Rail Company shall supply to the Authority, within thirty (30) calendar days of the Authority’s written request, the books and records required to be maintained and any other financial or statistical reports or records that the Authority may reasonably request for the purpose of determining the accuracy of the Gross Receipts reported by Rail Company. Rail Company shall account for all revenues of any nature related to transactions in connection with the Concession Premises in a manner which segregates in detail those transactions from other transactions of Rail Company and which supports the amounts reported to the Authority in Rail Company’s monthly “Gross Receipts Report.” Employment records and reports will not be considered business records available for inspection by the Authority. At a minimum, Rail Company’s accounting for such receipts shall include the following:

 

 

 

 

 

 

f.          Such records may be in the form of (a) electronic media generally compatible with the Authority’s computers, or (b) a computer run hard copy, or (c) upon request a computer text file recorded on electronic media in a format that is compatible with, and that can be imported into Microsoft Excel™, or similar format acceptable to the Authority. Records in electronic media shall be maintained as provided in Article 7. The Executive Director may require other records necessary in his determination to enable the accurate inspection, examination, or audit of Rail Company’s Gross Receipts hereunder, including, but not limited to amounts billed or received from third parties. In order to facilitate the inspection, examination, or audit performed by the Authority, Rail Company agrees to make suitable arrangements with the independent certified public accountant, who is responsible for preparing the audit report on behalf of Rail Company, pursuant to Article 7.04 above, to make available to the Authority’s designated representative(s) for review, any and all working papers relevant to the audit performed by the independent certified public accountant. Rail Company (at no cost to Rail Company) shall also lend such assistance and support to the Authority and the Authority may reasonably request in the conduct of any Rail Project passenger origin/destination, or other survey as the Authority reasonably deems necessary. Upon thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice from the Executive Director, all such books and records, including the general ledger and bank statements and all state and local sales tax returns relating to Rail Company’s Gross Receipts, shall be made available, either at Rail Company’s office located in the Terminal Complex, or at the Executive Director’s option, at the offices of the Authority, for inspection by the Authority through its duly authorized representatives at any time for up to four (4) years subsequent to expiration of the calendar year to which such books and records relate (and Rail Company shall not be obligated to retain such books and records subsequent to the termination of such four (4) year period); provided, however, that any such inspection will be conducted during reasonable business hours and in such a manner and at such time as not to interfere unduly with the conduct of Rail Company’s business. In the event that exclusions, deductions, or allocations reducing Gross Receipts are not supported or substantiated by such records, all such amounts shall be deemed Gross Receipts for purposes of determining amounts payable to the Authority. If, prior to the expiration of the above stated four (4) year record retention period, any inspection, examination, audit or investigation is commenced by the Authority, or any claim is made or litigation commenced relating to the Agreement by the Authority, Rail Company, or a third party, Rail Company shall continue to maintain all such records, and the Authority shall continue to have the right to inspect such records in the manner stated above, until the inspection, examination, audit, claim, or litigation is finally resolved (including the determination of any and all appeals or the expiration of time for an appeal). This provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Rail Company not wish to make its books and records available for inspection, examination or audit at Rail Company’s office located in the Terminal Complex, Rail Company shall have the option of either having said books and records transported to a location at the primary offices of the Authority for said inspection, examination, or audit, or having the inspection, examination, or audit performed at a location where Rail Company maintains its records within thirty (30) calendar days of the Authority’s written request. If Rail Company elects to have the inspection, examination, or audit performed at a location outside the Orlando MSA, Rail Company shall pay the Authority for travel and lodging expenses actually incurred in connection with such inspection, examination, or audit, in accordance with the Authority’s adopted travel policies, from the auditor’s duty station to the location at which the books and records are maintained for each day of travel and on-site work. After the first inspections, examination, or audit is completed, the Authority will ▇▇▇▇ Rail Company for such travel expenses and Rail Company shall promptly pay such ▇▇▇▇. The Authority shall further have the right, upon reasonable written notice to Rail Company from the Executive Director and at the sole cost of the Authority except as specified below, to inspect examine or audit, or designate a representative to inspect examine or audit the books and records of Rail Company which relate to its operations hereunder to determine the correctness of the Concession Fees paid by Rail Company to the Authority for any or all of the Agreement Periods. Such shall include, but is not limited to, a review of the general input, processing and output controls, information systems, using read only access, for all computer applications used to record financial transactions and information. If, as a result of such inspection examination or audit, it is established that the Concession Fees for any Agreement Period have been underpaid to the Authority, Rail Company shall forthwith, upon written demand from the Executive Director, pay the difference to the Authority, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, from the date such amount or amounts should have been paid. Further, if such examination establishes that Rail Company has underpaid Concession Fees and/or Annual Rent for any Agreement Period by two percent (2%) or more, then the entire reasonable expense of such examination shall be borne by Rail Company. If such examination indicates the Concession Fees for the Agreement Period have been overpaid, then the amount of overpayment shall be credited to the Concession Fees next due and owing from Rail Company, unless the Term hereof has expired, in which event such amount shall be promptly refunded by the Authority to Rail Company. The Authority’s rights under this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between any provision of this Agreement and generally accepted accounting principles, or generally accepted auditing standards or attestation standards, the provisions of this Agreement shall control even where this Agreement references such principles or standards. In particular, without limitation, Rail Company shall maintain all records required under this Agreement to the full extent required hereunder, even if some or all of such records would not be required under such general principals or standards.

7.06     Reporting Requirements of Subconcessionaires.

 

1.          Subconcessionaires of Rail Company shall provide Rail Company on the fifteenth (15^th ) day of the month following the end of each calendar month during the term of a Subconcession Agreement, at the place designated by Rail Company, a statement in the form substantially similar to the “Gross Receipts Report” attached hereto as Exhibit “H”, which form the Executive Director may amend from time to time in his discretion on not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Rail Company, which Subconcessionaires’ Gross Receipts Report sets forth the Subconcessionaires’ Gross Receipts, defined in the subconcession agreement during the preceding monthly term and identifies all receipts derived by each Subconcessionaire during such monthly term which have been excluded from the computation of Subconcessionaires’ Gross Receipts, and is signed by an officer (if Subconcessionaire is a corporation), partner (if Subconcessionaire is a partnership), managing member (if Subconcessionaire is a limited liability company), or owner (if Subconcessionaire is a sole proprietorship), or other appropriate official of Subconcessionaire. The Authority hereby acknowledges and agrees that under no circumstances shall Rail Company have any responsibility or liability to the Authority or any other party for the information provided by the Subconcessionaires to Rail Company, it being recognized that the Subconcessionaire’s information is being provided by third parties over whom Rail Company has no control.

 

No deduction shall be made from a Subconcessionaire’s Gross Receipts by reason of any credit loss sustained, bad checks, or financing discount that may be applicable by reason of the acceptance, or use of credit cards, or by reason of any other credit arrangements. If any charge customarily made by Subconcessionaires for goods and services authorized to be sold or rendered pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Subconcession Agreement or other operations or businesses is not assessed, charged or collected, for any reason other than pursuant to a written bona fide marketing plan approved in advance by Concessionaire and the Executive Director (e.g., reasonable Airport or airline employee discounts), then the amount of Subconcessionaire’s customary charge therefore shall nevertheless be included in determining the Subconcessionaire’s Gross Receipts.

 

Subconcessionaire’s Gross Receipts shall include all mail or telephone orders filled at or from the Premises, all deposits not refunded to purchasers, and all orders taken in and from the Premises, whether or not such orders are filled elsewhere.

 

2.          Within ninety (90) days after the close of each Agreement Period of the Term hereof, Subconcessionaires shall be required, at their own cost and expense, to provide to Rail Company schedules of Subconcessionaire’s Gross Receipts, hereinafter defined, and the Concession Fee (“Schedules”) for such Agreement Period prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis for its operations at the Concession Premises, together with a report on examination of such Schedules made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by an independent certified public accountant, licensed in the state of Florida, ,or a certified public accountant who holds a valid temporary permit to practice in the state of Florida at the time the certification is issued and who is not an employee of Subconcessionaires, or an out of state licensed Certified Public Accountant who at the time the certification is issued, the NASBA National Qualification Appraisal Service has verified to be in compliance with the CPA licensure requirements of the AICPA/NASBA Uniform Accountancy Act and who is not an employee of Subconcessionaires. The audited Schedules must be accompanied by an independent auditor’s report expressing an unqualified opinion on examination of those Subconcessionaires’ Schedules and such calculation by the independent certified public accountant in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. In particular, without limitation, Subconcessionaires shall maintain all records required under the Subconcession Agreement to the full extent required thereunder, even if some or all of such records would not be required under such general principles or standards. Rail Company will provide the Authority with copies of the annual certification as described in this Section 7.06. upon receipt of such certification by Rail Company from each Subconcessionaire, and if applicable, the Master Retail Concession Manager.

 

3.          Subconcessionaires shall, at all times during the Term hereof, maintain at their principal business office in the United States and make available at the Premises or at an office in Orange County, Florida, complete and accurate books and records of all receipts and disbursements from its operations on the Concession Premises, in a form consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and cause to be installed for use at all times in the Concession Premises such cash registers, invoicing machines, sales slips and other accounting equipment, devices and forms as are reasonably necessary to record properly, accurately and completely all of Subconcessionaire’s sales from the Concession Premises. Subconcessionaire’s books and records shall be maintained in sufficient detail to allow Rail Company, the Authority or their representatives to audit, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Subconcessionaire’s Gross Receipts. Each Subconcessionaire shall account for all receipts of any nature related to transactions in connection with its Subconcession Agreement in a manner which segregates in detail those transactions from other transactions of Subconcessionaire and which supports the amounts reported to Rail Company in the Subconcessionaire’s monthly “Subconcessionaire’s Gross Receipts Report” schedules prepared in accordance with Section 7.06. At a minimum, Subconcessionaire’s accounting for such receipts shall include the following:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Such records may be in the form of (a) electronic media compatible with the computers available to the Authority, or (b) a computer run hard copy. The Executive Director may require other records necessary in his determination to enable the accurate audit of Subconcessionaires’ hereunder. In the event that Concession Fees payable to the Authority are derived from Subconcessionaires’ Gross Receipts, the Authority shall further have the right, upon reasonable written notice to Rail Company and the applicable Subconcessionaire from the Executive Director and at the sole cost of Authority, except as specified below to examine or designate a representative to examine the books and records of any or all Subconcessionaires which relate to operations on the Premises for any or all of the four (4) Agreement Periods immediately preceding such examination. Upon thirty (30) days written notice from the Executive Director, all such books and records, including the general ledger and bank statements and all federal, state and local sales tax returns relating thereto, shall, be made available at the offices of the Authority for inspection by the Authority through its duly authorized representatives at any time for up to three (3) years after the end of the Subconcession Agreement Period to which such books and records relate (and Subconcessionaires shall not be obligated to retain such books and records subsequent to the termination of such three (3) year period). Provided, however, that any such inspection of the Premises will be conducted during reasonable business hours and in such a manner and at such time as not to interfere unduly with the conduct of Subconcessionaire’s business. If, as a result of such audit or examination, it is established that the Subconcessionaires Gross Receipts and/or the Concession Fee for any Agreement Period have been under-reported to the Authority, Subconcessionaire shall forthwith, upon written demand from the Executive Director, pay any resulting amount due to Rail Company and the Authority, together with interest thereon at the rate set forth in Article 17.F., below, from the date such amount or amounts should have been paid. Further, if such audit or examination establishes that the Subconcessionaire has under-reported Gross Rents and/or Concession Fees for any Agreement Period by two percent (2%) or more, then the entire expense of such audit or examination shall be borne by the Subconcessionaire. In the event that a Subconcessionaire fails to maintain adequate books and records on the Premises or make them available in Orange County, Florida as provided above, Subconcessionaires shall reimburse Rail Company and the Authority for reasonable expenses incurred by representatives of Rail Company and the Authority in traveling to examine such books and records at a separated location whether or not any sums are found to be due and owing to Rail Company; provided further that any such inspection at such separate location shall be conducted during reasonable business hours and in such a manner and at such time as not to interfere unduly with the conduct of Subconcessionaire’s business. Rail Company’s and the Authority’s rights under this Article 5.E. shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Subconcession Agreement.

 

Rail Company shall, if requested by the Executive Director, conduct an audit of the books and records of up to any three (3) Subconcessionaires during any Agreement Period.

 

7.07         Cash Handling Procedures. Rail Company shall at all times observe prudent cash handling procedures, and it shall promptly implement any new procedures, or revise any existing procedures in such capacity as a manager of the Concession in such a manner as the Executive Director may reasonably and uniformly require from time to time, provided that the Executive Director gives written notice thereof to Rail Company. Additionally, Rail Company shall likewise require prudent cash handling procedures from its Subconcessionaires pursuant to the terms of the Subconcession Agreement. Before beginning operations, Rail Company shall require each Subconcessionaire to submit its proposed cash handling procedures to Rail Company and the Executive Director for review and approval.

 

7.08         Additional Sums Due the Authority. If the Authority has paid any sum or has incurred any obligation or expense for which Rail Company agreed in this Agreement or otherwise previously in writing to pay or reimburse the Authority, or if the Authority is required or elects to pay any sum or incur any obligation or expense because of the failure, neglect or refusal of Rail Company to perform or fulfill any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement following applicable notice and cure periods, then the same shall be deemed additional fees due hereunder, and Rail Company shall, upon demand by the Executive Director, reimburse the Authority within fifteen (15) days after receipt of an invoice therefor.

or to such other address as may be designated by Rail Company by written notice to the Authority.

 

16.16         Agent For Service. It is expressly understood and agreed that if Rail Company is not a resident of the State of Florida, or is an association or partnership without a member or partner resident of said state, Rail Company shall appoint an agent for the purpose of service of process in any court action between it and the Authority arising out of or based upon this Agreement. Rail Company shall, upon request, notify the Authority, in writing, of the name and address of said agent. Such service shall be made as provided by the laws of the State of Florida for service upon a non-resident engaging in business in the State.

 

16.17         Governing Law and Legal Forum. This Agreement is to be read and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. Exclusive venue for all dispute resolution, including litigation, concerning or arising out of this Agreement shall be in Orange County, Florida. The parties submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in and for Orange County, Florida.

 

16.18        Force Majeure. Neither the Authority nor Rail Company shall be deemed to be in default hereunder if either party is prevented from performing any of its obligations hereunder, other than the payment of rentals, fees, and charges hereunder, by reason of fire or other casualty, act of nature, earthquake, flood, hurricane, lightning, tornado, epidemic, landslide, war, terrorism, riot, civil commotion, general area-wide unavailability of materials, strike, labor dispute, governmental laws or regulations, delays caused by the other party to this Agreement, or other occurrence beyond Rail Company’s or the Authority’s reasonable control, prevent performance of this Agreement in accordance with its provisions (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), provided that such Force Majeure Event does not arise by reason of the negligence or misconduct of the performing party.

 

16.19        Radon Gas. As required by Florida law, the Authority hereby includes the following notification:

 

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county health department.

 

16.20        Public Entity Crimes Act.

 

Section 287.133(2)(a), Florida Statutes, provides that:

 

An entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The term “affiliate” includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in the management of an affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling interest in another person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair market value under an arm’s length agreement, shall be a prima facie case that one person controls another person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who has been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall be considered an affiliate.

 

16.21        Third-Party Beneficiary. The parties hereto agree that the City is a third party beneficiary to this Agreement with full rights of enforcement herein. Otherwise, except for the City, there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.

 

16.22         City as Authority’s Successor. The Authority presently operates the Airport under an Operation and Use Agreement with the City dated September 27, 1976, as amended (such Operation and Use Agreement, as amended, is herein the “Operation and Use Agreement”), which provides that on its termination for any reason, responsibility for operating the Airport would revert to the City. Authority, Rail Company, and by its execution of the joinder attached hereto, the City, agree that on the termination for any reason of the Operation and Use Agreement between the City and Authority: (i) the City shall be deemed to be the lessor hereunder and shall be bound by all provisions of this Lease, and (ii) all references contained herein to “Authority” shall be deemed to refer to the City. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Rail Company hereby acknowledges and agrees to the following: if the Operation and Use Agreement, as amended, between the City and the Authority expires or is terminated prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and the City succeeds to the interests of the Authority under this Lease, then all of the City’s obligations under this Lease shall be payable solely from the revenues generated for the City at the Orlando Executive Airport and the Orlando International Airport, and the City shall have no obligation to use any of its other revenues in the performance of such obligations.

 

16.23         Recording. This Agreement shall not be recorded. Simultaneously herewith, the parties will execute a Memorandum of Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “I”, which will be recorded by the Authority in the Public Records of Orange County, Florida.

 

16.24         Estoppel Certificates. Each of the parties shall, from time to time, upon thirty (30) days’ written request, provide to the requesting party or any other person identified by the requesting party with an estoppel certificate stating whether the other party is in default hereunder, whether this Agreement is in full force and effect, whether this Agreement has been modified, and containing such other certifications as may be reasonably requested.

 

16.25         Reasonableness. Unless this Agreement specifically provides for the granting of consent or approval at a party’s sole discretion, then consents and approvals which may be given or requested by a party under this Agreement shall not (whether or not so indicated elsewhere in this Agreement) be unreasonably withheld or conditioned by such party and shall be given or denied within the time period provided, and if no such time period has been provided, within a reasonable time. Upon disapproval of any request for a consent or approval, the disapproving party shall, together with notice of such disapproval, submit to the requesting party a written statement setting forth with specificity its reasons for such disapproval.

 

16.26         Representations.

 

Rail Company warrants, represents and covenants that:

 

a.               Rail Company is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and is duly qualified to conduct business in the State of Florida.

e.               Rail Company currently is not the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization proceedings and is not in material default of, or otherwise subject to, any agreement or any law, administrative regulation, judgment, decree, note, resolution, charter or ordinance which would currently restrain or enjoin it from entering into, or complying with, this Agreement, in any material respect.

 

f.                There is no material action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in equity, before any court or public body, pending or, to the best of Rail Company’s knowledge, threatened, which seeks to restrain or enjoin Rail Company from entering into or complying with this Agreement.

 

g.              The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement will not conflict with, be inconsistent with, or result in any breach or default of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or provisions of any indenture, bank loan, credit agreement, or other agreement or contract of any kind or nature to which Rail Company is a party or by which Rail Company may be bound.

 

16.27         The Authority warrants, represents and covenants that:

c.               No consent is required to be obtained by the Authority from, and no notice or filing is required to be given by the Authority to or made by the Authority with, any person (including any governmental authority) in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Authority of this Agreement which has not been obtained.

 

d.               Pursuant to the Operation and Use Agreement, the Authority has been in control and control and maintained the Premises in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable laws and the Authority is not in breach of any applicable law that would have a material adverse effect on the Premises or this Agreement.

 

e.               There is no action, suit or proceeding, at law or in equity, or before or by any governmental authority, pending nor, to the best of the Authority’s knowledge, threatened against the Authority which would (i) have a material adverse effect on the Premises or (ii) materially affect the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

 

f.                There are no pending or threatened claims known to the Authority arising out of hazardous substances or otherwise arising under Environmental Laws that could have a material adverse effect on the Premises or this Agreement.

 

g.               To the best of the Authority’s knowledge, there have not been any environmental enforcement actions in the past and none are threatened or pending that could have a material adverse effect on the Premises or this Agreement.

 

h.               The Authority currently is not the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization proceedings and is not in material default of, or otherwise subject to, any agreement or any law, administrative regulation, judgment, decree, note, resolution, charter or ordinance which would currently restrain or enjoin it from entering into, or complying with, this Agreement, in any material respect.

 

i.               The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement will not conflict with, be inconsistent with, or result in any breach or default of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or provisions of any indenture, bank loan, credit agreement, or other agreement or contract of any kind or nature to which the Authority is a party or by which the Authority may be bound.

 

ARTICLE 17:

SPECIAL PROVISION REGARDING PLATFORM

 

The parties anticipate Rail Company requiring use of the Premises at the Rail Station Building beyond the 50 year Term of this Agreement in order for use of the Premises to continue during the remaining term of the Rail Line Easement. If this Agreement is terminated as a result of a default by the Authority or if Rail Company and the Authority have not entered into an amendment to this Agreement or a new lease regarding the Premises prior to the expiration of the 46^th Agreement Period, then no later than the expiration of the 47^th Agreement Period, Rail Company and the Authority shall enter into good faith negotiations for a new agreement for the Premises. Such good faith negotiations shall continue for a period of 12 months which shall include, if necessary to achieve an agreement, 5 meetings to attempt to negotiate the terms of a new agreement. In the event the parties are unable to agree upon terms acceptable to both parties for a new agreement for the Premises, the Authority shall make the Platform spaces for boarding and exiting passengers available for use by the Rail Company upon financial terms equal to those being charged by the Authority to airlines for hold room and gate space in effect at the expiration of this Agreement. Said rates may be modified by the Authority annually consistent with any modifications to the rates then being charged to airlines. In the event the method for charging airlines for the use of hold room and gate space has been modified by the time the Authority implements the rates to be charged to Rail Company for the use of Platform space, then the Authority may utilize a formula reasonably consistent with the formula utilized for charges to airlines to establish the rates to be paid by Rail Company. The legal terms utilized for the use by Rail Company of Platform space shall also be consistent with the terms applicable to airlines at the expiration of this Agreement except to the extent the application of such terms are prohibited by federal or state law or regulations, in which event the legal terms applicable to the use of Platform space by Rail Company shall be consistent with the terms utilized by the Authority applicable to concessionaires. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary otherwise contained in this Lease, the term of this Lease shall not be for a term greater than fifty (50) years.
