Box 1310, Artesia, New Mexico 88211-1310, as “LESSOR”, and _Generation Jets, LLC, of _5318 Airport Drive, Denison TX___ as “LESSEE”. WITNESSETH: THAT Lessor, in consideration of the rents to be paid by Lessee to Lessor and the performance of the covenants and agreements hereinafter provided, hereby leases to Lessee the following described property in Eddy County, New Mexico, to wit: Municipal Airport Hangar No. 104, Artesia Municipal Airport TO HAVE AND TO HOLD said property unto the Lessee from the 1st day of February, 2025, for a period of five (5) years, ending the 31st day of January, 2030, subject to the following terms, covenants, agreements and conditions to be kept and performed by Lessee, to wit: 1. Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as rent for the leased premises, the sum of One Thousand Five Hundred Sixty-Five and no/100 Dollars ($1,565.00) per month, which rent shall be paid in advance on or before the 10th day of each month during the term of this Lease as provided in Paragraph 10 hereafter. 2. Lessee shall use the leased premises solely for the storage, mechanical work on, and other servicing of aircraft belonging to Lessee. No other use of the leased premises shall be permitted or carried on without the written consent of the Lessor first had and obtained. 3. As a further consideration for the lease, it is particularly agreed that lessee shall purchase from lessor all fuel for Lessee’s aircraft, when and as required for said aircraft while they are at the Artesia Municipal Airport, and Lessee will not purchase or bring fuel from any other source onto the premises. 4. Lessee shall not attach any fixtures to or make any structural alterations in the hangar building which is the subject of this lease without the written consent of Lessor first had and obtained. As to any fixtures installed by Lessee with such consent of Lessor, the Lessee shall be entitled to remove the same at the end of the term of this lease, provided that said fixtures may be removed without damage to the premises and with the premises left in as good order as the same were prior to the installation of said fixtures, and provided further that Lessee has complied with all terms, conditions and provisions of this lease. Page 1 Return to Agenda  The Lessee shall be responsible for any minor plumbing, electrical or other repairs necessary. Lessee shall also be responsible for any major repairs that are necessitated as a result of the negligence of the Lessee or Lessee’s employees, contractors, invitees, sub-lessees or customers. 5. Lessor shall maintain its own insurance on the hangar building which is the subject of this lease, with Lessor named as an additional insured on said policy. Lessee shall, additionally, purchase and keep in place liability coverage with a minimum of $1,000.000.00 limits, which policy shall include Lessor as a named insured thereon. Proof of such insurance shall be provided to the Lessor annually. Lessee shall be responsible for maintaining insurance on all of Lessee’s personal property, tools and equipment on the leased premises. 6. Lessee shall be responsible and shall pay for all utility costs for water, gas, electricity and any other utility utilized by Lessee on the leased premises. 7. Lessee agrees that it has received the premises in good order and condition and, at the end of the Lease, Lessee will yield up the premises in as good order and condition as when received by Lessee, except for loss by catastrophe, inevitable accident, Act of God, or ordinary wear and tear. 8. All activities of Lessee on the leased premises shall be in full conformity with the laws of the United States, the State of New Mexico, and the City of Artesia, and Lessee agrees to comply with all Federal Aviation Administration regulations and rulings. 9. Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against all expenses, liabilities and claims of every kind, including reasonable counsel fees and all expenses of litigation by or on behalf of any person or entity arising out of either: a. Failure to perform any of the terms and conditions of this lease; b. Any personal injury or property damage happening on the leased premises, except for injury or property damage occurring as a result of the actions of Lessor; c. Failure to comply with any law of any governmental authority; or d. Any mechanic's lien or security interest filed against the leased premises. 10. The Lease payment hereunder shall be due on the first day of each month during the term hereof and payable without delinquency on or before the 10th day of each month during the term hereof. In the event Lessor, at its option, following Lessee’s failure to remedy the same after five days written notice thereof to Lessee, shall have the right to declare the lease forfeited and reenter the leased premises, with or without process of law, and distrain for any rent that might be due and also have any other remedies now or hereafter provided by law; and Lessor, agrees to use its best efforts to rent the leased premises to the best advantage and collect the difference between the rental Lessor is Page 2 Return to Agenda able to obtain upon such re-letting of the premises and the rental provided hereunder. 11. This Airport Hangar Lease is personal to the parties hereto, and Lessee shall not, except as provided hereafter, assign or sublet the leased premises or any portion thereof without the prior written permission of Lessor. The Lease as to the subject Hangar No. 104 was not renewed for the previous Lessee at the conclusion of the Lease term on January 31, 2024. Based upon discussions and agreements reached between Lessor and Lessee, and the continued possession of Hocker and Sons, a the previous tenant, all parties agreed to an arrangement for Hocker and Sons to remain in Hangar No. 104 and the space to be shared by Lessee and Hocker and Sons until such time as a new hangar is constructed at the Municipal Airport, with the first hangar so constructed to be offered to Hocker and Sons. Based upon the foregoing, Lessee is authorized to continue to sub-lease a portion of Hangar 104 to Hocker and Sons only for the term until the new hangar is built for lease at the Municipal Airport. 12. The provisions of this lease shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties 13. In the event of the substantial destruction of the leased premises without the willful or negligent fault of Lessee, this Airport Hangar Lease shall terminate, and Lessee shall be relieved of its duty to pay rental after such termination. Provided, however, that the parties may agree that Lessor shall rebuild or repair the leased premises, and restore the same substantially to the condition before the event causing such termination, whereupon Lessee shall re-enter the leased premises and resume payment of rentals, and this Airport Hangar Lease shall continue to the end of its term as if no such interruption had occurred. 14. In the event of default by Lessee or Lessor, the other party shall have such remedies as allowed by law, and the successful party in any litigation concerning same shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorney fees in an amount to be determined by the court. 15. In the event Lessee has well and faithfully performed all obligations of Lessee hereunder, then, upon the expiration of the five year term hereof Lessee shall have the first option to lease the subject hangar for an additional five year term, with the rental or said additional five year term to be negotiated and agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee. Both Lessor and Lessee agree to negotiate said rental, if Lessee elects to lease the hangar for an additional five year term, with utmost good faith, to the end that rental for the additional term shall fairly reflect the then market value rental of said premises. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this lease is executed as of the day and year first above written, but to be effective as set forth hereinabove.
