Port Manatee and Kinder Morgan Lease Amendment One
N/A
Delay in approving the lease of 1.81 acres
Move to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the Port Manatee and Kinder Morgan Lease Amendment One between the Manatee County Port Authority and Kinder Morgan Port Manatee Terminal LLC.
The terms and conditions of this Port Manatee and Kinder Morgan Lease Amendment One (hereinafter “Amendment One”), made and entered into by and between the MANATEE COUNTY PORT AUTHORITY, a political entity of the State of Florida, with its principal place of business located at Port Manatee, 300 Tampa Bay Way, Suite 1, Palmetto, Florida 34221, (hereinafter referred to as the “Authority”), and KINDER MORGAN PORT MANATEE TERMINAL LLC, a Delaware limited liability company authorized to do business in the State of Florida, with a place of business located at 500 National Street, Palmetto, FL 34221 (hereinafter referred to as “Kinder Morgan” or “Lessee”), (collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Parties”) for and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, amend the Port Manatee and Kinder Morgan Lease entered into by the Parties dated September 19, 2019 (hereinafter “Lease”), and state as follows:
CONSIDERATION. Each of the Parties represented that as a result of economic conditions, mutual covenants, the long-term benefit to both Parties, and other good and valuable consideration, this Amendment One shall govern the Parties’ responsibilities regarding paragraphs of the Lease entitled Demised Premises (paragraph 2), Term (paragraph 4), Rent (paragraph 5), Improvement Removal and Land Restoration (paragraph 7), Minimum Annual Guaranteed Tonnage (paragraph 12), Maintenance (paragraph 15) and Events of Default (paragraph 33).

01209140-2 Page 1 of 13
and effect and binding upon the Authority and Kinder Morgan. In entering into Amendment One, the Parties acknowledge that in no way has the Authority waived any of its rights or claims it may have against Kinder Morgan.
2. DEMISED PREMISES. Effective January 1, 2020, the Authority does hereby demise, let, and rent unto the Lessee, and the Lessee shall hire and take as tenant approximately 1.81 acres of real property located in Manatee County, Florida identified as a portion of Port Manatee, the legal description of which is attached and made a part of this Lease as Exhibit D (the “Demised Premises”), to have and to hold the same for the terms set forth in this Lease.
Effective August 6, 2020, the Authority does hereby demise, let, and rent unto the Lessee, and the Lessee shall hire and take as tenant approximately 5.01 acres of real property located in Manatee County, Florida identified as a portion of Port Manatee, the legal description of which is attached and made a part of this Lease as Exhibit A (the “Land”), to have and to hold the same for the terms set forth below. The Land, all rights of access and other appurtenant rights related thereto, and all improvements now or hereafter located on the Land (including, without limitation, Warehouse 1 at Berths 6 and 7, Warehouse 2, Truck & Rail Car Dump Shed, Warehouse 3 at Berth 7, Truck Scales and the conveyors (hereinafter defined) described in the attached Exhibit B which is incorporated into and made a part of this Lease), are collectively referred to herein as the “Additional Lands.” Effective August 6, 2020, the Additional Lands are included in the definition of the Demised Premises. As used herein, “conveyors” means those conveyor systems described on Exhibit B and depicted (and labelled) in the attached Exhibit C, which is incorporated into and made a part of this Lease. The Lessee shall have the continuing right to locate the conveyors on the Land and in the areas adjacent to the Land where the conveyors are already located as shown on Exhibit C, but such right does not to preclude the Authority from requiring Lessee to temporarily move conveyor BC7S in the area adjacent to the
Land, if such movement is needed. The Lessee shall have the right to maintain, restore, replace and operate the conveyors during the term of this Lease, and Lessee shall maintain the conveyors in accordance with the paragraph entitled “Maintenance” of this Lease. The Authority recognizes that the Lessee uses improvements such as conveyors and warehouses on the Land in offloading its cargo and the Authority will make reasonable efforts to provide the Berths 5, 6, and 7 for such offloading and make reasonable efforts, as described below, to maintain a 40 foot draft at Berths 5, 6, and 7.
In accordance with the Master Plan, the Authority agrees, covenants and warrants that Lessee has the right to peacefully occupy, have, use, hold and quietly enjoy the Demised Premises subject to the provisions of this Lease. The Lessee agrees it will not use the Demised Premises in any way that physically interferes with, interrupts, or impacts, in a materially adverse way, the rightful use or operation of other Port Manatee facilities by any other tenant, user, or customer at Port Manatee. The Demised Premises are leased and accepted by Lessee in its current “As Is-Where Is” condition with Authority making no warranties as to fitness, and Lessee acknowledges that it has had adequate opportunity to inspect and test the Demised Premises prior to entering into the Lease. Further, while the Authority endeavors to maintain berth and channel depths at the Congressionally authorized 40+1 feet, the vagaries of natural events such as storms and sediment redistribution preclude any guarantees for either the main channel or berths. Maintenance dredging is performed as frequently as needed but subject to Army Corps of Engineers funding, permitting, contractor procurement and scheduling of both federally maintained channels and port berths. The berth maintenance is performed at Authority’s expense in conjunction with Corps events by a common contractor and under a single federal permit except in the case of emergency out of cycle needs where the port performs the maintenance.
TERM. The duration or term of this Lease for the Demised Premises (the 1.81 acres of real property and excluding the Additional Lands), commences on January 1, 2020 and continues to August 5, 2020. The duration or term of this Lease for the Demised
Premises (the 1.81 acres of real property and the Additional Lands) commences on August 6, 2020 and terminates three (3) years thereafter on August 5, 2023 (“term”), unless otherwise extended as provided in this Lease. The term of this Lease may be extended first for one (1) three-year extension period and subsequently for up to three (3) five-year extension periods thereafter. To extend the term, the Lessee must notify the Authority in writing no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then existing term of this Lease that it desires to extend the term. As used herein, a “year of this Lease” or “Lease year” means each consecutive twelve (12) month period commencing on August 6, 2020 and on each anniversary thereof.
RENT. The Lessee shall pay to the Authority rent for the Demised Premises, payable monthly on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the term.
Effective January 1, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Lessee shall pay to the Authority rent for the Demised Premises (the 1.81 acers and excluding the Additional Lands), payable monthly on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, at a rate of $2,550 per month from January 1, 2020 through August 5, 2023. Should the Lessee exercise its option to extend the term of this Lease as set forth in the paragraph of this Lease entitled “Term”, the annual rent for each year during the extended term(s) will be:
August 6, 2023 through August 5, 2026: $2,550 per month
August 6, 2026 through August 5, 2031: $4,250 per month
August 6, 2031 through August 5, 2041: The annual rent for each year during the extended term(s) will be determined by multiplying the annual rent by the percentage of change in the most recently published U.S. Department of Labor All Urban Consumer Price Index (“CPI-U”), all items, not to exceed three percent (3%) in any applicable extended five year lease period. The percentage change will be computed by comparing index figures published for the month closest to the Lease year anniversary date with the same month of the preceding Lease year. The index to be used will be the most recently published U. S. Department of Labor, All Urban Consumer Price Index. Annual rent on an extended term must never be less than
$4,250 per month and will only increase in accordance with the above formula for the extended term, and not annually during any such extended term.
Effective August 6, 2020, the Lessee shall pay to the Authority rent for the Additional Lands, payable monthly on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, at a rate of $12,525 per month for the first three (3) years of the term. Should the Lessee exercise its option to extend the term of this Lease as set forth in the paragraph of this Lease entitled “Term”, the annual rent for each year during the extended term(s) will be determined by multiplying the annual rent by the percentage of change in the most recently published U.S. Department of Labor All Urban Consumer Price Index (“CPI-U”), all items, not to exceed three percent (3%) in any applicable extended lease period (either 3 or 5 years in accordance with the extended term). The percentage change will be computed by comparing index figures published for the month closest to the Lease year anniversary date with the same month of the preceding Lease year. For example, if the Lease commencement date is August 6, 2020, the adjustment for the annual rental due on August 6, 2023 will be calculated by using the index published for the most recent month available prior to August 6, 2020 and comparing it to the index published for the same month of the year 2023, subject to the 3% percent cap. The index to be used will be the most recently published U. S. Department of Labor, All Urban Consumer Price Index. Annual rent on an extended term must never be less than $12,525 per month and will only increase in accordance with the above formula for the extended term, and not annually during any such extended term.
7. IMPROVEMENT REMOVAL AND LAND RESTORATION. The Parties recognize that certain improvements are and may be constructed, erected, or installed upon the Demised Premises that may be of benefit to the Authority upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease, Lessee may, at its sole discretion, remove any improvements located on the Demised Premises. Any improvement not removed by the Lessee shall become the property of and owned by the Authority. The Demised Premises with any improvements (including, but not limited to, Warehouse 1, Warehouse 2, Warehouse 3, and all improvements constructed after the January 1, 2020), except for the conveyors and the Truck & Rail Car Dump shed, that are not removed, must
be left by the Lessee in a clean, good, safe, and tenantable condition. Lessee shall not be required to make any improvements or alterations to the current condition (as of the August 6, 2020) of the Truck & Rail Car Dump shed. Any whole or parts of the conveyors that are not removed as of the expiration or termination of this Lease, must be left by the Lessee in a clean, good and salvageable condition. The Lessee must remove all Lessee’s equipment, furnishings, furniture, machinery and other items of personal property (which does not include the conveyors), at no cost or expense to the Authority prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease.
MINIMUM ANNUAL GUARANTEED TONNAGE. Regardless of the amount of short tons (2,000 pounds) of cargo actually shipped through Port Manatee by Lessee during the Term (as it may be extended), beginning August 6, 2020, Lessee guarantees that it will pay the Authority wharfage at the rate set forth in the paragraph entitled Wharfage above for at least the following amount of short tons (the “minimum annual guarantee” or “MAG”):
Year 1 – 100,000 short tons
Year 2 – 150,000 short tons
Year 3 – 200,000 short tons
Year 4 - 250,000 short tons
Year 5 and each Lease year thereafter – 300,000 short tons
At the end of each Lease Year, an accounting will be made as to the actual tonnage for which the Lessee paid wharfage to the Authority versus the MAG for that particular year. Within thirty (30) days after completing such accounting, the Lessee shall pay the Authority wharfage for any shortfall between the actual tonnage paid and the applicable MAG, at a blended wharfage rate of $0.59 per short ton. With each renewal option, the blended wharfage rate for MAG shortfalls will be increased at the same rate as the annual tariff general rate increase.
If during any term of this Lease, Lessee is prevented from, or materially hindered in, using the Demised Premises as a result of any act or omission by the Authority (including
authorized draft restrictions), wharfage charges with respect to guaranteed minimum tonnage will be abated on a pro rata basis and will not be required to be recommenced until such use is restored, as reasonably determined by the Authority. Abatement on a pro rata basis means that the minimum number of net tons of materials guaranteed by Lessee annually will be reduced to the extent to which (measured in tons of materials) Lessee is respectively prevented from, or materially hindered in, using the Demised Premises.
15. MAINTENANCE. The Lessee shall cause the Demised Premises including any improvements thereto to be duly maintained and kept up throughout the duration or term of this Lease to the extent necessary to maintain, subject to reasonable wear and tear, the Demised Premises in a safe and tenantable condition, including making any repairs necessary due to damage done by act of God, natural disaster or default, negligence or omission of the Lessee its agents, employees, invitees, patrons, servants or any other persons whomsoever under the control of the Lessee. The Authority agrees that the Lessee shall not be required to make any improvements or alterations to the current condition (as of the August 6, 2020) of the Truck & Rail Car Dump shed. In the event of complete or partial destruction by an act of God or fire, the determination of whether or not to reconstruct the destroyed improvement is at the discretion of the Lessee, provided that following such destruction any portion that is not reconstructed is either demolished or otherwise repaired to a safe and tenantable condition. The Authority may, subject to the Lessee’s safety and security measures, in its sole discretion, conduct annual inspections for the purpose of identifying whether the Demised Premises and improvements are being kept in a “safe and tenantable condition,” but the Authority has no maintenance responsibilities for the Demised Premises.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Any of the following events constitute an “Event of Default” of this Lease by Lessee:
If Lessee abandons or vacates the Demised Premises for a period in excess of sixty
(60) consecutive days (except due to casualty or condemnation); or
If the Rent, fees, charges, or other payments which Lessee agrees to pay or is

If Lessee transfers substantial control of Lessee’s assets or Lessee’s business operations or activity to any other entity without prior written consent of the Authority; or

Lewis, Longman & Walker, P.A. (LLW) has been the Port’s legal counsel for general representation, lobbying and environmental matters since 2009. Jennifer Cowan has been the designated lawyer representing the Authority on general matters for several years. Ms. Cowan will be leaving LLW January 31, 2020, and will join the law firm of Bryant, Miller & Olive on February 3, 2020. Due to Ms. Cowan’s extensive knowledge of Port Manatee as well as the importance of continuity of on-going matters, Port staff recommends that its files and account balances be transferred to Ms. Cowan at Bryant, Miller & Olive. If approved, an engagement letter for Bryant, Miller & Olive will be presented at a subsequent Authority meeting. LLW representation for lobbying and environmental matters will continue.

Re: Legal Representation of Manatee County Port Authority LLW Matter No. 0266-000
Dear M r. Buqueras:
As you are aware, this firm has the privilege of representing the Manatee County Port Authority (the "Port") in the above-referenced matter. As you may know, I am a founder and Shareholder of Lewis, Longman & Walker, P.A. This correspondence is to inform you that as of January 31, 2020, Ms. Cowan will be leaving Lewis, Longman & Walker, P.A. ("LLW") to join the law firm of Bryant, Miller & Olive .
LLW values and appreciates the opportunity to represent the Port, but since M s. Cowan was the designated lawyer representing the Port in general matters, we are required by the rules regulating the Florida Bar to inform the Port that it may have LLW continue to represent it; the Port may choose to have Ms. Cowan continue to represent the Port at her new firm; or the Port can choose to retain new counsel. Whatever decision the Port chooses, please know that all parties involved desire to make this transition as easy as possible for the Port.
If the Port wishes to have Ms. Cowan and her new firm represent you, or the Port wishes to retain new counsel, arrangements to bring the Port's outstanding account with LLW current will have to be made. Until the date of Ms. Cowan's departure, all services rendered to the Port by her will be owed to this Firm. Any retained or unspent fees or costs currently held by LLW, at the Port's request, will be promptly returned or transferred to the lawyer the Port designates. Please advise us as quickly as possible of the Port's decision, so that continuity in the Port's representation is assured. You may do so by indicating the Port's choice below and returning a signed dated copy to the undersigned via email, facsimile or in the enclosed stamped envelope. Please retain a copy of this designation letter for the Port's records.
