constructed substantially in accordance with the contract
documents and schematic drawings developed by Authority's
Architects and Engineers.
3.02 ADDITIONAL REVENUE BONDS AND SUBORDINATED INDEBTEDNESS. The
parties recognize that, if certain specified conditions
precedent are met, the Bond Resolution will permit the
issuance of Additional Revenue Bonds on a parity with the
Airport Revenue Bonds or the issuance of Subordinated

Page 27
31
Additional Project prior to financing the same with Additional
Revenue Bonds or Subordinated Indebtedness except for the
following purposes:
(i) for the increased requirements of any
Signatory Airline(s) provided such Signatory
Airline(s) agrees in writing to pay increased
fees and charges sufficient to cover the
payment of debt service on such Additional
Revenue Bonds or Subordinated Indebtedness
issued to finance any such expansion.
(ii) for the requirements of any airline(s)
serving the Airport on a scheduled basis,
pursuant to proper authority, provided such
airline(s) enters into a Lease and Use
Agreement substantially similar to this
Agreement in which it agrees to pay fees and
charges sufficient to cover the payment of
debt service on such Additional Revenue Bonds
or Subordinated Indebtedness issued to
finance such expansion, and an allocated
portion of costs to construct the public
areas of the Project including support
systems designed for all Airlines; and
further provided, however, that if such
airline(s) is assigned any Unassigned
Expansion Space for its exclusive use, then
Page 28
32
Authority shall charge such airline(s) fees
and charges that are at least sufficient to
pay its allocated portion of the costs of any
such Unassigned Expansion Space.
(iii) to finance projects for public safety when
directed by the FAA, National Transportation
Safety Board or similar governmental
authority having jurisdiction over the
Airport, Airline's operation, or the safety
aspect of the Airport's operations.
(iv) to repair casualty damage to Airport System
property, the cost of which exceeds the
proceeds of insurance, which property must be
rebuilt or replaced in order to satisfy an
Authority obligation in respect to the
property or maintain a source of revenue.
(v) after contracts have been awarded, the cost
of change orders initiated by one or more
Signatory Airline(s) or Authority as to
unassigned areas for its or their sole
benefit, which shall have the effect of
increasing the fees and charges payable by
Airline pursuant to Article VII hereunder
shall be borne by the Signatory Airline(s) or
Authority as the case may be initiating such
change orders.
Page 29
33
3.03 REFUNDING BONDS. The parties recognize that, if certain
specified conditions precedent are met, the Bond Resolution
will permit the issuance of refunding bonds on a parity with
the Airport Revenue Bonds and Additional Revenue Bonds, and
the issuance of Subordinated Indebtedness, to refund Prior
Xxxx Xxxxx, Airport Revenue Bonds, Additional Revenue Bonds or
Subordinated Indebtedness. It is hereby agreed that Authority
may issue such refunding bonds or Subordinated Indebtedness
with notice to, but without MII approval, provided that the
debt service on the refunding bonds or Subordinated
Indebtedness in any year is not greater than the debt service
which would have been due in such year on the bonds or
Subordinated Indebtedness to be refunded.
3.04 ALLOCATION OF CERTAIN COSTS. In the event that an airline(s)
serving the Airport on a scheduled basis, pursuant to proper
authority, not presently a Signatory Airline, desires to enter
into a Lease and Use Agreement substantially similar to this
Agreement, and can be accommodated in the Terminal without any
expansion thereof, then Authority agrees to charge such
airline(s) fees and charges that are at least sufficient to
pay its allocated portion of costs to construct the public
areas of the Terminal including
Page 30
34
support systems designed for all airlines, and an allocated
portion of the costs of any Unassigned Expansion Space
assigned to such airline(s) for its exclusive use.

during the term of this Agreement in the following manner:
Terminal and apron fees and charges shall be paid on the first
day of each month in advance; with respect to landing fees
Airline shall, within fifteen (15) days following the end of
each calendar month, provide to Authority a true report giving
all data necessary to calculate the amount of landing fees
prescribed herein. On the basis of the information contained
in such report, Authority shall invoice Airline for the
landing fees payable by Airline to Authority for such prior
calendar month, and Airline shall, within ten (10) days after
its receipt of such invoice, pay the invoiced amount to
Authority. The acceptance by Authority of any such payment
made by Airline shall not preclude Authority from verifying
the accuracy of Airline's report on which the landing fees are
based as provided in this Article, and Airline shall be
obligated to pay to Authority any underpayment within ten (10)
days after Authority's written demand.
7.01 TERMINAL FEES AND CHARGES.
A. Airline shall pay fees for Airline's Exclusively
Page 38
42
Assigned Premises and Joint Use Premises in the
Terminal at the rates and in the amounts calculated
in accordance with Exhibit "G" attached hereto, as
amended from time to time.

7.01(A), above, Airline shall pay its proportionate
share of charges for the use of Non-Exclusively
Assigned Premises as set forth under Section 2.03(B)
hereof at rates set forth in Exhibit "G," as amended
from time to time pursuant to the following formula:
The total square feet of the Non-Exclusively Assigned
Premises, shown on Exhibit "C," shall be multiplied
by the appropriate annual square foot rate set forth
in Exhibit "G." Twenty percent (20%) of this total
amount is to be divided equally among all Signatory
Airlines. The eighty percent (80%) balance is to be
prorated among the Signatory Airlines based on the
ratio of each such Airline's enplaned passengers
semiannually at Airport to the total of all
passengers enplaned semiannually at Airport by all
Signatory Airlines. On October 1 and April 1 of each
year, or as soon thereafter as possible, a
reallocation shall be made based upon the total
number of enplaned passengers for the preceding
six-month period.
Page 39
43
C. The fees and charges with regard to Article VII,
Sections 7.01(A) and (B) above, will be subject to at
least annual readjustment in accordance with Article
VIII and Exhibit "G" and will be an automatic
function of such readjustment without the necessity
of formal amendment of this Agreement, and such
readjustments shall be prepared by Authority and
distributed to Airline by mail and thereby shall

increase in the use of electrical equipment.
7.04 LANDING FEES.
A. (1) From and after the Effective Date of this
Agreement, fees and charges for use of the Premises,
facilities, rights, licenses and
Page 40
44
privileges granted to Airline under this Agreement,
except those for which fees and charges are
specifically provided in Sections 7.01 and 7.02 of
this Article VII, shall be combined in and
represented by a landing fee or fees, which shall be
at least annually calculated and determined as a
function of the readjustment in accordance with
Article VIII hereof and will appear annually on
Exhibit "G." Said fee or fees will be expressed in
cents per thousand pounds of the approved maximum
gross landing weight of each type of Airline's
aircraft and shall be multiplied by the number of
Revenue Landings by each type of said aircraft at the
Airport.
(2) If Airline shall fail, within fifteen (15) days
following the end of a calendar month, to provide
Authority with the report containing all the data
required by the first paragraph of this Article VII,
then Authority shall invoice Airline for estimated
landing fees for the prior calendar month in an
amount equal to the monthly landing fee that would be
payable under this Agreement if Airline's landings at
the Airport were those shown in Airline's published
schedule of aircraft service to the Airport for the
prior calendar month. Airline shall, within ten (10)
days after
Page 41
45
its receipt of such invoice, pay the invoiced amount
to Authority. The acceptance of such estimated
landing fee payments by Authority shall be without
prejudice to any of Authority's or Airline's rights
under Section 11.01(B) below. Any underpayment of
landing fees shall be paid with the landing fee
report provided by Airline to Authority covering the
period for which estimated landing fee payments have
been made, together with interest thereon from the
date the estimated landing fees became payable at the
rate provided for in Section 7.08 below, and any
overpayment of landing fees shown in such report
shall be credited against the landing fees next
coming due from Airline after issuance of a credit
memorandum by Authority.
B. As a consideration for Airline's commitments
hereunder, Authority agrees to directly or indirectly
levy appropriate and equitable user fees and charges
on all users of the Airport landing area.
7.05 TENANT FINISH/SPACE SURCHARGE. Airline shall pay an annual
Tenant Finish Surcharge calculated in accordance with Exhibits
"E-2" and "E-3", based on Airline's Net Tenant Finish Project
Cost. Airline shall also pay an
Page 42
46
annual Space Surcharge calculated in accordance with Exhibits
"E-2" and "E-3" to reflect the Authority's tenant finish cost
in finishing and furnishing Airline's Exclusively Assigned
Premises. Airline's Tenant Finish Surcharge and Space
Surcharge as of the Effective Date is shown on Exhibit "E-3",
and shall be re-calculated at least annually, adjusted if
necessary, and will appear annually on Exhibit "G."

a daily basis, carried by Airline during the preceding month
and the number of Revenue Landings by Airline by type of
aircraft.
7.07 NOTICES OF UNPAID RENT, FEES OR CHARGES. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, invoices or other
written notices for unpaid rent, fees or charges payable by
Airline under this Agreement which are hand delivered to
Airline's station manager or assistant or acting station
manager at the Airport shall constitute receipt by Airline of
written notice of non-payment from Authority, provided that
Page 43
47
duplicate written notice is sent by overnight delivery service
to the address set forth for Notices to Airline pursuant to
Paragraph 18.02.
7.08 INTEREST ON DELINQUENT AMOUNTS. Without waiving any other
right available to Authority in the Event of Default in
Airline's payment of rents, fees or charges under this
Agreement, in the event that Airline is delinquent in paying
Authority any such rents, fees or charges, and if Airline
fails to pay such amounts within ten (10) business days after
Authority's written demand, Airline shall pay Authority
interest thereon, from the date such rents, fees or charges
became payable to the date of payment, at the maximum interest
rate then provided by applicable law; provided, however, that
if no maximum interest rate is then provided by applicable
law, the interest rate shall be eighteen percent (18%) per
annum. Such interest shall not accrue with respect to disputed
items being contested in good faith by Airline.
7.09 CONTRACT 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
Page 44
48
act or omission that would have been an Event of
Default under Section 11.01(A) of this Agreement if
this Agreement had been in effect during this period,
Airline shall provide Authority 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 Authority ("Contract Security") in an
amount equal to three (3) months' fees and charges
payable by Airline under Sections 7.01(A) and (B),
7.02 and 7.04 of this Agreement and any Tenant
Finish Surcharge or Space Surcharge payable under
this Agreement during such three-month period, to
guarantee the faithful performance by Airline of its
obligations under this Agreement and the payment of
all fees and charges due hereunder. Airline shall be
obligated to maintain such Contract 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 to Airline during which
Airline provided regularly scheduled passenger
flights to and from the Airport) during which Airline
commits no Event of Default under Section 11.01(A) of
this Agreement (and for any
Page 45
49
such prior period, no act or omission that would have
been such an Event of Default hereunder). Such
Contract Security shall be in such form and with such
company licensed to do business in the State of
Florida as shall be acceptable to Authority in its
reasonable discretion. In the event that any such
Contract Security shall be for a period of less than
the full period required by this Agreement, or if
such Contract Security may be canceled, Airline shall
provide a renewal or replacement Contract Security
for the period following the expiration or
cancellation of such Contract Security previously
provided at least sixty (60) days prior to the date
on which such previous Contract Security expires or
at least sixty (60) days prior to the effective date
of such cancellation.
(B) If Airline shall commit an Event of Default under
Section 11.01(A) of this Agreement, Authority shall
have the right, by written notice to Airline given at
any time within ninety (90) days of such Event of
Default, to impose or reimpose the requirements of
Section 7.09(A) above on Airline. In such event,
Airline shall within ten (10) days from its receipt
of such written notice, provide Authority with the
required Contract Security and
Page 46
50
shall thereafter maintain such Contract Security in
effect until the expiration of a period of eighteen
(18) consecutive months during which Airline commits
no Event of Default under Section 11.01(A) of this
Agreement. Authority shall have the right to reimpose
the requirements of Section 7.09(A) above on Airline
each time Airline commits such an Event of Default
during the term of this Agreement. Authority's
rights under this paragraph shall be in addition to
all other rights and remedies provided to Authority
under this Agreement.
ARTICLE VIII - READJUSTMENT OF FEES AND CHARGES
8.01 It is agreed that Authority will compute the fees and charges
payable by Airline under this Agreement using the cash basis
of revenue accounting. Fees and charges will be reviewed at
least annually and adjusted as necessary through negotiation,
effective September 1, for fees and charges provided for in
Sections 7.01 and 7.05 of this Agreement, and effective August
1, for the fees and charges provided for in Section 7.04 of
this Agreement. Fees and charges will be calculated so that
for each Fiscal Year, Revenues less:
(i) Operation and Maintenance Expenses; and
Page 47
51
(ii) all amounts required to be paid or deposited
for such Fiscal Year by the terms of any financing
documents relating to any Subordinated Indebtedness
incurred pursuant to Section 3.02 or 3.03; and
(iii) all payments the Authority is required to
make in such Fiscal Year to any third party under any
Swap Agreement entered into by the Authority with the
approval of a Majority In Interest of Airlines; and
(iv) required deposits from Revenues into:
(a) the Airport System Renewal and
Replacement Fund established under
the Trust Agreements,
(b) Operating Reserve Account in the
Airport System Revenue Fund
established under the Trust
Agreements,
(c) the Operation and Maintenance
Reserve Account in the Airport
Facilities Operation and Maintenance
Fund established under the Bond
Resolution,
(d) the Airport Facilities Capital
Expenditures Fund established under
the Bond Resolution, and
(e) the Airport Facilities Renewal and
Replacement Fund established under
the
Page 48
52
Bond Resolution,
shall at least equal Airport Debt Service; provided, however,
that if Authority with the approval of a Majority In Interest
of Airlines, enters into a Swap Agreement with respect to
Airport Revenue Bonds or Additional Revenue Bonds, and if .25
times the Qualified Swap Payments for such Fiscal Year exceeds
.25 times Debt Service (as defined in the Bond Resolution) on
the Airport Revenue Bonds or Additional Revenue Bonds to which
the Swap Agreement relates for such Fiscal Year, then Airport
Debt Service under this Section 8.01 shall be increased by
such excess amount; and further provided, however, that if
Authority with the approval of a Majority In Interest of
Airlines, enters into a Swap Agreement with respect to
Subordinated Indebtedness, then Airport Debt Service under
this Section 8.01 shall be increased by .25 times the
Qualified Swap Payments the Authority is required to make to
the third party under the Swap Agreement for such Fiscal Year.
8.02 A. For purposes of accomplishing the aforesaid annual
adjustment, Authority shall by June 1st prior to the
end of each Fiscal Year, submit to Airline the
quarterly financial data (unaudited) called for in
Section 8.05(A), for the first two quarters of the
said current Fiscal Year, together with the
Page 49
53
following:
1. Authority's estimates of Revenues and
Operation and Maintenance Expenses for the
last two quarters of said current Fiscal
Year;
2. Estimates of any surplus or deficit in its
Annual Budget for the current Fiscal Year;
3. Actual audited financial statements with this
Agreement for the preceding Fiscal Year;
4. Authority's estimates of Revenues and
Operation and Maintenance Expenses for the
next ensuing Fiscal Year, in substantial
accordance with the format as shown on
attached Exhibit "G" setting forth the basis
for changes from the current year, if any.
Authority shall also furnish Airline a
breakdown of its personnel staffing proposal
for the next ensuing Fiscal Year in the
format of Exhibit "J," and the justification
for any proposed changes.
5. Proposed Annual Budget
B. The estimates of Revenues and Operation and
Maintenance Expenses for the next ensuing Fiscal Year
shall be based upon the historical experience and the
then current Annual Budget of Authority and shall be
supported by Authority's proposed
Page 50
54
Annual Budget for the ensuing Fiscal Year. Authority
and Airline shall meet between June 1st and July 1st
of each Fiscal Year for the purpose of reviewing the
information submitted to Airline. In such review,
Authority will give fair and prudent consideration to
suggestions, comments or requests by Airline with
respect to additions, deletions or modifications and
with respect to the amount, character and
desirability of any line items contained therein, and
negotiate the new fees and charges for the ensuing
Fiscal Year for the purpose of reaching agreement.
C. Before the beginning of each Fiscal Year, Authority
shall adopt its Annual Budget substantially in
accordance with the information submitted to Airline
for purposes of recalculation of fees and charges
referred to above, as the latter may have been
revised as a result of negotiations with Airlines and
any subsequent mediation or hearings.
D. Once the Annual Budget is adopted by Authority, the
total budgeted amount will not be exceeded without
the written approval of MII unless said increase is
due to (i) circumstances beyond the control of
Authority or (ii) is the result of maintenance or
repair of an emergency nature that
Page 51
55
would have the effect of closing the Airport to
scheduled flight operations or to the public for a
period of forty-eight (48) hours, or (iii) is the
result of increases in the interest rate payable by
the Authority on Airport Revenue Bonds, Additional
Revenue Bonds or Subordinated Indebtedness that bear
a variable interest rate, causing the interest
thereon to exceed the amount budgeted therefor, or
(iv) is the result of increases in the payments the
Authority is required to make to a third party under
a Swap Agreement entered into by the Authority with
the approval of a Majority In Interest of Airlines,
causing such payments to exceed the amount budgeted
therefor, in any of which cases such approval shall
not be required.
E. If adjustment of fees and charges is not completed on
or prior to the end of the Fiscal Year, the fees and
charges then in existence shall continue to be paid
by Airline until adjustment is concluded; provided,
however, that during any such period when Authority
is required to expend twenty-five percent (25%) or
more of the funds which should properly be on deposit
in the Operating Reserve Account held in the Airport
System Revenue Fund established under the Trust
Page 52
56
Agreements or the Operation and Maintenance Reserve
Account held in the Airport Facilities Operation and
Maintenance Fund established under the Bond
Resolution, if Authority elects, the amount so
expended shall become a surcharge applied to the
landing fees for the month in which such expenditures
are made from said Account and to be paid therewith
provided that Airline shall be credited with the
amount of any such surcharge paid by it and said
credit shall be applied to Airline's adjusted landing
fees in the first month after the adjustment is
implemented but only to the extent that such credit
will not create a deficiency in the amount of
Revenues to be received by Authority under the Bond
Resolution.
8.03 The following factors shall be used in determining the
adjustments of fees and charges pursuant hereto:
A. Airport Debt Service for the next ensuing Fiscal Year
and any deficiencies in the Reserve Account held in
the Airport System Sinking Fund established under the
Trust Agreements or the Debt Service Reserve Account
held in the Airport Facilities Bond Fund established
under the Bond Resolution.
B. Operation and Maintenance Expenses estimated by
Authority for the next ensuing Fiscal Year.
Page 53
57
C. Required payments into the Airport System Renewal and
Replacement Fund and Operating Reserve Account in the
Airport System Revenue Fund established under the
Trust Agreements and the Operation and Maintenance
Reserve Account held in the Airport Facilities
Operation and Maintenance Fund, the Airport
Facilities Capital Expenditures Fund and the Airport
Facilities Renewal and Replacement Fund established
under the Bond Resolution for the next ensuing Fiscal
Year.
D. All amounts required to be paid or deposited for the
next ensuing Fiscal Year by the terms of any
financing documents relating to any Subordinated
Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Sections 3.02 or
3.03 above.
E. Revenues estimated by Authority for the next ensuing
Fiscal Year.
F. All amounts required to be paid to any third party
for the next ensuing Fiscal Year under any Swap
Agreement entered into by the Authority with the
approval of a Majority In Interest of Airlines, plus
.25 times such amount to the extent provided for in
Section 8.01 above.
After adjustments to fees and charges have been made for a
particular Fiscal Year with consideration to the above
factors, fees and charges payable by Signatory
Page 54
58
Airlines in such Fiscal Year shall be reduced by the amount
deposited into the Airport System Revenue Fund established
under the Trust Agreements or the Airport Facilities Revenue
Fund established under the Bond Resolution in such Fiscal Year
from amounts accumulated in the Prepaid Airline Fees and

account and allocating revenues and expenses it will
observe sound, generally accepted accounting
principles, with variations approved by both parties,
consistently applied and including only those costs
in the system of accounts directly attributable to
the Airport System, on the basis of sound business

B. Authority further covenants that it:
1. shall operate the Airport System in a manner
so as to produce revenues from
concessionaires, tenants and other users of
Airport System of a nature and amount which
would be produced by a reasonably prudent
operator of an Airport System of
substantially similar size, use and activity,
consistent with sound management principles
which will protect Authority's financial
integrity;
2. shall, to the extent economically feasible,
establish non-discriminatory rates, fees and
charges at each airport operated by Authority
as part of its Airport System in order to
recover all costs properly allocable to each
of said airports;
3. shall use all Revenues, exclusively for the
construction, maintenance, operation,
development and management of the Airport
System pursuant to its enabling legislation;
4. shall not, in computing cost, charge interest
on advances or loans made from Authority
resources other than borrowing, to the
Airport System for purposes of improving the
Airport System at rates greater than those
Page 56
60
paid by Authority on bond issues or other
loans for Airport System purposes;
5. shall not include amortization, depreciation
or interest charges for those portions of
costs of facilities or improvements paid for
by federal or state grants-in-aid or other
grants from public agencies or ad valorem
taxes, unless such grants require repayment
to Federal or State Government;
6. shall not include the cost of any service
provided by any governmental agency unless
the service and cost are justified and a
direct charge is paid by Authority;
7. shall not include a return on its investment
in land as an expense in the airline rate
base;
8. shall not include amortization, depreciation
or interest charges for those portions of
costs of facilities or improvements

determined otherwise by a MII; and
9. (i) prior to the Retirement Date of Prior
Page 57
61
Xxxx Xxxxx, shall not acquire or
construct any additional airport or
aviation facility without MII
approval unless such Airport or
aviation facility is an addition,
extension or improvement to Orlando
Executive Airport (formerly Xxxxxxx
Airport), and
(ii) after the Retirement Date of Prior
Xxxx Xxxxx, shall not acquire or
construct any additional airport or
aviation facility with the proceeds
of bonds issued under the Bond
Resolution or from revenues
generated by the Airport System
without MII approval.
8.05 A. For the purpose of keeping Airline informed as to the
revenues and expenses of Authority's Airport System,
Authority shall furnish quarterly statements to
Airline; and, for use in adjustment of charges as
herein provided, Authority shall provide Airline
annually with a statement of actual revenues and
expenses showing reasonable detail as to basis for
allocation and the distribution of revenues and
expenses therefor. The basic format of said
statements is to be substantially as shown on
attached Exhibit "G."
B. Promptly following the beginning of each Fiscal
Page 58
62
Year, Authority shall furnish to each Signatory
Airline a copy of Airport System's Annual Budget for
such Fiscal Year.
C. In order to make informed suggestions, if any, for
additions, deletions or modifications to line items

the proceeds of each series of Airport
Revenue Bonds, shall deposit in said Debt
Service Reserve Account the amount, if any,
necessary so that such Account shall equal
the Debt Service Reserve Requirement
calculated immediately after authentication
and delivery of such series of Airport
Revenue Bonds.
3. To the Airport Facilities Capital
Expenditures Fund, to be held by Authority,
an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) (or
such greater fraction if the period is less
than 12 months as may be appropriate) of the
money
Page 65
69
appropriated for said Capital Expenditures
Fund as set forth in the then current Annual
Budget, provided that, if any such monthly
allocation to said Capital Expenditures Fund
shall be less than the required amount, the
amount of the next succeeding monthly payment
shall be increased by the amount of such
deficiency. Amounts on deposit in said
Capital Expenditures Fund may be used to
purchase items of equipment or other capital
items for use in connection with the Airport
System. Prior written approval of a MII
shall be obtained for an expenditure
exceeding $20,000 for any single item or
expenditures for all items exceeding an
aggregate of $200,000 in any Fiscal Year.
Each succeeding Annual Budget commencing with
the Annual Budget for the Fiscal Year that
commences on October 1, 1979, shall specify
the amount, if any, of the increase or
decrease in the $20,000 and $200,000
requirements of such Fund, which changes
shall be in direct proportion to changes in

hereof, plus all amounts required to pay in a
timely manner all payments the Authority is
required to make to any third party under any
Swap Agreement entered into by the Authority
with the approval of a Majority In Interest
of Airlines, or such lesser amount which will
not cause the amount on deposit in such
Discretionary Fund to exceed the
Discretionary Fund Maximum Balance, provided
that, if any such monthly allocation to said
Discretionary Fund shall be less than the
required amount, the amount of the next
succeeding monthly payment shall be increased
by the amount of such deficiency to the
extent that the amount on deposit in such
Discretionary Fund shall not exceed the
Discretionary Fund Maximum Balance. The
Page 67
71
amount of the monthly deposit to the
Discretionary Fund may be adjusted from time
to time by agreement between Authority and
MII. Expenditures from said Fund may be made
by Authority at its sole discretion for any
legal purpose of Authority in connection with
the Airport System; provided, however, that
Authority shall provide Airline with an
annual detailed report of such expenditures.
5. At the end of each Fiscal Year, after all
deposits required to be made into each of the
aforesaid Funds have been made, the Special
Trustee shall transfer from the remaining
monies on deposit in such Revenue Fund a sum
equal to the estimated amount of monies which
are not required to make up deficiencies in
any of the aforesaid Funds, as follows:
(i) an amount equal to 50% of such
remaining monies shall be deposited
in the Airport Facilities
Improvement and Development Fund,
and
(ii) an amount equal to 50% of such
remaining monies shall be deposited
in the Airport Facilities Prepaid
Airlines Fees and Charges Fund.
When it has been determined by audit what
Page 68
72
actual amounts were on deposit in the Airport
Facilities Revenue Fund at the end of a
Fiscal Year which were not required to make
up deficiencies as aforesaid, an adjustment
shall be made, as follows:
(1) If such amounts were overestimated,
there shall be deposited into such
Revenue Fund from each of the
Airport Facilities Improvement and
Development Fund and the Airport
Facilities Prepaid Airlines Fees and
Charges Fund, respectively, fifty
percent (50%) of the overestimated
amount. To the extent there shall
not be sufficient monies on deposit
in the Airport Facilities Prepaid
Airlines Fees and Charges Fund to
make the required deposit into such
Revenue Fund, each Signatory Airline
shall, as soon as possible, pay to
Authority for deposit in such
Airlines Fees and Charges Fund the
amount of such deficiency which is
in proportion to the amount that the
landing fees paid by such Signatory
Airline in the Fiscal Year just
concluded bears to the total amount
of landing fees paid by all
Page 69
73
Signatory Airlines in such concluded
Fiscal Year.
(2) If such amounts were underestimated,
there shall be deposited from the
Airport Facilities Revenue Fund into
each of the Airport Facilities
Improvement and Development Fund and
the Airport Facilities Prepaid
Airlines Fees and Charges Fund,
respectively, fifty percent (50%) of
the underestimated amount.
(a) Amounts on deposit in the Airport Facilities
Improvement and Development Fund in each Fiscal Year
shall be used to pay costs of such Fiscal Year's
Airport Improvement and Development Plan to the
extent approved by MII:
(i) Prior to June 1 of each year, Authority shall
submit to Airline in detail its recommended
Airport Improvement and Development Plan for
the succeeding Fiscal Year for Airline review
and consideration. Airline shall notify
Authority in writing within forty-five (45)
days after receipt of a written request from
Authority whether such improvements or
additions are approved in whole or in part.
Failure of Airline to reply within forty-five
Page 70
74
(45) days shall constitute approval by
Airline. Authority's proposal, to the extent
approved or modified by MII, shall be the
Airport Improvement and Development Plan for
the succeeding Fiscal Year funded as provided
hereunder, and Authority shall proceed to
purchase, construct or otherwise complete
such plan. To the extent that the balance in
the fund, in the opinion of Authority and
MII, exceeds the amounts reasonably necessary
to fund the requirements of (i) above, the
amounts on deposit in said Improvement and
Development Fund may be used to purchase or
redeem any Airport Revenue Bonds, Additional
Revenue Bonds or Subordinated Indebtedness,
including the expenses in connection with
such purchase or redemption; provided,
however, if at any time the unencumbered
balance in the fund exceeds the amounts
reasonably necessary to fund Authority's
share of the projects in the Airport
Improvement and Development Plan, to be
funded from the Airport Improvement and
Development Fund, such amount to be net of
costs to be funded by the issuance of notes
or other debt obligations, grants-in-aid, or
Page 71
75
from Authority's Discretionary Fund or the
Airport Facilities Capital Expenditure Fund,
the excess amounts on deposit in said
Improvement and Development Fund shall be
used to purchase or redeem any Airport
Revenue Bonds, Additional Revenue Bonds or
Subordinated Indebtedness, including the
expenses in connection with such purchase or
redemption; and further provided, however,
that beginning with the end of the Fiscal
Year that commenced as of October 1, 1990,
the Authority will use the unencumbered
balance remaining in said Improvement and
Development Fund to purchase or redeem
Airport Revenue Bonds or Additional Revenue
Bonds and to pay the expenses associated
therewith unless the Authority and an MII
agree, pursuant to this Agreement, to use
these funds for another permitted purpose.
(ii) If a proposed improvement or addition is not
approved by MII, Authority may abandon it or
fund the improvement or addition from any
other source legally available to Authority,
including the Airport Facilities
Discretionary Fund, but may not include the
costs thereof or associated therewith as an
Page 72
76
Operation and Maintenance Expense when
calculating landing fees pursuant to Article
VIII.
Any amounts remaining on deposit in the Prepaid
Airlines Fees and Charges Fund at the end of each
Fiscal Year shall be transferred by Authority to the
Prior Lien Trustee for deposit in the Airport System
Revenue Fund established under the Trust Agreements,
in equal amounts in each of the first three (3)
months of the next succeeding Fiscal Year, to be
disbursed and applied as Revenues. Airline's fees and
charges for the first three (3) months of such next
succeeding Fiscal Year shall be credited with that
portion of the amount so deposited in the Airport
System Revenue Fund in such month which is in
proportion to the amount that the landing fees paid
by Airline in the Fiscal Year just concluded bears to
the total amount of landing fees paid by all
Signatory Airlines in such concluded Fiscal Year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by the terms of the
Bond Resolution, the monies in the Airport Facilities Capital
Expenditures Fund, the Airport Facilities Discretionary Fund
and the Airport Facilities Improvement and Development Fund
may be used, to the extent necessary, to pay principal of and
Page 73
77
interest on Airport Revenue Bonds and Additional Revenue Bonds
and to pay Operation and Maintenance Expenses.
9.02 AFTER RETIREMENT DATE OF PRIOR XXXX XXXXX - On and after the
Retirement Date of Prior Xxxx Xxxxx, all Revenues shall be
promptly deposited by Authority into the Airport Facilities
Revenue Fund created under the Bond Resolution. As soon as
practicable in each month after the deposit of Revenues in
said Airport Facilities Revenue Fund, but in any case no later
than five (5) business days before the end of such month, the
Special Trustee shall withdraw from the Airport Facilities
Revenue Fund and deposit into the following Funds and Accounts
established under the Bond Resolution, in the following order
of priority, the amounts set forth below:
1. To the Airport Facilities Operation and Maintenance
Fund, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) (or such

as may be appropriate) of the money appropriated for
Operation and Maintenance Expenses for the then
current Fiscal Year as set forth in the then current
Annual Budget.
2. To the Airport Facilities Bond Fund for credit to the
Debt Service Account therein, if and to the
Page 74
78
extent required so that the balance in said Debt
Service Account shall equal the Accrued Aggregate

computing the amount in said Debt Service Account,
there shall be excluded the amount, if any, set aside
in said Debt Service Account which was deposited
therein from the proceeds of each series of Airport
Revenue Bonds and Additional Revenue Bonds less the
amount of interest accrued and unpaid and to accrue
on the said Bonds of such series (or any Bonds issued
to refund such Bonds), excluding Capital Appreciation
Bonds, to the last day of the then current calendar
month.
3. To the Airport Facilities Bond Fund for credit to the
Debt Service Reserve Account therein, an amount, if
and to the extent necessary, so that the balance in
said Debt Service Reserve Account shall equal the
Debt Service Reserve Requirement.

Fund, for credit to the Operation and Maintenance
Reserve Account therein one-twelfth (1/12) (or such
greater fraction if the period is less than 12 months
as may be appropriate) of the amount which is equal

Account at the beginning of the then Fiscal Year and
1/6 of the
Page 75
79
Operation and Maintenance Expenses as set forth in
the then current Annual Budget.
5. To the Airport Facilities Capital Expenditures Fund,
an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) (or such
greater fraction if the period is less than 12 months
as may be appropriate) of the money appropriated for
said Capital Expenditures Fund as set forth in the
then current Annual Budget, provided that, if any
such monthly allocation to said Capital Expenditures
Fund shall be less than the required amount, the
amount of the next succeeding monthly payments shall
be increased by the amount of such deficiency. The
amounts held in such Fund and the replacing of
withdrawals therefrom shall be governed by the
provisions of Section 9.01(B)(3).
6. To the Airport Facilities Renewal and Replacement
Fund, to be held by Authority, an amount equal to
one-twelfth (1/12) (or such greater fraction if the
period is less than 12 months as may be appropriate)
of the money appropriated for said Renewal and
Replacement Fund as set forth in the then current
Annual Budget, provided that, if any such monthly
allocation to said Renewal and Replacement Fund shall
be less than the required amount, the amount of the
next succeeding monthly
Page 76
80
payments shall be increased by the amount of such
deficiency. No further deposits into the Airport
Facilities Renewal and Replacement Fund shall be
required whenever and as long as uncommitted monies
in said Renewal and Replacement Fund are equal to or
greater than $3,000,000 or such larger amount as the
Airport Consultant shall certify is necessary for
purposes of such Renewal and Replacement Fund. Each
Annual Budget shall provide for depositing into the
said Renewal and Replacement Fund the amount
necessary to maintain the level of said Fund at
$3,000,000 or such larger amount as the Airport
Consultant shall certify is necessary for purposes of
such Renewal and Replacement Fund. The purpose of
the Airport Facilities Renewal and Replacement Fund
is for the payment of unanticipated or emergency
replacements and repairs to Airport System.
7. To the Airport Facilities Discretionary Fund, in each
month of the Fiscal Year, the amount of $83,333.33,
plus all amounts required to be deposited into the
Discretionary Fund in such month by the terms of any
financing documents relating to any obligation
incurred by Authority pursuant to the provisions of
Section 3.02 or 3.03 hereof, plus all amounts
required to pay in a
Page 77
81
timely manner all payments the Authority is required
to make to any third party under any Swap Agreement
entered into by the Authority with the approval of a
Majority In Interest of Airlines, or such lesser
amount which will not cause the amount on deposit in
said Discretionary Fund to exceed the Discretionary
Fund Maximum Balance, provided that, if any such
monthly allocation to said Discretionary Fund shall
be less than the required amount, the amount of the
next succeeding monthly payment shall be increased by
the amount of such deficiency to the extent that the
amount on deposit in said Discretionary Fund shall
not exceed the Discretionary Fund Maximum Balance.
The amount of the monthly deposit to the
Discretionary Fund may be adjusted from time to time
by agreement between Authority and MII. Expenditures
from said Fund may be made by Authority at its sole
discretion for any legal purpose of Authority in
connection with the Airport System; provided,
however, that Authority shall provide Airline with an
annual detailed report of such expenditures.
8. At the end of each Fiscal Year, after all deposits
required to be made into each of the aforesaid Funds
have been made, the Special Trustee shall
Page 78
82
transfer from the remaining monies on deposit in the
Airport Facilities Revenue Fund a sum equal to the

remaining monies shall be deposited in the Airport
Facilities Improvement and Development Fund, and (ii)
an amount equal to 50% of such remaining monies shall
be deposited in the Airport Facilities Prepaid
Airlines Fees and Charges Fund.
When it has been determined by audit what actual
amounts were on deposit in the Airport Facilities
Revenue Fund at the end of a Fiscal Year which were
not required to make up deficiencies as aforesaid, an
adjustment shall be made, as follows:
(1) If such amounts were overestimated, there
shall be deposited into such Revenue Fund
from each of the Airport Facilities
Improvement and Development Fund and the
Airport Facilities Prepaid Airlines Fees and
Charges Fund, respectively, fifty percent
(50%) of the overestimated amount. To the
extent there shall not be sufficient monies
on deposit in the Airport Facilities Prepaid
Page 79
83
Airlines Fees and Charges Fund to make the
required deposit into such Revenue Fund, each
Signatory Airline shall, as soon as possible,
pay to Authority for deposit in such Prepaid
Airlines Fees and Charges Fund the amount of
such deficiency which is in proportion to the
amount that the landing fees paid by such
Signatory Airline in the Fiscal Year just
concluded bears to the total amount of
landing fees paid by all Signatory Airlines
in such concluded Fiscal Year.
(2) If such amounts were underestimated, there
shall be deposited from the Airport
Facilities Revenue Fund into each of the
Airport Facilities Improvement and
Development Fund and the Airport Facilities
Prepaid Airlines Fees and Charges Fund,
respectively, fifty percent (50%) of the

84
the Trustee for deposit in the Airport Facilities
Revenue Fund established under the Bond Resolution,
in equal amounts in each of the first three (3)

appropriate ground rental shall be charged. In all
cases, the tenants or users of such project shall be
required to pay directly or reimburse Authority for
all costs (direct or indirect) associated with such
project.

11.02 REMEDIES FOR AIRLINE'S DEFAULT.
A. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by
Airline, Authority, besides any other rights or
remedies it may have, shall have the immediate right
of reentry and may remove all Airline persons and
property from the Airline's Exclusively Assigned
Premises and Joint Use Premises as defined in Article
II; such property
Page 85
89
may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of
Airline. Should Authority elect to reenter, as
herein provided, or should it take possession
pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any
notice provided for by law, it may either terminate
this Agreement or relet the Airline's Exclusively
Assigned Premises and Joint Use Premises and any
improvements thereon or any part thereof for such
term or terms (which may be for a term extending
beyond the term of this Agreement) and at such fees
and charges and upon such other terms and conditions
as Authority in its sole discretion may deem
advisable, with the right to make alterations and
repairs to improvements on said Exclusively Assigned
Premises and [with the consent of the other Joint
User(s)] Joint Use Premises; provided, however, that
Authority shall be obligated to make a good faith
effort to obtain terms and conditions no less
favorable to itself than those contained herein and
otherwise seek to mitigate any damages it may suffer
as a result of Airline's default.
B. Upon such occurrence as set forth in subsection
11.02(A) above,
1. Airline shall be immediately liable to pay to
Page 86
90
Authority, in addition to any indebtedness
other than fees and charges due hereunder,
the cost and expenses of such use by someone
else, and the amount, if any, by which the
fees and charges provided for in this
Agreement for the period of such reuse by
someone else (up to but not beyond the
Agreement term) exceeds the amount agreed to
be paid in fees and charges for Airline's
Exclusively Assigned Premises and Joint Use
Premises for the period of such reuse by
someone else, or
2. At the option of Authority, fees and charges
received by Authority from such reuse by
someone else shall be credited, first to the
payment of any indebtedness, other than fees
and charges due hereunder from Airline to
Authority; second, to the payment of fees and
charges due and unpaid hereunder; and the
residue, if any, shall be held by Authority
and applied in payment of future fees and
charges as the same may become due and
payable hereunder.
C. If Airline has been credited with any fees and
charges to be received under such reuse by someone
else pursuant to the foregoing option, and such
Page 87
91
fees and charges shall not be promptly paid to
Authority by new tenant, or if such fees and charges
received from such reuse by someone else under the
foregoing option, during any month be less than the
fees and charges to be paid during that month by
Airline for its Exclusively Assigned Premises and
Joint Use Premises hereunder, Airline shall pay any
such deficiency to Authority. Such deficiency shall
be calculated and paid monthly.
D. No such reentry or taking possession of the
Exclusively Assigned Premises and Joint Use Premises,
and any improvements thereon by Authority shall be
construed as an election on its part to terminate
this Agreement unless a written notice of such
intention be given to Airline.
E. Notwithstanding any such reuse by someone else
without termination, Authority may, at any time
thereafter, elect to terminate this Agreement for any
additional Event of Default by Airline, in addition
to any other remedy it may have, and in such event,
Authority may recover from Airline all damages to
which it may be legally entitled by reason of such
Event of Default by Airline, including the cost of
recovering the Exclusively Assigned Premises and the
Joint Use Premises, and Authority may recover at the
time of such termina-
Page 88
92
tion any deficit in the amount of fees and charges
due under this Agreement up to the date of
termination.
11.03 CURATIVE PROVISIONS.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
contained, if a dispute shall arise between Authority and
Airline with respect to any obligation or alleged obligation
of Airline to pay money, the payment under protest by Airline
of the amount claimed by Authority to be due shall not waive
any of Airline's rights, and if any court or other body having
jurisdiction shall determine that all or any part of the
protested payment was not due, then Authority shall as
promptly as reasonably practicable reimburse Airline any
amount determined as not due.
11.04 HOLDING OVER. Should Airline hold over in the Exclusively
Assigned Premises or the Joint Use Premises after this
Agreement has terminated in any manner, during such holding
over Airline shall be deemed merely a tenant at sufferance.

certitude); and no such termination shall be
effective if such cause shall have been cured or
removed during such thirty-day period, or in the
event such cause is an Event of Default by Authority

B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Page 92
96
Agreement, if a dispute shall arise between

payment under protest by Airline of the amount

ARTICLE XIV - MEDIATION
AND REVIEW OF BUDGET DISPUTES
If Airline and Authority are unable to negotiate and mutually
agree on the rentals, fees and charges or any budgetary items during the month
of June of any year, the following procedure shall be followed:
14.01 Either party may, prior to the end of June, request mediation
and if written request for mediation is made by Airline,
Airline shall, in said request, notify Authority of the names
of any other airline(s) to be joined with Airline as a party
to mediation; if Authority requests mediation, Authority shall
include as a part of its request, the names of any other
airline(s) to be joined with Airline as a party to the
mediation. Within ten (10) calendar days after mailing by
Authority or Airline of written request for mediation, the
parties shall attempt to name a mediator agreeable to both.
In the event the parties cannot
Page 95
99
agree upon a mediator within ten (10) calendar days from the
request for mediation by either party, all airlines joined as
a party to the mediation shall select by a majority vote a
mediator and notify Authority of their designee and Authority
shall within ten (10) days thereafter select a mediator and
notify Airline(s) of its designee. The two so selected shall
within ten (10) calendar days appoint a third mediator; in the
event the two mediators first appointed shall be unable to
agree upon the third mediator within ten (10) calendar days
after the appointment of the last of the two mediators, then
the third mediator shall be appointed by the Circuit Court in
and for Orange County, Florida.
14.02 The mediator or mediators (hereinafter called mediator) shall
immediately hear and investigate the issues of fact or matters
of dispute concerning the budget or any item in the budget and
shall attempt to mediate the dispute and seek agreement
between the parties. The mediator shall consider this
Agreement to determine whether proper procedures have been
followed by both parties. The parties agree that Authority, in
setting its budget in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, shall include items for expenditure only if they
are reasonable, necessary and prudent, taking into account the
obligations of Authority under this
Page 96
100
Agreement and the applicable laws including Authority's
enabling legislation, practices of other airports in the
United States of similar size and traffic, the financial
burden imposed on Signatory Airlines in relation to the
benefits to be derived, the question of whether the
expenditure proposed is the most efficient and economic means
of accomplishing a particular purpose and any other relevant
circumstances such as matters peculiar or relative to the
Orlando International Airport. The question for mediation
shall be whether Authority has set its budgets according to
the above standards as to the particular matters specified by
the party requesting mediation. The mediator shall attempt
mediation for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days from the
date of his appointment and at the end of such time, Authority
shall adopt its budget taking into consideration in good faith
the recommendations and suggestions of Airline(s) and the
mediator. Authority, however, shall have final and sole
discretion in the adoption of its budget. Neither Authority
nor Airline shall be bound by the recommendations or
suggestions.
14.03 Authority and Airline(s) shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of
the cost of mediation and the mediator's fee in the event
there is one mediator and in the event there is a panel of
three mediators, Authority shall
Page 97
101
pay the fee of its mediator, and all the airlines joined as
parties to the mediation shall share equally the fee of their
mediator. Fifty percent (50%) of the sum of the fee of the
third mediator plus all mediation costs shall be paid by
Authority and the remaining fifty percent (50%) shall be
shared equally by all the airlines joined as parties to the
mediation.
14.04 By following the mediation process, neither party waives any
other rights it might have under this Agreement or at law or
equity.
ARTICLE XV - SURRENDER OF AIRLINE'S
EXCLUSIVELY ASSIGNED PREMISES

obligations hereunder, except for damage or loss due to

trade fixtures or equipment it may erect, place or install in,
on or
Page 98

ARTICLE XVII - INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE

any person, resulting from or arising out of or incident to
the negligence of Airline in the conduct of business in, on or
about said Airport,
Page 101
105
including the work, acts or omissions of its officers, agents,
employees, contractors, subcontractors, sublessees, licensees
and invitees, regardless of where the damage, destruction,
injury or death occurred, unless such liability, loss, suit,
claim, demand, judgment, fine, damage, cost or expense was
proximately caused solely by Authority's negligence or the
joint negligence of Authority and any person other than
Airline or Airline's officers, agents, employees, contractors,
subcontractors, sublessees, licensees or invitees, or (ii)
arising out of the failure of Airline to keep, observe or
perform any of the agreements or conditions of this Agreement
to be kept, observed or performed by Airline. Authority and
City shall give Airline prompt and reasonable notice of any
such claim, suit or action, and Airline or its insurer shall
have the right to investigate, compromise, before or after
suit, and defend same. Any final judgment rendered against
Authority and/or City for any cause for which Airline is
liable hereunder shall be conclusive against Airline as to
liability and amount. The provisions of this Section shall
survive the expiration or early termination of the term of
this Agreement.
Page 102

B. Without limiting its liability as aforesaid, Airline
further agrees to carry, and keep in force for the

term of this Agreement reasonably to amend the
monetary limits or coverages herein specified, in
accordance with insurance requirements in effect at
other large hub airports, and in so doing xxxx
Xxxx 103
107
give Airline at least (30) days prior written notice

advisory committees of each), directors, officers,
agents and employees as additional insureds and cover
the contractual liability assumed by Airline
hereunder and contain a waiver of the right of
subrogation that the insurer or insurers may have
against Authority or City. Airline shall furnish to
Authority a certificate(s) of insurance which
satisfactorily evidences that such insurance is in
effect and will not be canceled or reduced during the

ARTICLE XXII - GOVERNMENT INCLUSION
22.01 Airline covenants and agrees that this Agreement shall be
subordinate to the provisions of any existing or future
agreements between Authority and the United States Government,
relative to the operation or maintenance of Airport, the
execution of which has been or will be required as a condition
precedent to the granting of Federal Funds for the development
of Airport to the extent that the provisions of any such
existing or future agreements are generally required by the
United States at other civil airports receiving Federal Funds
and provided that Authority agrees to give Airline written
notice in advance of the execution of such agreements of any
provisions which will modify the terms of this Agreement.
A. Airline, for itself, its successors in interest and
assigns, as a part of the consideration hereof, does
hereby covenant and agree as a covenant running with
the land that (1) no person on the grounds of race,
color, or national origin shall be excluded from
participation in, denied the benefits of, or be
otherwise subject to discrimination in the use of the
Premises including any improvements assigned to
Airline hereunder (collectively referred to
hereinafter as
Page 108
112
the "Assigned Premises"), or the Airport under the
provisions of this Agreement; (2) that in the
construction of any improvements on, over, or under
the Assigned Premises and the furnishing of services
thereon, no person on the grounds of race, color or
national origin shall be excluded from participation
in, denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected
to discrimination; (3) that Airline shall use the
Assigned Premises in compliance with all other
requirements imposed by or pursuant to Title 49, Code
of Federal Regulations, Department of Transportation,
Subtitle A, Office of the Secretary, Part 21,

Regulations may be amended. Likewise, Airline shall
comply with laws of the State of Florida prohibiting
discrimination because of sex, religion, age, race,
color, national origin, marital status or physical
handicap. Should Airline authorize another person,
with Authority's prior written consent, to provide
services or benefits upon the Assigned Premises,
Airline shall obtain from such person a written
agreement pursuant to which such person shall, with
respect
Page 109
113
to the services or benefits which it is authorized to
provide, undertake for itself the obligations
contained in this paragraph. Airline shall furnish
the original of such agreement to Authority.
B. Authority may from time to time be required by the
United States Government, or one or more of its
agencies, to adopt additional or amended provisions
including nondiscrimination provisions, concerning
the use and operation of Airport, and Airline agrees
that it will adopt any such requirement as a part of
this Agreement.
C. In the event of breach of any of the above
nondiscrimination covenants, Authority shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement and to re-enter and
repossess said Assigned Premises, and hold the same
as if this Agreement had never been made or issued.
The right granted to Authority by the foregoing
sentence shall not be effective until applicable
procedures of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations,
Part 21 are followed and completed, including
exercise or expiration of appeal rights.
D. Further, Airline assures Authority that no person
shall be excluded on the grounds of race, creed,
color, national origin or sex from participating in
or receiving the services or benefits of any
Page 110
114
program or activity covered by Title 14, Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 152, Subpart E, Federal
Aviation Administration, Non-discrimination in
Airport Aid Program, and that it will be bound by and
comply with all other applicable provisions of such
Subpart E, as it may be amended. Airline also
assures Authority that it will require its covered
suborganizations to provide written assurances to the
same effect and provide copies thereof to Authority.
E. In addition, Airline assures the Authority that it
will comply with pertinent statutes, executive orders
and such rules as are promulgated to assure that no
person shall, on the grounds of race, creed, national
origin, sex, age or handicap be excluded from
participating in any activity conducted at or in
connection with its operations at the Assigned
Premises. Airline also assures Authority that it
will require its contractors and sublessees to
provide assurances to the same effect and ensure that
such assurances are included in contracts and
subleases at all tiers which are entered into in
connection with Airline's operations at the Assigned
Premises.
F. If Airline shall furnish any services to the public
at the Airport, it shall furnish said
Page 111
115
services on a fair, equal and not unjustly
discriminatory basis to all users thereof and shall
charge fair, reasonable and not unjustly
discriminatory prices for each unit of service,
provided that Airline shall be allowed to make
reasonable and nondiscriminatory discounts, rebates
or other similar types of price reductions to volume
purchasers, if any.
G. Notwithstanding anything herein contained that may be
or appear to the contrary, it is expressly understood
and agreed that the rights granted under this
Agreement (except in the Exclusively Assigned
Premises and Joint Use Premises) are "non-exclusive"
and Authority reserves the right to grant similar
privileges to other air transport operators on other
parts of Airport.
H. Airline shall comply with all applicable regulations
of the FAA relating to Airport security and shall
control the Assigned Premises so as to prevent or
deter unauthorized persons from obtaining access to
the air operations area of Airport.
I. Authority reserves unto itself, its successors, and
assigns, for the use and benefit of the public, a
right of flight for the passage of aircraft in the
airspace above the surface of the
Page 112
116
Assigned Premises, for navigation or flight in the
said airspace for landing on, taking off from or
operating on Airport.
J. Airline expressly agrees for itself, its successors
and assigns, to restrict the height of structures,
objects of natural growth and other obstructions on
the Assigned Premises to such a height so as to
comply with Federal Aviation Regulations, Part 77.
K. Airline agrees to require any lights on Assigned
Premises to be constructed, focused or arranged in a
manner that will prevent them from casting their
beams in an upward direction so as to interfere with
the vision of pilots in aircraft landing or taking
off from Airport.
L. Airline expressly agrees for itself, its successors
and assigns, to prevent any use of the Assigned
Premises which would interfere with or adversely
affect the operation or maintenance of Airport, or
otherwise constitute an Airport hazard.

The principles used by Authority in preparing the Annual
Budget for its Fiscal Year which commenced October 1, 1987
received the unanimous approval of all Signatory Airlines. In
addition the fees and charges for Airline's right to use and
occupy its Exclusively Assigned Premises have been determined
in accordance with the principles referred to in the MII
Resolution dated May 18, 1988, which is incorporated herein be
reference as a part of Exhibit G. To the extent that any of
such principles are different from the principles contained in
the Rates and Changes Analysis of the Expanded Terminal
Development Program, prepared by Peat Marwick Main & Co. dated
April 30, 1980 referred to in Exhibit G, Airline hereby
approves such changes.

24.03 SECURITY FEES.
Airline agrees to pay its share of that portion of Authority's
security costs that is not included in either the rental rates
being charged the Signatory Airlines for space of the same
class being leased to Airline hereunder, or in the landing
fees being paid by the Signatory Airlines. Airline's share of
such portion of these security costs will be calculated and
paid by Airline on the same basis as such costs are calculated
and paid by the other Signatory Airlines.
24.04 PASSENGER BAGGAGE.
Airline agrees that Authority will have the right, exercisable
from time to time on written notice to Airline, to determine
what size baggage Airline's passengers will be permitted to
carry onto the automated guideway transit system at the
Airport, and Airline will require its passengers to check all
baggage larger than the size approved by Authority at the
curbside adjacent to the skycap office being leased to Airline
hereunder or at the ticket counters in the landside space
being leased to Airline hereunder.
24.05 TAX COVENANTS.
A. Airline agrees to comply with any then applicable
provisions of any then applicable federal tax
statute, and all regulations promulgated
Page 116
120
thereunder, to permit any facilities leased to
Airline hereunder and any Additional Project, to be
planned and constructed by Authority with
Subordinated Indebtedness and/or with Additional
Revenue Bonds (the interest on which is exempt from
federal income taxation, other than any applicable
individual or corporate minimum income taxes),
including without limitation the execution by Airline
and delivery to Authority of an election not to claim
depreciation or any investment credit with respect to
any facilities leased to Airline hereunder, or any
other portion of the Airport System required of
Airline by any then applicable federal tax statute or
regulation to establish or maintain the tax-exempt
status (as described above) of interest on such
Subordinated Indebtedness and/or Additional Revenue
Bonds. Airline hereby executes and delivers to
Authority the election attached hereto as Exhibit "K".
B. Airline agrees that its use of facilities financed
with proceeds of Subordinated Indebtedness and/or
with Additional Revenue Bonds shall be limited to
activities directly related and essential to
servicing aircraft, enabling aircraft to take off and
land, and transferring passengers or cargo to and
from aircraft, and activities functionally
Page 117
121
related and subordinate to such operations. Airline
also agrees that it will not, at some future time,
convert the use of facilities financed with proceeds
of Subordinated Indebtedness and/or with Additional
Revenue Bonds, to use as part of a lodging facility,
part of a retail facility in excess of a size
necessary to serve passengers and employees at the
Airport, or part of a manufacturing facility.
C. Airline further agrees that the proceeds of
Subordinated Indebtedness and/or Additional Revenue
Bonds that are exempt from federal income taxation
will not be used to acquire any property or any
interest therein the first use of which is not
pursuant to such acquisition. Airline also agrees
that it shall limit its use of such portion of its
Exclusively Assigned Premises or Joint Use Premises
used for office space so that no more than a de
minimis amount (not more than five percent (5%)), if
any, of the functions to be performed in such space
will not be directly related to its day-to-day
operations either at such premises or more generally
within the Terminal. The provisions of this
paragraph shall not be interpreted to confer any
rights on Airline that are not expressly granted
elsewhere in this
Page 118
122
Agreement.
24.06 PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES. A person or affiliate who has been
placed on the convicted vendor list following a conviction for
a public entity crime may not submit a bid on a contract to
provide any goods or services to a public entity, may not
submit a bid on a contract with a public entity for the
construction or repair of a public building or public work,
may not submit bids on leases of real property to a public
entity, may not be awarded or perform work as a contractor,
supplier, subcontractor, or consultant under a contract with
any public entity, and may not transact business with any
public entity in excess of $10,000 for a period of 36 months
from the date of being placed on the convicted vendor list.
24.07 SPECIAL PROVISIONS
A) Simultaneously with its execution of this Agreement,
Airline has paid Authority the sum of three thousand
seven hundred Dollars ($3,700.00) as a deposit to
cover the cost of modifying Authority's
identification, directional and locational signs
affecting Airline and on which Airline's name is
entitled to appear in accordance with the applicable
requirements of Authority's existing signage policy.
Authority agrees with
Page 119
123
reasonable promptness to make such signage
modification with signs that are compatible with
existing similar signs at the Airport. Upon
completion of such signage modification, Authority
will submit an invoice to Airline showing the cost of
same. Should the cost be less than the deposit,
Authority will submit its payment for the difference
with such invoice. Should the cost exceed the
deposit, Airline will pay the excess sum within
fifteen (15) days of its receipt of such invoice.
B) Authority shall turn over to Airline the Assigned
Premises shown on Exhibit "C" at which time Airline
shall become obligated to pay fees and charges
hereunder subject to measurement and adjustment for
final costs and "as built" conditions retroactive to
the Effective Date. At such time the Exhibits "C",
"E-3" and "H" shall be replaced with final exhibits
showing such as built measurement and adjustments.
C) (1) (a) On the expiration of the Notice Period
(as hereinafter defined) after Authority's
written notice to Airline, Airline agrees to
lease five (5) aircraft gates, configured to
accommodate aircraft as large as a Boeing
757/200 (or equivalent), together with the
related Aircraft Parking Apron and airside
support space. Such gates shall be located in
Page 120
124
a contiguous area of an airside in the
Terminal, as the same may hereafter be
expanded or become available for any reason.
The Notice Period shall equal the shorter of
(i) the remaining number of days notice
Airline must give its sublessor to terminate
or cancel its sublease of aircraft gates in
the Terminal, or sixty (60) days, whichever
is longer, or (ii) 180 days. The total
airside space per gate required to be leased
by Airline shall not exceed the areas set
forth below by class:
Class 2 Space: 2,407 Square Feet
Class 3 Space: 1,614 Square Feet
Class 4 Space: 85 Square Feet
Class 5 Space: As Available
Authority's written notice to Airline shall
be accompanied by a new Exhibit "C-1"
identifying the location of such aircraft
gates, Aircraft Parking Apron and airside
support space, a new Exhibit "E-3A" showing
the per gate Tenant Finish Surcharge and
Space Surcharge, and a new Exhibit "H"
showing the apron fees for the Aircraft
Parking Apron. On the expiration of the
Page 121
125
Notice Period: (i) the space shown on such
proposed Exhibit "C-1" shall be added to the
premises and facilities leased by Airline on
a preferential use basis pursuant to Section
2.03 above; (ii) Airline shall pay fees and
charges hereunder calculated for the space
shown on Exhibits "C" and "C-1", a Tenant
Finish Surcharge and/or Space Surcharge based
upon Exhibits "E-3" and "E-3A", and apron
fees for the use of the Aircraft Parking
Apron based upon the new Exhibit "H"; and
(iii) references in this Agreement to Exhibit
"C" shall include Exhibits "C" and "C-1", and
references in this Agreement to Exhibit "E-3"
shall include Exhibits "E-3" and "E-3A".
Airline agrees that prior to the expiration
of the Notice Period, it shall execute and
deliver to the Authority the following
documents, in the form in which such
documents have previously been executed by
the Authority and American Trans Air, Inc.,
pursuant to which Airline will, effective on
the expiration of the Notice Period, become a
lessee of the Fuel System serving the
Terminal at the Airport, and will lease on a
preferential use basis the fuel pits serving
Page 122
126
Airline's aircraft gates: Fuel System Lease
Agreement; Joinder to Fuel System Interline
Agreement; Joinder to Fuel System Access
Agreement; and Joinder to Fuel System
Operation and Maintenance Agreement. The
Authority may not exercise its rights under
this Section 24.07(C)(1)(a) after Airline has
been required to relocate into a Future
Expansion pursuant to Section 24.07(C)(2)
below.
(b) If the Authority determines that the
location of the airside space to be leased to
Airline pursuant to Section 24.07(C)(1)(a)
above makes the landside space currently
leased to Airline hereunder operationally
inefficient or undesirable, then on at least
sixty (60) days prior written notice from
Authority (the "Notice Period"), which notice
may but shall not be required to accompany
the notice described in Section
24.07(C)(1)(a) above, Airline shall be
required to relocate from the landside space
currently leased to Airline to reasonably
equivalent space located elsewhere in the
landside of the Terminal, as the same may
hereafter be expanded or become available for
Page 123
127
any reason. The total landside space per
gate required to be leased by Airline shall
not exceed the landside space per gate, by
class, currently leased to Airline hereunder.
If the Authority exercises this right, then
such written notice shall be accompanied by a
substitute Exhibit "C" showing the landside
space into which Airline will be relocated,
as well as airside space then leased to
Airline, with a Tenant Finish Surcharge
and/or Space Surcharge to be identified on a
substitute Exhibit "E-3". On the expiration
of the Notice Period: (i) the space shown on
the substitute Exhibit "C" shall be
substituted for the space shown on the
original Exhibit "C" to this Agreement; (ii)
Airline shall pay fees and charges hereunder
calculated for the space shown on such
substitute Exhibit "C", and a Tenant Finish
Surcharge and/or Space Surcharge based on the
substitute Exhibit "E-3", and (iii) Airline
shall have no right to use or occupy any of
the landside space shown on the original
Exhibit "C" attached hereto. Airline's
obligation to pay the Space Surcharge
applicable to the landside space shown on
Page 124
128
such original Exhibit "C" and previously
occupied by Airline shall terminate as of the
expiration of the Notice Period and Airline's
vacating of such space. However, Airline's
obligation to pay the Tenant Finish Surcharge
applicable to the landside space shown on
such original Exhibit "C" and previously
occupied by Airline shall not terminate but
shall be subject to the principles contained
in the MII Resolution dated May 18, 1988,
referred to in Section 24.02 above. The
Authority may not exercise its rights under
this Section 24.07(C)(1)(b) after Airline has
been required to relocate into a Future
Expansion pursuant to Section 24.07(C)(2)
below.
(2) Authority shall have the option to relocate
Airline's Assigned Premises and Aircraft
Parking Aprons after substantial completion
of a future expansion of the Terminal, which
expansion (the "Future Expansion") may
consist of the construction of Airside 2, or
the construction of a terminal facility in
the area to the south or east of the
Terminal. If the Authority exercises this
Page 125
129
option, then not less than 180 days prior to
the estimated substantial completion of the
Future Expansion, the Authority shall provide
a written notice to Airline identifying on a
proposed substitute Exhibit "C" the
facilities in the Terminal, as the same may
hereafter be expanded or become available for
any reason, into which Airline will be
relocated, which facilities shall include ten
(10) aircraft gates, configured to
accommodate aircraft as large as a Boeing
757/200 (or equivalent), located in a
contiguous area of an airside in the
Terminal, not more than 125% of each class of
landside space per gate currently assigned to
Airline, and not more than 125% of each class
of airside space per gate identified in
Section 24.07(C)(1)(a) above, with a per gate
Tenant Finish Surcharge and/or Space
Surcharge to be identified on a proposed
substitute Exhibit "E-3" which shall
accompany such written notice, and specifying
the estimated relocation date on which
Airline shall be obligated to relocate its
facilities. Such estimated relocation date
as it may be postponed from time to time by
Page 126
130
the Authority on at least 30 days prior
written notice to Airline, is hereafter the
"Relocation Date". Airline shall be
obligated to relocate its operations into the
space shown on the proposed substitute
Exhibit "C" on the Relocation Date, and on
and after the Relocation Date Airline shall
pay fees and charges hereunder calculated for
the space shown on such substitute Exhibit
"C", a Tenant Finish Surcharge and/or Space
Surcharge based upon a new Exhibit "E-3"
showing Airline's recalculated Tenant Finish
Surcharge and/or Space Surcharge for such
relocated space, and apron fees for the use
of Airline's relocated Preferential Use
Aircraft Parking Apron based upon a new
Exhibit "H". Airline shall have no right to
use or occupy any of the space shown on the
original Exhibit "C" attached hereto (or any
of the fuel pits serving the aircraft gates
included in such space) on or after the
Relocation Date. Airline's obligation to pay
the Space Surcharge applicable to the space
shown on such original Exhibit "C" and
previously occupied by Airline shall
terminate as of the Relocation Date.
Page 127
131
However, Airline's obligation to pay the
Tenant Finish Surcharge applicable to the
space shown on such original Exhibit "C" and
previously occupied by Airline shall not
terminate but shall be subject to the
principles contained in the MII Resolution
dated May 18, 1988, referred to in Section
24.02 above. The amount of space by class
assigned to Airline shall be subject to
measurement and adjustment for "as built"
conditions retroactive to the Relocation
Date, and thereupon the original Exhibits
"C", "E-3" and "H" shall be replaced with
final exhibits showing such as built
measurement and adjustments. Airline agrees
that prior to the Relocation Date, it shall
execute and deliver to the Authority the
following documents, in the form in which
such documents have previously been executed
by the Authority and American Trans Air, Inc.
(or if such documents have previously been
executed and delivered by Airline pursuant to
Section 24.07(C)(1)(a) above, amendments to
such documents), pursuant to which Airline
will, effective on the Relocation date,
become (or continue as) a lessee of the Fuel
Page 128
132
System serving the Terminal at the Airport,
and will lease on a preferential use basis
(or substitute for the fuel pits previously
leased on a preferential use basis by
Airline) the fuel pits serving Airline's
aircraft gates in the Future Expansion: Fuel
System Lease Agreement; Joinder to Fuel
System Interline Agreement; Joinder to Fuel
System Access Agreement; and Joinder to Fuel
System Operation and Maintenance Agreement.
If the Authority requires Airline to relocate to new
facilities under this Section 24.07(C)(2), and if
Airline chooses not to relocate capital equipment
purchased with its own funds and not previously
reimbursed with tenant finish funds, the Authority
shall have the option to reimburse Airline for the
unamortized cost of such equipment (not to exceed the
then fair market value thereof) as a project cost or
require a subsequent user to pay such unamortized
cost to Airline.
Authority shall have no liability to Airline in the
event that it is unable for any reason to commence or
complete the construction of the Future Expansion or
of the facilities, if any, to be constructed for
Airline therein.
The Authority agrees to exercise its option to
Page 129
133
relocate Airline pursuant to this Section 24.07(C)(2)
promptly after all of the following conditions have
been satisfied:
(a) Substantial completion of the Future
Expansion.
(b) Unless the Lease and Use Agreement with
Southwest Airlines Co. ("Southwest") has been
earlier terminated, the Authority has leased
one additional narrow bodied aircraft gate to
Southwest (for a total of four narrow bodied
aircraft gates) pursuant to its Lease and Use
Agreement, or such gate has been offered to
Southwest and it has failed to lease it
pursuant to its Lease and Use Agreement;
(c) Unless the Lease and Use Agreement with
American Trans Air, Inc. has been earlier
terminated, the Authority has leased two
additional narrow bodied aircraft gates to
American Trans Air, Inc. (for a total of two
wide bodied aircraft gates and two narrow
bodied aircraft gates) pursuant to its Lease
and Use Agreement, or such gates have been
offered to American Trans Air, Inc. and it
has failed to lease them pursuant to its
Lease and Use Agreement;
(d) The Authority controls a total of 9 unleased
Page 130
134
aircraft gates in the Terminal, excluding the
gates to be leased to Airline pursuant to
this Section 24.07(C)(2). The Authority
agrees that if it leases any of the 9
unleased aircraft gates that it controls on
the date of this Agreement, then the number
of such gates leased by the Authority shall
be deducted from the number "9" in this
subparagraph in determining whether the
condition in this subparagraph has been
satisfied; and
(e) There are 10 unleased gates configured to
accommodate aircraft as large as a Boeing
757/200 (or equivalent) available in a
contiguous area of an airside in the
Terminal.
The Authority's intention is to build a Future
Expansion that is large enough to satisfy each of the
foregoing conditions, and agrees to make a reasonable
good faith effort, in its negotiations with the
Signatory Airlines, to obtain the necessary MII
approvals of such a Future Expansion.
D) As long as Airline has the right to occupy ticket
counter and/or baggage claim space which requires the
use of baggage make-up and/or baggage claim
Page 131
135
devices owned and operated by the Authority, then
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.01(A)
above, or of Exhibit "F" attached hereto, (i)
Airlines' right to use such bag make-up and/or bag
claim devices shall be in common with such third
parties as Authority shall permit to use such
devices, and (ii) the Authority shall maintain such
devices in good operating condition, and Airline
shall be obligated to pay to the Authority 50% of the
monthly cost of maintaining such devices, which
payment shall be made by Airline promptly after
receipt of Authority's invoice. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Airline shall be solely responsible to
repair any damage to the devices caused by the
negligence or intentional misconduct of Airline, its
employees, agents or contractors.
E) Airline shall be required to provide a minimum number
of seats on flights departing from the Airport per
gate assigned to Airline hereunder per day (such
obligation is hereinafter referred to as the "Service
Commitment") equal to the greater of (i) the average,
as calculated conclusively by the Authority from time
to time, of the number of seats per gate per day
provided by the Signatory Airlines on flights
departing from gates assigned
Page 132
136
to such Signatory Airlines, or (ii) an average of
five hundred (500) seats per gate per day.
Airline shall become a Signatory Airline on the
Effective Date and shall continue to be responsible
for all its obligations under this Agreement
notwithstanding its failure to satisfy the Service
Commitment, provided however:
i) If Airline shall fail to satisfy the Service
Commitment during the consecutive six (6)
month period (excluding any period prior to
the Effective Date of this Agreement)
immediately preceding the taking of a vote on
an issue submitted for MII approval under
this Agreement, then Airline shall be
conclusively deemed to have cast an
affirmative vote on such MII issue provided
that the result of the MII ballot constitutes
an affirmative MII vote in both the number of
Signatory Airlines and amount of fees
pursuant to Section 1.28 hereof, in each case
calculated by excluding Airline from the
calculation.
ii) If Airline shall fail to satisfy the Service
Commitment during any consecutive twelve (12)
month period ending July 31 (excluding in the
first year of this Agreement any period prior
Page 133
137
to the Effective Date), then notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
Airline shall not be entitled to a credit
against its fees and charges resulting from
the application of the amounts deposited in
the Airport Facilities Prepaid Airlines Fees
and Charges Fund at the end of the Fiscal
Year which concluded on the September 30th
following such twelve month period.
F) Airline shall be bound by all MII approvals granted
by the Signatory Airlines prior to the Effective Date.
G) Airline approves the Gate Utilization Program (the
"Program") attached hereto as Exhibit "L" and agrees
that all of its Exclusively Assigned Premises and
Preferential Use Aircraft Parking Aprons shall
participate in the Program, with such modifications
to the Program as the Authority and an MII of the
Signatory Airlines participating in the Program may
approve.
24.08 RADON GAS NOTICE. Florida Statutes, Section 404.056(8)
requires the following language on at least one document
executed prior to or simultaneously with this Lease:
"Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that,
Page 134
138
when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient
quantities, may present health risks to persons who are
exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal
and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida.
Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may
be obtained from your county public health unit."
ARTICLE XXV - USE OF AIRPORTS
25.01 To the extent permitted by law, Authority covenants and agrees
that it will not permit the use of Orlando Executive Airport
(formerly known as Xxxxxxx Airport) or any other airport
operated by Authority within thirty (30) statute miles of the
Airport for any scheduled service or for charter service by
any airline providing scheduled service to the Airport. A
"scheduled service" is one that is operated or proposed to be
operated pursuant to a schedule contained in the then current
issue of the Official Airline Guide, or as otherwise defined
by Authority and an MII.
25.02 The Signatory Airlines, in consideration of the above
covenant, also agree not to serve any airport with scheduled
service or charter service within thirty (30) statute miles of
Orlando International Airport.
25.03 Authority covenants and agrees that it will not permit
Page 135
139
the former terminal building nor any other facilities on the
Airport outside the Terminal to be used as a terminal for
scheduled interstate or intrastate passenger service by any
airline, air carrier or other provider of air transportation
except for interim operations while additional facilities are
under construction in the Terminal. This exemption shall not
apply if a Signatory Airline(s) makes the necessary space and
facilities available on reasonable terms during any such
period of construction.
ARTICLE XXVI - PUBLIC USE
26.01 Authority acknowledges that the premises leased to Airline
hereunder are to be used for the purpose of providing public
air transportation facilities.
ARTICLE XXVII - BINDING ON SUCCESSORS
27.01 This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their authorized successors and assigns.
ARTICLE XIX - EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENT
28.01 On the Effective Date, this Agreement shall supersede and
terminate any prior agreements between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, but any
Page 136
140
amounts owed by either party to the other under any such prior
agreement shall continue to be owed hereunder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto by their duly authorized
officers have caused this Agreement and as many counterparts as may be required
to be executed in their names and
Page 137
141
their corporate seals to be affixed hereto and to each of said counterparts,
