and condition on Lessee's part to be performed hereunder, nor from damages or other
remedy for failure to perform or meet the obligations of this Lease. The consent or
approval by either party to or of any act by either party requiring further consent or
approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary their consent or approval
to or of any subsequent similar acts.

other than facilities owned or controlled by the United States, shall be operated at all times in a
safe and serviceable condition and in accordance with the minimum standards as may be
required or prescribed by applicable Federal, state, and local agencies for maintenance and
operation. It will not cause or permit any activity or action thereon which would interfere with
its use for airport purposes. It will suitably operate and maintain the airport and all facilities
thereon or connected therewith, with due regard to climatic and flood conditions. Any proposal
to temporarily close the airport for non -aeronautical purposes must first be approved by the
Secretary. In furtherance of this assurance, the sponsor will have in effect arrangements for:
1. Operating the airport's aeronautical facilities whenever required;
2. Promptly marking and lighting hazards resulting from airport conditions, including

facility which is substantially damaged or destroyed due to an act of God or other
condition or circumstance beyond the control of the sponsor.
b. It will suitably operate and maintain noise compatibility program items that it owns or controls
- upon which Federal funds have been expended.
20. Hazard Removal and Mitigation.
It will take appropriate action to assure that such terminal airspace as is required to protect
instrument and visual operations to the airport (including established minimum flight altitudes) will
be adequately cleared and protected by removing, lowering, relocating, marking, or lighting or
otherwise mitigating existing airport hazards and by preventing the establishment or creation of
future airport hazards.
21. Compatible Land Use.
It will take appropriate action, to the extent reasonable, including the adoption of zoning laws, to
restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the airport to activities and
purposes compatible with normal airport operations, including landing and takeoff of aircraft. In
addition, if the project is for noise compatibility program implementation, it will not cause or permit
any change in land use, within its jurisdiction, that will reduce its compatibility, with respect to the
airport, of the noise compatibility program measures upon which Federal funds have been
expended.
22. Economic Nondiscrimination.
a. It will make the airport available as an airport for public use on reasonable terms and without
unjust discrimination to all types, kinds and classes of aeronautical activities, including
commercial aeronautical activities offering services to the public at the airport.
b. In any agreement, contract, lease, or other arrangement under which a right or privilege at the
airport is granted to any person, firm, or corporation to conduct or to engage in any
aeronautical activity for furnishing services to the public at the airport, the sponsor will insert
and enforce provisions requiring the contractor to:
1. Furnish said services on a reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, basis to all users
thereof, and
2. Charge reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, prices for each unit or service,
provided that the contractor may be allowed to make reasonable and nondiscriminatory
discounts, rebates, or other similar types of price reductions to volume purchasers.
c. Each fixed -based operator at the airport shall be subject to the same rates, fees, rentals, and
other charges as are uniformly applicable to all other fixed -based operators making the same or
similar uses of such airport and utilizing the same or similar facilities.
d. Each air carrier using such airport shall have the right to service itself or to use any fixed -based
operator that is authorized or permitted by the airport to serve any air carrier at such airport.
e. Each air carrier using such airport (whether as a tenant, non -tenant, or subtenant of another air
carrier tenant) shall be subject to such nondiscriminatory and substantially comparable rules,
regulations, conditions, rates, fees, rentals, and other charges with respect to facilities directly
and substantially related to providing air transportation as are applicable to all such air carriers
which make similar use of such airport and utilize similar facilities, subject to reasonable

EXHIBIT C
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4BD4D7F7-9A40-4C83-956F-4D2285CEB25E
classifications such as tenants or non -tenants and signatory carriers and non -signatory carriers.
Classification or status as tenant or signatory shall not be unreasonably withheld by any airport
provided an air carrier assumes obligations substantially similar to those already imposed on air
carriers in such classification or status.
f. It will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which operates to prevent any person, firm, or
corporation operating aircraft on the airport from performing any services on its own aircraft
with its own employees (including, but not limited to maintenance, repair, and fueling) that it
may choose to perform.
g. In the event the sponsor itself exercises any of the rights and privileges referred to in this
assurance, the services involved will be provided on the same conditions as would apply to the
furnishing of such services by commercial aeronautical service providers authorized by the
sponsor under these provisions.
h. The sponsor may establish such reasonable, and not unjustly discriminatory, conditions to be
met by all users of the airport as may be necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the
airport.
i. The sponsor may prohibit or limit any given type, kind or class of aeronautical use of the airport
if such action is necessary for the safe operation of the airport or necessary to serve the civil
aviation needs of the public.
23. Exclusive Rights.
It will permit no exclusive right for the use of the airport by any person providing, or intending to
provide, aeronautical services to the public. For purposes of this paragraph, the providing of the
services at an airport by a single fixed -based operator shall not be construed as an exclusive right if
both of the following apply:
a. It would be unreasonably costly, burdensome, or impractical for more than one fixed -based
operator to provide such services, and
b. If allowing more than one fixed -based operator to provide such services would require the
reduction of space leased pursuant to an existing agreement between such single fixed -based
operator and such airport. It further agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, grant or
permit any person, firm, or corporation, the exclusive right at the airport to conduct any
aeronautical activities, including, but not limited to charter flights, pilot training, aircraft rental
and sightseeing, aerial photography, crop dusting, aerial advertising and surveying, air carrier
operations, aircraft sales and services, sale of aviation petroleum products whether or not
conducted in conjunction with other aeronautical activity, repair and maintenance of aircraft,
sale of aircraft parts, and any other activities which because of their direct relationship to the
operation of aircraft can be regarded as an aeronautical activity, and that it will terminate any
exclusive right to conduct an aeronautical activity now existing at such an airport before the
grant of any assistance under Title 49, United States Code.
24. Fee and Rental Structure.
It will maintain a fee and rental structure for the facilities and services at the airport which will
make the airport as self-sustaining as possible under the circumstances existing at the particular
airport, taking into account such factors as the volume of traffic and economy of collection. No part
of the Federal share of an airport development, airport planning or noise compatibility project for
Airport Sponsor Assurances 5/2022 Page 11 of 19

DocuSign Envelope ID: 4BD4D7F7-9A40-4C83-956F-4D2285CEB25E
which a Grant is made under Title 49, United States Code, the Airport and Airway Improvement Act
of 1982, the Federal Airport Act or the Airport and Airway Development Act of 1970 shall be
included in the rate basis in establishing fees, rates, and charges for users of that airport.
25. Airport Revenues.
All revenues generated by the airport and any local taxes on aviation fuel established after
December 30, 1987, will be expended by it for the capital or operating costs of the airport; the
local airport system; or other local facilities which are owned or operated by the owner or
operator of the airport and which are directly and substantially related to the actual air
transportation of passengers or property; or for noise mitigation purposes on or off the airport.
The following exceptions apply to this paragraph:
1. If covenants or assurances in debt obligations issued before September 3, 1982, by the
owner or operator of the airport, or provisions enacted before September 3, 1982, in
governing statutes controlling the owner or operator's financing, provide for the use of the
revenues from any of the airport owner or operator's facilities, including the airport, to
support not only the airport but also the airport owner or operator's general debt
obligations or other facilities, then this limitation on the use of all revenues generated by
the airport (and, in the case of a public airport, local taxes on aviation fuel) shall not apply.
2. If the Secretary approves the sale of a privately owned airport to a public sponsor and
provides funding for any portion of the public sponsor's acquisition of land, this limitation
on the use of all revenues generated by the sale shall not apply to certain proceeds from
the sale. This is conditioned on repayment to the Secretary by the private owner of an
amount equal to the remaining unamortized portion (amortized over a 20-year period) of
any airport improvement grant made to the private owner for any purpose other than land
acquisition on or after October 1, 1996, plus an amount equal to the federal share of the
current fair market value of any land acquired with an airport improvement grant made to
that airport on or after October 1, 1996.
3. Certain revenue derived from or generated by mineral extraction, production, lease, or
other means at a general aviation airport (as defined at 49 U.S.C. § 47102), if the FAA
determines the airport sponsor meets the requirements set forth in Section 813 of Public
Law 112-95.
b. As part of the annual audit required under the Single Audit Act of 1984, the sponsor will direct
that the audit will review, and the resulting audit report will provide an opinion concerning, the
use of airport revenue and taxes in paragraph (a), and indicating whether funds paid or
transferred to the owner or operator are paid or transferred in a manner consistent with Title
49, United States Code and any other applicable provision of law, including any regulation
promulgated by the Secretary or Administrator.
c. Any civil penalties or other sanctions will be imposed for violation of this assurance in
accordance with the provisions of 49 U.S.C. § 47107.
26. Reports and Inspections.
It will:
a. submit to the Secretary such annual or special financial and operations reports as the Secretary
may reasonably request and make such reports available to the public; make available to the
Airport Sponsor Assurances 5/2022
Page 12 of 19
EXHIBIT C

public at reasonable times and places a report of the airport budget in a format prescribed by
the Secretary;
b. for airport development projects, make the airport and all airport records and documents
affecting the airport, including deeds, leases, operation and use agreements, regulations and
other instruments, available for inspection by any duly authorized agent of the Secretary upon
reasonable request;
c. for noise compatibility program projects, make records and documents relating to the project
and continued compliance with the terms, conditions, and assurances of this Grant Agreement
including deeds, leases, agreements, regulations, and other instruments, available for
inspection by any duly authorized agent of the Secretary upon reasonable request; and
d. in a format and time prescribed by the Secretary, provide to the Secretary and make available
to the public following each of its fiscal years, an annual report listing in detail:
1. all amounts paid by the airport to any other unit of government and the purposes for
which each such payment was made; and
2. all services and property provided by the airport to other units of government and the
amount of compensation received for provision of each such service and property.
27. Use by Government Aircraft.
It will make available all of the facilities of the airport developed with Federal financial assistance
and all those usable for landing and takeoff of aircraft to the United States for use by Government
aircraft in common with other aircraft at all times without charge, except, if the use by Government
aircraft is substantial, charge may be made for a reasonable share, proportional to such use, for the
cost of operating and maintaining the facilities used. Unless otherwise determined by the Secretary,
or otherwise agreed to by the sponsor and the using agency, substantial use of an airport by
Government aircraft will be considered to exist when operations of such aircraft are in excess of
those which, in the opinion of the Secretary, would unduly interfere with use of the landing areas
by other authorized aircraft, or during any calendar month that:
Five (5) or more Government aircraft are regularly based at the airport or on land adjacent
thereto; or
b. The total number of movements (counting each landing as a movement) of Government
aircraft is 300 or more, or the gross accumulative weight of Government aircraft using the
airport (the total movement of Government aircraft multiplied by gross weights of such
aircraft) is in excess of five million pounds.
28. Land for Federal Facilities.
It will furnish without cost to the Federal Government for use in connection with any air traffic
control or air navigation activities, or weather -reporting and communication activities related to air
traffic control, any areas of land or water, or estate therein as the Secretary considers necessary or
desirable for construction, operation, and maintenance at Federal expense of space or facilities for
such purposes. Such areas or any portion thereof will be made available as provided herein within
four months after receipt of a written request from the Secretary.

29. Airport Layout Plan.
a. Subject to the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, Public Law 115-254, Section 163, it will keep up
to date at all times an airport layout plan of the airport showing:
1. boundaries of the airport and all proposed additions thereto, together with the boundaries
of all offsite areas owned or controlled by the sponsor for airport purposes and proposed
additions thereto;
2. the location and nature of all existing and proposed airport facilities and structures (such

SECTION 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY - PRINCIPLES APPLYING
It is the policy of the City to operate and develop FCH as a reliever airport for the City's
airline airport, FYI, with FCH primarily serving general aviation Aircraft. Both Airports
will be operated and developed by the Department as a financially self-supporting,
complementary system of airports serving the entire range of airport users safely,
securely and efficiently, offering reliable, high quality aviation products and services to
meet the air transportation needs and desires of the region's citizens, visitors,
commerce and economy in an environmentally friendly manner and as a good neighbor.
EXHIBIT D
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4BD4D7F7-9A40-4C83-956F-4D2285CEB25E
To meet these policy goals, the Department shall be guided by the following principles:
1. No Entity may regularly engage in any Revenue Generating Aviation Activity at,
on or from the Airport without first entering a written Agreement with the City
which will prescribe the Revenue Generating Aviation Activity or Activities
authorized and/or required to be offered.
2. Entities so authorized will be required to make a financial investment in
Improvements and/or Equipment sufficient to satisfy the reasonably anticipated
demand for the Business(es) authorized.
3. The rents, fees and/or charges charged to their clients and customers by
authorized Entities shall not be higher than are reasonable and customary in that
trade or business in Central California.
4. The rents, fees and/or charges charged by the Department shall be fair and not
unduly discriminatory, taking into consideration the Department's direct and
indirect costs of providing, maintaining, servicing and keeping secure the Airport,
including the rented or Subleased Premises, the market value of same, the
revenue potential of the Revenue Generating Aviation Activities authorized and
their relative importance to the region. Before commencing Business operations,
authorized Entities shall post and maintain security equivalent to not less than
three months' of the anticipated rents fees and/or charges payable to the
Department.
5. The term of any Agreement, including any options to extend, shall be no longer
than required to reasonably amortize the investment in Improvements to Airport
Premises that the Lessee is required to make.
6. In addition to compliance with all applicable building, zoning and hazard codes
and the FCH Specific Plan, all Improvements must be approved by the
Department as to architectural suitability, location and height with respect to
other Airport facilities. No Improvement will be permitted that in any way
interferes with or derogates Airport operations, or other Airport facilities, or
encroaches into or conflicts with any building restriction line or safety area
depicted on the current ALP.
7. The then effective Airport Master Plan and FCH Specific Plan shall control the
types, placement and sizing of all future facilities at the Airport. No extant facility
that does not conform with the then current Airport Master Plan and FCH Specific
Plan shall be used or leased on terms that might impede or delay the timely
development of the Airport in conformity with the then current Airport Master Plan
and FCH Specific Plan, nor shall any Improvements to such facility be allowed if
that might impede or delay timely subsequent development of the Airport in
conformity with the said Master Plan and FCH Specific Plan.
EXHIBIT D

8. The highest and best use shall be made of the limited Airport premises so as to
maximize the capacity of the Airports system to meet the air transportation needs
and desires of the Airports' region. Lower or lesser uses may be authorized on
an interim basis to provide interim revenues to the Department, but any such
lower or lesser use(s) shall be on bases that will not impede or delay the
eventual highest and best use. Hangars shall be used for the storage of Aircraft
that are Airworthy or in the process of being made Airworthy and Aircraft
associated support materials, AND/OR in the case of authorized FBOs or SASOs
