or replace a tenant's improvements at another location in the event property is required for new development or expansion purposes. Zoning All leases shall remain consistent with the Airport Master Plan, FAA & FDOT Airport Development Standards, and the Airport Layout Plan (ALP), as well as the Collier County Comprehensive Land Use Plan. [25-APA-00593/2001113/1]22 Page 18 of 44 16G1 Gross Receipts Language Gross receipts as used herein shall be construed to mean the aggregate dollar amount of all sales made and services performed (whether for cash or credit, or otherwise) of every kind and nature, together with the aggregate dollar amount of all exchange goods, wares, merchandise, and services, valued at the retail market price thereof, as if the same had been sold for cash, or for the fair and reasonable value thereof, whichever is the greater, excluding only: 1. Refunds and discounts to customers, which have been included in gross sales. 2. The amount of any sales, use, and excise taxes levied upon retail sales where such tax has been charged to the customer. Dominant Agreements Any Lease, License or Operating Agreement with the Authority is subject to all existing agreements between the Authority and the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA),the Authority and the State of Florida, and the Authority and Collier County. Leases, Licenses and Operating Agreements are subject to FAA approval, which approval may be withdrawn. Accordingly, the Authority reserves the right to immediately terminate any lease that the FAA has found to interfere with the safe operation and maintenance of the airport, or otherwise conflict with regulations governing public-use airports. Furthermore, and during the time of war or national emergency, the Authority shall have the right to lease the landing area or any part thereof to the United States Government for military or naval or similar use, and, if such lease is executed, the provisions of this Lease insofar as they are inconsistent with the provisions of the lease to the Government, shall be suspended. Other Lease Provisions This Leasing Policy does not include all of the provisions of Airport leases.A copy of the Standard Form Long Term Ground Lease Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit I. Other provisions including, but not limited to, the following may be included in airport agreements: Use and Privileges Obligations of Lessee Obligations of Lessor Leased Area Maintenance Termination Concessions Excluded Vending Machines Trade Fixtures Government Inclusion Notices No liens Hazardous Substances Waivers Right to Develop Airport Headings Construction and Saving Improvements Quiet Enjoyment Arbitration Means of access to the premises Nondiscrimination [25-APA-00593/2001113/t]22 Page 19 of 44 SECTION IV COLLIER COUNTY AIRPORT AUTHORITY HANGAR WAITING LIST POLICY FOR GENERAL AIRCRAFT HANGAR UNITS 1. Waiting List Process: When hangar space is not immediately available for assignment,a wait list shall be established, prioritized by the date of receipt of the application and the non- refundable fee by the Airport.The term"aircraft storage space",as used throughout this policy shall include: A. Enclosed general aircraft T-hangar units B. Enclosed bulk storage or large hangar units C. Enclosed storage units Applicants for aircraft storage space shall contact the Collier County Airport Authority (CCAA) to obtain the then current Hangar Reservation Form (Exhibit "A") (as may be amended from time-to-time). Separate lists for the different sized T-hangars the bulk/large hangar storage, and tie-downs will be maintained in order to properly record those who wish to lease a hangar or hangar space. Applicants must complete the current form, return it to the Authority with a non-refundable reservation fee per hangar, as stated on the most current reservation form. The Operations Department will place the applicant on a waiting list in the order the reservation forms are received. Applicants who do not own an aircraft, but plan to purchase or lease one, shall note this fact on the form. Applicants must be able to occupy an aircraft storage space with the specified, or similar, airworthy aircraft within thirty (30) days of entering into a T-hangar License Agreement. Failure to provide evidence of ownership of an airworthy aircraft within 30 days will result in the immediate termination of the lease agreement. 2. Notification of Available Hangar Space: When an aircraft storage space becomes available (or when it becomes apparent that such space will soon become available), such space will be offered to the applicants on the hangar waiting list on a "first come, first serve" basis. Ranking is determined by date of actual, physical receipt of a completed Hangar Reservation Form with the non-refundable fee. It is the responsibility of the potential tenant to keep the Authority informed of any changes to the point of contact such as, address,phone number, email, etc. Airport staff will attempt to contact the highest ranked applicant up to three (3)times by email or phone. If there is no response to the emails or phone calls within 48 hours,the next ranked person on the wait list will be contacted and offered the hangar. The unreachable potential tenant will be sent a certified letter to which they must respond within two weeks from the date of the certified letter to remain on the list but may be moved to the end of the list. If there is no response within the allotted time,he/she will be removed from the list entirely. Once a potential tenant has been offered a hangar, they have forty-eight (48) hours to accept or decline the offer. If the potential tenant accepts the space, an agreement will be sent by email or standard mail. If the potential tenant fails to submit a signed agreement and/or cannot fulfill the requirements set forth in the below Paragraph 4: "License," they will be removed from the waiting list. [25-APA-00593/200 1 1 1 3/1]22 Page 20 of 44 1 bti 1 The next ranked person on the wait list will be offered the hangar. Those who decline hangar space for the first time will be placed on the bottom of the list unless removal is requested. Those who decline hangar space for the second time will be removed from the list entirely and a follow-up letter verifying deletion from the list will be sent. 3. Aircraft Storage Space definitions: A. General Aircraft T-Hangars: These hangars have door openings at a width of forty-six (46) feet or less. Ranking is based on applicant's position on the waiting list and can accommodate either twin or single engine aircraft. B. Large/Bulk Storage Hangars: These hangars have door openings widths of forty-six (46) feet or more. Ranking is based on applicant's position on the waiting list and can accommodate either single, twin, turboprop, or jet engine aircraft. Bulk hangar fees will be determined by the area taken up by the aircraft. The size will simply be the aircraft's length times the aircraft's wingspan. C. Storage Units: These units are at the end of T-hangars and are for storing aircraft and/or related equipment. Ranking is based on applicant's position on the waiting list. 4. License: Licensee shall provide proof of the following within 30 days of entering into an agreement: A. All aircraft stored in a CCAA hangar must be airworthy. B. All hangars must be occupied by approved aircraft in accordance with this policy. C. Rent shall be established by the Authority and may be adjusted annually. D. First month's rent must be paid in advance prior to the new tenant occupying the hangar. All subsequent rent will also be paid in advance. E. Sub-licensing is authorized subject to the Authority's approval of a sub-license agreement and is limited to a maximum of (6) months in any twelve (12) month period. Hangar tenants may not charge rent at a higher rate then they are being charged. Written approval of any sublease or sublicense must be acquired by the tenant prior to the sublease or sublicensee taking occupancy. A full copy of the sublease agreement shall be provided by the tenant along with an application for the sublease or sublicense. F. The storage of anything other than aircraft, equipment appurtenant to aircraft, vehicles of owners or passenger during flight, is not permitted without the express written consent of the Authority. G. Acceptable proof of aircraft ownership is required. Ownership is defined as owning a minimum of 25% interest in an aircraft or having a fully executed long-term lease (minimum of one-year) for an aircraft. FAA registration records must support the alleged ownership. 5. Emergency Situations: In the event of an emergency, (e.g. hurricane or aircraft accident) any vacant hangar is subject to aircraft temporary occupancy at the discretion of Division Director or Designee, provided such occupancy is to protect the aircraft from potential exposure to loss or damage because of the emergency.

If the Lessor elects not to repair or replace the improvements,then Lessee or Lessor may terminate this Ground Lease by providing notice to the other party within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such casualty. The termination will be effective on the ninetieth (90th) day after such fire or other casualty, unless extended by mutual written agreement of the Parties.

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 for in Section 9 of this Lease,this Lease shall terminate at Lessee's election and Lessee'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. [ 25 - APA - 00593 / 1991353 / 1 ] Page 27144 16G1 15. Assignment. This Ground Lease is personal to Lessee. Accordingly, Lessee may not assign this Ground Lease or sublet any portion of the building constructed on the Leased Land by Lessee without the express prior written consent of the Lessor,which consent may be withheld in Lessor's sole discretion. a. Notice to the Authority: Should the Lessee intend to assign this Lease, sublet the Premises or a portion thereof, sell or encumber its interest in the Lease,the Premises, or in any improvements thereon, or allow any other persons or entities (except Lessee's authorized representatives)to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises, it shall first provide sixty (60) days written request for consent for such alienation to the Authority prior to the date intended for the assignment of the Lease, sublease, sale, use or encumbrance. Consent by the Authority with respect thereto shall not unreasonably be withheld,provided, however,that adequate security deposits and guarantees of the obligations under the Lease, as deemed appropriate in the sole and absolute discretion of the Authority, are executed and delivered. Further, the Authority may condition its consent upon an increase in the Lease rental rate, and may require other conditions or covenants before consenting to an assignment or sublease. Any assignment, sublease, sale, or encumbrance by Lessee 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 to an assignment, sublease, sale or encumbrance does not constitute a further waiver of the provisions under this Lease. b. Grant of Right of First Refusal to the Authority: Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Lessee intends to assign this Lease, sublet the Premises or a portion thereof, sell or encumber its interest in this Lease, the Premises or in any improvements thereon, Lessee shall first offer to assign, sublet, sell or encumber such interest to the Authority under the same terms and conditions offered to the proposed assignee,purchaser, sublessee or mortgagee, in writing, ninety (90) days prior to the date intended for any such assignment of the Lease, sublease, sale or encumbrance. The Authority shall have sixty (60) days within which to exercise its right of first refusal, in writing, or it shall be deemed to have been waived by the Authority. 16. Insurance. The Lessee shall provide all insurance deemed appropriate by the Authority, as determined by the Collier County Risk Management Division, as set forth on the attached Exhibit 'C'.

The occurrence of any of the following events and the expiration of the applicable cure period set forth below without such event being cured or remedied will constitute a "Default by Lessee" to the greatest extent then allowed by law: i. Abandonment of Leased Land or discontinuation of Lessee's operation. ii. Lessee terminates or suspends the design, permitting, construction of the Building for a period of thirty (30) days in any ninety (90) day period, without the written consent of the Authority. iii.

Any lien is filed against the Leased Land or Lessee's interest therein or any part thereof in violation of this Ground Lease, or otherwise, and the same remains unreleased for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of filing unless within such period Lessee is contesting in good faith the validity of such lien and such lien is appropriately bonded. xi. Failure of Lessee to perform or comply with any material covenant or condition made under this Ground Lease, which failure is not cured within ninety (90) days from receipt of Lessor's written notice stating the non- compliance shall constitute a default (other than those covenants for which a different cure period is provided), whereby Lessor may, at its option, terminate this Ground Lease by giving Lessee thirty(30)days written notice unless the default is fully cured within that thirty (30) day notice period (or such additional time as is agreed to in writing by Lessor as being reasonably required to correct such default). However, the occurrence of any of the events set forth above shall constitute a material breach and default by Lessee, and this Ground Lease may be immediately terminated by Lessor except to the extent then prohibited by law. 44, [ 25 - APA - 00593 / 1991353 / 1 ] Page 29144 16G1 b. Remedies of Lessor. i. In the event of the occurrence of any of the foregoing defaults, Lessor, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right to re-enter and remove all individuals, entities and/or property from the Premises. Such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Lessee, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass,or being liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. If Lessee does not cure the defaults in the time frames as set forth above, and Lessor has removed and stored property, Lessor shall not be required to store for more than thirty (30) days. After such time, such property shall be deemed abandoned and Lessor shall dispose of such property in any manner it so chooses and shall not be liable to Lessee for such disposal. ii. If Lessee fails to promptly pay,when due,any full installment of rent or any other sum payable to Lessor under this Ground Lease, and if said sum remains unpaid for more than five (5) days past the due date, the Lessee shall pay Lessor a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of each such payment not paid promptly and in full when due. Any amounts not paid promptly when due shall also accrue compounded interest of two(2%) percent per month or the highest interest rate allowed by Florida law, whichever is higher("Default Rate"),which interest shall be promptly paid by Lessee to Lessor. iii. Lessor may sue for direct, actual damages arising out of such default of Lessee or apply for injunctive relief as may appear necessary or desirable to enforce the performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of Lessee under this Ground Lease, or otherwise. Lessor shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred arising out of Lessee's default under this Ground Lease. c. Default by Lessor. Lessor shall in no event be charged with default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless and until Lessor shall have failed to perform such obligations within thirty (30) days (or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct such default) after written notice to Lessor by Lessee properly and in meaningful detail specifying wherein, in Lessee's judgment or opinion, Lessor has failed to perform any such obligation(s). d. Remedies of Lessee. In partial consideration for the rent charged to Lessee, Lessee hereby waives any claim it may have to direct or indirect monetary damages it incurs as a result of Lessor's breach of this Ground Lease, and also waives any claim it might have to attorneys' fees and costs arising out of Lessor's breach of this Ground Lease.

Lessee may cure any default of Lessor and pay all sums or do all reasonably necessary work and incur all reasonable costs on behalf of and at the expense of Lessor. Lessor will pay Lessee on demand all reasonable costs incurred and any amounts so paid by Lessee on behalf of Lessor, with no interest. e. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to either party is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy will be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given under this Ground Lease or hereafter existing under law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any event of default will impair any such right or power nor be construed to be waived, but any such right and power maybe exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. f. Non-Waiver. Every provision hereof imposing an obligation upon Lessee is a material inducement and consideration for the execution of this Ground Lease by Lessee and Lessor. No waiver by Lessee or Lessor of any breach of any provision of this Ground Lease will be deemed for any purpose to be a waiver of any breach of any other provision hereof or of any continuing or subsequent breach of the same provision, irrespective of the length of time that the respective breach may have continued.
