Within twenty (20) calendar days after the date of any casualty to any or all of the Tenant Premises, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing as to whether or not it elects to repair same.

In the event said repairs have not been completed within the period specified, then Tenant, at its option, which must be exercised in writing within twenty (20) calendar days from the expiration of the time period specified and prior to completion of reconstruction, may terminate this Lease. If either Landlord or Tenant terminates this Lease as above provided in this Section, any moneys due and owing to Landlord shall be paid by Tenant up to the date of termination specified in the applicable notice, whereupon all future obligations on the part of both parties hereto shall cease and neither Landlord nor Tenant shall incur any further obligations whatsoever from and after such termination of this Lease.

Although all such damages awarded in the event of any condemnation are to belong to Landlord, whether such damages are awarded as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or to the fee of the leased Tenant Premises, Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Xxxxxx in Tenant's own right on account of any and all damage to Xxxxxx's business by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of any cost or loss to which Tenant might be subject in removing Tenant's merchandise, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements and equipment.

The failure of Tenant to comply with any material covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease other than those referred to in the foregoing Subsection, provided such default continues for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after written notice thereof from Landlord is received by Tenant; provided further that Tenant' s time to cure such default shall be extended for such additional time as shall be reasonably required for the purpose if Tenant shall proceed

Given the mutual benefit to NASA and SPFL within the scope and purpose of this Agreement is to promote and facilitate commercial space activities utilizing the SLF, use of this authority is appropriate to execute this Agreement.
KCA-4412 Rev. Basic |
B. The benefit to NASA from this Agreement includes priority use for mission requirements and long term preservation of this unique high value asset for commercial and DOD space flight activities. In addition, NASA will achieve cost savings through continued access and use of the SLF. In consideration of the NASA benefit derived as a result of the activities, investments, and obligations assumed by the SPFT, pursuant to this Agreement, NASA will not require SPFL to provide cash payments for use of the SLF. In the event that the SPFL's personal property is not removed and the SI,F is not restored in accordance with this Agreement, SPFL shall pay to NASA a reasonable sum which may be expended after the expiration, revocation, or termination of this Agreement to restore the SLF to the condition required by this Agreement.
C. SPFL is required to make payments to NASA for provision to SPFL of "Support Services," which will be reimbursed fully by SPFL in advance of any such commitments by NASA. See Exhibit E.
1. SPFL agrees to reimburse NASA to carry out its responsibilities under this Agreement for the first year of recurring services, Included in the estimate are costs for those services anticipated to be provided by NASA KSC during the first and subsequent years of the agreement (e.g., utilities, fire, and badging), including a reserve fund ($25,000) to enable expedited processing of requests for other services within the scope of this agreement.
a. Normally included in recurring services are indirect costs associated with common area grounds and road maintenance which is charged as a Facility Service Charge established annually by NASA KSC based on the Center's square footage and charged to SPFL based on square footage of real property in this Agreement, excluding square footage of the runway. This fee will not be included during the period that NASA KSC is providing transition services, but will be implemented once those services are no longer being provided by NASA KSC. As the Center and SLF expand or reduce in square footage of real property, the square footage algorithms for estimated cost will be updated.
b. Included in the recurring services estimate is the full cost of NASA KSC provided services includes an applicable Center Management and Operations (CM&O) charge (percentage rate) established annually by the Agency. The CM&O charge covers NASA KSC's costs of maintaining and operating the municipal services at the Center.
c. Included in the recurring services estimate is a direct cost allocation of NASA KSC's protective services contract value specific to fire emergency response. The allocation is based on the Center's total square footage, and charged to SPFL based on square footage of real property in this Agreement. In-district support services to the SLF will be provided at no additional costs, As the Center and SLF expand or reduce in square footage of real property, the square footage algorithms for estimated cost will be updated.
KCA-4412 Rev. Basic |
2. SPFL agrees to reimburse NASA for NASA KSC to carry out its responsibilities for five (5) months of transition services, to be provided by NASA KSC for a period not to extend beyond September 30, 2015. Included in the estimate are costs for services required to operate and maintain the airfield (e.g., airfield operations, facility maintenance, and information technology). These services will be contracted directly by SPFL to outside providers after the transition period is complete and throughout subsequent years of the agreement.
D. SPFL agrees to provide to NASA, at no cost, flight operation services associated with landings and take-offs of NASA aircraft in accordance with Article XXXII. The non-reimbursed services are valued at $45,045 of support labor for the first year of operation and the value to be escalated by three percent (3%) annually thereafter. NASA KSC's Technical Point of Contact will concur in advance on which NASA flight operations are to be charged against this account. SPFL shall provide a quarterly report of NASA's flight operations costs incurred. A separate contract will need to be established between the Parties for costs in excess of the non-reimbursed services amount.
E. Payment shall be due in advance of initiation of NASA KSC's efforts on behalf of the SPFL. An initial deposit of 70%, which includes 100% of the Transition Services estimate, 100% of the Badging estimate, 100% of the Reserve Account for Miscellaneous Services estimate, and 25% of the Recurring Services estimate shall be due on the signature date of the Agreement. Subsequent quarterly payments shall be received by NASA fifteen (15) days in advance of each quarter and subject to adjustment based on an assessment of actual support services costs.
1. Subsequent years of Support Services will be estimated by NASA KSC and communicated to SPFL in advance of the Agreement signature date anniversary.
2. Payment shall be payable to NASA through the NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC) (choose one form of payment): (1) U.S. Treasury FEDWIRE Deposit System, Federal Reserve Wire Network Deposit System; (2) xxx.xxx at xxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (select "Pay NASA" from the Quick Links to the left of the page); or (3) check. A check should be payable to NASA and sent to: NASA Shared Services Center; FMD - Accounts Receivable; For the Accounts of Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx Space Center; Bldg. 0000, X Xxxx; Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, XX 00000. Payment by electronic transfer (#1 or 42, above) is strongly encouraged, and payment by check is to be used only if circumstances preclude the use of electronic transfer. All payments and other communications regarding this Agreement shall reference the Center name, title, date, and number of this Agreement.
F. NASA KSC will not provide services or incur costs beyond the existing payment. Although NASA KSC has made a good faith effort to accurately estimate its costs, it is understood that NASA provides no assurance that the proposed effort under this Agreement will be accomplished for the above estimated amount. In no event will NASA transfer any U.S, Government funds to SPFL under this Agreement. Should the effort cost more than the estimate, NASA KSC will advise SPFL as soon as possible. SPFL shall pay all costs incurred and has the option of canceling the remaining effort, or providing additional funding in order to continue the proposed effort under the revised estimate. Should this Agreement be terminated, or the effort completed at a cost less than the agreed-to estimated cost, NASA shall account for any unspent funds within 90 days after completion of all effort under this Agreement, and promptly thereafter return any unspent funds to SPFL.
KCA-4412 Rev. Basic |
G. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all activities under or pursuant to this Agreement are subject to the availability of funds, and no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted to require obligation or payment of funds in violation of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. § 1341.
VI. PRIORITY OF USE
A. Operations
1. SPFL will provide priority use and scheduling for major NASA and DOD operations that require access to and use of the SLF. NASA KSC and SPFL agree to consult on scheduled use of the SLF to insure minimum interference between Government priority and non-government uses of the SLF.
2. SPFL understands that the SLF is part of a buffer zone to insulate operations at KSC and the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) from adversely affecting the public. The Parties agree to consult in advance on planned operations at the SLF to minimize interference between activities at the SLF and activities conducted at I(SC or CCAFS. NASA KSC will take reasonable steps to accommodate operations at the SLF to minimize. interference between operations at the SLF and KSC and CCAFS operations.
3. In the event that NASA exercises its right of scheduling priority, NASA KSC will make reasonable efforts to keep SPFL as close as possible to its original schedule. Should Government operations affect the schedule of SPFL's launch and re-entry efforts, such action will be read against this Priority of Use Article, and such exercise does not qualify as a "preemption" under 51 U.S.C. § 50910. In the event that NASA exercises its right of scheduling priority, it will be at no cost to NASA.
B. Support Services
Provision of Support Services to SPFL by NASA KSC is based upon NASA's current understanding of the projected availability of NASA goods, services, facilities, and/or equipment. In the event that NASA's projected availability changes, SPFL shall be given reasonable notice of that change, so that its schedule may be adjusted accordingly. The Parties agree that NASA's use of the goods, services, facilities, or equipment used to provide Support Services to SPFL shall have priority over the use planned in this Agreement. Should a conflict arise, NASA I(SC in its sole discretion shall determine whether to exercise that priority. Likewise, should a conflict arise as between two or more non-NASA Partners, NASA KSC, in its sole discretion, shall determine the priority as between those Partners. This Agreement does not obligate NASA KSC to seek alternative Government property or services under the jurisdiction of NASA at other locations.

SPFL agrees to submit to the NASA KSC RPAO, through the NASA KSC Business POC any real property collateral equipment tags and/or redlined listings of all equipment that is to be removed as the result of any Improvements made at the SLF. The RPAO will prepare the necessary paperwork (e.g., NASA Form 1046, Transfer and/or Notification of Acceptance of Accountability of Real Property) to properly dispose of the collateral equipment and to remove it from NASA KSC's real property inventory, and will make the required notifications to NASA Headquarters and the General Services Administration regarding any facilities to be demolished, consistent with the terms of the Agreement.
Except as otherwise agreed to in advance by NASA as stipulated below, any removed collateral equipment or recyclable salvaged or scrap materials shall be disposed of through the NASA KSC property disposal process, as directed by NASA KSC and in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations, Federal Acquisition Regulations, the Export Control Act, and NASA KSC environmental requirements. SPFL shall make arrangements with the NASA KSC Property Disposal Officer, through the NASA KSC Business POC for delivery of those materials or collateral equipment.
Upon advance approval by NASA KSC, it may be possible for the recycled value of such salvageable collateral equipment or scrap materials to be used to help offset the cost of demolition, but in no case will SPFL be permitted to recover scrap or salvage value in excess of actual demolition or removal costs. This salvage offset, which would require a transfer of title to Government property, is only authorized under a federal contract (i.e., Federal Acquisition Regulation [FAR] procurement) for demolition services. Therefore, any such agreement would be in compliance with the FAR and all other Applicable Laws and regulations, and accomplished via a separate contract between NASA and SPFL for demolition of specified real property assets. This contract must be executed before the associated facility Improvements project is approved by NASA KSC.
If SPFL desires to pursue a contract for demolition, SPFL shall indicate on the 1509 Template whether the estimated cost of any planned demolition or removal work includes offsetting scrap or salvage value for any SPFL assigned facilities, facility systems, or collateral equipment; and shall separately document the total estimated net cost of the demolition or removal activity, along with the specific property and associated scrap value used to offset that cost. Finally, the actual demolition costs and associated salvage offset values shall be reported to NASA KSC upon completion of the applicable demolition activity.

SLF Critical Demarcation Points
Facility Systems
◾ Medium Voltage Power: The medium voltage distribution system will remain under NASA KSC control, to the defined interface point, due to dependencies outside the SLF Property.
◾ Potable Water: The potable water system will remain under NASA KSC control, to the defined interface point, due to dependencies outside the SLF Property.
◾ Sanitary Sewer: The sanitary sewer system will remain under NASA KSC control, to the defined interface point, due to dependencies outside the SLF Property.
◾ Fire alarm system: The fire ala1rn system will remain under NASA KSC control, to the defined interface point, due to dependencies outside the SLF Property. The interface point is at the SPFL side of the advanced encryption standard radio transceiver (compatible with NASA KSC central monitoring system).
Note that per standard agreement language drafted by NASA KSC Protective Services. SPFL may choose to operate and maintain its own fire alarm system provided that SPFL contracts with an independent fire alarm monitoring service (which will notify NASA KSC in the event of cm emergency response requirement.) NASA KSC must maintain the fire alarm systems if it is to provide the fire alarm monitoring services.
Other Demarcation Points
◾ Perimeter fence: The fence and Electronic Security Systems (ESS) are part of the SLF Property structure and maintenance is the responsibility of SPFL.
◾ Roads: Interface is at the main gate and where roads (paved and unpaved) cross the SLF Property Boundary and SPFL is responsible for maintenance, as they see fit.
◾ Rail Spurs: Interface is where the spur crosses over the Xxxxxxx Parkway North and enters the SLF Property, which is subject to change based on NASA KSC's future rail requirements. NASA KSC is responsible for all operations & maintenance of the mil tracks within the SLF Property,
◾ Stormwater: SPFL is responsible for management of stormwater inside the SLF Property perimeter fence and must abide by all federal, slate, and local laws and regulations. Stormwater is primarily contained within the fence, but if a question of interface arises, it is at the perimeter fence.
Structures: SPFL is responsible for maintenance and repair of all SPFL owned and/or operated buildings and structures inside the SLF Prope1ty Boundary, including but not limited to, the lunar landing test field itself. Facilities that were abandoned/mothballed by NASA KSC prior lo the Agreement with SPFL do not have to be repaired but must not be allowed to deteriorate to the extent they represent a hazard to personnel or equipment.
