_a corporation duly organized and existing under the
laws of the State
In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, Licensor and Licensee agree as follows:
1. Airport Use. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Licensor grants to Licensee a nonexclusive right to use Chicago O'Hare International Airport ("Airport") solely for the landing, taking off, flying over, taxiing, loading, and unloading of aircraft operated by Licensee, and any functions incidental thereto. In furtherance thereof, Licensee may be permitted to use such apron and ramp areas for loading and unloading as may be designated by the Commissioner of the Department of Aviation ("Commissioner"). This License shall not enlarge or diminish Licensee's rights regarding any use of other airport facilities to which it may be entitled by virtue of other contractual relationships.
2. Term. The term of the License shall be for one calendar month, commencing on
_, 2011 and continuing for additional periods of one (1) calendar
month each, not to exceed a total of three (3) years. The License is revocable at will by the Commissioner, with or without cause, provided the Commissioner first gives Licensee thirty (30) days written notice in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Licensee shall provide Licensor with written notice no less than thirty (30) days prior to discontinuance of operations at the Airport.
3. Fees and Charges. In return for the use of the facilities and for the privileges granted herein, Licensee agrees to pay to Licensor landing fees based upon the Landing Fee Rates payable by Airline Parties calculated as provided in the Chicago O'Hare International Airport Amended and Restated Airport Use Agreement and Terminal Facilities Lease (as amended, the "Airport Use Agreement") and such other fees and charges at the Airport, as may be applicable including but not limited to common use gate fees, without need for notice or demand by Licensor and without deduction or set off.
No additional charges shall be assessed in the event that Licensee's aircraft departs from the Airport for another destination, and the aircraft, without making a stop at some other airport, is forced to return to and land at the Airport
because of meteorological conditions, mechanical or operating causes, or for any similar emergency or precautionary reason.
Upon the expiration or termination of the License, Licensee shall continue to be entitled to receive any amounts due to Licensee as a result of any overpayment of landing fees relating to any landings of Licensee during the term of the License and shall continue to be liable to Licensor for any underpayment of landing fees relating to any landings of Licensee during the term of the License calculated as provided in the Airport Use Agreement.
Monthly Activity Report. Licensee shall furnish to Licensor on or before the 10th day of each month, in such form and detail as may be requested by the Commissioner, a true and accurate report of Licensee's operations at the Airport during the preceding month, setting forth all data necessary to calculate the fees and charges due and owing the City. This report shall include, but shall not necessarily be limited to, Licensee's total number of landings for the month by type of aircraft; the maximum gross certified landing weight of each aircraft; the total number of enplaning and deplaning passengers; and the amount of cargo, freight, and mail loaded and unloaded for such month. Licensee shall certify the report and send it to the Commissioner in care of the Department of Aviation Finance Department, Chicago O'Hare International Airport, and P.O.

Following receipt of the monthly activity report, Licensor shall transmit to Licensee a statement of the fees and charges incurred by Licensee during the reported month and the fees and charges shall be paid by Licensee no more than fifteen (15) days after the date of the statement. Notwithstanding acceptance by Licensor of any payment made by Licensee, Licensor shall have the right to question the accuracy of Licensee's reports, and to audit Licensee's records upon which such reports were based. Licensee agrees to maintain original copies of all such reports for a minimum of three (3) years from the date of creation and to make them readily available at the Department of Aviation Finance, upon reasonable demand therefore by Licensor.
If Licensee fails to furnish Licensor with the monthly activity report when due, Licensee's landing fee shall be determined by assuming that the Licensee's total landed weight for such month was 200% of its total landed weight for the highest reported month for which such data is available for Licensee. Any necessary adjustment in such landing fee shall not be calculated by Licensor until an accurate report is delivered to Licensor by Licensee. Resulting surpluses or deficits shall be applied as credits or charges to the statement issued for the next succeeding month.
Licensee shall make all payments when due at the Office of the City Comptroller, Room 420, 333 S. State, Chicago, IL 60604-3976, or at such other place as may be designated by the Office of the City Comptroller.
