The same collaboration which took place for the expiring Airport Use and Lease
Agreement in 2004, has again taken place over the past year to ensure the
longstanding partnership of airport and airline success continues. Through a series of
many meetings and communications, the agreement has been reviewed and updated
with input from the City Attorney, airlines' legal staff, airlines' properties staff, and airport
staff. Moreover, as City Council has not increased airline fees in over a decade, each
Signatory Airline concurs with the suggested changes necessary to bring the expiring

Airport Use and Lease Agreement
for Signatory Airlines servicing
Palm Springs International Airport
2004 agreement up to date and meeting the Airport's financial, operating and capital
obligations to continue fostering airline growth.
As to the financial relationship between the airlines and the airport, the arrangement
remains under the industry accepted methodology of using a residual lease agreement.
Under this proposed agreement (residual lease agreement), the airlines agree to
assume the job of keeping the airport financially self-sustaining by making up any deficit
(the residual cost) remaining after the costs identified for all Airport users have been
offset by non-airline sources of revenue (auto parking, car rentals, and terminal
concessions). This industry practice uses a cost-center approach to setting the rates
and charges methodology to address operating and capital expenditures reflected by
three primary cost-centers: the airfield, the terminal and landside operations.
The most common industry applied metric used by the airlines to assess their costs at
each airport is the cost-per-en plan ement (CPE). This is the average cost paid by the
airline to the Airport through various rental fees and charges and dividing that figure by
total passengers. The CPE is a good barometer on how competitive one airport is
compared to another on an airline cost basis. Under this new airline agreement,
including rising operating and capital costs, PSP Airport's CPE will be $4.25 compared
to Ontario's $11.42, LAX's $12.16 and Fresno's $6.10. With the new agreement in
place, including the increase in the CPE, PSP Airport still remains amongst the lower
twenty percentile of costs nationwide while still delivering a "top shelf' caliber of service
coupled with success to the airlines' bottom line. The PSP Signatory Airlines convene
with staff annually to review the total Airport operating and capital budget and must vote
for its approval.
With the current agreement having been in effect for the past ten years, a variety of
PSP Airport modifications to facilities have been completed and were required to enter
into this new agreement's rate equation. The new regional concourse, courtyard, and
screening area generate additional square footage that will be included into the rent
calculations shared by the Signatory Airlines based on their market share. The airlines
have also agreed to begin exclusively leasing the space directly in front of the ticket
counters, something that is common at airports.
This agreement will allow affiliate airlines to operate under the same signatory
agreement, as requested by the incumbent PSP Signatory Carriers. Affiliate airlines are
those companies that sell tickets under the same brand, such as US Airways scheduling
flights to Phoenix through their affiliate Mesa Airline and SkyWest Airlines. The benefit
to the main airline will be a reduction in the number of separate agreements and
overhead, but this does not change their revenue obligation to the Airport. This new
affiliate clause will now make it easier for other airlines to enter this market.
The agreement will also increase the minimum airline insurance requirement from $50
million to $150 million, comparable with what the airlines are required to provide at other
02

airports within their networks. The indemnity and insurance section language was
updated, as well as the language for holdover provisions at the end of the agreement
term.
Length of the agreement will be for a five-year term instead of the previous ten-year
term. This timeframe has become the newer industry standard and allows both parties
to make adjustments as needed that inevitably will be necessary due to the dynamic
aviation industry.
FISCAL IMPACT:
With the modified rate methodology and adjusted square footages that will be
incorporated into the new agreement, the net positive revenue generated to the airport
will be approximately $650,000 beginning in the first year. Future adjustments to the
residual formula require airline input, review and concurrence. This amount of
additional revenue is spread across the array of airlines based on their flight activity,
passenger activity, and exclusive leased space square footage.
As the consumer price index having increased 40 percent since the last rate adjustment
at PSP over a decade ago, the airlines understand and accept their role in addressing
the increasing costs for operating and maintaining the airport. The average CPE to the
airlines will move from $3.51 to $4.25 per enplaned passenger beginning July 1, 2014,
and the airlines have already budgeted accordingly.

expenditure is made as a required matching fund to a Federal Grant.
(C) The Surcharge. At such times and in such manner as provided for in
Article VII, Airline shall pay to City a Special Capital Projects Fund Surcharge. Such
surcharge shall be collected on a per enplaning passenger basis and established for
each Fiscal Year by dividing the annual funding requirement of the Special Capital
Projects Fund, as set forth in section 5.06 (A) above, by the total number of Enplaned
Passengers for the previous twelve months. Such surcharge shall be collected from
Airline, and all other Aircraft Operators offering Air Transportation service at the Airport.
For each Fiscal Year, City shall collect such surcharge until the amount collected is
equal to the funding requirement for that Fiscal Year, or until the Special Capital
Projects Fund balance reaches $950,000.
Section 5.07 Employee Vehicular Parking
The City shall make available to Airline's employees assigned to duty at the
Airport reasonably adequate automobile parking facilities. The City may, at its

Section 5.08 Insufficiency of Airport Revenues. Adjustment of Joint Use/Common
Area Space Fees
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if, at any time while this Agreement .
remains in effect, City Manager determines that Airport revenues are, or likely will be,
insufficient to pay when due all costs and expenses of annual debt service requirements
on all bonds, or maintenance of rate covenant on all bonds or to pay any Airport
Maintenance or Operation Expense, City Manager may, upon thirty (30) days' notice to
Airline, increase Joint Use / Common Area Space Fees provided for herein to such
amount as is sufficient to assure that actual revenues shall be sufficient to pay all such
costs and expenses. City agrees that prior to such action, upon twenty (20) days' notice
to Airline, City Manager will hold a meeting with the Airline and all other Signatory
Airlines to discuss such charges.
Section 5.09 Annual Adjustment to Joint Use / Common Area Space Fees
Within ninety (90) days after the close of each Fiscal Year the City will recompute
the rates applicable to the fees and charges payable by Airline for its use of the
Premises for the preceding Fiscal Year, based upon actual space utilization, activity,
costs and expenses, and revenues. If the recalculation results in a variance from the
rates charged the Airline for that Fiscal Year, City Manager will calculate an additional
Airport Use and Lease Agreement— Dated July 1, 2014 Page 25
31
charge or credit against Airline's fees and charges. Such charge or credit shall be
payable in equal monthly installments over twelve (12) months. Airline agrees to pay
any such additional charge as billed in accordance with the foregoing. Airline's
obligation to pay such additional charge shall survive any termination of the Agreement.
Section 5.10 Costs Excluded
The portion of capital costs of the Airport, its facilities and improvement paid for
from the Special Capital Projects Fund, or by Federal Grants-in-Aid or by contributions
from other cities, and depreciation, amortization and interest charged thereon, if any,

CFR Part 1542; fire and crash protection and other emergency response provisions
under FAR, Part 139; and a security access system under 49 CFR 1542 or is required
to make additional expenditures by any Federal, State or other governmental order, rule
or regulation during the term of this Agreement, the cost and expense thereof shall be
allocated to the Single Cash Box Cost Revenue Center.
City may from time to time, on reasonable notice to Airlines, determine and
impose compensatory service charges for non-routine apron and ramp cleaning and
scrubbing, apron housekeeping and other special services requested by Airline or made
necessary by non-compliance of Airline with City's rules and regulations. These service
charges rates will be provided when the services are requested or upon notice to Airline
regarding non-compliance issue.
Section 5.12 Non-Signatory Airlines Rates and Charges
It is acknowledged that the methodology for calculating rates and charges for
Signatory Airlines involves risk to the Signatory Airlines in that rates and charges
imposed on Signatory Airlines could in certain instances require the Airline to absorb a
share of Airport deficits due to shortfalls in City's projected revenues and expenses at
the Airport for a particular Fiscal Year. In view of the fact that Non-Signatory Airlines do
not assume the risk of funding actual or anticipated deficits, it is agreed that Non-
Signatory Airlines shall not receive the benefits of any surplus. In addition, City shall
establish and charge the following Non-Signatory Rates to Non-Signatory Airlines:
(A) Landing Fees: 125% of the Landing Fee paid by the Signatory Airlines.
(B) Joint Use / Common Area Space Fee: A fee paid on a per enplaning
passenger basis. Such fee shall be calculated by dividing the projected Joint Use /
Common Area Space Fee for each Airline by the number of Enplaning Passengers for
Airline for the previous twelve months. Then, after deleting from consideration the
highest and lowest figures from such calculation, averaging the figures for the remaining
Signatory Airlines times 125%.

proposed operations of those with whom Airline has subleases or handling agreements,
Airline's existing and future flight schedules, the need for labor harmony, the adverse
competitive impacts resulting from the presence of the other Aircraft Operator on
Airline's Exclusive Space, and the availability of other such space at the Airport. Should

limitations. The preferential gate assignment is shown as Exhibit G. Airport will assign
aircraft gates to Signatory Airlines in adjacent parking positions whenever possible.
Airport will assign aircraft in excess of 120 passengers to the Bono concourse
consistent with design standards. Airport reserves the right to make adjustments to
meet operational and scheduling demands. Preferential gates may be assigned to
other airlines when there is no scheduled conflict with the assigned Airline. If an Airline

Preferential Use Space, City shall give Airline reasonable advance notice of such action
and shall make available alternative space that is reasonably comparable for Airline's
operations at the same rates and charges which Airline would have paid for the space
being surrendered. Airline shall surrender its space promptly to City, provided that
Airline shall be reimbursed for the reasonable cost of any such reassignment,
reallocation or relocation and the cost of Airline's unamortized investment, if any, as

amount when due; (b) the failure to perform any of Airline's agreements or obligations
hereunder (exclusive of a default in the payment of money) where such default shall
continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from City to Airline
which notice shall be deemed to be the statutory notice so long as such notice complies

benefit of creditors; (e) the filing by Airline of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or the

intermittently cured, shall be deemed an incurable default. Two (2) breaches of the
same covenant within a sixty (60) day period, a notice having been given pursuant to (a)
or (b) above for the first breach, or three (3) of the same or different breaches during
any five (5) year period of this Agreement for which notices pursuant to (a) or (b) above
were given for the first two (2) breaches shall conclusively be deemed to be an
incurable repetitive failure by Airline to perform its obligations hereunder.
Section 18.02 Remedies Upon Default
In the event of any such default or breach by Airline, City may at any time
thereafter, without further notice or demand, rectify or cure such default, and any sums
expended by City for such purposes shall be paid by Airline to City upon demand and
as additional rental hereunder. In the event of any such default or breach by Airline,
City shall have the right (i) to continue the lease in full force and effect and enforce all of
its rights and remedies under this Agreement, including the right to recover the rental as
it becomes due under this Agreement, or (ii) City shall have the right at any time
thereafter to elect to terminate the Agreement and Airline's right to possession
thereunder. Upon such termination, City shall have the right to recover from Airline:
(a) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid Airline Rates and Charges
which had been earned at the time of termination;
Airport Use and Lease Agreement— Dated July 1, 2014 Page 45
51
(b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Airline
Rates and Charges which would have been earned after termination until
the time of award exceeds the amount of such Airline Rates and Charges
that the Airline proves could have been reasonably avoided;
(c) Any other amount necessary to compensate the City for all of the
detriment proximately caused by Airline's failure to perform its obligations
under the Agreement or which in the ordinary course of things would be
likely to result therefrom.
The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in subparagraphs (a)
and (b) above shall be computed by allowing interest at three percent (3%) over the
prime rate then being charged by Bank of America, N.A. but in no event greater than the
maximum rate permitted by law. The "worth at the time of award" of the amount
referred to in subparagraph (b) above shall be computed by discounting such amount at
the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award
plus one percent (1%), but in no event greater than ten percent (10%).
Such efforts as City may reasonably make to mitigate the damages caused by
Airline's breach of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of City's right to recover
damages against Airline hereunder, nor shall anything herein contained affect City's
right to indemnification against Airline for any liability arising prior to the termination of
this Agreement for personal injuries or property damage, and Airline hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold City harmless from any such injuries and damages, including all
attorney's fees and costs incurred by Airport in defending any action brought against
City for any recovery thereof, and in enforcing the terms and provisions of this
indemnification against Airline.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the breach of this Agreement by Airline, or
an abandonment of the Premises by Airline, shall not constitute a termination of this
Agreement, or of Airline's right of possession hereunder, unless and until City elects to
do so, and until such time City shall have the right to enforce all of its rights and
remedies under this Agreement, including the right to recover Airline Rates and
Charges, and all other payments to be made by Airline hereunder, as they become due.
Failure of City to terminate this Agreement shall not prevent City from later terminating
this Agreement or constitute a waiver of City's right to do so.
Section 18.03 Cancellation by City
(A) Preferential Use of Concourse Gate Positions. If, at any time, one or
more of Airline's Preferential Use Concourse Gate Positions is underutilized as
hereinafter set forth, City may cancel Airline's Preferential Use of such underutilized

preceding twelve (12) months a secondary user of Airline's Concourse Gate Position
has a greater number of Fee Landings utilizing such Preferential Use Concourse Gate
Position, for the purpose of loading and unloading passengers, than Airline.
If during the thirty (30) days' notice period provided above Airline institutes
additional flights, aircraft arrivals and departures for the purpose of loading and
unloading passengers, which would exceed the number of flights in place by the
secondary user, then Airline shall have the right to retain Preferential Use of its

sixty (60) consecutive days during the months of November through May ("peak
