NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
Term and Premises
1.01 Term: The County hereby leases to the Tenant for a term of five
years, commencing on December 1, 1995 and ending on November 30, 2000, unless
otherwise terminated as provided for herein, certain premises described below
and do hereby grant to the Tenant a nonexclusive Duty Free Concession
("Concession") in the Terminal Building at Miami International Airport
("Airport"), as more fully described in Article 2 hereof.
1.02 Extensions: The County reserves the right, in its sole discretion,
to extend this Agreement for five separate terms of one year each, upon the

event the Department elects to extend this Agreement, the Tenant shall be
notified, in writing, at least 300 days prior to the then scheduled termination
date of this Agreement. In the event the Department does not give such notice,

Agreement shall terminate as provided in Article 1.01 (Term) above or upon the
termination of any extension thereof, as appropriate. Failure of the Tenant to

1.04 DBE Subconcession: One or more stores may be designated by the
Tenant as a disadvantaged business enterprise store and the Tenant may enter
into a sublease agreement with a certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
("DBE"), approved by the County, from which such DBE shall operate a duty and
tax free concession. Such sublease arrangement shall be in accordance with the
Proposal submitted by the Tenant, under which this Concession was awarded,
pursuant to Article 1.07 hereof.
1.05 Addition or Deletion of Premises: The Department reserves the
right to delete, relocate or modify any of the Premises at its sole discretion
due to Airport Terminal construction or operational necessity. Relocated space
may not be similar in size or configuration to the Premises leased herein. In
the event of any such Department required deletion, relocation or modification,
the Department shall pay any unamortized construction costs of the Tenant of the
existing premises, pursuant to Article 4.09 (amortized on a 60-month
CA-4
11
straight line basis from the effective date of this Agreement) and the Tenant
shall pay the construction costs for the new or modified premises.
The Department and the Tenant may, by mutual agreement, add other
premises hereunder for such rental rates as set forth in Articles 3.01 and 3.02,
and subject to the Monthly Opportunity Fee payments in accordance with Article
3.05 hereof, and all costs associated therewith shall be paid by the Tenant. The
Department and the Tenant shall agree to the length of the amortization
schedule, but not to exceed 60 months calculated from the date of beneficial
occupancy, of any added premises based on the investment and profitability of
the facility.
This Agreement shall be administratively revised to reflect any
deletions, modifications, relocations, or additions, upon 30 days' written
notice to the Tenant by the Department. Such notification will include a revised
Exhibit A and appropriate changes to premises in Article 1.03 and rentals due in
Articles 3.01 and 3.02. The Department and the Tenant may, by mutual agreement,
adjust the Minimum Annual Guarantee for any deleted premises. Such deletion
shall not affect the Monthly Opportunity Fee payments due hereunder.
1.06 Nonexclusivity: This Agreement is nonexclusive in character and in
no way prevents the County from authorizing the sale or offering of competitive
services, products or items by other tenants or others in other premises at the
Airport. The Tenant shall have no rights to any other concession or concession
space that may be made available by the County.
1.07 Proposal Incorporated: The Tenant acknowledges that it has
submitted to the County a proposal ("Proposal") that was the basis for the award
of this Agreement and upon which the County has relied. IN THE EVENT THERE ARE
ANY CONFLICTS BETWEEN PROVISIONS OF THE PROPOSAL AND THE CONCESSION AGREEMENT,
THE TERMS OF THE CONCESSION AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN. The Proposal of the Tenant
is hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference and shall include
incorporation of the DBE participation requirements. The Tenant shall disclose
under oath, and provide executed copies of, all agreements between the Proposer
and any DBE listed by the Proposer as participating in this Agreement prior to
the execution of this Agreement. Any failure, during the term of this Agreement,
of the Tenant to maintain the DBE participation percentage as stated in its
Proposal shall constitute a default in accordance with Articles 12.03 and 14.05
hereof.

purpose of operating a nonexclusive duty and tax free concession providing the
following services:

Tenant for the unamortized balance of its Improvements only in the following
circumstances:
(A) For the unamortized cost (amortized on a 60-month straight

no event shall the schedule of prices be higher than at other duty free stores

allow a sufficient margin to cover costs. The Department will require the Tenant
to furnish quarterly reports of its schedule of current prices and an analysis
of "comparable" ("Comparable" shall mean not in excess of prices charged by
others, not including sale pricing) prices of the five top sellers in liquor,

International Airport, Terminal 1 of Frankfurt Airport, Terminals 3 and 4 of
Heathrow Airport, and Sao Paulo Guarulhos Airport. If the Tenant's pricing at
the Airport materially exceeds the pricing standards established herein, due to
currency fluctuations at the foreign airports, such fluctuations shall be
explained in the quarterly reports. In addition, the quarterly reports will
include comparable prices of the five top sellers in perfume, cosmetics, and
chocolates as compared to the following Miami area stores: Burdines at Dadeland,
Bloomingdale's at the Falls, Macy's at Adventura and Neiman Marcus at Bal
Harbour. The five top sellers for liquor will be compared to prices at local
Crown Liquors and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Liquor stores and the top five sellers for tobacco
will be compared to tobacco prices at Walgreen's and Publix Supermarkets
locally. These quarterly reports shall show actual prices and the average price
for each item, and shall be submitted to the Department within five business
days after the end of each quarter. The Department, in consultation with the
Tenant, shall have the right to approve the best seller lists and to revise,
from time to time, the stores and airports used for comparison purposes.
The Department reserves the right to conduct its own comparative price
analysis using a shopping service or by survey.

prior approval of the Department, the Tenant shall establish a

based on the actual costs incurred for manifesting,
dispatching and delivering of the Tenant's own duty free

each Permittee at the end of each calendar month for parcel
delivery fees payable hereunder. The Department, the Tenant,

for the security and protection of the Premises, any improvements thereon, its
equipment and property on the Airport, and control of access to the Air
Operations Area ("AOA") through the Premises by persons and vehicles. The tenant
fully understands and acknowledges that any security measures deemed necessary

access to the AOA through the Premises shall be the sole responsibility of the
Tenant and shall involve no cost to the County.

the employ of the Tenant or upon termination of this Agreement. Each employee
must complete the SIDA training program conducted by the Department, before an
ID badge is issued. The Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Department
such nondiscriminatory charges, as may be established from time to time, for
lost or stolen ID badges and those not returned to the
CA-21

certain data on such employees before the issuance of such ID badges, which data
may include the fingerprinting of employee applicants for such badges.
5.11 AOA - Driver Training: Before the Tenant shall permit any employee
to operate a motor vehicle of any kind or type on the AOA, the Tenant shall
require such employee to attend and successfully complete the AOA Driver
Training Course conducted from time to time by the Department. The privilege of
a person to operate a motor vehicle on the AOA may be withdrawn by the
Department for any violation of AOA driving rules. Notwithstanding the above,

possess current, valid, appropriate Florida driver's licenses.
5.12 Alcohol and Drug Testing: The Tenant acknowledges that the County,
as a public agency sponsor under the provisions of the Airport and Airway
Improvement Act of 1982, as amended (the "Act"), has the obligation to establish
a drug free workplace and to establish policies and programs to ensure airport
safety and security. The Tenant acknowledges that the Department, on behalf of
the County, has the right to require users of the Airport (Tenants, Permittees,
Licensees, etc.) to establish reasonable programs to further the achievement of
the objectives described herein. Accordingly, the Tenant shall establish
programs for pre-employment alcohol and drug screening for all candidates for
employment at the Airport who will as a part of their duties (a) be present on
the AOA; (b) operate a motor vehicle of any type on the AOA; or (c) operate any
equipment, motorized or not, on the AOA and for the same or similar screening
based upon a reasonable suspicion that an employee, while on duty on the AOA,

and the Chase Manhattan Bank (now the Chase Manhattan Bank, National
Association), as Trustee, and the First National Bank of Miami (now Southeast

any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the rentals, fees
and charges required to be paid hereunder to the County by the Tenant or by
other Tenants under other agreements of the County for the lease or use of
premises used for similar purposes, are unjustly discriminatory, the County
shall have the right to modify such terms and conditions and to increase or
otherwise adjust the rentals, fees and charges required to be paid under this
Agreement in such a manner as the County shall determine is necessary and
reasonable so that the terms and conditions and the rentals, fees and charges

agreement or in any deficiency in revenues necessary to comply with the
covenants of the Trust Agreement. In the event the County has modified the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, including any adjustment of the rentals, fees
and charges required to be paid to the County, pursuant to this provision, this
Agreement shall be amended to incorporate such modification of the terms and
conditions, upon the issuance of written notice from the Department to the
Tenant.

rendered untenantable, the County shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to render said Premises or damaged portion thereof tenantable by repairs
completed within a reasonable period of time.
(A) Total Destruction: In the event the County elects not to
render the Premises tenantable, if destroyed or damaged in
their entirety, the Tenant shall be so notified in writing by
the Department, and this Agreement shall be deemed terminated
as of the date of the casualty.
(B) If the damaged portion of the Premises is not rendered
tenantable by the County within a reasonable period of time,
and the Tenant shall determine that: 1) the loss of the
damaged portion of the Premises shall have a materially
adverse impact on the ability of the Tenant to utilize the
Premises for the purposes described in Article 2; or 2) would
require the Tenant to obtain other space off the Premises in
order to substantially conduct the operations of the Tenant
originally conducted within the Premises, then, in either such
event, upon written notice to the County, the Tenant may
cancel this Agreement as of a date which shall be not later
than one year from the giving of such notice, if the repairs
are not completed within 90 days following such written notice
of intent to cancel, or if the repairs cannot be reasonably
completed within such 90-day period the County has not
commenced repairs within such time. In the event of
cancellation, the rent for the untenantable portion of the
Premises shall be paid
CA-39

casualty. If the Agreement is not cancelled following any such
casualty, the rent shall be abated as to the portion of the
Premises rendered untenantable.
