entity may agree upon for such right.
(e) The right of ticketing passengers, of loading and unloading persons, property and

information concerning the content of any advertising that will be placed in the Preferential
Leased Premises occupied by Airline in advance of placement. Unless Airline objects to the
content of the advertising by written notice delivered to the Director of Port Control within two
business days of Airline’s receipt of the information, Airline shall be deemed to have no

(g) The right to install, maintain and operate such radio, communication,
meteorological, security screening and aerial navigation equipment and facilities as may be
necessary, in the opinion of Airline, for its operation; provided, however, that the location of

and proper use of the Airport System.
- 16 -
(h) Airline shall not install or operate pay telephones in the Terminal Complex but
may have pay telephones installed by companies having agreements with City for such
installations, if such shall be for the use of Airline’s employees and located in areas not available
to the general public; provided, however, that if such company or companies choose not to install

vending machines. Vending machines shall not be within the view of the general public and all
machine locations are subject to the prior approval of City. City shall have the mutual right to
install drink vending machines and food vending machines in its non-publicly accessible areas
for the sole use of City’s employees, contractors and agents.
Section 2.02 Preferential Leased Premises
(a) City grants to Airline the nonexclusive use in accordance with the Agreement of
the areas in and around the Terminal Complex that are described in Exhibit __ (the Preferential
Leased Premises). Airline shall have priority in using the Preferential Leased Premises. City
seeks to maintain open access to the Airport and to achieve balanced utilization of the Airport
and, accordingly, City may require the shared use of the Preferential Leased Premises as
provided in this Section.
- 17 -
(b) If an Air Carrier seeks to expand its services at the Airport or an Air Carrier seeks
entry at the Airport and, in either case, the City cannot meet the space needs of that Air Carrier
from then unleased space in the Terminal Complex, the City shall direct that Air Carrier to
request one or more Scheduled Airlines to voluntarily permit that Air Carrier to use portions of
the Scheduled Airlines’ preferentially leased space. If the Air Carrier makes that request of
Airline, Airline shall make a reasonable effort to accommodate the request in a timely manner
from any of its Preferential Leased Premises.
(c) In the event that:
(1) an Air Carrier has requested space from the Scheduled Airlines because
the City was not able to meet its space needs from unleased space, and
(2) that Air Carrier was unable to obtain the space or facilities needed for its
operations from any of the Scheduled Airlines, and
(3) that Air Carrier has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City that it
contacted all Scheduled Airlines and exhausted all reasonable efforts to find reasonable
accommodations for its proposed operations,
then, upon receipt by the City from that Air Carrier of a written request for space or facilities of a
type leased by the City to the Scheduled Airlines on a preferential basis, the City may grant that
Air Carrier the right of temporary or shared use of a designated portion of Airline’s Preferential
Leased Premises, including the use of passenger loading bridges and other equipment reasonably
necessary for the effective use of the space, whether owned by the City or by Airline, but
excluding Airline’s members-only clubs within its Preferential Leased Premises. The City shall
follow the provisions in paragraph (d) of this Section in connection with any grant to an Air
Carrier of the right to use any portion of Airline’s Preferential Leased Premises.
(d) Upon determining that an Air Carrier needs space or facilities leased to Scheduled
Airlines on a preferential basis, the City shall serve written notice to all Scheduled Airlines of
- 18 -
that determination and of the City’s intention to make a decision in not less than fifteen (15)
calendar days as to how the Air Carrier will be accommodated. In determining how to
accommodate the Air Carrier, the City will assess the degree of utilization of space in the
Terminal Complex by all Scheduled Airlines. The City will consider all factors it deems relevant.
Those factors may include: the average number of flight arrivals and departures per aircraft
parking position per day; flight scheduling considerations; potential labor conflicts; the number,
availability and type of aircraft parking position locations (e.g. wide body or narrow body); the
preferences of the Scheduled Airlines as to which of their specific premises are designated for
temporary or shared use by the Air Carrier requesting space; and other operational considerations.
The Air Carrier requesting space shall enter into written agreements with the City and
with each Scheduled Airline providing space. Those agreements shall provide for the
indemnification of the City and each Scheduled Airline providing space on terms substantially
similar to the indemnification provided to the City by Airline under the Agreement. Those
agreements further shall provide for the provision of insurance, naming both the City and the
Scheduled Airlines providing space as additional insureds, providing coverage substantially
similar to that provided to the City by Airline under the Agreement.
The Air Carrier shall agree to pay each Scheduled Airline providing the shared space an
amount equal to (x) the pro rata share of the sum of the rentals and other amounts payable by
each Scheduled Airline under its agreement with the City with respect to the use of space in the
Terminal Complex for the portion of that space to be used by the Air Carrier, plus (y) an amount
sufficient to recover each Scheduled Airline’s direct costs, operation and maintenance expenses
and any capital and equipment costs reasonably allocable to the property owned by the
Scheduled Airline that is to be shared with the Air Carrier. Airline agrees that, in the event that
- 19 -
Airline is one of the Scheduled Airlines providing the shared premises to the Air Carrier, it will
provide the City and the Air Carrier an estimate of Airline’s direct costs, operation and
maintenance expenses and any capital and equipment costs reasonably allocable to the space to
be shared or temporarily used. The City may, in its sole discretion, review Airline’s allocation
methodology and/or audit its costs. In the event the Air Carrier fails to make prompt and full
payment to any Scheduled Airline providing shared space, the Scheduled Airline shall not have
any obligation to continue to provide the shared space.
The written agreement between the Air Carrier obtaining shared space and the Scheduled
Airline providing the shared space shall be submitted to the City for review and written approval
prior to the effective date of that agreement.
In the event that Airline is required to share with an Air Carrier a portion of its
Preferential Leased Premises, Airline shall have priority in all aspects of the use of the shared
portion of the Preferential Leased Premises (including overnight parking of its aircraft) over all
other Air Carriers using those Preferential Leased Premises. Airline shall provide not less than
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Airport and the Air Carrier sharing the Airline’s
Preferential Leased Premises of any change in Airline’s scheduling or ordinary course of usage
of those premises that may affect the availability of the premises for use by the Air Carrier
sharing them.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the City may grant an
Air Carrier the right to temporarily use a designated portion of Airline’s Preferential Leased
Premises (excluding Airline’s member-only clubs) in nonrecurring emergency or safety related
circumstances so long as such use will not unreasonably adversely affect Airline’s air
transportation operations at the Airport. Airline shall not be responsible for any damage,
- 20 -
destruction or loss of property caused by such Air Carrier’s temporary use of the Airline’s
Preferential Leased Premises. The City agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to cause
any Air Carrier that damages or destroys any portion of Airline’s Preferential Leased Premises to
pay all costs of repairing and restoring any property so damaged or destroyed. Airline shall
cooperate with the City to enable the City to make any necessary repairs to the damaged
Preferential Leased Premises, including making those Premises available to the City, making
personnel available to the City and providing drawings or other relevant documents to the City.
Airline shall not be charged rent for any such damaged or destroyed Preferential Leased
Premises, during the period of time those Premises are not available for use by Airline, and
Airline shall not be responsible for any such damage or destruction.
2.03 Automobile Parking Space
City shall make available to Airline, its employees and its passengers, including persons
calling for and delivering passengers, in common with other tenants at the Airport and patrons,
vehicular parking space. City reserves the right to impose parking fees for passengers (including
persons calling for and delivering passengers), patrons, visitors and employees. However,
charges to Airline employees shall be at a rate based upon the actual maintenance and operations
costs of such parking space.
2.04 Access
(a) Subject to the provisions hereof, such restrictions as Airline may impose with
respect to the Leased Premises within its exclusive use and the rules and regulations prescribed
by City with respect to the Airport System, City hereby grants to Airline, its agents, suppliers,
employees, contractors, passengers, guests and invitees the right and privilege of ingress and
egress to the Leased Premises and to public areas and public facilities of the Terminal Complex.
- 21 -
(b) The ingress and egress provided for above shall not be used, enjoyed or extended
to any person engaging in any activity or performing any act or furnishing any service for or on
behalf of Airline that Airline is not authorized to engage in or perform under the provisions
hereof unless expressly authorized by City.
(c) All means of access provided by City pursuant to Section 2.04 shall, without
exception, be in common with such other persons as City may authorize or permit, and all of
such rights of access shall be subject to and in accordance with all applicable laws and
ordinances whether federal, state, or local.
(d) City shall have the right at any time or times to close, relocate, reconstruct,
change, alter or modify any such means of access provided for Airline’s use pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise, either temporarily or permanently; provided that reasonable notice to
Airline and a reasonably convenient and adequate means of access for ingress and egress shall
exist or be provided in lieu thereof. City shall suffer no liability by reason thereof and such
action shall in no way alter or affect any of Airline’s obligations under this Agreement, including
its obligations under Sections 7.02 and 7.03 hereof.
2.05 Use by Airline
In connection with the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, Airline:
(a) Shall not cause or create nor permit to be caused or created within the Airport,
any noxious odors or smokes, or noxious gases or vapors. Neither the creation of exhaust fumes
by the operation of aircraft engines, when operated in a manner approved by the Federal
Aviation Administration, nor the existence of gasoline or other fumes resulting from the proper
fueling of aircraft or motor vehicles, nor the existence of paint fumes or odors, provided the same
occur during lawful use of the Leased Premises and lawful operation by Airline therefrom in
- 22 -
accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement, shall constitute a violation of this
subsection.
(b) Shall not do or permit to be done anything at or about the Airport which may
interfere with the effectiveness or accessibility of the drainage and sewage system, fire protection

part thereof.
(d) Shall not dispose of or permit any other person to dispose of any waste material
(whether liquid or solid) taken from or products used with respect to its aircraft into the sanitary

properly treated by equipment installed with the approval of City for that purpose.
(e) Shall not keep or store, during any twenty-four hour period, flammable liquids
within the enclosed portion of the Leased Premises in excess of Airline’s working requirements
during said twenty-four hour period, except in rooms or underground tanks especially

Fire Underwriters, and approved by City from the standpoint of safety. Any such liquids having
a flash point of less than 100° F. shall be kept and stored in safety containers of a type approved
by the Underwriters Laboratories.
- 23 -
2.06 Rights May be Extended to Affiliate
Airline may submit a written request to the City that the rights and obligations of Airline
under the Agreement be given to one or more entities meeting the standards for an Affiliate of
Airline (and also that Airline may provide services that are permitted under the Agreement to be

Airline, (2) be considered as one party with Airline for purposes of calculating any joint use or

the Agreement. If Airline notifies the City that such Air Carrier shall no longer be considered an
Affiliate of Airline under the Agreement, its guarantee shall not apply to any fees or charges

Airline when billed, and the quantity consumed shall be measured by a meter or meters installed
by City for such purpose; provided, however, that if for any reason any such meter or meters
shall become inoperative for any period of time, the consumption during the period such meter or
meters are out of service will be considered to be the same as the consumption for a like period
either immediately before or after the period during which said meter or meters are inoperative,
as elected by City.
7.05 Landing Fees
From and after the commencement of the term of this Agreement, rentals and fees for the
use of the premises, facilities, rights, licenses and privileges granted to Airline under Article II of
this Agreement, except those for which rentals, charges and fees are specifically provided in
Sections 7.01 to 7.04 of this Article VII and except as provided elsewhere herein, shall be

8.02 Accounting Procedure
(a) City shall maintain accounting records which reflect annual revenues and
maintenance and operating expenses, including administrative expenses of the Airport System
and vouchered administrative expenses of City charged to the Airport System, for each of the
Airport System Cost Centers. City shall further maintain records evidencing the utilization of
capital funds obtained from the proceeds of Revenue Bonds in each Airport System Cost Center,
including the allocation to each Airport System Cost Center of its proportionate share
(determined with reference to the allocation of construction costs funded through Revenue Bonds)
of the expenses of Revenue Bond issuance, capitalized interest and funding of the Special Funds.
General Obligation Debt and Temporary Revenue Bonds shall be allocated by City to the Cost
Centers in such manner as City reasonably deems justified.
(b) Governmental grant-in-aid payments received by City with respect to any project
or improvement at the Airport System shall be deposited in the appropriate Special Fund or
Funds and credited to such project or improvement.
8.03 Annual Reports
(a) At least 120 days prior to the end of the then current Additional Term, the
Scheduled Airlines, including Airline, shall submit to City in writing their composite Maximum
Landing Weight forecast for the succeeding Additional Term. At least 90 days prior to the end
of the then current Additional Term, City shall submit to the Scheduled Airlines the following
Annual Reports as to each Airport System Cost Center:
(1) Its proposed Annual Budget for the succeeding Additional Term reflecting
all estimated Airport System maintenance, operating and administrative expenses,
including administrative expenses of City to be vouchered to the Airport System during
the succeeding Additional Term, and all capital improvements at the Airport System for
the succeeding Additional Term which are not separately scheduled pursuant to
subsection (4) hereof and the amounts of all loans or advances which may have been
- 35 -
made by City, in its discretion, to the Airport for the payment of Airport System
Expenses which are to be repaid in the succeeding Additional Term.
(2) A schedule of the principal and interest payments to accrue during the
succeeding Additional Term in connection with the Revenue Bonds, any Subordinated

Term from other than the Scheduled Airlines.
(4) A schedule of the capital improvements at the Airport System proposed
for the succeeding Additional Term, the inclusion of which as capital improvements in
such succeeding Additional Term is subject to the provisions of Section 8.07 hereof.
(5) City’s calculation of adjusted Rentals and Landing Fees for the succeeding
Additional Term.
(b) Within thirty days after receipt of the Annual Reports, a formal discussion shall
be held between representatives of City and the Scheduled Airlines at which the Scheduled
Airlines may present objections to the Annual Reports, or any item therein. City shall give due
consideration to any suggestions, comments or requests of Airline. Before the beginning of the
succeeding Additional Term, City shall, through resolution of its Board of Control, adopt the
Annual Budget substantially in accordance with the proposed Annual Budget submitted as part
of the Annual Reports, as it may have been revised as a result of City’s discussions with the
Scheduled Airlines and shall promptly furnish Airline with a copy of such approved Annual
Budget together with its resulting calculation of Rentals and Landing Fees which shall be
effective from and after January 1 of such Additional Term. If an Annual Budget shall not have
been so adopted by the Board of Control prior to commencement of such Additional Term, the
Rentals and Landing Fees in effect in the preceding Term shall remain in effect until a new
Annual Budget has been so adopted by the Board of Control and City has calculated Rentals and
- 36 -
Landing Fees in accordance therewith, which revised Rentals and Landing Fees shall be effective
retroactively to January 1 of such Additional Term.
8.04 Adjustment of Rentals
The Rentals shall be adjusted annually in the following manner:
(a) An average rental rate for the Terminal Building, an average rental rate for each
Concourse, and an average rental rate for Airline Constructed Space shall be computed for each
Additional Term as follows:
(i) The total estimated maintenance, operating and administrative expenses of
the Terminal Building, all Concourses, Airline Constructed Space and the Parking and
Roadways Cost Centers for the succeeding Additional Term, all as set forth in the Annual
Reports, shall be divided by the total square footage of Terminal Complex space leased to
Scheduled Airlines, as may be adjusted for any operating and maintenance expenses
directly allocable to specific areas of the Terminal Complex, the resulting quotient being
referred to as the Terminal and Concourse Maintenance Factor.
(ii) The total amount to be accrued in the succeeding Additional Term for
payment of Revenue Bonds, any Subordinated Indebtedness, any General Obligation
Debt, any Credit Support Instruments and any Hedge Agreements allocated to the
Terminal Building Cost Center, plus the cost of capital improvements, all as contained in
the Annual Reports for the Terminal Building, shall be divided by the total square
footage of Terminal Building space leased to the Scheduled Airlines, with the resulting
quotient being referred to as the Terminal Improvement Factor.
(iii) The total amount to be accrued in the succeeding Additional Term for
payment of Revenue Bonds, any Subordinated Indebtedness, any General Obligation
Debt, any Credit Support Instruments and any Hedge Agreements allocated to each
Concourse Cost Center, plus the cost of capital improvements, all as contained in the
Annual Reports for each such Concourse, shall be divided by the total square footage in
each such Concourse of space leased to the Scheduled Airlines, with the resulting
quotients for each Concourse being referred to as the Concourse Improvement Factor for
such Concourse. For purposes of this Section 8.04(a)(iii) of Article VIII, the definition of
“Concourse” shall not include any expansion of any of the A, B, C and/or D Concourses
built at the sole cost and expense of a Scheduled Airline and not financed by Revenue
Bonds, Subordinated Indebtedness or General Obligation Debt.
(iv) In the event that space originally constructed as Airline Constructed Space
is subsequently improved by City expenditures, the total amount to be accrued in the
succeeding Additional Term for payment of any Revenue Bonds, any Subordinated
Indebtedness, any General Obligation Debt, any Credit Support Instruments and any
- 37 -
Hedge Agreements allocated to Airline Constructed Space, plus the cost of capital
improvements, all as contained in the Annual Reports for such Airline Constructed Space,
shall be divided by the total square footage of such Airline Constructed Space leased to
the Scheduled Airlines, with the resulting quotient being referred to as the Airline
Constructed Space Improvement Factor.
(v) The total amount to be accrued in the succeeding Additional Term for
payment of Revenue Bonds, any Subordinated Indebtedness, any General Obligation
Debt, any Credit Support Instruments and any Hedge Agreements allocated to the
Parking and Roadways Cost Center, plus the cost of capital improvements, all as
contained in the Annual Reports for Parking and Roadways, shall be divided by the total
square footage of Terminal Complex space leased to the Scheduled Airlines, with the
resulting quotient being referred to as the Parking Improvement Factor.
(vi) The sum of the Terminal and Concourse Maintenance Factor, the
Terminal Improvement Factor and the Parking Improvement Factor shall be the average
rental rate for the Terminal Building. The sum of the Terminal and Concourse
Maintenance Factor, the respective Concourse Improvement Factors, any Airline
Constructed Space Improvement Factor and the Parking Improvement Factor shall be the
average rental rate for each Concourse and any Airline Constructed Space.
References to capital improvements in this Section 8.04(a) means capital improvements
that have been reviewed with the Scheduled Airlines as required under Section 8.07 of the
Agreement and any capital improvements that are not subject to that review as provided in
Section 8.07.
(b) The average annual rental rates so determined shall be weighted for the various
categories of Leased Premises, as follows: ticket counter, holdroom and passenger-related space,
at 100% of the premium rate; baggage make-up facilities at 50% of the premium rate; baggage
and roadway (tug road) facilities at 30% of the premium rate; operations facilities, offices,
baggage claim and other space as designated by the Director of Port Control of the City, at 75%
of the premium rate.
(c) The total estimated Airport Revenue from all sources in the Terminal Building, all
Concourses, and the Parking and Roadways Cost Centers for the succeeding Additional Term,
excluding rentals paid by the Scheduled Airlines and excluding net revenues from any duty free
- 38 -
retail operations, as contained in the Annual Reports, shall be multiplied by the percentage
determined by dividing the number of the Airline’s enplaning passengers at the Airport by the
total number of enplaning passengers of all Scheduled Airlines at the Airport for the most recent
twelve-month period for which such figures are available as to all Scheduled Airlines. The
product of that multiplication for each Scheduled Airline shall be referred to as that Scheduled
Airline’s Terminal and Concourse Revenue Factor. Each Scheduled Airline shall receive a credit
against its rental payments for the Terminal Building, Concourses and any Airline Constructed
Space equal to its Terminal and Concourse Revenue Factor. For purposes of this Section, each
Scheduled Airline shall include the enplaning passengers of its operations attributable to its
Affiliates in the aggregate number of its enplaning passengers at the Airport.
(d) Any Airport Revenues associated with any duty free retail operations located
within the Terminal Complex, less the operating and maintenance expenses and capital costs
associated with those operations, shall be allocated to the Scheduled Airlines based on each
Scheduled Airline’s share of international enplaned passengers for the most recent twelve-month
period for which such data is available. Each Scheduled Airline shall receive a credit against its
rental payments for the Terminal Building, Concourses and any Airline Constructed Space equal
to it share of those net revenues from duty free retail operations. In the event that no Scheduled
Airline offers international air transportation services at the Airport but other Air Carriers do
offer international air transportation services at the Airport, and the activities of those Air
Carriers generate net duty free revenues, those duty free net revenues will be considered Airport
Revenues for purposes of Section 8.05 of the Agreement.
- 39 -
8.05 Adjustment of Landing Fees
The Landing Fee shall be adjusted annually for each Additional Term in the following
manner:
(a) The Landing Fee for each Additional Term shall be computed in accordance with
the following equation:
Landing Fee = E (R + S D)
W
The symbols in the foregoing equation shall have the following meanings:
E The estimated Airport System Expenses as hereinafter defined and as set forth in
the Annual Reports for such Additional Term.
R The estimated Airport Revenues for such Additional Term as set forth in the
Annual Reports, including Rentals from Scheduled Airlines for the Additional
Term but excluding all Landing Fees estimated to be paid by Scheduled Airlines
in such Additional Term and excluding any net revenues derived from any duty
free retail operations in the Terminal Complex that are allocable to the Scheduled
Airlines. For this purpose, Airport Revenues shall include any Other Available
Funds, as defined in the Indenture, including without limitation, any funds
transferred from the Airport Development Fund to the Coverage Account of the
Revenue Fund, and determined in the Annual Reports for such Additional Term
to be made available for the payment of Revenue Bonds, any Passenger Facility
Charges determined in the Annual Reports for the Additional Term to be available
for the payment of Revenue Bonds and any funds made available as capitalized
interest for such Term.
S The amount, if any, by which Airport Revenues for the then current Term are
estimated to exceed Airport System Expenses for such Term.
D The amount, if any, by which Airport System Expenses for the then current Term,
are estimated to exceed Airport Revenues for such Term.
W The composite Maximum Landing Weight, as determined by City, of all
estimated Revenue Aircraft Arrivals of Scheduled Airlines in such Additional
Term.
(b) For the purpose of the foregoing computation, the term “Airport System Expense”
shall mean the total of the following:
- 40 -
(i) All costs and expenses incurred by City for operation, maintenance, repair,
administration and improvements of the Airport System, including all costs incurred by
City pursuant to the Agreement, as set forth in the Annual Reports, but excluding, except
as otherwise provided herein:
(a) any charges for depreciation or obsolescence or reserves therefor,
amortization of intangibles or other bookkeeping entries of a similar nature,
(b) all charges for payment of Revenue Bonds, any Subordinated
Indebtedness, any General Obligation Debt, any Credit Support Instrument and any
Hedge Agreement,
(c) capital improvements to the Airport System, for the succeeding
Additional Term scheduled pursuant to Section 8.03(a)(4),
(d) losses from the sale, abandonment, reclassification, revaluation or
other disposition of any properties of the Airport System, or
(e) all maintenance, operating and administrative expenses of the
Airport System attributable to the operation of Burke Lakefront Airport, together with all
debt service attributable to General Obligation Bonds issued by City in connection with
improvements at Burke Lakefront Airport (collectively, the “Burke Costs”).
(ii) An amount equal to the greater of:
(a) An amount equal to 116% of the amount to be accrued in such
Additional Term to provide for the payment of principal and interest on all outstanding
Revenue Bonds and General Obligation Debt; or
(b) An amount equal to 125% of the amount to be accrued in such
Additional Term to provide for the payment of principal and interest on outstanding
Revenue Bonds.
(iii) Amounts payable in the succeeding Additional Term with respect to any
outstanding Subordinated Indebtedness, any General Obligation Debt, any Credit Support
Instrument and any Hedge Agreement.
(iv) Such amount for capital improvements to the Airport System scheduled
pursuant to Section 8.03(a) (4) for the succeeding Additional Term and included as
provided in Section 8.07.
(v) Such amounts as may be required to fund or replenish Special Funds.
- 41 -
(vi) All of the Burke Costs, but solely to the extent that the projected deficit of
Airport Revenues attributable to Burke Lakefront Airport over the Burke Costs for such
succeeding Additional Term (the “Burke Deficit”) does not exceed the Burke Deficit as
reflected in the audited financial statements for the Airport System for the twelve-month
period ended December 31, 2005, as adjusted as follows:
The Burke Deficit for the
period from January 1,
2005 through December 31,
2005
X
The CPI in effect for the most
recent month prior to the date of
issuance of the Annual Reports
for such Additional Term
divided by the CPI in effect for
the same month of 2005.
(vii) In the event City and a Majority In Interest agree that operation of Burke
Lakefront Airport as an airport should cease, such amount as will satisfy all obligations
arising from such cessation including amounts for the repayment of all sums required to
be repaid to federal or state agencies, all liabilities incurred in connection with terminated
lease obligations and all other sums arising out of or related to such cessation of
operation.
8.06 Operating and Maintenance Expense Incentive Program
The parties agree that for forecasting purposes only, the City will assume that the Airport
System Expenses contained in the Annual Report for an Additional Term will increase over the
actual Airport System Expenses for the current Term directly proportional to the increase in the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, All Items (1982-1984=100), U.S. City Average,
as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for the
immediately preceding twelve month period for which such data is available over the twelve
month period prior to that, adjusted for the percentage change in the total enplaned passengers at
the Airport for the immediately preceding twelve month period for which such data is available
over the total annual enplaned passengers at the Airport during the twelve month period prior to
that. The forecasted Airport System Expenses (referred to in this Section 8.06 as the “Targeted
Expenses”) for each Additional Term shall be calculated in the following manner:
- 42 -
Targeted
Expenses for
Additional
Term
=
Actual Airport
System
Expenses for
Current Term
x
CPI Index
(last 12 months)
x
Total Enplaned
Passengers at the
Airport
(last 12 months)
CPI Index
(12 months prior to
last 12 months)
Total Enplaned
Passengers at the
Airport
(12 months prior to
last 12 months)
The City agrees to manage Airport System Expenses so that, to the extent reasonably
practicable, actual Airport System Expenses may be less than the Targeted Expenses in each
Additional Term, as calculated above. As an additional incentive to manage Airport System
Expenses, in any Additional Term that the City is able to manage Airport System Expenses such
that the actual Airport System Expenses in that Additional Term are less than the Targeted
Expenses for that Additional Term, the City will be entitled to an additional deposit to the
Airport Account of the Airport Development Fund in the succeeding Additional Term. The
City’s actual Airport System Expenses shall be determined at the end of the City’s Fiscal Year,
as a part of the annual reconciliation process.
If actual Airport System Expenses are determined to be less than the Targeted Expenses
established in the Annual Report, then the amount of additional moneys to be deposited in the
Airport Account of the Airport Development Fund in the succeeding Additional Term shall be
calculated in the following manner:
(a) If actual Airport System Expenses in an Additional Term are less than three
percent (3%) below the Targeted Expenses for that Additional Term, then there
shall be no additional deposit made to the Airport Account of the Airport
Development Fund in the succeeding Additional Term.
(b) If actual Airport System Expenses in an Additional Term are three percent (3%)
or greater, but less than five percent (5%) below the Targeted Expenses for that
Additional Term, then the additional deposit made to the Airport Account of the
- 43 -
Airport Development Fund in the succeeding Additional Term shall be increased
by an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the difference between the
Targeted Expenses and the actual Airport System Expenses for that Term.
(c) If actual Airport System Expenses in an Additional Term are five percent (5%) or
greater, but less than ten percent (10%) below the Targeted Expenses for that
Additional Term, then the additional deposit made to the Airport Account of the
Airport Development Fund in the succeeding Additional Term shall be increased
by an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the difference between the
Targeted Expenses and the actual Airport System Additional Expenses for that
Term.
(d) If actual Airport System Expenses in an Additional Term are at least ten percent
(10%) below the Targeted Expenses for that Additional Term, then the additional
deposit made to the Airport Account of the Airport Development Fund in the
succeeding Additional Term shall be increased by an amount equal to twenty-five
percent (25%) of the difference between the Targeted Expenses and the actual
Airport System Expenses for that Term.
8.07 Capital Improvements
(a) If the schedule of capital improvements submitted by City as part of the Annual
Reports for the succeeding Additional Term includes capital improvements that are to be funded
through Scheduled Airline Landing Fees or Rentals during such Additional Term and requires
the commitment by City for the purchase or construction of (i) a single item at a cost of Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars or more, or (ii) items which in the aggregate exceed a cost of Seven
Hundred Thousand Dollars, then the inclusion of the purchase price, construction cost or annual
debt service of Additional Revenue Bonds (the “Cost” of the capital improvements) for such
item or items in the Landing Fee or Rental calculation for the succeeding Additional Term or
Terms is subject to the following:
(i) The Director of Port Control shall submit to the Scheduled Airline,
at least 90 days before the expiration of the then current Term, a description of the
proposed capital improvement with preliminary drawings and cost estimates if
available, a brief statement of the need for such expenditure, the allocation of the
Cost to the various Cost Centers, and City’s preferred means of financing the Cost.
Within a reasonable time, but no sooner than 30 days thereafter, the Director of
Port Control shall convene a meeting of the Scheduled Airlines for the purpose of
- 44 -
discussing and voting on each such proposed capital improvement and the means
of financing its Cost.
(ii) The Scheduled Airlines, by a vote of the Majority In Interest given
at such meeting or by individual Airline letter vote given within 10 days thereafter,
may disapprove the capital improvement, and its Cost shall not be included in the
calculation of Landing Fees or Rentals for the succeeding Additional Term unless
authorized under the procedures provided below. If the proposed capital
improvement is not disapproved by a Majority In Interest, its cost shall be
included in the calculation of Landing Fees or Rentals for the succeeding
Additional Term.
(iii) In the event a proposed capital improvement is disapproved as
provided above, the Director of Port Control may convene a second meeting of
the Scheduled Airlines to be held no sooner than seven business days nor later
than 15 business days following the final vote disapproving the capital
improvement. At such second meeting, the Director of Port Control shall ask for
reconsideration of the previously disapproved capital improvement. On
reconsideration, the capital improvement shall be deemed approved unless it is
again disapproved by a vote of the Majority In Interest given to City at such
meeting.
(iv) Provided that the procedures set forth above in this Section 8.07
have been followed, the Board of Control may include the Cost in the succeeding
Additional Term’s calculation for Landing Fees and Rentals, notwithstanding
disapproval of such item by a Majority In Interest, if the Board of Control
determines that such capital improvement is necessary or prudent to:
(1) comply with a rule, regulation or order of any
federal or state agency; or
(2) continue the operation, maintenance and expansion
of the Airport System for any of the purposes intended hereunder;
or
(3) maintain or create functional capability at the
Airport System at a level that is required by public health, safety or
welfare or for the better security of the Revenue Bonds; or
(4) produce a net increase in Airport Revenue from the
operation of new or expanded Airport System facilities to be
constructed with the proposed capital expenditures; or
(5) maintain a level of operations, facilities and services
equivalent to other prudently operated airports comparable to the
Airport System.
- 45 -
The Board of Control shall also determine the means of financing the Cost. The
determination of the Board of Control shall be binding and final unless a Majority In Interest
deems it desirable to contest such capital improvement. In such event the Scheduled Airlines
shall, within 30 days after the determination by the Board of Control, challenge said
determination in a court of competent jurisdiction therein contesting the justification for the
proposed capital improvement based upon the above factors or the reasonableness of City’s
choice of the method of financing its Cost. City will not proceed with such capital improvement
unless or until such action has been dismissed by the Scheduled Airlines or finally adjudicated in
favor of City. The Scheduled Airlines will diligently prosecute the aforementioned action, and
should the case be dismissed by the Scheduled Airlines or should the City prevail the Scheduled
Airlines will pay City’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by it
in connection with said action.
(b) The Two and Seven Hundred Thousand Dollar amounts provided in subsection (a)
hereof shall be adjusted annually in proportion with changes in the monthly Engineering News
Record 20 Cities Construction Costs Index, or, if such Index is hereafter no longer published,
such similar index as City may determine, using the Index for December 1975 as the base period
from which adjustments shall be computed.
(c) Regardless of the foregoing, if City executes an agreement pursuant to which the
user or users of a capital improvement agree to pay rentals or charges that will fully reimburse
City for the Cost thereof, including the payment of all maintenance and operating costs
associated therewith, then inclusion of the Cost of such capital improvement is not subject to the
procedures of 8.07(a) hereof.
- 46 -
8.08 Annual Revenue and Expense Statement
For the purpose of keeping Airline informed as to the revenues and expenses of the
Airport System, City shall request its firm of independent certified public accountants to
supplement the annual audit with a statement of actual revenues and expenses showing
reasonable detail as to basis for allocation and the distribution of revenues and expenses. If
requested by Airline, City will also provide quarterly statements reflecting the results of
operation for such quarter. City shall provide, upon written request of Airline, answers to
questions raised by Airline as a result of Airline’s review of the revenue and expenses statements.
In allocating and distributing revenues and expenses, City shall observe generally accepted
accounting principles.
8.09 Alternative Funding
The City may issue Additional Revenue Bonds and incur Subordinated Indebtedness to
fund any of the capital improvements that have not been disapproved by vote of a Majority In
Interest given as provided in Section 8.07. The City may issue Additional Revenue Bonds and
incur Subordinated Indebtedness to refund outstanding Revenue Bonds or Subordinated
Indebtedness. However, any such refunding transaction that does not generate net debt service
savings on an average annual basis and an aggregate basis shall be submitted to the Scheduled
Airlines for review and may be undertaken by the City only if the refunding transaction has not
been disapproved by vote of a Majority In Interest given as provided in Section 8.07. The City
may also enter into Hedge Agreements and obtain Credit Support Instruments that are not
considered to be obligations in respect of principal or interest on Revenue Bonds or Subordinated
Indebtedness, subject to review of such arrangements by the Scheduled Airlines and provided
that such arrangements have not been disapproved by vote of a Majority In Interest given as
- 47 -
provided in Section 8.07. The debt service, debt service reserve and other payment requirements
of any such Additional Revenue Bonds, Subordinated Indebtedness, Credit Support Instruments
and Hedge Agreements shall be considered in any subsequent adjustment of Rentals or Landing
Fees hereunder.
8.10 Insufficiency of Airport Revenues; Adjustment of Landing Fee
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if, at any time during any Additional
Term, Airport Revenues are insufficient to pay, when due, all items included in the Annual
Reports prepared pursuant to this Article VIII, or to pay any other expense or cost incidental or
necessary to, or arising out of, the operation of the Airport System, including, without limitation,
emergency repairs or expenses, the costs of defending, settling or satisfying any litigation which
relates to the Airport System, or any aspect thereof, or to compensate for the loss of Airport
Revenue by reason of any labor dispute, City may, upon ninety days’ notice to Airline,
immediately increase the Landing Fees to such amount as is sufficient to assure City that all such
items, expenses and costs shall be paid in full solely from Airport Revenues. If a proposed
settlement of any litigation referred to above would result in an increase of 10% or more in the
Landing Fees otherwise payable during the then current Additional Term, City shall submit such
proposed settlement to the Scheduled Airlines. If not disapproved by a Majority In Interest
within twenty days after such submission, City may promptly implement such proposed
settlement and increase Landing Fees accordingly. If disapproved by a Majority In Interest as
aforesaid, the Scheduled Airlines shall promptly assume the full responsibility for the defense of
such litigation; provided, however, that the settlement as proposed by City shall be implemented
as if approved by a Majority In Interest unless, within ten days after such disapproval, a Majority
In Interest gives to City an indemnity, satisfactory to the Director of Law of City, indemnifying
- 48 -
and saving City harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage or expense,
including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to such litigation.
(b) In the event that any of the quarterly statements of the Airport System indicate
that Landing Fees for such quarter varied by more than 10% from the projected Landing Fees for
such quarter, as determined pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof, the Landing Fees for the balance of
such Additional Term shall, at the request of either City or a Majority In Interest, be adjusted for
the balance of such Additional Term by an amount equal to such difference divided by the
estimated Maximum landing Weight of Revenue Aircraft Arrivals during the balance of such
Additional Term.
(c) If the annual statement for the preceding Term referred to in Section 20.16 hereof
demonstrates that Airport Revenues over Airport System Expense is greater or less than that used
in calculating the Landing Fee for the then Current Term pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof, such
difference shall be charged or credited to Airline over the remaining billing periods in the
Current Term in the percentage which Airline’s total Landing Fees for such preceding Term bore
to the total Landing Fees paid by the Scheduled Airlines for such preceding Term.
ARTICLE IX REVENUE BOND FUNDS
So long as any Revenue Bonds secured by the Indenture remain outstanding, all Airport
Revenue shall be deposited, maintained and paid as hereinafter set forth in this Article IX and in
the Indenture. All definitional terms contained in this Article IX which are not defined in this
Agreement are to have meanings set forth in the Indenture.
- 49 -
9.01 Revenue Fund
There shall be held and maintained by the Trustee so long as any Revenue Bonds remain
outstanding a separate trust fund to be known as the “Airport Revenue Fund” (herein referred to
as the “Revenue Fund”). All Airport Revenues shall be deposited in the Revenue Fund.

9.03 Allocation of Revenues to Special Funds
On the day of each month provided in the Indenture the Trustee shall apply the moneys
on deposit in the Revenue Fund for the following purposes in the order hereinafter set forth.
- 50 -
9.04 Payment to Bond Service Fund; Application Thereof
(a) First, to the Bond Service Fund, (i) to the Interest Account, the amount that, if
deposited in approximately equal monthly installments, would be sufficient, taking into account
other moneys on deposit in the Interest Account available therefor, to pay interest due on the
Revenue Bonds on the next ensuing interest payment date; (ii) to the Principal Account, the
amount that, if deposited in approximately equal monthly installments, would be sufficient,
taking into account other moneys on deposit in the Principal Account available therefor, to pay
the principal of the Revenue Bonds payable on the next ensuing principal payment date, whether
by mandatory sinking fund redemption or due at stated maturity; provided such monthly
payments need not begin sooner than the twelfth month prior to the date principal is payable; and
(iii) to the Redemption Account, the amount needed, together with other moneys in that Account
available therefor, to pay the redemption price payable on the redemption date of any Revenue
Bonds called for redemption prior to maturity; and (iv) in addition to the requirements of the
foregoing subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) any amount as may be necessary, after complying with
those requirements, to make up any previous deficiency in the Bond Service Fund.
(b) In the event the City enters into a Hedge Agreement with respect to any series of
Revenue Bonds, there shall be deposited in the Interest Account of the Bond Service Fund by the
Trustee on the first day of each month from moneys deposited in the Revenue Fund, the net
amount owed to the Hedge Counterparty in the next succeeding 30 days by the City in respect of
periodic, interest-equivalent payments under the Hedge Agreement, net of amounts then on
deposit in the Interest Account for the purpose, or amounts to be netted against the payment
obligations of the City. In the event that payments are made under the Hedge Agreement on a
basis less frequently than monthly, the deposit to the Interest Account of the Bond Service Fund
- 51 -
on the first day of each month shall be such equal monthly amount as shall result in a balance in
the Interest Account, on or before the date payment is due to the Hedge Counterparty, of an
amount not less than the net amount owed to the Hedge Counterparty on the next payment date.
There shall be deposited in the Interest Account of the Bond Service Fund, as and when received,
amounts from the Hedge Counterparty paid to the City in respect of periodic, interest-equivalent
amounts owed under the Hedge Agreement.
(c) All income and earnings on the investment and reinvestment of the moneys in the
Bond Service Fund shall be retained by the Trustee and maintained as a part of the Bond Service
Fund.
(d) The Bond Service Fund is pledged to, and shall be used and applied as provided
in Article V of the Indenture solely and exclusively for, the payment of Bond service charges on
Revenue Bonds and amounts owed under Hedge Agreements in respect of periodic interest
equivalent payments (but not any amounts owed in respect of early termination of any Hedge
Agreement), as they are due and payable, including, in the case of Bond service charges, upon
stated maturity of Revenue Bonds or upon their optional or mandatory redemption. Pending that
application, moneys in the Bond Service Fund shall be subject to a lien and pledge in favor of the
holders of the Revenue Bonds and, to the extent of periodic, interest equivalent amounts owed
under Hedge Agreements, in favor of the counterparties under those Hedge Agreements.
9.05 Payment to Bond Service Reserve Fund; Application Thereof
Second, to the Bond Service Reserve Fund, the amount, if any, required to make the
amount in the Bond Service Reserve Fund at least equal to the then Required Bond Service
Reserve. No payments need to be made from the Revenue Fund to the credit of the Bond
- 52 -
Service Reserve Fund at any time when the amount therein shall be at least equal to the then
Required Bond Service Reserve.
If on the third day preceding any interest or principal payment date the Bond Service
Fund is insufficient to meet the then respective Bond service charges to be paid from the Bond
Service Fund on such date, the Trustee shall immediately transfer from the Bond Service
Reserve Fund to the Bond Service Fund the amount required to make up such deficiency (or the
entire balance of the Bond Service Reserve Fund if less than sufficient) subject, however, to any
deficiency in the Bond Service Fund being first made up by application of moneys in the other
Special Funds as hereinafter provided and only if such moneys are not so available or are not
otherwise provided by City, shall the transfer provided herein occur.
Subject to the foregoing, if on the date provided in the Indenture in any Fiscal Year the
amount in the Bond Service Reserve Fund is in excess of the Required Bond Service Reserve,
subject to the provisions of the following paragraph relative to income and earnings on the
investment and reinvestment of the Bond Service Reserve Fund, the Trustee shall transfer such
excess to the Bond Service Fund.
All income and earnings on the investment and reinvestment of the moneys in the Bond
Service Reserve Fund shall be retained by the Trustee and maintained as part of said Fund
provided, however, that if the Bond Service Reserve Fund is equal to the Required Bond Service
Reserve, the Trustee shall, upon the close of each Fiscal Year after the Initial Term, transfer all
such excess income and earnings to City for deposit to the credit of the Renewal and
Replacement Fund.
- 53 -
The Bond Service Reserve Fund is pledged by the Indenture to and shall be used and
applied solely and exclusively for the payment of the Bond service charges and shall, pending
application, be subject to a lien and pledge in favor of the holders of the Revenue Bonds.
9.06 Payment to Operating and Maintenance Fund; Application Thereof
(a) Third, commencing on the date provided in the Indenture, to City, for deposit to
the credit of the Operating and Maintenance Fund, the balance remaining in the Revenue Fund.
From the moneys in the Operating and Maintenance Fund City shall first pay all maintenance
and operating expenses of the Airport System as provided in the Annual Reports; provided,
however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit City of its own volition from
paying such expenses, or any portion thereof, from other funds of City lawfully available for the
purpose. After retaining such amount as found by City on the basis of past and prospective
operations of the Airport System, to be necessary to provide an adequate working capital reserve
not to exceed an amount estimated to be needed to meet one quarter of the gross cost contained
in the Annual Budget for the next twelve month period together with such amounts as may be
established by City to fund any of the capital improvements included in its applicable Annual
Reports, the City shall transfer and deposit the remaining moneys in the Operating and
Maintenance Fund as follows:
(b) Payment to Subordinated Debt Service Fund; Application Thereof. If and so long
as any Subordinated Indebtedness is outstanding, to the Subordinated Debt Service Fund: (i) the
equal monthly sum necessary (after allowing for any moneys then on hand in the Subordinated
Debt Service Fund), to provide for the payment of interest due and payable on the next ensuing
interest payment date on the then outstanding Subordinated Indebtedness; (ii) the equal monthly
sum necessary (after allowing for any moneys then on hand in the Subordinated Debt Service
- 54 -
Fund) to provide for the payment of the principal required to be paid on the next ensuing
principal payment date on all the then outstanding Subordinated Indebtedness; provided such
monthly payments need not begin sooner than the twelfth month prior to the date principal is
payable; (iii) the amount needed, together with other moneys on deposit in the Subordinated
Debt Service Fund available therefor, to pay the redemption price payable on the redemption
date of any Subordinated Indebtedness called for redemption prior to maturity; (iv) the amount
needed, together with other moneys on deposit in the Subordinated Debt Service Fund available
therefor, to cause any reserve account to be equal to the required reserve, and (v) the amount, if
any, required to restore any deficiency in the Subordinated Debt Service Fund for any amounts
transferred therefrom to the Bond Service Fund as described below.
In the event the City enters into a Hedge Agreement with respect to any Subordinated
Indebtedness, there shall be deposited in the Subordinated Debt Service Fund on the first day of
each month, the net amount owed to the Hedge Counterparty in the next succeeding 30 days by
the City in respect of periodic, interest-equivalent payments under the Hedge Agreement, net of
amounts then on deposit in that Fund for the purpose, or amounts to be netted against the
payment obligations of the City. In the event that payments are made under the Hedge
Agreement on a basis less frequently than monthly, the deposit to the Subordinated Debt Service
Fund on the first day of each month shall be such equal monthly amount as shall result in a
balance in the Fund, on or before the date payment is due to the Hedge Counterparty, of an
amount not less than the net amount owed to the Hedge Counterparty on the next payment date.
There shall be deposited in the Subordinated Debt Service Fund, as and when received, amounts
from the Hedge Counterparty paid to the City in respect of periodic, interest-equivalent amounts
owed under the Hedge Agreement.
- 55 -
In the event Subordinated Indebtedness is secured by a reserve account of the
Subordinated Debt Service Fund, there shall be deposited in that reserve account, after making
all of the deposits described above, such amount that, if deposited in approximately equal
monthly installments, would be sufficient, taking into account other moneys in the reserve
account, to satisfy the reserve requirement for the Subordinated Indebtedness.
If on the fifth day preceding any interest or principal payment date the Bond Service
Fund is insufficient to meet the respective Bond service charges to be paid therefrom on such
date, the Trustee shall request the City to transfer from the Subordinated Debt Service Fund to
the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Service Fund the amount sufficient to make up any such
deficiency, and the City shall, unless the City provides moneys for such transfer from some other
lawful source, immediately transfer from the Subordinated Debt Service Fund to the Trustee for
deposit in the Bond Service Fund, the amount sufficient to make up such deficiency in the Bond
Service Fund (or the entire balance of the Subordinated Debt Service Fund if less than sufficient)
subject, however, to such deficiency having been first made up by application of moneys in the
General Obligation Debt Service Fund, Renewal and Replacement Fund, Improvement Fund,
Surplus Fund or Airport Development Fund as hereinafter provided. In addition, if at any time
there is a deficiency in the Bond Service Reserve Fund, the Trustee shall request the City to
transfer moneys from the Subordinated Debt Service Fund to the Bond Service Reserve Fund
and the City shall, provided no deficiency exists in the Bond Service Fund and unless the City
provides moneys for such transfer from some other lawful source, immediately transfer from the
Subordinated Debt Service Fund, but only after using any moneys then in the General Obligation
Debt Service Fund, the Renewal and Replacement Fund, the Improvement Fund, the Surplus
Fund or the Airport Development Fund as provided below, to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond
- 56 -
Service Reserve Fund an amount sufficient to make up such deficiency (or the entire balance in
the Subordinated Debt Service Fund if less than sufficient).
Subject to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, City shall transfer the moneys
deposited to the credit of the Subordinated Debt Service Fund to the appropriate paying agents to
pay interest and principal as the same become due and payable on any Subordinated
Indebtedness then outstanding, and, until such Subordinated Indebtedness is paid in full, or other
provision made for its payment, City covenants and agrees to promptly make such payments so
that all such moneys deposited to the credit of the Subordinated Debt Service Fund as aforesaid
will be applied to pay the principal and interest on its Subordinated Indebtedness.
Subject to the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs as to transfers, all income and
earnings on the investment and reinvestment of the moneys in the Subordinated Debt Service
Fund shall be retained by City and maintained as a part of that Fund.
Upon the discharge of all Subordinated Indebtedness, any moneys remaining in the
Subordinated Debt Service Fund shall be transferred to the Trustee for deposit in the Revenue
Fund.
(c) Payment to General Obligation Debt Service Fund; Application Thereof. If and
so long as General Obligation Debt is outstanding, to the General Obligation Debt Service Fund:
(i) the equal monthly sum necessary (after allowing for any moneys then on hand in the General
Obligation Debt Service Fund), to provide for the payment of interest due and payable on the
next ensuing interest payment date on the then outstanding General Obligation Debt; (ii) the
equal monthly sum necessary (after allowing for any moneys then on hand in the General
Obligation Debt Service Fund) to provide for the payment of the principal required to be paid on
the next ensuing principal payment date on all the then outstanding General Obligation Debt;
- 57 -
provided that such monthly payments need not begin sooner than the twelfth month prior to the
date principal is payable; (iii) the amount needed, together with other moneys on deposit in the
General Obligation Debt Service Fund available therefore, to pay the redemption price payable
on any General Obligation Debt on the redemption date of any General Obligation Debt called
for redemption prior to maturity; and (iv) the amount, if any, required to restore any deficiency in
the General Obligation Debt Service Fund for any amounts transferred therefrom to the Bond
Service Fund, the Bond Service Reserve Fund or the Subordinated Debt Service Fund. No
monthly payments need to be made with respect to the principal of any general obligation notes
to the extent that the principal of those general obligation notes will be paid by the City at the
maturity thereof from the proceeds of renewal general obligation notes, general obligation bonds,
Revenue Bonds or from any other lawful source other than moneys in the General Obligation
Debt Service Fund.
If on the fifth day preceding any interest or principal payment date the Bond Service
Fund is insufficient to meet the respective Bond service charges to be paid therefrom on such
date, the Trustee shall request City that moneys be transferred from the General Obligation Debt
Service Fund to the Bond Service Fund and City shall, unless City provides moneys for such
transfer from some other lawful source, immediately transfer from the General Obligation Debt
Service Fund to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Service Fund, the amounts sufficient to make
up such deficiency in the Bond Service Fund (or the entire balance of the General Obligation
Debt Service Fund if less than sufficient) subject, however, to such deficiency having been first
made up by application of moneys in the Renewal and Replacement Fund, Improvement Fund,
Surplus Fund or Airport Development Fund as hereinafter provided. In addition, if at any time
there is a deficiency in the Bond Service Reserve Fund, the Trustee shall request the City to
- 58 -
transfer moneys from the General Obligation Debt Service Fund to the Bond Service Reserve
Fund and the Issuer shall, provided no deficiency exists in the Bond Service Fund and unless the
City provides moneys for such transfer from some other lawful source, immediately transfer
from the General Obligation Debt Service Fund, but only after using any moneys then in the
Renewal and Replacement Fund, the Improvement Fund, the Surplus Fund or the Airport
Development Fund as provided below, to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Service Reserve
Fund an amount sufficient to make up such deficiency (or the entire balance of the General
Obligation Debt Service Fund if less than sufficient).
Subject to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, City shall transfer the moneys
deposited to the credit of the General Obligation Debt Service Fund to the appropriate paying
agents to pay interest and principal as the same become due and payable on any General
Obligation Debt then outstanding, and, until such General Obligation Debt is paid in full, or
other provision made for its payment, City covenants and agrees to promptly make such
payments so that all such moneys deposited to the credit of the General Obligation Debt Service
Fund as aforesaid will be applied to pay the principal and interest on its General Obligation Debt.
Subject to the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs as to transfers, all income and
earnings on the investment and reinvestment of the moneys in the General Obligation Debt
Service Fund shall be retained by City and maintained as a part of said Fund.
Upon the retirement of all General Obligation Debt, any moneys remaining in the
General Obligation Debt Service Fund shall be transferred to the Trustee for deposit in the
Revenue Fund.
(d) Payment to Renewal and Replacement Fund; Application Thereof. To the
Renewal and Replacement Fund, the equal monthly sum necessary (after allowing for any
- 59 -
moneys then on hand in the Renewal and Replacement Fund) to restore in the next succeeding
twelve months to the Renewal and Replacement Fund any amounts previously transferred from
the Renewal and Replacement Fund, as hereinafter provided, until the amount therein is equal to
the Renewal and Replacement Fund Payment.
If on the seventh day preceding any interest or principal payment date the Bond Service
Fund is insufficient to meet the then respective Bond service charges to be paid therefrom on
such date, the Trustee shall request City that moneys be transferred from the Renewal and
Replacement Fund to the Bond Service Fund and City shall, prior to using any moneys then in
the Bond Service Reserve Fund or the Subordinated Debt Service Fund or the General
Obligation Debt Service Fund, but after using any money then in the Improvement Fund, Surplus
Fund or Airport Development Fund, as hereinafter provided, unless City provides moneys for
such transfer from other lawful sources, immediately transfer from the Renewal and
Replacement Fund to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Service Fund the amount sufficient to
make up such deficiency in the Bond Service Fund (or the entire balance of the Renewal and
Replacement Fund if less than sufficient). In addition, if at any time there is a deficiency in the
Bond Service Reserve Fund, the Trustee shall request City that moneys be transferred from the
Renewal and Replacement Fund to the Bond Service Reserve Fund and City shall, provided no
deficiency exists in the Bond Service Fund and unless City provides moneys for such transfer
from some other lawful source, immediately transfer from the Renewal and Replacement Fund,
but only after using any money then in the Improvement Fund, Surplus Fund or Airport
Development Fund, as hereinafter provided, to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Service
Reserve Fund amounts sufficient to make up such deficiency (or the entire balance in the
Renewal and Replacement Fund if less than sufficient).
- 60 -
Subject to the foregoing, provided all payments have been made to the Bond Service
Fund and Bond Service Reserve Fund, and there is no deficiency in either of those Special Funds,
and so long as there is no default under the terms of the Bond proceedings and the Indenture and
a deficiency exists in the Subordinated Debt Service Fund, City shall transfer moneys first from
the Renewal and Replacement Fund to the Subordinated Debt Service Fund to the Trustee for
deposit in the Subordinated Debt Service Fund an amount sufficient to make up any deficiency
in the Subordinated Debt Service Fund (or the entire balance in the General Obligation Debt
Service Fund and the Renewal and Replacement Fund if less than sufficient).
Subject to the foregoing, provided all payments have been made to the Bond Service
Fund, the Bond Service Reserve Fund and the Subordinated Debt Service Fund, and there is no
deficiency in any of those Special Funds, and so long as there is no default under the terms of the
Bond proceedings and the Indenture and a deficiency exists in the General Obligation Debt
Service Fund, City shall transfer moneys from the Renewal and Replacement Fund to the
General Obligation Debt Service Fund and City shall transfer from the Renewal and
Replacement Fund to the Trustee for deposit in the General Obligation Debt Service Fund an
amount sufficient to make up any deficiency in the General Obligation Debt Service Fund (or the
entire balance in the Renewal and Replacement Fund if less than sufficient).
All income and earnings on the investment and reinvestment of the Renewal and
Replacement Fund shall be retained in and maintained as part of the Renewal and Replacement
Fund until such time as the amount therein equals the Renewal and Replacement Fund Payment
and if after attaining such amount the Renewal and Replacement Fund is diminished all such
excess income and earnings shall be similarly applied, as earned; provided, however, that if such
amount is maintained all such income and earnings shall be transferred, in equal amount to the
- 61 -
Improvement Fund and Surplus Fund until the amount in each such Fund equals Three Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000), and if after attaining such amounts either Fund is diminished
all such excess income and earnings shall be similarly applied, as earned; provided, however,
that if such amounts are maintained all such excess income and earnings shall be transferred in
equal amounts to the Airport Account and the Airline Account of the Airport Development Fund.
Subject to the provisions of this Section, moneys in the Renewal and Replacement Fund
may be applied by City in its sole discretion for payment of costs of rebuilding, reconstructing,
repairing, altering, replacing and renewing the Airport System. The City will consult with the
Scheduled Airlines prior to making an expenditure from the Renewal and Replacement Fund
(other than expenditures for nonrecurring emergencies or safety-related repairs or replacements)
that will reduce the balance in the Renewal and Replacement Fund to a level that will require a
material increase in the landing fee to generate Airport Revenue sufficient to restore the balance
in the Renewal and Replacement Fund to the Renewal and Replacement Fund Payment.
(e) Payments to Improvement Fund and Surplus Fund; Applications Thereof. To the
Improvement Fund and the Surplus Fund (i) prior to January 1, 2007, on a monthly basis, the

twelve months any amounts previously transferred from the Improvement Fund and/or Surplus
Fund, until the amount on deposit in each Fund is at least Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($350,000).

Fund is insufficient to meet the then respective Bond service charges to be paid therefrom on
- 62 -

Improvement Fund and the Surplus Fund to the Bond Service Fund and City shall, prior to the
application of moneys in the Bond Service Reserve Fund, the Subordinated Debt Service Fund,
the General Obligation Debt Service Fund or the Renewal and Replacement Fund as herein
provided, and unless City provides moneys for such transfer from other lawful sources,
immediately transfer from the Improvement Fund and the Surplus Fund to the Trustee for deposit
in the Bond Service Fund the amount or amounts sufficient to make up such deficiency in the
Bond Service Fund (or the entire balance in both the Improvement Fund and the Surplus Fund if
less than sufficient). If at any time there is a deficiency in the Bond Service Reserve Fund, and
no deficiency exists in the Bond Service Fund, the Trustee shall request City to transfer moneys
in equal amounts from the Improvement Fund and the Surplus Fund to the Bond Service Reserve
Fund and City shall, unless City provides moneys for such transfer from some other lawful
source, immediately transfer from the Improvement Fund and the Surplus Fund to the Bond
Service Reserve Fund amounts sufficient to make up such deficiency (or the entire balance in
both the Improvement Fund and the Surplus Fund if less than sufficient).
Subject to the foregoing, on or before December 31, 2006: (i) all moneys on deposit in
the Improvement Fund in excess of Three Hundred Fifty-Thousand Dollars ($350,000) shall be
transferred to the Airline Account of the Airport Development Fund, (ii) from the moneys then
on deposit in the Surplus Fund there shall be transferred to the Coverage Account of the Revenue

Dollars ($350,000) shall be transferred to the Airport Account of the Airport Development Fund.
- 63 -
Subject to the foregoing, provided all payments have been made to the Bond Service
Fund and Bond Service Reserve Fund, and there is no deficiency in either of those Special Funds,
and a deficiency exists in the Subordinated Debt Service Fund, City shall transfer moneys in
equal amounts from the Improvement Fund and Surplus Fund to the Subordinated Debt Service
Fund in an amount sufficient to make up any deficiency which may then exist in the
Subordinated Debt Service Fund (or the entire balance in each Fund if less than sufficient).
Subject to the foregoing, provided all payments have been made to the Bond Service
Fund the Bond Service Reserve Fund and the Subordinated Debt Service Fund, and there is no
deficiency in any of those Special Funds, and a deficiency exists in the General Obligation Debt
Service Fund, City shall transfer moneys in equal amounts from the Improvement Fund and
Surplus Fund to the General Obligation Debt Service Fund in sum sufficient to make up any
deficiency which may then exist in the General Obligation Debt Service Fund (or the entire
balance in each Fund if less than sufficient).

procedures of Section 8.07 of the Agreement, moneys remaining in the Improvement Fund on
such ninth day preceding any interest or payment date may be applied to any proper Airport
System purpose.
Subject to the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs as to transfers, moneys remaining in
the Surplus Fund on such ninth day preceding any interest or principal payment date may be used
by City in its sole discretion for any proper Airport System purpose.

investment and reinvestment of moneys in the Improvement Fund and the Surplus Fund shall be
retained by City and maintained as a part of those Funds.
- 64 -
(f) Payments to Airport Development Fund. On and after January 1, 2007, after
making the deposits provided in (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, annually the amount of $4,250,000
shall be deposited in the Airport Account of the Airport Development Fund and annually the
amount of $4,250,000 shall be deposited in the Airline Account of the Airport Development
Fund, in equal monthly installments.
Money in the Airport Development Fund may be used for any Airport System purpose.
Money in the Airport Account will be used at the discretion of the City. Money in the Airline
Account will be used at the discretion of a Majority In Interest of the Scheduled Airlines.
However, no prior consent shall be required for transfer of money in either Account of the
Airport Development Fund to another Special Fund, as set forth in Article IX of the Agreement.
Subject to the foregoing, the Scheduled Airlines and the City may agree, in connection
with the preparation of the Annual Reports for any Additional Term, that amounts on deposit in
the Airline Account and/or the Airport Account of the Airport Development Fund shall be made
available as Other Available Funds in the calculation of the landing fee for that Additional Term
to aid in the reduction of airport rates and charges. Amounts to be made available as Other
Available Funds shall be transferred to the Coverage Account of the Revenue Fund established
in the Indenture. In the event that the amount in the Coverage Account of the Revenue Fund
exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the maximum annual debt service on all outstanding
Revenue Bonds occurring in any subsequent Fiscal Year, the amount in excess of that twenty-
five per cent (25%) shall be transferred to the Airport Development Fund, unless the City and the
Scheduled Airlines otherwise agree in connection with the preparation of the Annual Reports.
Any moneys to be so transferred from the Coverage Account of the Revenue Fund to the Airport
Development Fund shall be transferred to the Airport Account and the Airline Account in
- 65 -
amounts proportionate to any transfers made to the Coverage Account from the Surplus Fund,
Improvement Fund and the Accounts of the Airport Development Fund.
The annual deposits to the Airport Account and the Airline Account shall be adjusted
beginning January 1, 2008 through such date as the annual deposits to each Sub-fund first equal
or exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), based on the change in the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers, All Items (1982-1984=100), U.S. City Average, as published by the
United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for the immediately preceding
twelve months for which such data is available over the twelve month period prior to that,
adjusted for the percentage change in the total enplaned passengers at the Airport for the
immediately preceding twelve months for which such data is available over the total annual
enplaned passengers at the Airport during the twelve month period prior to that; provided that the
- 66 -
CPI Index
(12 months prior to
last 12 months)
yearly required deposits for any Additional Term shall not be reduced below the prior year’s
deposits.
1
Annual Deposit for Additional Term shall not be less than the amount of the prior year’s
deposit.
After such time as the annual deposits in each Account first equal or exceed Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000), the annual deposits to the Airport Account and the Airline Account shall
be increased (or decreased) as provided below, but based on the change in the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers, All Items (1982-1984=100), U.S. City Average, as published by
the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for the immediately
preceding twelve months for which such data is available over the twelve month period prior to
that, adjusted for the percentage change in the total annual enplaned passengers at the Airport in
the last twelve months that such data is available over the total annual enplaned passengers at the
Airport for the immediately preceding twelve months for which such data is available over the
total annual enplaned passengers at the Airport during the twelve month period prior to that;
provided that the yearly required deposits for such Additional Term shall not be reduced below
Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

Annually in connection with the year-end settlement performed under Section 8.10(c), a
determination shall be made of any additional deposits required to be made to the Airport
Account of the Airport Development Fund as provided in this paragraph, based upon the growth
of non-airline revenues (excluding any future duty-free concession revenues) realized from the
following Cost Centers: Terminal Building, all Concourses, Airline Constructed Space and
Parking and Roadways. Beginning January 1, 2006, for each year during which the finally
determined non-airline revenue (as defined above) per enplaned passenger, exclusive of
international passengers, exceeds the finally determined nonairline revenue per enplaned
passenger during 2005, exclusive of international passengers, by ten percent (10%) (with such
aggregate amount being adjusted annually beginning in 2006 based on changes in CPI as set
forth above (and with such adjusted level being herein referred to as the “trigger amount”)), then
fifty percent (50%) of all non-airline revenues per enplaned passenger, exclusive of international
passengers, in excess of the trigger amount, shall be deposited annually into the Airport Account
of the Airport Development Fund. The City agrees that it will use commercially reasonable
efforts to maximize non-airline revenue during 2005.
If on the tenth day preceding any interest or principal payment date, the Bond Service
Fund is insufficient to meet the then respective Bond service charges to be paid therefrom on
such date, the Trustee shall transfer moneys in equal amounts from the Airport Account and the
Airline Account of the Airport Development Fund to the Bond Service Fund, prior to the
application of moneys in the Bond Service Reserve Fund, the Subordinated Debt Service Fund,
the General Obligation Debt Service Fund, the Renewal and Replacement Fund, the
Improvement Fund or the Surplus Fund, as herein provided, and unless City provides moneys for
such transfer from other lawful sources, the amount sufficient to make up such deficiency in the
- 68 -
Bond Service Fund (or the entire balance in both Accounts of the Airport Development Fund if
less than sufficient); provided further, that if at any time there is a deficiency in the Bond Service
Reserve Fund, and no deficiency exists in the Bond Service Fund, the Trustee shall transfer
moneys in equal amounts from those Accounts of the Airport Development Fund to the Bond
Service Reserve Fund in amounts sufficient to make up such deficiency (or the entire balance in
both those Accounts of the Airport Development Fund if less than sufficient).
Subject to the foregoing, provided all payments have been made to the Bond Service
Fund and Bond Service Reserve Fund, and there is no deficiency in either of those Special Funds,
and a deficiency exists in the Subordinated Debt Service Fund, the Trustee shall transfer moneys
in equal amounts from the Airport Account and the Airline Account of the Airport Development
Fund to the Subordinated Debt Service Fund in an amount sufficient to make up any deficiency
which may then exist in the Subordinated Debt Service Fund (or the entire balance in each
Account of the Airport Development Fund if less than sufficient).
Subject to the foregoing, provided all payments have been made to the Bond Service
Fund, the Bond Service Reserve Fund and the Subordinated Debt Service Fund, and there is no
deficiency in any of those Special Funds, and a deficiency exists in the General Obligation Debt
Service Fund, the Trustee shall transfer moneys in equal amounts from the Airport Account and
Airline Account of the Airport Development Fund to the General Obligation Debt Service Fund
in sum sufficient to make up any deficiency which may then exist in the General Obligation Debt
Service Fund (or the entire balance in each Account of the Airport Development Fund if less
than sufficient).

- 71 -
10.03 Ramp Usage
Use of Airline’s Ramp Area by aircraft and passengers of others than Airline may be
requested at times by the Commissioner of Airports, and such use may necessitate access to
Airline-rented holdrooms adjacent to such Ramp Area and the use of Airline’s airplane loading
devices. Airline agrees to make such areas, facilities and equipment available to accommodate
such aircraft at the request of the Commissioner of Airports, provided that the use thereof will
not interfere with Airline’s operations hereunder and that Airline is reasonably compensated for
the use thereof by such user. Airline is authorized to obtain from such user an agreement
regarding such use.
ARTICLE XI NO OTHER CHARGES
Except for charges to concessionaires (including Airline if it is functioning as a
concessionaire) at the Airport System and to others occupying space in the Airport System and to
Airline should it exclusively occupy space in excess of the Leased Premises, no rentals, charges
or fees, other than herein expressly provided for, shall be charged or collected by City from
Airline or any other persons, including without limitation, suppliers of materials or furnishers of
service, for the privilege of transporting, loading, unloading, or handling persons, property or
mail to, from, into or on the Airport in connection with Airline’s business. Airline shall have the
full right of purchasing at the Airport its requirements of gasoline, fuel, lubricating oil, grease or
any other materials or supplies from any person or company of its choice, and no charges, fees or
tolls of any kind except as herein expressly set forth shall be charged by City, directly or
indirectly, against Airline or its suppliers for the privilege of buying, selling, using, withdrawing,

nothing herein shall prohibit City from charging those persons designated by Airline or the other
- 72 -
Scheduled Airlines to sell goods or render services to Airline or to the other Scheduled Airlines
rates charged to concessionaires at the Airport for the sale of similar goods or the rendering of
similar services.
ARTICLE XII DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS
12.01 Damage or Destruction
If, prior to payment and discharge of all Revenue Bonds, or provision for payment
thereof having been made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Leased
Premises shall be damaged or partially or totally destroyed by fire, flood, windstorm, or other
casualty, there shall be no abatement or reduction in the rent payable by Airline pursuant to
Section 7.03 or the Landing Fee payable by Airline pursuant to Section 7.05 and: (i) the portion
of the Leased Premises so damaged or destroyed shall be promptly repaired, rebuilt or restored
with such changes, alterations and modifications (including the substitution and addition of other
property) as may be agreed upon by City and Airline as shall not impair the character of the
Leased Premises; and (ii) there shall be applied for such purposes so much as may be necessary
of any net proceeds received by City or Airline under insurance policies covering such losses,
after payment of any expenses of obtaining or recovering such net proceeds, as well as any
additional moneys necessary therefor. In the event that such net proceeds are insufficient to pay
in full the costs of such repair, rebuilding or restoration, City will complete such repair,
rebuilding or restoration and Airline will provide for payment of the costs of such completion
either from its own moneys or, if City and Airline agree, from the proceeds of Additional
Revenue Bonds. Any balance of such net proceeds remaining after the payment of all costs of
such repair, rebuilding or restoration shall be paid into the Revenue Fund, upon delivery to the
Trustee of a certificate signed by City directing the transfer of the remaining moneys to the
- 73 -
Revenue Fund. If all outstanding Revenue Bonds have been paid and discharged in accordance
with the provisions of the Indenture all such net proceeds will be paid to City for the use of the
Airport System.
12.02 Eminent Domain
If, prior to full payment and discharge of all Revenue Bonds, or provision for payment
thereof having been made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, title to or the
temporary use of the Airport System, or any part thereof, or improvement thereon, shall be taken
under the exercise of the power of eminent domain by any governmental body or by any person,
firm or corporation acting under governmental authority, there shall be no abatement or
reduction in any amounts payable by Airline pursuant to Section 7.03, or the Landing Fee
payable by Airline pursuant to Section 7.05, and any net proceeds received by City or Airline
from any award made in such eminent domain proceedings shall be paid to and held by City in a
separate condemnation award account and shall be applied in one or more of the following ways,
as shall be determined by Council:
(a) The restoration of the remaining facilities of the Airport System located on City’s
real estate and constituting part of the Airport System to substantially the same condition as
existed prior to the exercise of said power of eminent domain; or
(b) The acquisition, by construction or otherwise, by City of other land or
improvements, suitable for the operation of the Airport System, as facilities of the Airport (which
land or improvements shall be deemed a part of the Airport System and available for use and
occupancy as such without any additional payment by City hereunder to the same extent as if
such other improvements were specifically described herein).
- 74 -
Any remainder of the net proceeds of the award in such eminent domain proceedings
shall, if any of the Revenue Bonds are then subject to redemption, be used by City to the extent
practicable to redeem Revenue Bonds and otherwise shall be paid into the Revenue Fund. If all
outstanding Revenue Bonds have been paid and discharged in accordance with the provisions of
the Indenture all such net proceeds will be paid to City for the use of the Airport System.
ARTICLE XIII INDEMNIFICATION LIABILITY INSURANCE
13.01 Indemnification
Subject to the provisions for waiver of subrogation set forth in Article XIV of this
Agreement, City, its officers, agents and employees, shall not be liable to Airline, or to any other
parties claiming under Airline, for claims or liabilities arising out of any injury (including death)
to any persons, or for loss of or damage to any property, regardless of how such injury or damage
may be caused or sustained, as a result of any condition (including existing or future defects) or
act or omission whatsoever in, on or about the Airport System, except to the extent that such
claim or liability shall arise from an act or omission that is the result of the sole negligence,
intentional wrongdoing or willful misconduct of City, its officers, agents and employees. In
addition, subject to the provisions for waiver of subrogation set forth in Article XIV below, City,
its officers, agents and employees, shall not be liable to Airline or to any other parties claiming
under Airline for claims or liability arising out of injury (including death) to persons or loss of or
damage to property caused or sustained as a result of any fault, negligence, act or omission,
intentional wrongdoing or willful misconduct of Airline, or any of its officers, employees, agents,
or contractors. Airline shall defend, indemnify and save harmless City, its officers, agents and
employees with respect to and shall assume the defense of any and all claims, liabilities,
obligations, damages, penalties, costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’
- 75 -
fees which may be imposed upon or incurred by City, its officers, agents and employees by
reason of any such fault, negligence, act or omission, intentional wrongdoing or willful
misconduct. The City shall provide Airline with prompt notice of any claim subject to the
Airline’s duties of defense and indemnification and such support and cooperation in connection
therewith as Airline may reasonably require. The insurance provided in Section 13.02 hereof
shall not be construed to limit Airline’s indemnity obligations hereunder.
13.02 Liability Insurance
Airline, at its sole cost and expense, for the mutual benefit of Airline and City, shall
purchase and maintain, from an insurance company reasonably acceptable to City, public and
aviation liability insurance on an occurrence basis with retention or “self-insured” amounts
reasonably acceptable to the City for claims resulting from acts or omissions occurring during
the term of the Agreement for bodily injury (including death), personal injury for discrimination,
violation of rights and false arrest/detention and damage to property occurring in, on or about the
Airport System or in connection with operations of Airline (including claims arising during the
period of construction of Airline’s improvements to the Leased Premises) in an amount of at
least $10,000,000 combined single limit (or equivalent split limits). Any aggregate limits to such
coverage shall apply exclusively to the Agreement. City shall be named as an additional insured
with respect to Airline’s public and aviation liability insurance for Airline’s operation,
maintenance and use of the Airport System, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.01.
Airline shall provide City with a certificate of insurance, which indicates that the insurance
company will provide City with at least fifteen days’ advance notice of cancellation or material
restriction or change in coverage thereof. In addition to the foregoing specified minimum limits
of liability, Airline shall purchase and maintain additional limits of liability insurance in such
- 76 -
amounts as are considered customary in connection with the operation of the business of Airline
but in no event less than $65,000,000 single limit (or equivalent split limit). Each policy of
insurance whether or not specifically referred to herein shall not, as a condition of coverage,
prohibit any insured from waiving his right of recovery against any party. The failure of City, at
any time, to enforce the provisions of this Section 13.02 concerning insurance coverage shall not
constitute a waiver of those provisions nor in any respect reduce the obligation of Airline to
defend, indemnify and hold the City, its officers, agents and employees harmless with respect to
any injury or damage covered by this Article XIII. Airline annually shall provide to the Director
of Port Control and the Director of Law of the City a certificate or certificates of insurance
evidencing that Airline has obtained and is maintaining the insurance required hereunder. Upon
request by either the Director of Port Control or the Director of Law, Airline shall make
available to the City all insurance policies of Airline under which the City is a named insured for
the City’s review. If, upon such review, the Director of Law observes that coverage, limits or
carrier are unusual and non-customary in such types of policies, the Director of Law shall have
the right to call a meeting between the City and the Airline to discuss Airline’s insurance policies.
It is understood that the Airline maintains a fleet policy. Accordingly, changes in insurance
coverage may not be possible. However, Airline will endeavor to comply with any reasonable
requests made by the Director of Law with respect to its insurance arrangements. At least fifteen
days prior to the expiration or termination of any policy provided hereunder, Airline shall deliver
to the Director of Port Control and the Director of Law certificates evidencing the renewal or
replacement of such policies.
City, for the mutual benefit of the City and Airline, shall purchase and maintain public
and aviation liability insurance for claims or liabilities for any bodily injury (including death) to
- 77 -
any persons or loss of or damage to any property occurring in, on or about the Airport System
during the term of the Agreement in an amount agreed upon from time to time by both City and
Airline which shall not be less than $75,000,000. The Airline shall be named as an additional
insured with respect to the City’s operation, maintenance and use of the Airport System, but only
to the extent of the City’s sole negligence.
ARTICLE XIV WAIVER OF SUBROGATION PROPERTY INSURANCE
Airline and City, each for its own account, agree to purchase property insurance, subject
to such deductibles as are reasonable, at replacement cost on buildings, contents, equipment
(mobile and fixed) and improvements and betterments owned or for which each may be
responsible (it being agreed that City shall be responsible for buildings in which the Leased
Premises form a part and for which the City is the owner, excluding any Airline-owned leasehold
improvements, fixtures, equipment and other personal property), to cover damage caused by fire
and perils normally covered by extended coverage insurance and, at the option of either party,
and such other perils as are customarily included in the term “all risk”, available in Cleveland,
Ohio. Each insurance policy, whether or not specifically referred to herein, shall not, as a
condition of coverage, prohibit any insured from waiving his right of recovery against any party
for loss or damage to the insured property. Subject to the foregoing, City and Airline each
hereby waive all claims and right of recovery against the other for damage to the insured
property to the extent that recovery is obtained or could be obtained from the insurance company.
Extent of recovery shall include that amount actually paid by an insurance company less any
deductibles applicable to any such policy.
- 78 -
ARTICLE XV DEFAULTS
15.01 Airline Defaults
Time is of the essence in this Agreement. Airline agrees that (a) if Airline shall be in
default in the payment of any Rentals, Landing Fees or other payments to be made by it to City
pursuant to this Agreement for ten days after written demand shall have been made therefor by
City; or (b) if Airline shall neglect, violate, be in default under, or fail to perform or observe any
of the other covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Agreement on its part to
be performed and shall not have remedied, or commenced action which will promptly remedy
same which action is thereafter diligently pursued, within thirty days after written notice thereof
given by City; or (c) if any execution or attachment shall be issued against Airline in connection
with its operation at the Airport System and such execution or attachment shall not be discharged
within ninety days after levy or seizure thereunder or the Leased Premises shall be occupied by
someone other than Airline; or (d) if the Leased Premises shall be deserted or vacated, of which
fact City shall be the sole judge; or (e) if Airline shall violate any provision of any of the
insurance policies referred to herein so that such policy shall be void or unenforceable in whole
or in part and Airline shall not, within ten days after being required in writing by City so to do,
either abate such violation and cause such policy to be reinstated or procure other insurance of
the same amount, which shall conform to the provisions for insurance referred to herein, and
shall be enforceable; or (f) if Airline shall in any way fail to perform and satisfy the requirements
of any insurance policy referred to herein, and shall continue in such failure for thirty days after
being required in writing by City to conform to such requirements; then, and in any one or more
such events, this Agreement and the term thereof shall, upon the date specified in a written notice
given by City to Airline setting forth the nature of such default, breach, matter or condition
- 79 -
(which date shall be not less than five days after the date of such notice), wholly cease and
terminate, with the same force and effect as though the date so specified were the date
hereinabove set forth as the date of the expiration of this Agreement, and thereupon City may, in
addition to other remedies, re-enter the Leased Premises and take possession of the same by
summary proceedings, re-entry or otherwise, and remove all persons and/or any property from
the Leased Premises without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and
without prejudice to any other rights which it may have by reason of such breach, default, matter
or condition.
15.02 Airline Rights and Obligations on Default
Notwithstanding any such notice of termination, if, prior to the date specified therein,
Airline shall not have completely remedied the breach, default, matter or condition specified
therein, by reason of governmental restriction or any cause beyond Airline’s reasonable control,
or by contesting or protesting with any public authority, any law, rule or regulation relating to
any such breach, default, matter or condition, then Airline may have such additional time as is
reasonably necessary to remedy the breach, default, matter or condition specified as aforesaid
(unless the notice was given for non-payment of any payments to be made by Airline to City
pursuant to this Agreement) and to continue such contest or protest to a settlement or final
determination or adjudication; provided, however, that Airline shall completely protect City and
indemnify and hold it harmless from any loss, costs, damages or expenses arising by virtue of
any liability, lien, penalty or forfeiture due to such contest or protest. As soon as reasonably
possible after notice from City so to do, Airline shall cause any lien upon the Leased Premises to
be promptly discharged by bonding or otherwise. If any breach, default, matter or condition be
remedied after notice with due diligence, subject to delays by reason of governmental regulation
- 80 -
and any cause beyond Airline’s reasonable control or, if contested or protested as aforesaid, the
same shall be remedied in view of all the circumstances within a reasonable time after it shall
have been finally determined or adjudicated against Airline, such notice shall be null and void,
and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as though such notice had not been
given, provided that Airline shall have fully protected City, as aforesaid, against any loss, costs,
damages or expenses arising by virtue of any lien on the Leased Premises or any other liability,
penalty or forfeiture.
15.03 Effect of Default
In case of such breach or default by Airline as aforesaid and termination of this
Agreement, (a) all payments to be made by Airline to City pursuant to this Agreement shall be
prorated for the portion of the current calendar year prior to the time of such termination and
shall become due and payable forthwith, (b) City may relet the Leased Premises or any part or
parts thereof (in the name of City or otherwise) for a term or terms which may at City’s option
exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this
Agreement, and (c) Airline shall also pay to City, as liquidated damages for the failure of Airline
to observe and perform Airline’s covenants herein contained, any deficiencies between (i) the
rentals, charges and fees which would have been payable by Airline to City if Airline had
maintained, for each month from the last full month of operations prior to such breach or default
through December 31, 2015 or the later termination date of this Agreement, the same average
monthly level of operations at the Airport as Airline maintained during the calendar year
preceding such breach or default, and (ii) the rentals, charges and fees collected from any
subsequent users of the Leased Premises. Any such liquidated damages shall be paid in monthly
installments by Airline as determined upon statements rendered by City to Airline, and any suit
- 81 -
brought to collect the amount of deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in any way the
rights of City to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding.
Airline shall also remain liable for any loss, cost, damage or expense, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, which City may sustain by reason of the happening of any such event.
15.04 Agreement Security
(a) Unless Airline has provided regularly scheduled passenger flights to and from the
Airport for the eighteen (18) months prior to Airline’s execution of this Agreement (or prior to
the assignment of this Agreement to Airline) without committing an act or omission that would
have been a default, breach, matter or condition (“Default”) under this Article XV if this
Agreement had been in effect during this period, Airline shall provide City on the execution of
this Agreement (or on the assignment of this Agreement to Airline) with a contract bond,
irrevocable letter of credit or other security acceptable to City (“Agreement Security”) in an
amount equal to three (3) months’ rentals, fees and charges payable by Airline under Article VII
of this Agreement, to guarantee the faithful performance by Airline of its obligations under this
Agreement and the payment of all rentals, fees and charges due hereunder. Airline shall be
obligated to maintain such Agreement Security in effect until the expiration of eighteen (18)
consecutive months (including any period prior to Airline’s execution of this Agreement or prior
to the assignment of this Agreement of Airline during which Airline provided regularly
scheduled passenger flights to and from the Airport) during which Airline commits no act of
Default under this Article XV of this Agreement (and for any such prior period, no act or
omission that would have been a Default hereunder). Such Agreement Security shall be in such
form and with such company as shall be acceptable to the Director of Port Control through the
use of reasonable discretion. In the event that any such Agreement Security shall be for a period
- 82 -
of less than the full period required by this Agreement, or if such Agreement Security may be
cancelled, Airline shall provide to the Director of Port Control a renewable or replacement
Agreement Security for the period following the expiration or cancellation of such Agreement
Security previously provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such previous
Agreement Security expires or at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such
cancellation.
(b) If Airline shall commit an act of Default under this Article XV of this Agreement,
the Director of Port Control shall have the right by written notice to Airline given at any time
within ninety (90) days of such Default, to impose or reimpose the requirements of Section
15.04(a) above on Airline. In such event, Airline shall within fifteen (15) days from its receipt of
such written notice, provide the Director of Port Control with the required Agreement Security
and shall thereafter maintain such Agreement Security in effect until the expiration of a period of
eighteen (18) consecutive months during which Airline commits no act of Default under Article
XV of this Agreement. City shall have the right to reimpose the requirements of Section 15.04(a)
above on Airline each time Airline commits such Default during the term of this Agreement.
City’s rights under this Section 15.04 shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies
provided to City under this Agreement.
(c) If there exists no three (3) month history of rentals, fees and charges payable by
Airline or if during the eighteen (18) month security period Airline significantly increases the
number of Airline’s regularly scheduled passenger flights as determined by the Director of Port
Control, then the amount of the Agreement Security required under this Section 15.04 shall be
determined or increased by the Director of Port Control based upon the proposed or existing
regularly scheduled passenger flights by Airline and any rentals for use of space by Airline. In
- 83 -
such event, Airline shall within ten (10) days from its receipt of written notice of such amount,
provide the Director of Port Control with the required Agreement Security.
15.05 Additional Rights of City
In the event of a breach or default or threatened breach or default by Airline of any of the
covenants or provisions hereof, City shall have the right to injunction and the right to invoke any
remedy allowed at law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were
not herein provided for. Mention in this Agreement of any particular remedy shall not preclude
City from any other remedy, in law or in equity.
ARTICLE XVI ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
16.01 Assignment
Airline covenants that it will not assign, transfer, convey, sublet, sell, mortgage, pledge or
encumber the Agreement, the Leased Premises or in any part thereof, or any rights of Airline
hereunder or allow the use of the Leased Premises hereunder by any other person or entity,
except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, without in each instance having first obtained
written approval from the Board of Control of City; provided, however, that without such
consent Airline may assign its rights under the Agreement to any corporation with which Airline
may merge or consolidate or which may succeed to all or substantially all of the business of
Airline. Consent by the Board of Control to any type of transfer described in this paragraph or
elsewhere in the Agreement shall not in any way be construed to relieve Airline from obtaining
further authorization from the Board of Control for any subsequent transfer of any nature
whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Airline may transfer or sublet any part of the
Leased Premises to an Affiliate, or allow the use of the Leased Premises by an Affiliate, as
- 84 -
provided in Section 2.06 and without the prior written approval of the Board of Control of the
City.
If Airline assigns the Agreement without consent, as provided for above, then the
provisions of Section 15.04, Agreement Security, shall apply to the airline being assigned the
Agreement, regardless of the time that the airline being assigned the Agreement has served the
Airport.
16.02 Requests for Assignment
Any and all requests by Airline for authorization to make any transfer described in
Section 16.01 shall be made in writing by certified mail to the Director of Port Control and shall
include copies of the proposed documents of transfer.
16.03 Filing of Assignment
If and when the Board of Control of City authorizes any transfer as described in Section
16.01, the instrument or document of authorization together with the instrument or document of
transfer shall be filed with the Director of Port Control and attached to this Agreement. The
instruments and documents shall not be effective without the prior approval of the Director of
Law of City endorsed thereon. Airline shall remain primarily liable for the payment of rentals
hereunder and the performance of all terms, conditions, covenants and conditions hereof,
notwithstanding the authorization of any transfer, assignment, conveyance, subletting, sale,
mortgage, pledge or encumbrance hereunder by the Board of Control of City.
16.04 Application of Rent
If this Agreement be assigned or if the Leased Premises be sublet or occupied by any
party other than by Airline, or should any other transfer of interest or rights of any nature
prohibited by Section 16.01 occur without authorization of the Board of Control of City, City
- 85 -
may collect rent from any assignee, sublessee or transferee and in such event shall apply the net
amount collected to the rents payable by Airline hereunder, without such action by City being a
waiver of the covenant contained in Section 16.01 or constituting acceptance of such assignee,
sublessee, or transferee by City or releasing Airline from this Agreement or any of its obligations
hereunder.
ARTICLE XVII TERMINATION OF LEASE IN ENTIRETY
17.01 Events of Termination
City, in addition to any other rights to which it may be entitled by law, may declare this
Agreement terminated in its entirety, upon or after the happening of any one or more of the
following events, and, upon such declaration, City may exercise all of the rights and Airline shall
be subject to all the obligations more fully provided in Article XV hereof:
(a) The filing by Airline of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or for an arrangement
or any assignment for benefit of creditors of all or any part of Airline’s assets;
(b) The adjudication of Airline as a bankrupt pursuant to any involuntary bankruptcy
proceedings;
(c) The taking of jurisdiction by a court of competent jurisdiction of Airline or its
assets pursuant to proceedings brought under the provisions of any federal reorganization act;

competent jurisdiction or a voluntary agreement with Airline’s creditors.
17.02 Airline’s Right to Terminate
(a) After either the payment in full of the Airport Revenue Bonds or the aggregation
of moneys in the various funds referred to in Article IX sufficient to pay and redeem the
Revenue Bonds then outstanding, in full, with interest to the redemption date thereafter, together
- 86 -
with any applicable redemption premiums, and other charges and expenses, Airline may
terminate this Agreement, in whole or only insofar as it relates to any building, or any portion
thereof, and terminate all or any of its obligations hereunder at any time, by thirty days written
notice.
(b) Notwithstanding the above, at any time during the term of this Agreement Airline
at its option may declare this Agreement terminated in its entirety and all of Airline’s obligations
hereunder shall thereafter cease if by reason of any legislative action of the United States or any
action or non-action of any federal or other governmental agency having jurisdiction to grant a
certificate of convenience and necessity, or similar document, authorizing Airline to engage in
the transportation of persons, property and mail at the Airport, Airline shall cease to have such
authority at the Airport; provided, however, that such governmental action or non-action was not
requested by Airline, Airline made all reasonable efforts to prevent such governmental action or
non-action and such governmental action or non-action was not part of legislative action of the
United States affecting any other Scheduled Airline.
(c) Except for the aforesaid restrictions in Section 17.02(a), against termination of
this Agreement and except for Airline’s obligations to pay rentals, fees and charges under the
Agreement, Airline shall be entitled to make use of any remedy that might be available to it in
the event City shall fail to perform, keep and observe any of the terms, covenants or conditions
herein contained on the part of City to be performed, kept or observed provided that such terms,
covenants or conditions are within the power and ability of City to perform, keep or observe.
17.03 Renegotiation of the Lease
In the event that, based on data collected by the Airport from the Scheduled Airlines, the
connecting passengers as a percent of total passengers at the Airport falls below fifteen percent
- 87 -
(15%) for any consecutive three-month period during the term of the Agreement, the City and
Airline may begin discussions to renegotiate the terms of the Agreement. If such discussions are
begun, and mutually agreeable terms cannot be reached within one calendar year, then the
Agreement shall terminate.
ARTICLE XVIII DELIVERY OF POSSESSION
Airline agrees to yield and deliver to City possession of the Leased Premises at the
termination of this Agreement, by expiration or otherwise, or of any renewal or extension hereof,
in good condition in accordance with its express obligations hereunder, except for damage or
loss due to reasonable wear and tear or fire or other casualty.
ARTICLE XIX - HOLDING OVER
Prior to the expiration of the term of the Agreement, the City may agree, in its sole
discretion, to permit Airline to continue a tenancy at the Airport on a month to month basis. The
City or Airline may terminate that month to month tenancy upon thirty days’ prior written notice
to the other respective party. During any month to month tenancy, Airline shall pay to City the
same rates of rental and landing fees as were in effect at the expiration of the term of the
Agreement, as subsequently adjusted as provided in the Agreement, unless a different rental and
landing fees shall be agreed upon. Airline shall be bound by the provisions of the Agreement
during any month to month tenancy.
ARTICLE XX MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
20.01 No Personal Liability
No elected official, director, officer, agent or employee of either party shall be charged
personally or held contractually liable by or to the other party under any term or provision of this

Agreement or because of any breach thereof or because of its or their execution or attempted
execution.
20.02 Ramp Servicing
Airline may perform, while its aircraft are parked upon the Ramp Area, customary
fueling and servicing of aircraft preparatory to loading and takeoff or immediately following
landing and unloading. Airline shall not do or perform any major repair or maintenance work
upon its aircraft while parked upon the apron or at the gate position nor shall there be any storage
of aircraft upon the Ramp Area in a manner to restrict the loading or unloading of passengers at
such gate positions. As used here, “major” is defined to be work that normally requires more

assessment, upon receipt of such billing or assessment by City, City shall bill Airline for and
Airline shall pay to City its share of said larger area tax billing. Airline’s share shall be
determined by multiplying the amount of such larger area tax billing by a fraction the numerator
of which is the rent realized from the Leased Premises, and the denominator of which is the
income realized from all property comprising the tax billing, such determination to be made by
City after consultation with the parties involved in such billing.
