METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION
HEADQUARTERS FACILITY LEASE AGREEMENT
This Agreement (“Agreement” or “Lease”) date for reference purposes as the 19th day of February, 2019, by and between the Metropolitan Airports Commission, a public corporation of the State of Minnesota (“MAC”) and MN Airlines, LLC d/b/a Sun Country Airlines (“Tenant” or “Sun Country”). MAC and Tenant may hereinafter be referred to as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties.”
WHEREAS, MAC owns and operates Minneapolis-St. Xxxx International Airport (“Airport”);
WHEREAS, Tenant has a need for facility space to accommodate its headquarters function; and
WHEREAS, MAC and Tenant have entered into an Airline Operating Agreement and Terminal Building Lease for Minneapolis-St. Xxxx International Airport dated January 1, 2019, as defined below (“Airline Agreement”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and mutual promises and covenants set forth, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

B. | Air Transportation Business. “Air Transportation Business” as defined in the Airline Agreement. |

G. | MAC. The Metropolitan Airports Commission, which owns and operates Minneapolis-St. Xxxx International Airport. Where this Agreement speaks of approval or consent by MAC or the commission, such approval or consent means action by MAC’s Executive Director or designated representative. |

A. | Exclusive Ground Area |
MAC leases to Tenant approximately 365,625 square feet of exclusive use premises as shown on Exhibit A, as follows:
Landside Parking Area: |
260,897 s.f. | |||
Building Lease Area: |
89,543 s.f. | |||
Airside Parking Area: |

|
|
|||
TOTAL: |

B. | Preferential Use Leased Premises |
MAC leases to Tenant, on a Preferential Use basis, the use of approximately 85,795 square feet as shown on Exhibit A (“Preferential Use Aircraft Parking Area”). Tenant shall be granted priority to utilize such Preferential Use Aircraft Parking Area, even to the extent the exercise of such rights shall requires the movement of other aircraft from the area. The use of the Preferential Use Aircraft Parking Area by third party airlines is expressly limited to the temporary parking of aircraft on such area, and is subject and subordinate to Tenant’s rights granted herein.
The Preferential Use Aircraft Parking Area shall be used by Tenant for its own aircraft and for aircraft of its Affiliates.
Tenant agrees that such use and assignment of Preferential Use Aircraft Parking Areas shall be consistent with FAA criteria to enable such Preferential Use Aircraft Parking Areas to remain eligible for Federal AIP grant and other funding.
3. | TERM |
A. | Term |
The Term of this Agreement shall be for approximately 10 years commencing February 19, 2019, (the “Effective Date”), and expiring at 11:59 p.m. on February 28, 2029 (“Term”). The Term may be extended for two additional five year terms, by written agreement of both Tenant and MAC. Tenant shall give at least twelve (12) month prior written notice to the other party in each instance where it looks to exercise its extension right. Both parties will make commercially reasonable efforts to come to written agreement to terms within six (6) months from the date of written notice.

B. | Restoration at Termination |
The parties acknowledge and agree that if Tenant should terminate the Lease prior to the natural expiration of the Lease for any reason, the damages would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate, for reasons relating to, but not limited to, the uncertain and fluid nature of the competitive bidding process, both temporally and financially. Thus, the parties agree that upon the early termination of the Lease due to Tenant default or pursuant to Section 3E, Tenant shall pay MAC an additional $500,000 (“Restoration Fee”) to restore the building to its previous condition as an aircraft hangar. In addition, in the event this Agreement is terminated due to a default of Tenant, MAC, subject to the limitations of applicable law, may pursue all available remedies at law or equity including, but not limited to, payment of the remaining Ground Rent, Building Rent, and Tenant Improvement Rent through the remaining Term.
Upon the natural expiration of the Lease Term, Tenant shall be obligated to immediately pay MAC a partial payment of $250,000 (the “Pre-Payment”) towards the actual cost to restore the hangar portion of the Leased Premises to a functional use as it was originally intended for regional jets (the “Restoration Work”), with the remainder of the actual cost incurred (if any) to be paid by Tenant to MAC following MAC’s completion of the Restoration Work and delivery to Tenant of final invoices for the work actually undertaken. MAC may authorize a Pre-Payment of less than $250,000 in its sole and absolute discretion. In the event the actual costs MAC so incurs for the Restoration Work are less than the amount of the Pre-Payment, then MAC shall refund such excess to Tenant following completion of the Restoration Work, which shall be completed within two years after the expiration of the Lease Term.
C. | Holdover Tenant |
In the event that Tenant shall hold over and remain in possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration of this Agreement without written renewal, any holding over shall not be deemed to operate as a renewal or extension of this Agreement but shall only create a month-to-month tenancy. Either party may terminate upon thirty (30) days written notice. During the Term of any such holding over, Tenant shall remain bound by all terms of this Agreement.
D. | MAC Guaranteed Loan |
Within three months after the execution of this Agreement, Tenant will endeavor to secure a loan from a third party lender (“Loan”), for which such Loan MAC agrees to provide a guarantee of $600,000 (“MAC Guarantee”) pursuant to a loan agreement and guarantee agreement on reasonable and customary terms that are acceptable to MAC acting reasonably and in all good faith. All proceeds from the Loan will be used in a manner to directly benefit the Premises. In exchange for the MAC Guarantee, Tenant will pay MAC a yearly administrative fee of $750 as long as the MAC Guarantee is in place. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MAC shall have no obligation to provide the MAC Guarantee if terms conforming to the requirements of this provision are not presented to MAC in proposed final form within the first three months of this Agreement.
E. | Lease Buyout Right |
Tenant is hereby granted the right and option to terminate this Lease (the “Lease Buyout Right”) upon at least ninety (90) days prior written notice to MAC (the “Buyout Notice”), which notice shall specify the “Early Termination Date” (which Early Termination Date must be at least ninety days after the date of MAC’s receipt of the Buyout Notice). In the
Headquarters Facility Lease Agreement – MN Airlines, LLC d/b/a Sun Country Airlines Minneapolis-St. Xxxx International Airport |
Page 7 of 36 |
event Tenant exercises the Lease Buyout Right, then within sixty (60) days after delivery of the Buyout Notice, Tenant shall pay to MAC an amount equal to all Ground Rent, Building Rent, Tenant Improvement Rent, and Restoration Fee that would have accrued after the Early Termination Date through the remaining Term, had this Lease not been terminated pursuant to the Lease Buyout Right (the “Accelerated Rent”). Tenant must also satisfy any and all obligations guaranteed by MAC and satisfy all financed, secured, or other financial obligations that may attach to the Premises or Project. Provided that Tenant timely pays the Accelerated Rent, then this Lease shall terminate on the Early Termination Date as if the same were the natural expiration of the Lease Term.
F. | MAC Termination Option |
In the event that Tenant, for any reason, fails to remain a Signatory Airline, as defined in the Airline Agreement, throughout the Term, then upon such a failure, the sole remedy available to MAC is to terminate this Agreement by providing notice to Tenant of MAC’s intent to terminate this Agreement effective not less than one (1) year following such notice to Tenant. This remedy may be exercised within the sole discretion of MAC, and in the event it is so exercised, Tenant shall not have any obligation to pay the Restoration Fee, but Tenant shall pay for the Restoration Work as described in Section 3.B. Failure to by Tenant to remain a Signatory Airline shall not constitute an event of default under this Agreement nor shall failure to remain a Signatory Airline render Tenant liable to MAC for any damages under this Lease.
4. | AUTHORIZED USE OF PROPERTY |
A. | Leased Premises |
The Exclusive Ground Area portion of the Leased Premises shall only be used by Tenant for the uses set forth in this Lease, including, remodeling to convert space throughout the Leased Premises into office and associated support space supporting Sun Country’s headquarters operations; vehicular parking; commissary and cargo functions; general office use; airline operations management; maintenance, operation, repair and storage of vehicles and equipment; and employee training functions.
The Preferential Use Leased Premises shall only be used for the fueling and defueling of aircraft; de-icing in permitted areas; aircraft and vehicular parking; commissary and cargo functions; the maintenance, operation, repair and storage of vehicles and equipment; and employee training functions. Tenant may provide routine aircraft servicing and maintenance, as well as emergency aircraft repair or maintenance services on the Preferential Use Leased Premises.
The Leased Premises must be used in furtherance of an aviation business requiring direct access to an airfield or by an airline business. It is expressly understood that the Leased Premises are part of an operating airport grounds, so security of the property is of highest concern. Any operation of the property outside of the normal operation of an airline headquarters that involves more than normal daily traffic flow should be approved by MAC to maintain security. Any use and/or activity not expressly authorized pursuant to this Article requires the prior written approval of MAC.
B. | Fueling |
In its use of the Leased Premises, Tenant may lawfully store fuel in its vehicles, and fuel or defuel its aircraft, ground equipment and vehicles used in Tenant’s operation at the Airport, with its own employees or a commercial vendor authorized by MAC to operate at the Airport. Tenant shall not engage in fueling activities other than as specified above. No bulk fuel storage, except propane, is permitted on the Leased Premises.

Page 8 of 36 |
C. | Aircraft Deicing |
Tenant shall only de-ice its aircraft in areas of the Airport specifically designated by MAC pursuant to field rule entitled: Aircraft Deicing, dated October 1, 2013, attached as Exhibit C, as such may be amended from time to time. Tenant acknowledges that it is aware of and has read and will comply with the Field Rule. MAC shall notify Tenant of all revisions of field rules. Tenant is responsible for being aware of and complying with all current field rules and any revisions thereto as they may occur from time to time whether or not this Agreement is amended to incorporate the revised field rule.
D. | Maintenance of Other Aircraft |
Tenant may provide routine servicing and maintenance and emergency repair or maintenance services, to other air carrier type aircraft owned, leased or operated by air carriers other than Tenant, provided such services are not provided to hushkitted or widebody aircraft. It is understood that Tenant does not intend to and will not solicit or engage in such maintenance activities for aircraft not otherwise serving the Minneapolis-St. Xxxx area and that such maintenance activities shall not include major modifications, conversions, remodeling or the maintenance, servicing, handling or hangaring of general aviation or corporate aircraft. Upon written request made no more often than monthly, Tenant will provide MAC with written monthly reports of any maintenance done on air carrier type aircraft owned, leased or operated by air carriers other than Tenant.
E. | Noise |
Tenant agrees to abide by all current and future Airport noise rules, regulations, and field rules.
At the date this Agreement is executed, Tenant and MAC are parties to an Airline Agreement, which is scheduled to expire December 31, 2023. In the event anytime during the Term of this Agreement Tenant shall either fail to renew such Airline Agreement or for any reason is not be a party to the most current Airline Agreement between MAC and signatory airlines at the Airport, Tenant shall, as a term and condition of this Agreement, comply with all aircraft noise and operational provisions of the then current Airline Agreement although Tenant is not a party to the then current Airline Agreement.
F. | Storage |
Tenant is authorized to store necessary supplies for maintaining aircraft on the Leased Premises, provided that Tenant meets all environmental and regulatory requirements applicable thereto.
5. | FEES AND CHARGES |
Monthly rental obligations are made up of four essential components: Ground Rent, Building Rent, Tenant Improvement Rent, and Additional Rent, all of which constitute the rental obligations of Tenant and commence as of the Effective Date. Failure to pay any of the four components of rent is a default under the Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, building rent for the first six months following the Effective Date shall be one-half the monthly amount and equal $25,183.97 each month.
C. | Tenant Improvement Rent |
To accommodate remodeling the building to convert it from an aircraft maintenance hangar to an office and support facility capable of accommodating Sun Country Airline’s headquarters functions, MAC is making available up to $5.4 million of tenant improvement dollars to assist with funding the cost of such conversion. MAC and Tenant have agreed to have Tenant repay the $5.4 million over the course of 114 months, with monthly payments starting as of the first day of the seventh month following the Effective Date as follow:

TI Rent |
$ | 5,400,000 | 5.75 | % | $ | 61,588.58 | $ | 739,062.97 |
The Tenant Improvement Rent is subject to adjustment based upon the final amount of tenant improvement dollars MAC actually funds, not to exceed $5.4 million. In the event this Lease terminates (for a reason other than a default by Tenant or Tenant’s exercise of the Lease Buyout Right) prior to the expiration of the aforesaid 114 months, then Tenant’s obligation to continue to pay the Tenant Improvement Rent on a monthly basis to MAC through the conclusion of said 114 month period shall cease and not survive the termination of this Agreement.
D. | Additional Rent |
Additional Rent is as fully set forth in Section S.D. Roof and HVAC system – Additional Rent.
E. | Revision of Ground Rent |
In conjunction with Ordinance 121 and its revisions any time after January 1, 2021, and no more frequent than every fifth year during the remainder of the Term of the Agreement, MAC reserves the right to amend ground rent upward. Ground rent shall be adjusted downward during the Term in accordance with Ordinance 121 and any revisions thereto. MAC shall rely upon appraisals obtained from one or more qualified, independent
Headquarters Facility Lease Agreement – MN Airlines, LLC d/b/a Sun Country Airlines Minneapolis-St. Xxxx International Airport |
Page 10 of 36 |
appraisers chosen by MAC. It is understood, consistent with Minnesota Statutes, that any revision or changes in rents shall be reasonable and uniform covering Tenant’s lease rights with those charges to other users at the Airport in the same class of users as Tenant.
F. | Snow Removal, Maintenance and Repair |
MAC shall be responsible for snow removal, routine maintenance, operation, repair and replacement on the Preferential Use Aircraft Parking Area of the Leased Premises and common use taxilanes in accordance with Exhibit B (Maintenance Responsibility Matrix). Tenant shall pay the actual costs for MAC performing such snow removal, routine maintenance, operations and repair on the Preferential Use Aircraft Parking Area of the Leased Premises and its pro-rata share of such costs for common use taxilanes/areas as billed by MAC. MAC will use its best efforts to minimize the snow removal costs to Tenant by requiring one half inch of snow accumulation on the ramp prior to calling out the snow removal contractors. At the discretion of MAC’s maintenance staff there may be situations or particular snow conditions that will warrant a waiver to this standard in order to maintain Tenant’s aircraft operations. Tenant hereby grants to MAC the right to access the Preferential Use Aircraft Parking Area for the purpose of performing snow removal, maintenance, operational activities and repairs as MAC determines appropriate. MAC shall use reasonable efforts not to interfere with Tenant’s business operations when performing such obligations. MAC shall provide equipment and labor to fulfill these responsibilities in keeping with Tenant’s operational needs in a reasonable manner.
Tenant shall be responsible for the snow removal from all areas of the Leased Premises with the exception of the Preferential Use Aircraft Parking Areas as described above and as further described in Article 8.A.
Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall be responsible for snow removal on the Preferential Use Aircraft Parking Areas only to the extent that Tenant shall remove snow from such areas that are immediately adjacent to Tenant’s building, Tenant’s airside building doors, and other appurtenances which cannot be reasonably efficiently reached by routine airfield snow removal equipment utilized by MAC.
G. | Late Fee |
Any payment not received within thirty (30) days of the due date shall accrue interest at the rate of 1.5 percent per month measured from the due date until paid in full.
H. | Taxes and Other Charges |
Tenant will pay all taxes, assessments, license fees, or other charges that may be levied or assessed during the Term of this Agreement upon or against any leasehold interests, improvements, or associated equipment on the Leased Premises, or on account of the transacting of business thereon by Tenant, it being understood that Tenant retains the right to contest any taxes so levied or assessed. Taxes levied by reason of occupancy hereunder shall be in addition to rent paid to MAC under this Agreement. Tenant shall obtain and pay for all permits, licenses, or other authorizations required by authority of law in connection with the operation of its business at said Airport.
I. | Utilities |
Tenant agrees to promptly pay all fees, in addition to its Ground Rent, Building Rent, Tenant Improvement Rent, and Additional Rent hereunder, for all water, sewer, gas, electric, trash removal, and other service facilities supplied to or consumed by Tenant relative to Tenant’s operations on the Leased Premises.

Page 11 of 36 |
6. | DILIGENCE BY TENANT |
Tenant shall have all the rights and privileges to conduct all business operations authorized under the terms of this Agreement, provided, however, that this Agreement shall not be construed in any manner to grant Tenant the exclusive right to provide its services throughout the Airport.
7. | LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS/CONSTRUCTION/FINANCING & REIMBURSEMENT |
A. | Installation/Construction |
Leased Premises shall be delivered to Tenant in its current condition at the time of delivery. All improvements required to accommodate Tenant’s operations will be the responsibility of Tenant and must be in compliance with MAC’s Design and Construction Standards.
Tenant is responsible for obtaining the necessary building permits for the Project from the MAC Building Official. The MAC Building Official can be reached at 000-000-0000. The cost of installation of the Tenant’s equipment and any alterations approved by MAC to the Leased Premises, including electrical, shall be made at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. All installations and alterations shall comply with: (1) MAC’s Design and Construction Standards as interpreted and administered by the MAC Building Official; and (2) shall be submitted for written review and approval by the MAC Building Official, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No changes or installations shall be made to the Leased Premises without a MAC issued construction permit. Tenant is responsible for all clean-up of construction materials, debris and packaging associated with Tenant’s construction or installations.
B. | Permits |
Tenant shall maintain in force and effect all permits, licenses, agreements and similar authorizations required to use the Leased Premises. Tenant’s failure to maintain such permits, licenses, agreements and similar authorizations shall not relieve Tenant from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
C. | Liens |
Tenant shall: 1) keep the Airport and the Leased Premises free and clear from all liens for labor performed and materials furnished on behalf of Tenant under this Agreement; and 2) defend, at Tenant’s cost, each and every lien asserted or filed against the Airport and the Leased Premises or against this Agreement and any improvement on behalf of Tenant on the Leased Premises and pay each and every judgment resulting from such lien to the extent such lien is claimed by, through or under Tenant and is related to Tenant’s operations hereunder.
D. | Title to Improvements and Structural Alterations |
All improvements and alterations to the Leased Premises (including the building thereon) that are made by Tenant will be paid for by Tenant and shall become the property of MAC upon the expiration or termination of the Lease. During the Term, all such improvements and alternations to the Leased Premises shall be property of Tenant. All of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, and personal property now or hereafter located on the Leased Premises
Headquarters Facility Lease Agreement – MN Airlines, LLC d/b/a Sun Country Airlines Minneapolis-St. Xxxx International Airport |
Page 12 of 36 |
remain the property of Tenant. Tenant shall within thirty (30) days from the expiration or termination of this Agreement, remove its trade fixtures, equipment, and personal property from the Leased Premises. Any trade fixtures, equipment, and personal property that remains on the Leased Premises after this time shall become the property of MAC.
E. | Construction |
All construction and remodeling will be completed by Tenant in accordance with MAC Design and Construction Standards, and subject to the following provisions:
1. | Tenant shall be responsible for the management, design and construction of the Project.

Any changes to the Project scope beyond that set forth in this Agreement shall be approved in advance in writing by the MAC Executive Director.

The Project shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with all applicable codes, laws, and regulations.
F. | Financing & Reimbursement |
1. | MAC will reimburse Tenant for all reasonable and necessary costs (excluding bonding, interest, insurance, furniture, broker fees, and financing costs) incurred by Tenant from third parties in connection with the design and construction of the Project; provided, however, that the reimbursement provided by MAC shall not exceed $5.4 million. If the cost of the Project exceeds that amount it shall be Tenant’s sole responsibility to reduce the Project cost or provide such additional monies needed to fund the remaining portion of the Project. In the event MAC rejects any request for reimbursement submitted by Tenant, whether in whole or in part, MAC shall provide Tenant with a detailed explanation for the reason for such rejection. MAC shall withhold 5% retainage from each reimbursement, which is payable upon approval of final payment. |
2. | Tenant shall submit any requests for reimbursement on a monthly basis in a format reasonably acceptable to MAC. Tenant shall provide copies of all invoices and all necessary schedule and cost reports for review, including but not limited to consultant or contractor pay requests with all attachments and signed receipts or other proof of payment for expenditures. Tenant shall make no markup for its administrative costs associated with managing the Project. |
3. | Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of an invoice and supporting documentation, MAC will pay Tenant the amount of the approved invoice, minus any amount for which adequate documentation has not been supplied or which is not otherwise payable by MAC under the terms of this Agreement. In the event MAC rejects any request for reimbursement submitted by Tenant, whether in whole or in part, MAC shall provide Tenant with a detailed explanation for the reason for such rejection. |
4. | Tenant shall maintain all documents and records associated with the construction of the Project as well as all reports required by MAC pursuant to this Agreement for a period of six ( 6) years and shall permit MAC unrestricted access to all records associated with the Project during Tenant’s business hours, Monday through Friday, holidays excepted, with advance notice. MAC reserves the right to audit all Project Costs at its expense at the completion of the Project or at any time within six (6) years thereafter. |
5. | Tenant shall defend, at its own cost and expense, each and every claim or lien asserted or filed in connection with the Project and pay each and every judgment made or given as a result thereof except, in each case, to the extent caused by or resulting from the MAC’s negligence or intentional misconduct. Further, Tenant shall indemnify and hold MAC harmless from and against any and all third party claims (other than those described in Section 7F.l. hereof) incurred by MAC arising out of the negligent design and construction of the Project, including the payment of MAC’s reasonable attorney’s fees in conjunction with any litigation arising out of or in connection with the design and construction of the Project, except in any of the foregoing circumstances to the extent caused by or resulting from the MAC’s negligence or intentional misconduct. MAC shall give notice to Tenant promptly after MAC has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought hereunder, and shall permit Tenant to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom using counsel selected by |
Headquarters Facility Lease Agreement – MN Airlines, LLC d/b/a Sun Country Airlines Minneapolis-St. Xxxx International Airport |
Page 14 of 36 |
Tenant that is reasonably acceptable to MAC with respect to any claims brought against MAC. MAC may participate in such defense at its sole expense; provided, however, that Tenant shall bear the expense of such defense of MAC if representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest (as determined in good faith by MAC’s legal counsel). The failure of MAC to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations under this Agreement unless the failure to do so materially prejudices Tenant. Tenant shall not, in the defense of any such claim or litigation for which indemnification by Tenant is required hereunder, except with the consent of the MAC, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the MAC of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. |
8. | MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS |
A. | Maintenance by MAC and Tenant |
Tenant will be responsible for providing all maintenance of the Leased Premises as defined in Exhibit B and Article 2 except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or shown as a MAC responsibility on Exhibit B.

Headquarters Facility Lease Agreement – MN Airlines, LLC d/b/a Sun Country Airlines Minneapolis-St. Xxxx International Airport |
Page 15 of 36 |
C. | Repair and Condition of Leased Premises |
Tenant at all times at its own costs and expense shall take good care of the Leased Premises and the buildings, structures or improvements located thereon and shall keep and maintain them in safe and good order and repair and in a clean and neat condition, and perform all repair, maintenance, and restoration required thereto during the Term, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein to the contrary. Tenant shall not suffer or permit any waste or nuisance on the Leased Premises or anything thereon that shall interfere with the rights of other airlines or MAC in connection with the use of portions of the Airport not leased to Tenant. At the expiration of the Term of the Agreement or upon any sooner termination thereof, without the necessity or demand therefore by MAC, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Leased Premises peaceably, quietly and in good order and condition, fire, casualty, and reasonably unavoidable causes and reasonable wear and tear excepted.
D. | Roof and HV AC System – Additional Rent |
Tenant is responsible for the maintenance of the roof and HVAC systems of the building. MAC will replace the roof (the “Roof Cost”) no earlier than January 1, 2024, unless the roof becomes beyond economic repair before 2024 or otherwise is requiring repeated repairs at intervals which indicate that the replacement thereof is commercially reasonable under the circumstances. When the HVAC systems have reached the end of their useful life or otherwise are requiring repeated repairs at intervals which indicate that the replacement thereof is commercially reasonable under the circumstances, MAC will replace HVAC system (the “HVAC Cost”). Enhancements necessary to improve any HVAC systems in the building for the needs of the Project, shall be paid by Tenant, and not serve as a reason to request MAC to replace the HVAC system earlier than necessary.
Following payment of the Roof Cost or the HVAC Cost (each, generically, a “Cost”) by MAC, such Cost shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of fifteen (15) years commencing with the date of such payment, using a reasonable interest rate and Tenant shall repay to MAC, on a monthly basis as Additional Rent, solely the amortized costs applicable to the remainder of the Term of the Lease, including the period of any renewal or other extension of the Lease Term.

9. | DAMAGE TO OR DESTRUCTION OF LEASED PREMISES |
A. | Repair |
(i) All damage or injuries to the Leased Premises and to fixtures, appurtenances, and equipment by: (1) Tenant, moving property in or out of the Leased Premises or by installation, removal of furniture, fixtures, equipment, or other property by Tenant; or (2) resulting from any other cause of any other kind or nature whatsoever due to carelessness, omission, neglect, improper conduct, or other causes of Tenant, or its subtenants, invitees, agents, or employees shall be repaired, restored, or replaced promptly by Tenant. Should the Leased Premises, or any part of them, be damaged as a result of the negligent or willful act or omission of Tenant, or any of its subtenants, invitees, agents, or employees, they shall in all instances, unless approved by MAC, be repaired or replaced by Tenant whether or not such damage is covered by insurance.
Headquarters Facility Lease Agreement – MN Airlines, LLC d/b/a Sun Country Airlines Minneapolis-St. Xxxx International Airport |
Page 16 of 36 |
(ii) If MAC and/or its employees, or agents damage the Leased Premises through their sole negligence or intentional act, MAC will be solely responsible for the repairs, replacement, or restoration within fifteen (15) days after the occurrence thereof, if such repair, replacement, or restoration is reasonably possible within this time allotment. If MAC fails to repair, replace or restore within such time or as is reasonably possible, then Tenant may make the repairs, replace or restore the damage and render a xxxx to MAC for all reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith or xxxxx rent until Tenant is made whole.
B. | Casualty Damage |
(i) All provisions hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event any fire, casualty, or other event renders such damage to the Leased Premises that is reasonably estimated to require more than twelve months from the date of such event to restore the Leased Premises or such damage completely destroys the same (collectively, “Casualty Damage”), and such Casualty Damage was not caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or such Casualty Damage is not covered by the insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder, then in that event MAC or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease without payment of any penalty or Accelerated Rent upon notice to MAC or Tenant given within sixty days after the date of such casualty. All property insurance proceeds from Tenant’s insurance policy attributable to the building and the leasehold improvements on the Leased Premises shall be paid to MAC, and all such proceeds attributable to Tenant’s personal property and equipment shall be paid to Tenant.
(ii) All provisions hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of Casualty Damage, and such Casualty Damage is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of its subtenants, invitees, agents, or employees, then in that event MAC shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon notice to Tenant given within sixty days after the date of such casualty. All property insurance proceeds from Tenant’s insurance policy attributable to the building and the leasehold improvements on the Leased Premises shall be paid to MAC, and all such proceeds attributable to Tenant’s personal property and equipment shall be paid to Tenant.
(iii) In the event of any Casualty Damage for which Tenant or MAC has not timely exercised its termination right (if any) as aforesaid, Tenant shall proceed to repair and restore the Leased Premises with all due diligence, subject to delays due to force majeure, settling and adjusting the insurance claim, and receipt of insurance proceeds, and the insurance proceeds from Tenant’s insurance policy attributable to the leasehold improvements shall be paid to Tenant and held in trust for the repair of the Leased Premises and those proceeds attributable to Tenant’s personal property shall be paid to Tenant. MAC shall refund Tenant for its insurance deductible amounts paid pursuant to any Casualty Damage to the proportionate extent such Casualty Damage was caused by the intentional or negligent acts of MAC, or its employees, agents or contractors. Tenant shall collaborate in good faith with MAC in the design, development, repair, and reconstruction of the Leased Premises hereunder (including but not limited to providing MAC with access to meetings and draft plans and access to Tenant’s decision-making) and shall comply with the provisions and procedures set forth in Section 7 of this Lease in the performance of the repair and restoration of the Leased Premises following such Casualty Damage.
(iv) If any Casualty Damage occurs that is not the fault of Tenant, or any of their subtenants, invitees, agents, or employees in any way making the Leased Premises substantially unusable, rent and all other charges shall be abated on a per day pro-rated basis during the time the Leased Premises are substantially unusable. No rent shall xxxxx if damage resulted from any act of Tenant or their subtenants, invitees, agents or employees.

Page 17 of 36 |
C. | Application of Insurance Proceeds |
Whenever MAC repairs the damage, proceeds, if any, of Tenant’s and MAC’s property insurance on the Leased Premises and leasehold improvements shall be applied to the cost of the repairs and replacement of the Leased Premises and leasehold improvements. Tenant is responsible for payment of all repair and replacement costs and expenses exceeding insurance proceeds for all of Tenant’s personal property, and for all structural and non-structural portions of the Leased Premises only in the event the damage resulted from Tenant’s negligent or intentional act or omission, provided this provision does not waive any claims against Tenant. If MAC is not required to and elects not to repair or replace the Leased Premises, the proceeds of all applicable insurance policies maintained in force by MAC shall be paid over to MAC. Tenant will name MAC as loss payee on all applicable property insurance policies covering the Leased Premises.
D. | Exceptions from Liability |
Except as set forth herein, MAC shall not be liable or responsible to Tenant for any damage or destruction to Tenant’s property from any cause other than its own intentional or negligent acts.
10. | ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES |
The failure of Tenant to adhere to MAC’s operating standards, specifically signage violations or placement of items or operation of vehicles or equipment in areas or roadways not authorized by MAC may result in inconvenience to the public, facility tenants, and may adversely affect the operation of the Airport, necessitating that MAC take administrative action to assess Tenant’s failure and notify Tenant of the need to correct the failure. Quantification of the resulting costs of such administrative action is difficult. The Parties agree that the administrative charges set forth below are reasonable estimates of the actual administrative charges that would be incurred by the MAC for the specified breaches of the foregoing operating standards, and Tenant agrees to pay to MAC such charges in accordance with this section.
The charges required by this section are solely for the administrative costs the parties anticipate MAC will incur in connection with the list of specific violations below; payment does not relieve Tenant of responsibility for physical damage, personal injury, or other harm or damage to MAC or to any other person or entity caused by Tenant, or its employees, agents or contractors.
For non-monetary defaults under this Agreement, MAC in its reasonable discretion may determine if a violation of this Agreement has occurred and may impose the following charges. MAC shall provide written notice of each offense to Tenant. Failure to pay assessment within thirty (30) days of such notice shall constitute default under this Agreement.
The first offense in any category will result in a warning letter. The second offense and any subsequent offense will require Tenant to pay to MAC administrative charges in the amount listed below. Tenant agrees that said amounts are fair compensation to MAC for said costs. MAC in no way waives its rights under this Agreement, such as default and termination, or other remedies as prescribed by law through the imposition of administrative charges.

11. | INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE |
A. | Indemnification |
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant does hereby covenant and agree to protect, indemnify, defend and hold completely harmless MAC and its Commissioners, officers, agents and employees (collectively “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, suits, actions, claims, charges, judgments, settlements, fines or demands of any person arising by reason of injury or death of any person, or damage to any property, or any allegation or claim of such property damage, including all reasonable costs for investigation and defense thereof (including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees, investigative fees, court costs and expert fees) of any nature whatsoever arising out of or as a result of Tenant’s operation at or about the Leased Premises and the Airport in connection with its operations under this Agreement, or the acts or omissions of Tenant’s officers, agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors, licensees or invitees related to Tenant’s operations under this Agreement, regardless of where the injury, death or damage may occur; provided, however, the indemnification and defense obligations under this Section shall not apply to the extent the claims arise wholly from the negligent act or omission of an Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s indemnification obligations with respect to environmental matters shall be governed by Section 12 B of this Agreement.
MAC shall give Tenant reasonable notice of any such claim or action. In indemnifying or defending an Indemnitee, Tenant shall use legal counsel and experts selected by Tenant who are reasonably acceptable to MAC. MAC, at its option and at its sole expense, shall have the right to select its own counsel and experts for the defense of claims. Tenant, at their expense, shall provide to MAC all information, records, statements, photographs, video, or other documents reasonably necessary to defend the parties on any claims.
This provision shall survive expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. The furnishing of the required insurance hereunder shall not be deemed to limit Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement.
As a distinct and separate indemnification obligation, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold completely harmless the Indemnitees from any claims or liabilities arising out of Tenant’s failure or alleged failure to procure and to keep in force the insurance required as part of this Agreement.

Best rating, or its equivalent, of at least A-VII acceptable to MAC during the Term of this Agreement, covering fire and other risks of physical loss insurable under such coverage, for an aggregate amount equal to 100 percent of their replacement value. Such policies shall be in a form satisfactory to MAC and name MAC as a loss payee as its interest may appear. The policy or policies shall contain a waiver of subrogation by endorsement or terms and conditions of the policy(s) in favor of MAC. Tenant shall keep evidence of such insurance using the standard XXXXX form insurance certificate per Minnesota Statute 60A.39 or a form of certificate or memorandum from the licensed insurance broker per Subd. 5 of this Statute.

To the extent MAC maintains property insurance on the Leased Premises, MAC’s coverage (or ability to recover under such coverage) shall be limited to the excess value of any property loss after exhaustion of amounts payable under Tenant’s property insurance associated with the loss. For the avoidance of doubt, MAC may grant its insurance carriers with rights of subrogation, specifically including but not limited to instances in which MAC’s insurance coverage is in excess of amounts payable under Tenant’s policies.
In the event of damage or destruction to any buildings or improvements on the Leased Premises, all insurance proceeds shall be used to repair, rebuild and/or restore the buildings and improvements on the Leased Premises unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by both MAC and Tenant.

Tenant shall keep evidence of such insurance using the standard XXXXX form insurance certificate per Minnesota Statute 60A.39 or a form of certificate or memorandum from the licensed insurance broker per Subd. 5 of this Statute. MAC reserves the right and Tenant agrees to commercially reasonable revisions upwards or downwards in the minimum insurance requirements hereinafter set forth either by field rule or ordinance of MAC, provided, however, that any such revision shall be nondiscriminatory. If any of the aforementioned insurance is written on a claims made basis, the tenant warrants that continuous coverage will be maintained, or an extended discovery period will be exercised, for a period of three years from the time this Lease expires.

13. | TANKS |
Tenant shall own and hold title to any aboveground storage tanks installed at any time by Tenant at the Leased Premises, and shall apply for and obtain any permits required by applicable laws in connection with such tanks. Installation of any underground tanks shall be prohibited, and any installation of any above ground tanks shall require the written approval of MAC, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. MAC represents and warrants to the best of its knowledge and belief, that the Leased Premises do not contain any underground storage tanks as of the date MAC constructed the building.
Tenant and MAC acknowledge and agree that any tanks installed on the Leased Premises by Tenant during the Term of this Agreement remain under the ownership and control of Tenant until such tanks are removed from the Leased Premises by Tenant. At the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Tenant is required to remove all tanks from the Leased Premises in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws and provide information to MAC which adequately demonstrates that the tanks have not resulted in environmental contamination to the Leased Premises in violation of applicable Environmental Laws. Should contamination from any tank installed and operated by Tenant be discovered, Tenant shall be required to conduct all remediation or corrective action required to bring the Leased Premises into compliance with applicable Environmental Laws.
14. | MAC TO OPERATE AIRPORTS |
MAC shall properly maintain, operate, and manage the Airport at all times and in a safe manner not dissimilar to generally accepted good practices for airports of similar size and character. If for any reason beyond the control of MAC (including but not limited to war, strikes, riots, and civil commotion), MAC shall fail to properly maintain, operate and manage the Airport, such failure shall not operate as a breach of this Agreement or render MAC liable in damages. In such case Tenant will be able to cancel this Agreement upon one hundred eighty (180) days written notice and rent will xxxxx during the time of non-use.
15. | PUBLIC DATA |
The parties agree that this Agreement is subject to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act.
16. | FUTURE LEASES |
MAC shall be free in its discretion to rent any other space or concessions on the Airport to any other person, persons, or corporations, and for any purpose that it desires, subject, however, to the provisions of Minn. Stat. § 473.651 and federal law.

17. | SIGNS |
Tenant shall be allowed to erect suitable advertising signs on the Leased Premises to advertise its business at the Airport, subject to the prior written approval of MAC as to the form, type, size, location and method of installation so as to be consistent with the current version at time of design and installation of the following: 1) MAC’s Exterior Signage and Promotional Activities Policy, 2) Airport Facility Guidelines for Minneapolis-St. Xxxx International Airport, and 3) MAC Ordinance 94 (MSP Building Code Ordinance) as amended or changed.
18. | COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS |
A. | Compliance with Laws |
Tenant, at its sole expense, shall promptly comply with and conform to all applicable present and future laws, ordinances, regulations, and requirements of federal, state, county, and other government bodies of competent jurisdiction that apply to or affect, either directly or indirectly, Tenant’s use and occupation of the Leased Premises and its operations and activities under this Agreement, and with any lawful order or direction of any public officer relating thereto. MAC shall have the right to and shall adopt and enforce reasonable rules and regulations with respect to the use of the Airport, Leased Premises, and MAC-owned property and related facilities, which Tenant must observe and obey. Subject to the limitations herein, MAC retains the right, but not the duty, to enter and inspect the Leased Premises to determine if Tenant is complying with applicable laws upon reasonable notice to Tenant.
B. | Notices of Violation |
Tenant shall notify MAC within five (5) business days (Monday – Friday excluding national holidays) after receipt of any notices of violation of any laws, ordinance, rule, regulation or order specifically concerning the Leased Premises.
19. | SECURITY REQUIREMENTS |
A. | Airport Security |
All employees, agents, and/or subcontractors of Tenant must meet the requirements of the Airport Police Department with regard to security badging access. All security badging questions must be referred to the Airport Police Department Badging Office at 612-467-0623. All necessary badging shall be Tenant’s sole expense.
Tenant agrees to be familiar with the physical layout and general operating conditions at the Airport.
Tenant at its own expense shall abide by all Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) or MAC security requirements, ordinances or security directives, including but not limited to, security badge qualifications, access, display, and use, restrictions on sale of dangerous items and limited security area access abilities.
The security of the airport environment, especially in the sterile area, requires constant vigilance and control by MAC. Pursuant to TSA requirements, MAC is only allowed to permit access to the sterile area to individuals who have a business purpose inside the area. Because of this requirement on MAC, security badges issued to Tenant, Tenant’s subcontractors, or independent contractors may be deactivated at the end of the day of termination of the Agreement.

B. | Penalties Assessed by the TSA |
Tenant understands and agrees that in the event the TSA assesses a civil penalty or fine against MAC for any violation of Transportation Security Regulation or other federal statute as a result of any act or failure to act on the part of Tenant, its subtenants, or subcontractors hereunder, Tenant will reimburse MAC in the amount of the civil penalty assessed plus any costs for defending the civil penalty, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. MAC will provide Tenant notice of the allegation, investigation or proposed or actual civil penalty. Failure of Tenant to reimburse MAC within one hundred twenty (120) days of receipt of written notice of the assessed civil penalty shall be an event of default.

A. | Adequate assurance of the reliability of the source of all of the rentals, fees, charges, and other consideration due under this Agreement after the assumption or assignment of this Agreement. |
B. | Adequate assurance that neither the assumption or assignment of this Agreement nor the exercise of rights hereunder by the party assigning or the assignee will breach any provision in any other agreement to which MAC is bound, any federal or state statute, rule or regulation affecting MAC or the Airport, or any rule, regulation, or ordinance made by MAC. |
C. | Adequate assurance that the assumption or assignment of this Agreement will not disrupt the operation of the Airport. |

Page 26 of 36 |
airport and its facilities by MAC, its tenants and/or other airport users, provided that Tenant commences such cure within said thirty days and thereafter diligently processes such cure to completion. It is agreed that such thirty (30) day notification period shall not be construed to apply to any default in payment of rent. |
3. | Tenant shall be declared to be bankrupt or insolvent according to law, or if any assignment of its property shall be made for the benefit of creditors, or Tenant is placed in receivership. |
4. | Tenant is in default under the any loan or financing relating to the Leased Premises or Project that may result in a lien or encumbrance against the Leased Premises, including any loans in which MAC may have guaranteed. |
5. | A final, non-appealable judgment is entered against Tenant that (i) remains unsatisfied in excess of the period provided for satisfaction by the order of judgment, and (ii) is in the amount equal to or greater than .14% of operating revenue for the most recently reported fiscal year or $5,000,000.00, whichever is greater. |
B. | MAC’s Rights Upon Default |
Subject to Section 21A.6, MAC, or those having an estate in the Leased Premises, may take any of the remedies set forth in the following subsections upon the occurrence of an event of default described in Section 21A above.
1. | Immediately, or at any time thereafter, via judicial process including summary eviction proceedings where required, to re-enter into or upon the Leased Premises or any part thereof and take possession of the same fully and absolutely without such re-entry working a forfeiture of the rents or other charges to Tenant for the full Term of this Agreement, and in the event of such re-entry, MAC may proceed for the collection of the rents or other charges to be paid under this Agreement or for properly measured damages; or |
2. | MAC may, at its election, terminate this Agreement upon written notice in the manner hereinafter provided and via judicial process including summary eviction proceedings where required, re-enter Leased Premises as of its former estate therein, and Tenant covenants in case of such termination to remain responsible to MAC for all loss of rents and expense including reasonable attorneys’ fees which MAC has suffered or paid by reason of termination, during the residue of the Term; or |
3. | MAC shall further have all other rights and remedies including injunctive relief, ejectment or summary proceedings in unlawful detainer, and all such remedies shall be cumulative. |
4. | No judicial process is needed or required should Tenant abandon the Leased Premises. Further, if Tenant rejects the Agreement as part of a bankruptcy proceeding, no further judicial process is needed for MAC to recover the Leased Premises. |
22. | RIGHT OF ENTRY |
MAC, its officers, agents, and employees shall have the right, without limitation but upon reasonable prior notice (except in emergency in which event no notice shall be required) and at
Headquarters Facility Lease Agreement – MN Airlines, LLC d/b/a Sun Country Airlines Minneapolis-St. Xxxx International Airport |
Page 27 of 36 |
reasonable times, throughout the Term of this Agreement to enter upon the Leased Premises for any lawful purpose, including the purpose of determining whether Tenant is complying with its obligations herein, provided however that in all events except pursuant to an emergency, in consideration of Tenant’s security concerns and confidentiality of Tenant’s customer information, MAC will undertake such entry only during business hours, and that neither MAC nor its employees, agents, representatives or contractors shall be permitted to enter portions of the building containing confidential business or personnel information except when accompanied by an authorized representative of Tenant.
MAC by its authorized officers, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, or other representatives, will have the right (at such times as may be reasonable under the circumstances and with as little interruption of Tenant’s operation as is reasonably practicable) to enter the Leased Premises for the following purposes:
A. | To inspect such space to determine whether Tenant has complied and is currently in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Lease. |
B. | Upon reasonable notice to perform such maintenance, cleaning, or repair as MAC’s Executive Director deems necessary, if Tenant fails to perform its obligations under the agreement, and to recover the reasonable cost of such maintenance, cleaning, or repair from Tenant, which will include a 15% administrative fee. |
Such entry by MAC shall not be deemed to excuse Tenant’s performance of any promise, term, condition, or covenant required of it by this Agreement, and shall not be deemed to constitute waiver thereof by MAC.
23. | QUIET ENJOYMENT |
So long as Tenant is not in default in their obligations hereunder beyond any applicable period for notice and cure granted hereunder, MAC covenants and agrees that Tenant shall have, hold and enjoy peaceful and uninterrupted possession of all of the Leased Premises and of its rights to in, to, and from the Airport as herein granted.
24. | CIVIL RIGHTS & NONDISCRIMINATION |
In satisfaction of the requirements of the FAA Advisory Circular, the provisions of Exhibit E are included in this Lease. However, the requirements contained within Exhibit E remain subject to the limitations of and notice and cure provisions of Section 21.A.2. MAC agrees that it shall enforce the provisions of Exhibit E against Tenant solely in a manner which is reasonable and non-discriminatory.
25. | GENERAL PROVISIONS |
A. | Headquarters Covenant |
During the Term of this Lease, and any extensions or holdover periods Sun Country hereby covenants and agrees to maintain its “headquarters” in the metropolitan areas of Minneapolis and Saint Xxxx within the state of Minnesota. As the sole remedy for breach of this covenant, Building Rent shall become $828,049.92 annually ($69,004.16 monthly), commencing with the first day of the particular month in which Sun Country violates the Headquarters Covenant (and, in the event any such violation continues for thirty-six consecutive months, the higher Building Rent will be in effect permanently thereafter through the remaining Term of the lease). MAC’s failure to comply with FAA Grant Assurances with regard to the allocation and use of terminal facilities with respect to Sun Country shall relieve Sun Country’s obligations under this Headquarters Covenant
Headquarters Facility Lease Agreement – MN Airlines, LLC d/b/a Sun Country Airlines Minneapolis-St. Xxxx International Airport |
Page 28 of 36 |
The term “headquarters” means the corporate office which constitutes (i) the principal office of Sun Country (or any assignee holding all or substantially all (i.e., ninety-five percent (95%) or more) of the stock or assets of Sun Country) from which its business is conducted, and (ii) the principal office of Sun Country’s or such assignee entity’s CEO, CFO, and majority of its other senior management team members.
B. | Sublease or Assignment |
Tenant shall not sublease the Leased Premises, or transfer or assign this Lease, (collectively, a “Transfer”) without MAC’s prior written consent, at its sole discretion. This Agreement is binding on all legal representatives, successors or assigns. Consent is subject to payment of all rents and the performance of all covenants, conditions and terms contained in this Agreement by Tenant. It shall not be unreasonable for MAC to disapprove a sublease or assignment of the Leased Premises if the proposed sublease or assignee is not an Air Transportation Business.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section shall not be interpreted to preclude a Transfer of Tenant’s rights and obligations hereunder to any person or entity (a) controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Tenant, or (b) that is Tenant’s successor through purchase, merger, reorganization, conversion, or consolidation, or (c) that acquires all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant (collectively, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided that such Permitted Transferee conducts an Air Transportation Business in the Premises and assumes all rights and obligations hereunder. Written notice of such assumption shall be provided by the Tenant and Permitted Transferee prior to the effective date of such Transfer. It is expressly understood that Tenant intends to convert its corporate structure from that of a limited liability company to that of a corporation after the Execution Date hereof, and MAC has no consent rights thereover.
C. | Minnesota Law and Jurisdiction |
The laws of the State of Minnesota shall govern this Agreement. Tenant further consents to the personal jurisdiction of and venue in the Minnesota state courts.
D. | Severability |
If any term, condition, or provision of the Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder thereof and the application of such terms, provisions, and conditions to persons or circumstances other than those as to whom it shall be held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and the Agreement and all the terms, provisions, and conditions hereof shall, in all other respects, continue to be effective and to be complied with to the full extent permitted by law.
E. | Right to Amend |
In the event the FAA, or its successors, or the TSA requires modifications or changes in this Agreement as a condition precedent to the granting of funds for the improvement of the Airport, MAC and Tenant agree to consent to such amendments, modifications, revisions, supplements, or deletions of any of the terms, conditions, or requirements of this Agreement as may be reasonably required to obtain such fund; provided, however, that in no event will Tenant be required, pursuant to this subsection, to agree to an increase in the rent or other charges. Tenant and MAC will consult with each other and negotiate in good faith to avoid Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises being materially affected.
Headquarters Facility Lease Agreement – MN Airlines, LLC d/b/a Sun Country Airlines Minneapolis-St. Xxxx International Airport |
Page 29 of 36 |
F. | Accord and Satisfaction |
No payment by Tenant of a lesser amount than the rent or other payments required in this Agreement shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction. MAC shall accept such payment without prejudice to MAC’s rights to recover the balance of rent and/or payments due or to pursue any other remedy.
G. | Attorneys’ Fees and Costs |
In the event of any suit or proceeding to enforce the terms of the Agreement, each party shall bear its own attorney’s fees and costs.
H. | Relationship of Parties |
It is understood and agreed that nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed as in any way creating or establishing the relationship of co-partners hereto, or as constituting Tenant as the agent, representative or employee of MAC for any purpose or in any manner whatsoever. Tenant is to be and shall remain an independent Tenant with respect to all services performed under this Agreement.
I. | Headings |
The headings incorporated in the Agreement are for convenience in reference only and are not a part of the Agreement and do not in any way limited or add to the terms and provisions hereof.
J. | Waiver |
The waiver of breach by Tenant or MAC of any term of this Agreement must be in writing to be effective, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same term or any other term of this Agreement.
K. | Condemnation |
If it shall be in the public interest, MAC shall have the power to condemn the property interests created by this Agreement provided that this provision shall not be construed as a waiver by MAC or Tenant of their rights to contest the validity of any such condemnation.
Upon taking by MAC and without limitation to the preceding paragraph, (1) in the event of a taking by MAC of the Agreement or any portion of the Leased Premises or other property of MAC or Tenant, MAC’s and Tenant’s awards shall be limited solely and exclusively to their relocation expenses and those relating to a permanent taking of their personal property, and (2) in no event shall MAC or Tenant be entitled to any award relating to the value of any expired portion of the Term of this Agreement, the leasehold improvements, any fixture located on or about the Leased Premises, or any loss, damage or diminution of Tenant’s business. Tenant hereby waives all provisions of applicable law, which is or may be inconsistent with this section.

Page 30 of 36 |
L. | Subordination to Agreements with the U.S. Government |
This Agreement shall be subordinate to the provisions of and requirements of any existing or future agreement between MAC and the United States, relative to the development, operation or maintenance of the Airport.

M. | Parking |

N. | Force Majeure |
If performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement is rendered impossible or is delayed by reason of strikes, fire, flood, explosion, civil commotion, riot, insurrection, terrorism, or act of God, then such performance shall be excused if impossible, or postponed for the period of such delay, if delayed.
O. | Entire Agreement |
This represents the entire agreement between the Parties. This Agreement may only be modified if done in writing and executed by both Parties.
P. | Existing Lease |

METROPOLITAN AIRPORTS COMMISSION
MINNEAPOLIS-SAINT XXXX INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXX FIELD
October 1, 2013
NOTICE TO: | ALL AIRPORT USERS | |
FROM: | DIRECTOR MSP OPERATIONS | |
SUBJECT: | FIELD RULE: AIRCRAFT DEICING |
The Metropolitan Airports Commission, in consideration of aircraft flight safety during winter operations and to comply with NPDES stormwater permit requirements, is issuing an AIRCRAFT DEICING FIELD RULE.
Aircraft deicing is mandated by Code of Federal Regulations- Federal Aviation Regulations Part 121. Contaminant discharge to receiving waters from MSP is regulated by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) under National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit #MN000210l. Per procedures listed in this FIELD RULE, the MAC and its tenants will implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) and best available technologies within aviation safety and operational considerations.
The following rules for aircraft deicing operations are effective this date, [revise date] October 1, 2013
LOCATIONS
Aircraft deicing at Minneapolis-Saint Xxxx International Airport (MSP) will be conducted at locations that fall under one of the following three categories:
1. | Dedicated deice pads with associated containment facilities. |
2. | Apron areas where drainage is controlled by a “plug and pump” system. |
3. | Non-contained apron areas provided that the tenant makes a provision for the prevention of discharge into the storm drain system (i.e. storm drain covers, MAC approved inserts, etc), augmented by immediate recovery of spent fluids by a Glycol Recovery Vehicle (GRV). These provisions must comply with Chapter 7, Sections 1.14 through 1.24 in the MSP NPDES Permit. |
MSP deicing tenants shall utilize the dedicated deicing pads to the extent possible, as required in Chapter 7, Section 1.7 of the MSP NPDES Permit.
PROCEDURES
1. | MSP tenants shall submit for approval a deicing plan to the MAC Airside Operations Department on an annual basis prior to September 15th. The plan must include deicing procedures for each location category (as described above) that a tenant expects to utilize. Tenants without an approved deicing plan for a specific location category will be prohibited from deicing at that location. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS PROVISION. |
2. | Approved methodologies for containment of spent deicing fluids at MSP: |
• | Dedicated deicing pads that may be used by all tenants. |
• | The current system of plugging and pumping the storm sewers at selected locations will be continued, but not expanded beyond the existing contained gates at the Terminal 1-Lindbergh and Terminal 2-Xxxxxxxx aprons. |
• | Aircraft deicing may be accomplished on tenant leasehold areas PROVIDED THAT: |
1. | All storm sewer inlets likely to receive spent deicing fluids are covered, or equipped by other approved means, to prevent discharge of spent deicing fluid into the storm drain system. |
2. | Glycol Recovery Vehicles are used immediately after each aircraft is deiced to recover spent deicing fluids. |
3. | Recovered product is transported to a dedicated GRV remote holding tank or the MAC Glycol Management Facility for processing. |
4. | Deicing operations by tenants do not impact the safety and operations of nearby leaseholders or the general public. |
5. | All procedures are conducted in a manner compliant with Chapter 7, Sections 1.14 through 1.24 of the MSP NPDES Permit. |
3. | Aircraft deicing operations on aircraft movement area surfaces will be strictly limited to areas with containment facilities or where drainage is controlled by a plug and pump system. Glycol dispensing vehicles are authorized to operate on designated movement area surfaces contingent on the requirement that the vehicles are operated by properly trained and licensed personnel, that entry onto a movement area surface is for the express purpose of aircraft deicing, and that prior notification was made to the MAC Airside Operations department. Glycol Recovery Vehicles are not authorized to operate on any open movement area surfaces. |
4. | To ensure maximum environmental protection for the storage and use of glycol at MSP, the following fluid management measures are required: |
• | Aircraft Deicing Fluid shall not be used for pavement deicing |
• | Glycol storage tank(s) including all pipes and valves, will either (i) be within a permanent or portable secondary containment area with the capacity to hold 110% of largest tank volume, or (ii) the storage tanks/tank systems will be double walled, and will incorporate at least one of the following: 1) be constructed with all product fill and removal hoses/pipes on the top of the tank; 2) have breakaway fail-safe valves; 3) have double-walled piping systems; or 4) other similar containment protection as approved by MAC. |
• | Filler hoses, unless equipped with end caps or closure valves; must be placed in a contained bucket or in the contained area, when not in use; to reduce leaking from the nozzle. |
• | Each glycol tank will be labeled with the type of fluid, the tank capacity and the phone number for MAC Communications (612-726-5577) to facilitate rapid emergency response. |
• | If glycol trucks are stored during the non-deicing season with fluid in the tanks, secondary containment measures must be in place. |
• | All spills or unintended releases of aircraft deicing fluid must be reported to MAC Communications regardless of whether spill/release occurred in a contained location. Recovery procedures shall be initiated as appropriate. |
• | Appropriate best management practices (BMPs) must be implemented for glycol storage and handling by the tank owner and all users. These BMPs shall be documented within their Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), as required by the MSP NPDES Permit. |
5. | In order to comply with NPDES Permit limits, deicing may be limited or prohibited at any airport location, including tenant leasehold areas. Accordingly, this Field Rule may be modified as necessary due to NPDES Permit requirements, or as necessary for safety or aircraft/airfield operational requirements. |
This FIELD RULE contains provisions for safe, efficient aircraft deicing and environmentally responsible containment of spent deicing fluids. It is essential that each company emphasize the need to comply with the FIELD RULE to their employees.
