CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: JUNE 25, 2025 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROPRIATION OF FY 2024 SETTLEMENT AND AIRPORT REVENUE
SHARING CREDITS TO SIGNATORY AIRLINES OPERATING AT PALM
SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT PER THE TERMS OF THE
AIRPORT USE AND LEASE AGREEMENT
FROM: Scott C. Stiles, City Manager
BY: Department of Aviation
SUMMARY:
This action approves the appropriation and remittance of the FY 2024 Settlement and Airport Revenue Sharing credits pursuant to the contractual requirements of Sections of
6.05 and 6.06 of the Airport Use and Lease Agreement (AULA) (Attachment A) for the Palm Springs International Airport (Airport), as previously approved by City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve appropriation and remittance of the FY 2024 Settlement and Airport Revenue Sharing credits to the Airport’s seven Signatory Airlines; Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines and WestJet (Signatory Airlines).
2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to remit payments to each Signatory Airline in the amounts calculated by the Airport and Finance Department.
BACKGROUND:
The current AULA was approved by City Council on April 27, 2023 and took effect July 1, 2023 for a term of five (5) years, expiring June 30, 2028. In the approximately 20 years prior to the current AULA taking effect, airline rates and charges were calculated on a fully residual basis. Under these residual calculations, all non-airline revenues generated at the Airport were credited to airlines rates, keeping airline rates low which limited the Airport’s near- and long-term capital financing capacity by limiting the accumulation of cash reserves. With the implementation of the current AULA, the Airport and the Signatory Airlines share equally any net revenues at the end of each fiscal year, improving the Airport’s funding capacity by allowing the Airport to accumulate cash reserves for capital Item 1M - Page 1

Airline Settlement and Revenue Sharing Payments
investment. Per this AULA contractual requirement, after the close of the year and the payment of all Airport financial requirements has been satisfied, the Airport must remit a portion of the Airport net revenues generated in the prior fiscal year to the Signatory Airlines.
The amounts to be paid by the City to each Signatory Airline under this appropriation are contractually required per the terms of the AULA and are comprised of two components, each described below.
First, the Settlement calculation (or “true-up”) of airline rates and charges is specified by the AULA and is performed after the close of the Fiscal Year and is the difference between: A) Signatory Airline payments made based on rates and charges set assuming budgeted revenues, expenses, and air traffic activity; and B) the amounts owed per the airline rates and charges calculated based on actual revenues , expenses, and air traffic activity.
Section 6.05 of the AULA states:
As soon as possible following the completion of the City’s annual independent financial audit, City shall furnish Airline with an accounting of the costs and expenses actually incurred, actual allocations for direct and indirect expenses, revenues and other credits actually realized (reconciled to the annual independent financial audit of the City), and actual Enplaned Passengers and Landed Weight during such Fiscal Year with respect to each of the components of the calculation of the various rates, fees, and charges identified in Exhibit D and shall recalculate the rates, fees, and charges required for the Fiscal Year based on those actual costs and revenues.
In the event that Airline’s rentals, fees, and charges billed and paid during the prior Fiscal Year were more than the amount of Airline’s rentals, fees, and charges required (as recalculated based on actual costs and revenues), such excess amount shall be paid in a lump sum by City to Airline within sixty (60) days of the calculation of such final settlement.
In the event that Airline’s rentals, fees, and charges billed and paid during the prior Fiscal Year were less than the amount of Airline’s rentals, fees, and charges required (as recalculated based on actual costs and revenues), such deficiency shall be billed to Airline and payable by Airline within sixty (60) days of the date of invoice.
The Airport, in coordination with the Finance Department, has calculated the payments owed to the Airport that reflect actual activity, revenues, and expenses for FY 2024. The Settlement calculation of airline rates and charges incorporated actual airline activity (enplaned passengers, aircraft turns, and landed weight), actual revenues, and actual expenses. Airline payments were calculated to total $13,185,182 versus the $12,889,157 in payments the airlines made during the course of FY 2024. The underpayment of airline Item 1M - Page 2

Airline Settlement and Revenue Sharing Payments
rates to the Airport totals $296,025, the difference between these two amounts.
Second, the Airport Revenue Sharing calculation is specified in Section 6.06 of the AULA, whereby Signatory Airlines operating at the Airport are entitled to fifty percent (50%) of Net Remaining Airport Revenues at the end of each Fiscal Year.
Section 6.06 of the AULA states:
Beginning with Fiscal Year 2024 and continuing for each Fiscal Year thereafter, in conjunction with calculation of Settlement described in Section 6.05, City will share with the Signatory Airlines a portion of Net Remaining Airport Revenues calculated in accordance with Exhibit D. The Signatory Airlines’ percentage of Revenue Sharing on Net Remaining Airport Revenues will be Fifty percent (50%) for Fiscal Year 2024 – Fiscal Year 2028. Should this Agreement be extended in accordance with Section 2.02, the Signatory Airlines’ percentage of Revenue Sharing on Net Remaining Airport Revenues will be Fifty percent (50%).
Airline’s portion of the Revenue Sharing on Net Remaining Airport Revenues shall be an amount equal to the Airline’s proportionate share of total Signatory Airlines’ Total Enplaned Passengers during a Fiscal Year. City shall prepare statements of adjusted rates for rentals, fees, and charges with the calculation of Revenue Sharing included and transmit the same to Airline for the Fiscal Year for which Airport Revenue Sharing has been calculated. Within sixty (60) days of the calculation of such Fiscal Year Settlement, City shall remit a lump sum payment representing Airline’s proportionate share of such Revenue Sharing.
While the Settlement amounts may result in airline overpayments in some fiscal years and underpayments in others, the Airport Revenue Sharing amounts will always result in a credit owed from the Airport to the Signatory Airlines.
Prior to the current AULA, airline payments from FY2014 to FY2019 were calculated on a fully residual basis, meaning that one hundred percent (100%) of Airport non-airline revenues were automatically credited to the Signatory Airlines throug h in the rate calculations themselves. The term of the prior agreement. Airline rates and charges were fixed from FY 2020 to FY 2023, as the City used federal COVID -19 relief grants to meet any airline revenue deficiencies, and there was no settlement during this period.
In FY 2024, the Net Remaining Airport Revenues calculation was based on total Operating Revenues of $45,117,828, total Operating Expenses of $33,835,430, and total Capital Expenditures and Capital Outlays of $1,571,779 resulting in Net Remaining Airport Revenues of $9,710,620. This amount is to be shared equally between the Signatory Airlines (allocated on the basis of FY 2024 enplaned passengers) and the Airport. Fifty percent (50%) of Net Remaining Airport Revenues equals $4,855,310.
The underpayment owed to the Airport per the Settlement calculation is netted out of the airline share of the Airport Revenue Sharing amount resulting in a total payment to the Item 1M - Page 3
City Council Staff Report
June 25, 2025 -- Page 4
Airline Settlement and Revenue Sharing Payments
Signatory Airlines for FY 2024 of $4,559,285.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The prior AULA prescribed an airport-wide full residual ratemaking methodology wherein one hundred percent (100%) of all non- airline revenues generated at the Airport were credited against the calculation of airline rates and fees.
FY 2024 was the first Fiscal Year the current AULA was in effect and wherein the City retained 50% of Net Remaining Airport Revenues for the purposes of meeting future capital needs. Amounts of similar magnitude are anticipated to be owed to the Signatory Airlines in each subsequent Fiscal Year the AULA is in effect per Section 6.06.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT:
The requested City Council action is not a “Project” as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to Section 15378(a), a “Project” means the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in th e environment. According to Section 15378(b), a “Project” does not include: (5) Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING:
Approval of this action supports City Council priority 3A, Community Infrastructure – Improve City Facilities , and it also supports the Airport’s 2025- 2029 Strategic Plan’s Strategic Priorities for Operational Excellence and Infrastructure.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The following table presents the payments calculated pursuant to the AULA and reflective of A) the Settlement calculation of rates and charges and B) the fifty percent (50%) share of Net Remaining Airport Revenues.

Recognizing that physical and financial limitations may preclude timely expansion of the Airport to meet the stated requests of the Airline or other Air Transportation Companies (“Requesting Airline”) for addit ional facilities at the Airport, Airline acknowledges that it may be necessary for Air Transportation Companies operating at the Airport, including Airline, to share Preferential Use Space from time to time subject to existing agreements, leases, and the Airport Rules and Regulations. Airline further acknowledges that City may also have a need to accommodate the immediate, non-recurring needs of an Air Transportation Company, such as charters, and flights delayed or diverted due to weather or mechanical reasons.
B. It is the policy of City , to the extent reasonably practicable, to accommodate a Requesting Airline’s need for facilities at the Airport in the following manner: (1) first, by City offering the use of unleased space in the Item 1M - Page 33
Section 3.05
Airport Use and Lease Agreement – Final Dated October 24, 2022 23 Terminal Building to a Requesting Airline and entering into an agreement with the Requesting Airline for the use and occupancy of such unleased space; (2) second, through the use of a City -approved sublease agreement between an Air Transportation Company with an existing agreement with the City and a Requesting Airline; (3) third, through an existing Air Transportation Company accommodation of a Requesting Airline for use of Preferential Use Space as may be required by the City ; (4) fourth, through the reassignment of an existing Air Transportation Company’s Preferential Use Space in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.11 of this Agreement; and (5) fifth, through the expansion of Airport facilities, unless in the opinion of City, the physical, financial, or time limitations make such expansion impractical.
C. The parties acknowledge and agree that any accommodation agreement made by Airline with a Requesting Airline voluntarily , or pursuant to a directive from City, shall recognize Airline’s Preferential Use privileges assigned to the Preferential Use Space in question and the necessity that the Requesting Airline’s operations be compatible with those of the Airline.
Accommodation of Air Transportation Companies
A. Upon receipt of a request for an accommodation by a Requesting Airline, the Executive Director will require the Requesting Airline to first coordinate directly with the Signatory Airlines if the Airport facilities being requested, such as an Aircraft Gate, are not available. Airline shall cooperate in good faith with t he Executive Director to accommodate the needs of a Requesting Airline by permitting such Requesting Airline to utilize Airline’s Preferential Use Space for such time period(s) as reasonably necessary to permit the Requesting Airline’s scheduled operations at such times when the use of such facilities will not interfere with Airline’s operations , or those of its Affiliates, approved sub- licensees or Air Transportation Companies being handled by Airline.
B. In the event a Requesting Airline and the Signatory Airlines are unable to reach an agreement regarding the Requesting Airline’s requested Item 1M - Page 34
Section 3.06
Airport Use and Lease Agreement – Final Dated October 24, 2022 24 accommodation, the Executive Director will determine whether any Air Transportation Company operating at the Airport, including Airline, has the ability to accommodate any or all of such Requesting Airline’s proposed operations. If the Executive Director determines that Airline has the ability to accommodate the Requesting Airline’s proposed operations, the Executive Director will notify Airline in writing of its determination. In the event Airline objects to the Executive Director’s determination, Airline may notify t he Executive Director of its objection within fifteen (15) days of the date of the Executive Director’s notice, which shall include the reasons why Airline believes that it will be unable to accommodate the Requesting Airline. In making its final determination , the Executive Director shall consider Airline’s capabilities, capacity, facilities, plans for future operations, and personnel, Airline’s requirements and contractual obligations, the compatibility of the Requesting Airline’s proposed operations with those of Airline, and the need for labor harmony. If the Executive Director, after considering the information, if any, provided by Airline, reasonably determines that Airline has the capability to accommodate a Requesting Airline, City may direct Airline, in writing, to accommodate the Requesting Airline to the extent of, and during those periods when, the Executive Director deems reasonable and shall provide Airline and the Requesting Airline with a written statement specifying the terms and conditions of the accommodation which shall (i) not interfere with the Airline’s scheduled flights and (ii) commence no earlier than 30 days after delivery of such written statement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to any Requesting Airline being permitted to use Airline’s leased Airline P remises, the Executive Director shall require such Requesting Airline to indemnify Airline and its officers, directors, employees, agents and A ffiliates against any claims, damages, injuries and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from the acts or omissions of the Requesting Airline, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and A ffiliates and deliver to Airline reasonably satisfactory evidence of insurance coverage, which insurance shall provide at least the coverages (including amounts) as are required of Airline under this Agreement, and name Airline as an additional insured party. Such indemnification provision, among other things, shall be included in a Item 1M - Page 35
Airport Use and Lease Agreement – Final Dated October 24, 2022 25 written agreement between Airline and Requesting Airline prior to any Requesting Airline being permitted to use Airline’s leased Airline Premises/ C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the requirements of this Section 3.06 be construed to authorize the City to require Airline to alter its scheduled operations, or those of its Affiliates and Air Transportation Companies that are ground handled by Airline, in order to accommodate a Requesting Airline.
In addition, the requirements of this Section 3.06 shall not apply to Airline’s Exclusive Use Space.
D. If Airline accommodates another Air Transportation Company pursuant to this Section 3.06, the Requesting Airline shall pay to the City BHS Fees, Joint Use Fees, Per Use Fees – Aircraft Gate, and Per Use Fees – Ticket Counter, as appropriate and applicable, for space utilized by Requesting Airline.
City will credit the amount of the Per Use Fees to Airline for such accommodation.

Section 3.07
Airport Use and Lease Agreement – Final Dated October 24, 2022 26 Transportation Companies already being accommodated or ground handled by Airline at the time a flight requiring accommodation will arrive; provided, however, the overnight parking of Airline's aircraft at an Aircraft Gate , or at any other time beginning ninety (90) minutes following the arrival of an aircraft and ending one (1) hour before its scheduled departure shall not be deemed an occupied Aircraft Gate for the purposes of this Article, provided that the Executive Director has designated an alternative park ing position for such aircraft. Executive Director will provide Airline reasonable advance notice of the need to relocate Airline’s aircraft at an Aircraft Gate.
C. If Airline accommodates another Air Transportation Company ’s flight pursuant to this Section 3.07, Requesting Airline shall pay to City BHS Fees, Per Use Fees – Aircraft Gate, Per Use Fees – Ticket Counter, and Joint Use Fees as appropriate for space utilized by Requesting Airline.

Section 3.08
Section 3.09
Airport Use and Lease Agreement – Final Dated October 24, 2022 27 Minimum Activity Level
A. On or before July 1 of each year of this Agreement, the City will provide Airline a Preferential Aircraft Gate and Ticket Counter Use Analysis for the immediately preceding six month period. Airline’s average Preferential Aircraft Gate and Ticket Counter use will be calculated by dividing the total number of the Airline’s Turns during the period evaluated by the Preferential Aircraft Gate and Ticket Counter Use Analysis by the total number of preferentially assigned Ticket Counter(s) and Aircraft Gate(s) assigned to Airline. Preferential Aircraft Gate and Ticket Counter Use will be reviewed annually to monitor current use.
B. The Executive Director reserves the right to reassign Airline’s Preferential Aircraft Gate and Ticket Counter Space to another Signatory or Non- Signatory Airline if: (1) Airline’s Preferential Aircraft Gate and Ticket Counter Use Analysis indicates Airline’s use of a preferentially assigned Aircraft Gate or Ticket Counter falls below an average of four (4) Turns per day (“Minimum Activity Level”); (2) t he Executive Director determines that there is a reasonable need for the Airline’s preferentially assigned Aircraft Gate or Ticket Counter by another Signatory or Non-Signatory Airline and the other Signatory or Non-Signatory Airline meets the required four (4) Turns per day minimum; (3) the City has no available Aircraft Gates or Ticket Counter available to assign to the other Signatory or Non- Signatory Airline; and (4) there are no unassigned Aircraft Gates or Ticket Counter Space used by other Signatory Airlines with lower average weekday utilization.
Prior to such reassignment becoming effective, Airline shall have a one -hundred eighty (180) day period to adjust its schedule to four (4) or more Turns per day to avoid reassignment. When determining a specific Preferential Use Aircraft Gate or Ticket Counter to be reassigned, the Executive Director shall coordinate with Airline to ensure that the space Airline retains will be sufficient to support Airline’s operations at the Airport.
Reassignment of Preferential Use Space
If, at any time, the Executive Director determines that Airline does not meet Item 1M - Page 38

Section 3.11
Airport Use and Lease Agreement – Final Dated October 24, 2022 28 the Minimum Activity Level for Preferential Use Space as set forth in Section 3.10, the Executive Director may cancel Airline’s Preferential Use of such underutilized Preferential Use Space by giving Airline at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. If during the thirty (30) days’ notice period provided above Airline institutes additional scheduled aircraft arrivals and departures for the purpose of loading and unloading passengers, which would exceed the number of flights in place by the secondary user, then Airline shall have the right to retain Airline’s Preferential Use of such Preferential Use Space.
Additional Preferential Use Space
Should Airline’s Preferential Aircraft Gate and Ticket Counter Use Analysis indicate that the number of Turns for an assigned Preferential Use Aircraft Gate or Ticket Counter exceed seven (7) per day or should Airline provide City with a published schedule showing seven (7) Turns a day at such preferentially assigned Aircraft Gate or Ticket Counter during an upcoming six (6) month period, the Executive Director may assign a second Preferential Use Gate and additional Preferential Use Ticket Counter Space to Airline subject to availability of such Preferential Use Space.
Use of Aircraft Gates Not Assigned on a Preferential Use Basis Any Aircraft Gate that is not assigned by the Executive Director as a Preferential Use Gate (“Non-Preferential Use Gate”) may be utilized by a Signatory or Non-Signatory Airline, when available, and subject to the Executive Director ’s assignment. Use of a Non-Preferential Use Gate will be subject to the Rates and Fees on a Per-Use basis as identified in Exhibit “D.”

If any Default by Airline shall continue uncured following notice of Default for the period applicable to the Default under the provisions of this Agreement, or if the Default is not curable, City shall have the following remedies:
A. City may, at its election, terminate this Agreement by giving Airline notice of termination. No acts by City other than giving written notice to Airline shall terminate this Agreement. Acts of maintenance and efforts to relet, assign, reassign, allocate, reallocate, or relocate Airline P remises shall not constitute a termination of Airline's right to possession. On the giving of the notice, all Airline’s rights in the Airline Premises and in all improvements shall terminate. Termination under this Section 14.02(A) shall not relieve Airline from the payment of any sum then due City or from any claim for damages previously accrued or then accruing Item 1M - Page 92
Section 14.02
Airport Use and Lease Agreement – Final Dated October 24, 2022 82 against Airline.
B. City may, at its election, reenter Airline Premises by giving Airline notice of such election and, without terminating this Agreement, City may at any time relet Airline Premises and improvements or any parts thereof for the account and in the name of Airline or otherwise. City may execute any agreements made under this provision either in City’s name or in Airline's name and shall be entitled to all rents from the use, operation or occupancy of the Airline P remises or improvements or both. Airline shall nevertheless pay to City , on the due date specified in this Agreement, the equivalent of all sums required of Airline under this Agreement, plus City’s expenses, less the avails of any releting or attornment.
In addition to all other rights and remedies it may have, City shall have all of the rights and remedies of a landlord pursuant to Section 1951.2 and 1951.4 of the California Civil Code:
1. In the event that Airline breaches this Agreement and abandons the Airline Premises before the end of the Term hereof, or if Airline ’s right to possession is terminated by City because of a breach of this Agreement, this Agreement terminates. Upon such termination, the City may recover from Airline:
a. The “worth at the time of award” of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of termination;
b. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss th at Airline proves could have been reasonably avoided;
c. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term hereof after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Airline proves could reasonably be avoided; and
Item 1M - Page 93
Airport Use and Lease Agreement – Final Dated October 24, 2022 83 d. Any other amount necessary to compensate City for all the detriment proximately caused by Airline ’s failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom.
2. The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in Section 14.02 (B) (1) (a) i s computed by allowing interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) or, if the maximum charge permitted by law is less than the foregoing amount, then the rate shall be such amount determined to be the maximum legal amount. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in Section 14.02 (B) (1) (c) is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).
3. Damages which City may recover pursuant to Section 14.02 (B) (1) (c) include the “worth at the time of award ” of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period that Airline proves could be reasonably avoided; City may also recover damages pursuant to Section 14.02 (B) (1) (c) in the event that City relets the Airline Premises prior to the time of award and proves that in releting the property it acted reasonably and in a good- faith effort to mitigate the damages.
4. Efforts by City to mitigate the damages caused by Airlines breach of this Agreement do not waive City’s right to recover damages pursuant to said Section 1951.2 and this Section.
5. Nothing in this Section affects the right of City under this Agreement to indemnification for liability arising prior to the termination of this Agreement for personal injuries or property damage, as herein provided.
Item 1M - Page 94
Airport Use and Lease Agreement – Final Dated October 24, 2022 84
6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (City may continue lease in effect after Airline’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if Airline has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). In the event of Lessee’s breach of this Agreement and abandonment of the Airline Premises, pursuant to Section 1951.4 of the California Civil Code, City may, at its sole option, elect to continue this Agreement and enforce all its rights and remedies herein against Airline, including the right to recover the Rent as it becomes due.
C. City shall be entitled at its election to damages and shall have all the remedies available by law.
Possession by City
When giving notice of termination or notice of election to reenter the Airline Premises, City may take possession upon fifteen (15) calendar days ’ notice or such later date as may be specified in such notice.
No Remedy Exclusive
No remedy conferred herein upon or reserved to City is intended to be exclusive and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle City to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required in this Agreement or by law.
Waiver and Voluntary Acts
No waiver of any breach or Default shall constitute a waiver of any other Item 1M - Page 95
Section 14.03
Section 14.04
Section 14.05
Airport Use and Lease Agreement – Final Dated October 24, 2022 85 breach or Default, whether of the same or any other term, agreement or condition.
No waiver, benefit, privilege or service voluntarily given or performed by either party shall give the other any contractual right by custom, estoppel or otherwise.
The subsequent acceptance of rent, fees or other money payments pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any preceding breach or Default by Airline other than Default in the payment of the particular rental payment so accepted regardless of City ’s knowledge of the preceding breach at the time of accepting this payment. Acceptance of rent, fees or other money payments a fter termination shall not constitute a reinstatement, extension or renewal of the Agreement or revocation of any notice or other act by City.
Additional Remedy in Bankruptcy
The parties hereto expressly agree, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, that in the event that Airline becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code and this Agreement has not been terminated prior to the commencement of Airline's bankruptcy proceedings, all rents, fees and charges payable by Airline to, or on behalf of, City hereunder, whether or not expressly denominated as rent, shall constitute rent solely for the purposes of calculating City's damage pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 502(b)(6) or any similar provision of the Bankruptcy Code, in the event that this Agreement is rejected in such bankruptcy proceeding.
Events Permitting Termination of Agreement by Airline
If City is in Default of any material portion of this Agreement, Airline may terminate this Agreement and terminate all of its future obligations hereunder at any time that Airline is not in Default in its payments or other obligations to City hereunder, and such Default continues for a period of sixty (60) calendar days after receipt of written notice of such Default from Airline.
