AGREEMENT. It is agreed by and between the City of Chandler, an Arizona municipal corporation (“CITY”), and the above-named tenant (“TENANT”) that CITY rents to TENANT, and TENANT rents from CITY, as of the above-stated “Effective Date,” the above-designated City-owned T-shade or Tie-down storage space (the “Premises”) located at the Chandler Municipal Airport (“Airport”), on a month-to-month basis, subject to TENANT’s full and strict compliance with all of the terms and conditions stated in this Aircraft Tiedown/ T-shade Storage Agreement (this “Agreement”). The Premises shall be used solely for the storage of TENANT’s operational aircraft, which is identified in the Basic Information set out in Section 1 above (the “Basic Information”) by its “N” number.

AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION. Prior to taking occupancy of the Premises, TENANT shall provide documentation reasonably acceptable to the Airport Manager of TENANT’s ownership or other legal interest in the Aircraft, including, but not necessarily limited to, a copy of the current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Certificate of Aircraft Registration, applicable State registration or entity Articles of Organization/Incorporation. If TENANT only has a temporary registration for the Aircraft, or if any change of the Aircraft ownership occurs, or if the Aircraft is lost, stolen or destroyed, TENANT shall have ninety (90) days, or such additional time as approved in writing by the Airport Manager, in which to acquire a permanent registration for the Aircraft or to identify in the Basic Information and store on the Premises a different aircraft in which TENANT holds a verifiable interest.

AUTHORIZED USER. TENANT may allow an authorized user (“AUTHORIZED USER”) to use the Premises after providing written notification to the Airport Manager as to the identity, address and telephone number of the person named as an AUTHORIZED USER and the relationship of the AUTHORIZED USER to TENANT. An AUTHORIZED USER must be one of the following: (a) TENANT’s spouse; (b) a member of TENANT’s immediate family over the age of 18 years; or (c) if TENANT is an organization or business, TENANT’s designated representative authorized to act on behalf of TENANT in the use or storage of the Aircraft. 2 An AUTHORIZED USER is subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as TENANT, but has no right of use or occupancy of the Premises greater than or independent from that of TENANT and may not continue to use or occupy the Premises in the event TENANT’s right to use or occupancy of the Premises under this Agreement is terminated for any reason. The authority of a person identified as an AUTHORIZED USER to access and use the Premises (a) may be withdrawn at any time by TENANT upon written notice to CITY or (b) may be terminated by CITY in accordance with Section 23 of this Agreement. No other person shall have authority to independently access and use the Premises; however, nothing herein shall preclude TENANT from having an invited guest accompany TENANT in the use of the Premises.

TERM. The term of the rental under this Agreement shall be on a month-to-month basis. The Agreement shall renew automatically each month without action by either CITY or TENANT, unless terminated pursuant to Section 23 below.

RENT. Rent shall be due and payable, without demand, in advance on the first (1st) day of each month, at the initial rental rate set forth in the Basic Information. TENANT shall pay a prorated amount of the starting month and all of the next month’s rent in advance upon execution of this Agreement. Airport rates, fees and charges are established by the Chandler City Council and are subject to change. CITY shall give TENANT at least thirty (30) days written notice before a change in the rent, fees and charges applicable to this Agreement becomes effective. TENANT has deposited $___________, which is equal to one (1) month’s rent, less any pre-paid wait list fees, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by CITY, as a nonrefundable deposit, which CITY may apply to cost incurred by CITY for damages to the Premises and for cleaning, security lock and fire extinguisher related to the Premises. TENANT shall remain liable for any damages to CITY in excess of the deposit.

LATE CHARGE. For each month that TENANT fails to pay such rent on or before the tenth (10th) day of the month, TENANT shall be assessed a late charge in an amount equal to the greater of $10.00 per month or 20% of the amount of the monthly rent.

PERSONAL PROPERTY INSURANCE. Any insurance protecting the Aircraft stored in or upon the Premises against fire, theft or damage must be provided by TENANT. CITY shall have no obligation to provide such insurance.

NOTICE OF LIEN. CITY shall have a possessory lien from the date the rent is unpaid and due on all personal property stored within or upon the Premises, including, but not limited to, TENANT’s Aircraft. Property stored in or upon the Premises may be sold or otherwise disposed of according to law in order to satisfy the lien if TENANT is in default. In order to provide notice of sale to enforce CITY’s possessory lien, upon request, TENANT agrees to and shall disclose any lienholders or secured parties who have an interest in any property that is or will be stored in or upon the Premises.

USE OF PREMISES. The Premises shall be used only for the purposes stated in Section 2 of this Agreement. TENANT shall not use the Premises in any manner or for any purpose not consistent with the purposes stated in Section 2, unless such activity is authorized pursuant to a separate written agreement with CITY. TENANT shall not operate or conduct any non-aviation activity on the Premises; shall not use the Premises for residential purposes; and shall not use the Premises for any business or commercial activity, including without limitation, any commercial aeronautical activity. Commercial aeronautical activity means an activity using an aircraft or providing service to an aircraft (including building, maintaining, repairing, washing, cleaning, painting, managing, storing an aircraft) or a commercial business of buying or selling aircraft with the intent that such use, service, purchase or sale will generate and/or secure earnings, income, compensation (including exchange or barter of goods and services) and/or profit, whether or not such objectives are accomplished.

QUIET ENJOYMENT; SAFETY. TENANT shall conduct, and shall cause TENANT’s guests and/or invitees to conduct, all activities on the Premises in a manner that will not interfere with the safety and quiet enjoyment of the Airport by other tenants and members of the public.

Subsequent amendments will be provided by CITY to TENANT through regular mail at least thirty (30) days prior to implementation. TENANT further agrees to comply with the Chandler City Code and all applicable federal and Arizona government laws, statutes, rules and regulations and any amendments thereto. Failure to comply with any of the above may result in immediate termination of this Agreement, in addition to such other remedies as are provided to CITY herein and/or under applicable law.

Box 4008, Chandler, Arizona 85244-4008. In the event of personal service, notice shall be deemed given when personally served.

CITY is not responsible for any issues arising from TENANT’s failure to maintain current contact information.

TERMINATION. TENANT may terminate this Agreement upon giving fifteen (15) days prior written notice to CITY. Failure to so notify CITY will result in TENANT being charged the next month’s rent. CITY may terminate this Agreement, with or without cause, by giving TENANT advance written notice, with such termination being effective at the end of the next month following the month in which such written notice is given, except that CITY may terminate this Agreement immediately if TENANT conducts any criminal activity or if TENANT violates any Airport, local, state or federal law, code, rule regulation, and/or policies, which violation constitutes a danger or hazard to persons or property, as determined at the sole discretion of CITY. This Agreement automatically expires or is deemed cancelled upon the death of TENANT; however, the surviving spouse, heirs, or estate of the Tenant shall be allowed a reasonable period of time, not to exceed six (6) months, solely to arrange for the removal of the Aircraft and other personal property items and to otherwise vacate the Premises, provided that all rent is kept current during this period, but shall not otherwise be allowed use of the Premises.

One (1) additional card may be issued free of charge upon completion of an Authorized User’s Agreement.

Unauthorized use by individuals other than TENANT shall result in revocation of this privilege. Additional gate access cards are available for a $35.00 deposit per card, subject to approval of the Airport Manager. TENANT shall immediately report any lost, stolen of damaged cards to the Airport Manager’s office. Lost, stolen or damaged cards may be replaced for a $35.00 charge.
