b. Agreement to Adjust. Operator understands and agrees that the fees specified in Section 6.0l.d. above shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 6.06 below, and that each such adjustment shall result in a change in the calculation of the monthly payments of fees. Fuel flowage fees shall be adjusted as provided herein.

6.04 Delinquency Charge. A delinquency charge of one and one half percent (1 1/2%) per month of the amount due shall be added to any payments or fees required pursuant to this Agreement which are tendered more than ten (10) days after such payments are due.

6.06 Adjustment of Rents and Fees. The Base Rent specified in Section 6.0 l.d. above, shall be adjusted every four years on the anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement according to the following formula:

The rent wil l be adjusted effective the fifteenth day of the month in which falls the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date of this Agreement, and thereafter on the fourth anniversary of the first adjustment. The adjustments will be calculated by determining the consumer price index for all urban consumers (or its closest successor index in the County's judgment) ("CPI-U") for the most current available month prior to the month in which this Agreement's term commences and the CPI-U for the same month of each year thereafter for the entire term of this Agreement. In the event that CPI-U in any fourth anniversary year is greater that the initial index as of the effective date or any subsequent date for adjustment, the annual rental for the following year shall be adjusted accordingly. In the event the CPI-U is no longer published, rent shall be adjusted in accordance with a comparable index as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor. Should the adjustment not yet be available at the time rent is due, Operator shall pay the same amount as they did the preceding year and shall pay the amount of the adjustment within thirty days of receiving written notice of its amount.

It is agreed and understood, however, that notwithstanding the CPI-U, the rent for the Premises shall not be less than $.1831 per year during the Initial Term, nor less than the amount of the rent at the time of the commencement of the first and second Extended Term.

6.07 Records. Operator shall provide and maintain accurate records of fuel dispensed, tie down collection fees, and other services provided by Operator and landing fees collected (if applicable) derived under this Agreement for a period of three (3) years from the date the record is made. County, or its duly authorized representatives, such as a firm of public accountants, at the County's expense, upon reasonable notice to Operator,

605501-2 19

shall have the right at all reasonable times during business hours to inspect and audit the books, records and receipts of Operator, and to verify Operator's fuel sales and any other fees collected pursuant to this Agreement or agreed amendment thereof. Operator shall authorize its suppliers to turn over records of sales made to Operator for purposes of such audits. Financial information obtained by County or its auditors as the result of any audit or inspections shall be treated as proprietary and confidential and will not be provided to the public except as required by law. I f audit by the County reflects a discrepancy of more than seven percent (7%) in the reported fuel dispensed or more than seven percent (7%) in any other fees collected, unless the discrepancy resulted through no fault of Operator, the cost of the audit shall be borne by Operator. In such event, Operator shall be responsible for the total cost of the audit and the payment to Airport of any unpaid fees or charges. In all cases, Operator shall promptly remit any payments determined to be due to the County as shown by such audit. In the event of an audit by the Airport results in any discrepancy, Operator shall have the right, but not the obligation to conduct its own audit to confirm or dispute the results of the County's audit. I f after such audit the parties cannot agree on the discrepancy amount, i f any, the parties dispute shall be resolved in the same manner as provided in this Agreement for the resolution of disputes.

6.08 Rent for the First and Second Extended Term. I f Operator exercises its right to continue this Agreement into the First Extended Term, the rent shall be calculated in the same manner provided for rent in the initial term. I f Operator exercises its right to continue this Agreement in the Second Extended Term, the Base Rent for the Premises shall be determined as follows prior to the initiation of each of the first and second Extended Term. In no event shall the Base Rent be less than the Base Rent for the preceding year. The County will select and notify Operator of the identity of an independent qualified real estate appraiser who shall be a member of a nationally or state recognized appraisal organization, who shall be certified by the State of Colorado to conduct appraisals, who shall have at least ten (10) years of commercial real estate appraisal experience; and who has performed at least one appraisal of airport property. I f the Operator does not accept the County selected appraiser, the Operator may request the parties meet and attempt for a period of thirty (30) days to agree on an appraiser with the qualifications described in this paragraph to determine the then fair market rental value of the Premises. The appraiser shall determine the then fair market rental value of the Premises as set out below.

The appraiser, within ninety (90) days following his or her selection, shall conduct an appraisal to establish the current fair market rental value of the Premises taking into consideration the terms of this Agreement as i f said Premises were vacant, without the improvements placed thereupon by Operator, and were available for lease under the same terms and conditions as this Agreement. The cost of the appraisal shall be borne by the County. A copy of the appraisal shall be delivered to Operator and to County. The fair market rental value set out in the appraisal shall establish the fair market rental value of the Premises.

I f the Operator disputes the determination of the fair market value rental as determined by appraisal, the Operator may obtain at its expense, an appraisal on the same terms and conditions as set forth above, but at the expense of the Operator. Operator shall notify

20 605501-2

County of the identity of the appraiser. I f the County does not accept the Operator selected appraiser, the County may request the parties meet and attempt for a period of thirty (30) days to agree on an appraiser with the qualifications described in this Section. I f the appraised fair market rental value as determined by the second appraisal is within five (5) percent of the first appraisal, the fair market rental value wil l be that as determined in the first appraisal. I f the appraised fair market rental value in the second appraisal is more than five (5) percent different from the first appraisal, then the first appraiser and second appraiser shall jointly select a third appraiser who shall determine the fair market rental value on the same terms and conditions as set forth above at the joint expense of Operator and County. The fair market rental value shall be the average of the two appraised fair market rental values which are closest. Until the fair market rental value is determined, Operator shall pay the Base Rent from the prior year, as adjusted by the change in the CPI-U as set forth herein. Upon determination of the fair market rental value, Operator and County shall reconcile the Base Rent due from the beginning of the term, and any overpayment or underpayment shall be paid within thirty (30) days of such determination. Once the Base Rent is determined for the second Extended Term, it shall be subject to adjustment by the change in the CPI-U as set forth herein.

SECTION 7 C A N C E L L A T I O N AND TERMINATION

7.01 Events of Default. Each of the following, so long as they are material, shall constitute an "Event of Default" by Operator.

c. The filing of any petition, proceeding or action by, for, or against the Operator under any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization. I f the Operator should file a petition for reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Act, Airport may accept further assurances for payment of rent and other obligations hereunder rather than declaring an Event of Default. In the event of Operator's bankruptcy, the payment obligations under the lease provision of this Agreement shall constitute "rent reserved" under Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

605501-2 21

7.02 Termination by Airport: Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01(b) and (e) and Section 7.04, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and failure of Operator to cure, after thirty (30) days County may terminate this Agreement by posting notice of such termination in a conspicuous place on the Premises or by mailing notice of termination to Operator by first class mail, postage prepaid to Operator's last known address. Either party may pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies available regarding a termination by default:

7.03 Right of Successor Services. Subject to section 10.04, should Operator fail to conduct the services required under this Agreement for a period of two (2) consecutive days then, County shall have the immediate right to limited use of Operator's facilities to assure the continuation of the fixed base operation services contemplated under this Agreement.

7.04 Surrender of Premises: At the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Operator shall vacate the Premises in as good condition and repair as at the completion of construction allowing for normal wear and tear, and shall surrender possession of the premises no later than thirty (30) days after the termination of this Agreement. The Airport shall have the same rights to enforce this covenant by ejectment and for damages or otherwise as for the breach of any other condition or covenant of this Agreement.

a. Removal of Personal Property. Subject to any lien County may have against personal property of Operator to secure payment of rent, taxes or other sums due hereunder, Operator may at any time prior to or upon the termination of this Agreement or any renewal or extension thereof remove from the Premises all materials, equipment, and personal property of every other sort or nature installed by Operator thereon, provided such property is removed without substantial injury to the Premises. No injury shall be considered substantial i f it is promptly corrected by restoration to the condition prior to the installation of such property, i f so requested by County. I f Operator fails to remove any such property within 30 days after the termination of this Agreement, the County may remove the property, store the property at Operator's expense, and on three (3) days' written notice to Operator sell such property at public or private sale, or i f it is unsalable, may dispose of it in any other manner without liability. Operator shall be liable for all expenses of such property's storage; sale or removal. Alternatively, County may retain such property and Operator hereby waives all claims against County for any damage to Operator resulting from Airport's retention of any such property.

605501-2 22

b. Transfer of Ownership. Thirty (30) days after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, ownership of improvements constructed by Operator on the Premises shall pass to the County of Montrose, Colorado.

c. Operator acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be entitled to any relocation or other payment whatsoever upon termination of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement.

S E C T I O N 8 INSURANCE, L I A B I L I T I E S AND INDEMNIFICATION

8.01 No Contractual Liability of Individuals. Except as expressly provided in paragraph 8.02(a) below or otherwise provided in this Agreement, no commissioner, director, officer, agent, or employee of either party shall be charged personally or held liable by or to the other party for the breach of any term, condition, covenant, warranty, indemnity or provision of any kind, including any law or regulation incorporated in this Agreement or because of any breach thereof or because of its or their execution or attempted execution.

8.02 Indemnity of Airport for Damage, Injury or Death.

a. Operator shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Airport, the County of Montrose and their respective commissioners, directors, agents and employees (the "Indemnitees") harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, suits, claims, judgments, fines or demands arising by reason of injury or death of any person or damage to any property, including any injury or loss of third parties, including all reasonable costs for investigation and defense thereof (including but not limited to attorney fees, court costs, and expert witness fees), arising out of the acts or omissions (i) incident to this Agreement and/or (ii) the use or occupancy of the Premises by Operator's officers, members, agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors, licensees, or invitees, regardless of where the injury, death, or damage may occur. However, this indemnity shall not apply where such injury, death or damage is the direct result of an intentional act, willful or wanton misconduct or sole and exclusive negligence of Airport the County of Montrose or their respective commissioners, directors, agents and employees. Operator shall give County reasonable notice of any such claims or actions. Operator and County shall provide reasonable assistance and cooperation in defense of such claims. Aircraft, whether owned by, leased by or bailed to Operator are expressly subject to this Indemnity, except in case of loss due to the intentional act or willful or wanton misconduct of Airport. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be construed as a waiver by the Airport or Montrose County of their rights under the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, as amended from time to time.

b. Operator hereby waives subrogation of any insurance against the Indemnitees for all third party claims against it where this indemnity shall apply.

c. County and Operator have provided in this Agreement that Operator shall carry insurance adequate to cover claims covered by this Indemnity and that this insurance coverage shall provide adequate recovery for losses due to injury,

605501-2 23

death and property damage. It is agreed and understood, however, that Operator's obligation to provide insurance coverage under this paragraph or otherwise in this Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed as a cap on or limit to any of Operator's indemnity obligations contained in this Agreement.

d. The provisions of this Section 8.02 shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement and Operator's obligations hereunder shall remain effective notwithstanding such termination or expiration with respect to any loss, injury or damage enumerated within this Section for which Operator has an obligation to indemnify County, irrespective of whether the notice or claim is initiated prior to or subsequent to expiration of this Agreement or Operator's termination hereunder; provided however the obligation as set forth for Operator shall terminate on the third anniversary of the termination or expiration of the Agreement or County's discovery of such claim, damage or condition giving rise to the indemnity obligation hereunder, whichever is the later date. Nothing herein shall be construed as extending or modifying the statute of limitations pertaining to such claim under applicable law.

8.03 Insurance Requirements. Operator shall secure and maintain for the entire term of this Agreement such insurance policies, from companies licensed in the State of Colorado, as will protect itself, County (with County and Indemnities named as additional insured to the extent permitted by law), and others as specified, from claims for bodily injuries, death, personal injury or property damage, which may arise out of or result from Operator's intentional or negligent acts, errors or omissions. The insurance coverage required in this section is in addition to any other insurance or security that may be required under other provisions of this Agreement. The types of insurance coverage, minimum limits, and required endorsements are listed in the Minimum Standards, as the same may be changed from time to time. The provisions, types and limits of coverage shall be amended from time to time to reflect the coverage's and limits customarily provided by and deemed necessary by standards of the insurance industry for insured's and additional named insured's similar in size and business operations to County and Operator. In no case, however, shall the required coverage's or limits be less than those required at the inception of this Agreement, except by mutual agreement of the parties.

8.04 Certificates of Insurance. To provide evidence of the required insurance coverage's, copies of Certificates of Insurance in a form acceptable to County shall be filed with County's Director of Aviation no later than ten (10) calendar days following the initial date of this Agreement.

Failure to file or maintain acceptable Certificates of Insurance with the County is agreed to be a material breach of any contract and grounds for rescission or termination. The Certificates of Insurance shall contain, at a minimum, the following:

a. A provision that coverage afforded under the policies will not be cancelled or materially altered unless at least thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice of such cancellation or alteration has been sent to the County by certified mail, return receipt requested. For purposes of this provision, "materially altered" shall mean a

605501-2 24

change affecting the coverage's required herein, including a change in policy limits as set out in the then-current policy declarations page.

b. Simultaneously with the Certificates, Operator shall file and update as necessary a certified statement as to claims pending against required coverage's, reserves established on account of such claims, defense costs expended and amounts remaining in policy limits.

c. Operator agrees that any insurance policies maintained by Operator on the Premises, or on the buildings and other improvements thereon, or in connection with the provisions of this Agreement, shall contain a waiver of subrogation provision as against County, its agents, employees, invitees, or licensees for any loss or damage which is covered by such insurance.

d. Operator understands and agrees that it is solely responsible for any of its personal property, including Aircraft whether owned by, leased to or bailed to Operator, and that it is solely responsible for the loss or destruction of such personal property. Operator shall provide the insurance coverage that it deems necessary to protect itself against the risk of loss or destruction of such personal property.

8.05 County's Right to Insure. I f Operator fails to provide the Certificates of Insurance or other adequate assurance of the coverage's required under this Agreement, County may procure such coverage's on Operator's behalf within thirty (30) days of County's payment of the same and Operator shall be required to pay County for the cost County has incurred in obtaining such coverage. Operator understands and agrees that the cost to County of obtaining such coverage wi l l probably be much higher than the premiums which would be charged to Operator to obtain such coverage itself. This remedy of County for this default by Operator is separate and independent of any other remedy available to Airport under this Agreement and that County may or may not choose to exercise.

S E C T I O N 9 ASSIGNMENT, SUBLEASE OR CHANGE OF CONTROL

County has entered into this Agreement with the understanding that the Services to be provided under this Agreement are subject to the personal supervision and management of persons who are experienced in the business of Fixed Base Operations and duly qualified under applicable governmental regulations. Therefore, County reserves the right to review and approve any changes in control or management of the Operator to ensure that the public interest in availability of the Services is met. Accordingly, County and Operator agree to the following limitations.

9.01 Subleasing or Assignment. Operator shall not, at any time, assign, transfer, convey, mortgage, pledge, or encumber its interest under this Agreement, or any part of the leased space, to any party without prior written approval of County, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Refusal by the County to approve assignment shall be based upon reasonable and verifiable concerns regarding the assignee's ability, based on experience and financial strength, to operate the FBO as a

605501-2 25

going and progressive concern. In no case wil l assignment be conditioned upon a renegotiation of the terms of the Agreement and any assignment shall allow the assignee to continue to operate under the terms and conditions described herein for the remainder of the term of the Agreement. Any attempted assignment, transfer, or subletting in violation of the provisions hereof shall be null and void and a default of this Agreement. No assignment, transfer, conveyance, or sublease by Operator shall relieve Operator of its primary responsibility for payment of rent and performance of all other obligations provided in this Agreement, without specific written consent by County to such relief. Any transfer of control of Operator or of Operator's operations, whether by merger or consolidation, or transfer of shares or membership interests shall constitute an assignment under this Section 9.01.

9.02 Change in Ownership of Airport.

EXHIBIT A MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR THE PROVISION

OF COMMERCIAL AERONAUTICAL SERVICES AT THE MONTROSE

REGIONAL AIRPORT

605501-2 34

MONTROSE REGIONAL AIRPORT MINIMUM STANDARDS

ADOPTED August 4,2003

REVISED December 5» 2005

Minimum Standards and Requirements for ttie Provision of

Commercial Aeronautical Services at the

Montrose Regional Airport

I. Purpose

The purpose of these minimum standards is to : 1) Encourage the provision of high quality products, services, and facilities to

airport users, 2) Encourage the development of quality improvements at the airport, 3) Promote safety, 4) Promote the economic health of airport businesses and 5) Promote the orderly development of airport property.

These minimum standards specify the standards and requirements that must be met by any entity desiring to engage in one or more aeronautical activities at the airport.

II . Introduction

The Montrose County Board of County Commissioners ("County)" owns and operates the Montrose Regional Airport ("Airport"). To encourage growth and development of the Airport by ensuring adequate aeronautical services and facilities for Airport users, the County has established these standards and requirements (the Minimum Standards") for provision of certain commercial aeronautical services at the Airport.

The following sections set forth the Minimum Standards for a person or persons, partnership, company, trust or corporation ("person" or "Operator'), based on the Airport and providing one or more commercial aeronautical services at the Airport. The Minimum Standards do not apply to the County itself. These Minimum Standards are not intended to be all-inclusive, as the operator of a commercial venture who is based on the Airport will be subjecl additionally to applicable federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances and other similar laws or regulations including Airport Rules and Regulations pertaining to all such services, and to the terms of its Lease, License, or permit to do business at the Airport, as discussed below.

Permission from the County is a prerequisite to providing any commercial aeronautical service on the Airport. Permission must be in writing and may be of two types:

(1) a written agreement, properly executed by Montrose County and the Operator, establishing a tenancy on the Airport ("Lease");

(2) a License & Use Agreement ("License") for Specialized Aviation Service Operators ("SASOs") operating their own-airport facilities as sublessees.

The provisions ofthe Lease, License or Permit, however, will be compatible with the Minimum Standards in effect at the time of issuance or as later amended and will not change or modify the Minimum Standards themselves. These Minimum Standards are deemed to be included as part of all Leases, Licenses or Permits.

If the specific commercial service provided is not contemplated or covered herein, the person should approach the County to negotiate the terms of the required lease or license.

These minimum standards expressly forbid "through the fence" commercial operations except those to which the County has previously committed by written agreements made in August 2001. The County's obligation to make the airport available for the use and benefit of the public does not extend to providing access from adjacent property. Such "through the fence" operations can adversely affect the ability of the airport to sustain itself financially, result in unfair competitive situations, and contribute to loss of control with respect to airport access. SASOs operating through the fence pursuant to August 2001 agreements with the County shall be required to comply with these Minimum Standards.

Leases, Licenses and Permits in effect on the date of adoption of these minimum Standards will remain in effect for the proscribed terms. Any operator currently engaged in a commercial service will be allowed to continue to do so, however upon renewal or expiration of any Lease, License, or Permit, or upon any change in the nature or scope of any Operator's business, the Operator or Lessee shall be required to come in compliance with these standards. No existing Operator shall be allowed to engage in new or expanded activities after the adoption of these standards without meeting all the requirements appropriate for the activities contemplated

These Minimum Standards may be amended by the County at its discretion from time to time as conditions require Before these Minimum Standards are amended, all licensed Operators at the Airport will be given written notice of the proposed amendments. A hearing will be held no less than ten (10) or nor more than thirty (30) days after the date of said written notice. Any Operator may appear at the hearing in person or by counsel and state any objections to such proposed amendments. Such amendments shall affect Leases, Licenses and Permits then existing between the County and Operators, and Operators will be required to come into compliance.

I I . Statement of Policy

The County's goal, in establishing these Minimum Standards, is to assure an adequate minimum level of service to aviation users, to foster competition at the Airport, to put all FBOs and SASOs on an equal footing in qualifying and competing for available Airport facilities and the furnishing of selected aeronautical services, and to avoid unjust or prohibited discrimination between FBOs and SASOs.

Where the words "standards" or "requirements" appear, it shall be understood that they are modified by the word "minimum". All Operators will be encouraged to exceed the "minimum". No operator will be allowed to operate under conditions that do not meet the "minimum".

Contingent upon its qualifications, its meeting the established Minimum Standards, the execution ofa Lease, License or Permit by the County, and the payment of rentals, fees and privilege of providing the service(s) selected on the Airport as specified in the Lease, License or Permit, The granting of such right and privilege, however, shall not be construed in any manner as affording the Operator any exclusive right of use of the premises and facilities and the Airport, other than those premises which may be leased exclusively to it, and then only to the extent provided in a written agreement. The County reserves and retains the right for use of the Airport resolutions, ordinances, codes, minimum standards and other regulatory measures pertaining to such use. The County further reserves the right to designate the specific Airport areas in which the specific aeronautical services may be conducted. Such designation shall give consideration to the nature and extent ofthe operation and the land and improvements available for such purpose, consistent with the orderly and safe operation of the Airport.

HI. Definition of Fixed Base Operators and Specialized Aviation Service Operators

A commercial aeronautical service provider is a person engaging for compensation in provision of a service which involves, makes possible, or is required for the operation of aircraft, or which contributes to, or is required for the safe conduct and utility of such aircraft operations.

A commercial aeronautical service provider may be classified as either a Fixed Base Operator (FBO) or a Specialized Aviation Services Operator (SASO) (references below to "Operators" may encompass both FBOs and SASOs or may refer only to FBOs or to SASOs, as the context indicates). A Fixed Base Operator is further defined as an entity maintaining and operating facilities at the Airport for the purpose of providing one or more of the following services:

(1) engaging in the retail sale of aviation fuels;

(2) performing other aircraft line services.

A Fixed Base Operator shall be required to provide aircraft airframe and engine repair maintenance services either directly or by provision of a letter agreement with a Board of County Commissioners approved SASO on the airport to provide such services. It will remain the ultimate responsibility of the FBO to insure such services will be available.

Section Two of these Minimum Standards includes a more detailed list of the aircraft line services and aircraft maintenance services which FBOs must provide. FBOs may also engage in other aeronautical services as identified in their lease or license.

A Specialized Aviation Services Operator is defined as a person maintaining facilities at the Airport for the purpose of providing one or more of the following services;

(1) specialized aircraft repair services (radios, painting, upholstery, propellers, instruments, accessories, etc.);

(2) specialized commercial flying services;

(3) flight training;

(4) aircraft sales;

(5) aircraft airframe and engine repair and maintenance;

(6) aircraft rental;

(7) aircraft charter and air taxi service;

(8) aircraft ground handling;

(9) food service specifically for aircraft.

Section Three of these Minimum Standards sets out additional specific standards for SASOs

Where applicable Federal Certification standards exist, the Specialized Aviation Services Operator shall provide sufficient equipment, supplies, and availability of parts required for certification as a Federal Aviation Administration approved station.

IV. Prequalification Requirements

At the time of its application, the prospective Operator shall provide to the Director of Aviation, in writing, the following information, and thereafter, shall provide such additional information as may be requested by the County.

A. Intended Scope of Services

As a prerequisite to the granting of an operating privilege on the airport, the prospective Operator must submit a detailed description of the scope of the intended operation, and the means and methods to be employed to accomplish the contemplated operation, in order to provide high-quality service.

2. If any person or entity holding or controlling, directly or indirectly, any ownership, voting, management or debt interests (actual or contingent) ("cross-ownership") in any on-airport commercial service provider (aeronautical or non-aeronautical) is involved in the ownership or management of the potential operator, provide complete information about the extent and nature of such cross-ownership.

Before beginning operations, the prospective Operator must enter into a Lease or License with the County reciting the terms and conditions under which it will do business on the Airport, including but not limited to, the term of agreement, the rentals, fees, and charges, the rights, privileges and obligations of the respective parties, and other relevant covenants. Such provisions of the Lease or License, however, will neither change nor modify the Minimum Standards, nor be construed in a way to make the Lease or License less demanding than these Standards,

2. Such a Lease or License shall contain all provisions required by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA" ) as a condition of any Federal Grant to the County for the Airport. A list of lease terms required to be included in all leases is attached and marked "Attachment 1."

3. The maximum term of any lease for land having access to the airport runways and taxiways shall be twenty (20) years except for Fixed Base Operators whose maximum term will be forty (40) years, or as amended from time to time by the Board of County Commissioners.

B Site Development and Maintenance Standards

1. Physical Facilities

(a) The minimum space requirements as provided in Sections Two and Three of these Minimum Standards shall be satisfied.

(b) All paving and building shall comply with the then-current Airport Development and Construction Standards and all applicable local building

codes and requirements. Any such construction shall be approved in writing by the County before construction begins. (c) The Operator shall provide a paved walkway other acceptable all weather surface to be approved in writing by the Airport prior to installation within the leased area to accommodate pedestrian access to the Operator's office; a paved aircraft apron with tie-down facilities within the leased area sufficient to accommodate its services and operations, restrooms and telephone facilities.

(d) Landscaping of facilities is required. Each FBO or SASO will be required to provide a plan for landscaping its area to be approved by the County and maintained by the FBO or SASO in a neat, clean and aesthetically pleasing manner, all in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for the Airport. In the case of an existing structure, planted landscape improvements will not be required were it is not practical.

(e) If construction on the leased premises or alteration of existing or future structures on the leased premises is planned, Operator shall comply with the notification and review requirements of Federal Aviation Regulation Part 77 and other government entities as may be required.

2. Maintenance

(a) All building maintenance on non-County -owned facilities shall be the Operator's responsibility.

(b) Operator shall be responsible for trash removal, sewage, grass mowing, snow removal, landscape maintenance, utility line maintenance, and pavement maintenance within its leased premises.

(c) Operator shall maintain all premises in a clean, sanitary condition and at the expiration of the lease term shall return said premises to the County in this condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

C. Personnel

During all operating hours, the Operator shall employ and have on duty trained personnel in such numbers and with such certificates and ratings as are required to provide services established by the Minimum Standards set forth, in an efficient manner, for each aeronautical service being performed, and shall provide a responsible person authorized to act on its behalf to supervise its operations. A list of contacts shall be supplied to the

Director of Aviation including after hour's phone numbers. This list shall be updated when any change occurs.

The individual managing the operations of the Fixed Base Operator shall have at least five (5) years experience in the period of eight (8) years immediately preceding such application, having been engaged in the business of a Fixed Base Operator on an airport at least equal size, facilities, and activity as the Montrose Regional Airport.

D. Bond

The Operator shall post a performance bond in a form acceptable to the Montrose County Attorney in the amount equal to at least 10% of the annual rental established and agreed upon. Bond may be waived by the County Attorney if Operator can demonstrate financial means.

E. Insurance

Insurance shall be provided and paid for by the Operator in the amounts specified in the most current Insurance Requirements on file with the Director of Aviation Montrose County must be named as an additional insured. A certificate of insurance or a copy of the insurance policies involved will be furnished to the Director of Aviation, or designated representative and 30 days advance written notice of any change to any policy shall be given to the Director of Aviation or Designated representative. Coverage may be provided through primary or excess policies The insurance company, or companies, writing the requested policy, or policies, shall be licensed to do business in the State of Colorado.

Where more than one aeronautical service is proposed, the minimum limits will vary (depending upon the nature of individual services in such combination) but will not necessarily be cumulative in all instances. For example, if three (3) types of services are to be provided, it would not be necessary for the Operator to carry insurance policies providing the aggregate or combined total of the minimum limits for each type of operation; however, if one of the selected services required passenger liability coverage or hangar keeper's liability not required in either of the other two (2) categories, the Operator would be required to provide insurance on the applicable exposures. As a further example, the minimum limit for property damage on a combination of services would be the highest minimum limit stated in the grouping chosen. Because of these variables, the applicable minimum insurance coverage on combinations of serv ices will be discussed with the prospective Operator at the time of its application or otherwise during lease negotiations.

All insurance that the Operator is required by the County to carry and keep in force shall include the County and all County personnel, officers and agents as additional insured. The Operator shall furnish evidence of its compliance with this requirement to the Director of Aviation with proper certification that such insurance is in force and shall furnish additional certification as evidence of changes in insurance not less than ten (30)

days prior to any such change, if the change results in a reduction or increase. In the event of cancellation of coverage's the underwriter shall give the County ten (30) days prior notice of cancellation and all operations shall cease. The applicable insurance coverage shall be in force during the period of any construction of the Operator's facilities and/or prior to its entry upon the Airport for the conduct of its business.

The Operator shall also furnish evidence of its compliance with the Colorado Statues with respect to Workmen's Compensation and Unemployment Insurance (where applicable). Lapses in insurance coverage may result in denial of access to the Airport.

F. Airport Access and Security

Airport access and security shall be maintained at all times in accordance with standards established and required by the Director of Aviation, FAA, TSA or other governmental entity. The Operator is also responsible for its employees', vendors', and agents' compliance with the Airport Security Program as maybe amended from time to time.

G. Motor Vehicles on Airport

The Operator shall control the on-Airport transportation of pilots and passengers of transient general aviation aircraft using the Operator's facilities and services. The Operator performing this service with motor vehicles driven on the Airport shall do so only in strict accordance with Airport Rules and Regulations, applicable federal, state and municipal laws, ordinances, codes or other similar regulatory measures now in existence or as may be hereafter modified or amended. The Operator takes responsibility and assumes all liability for the actions of any party, supplier, member, agent or individual that the Operator allows upon the airport's movement areas or any area within the airport perimeter fence.
