The airport presently has an airport advertising concession contracts with Clear Channel Advertising. A performance clause in the contract states that The Airport reserves the right to reclaim certain Specialty Floor Displays (located in the ticketing area) only if the location remains unsold by Concessionaire at any point after the 1 year anniversary of the commencement date of the extension term. The Airport agrees to provide Concessionaire with 90 day written notice of their interest to utilize the terminal space for alternative opportunities, if they so choose. Should any of these two locations become vacant and Concessionaire is unable to fill that space with a new advertiser within 90 days, Airport has the right to pursue an occupant for a one year advertising lease or other alternative opportunities followed by a month to month tenancy. Concessionaire may resume its efforts to lease the Specialty Floor Display space concurrently with Airport at the end of the one year lease term. If Airport secures a lessee for the space described, Airport would receive 100% of the lease proceeds from the Specialty Floor Display space which was
secured by Airport.
