time after expiration of the term of this Lease Agreement; provided, however, that FEDEX shall repair
any damage to the premises caused by such removal. The failure to remove trade fixtures or other

thereupon shall become the sole property of the Airport.
FEDEX shall cause to be removed any and all liens of any nature arising out of or because of

Clauses,which are listed in Exhibit B,attached hereto and made a part hereof.
39_ AIRPORT SECURITY.
a. General. The Federal Transportation Security Administration is the federal agency primarily
responsible for overseeing the security measures utilized by the airport owner pursuant to the relevant
provisions of Chapter 49, United States Code, and regulations adopted under the authority of the Code,
including but not limited to 49 CFR 1540, et seq. Violations of the statutes or regulations may result in
severe civil monetary penalties being assessed against the airport operator. It is the intent of the airport
operator that the burdens and consequences of any security violations imposed upon the airport
operator as a result of actions by an airport tenant or the airport tenant's employees, agents, invitees, or
licensees shall be borne by the airport tenant.
b. Airport Tenant Defined. An airport tenant means any person, entity, organization,
partnership, corporation, or other legal association that has an agreement with the airport operator to
conduct business on airport property. The term also includes an airport tenant as defined in 49 CFR
1540.5. Each signatory to this Lease Agreement, other than the airport operator, is an airport tenant.
c. Airport Operator Defined. As used in this Lease Agreement, airport operator means
Monroe County, Florida, its elected and appointed officers, and its employees.

including copying records, to determine compliance of the airport operator or airport tenant with the
applicable security requirements of Chapter 49, United States Code, and 49 CFR 1540, et seq.
L Airport Security Program. The airport tenant agrees to become familiar, to the extent
permitted by the airport operator, with the Airport Security Program promulgated by the airport
operator and approved by TSA, and also agrees to conform its' operations and business activities to the
requirements of the Airport Security Program.
g. Tenant Security Program. If permitted under TSA regulations, the airport tenant may
voluntarily undertake to maintain an Airport Tenant Security Program as referred to in 49 CFR
1542.113. If the airport tenant voluntarily promulgates an Airport Tenant Security Program that is
approved by TSA, such program, as may be amended and approved from time to time, shall be
automatically incorporated into this Lease Agreement.
h. Breach of Lease Agreement. Should TSA determine that the airport tenant or one or more
of the airport tenant's employees, agents, invitees, or licensees has committed an act or omitted to act
as required, and such act or omission is a violation which results in TSA imposing a civil penalty
against the airport operator in accordance with TSA's Enforcement Sanction Guidance Policy, such
determination and imposition of a civil penalty by TSA shall be considered a significant breach of this
Lease Agreement.
(1) Minimum Violation. If the violation is the first or second violation attributed to the airport
tenant and is a civil penalty "minimum violation" as provided for in TSA's Enforcement Sanction
Guidance Policy, the airport tenant may cure the breach by paying to the airport operator the total costs
incurred by the airport operator, including any fines or penalties imposed, in investigating, defending,
mitigating, compromising, or taking of remedial measures as may be agreed to by TSA, to include but
not be limited to reasonable attomey's fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense,
compromising, mitigation, or taking of remedial action measures. If the violation is a third violation, or
there are multiple violations in excess of two violations, that is or are a civil penalty "minimum
violation," the airport tenant shall pay to the airport operator the total costs incurred by the airport
operator, including any fines or penalties imposed, in investigating, defending, compromising,
mitigating, or taking of remedial measures as may be agreed to by TSA, to include but not be limited
to reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, compromising,
mitigation, or taking of remedial action measures; and, further, the airport operator shall have the right
to unilaterally cancel this Lease Agreement, such cancellation to be effective thirty (30) calendar days
after receipt by the airport tenant of written notice of cancellation of this Lease Agreement by the
airport operator.
(2) Moderate Violation. If the violation is the first or second violation attributed to the airport
tenant and is a civil penalty "moderate violation" as provided for in TSA's Enforcement Sanction
Guidance Policy, the airport tenant may cure the breach by paying to the airport operator the total costs
incurred by the airport operator, including any fines or penalties imposed, in investigating, defending,
compromising, mitigating, or taking of remedial measures as may be agreed to by TSA, to include but
not be limited to reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense,
compromising, mitigation, or taking of remedial action measures; and, further, the airport tenant may
cause all of airport tenant's employees involved in the airport tenant's business operations on the
airport property to undergo such security training as may be required by the airport operator. The total
cost of the training shall be paid for by the airport tenant. If the violation is a third violation, or there
11
•
are multiple violations in excess of two violations, that is or are a civil penalty "moderate violation,"
the airport tenant shall pay to the airport operator the total costs incurred by the airport operator,
including any fines or penalties imposed, in investigating, defending, compromising, mitigating, or
taking of remedial measures as may be agreed to by TSA, to include but not be limited to reasonable
attomey's fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, compromising, mitigation, or taking of
remedial action measures; and, further, the airport operator shall have the right to unilaterally cancel
this Lease Agreement, such cancellation to be effective thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the
airport tenant of written notice of cancellation of this Lease Agreement by the airport operator.
(3) Maximum Violation. If the violation is the first violation attributed to the airport tenant
and is a civil penalty "maximum violation" as provided for in TSA's Enforcement Sanction Guidance
Policy, the airport tenant may cure the breach by paying to the airport operator the total costs incurred
by the airport operator, including any fines and penalties imposed, in investigating, defending,
compromising, mitigating, or taking of remedial measures as may be agreed to by TSA, to include but
not be limited to reasonable attomey's fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense,
compromising, mitigation, or taking of remedial action measures; and, further, the airport tenant may
cause all of airport tenant's employees involved in the airport tenant's business operations on the
airport property to undergo such security training as may be required by the airport operator. The total
cost of the training shall be paid for by the airport tenant. If the violation is a second violation, or there
are multiple violations, that is or are a civil penalty "maximum violation," the airport tenant shall pay
to the airport operator the total costs incurred by the airport operator, including any fines or penalties
imposed, in investigating, defending, compromising, mitigating, or taking of remedial measures as
may be agreed to by TSA, to include but not be limited to reasonable attomey's fees and costs incurred
in the investigation, defense, compromising, mitigation, or taking of remedial action measures; and,
further,_the airport operator shall have the right to unilaterally cancel this Lease Agreement, such
cancellation to be effective thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the airport tenant of written notice
of cancellation of this Lease Agreement by the airport operator.
(4) Mitigation of Breach. TSA has a policy of forgoing civil penalty actions when the airport
operator detects violations, promptly discloses the violations to TSA, and takes prompt corrective
action to ensure that the same or similar violations do not recur. This policy is known as the TSA
Voluntary Disclosure Program Policy, and is designed to encourage compliance with TSA regulations,
foster secure practices, and encourage the development of internal evaluation programs. The airport
tenant agrees that upon detecting a violation the airport tenant will immediately report it to the airport
operator. Should the TSA ultimately determine that the violation was committed by the airport tenant,
or an employee, agent, invitee, or licensee of the airport tenant, but the violation should result in the
issuance of a letter of correction in lieu of a civil penalty, then the airport tenant shall reimburse the
airport operator the total costs incurred by the airport operator in investigating, defending, mitigating,
or taking of remedial measures as may be agreed to by TSA,to include but not be limited to reasonable
attomey's fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, mitigation, or taking of remedial action
measures. A violation resulting in the issuance of a letter of correction shall not be considered to be a
breach of this Lease Agreement by the airport tenant.
(5) Survival of Subsection. This subsection shall survive the cancellation or termination of
this Lease Agreement, and shall be in full force and effect.
40. Hold Harmless; Indemnification; Defense; Release; Survival. Notwithstanding any
minimum insurance requirements prescribed elsewhere in this Lease Agreement, FEDEX shall defend,
indemnify and hold the COUNTY and the COUNTY's elected and appointed officers and employees
harmless from and against (i) any claims, actions or causes of action, (ii) any litigation, administrative
12
•
•
proceedings, appellate proceedings, or other proceedings relating to any type of injury (including
death), loss, damage, fine, penalty or business interruption, and (iii) any costs or expenses (including,
without limitation, costs of remediation and costs of additional security measures that the Federal
Aviation Administration, the Transportation Security Administration or any other governmental
agency requires by reason of, or in connection with a violation of any federal law or regulation,
attomey's fees and costs, court costs, fines and penalties) that may be asserted against, initiated with
respect to, or sustained by, any indemnified party by reason of, or in connection with, (A) any activity
of FEDEX or any of its employees, agents, contractors or other invitees on the Airport during the term
of this lease, (B) the negligence or willful misconduct of FEDEX or any of its employees, agents,
contractors or other invitees, or (C) FEDEX's default in respect of any of the obligations that it
undertakes under the terms of this lease, except to the extent the claims, actions, causes of action,
litigation, proceedings, costs or expenses arise from the intentional or sole negligent acts or omissions
of the COUNTY or any of its employees, agents, contractors or invitees (other than FEDEX). Insofar
as the claims, actions, causes of action, litigation, proceedings, costs or expenses relate to events or
circumstances that occur during the term of this lease, this Section will survive the expiration of the
term of this Lease Agreement or any earlier termination of this Lease Agreement.

Aeronautical Activities by Fixed Base Operators and Other Aeronautical Service Providers at Monroe
County Airports and all ordinances of the COUNTY, including any reasonable rules and regulations

Agreement. The parties may agree to amend the Lease Agreement as provided herein as necessary to
