RECITALS The City is the legal owner of certain real property known as McCall Municipal Airport (“Airport”), as depicted in Exhibit “A”. TTF Licensee is the owner of private land adjacent to the Airport, as more particularly described in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference (the “Private Land”). TTF Licensee desires to access the Airport from the Private Land in private aircraft and commercial aircraft. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties agree as follows: AGREEMENT 1. Rules and Regulations. The Minimum Standards for Commercial Operations and Private Users of the McCall Municipal Airport, dated August 12, 1999 (“Minimum Standards”) and Chapter 6 of the City Code, Title 3, Zoning Ordinance, and any other regulations and ordinances now legally in effect, or as they may be hereafter reasonably and legally amended or adopted in the future, that are applicable to McCall Airport tenants and transients, whether civil or government, shall apply to the TTF Licensee. 2. Grant Assurances. The TTF Licensee, per this Agreement, is subject to all present and future grant assurances and federal property conveyance obligations made between the City and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This includes, but is not limited to, safe operation and equitable compensation for use of the airport. 3. Access to Airport. The City of McCall hereby grants to the TTF Licensee non-exclusive access to the Airport for private and commercial aircraft at the location designated in Exhibits “A” and “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference. Any costs associated with construction and maintenance of said access point shall be paid for by the TTF Licensee. Any construction on the Private Land shall be completed in accordance with the Minimum Standards and the applicable City Codes. Access shall not be allowed from any portion of the Private Land which is not, at that time, annexed into the City and zoned for airport or aviation use, and which does not, at that time, have approval for the development of the Private Land (see the City Code, Title 3). Access to the airport from any residential use is expressly prohibited. Access to the airport for any use which would require FAA Part 139 certification is expressly prohibited. Access is granted to the TTF Licensee for the use and development as is generally depicted in the Project Site Plan, Exhibit “C”, attached hereto and made a part of this Agreement. Note that the Exhibit is an example of a typical layout for this type of facility; the actual configuration and design may be different from what is currently shown and must be approved by the City before any building permit may be issued. 4. Expiration Date. The Expiration Time (fixed contract period) for this Agreement shall be for a period of twenty (20) years from the “Effective Date”, provided, however, that the TTF Licensee is not in default of this Agreement. Renewal Option. As long as the TTF Licensee is not then in default of this Agreement, this Agreement may be extended by the TTF Licensee for four (4) additional terms of five (5) years each. Each extension shall be upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in this agreement except that the Access Fee in section 8 below may be adjusted by City Resolution which takes into account any changes in the Project Site Plan, adjacent properties, or unforeseen financial conditions. The TFF Licensee shall provide written notice to the City of its request to extend at least nineyy (90) days prior to the expiration of the then existing term. Security and Gates. The TTF Licensee shall be responsible for the costs of installing and maintaining all security measures and means of access at the access point(s) shown on Exhibits A and C, including, but not limited to, fences, gates and taxiways, in accordance with FAA and Transportation Security Agency (TSA) requirements, as they may be amended from time to time, and to prevent inadvertent access to the Airport property at any time. Conditions and Restrictions. The TTF Licensee’s rights hereunder to access the Airport shall be subject to the following conditions: TTF Licensee shall comply with all applicable present and future: rules, regulations, and other requirements of the FAA and TSA or any successor agencies; and laws of the State of Idaho and of the United States of America, including without limitation, statutes, rules, regulations, ordinances and codes; and County and City laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, and codes. All plans, designs and specifications for security measures and means of access, shall be subject to TSA prior review and approval, as may be required by the TSA from time to time; The TTF Licensee shall be responsible for assuring that traffic and activities relating to access and security construction do not interfere with the normal day-to-day operations of the Airport, do not create a safety hazard, and do not result in unreasonable “wear and tear” on improved areas of the Airport, as defined in the Minimum Standards. All of the Private Land must be located within the City limits and must be zoned as Airport (AP); see City Code, Title 3, Chapter 6. All of the Private Land which may be required for the proposed relocation of the parallel taxiway and/or future expansion of the runway or taxiways as defined in the 2007 McCall Municipal Airport Master Plan Update must be reserved and dedicated for this use. As land for this purpose may be purchased by the City, the Access Fee defined below will be adjusted accordingly. The access points as shown on Exhibit C to the taxiway may be required to be changed in the future; any cost for doing so will be at the expense of the TTF Licensee. The City may at any time inspect the TTF property and improvements as may be required to assure compliance with this Agreement. Access Fee. Upon execution of this agreement, TTF Licensee shall pay to City the sum of $5,000 as and for the first year access fee. The access fee for the second year will be $15,000. Thereafter, the fee will be calculated by applying the following rates: Land: $0.02/sq. ft. x 1,029,395 sq. ft. $ 20,588 Buildings: $0.15/ sq. ft. x 154,000 sq. ft. $ 23,100 said fee to be adjusted by inflation (as set forth below) each October 1st beginning October 1, 2009. The $0.15 per square foot (building footprint) charge for buildings shall be applicable upon the issuance of a City Building Permit for each building. Said fees shall be payable on an annual basis in advance on October 1st. Each year the annual access fee will be adjusted by the change in the CPI-West Urban (base year 1982-84). Note that the square footage amounts shown were derived from the TTF Project Site Plan, Exhibit C, data. The amounts will be adjusted to actual values as the project is completed in various phases over time; for example, the actual net Private Land area may be greater than shown as the need for additional land for a new taxiway may be less than the 200 additional feet shown on the Project Site Plan Exhibit C. Note: “Year” in this context means the fiscal year of the City, beginning October 1 and ending September 30. Additional Fee Collection. The TTF Licensee shall also collect and remit to City, by the fifthteenth (15th) of each month, all applicable landing fees, fuel flowage fees, aircraft parking fees, and other concession fees as may be applicable by regulation, rule, or ordinance, including but not limited to car rent fees, catering fees, ground vehicle parking fees, and other percentage of gross sales fees paid by on-airport operators in the previous month. Any FBO granted access by this agreement shall meet all the requirements required of on-airport FBO’s. All such additional Fees shall be at parity with any existing on-airport FBO; in addition, any TTF FBO, in order to come onto the Airport to service on-airport tenants, must meet all of the requirements the on-airport FBO is required to meet. Late Charges. Any Access Fee not paid within 30 days of the due date shall be deemed late and, in addition to the Access Fee due, TTF Licensee agrees to pay (i) a late charge equal to 18% of the Access Fee then due, and (ii) interest on the Access Fee at the rate of 18% per annum, and accrued monthly until paid in full. Any fee, which is due and unpaid at the expiration, termination, or cancellation of this Agreement, shall continue to be an obligation of TTF Licensee notwithstanding such termination or cancellation. Commercial Activities. All commercial activities within the Private Land will conform to City of McCall and FAA Minimum Standards, Rules and Regulations, and ordinances now in effect, or as they may be reasonably and legally amended or adopted in the future. Any commercial activity on the Private Land, or accessing the Airport from the Private Land, shall be subject to all normal and applicable City approval, permits, or license requirements for such activity. Commercial activity in this case excludes commercial passenger service which requires FAA Part 139 certification. Insurance. At all times during the term of this Agreement, including any extensions thereof, TTF Licensee shall procure and maintain insurance against the hazards and liability in the amounts hereinafter set forth and shall provide the City with a certificate of such insurance naming the City as an additional insured: All Risk Insurance in Connection with Construction. Before commencement of any construction or demolition on or related to the access granted hereunder the TTF Licensee shall procure and shall maintain in force until the completion of the work “All Risk” insurance in a form reasonably satisfactory to City, covering all risks of physical loss or damage to any property in an amount of not less than $1,000,000.

In the event the performance of any obligation to be performed hereunder by any party hereto is delayed for causes that are beyond the reasonable control of the party responsible for such performance, which shall include, with limitation, acts of civil disobedience, strikes or similar causes, the time for such performance shall be extended by the amount of time of such delay. Should the TTF Licensee fail to abide with the provisions of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be held in default and subject to termination, and access to the City Airport shall be denied, and all current TTF fees shall become a lien on the real property of the TTF land and improvements under this Agreement. In the event the City or any of its successors, assigns or subsequent owners of the Airport or any other person acquiring an interest in the Airport, fails to faithfully and materially comply with all of the terms and conditions included in this agreement, such failure to comply will be deemed a default hereunder.
