hereby agree to amend the Lease, effective as of the Effective Date
(except as otherwise herein expressly provided), as follows:
1. (a) Premises added to Area C-3: In addition to the
premises heretofore let to the Lessee under the Lease as to which
the letting shall continue in full force and effect subject to all
the terms and conditions of the Lease, as herein amended, the Port
Authority hereby lets to the Lessee and the Lessee hereby hires and
takes from the Port Authority the following areas at Newark
International Airport (i) effective as of 12:01 A.M. on the
Effective Date the ground areas shown in diagonal hatch and in
broken diagonal hatch on the sketch attached hereto, hereby made a

"Added Area 3") and, the said Added Area 1, Added Area 2 and Added
Area 3 to be and become a part of Area C-3 of the premises under
the Lease, as herein amended, let to the Lessee (said Added Area 1,
Added Area 2 and Added Area 3 sometimes collectively hereinafter
referred to as the "Area C-3 Addition") subject to and in
accordance with all of the terms, covenants, provisions and
conditions of the Lease, as herein amended, for and during all the
residue and remainder of the term of the letting of Area C-3 under
the Lease, as herein amended, and as said term is extended pursuant
to Paragraph 2 hereof.
It is expressly recognized that Exhibit A-1 is a preliminary
exhibit and is marked "Preliminary" and is subject to replacement
with a final exhibit upon the Port Authority's determination of
final metes and bounds of the aforesaid Added Area 1, Added Area 2
and Added Area 3 as more fully described in Paragraph 3A of this

For purposes hereof, the term "Added Area 3 Effective Date"
shall mean the later to occur of (i) the date set forth by the Port

performing paving and such other specified construction activities
as may be permitted (as provided in said permit(s) or other
agreement(s), and consistent with the terms of this Supplement No.
17). The parties each understand that such access will be
coordinated and staged so as to permit the continuous use by the
Port Authority of Added Area 3 for vehicular parking except for
those portions thereof that are, from time to time, temporarily
made available to the Lessee as provided herein, and that it is the
Lessee's desire to have as much of said area as possible paved and
ready for use as aircraft ramp on the Added Area 3 Effective Date.
(b) Premises added to C-1 and C-2 portions of the
premises: In addition to the premises heretofore let to the Lessee

the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of the Lease, as
herein amended, for and during all the residue and remainder of the
term of the letting of the C-1 and C-2 portions of the premises

covenant, condition or provision of the Lease, the Lessee hereby
expressly assumes all risks, costs and expenses in connection with
the letting hereunder of the said Xxxxx Ditch Area to the Lessee
including without limitation the risk that the City of Newark may

risks that the City of Newark or any other governmental authority
may not grant to the Lessee any necessary permits or approvals for
the construction, filling in or use or alteration by the Lessee of
the said Xxxxx Ditch Area. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Lessee shall consult with the Port Authority in the application for
the required individual freshwater wetland permits and stream

The Area C-3 rental amounts set forth above in subdivision

adjustments based on the Port Authority's determination of the
final metes and bounds of Added Area 1, Added Area 2 and Added Area

installment of rentals for Area C-3 for said month shall be the
monthly installment prorated on a daily basis using the actual
number of days in the said month.
(f) The Lessee understands and agrees that, while the term of
the letting of Area C-3 of the premises under the Lease as extended
under this Seventeenth Supplemental Agreement shall expire on March
31, 2028, the final Airport Services Factor for the year 2028 will
not be determined for some months after such expiration and that
the Lessee's obligation to pay any deficiency in the Area C-3
rental for the year 2028 or the Port Authority's obligation to pay
a refund in said rentals resulting from the determination of the
final Airport Services Factor for the year 2027 or the year 2028
shall survive such expiration of the Lease and shall remain in full
force and effect until such deficiency or refund, if any, is paid.
The Lessee hereby specifically acknowledges that neither the
survival of the obligation with respect to any such deficiency or
refund nor any other provision of this Supplemental Agreement shall
grant or shall be deemed to grant any rights whatsoever to the
Lessee to have the term of the letting of Area C-3 under the Lease,
or any portion of the premises thereunder, extended for any period
beyond March 31, 2028 or affect in any way the Port Authority's
right to terminate the Lease, or any portion of the premises
thereunder, as provided therein.
(g) If any installment of Area C-3 rental payable hereunder
shall be for less than a full calendar month, then the Area C-3
rental payment for the portion of the month for which said payment
is due shall be the monthly installment prorated on a daily basis
using the actual number of days in that said month.
(h) Upon any termination of the letting hereunder (even if
stated to have the same effect as expiration), the Lessee shall
within twenty (20) days after the effective date of such
termination, make a payment of the Area C-3 rental computed as
follows: if the letting hereunder is terminated effective on a date
other than the last day of a month the rental for the portion of
that month in which the letting remains effective shall be the
amount of the monthly installment of rental prorated on a daily
basis, and if the monthly installment due on the first day of that
month has not been paid the Lessee shall pay the prorated part of
the amount of that installment; if the monthly installment has been
paid, then the excess thereof shall be credited to the Lessee's
obligations.
(i) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall affect the
survival obligations of the Lessee as set forth in Section 27

(as described in paragraph 4 (c) hereof); said supplemental
agreement and said adjustments to have retroactive effect to the
Effective Date of this Supplement No. 17, except as to Added Area 3

Effective Date. The said supplemental agreement shall be prepared
by the Port Authority and submitted to the Lessee for its execution
and the Lessee shall, and hereby agrees to, provide that the
information set forth therein is accurate and the supplemental
agreement modifies the Lease for the aforesaid changes and
adjustments and no other modifications (but may also include such
other provisions which also relate to the finalization of the metes
and bounds of the aforesaid areas), execute the said supplemental
agreement and deliver the same to the Port Authority not later than

claims and demands for death, for personal injury or for

from the acts or omissions of the Lessee, of any contractors
of the Lessee, of the Port Authority, or of third persons, or
from acts of God or of the public enemy, or otherwise,
(including claims of the City of Newark against the Port
Authority pursuant to the provisions of the Basic Lease
whereby the Port Authority has agreed to indemnify the City

If so directed, the Lessee shall at its own expense
defend any suit based upon any such claim or demand (even
if such suit, claim or demand is groundless, false or
fraudulent), and in handling such it shall not, without
obtaining express advance written permission from the
General Counsel of the Port Authority, raise any defense
involving in any way the jurisdiction of the tribunal
over the person of the Port Authority, the immunity of
the Port Authority, its Commissioners, officers, agents
or employees, the governmental nature of the Port
Authority, or the provisions of any statutes respecting
suits against the Port Authority.
(2) (i) Prior to engaging or retaining an architect

done in accordance with plans and specifications to be
submitted to and approved by the Port Authority prior to the
commencement of the Expansion Construction Work, and until
such approval has been obtained the Lessee shall continue to
resubmit plans and specifications as required. Upon approval
of such plans and specifications by the Port Authority, the
Lessee shall proceed diligently at its sole cost and expense
to perform the Expansion Construction Work. All Expansion
Construction Work, including workmanship and materials, shall

plans and specifications, the provisions of this Section 93 or
any further requirements of the Port Authority.
(ii) The Lessee shall expend not less than Four
Hundred Million Dollars and No Cents ($400,000,000.00) with
respect to the Expansion Construction Work. If the Lessee

provided, however, that with respect to Added Area 3 (as
defined in Paragraph 1 of Supplement No. 17 to this Lease) the

(3) Prior to entering into a contract for any part
of the Expansion Construction Work, the Lessee shall submit to
the Port Authority for its approval the names of the
contractors to whom the Lessee proposes to award said
contracts. The Port Authority shall have the right to
disapprove any contractor who may be unacceptable to it. The

conditions as may be reasonably required by the Port
Authority. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
all of the Lessee's construction contracts shall provide as
follows: "If (i) the Contractor fails to perform any of his
obligations under the Contract, including his obligation to
the Lessee to pay any claims lawfully made against him by any
materialman, subcontractor or xxxxxxx or other third person
which arises out of or in connection with the performance of
the Contract or (ii) any claim (just or unjust) which arises
out of or in connection with the Contract is made against the
Lessee or (iii) any subcontractor under the Contract fails to
pay any claims, lawfully made against him by any materialman,
subcontractor, xxxxxxx or other third persons which arises out
of or in connection with the Contract or if in the Lessee's
opinion any of the aforesaid contingencies is likely to arise,
then the Lessee shall have the right, in its discretion, to
withhold out of any payment (final or otherwise and even
though such payments have already been certified as due) such
sums as the Lessee may deem ample to protect it against delay
or loss or to assume the payment of just claims of third
persons, and to apply such sums in such manner as the Lessee
may deem proper to secure such protection or satisfy such
claims. All sums so applied shall be deducted from the
Contractor's compensation. Omission by the Lessee to withhold
out of any payment, final or otherwise, a sum for any of the
above contingencies, even though such contingency has occurred
at the time of such payment, shall not be deemed to indicate
that the Lessee does not intend to exercise its right with
respect to such contingency. Neither the above provisions for
rights of the Lessee to withhold and apply monies nor any
exercise, or attempted exercise of, or omission to exercise
such rights by the Lessee shall create any obligation of any
kind to such materialmen, subcontractors, workmen or other
third persons. Until actual payment is made to the
Contractor, his right to any amount to be paid under the
Contract (even though such amount has already been certified
as due) shall be subordinate to the rights of the Lessee under
this provision."
The Lessee shall file with the Port Authority a
copy of its contracts with its contractors prior to start of
the Expansion Construction Work.
(4) The Lessee shall furnish or require its
architect to furnish a full time resident engineer during the

(5) As between the Lessee and the Port Authority,
the Lessee agrees to be solely responsible for any plans and
specifications used by it and for any loss or damages
resulting from the use thereof, notwithstanding that the same
have been approved by the Port Authority and notwithstanding
the incorporation therein of Port Authority recommendations or
requirements. Notwithstanding the requirement for approval by
the Port Authority of the contracts to be entered into by the
Lessee or the incorporation therein of Port Authority
requirements or recommendations, and notwithstanding any
rights the Port Authority may have reserved to itself
hereunder, the Port Authority shall have no liabilities or
obligations of any kind to any contractors engaged by the
Lessee or for any other matter in connection therewith and the
Lessee hereby releases and discharges the Port Authority, its
Commissioners, officers, representatives and employees of and
from any and all liability, claims for damages or losses of
any kind whether legal or equitable, or from any action or
cause of action arising or alleged to arise out of the
performance of any Expansion Construction Work pursuant to the
contracts between the Lessee and its contractors, except for
any of the foregoing which results solely from the willful
misconduct, or the sole negligence of, the Port Authority, its
Commissioners, officers, agents and employees. Any warranties
contained in any construction contract entered into by the
Lessee for the performance of the Expansion Construction Work
hereunder shall be for the benefit of the Port Authority as
well as the Lessee, and the contract shall so provide.
(6) The Port Authority shall have the right, through
its duly designated representatives, to inspect the Expansion
Construction Work and the plans and specifications thereof, at
any and all reasonable times during the progress thereof and
from time to time, in its discretion, to take samples and
perform testing on any part of the Expansion Construction
Work.
(7) The Lessee agrees that it shall deliver to the
Port Authority two (2) sets of "as built" drawings of the
Expansion Construction Work. One set of drawings shall be
printed on Mylar transparencies with the image of the New
Jersey seal of the Lessee's Architect or Engineer of Record on
each drawing. The associated Architect's or Engineer's
signature can also be imaged or signed in pencil on each
drawing. The second set of drawings shall consist of blue
line paper prints, each with the raised embossed New Jersey
seal of the Architect or Engineer of Record appropriately
signed in ink. The Lessee shall during the term of this Lease
keep said drawings current showing thereon any changes or
modifications which may be made. No changes or modifications
shall be made without prior Port Authority consent.
(8) The Lessee shall, if requested by the Port
Authority, take all reasonable measures to prevent erosion of
the soil and the blowing of sand during the performance of the
Expansion Construction Work, including but not limited to the
fencing of the premises or portions thereof or other areas and
the covering of open areas with asphaltic emulsion or similar
materials as the Port Authority may direct.
(9) Any soil, dirt, sand or other matter
(hereinafter in this item (9) collectively called "the
matter") excavated by the Lessee during the course of the
Expansion Construction Work and not used by the Lessee at the
premises in the Expansion Construction Work shall be delivered
and deposited by the Lessee in accordance with all
Environmental Requirements at its expense to any location on
the Airport as may be designated by the Port Authority prior
to the time of removal thereof from the Airport. The entire
proceeds, if any, of the sale or other disposition of the
matter shall belong to the Port Authority. Notwithstanding
the foregoing the Port Authority may elect by prior written
notice to the Lessee to waive any rights it may have hereunder
as to all or portions of the matter in which event the Lessee
at its sole expense shall, in accordance with all
Environmental Requirements, dispose of the same without
further instruction from the Port Authority.
(10) The Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid all
claims lawfully made against it by its contractors,
subcontractors, materialmen and workmen, and all claims
lawfully made against it by other third persons arising
out of or in connection with or because of the
performance of the Expansion Construction Work, and shall
cause its contractors and subcontractors to pay all such
claims lawfully made against them provided, however, that
nothing herein contained shall be construed to limit the
right of the Lessee to contest any claim of a contractor,
subcontractor, materialman, xxxxxxx and/or other person
and no such claim shall be considered to be an obligation
of the Lessee within the meaning of this Section unless
and until the same shall have been finally adjudicated.
The Lessee shall use its best efforts to resolve any such
claims and shall keep the Port Authority fully informed
of its actions with respect thereto. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to constitute consent to the
creation of any liens or claims against the premises nor
to create any rights in said third persons against the
Port Authority or the Lessee.
(11) (i) The Lessee in its own name as insured and
including the Port Authority as an additional insured shall
procure and maintain Commercial General Liability insurance,
including but not limited to premises-operations, products
liability-completed operations, explosion, collapse and
underground property damages, bodily injury (including death),
personal injury and independent contractors, with a broad form
property damage endorsement and with a contractual liability
endorsement covering the obligations assumed by the Lessee
pursuant to subparagraphs (1) and (5) of this paragraph (d),
Comprehensive Automobile Liability insurance covering owned,
non-owned and hired vehicles, and automatically covering newly
acquired vehicles, and Environmental Liability Insurance. The
said Commercial General Liability insurance policy shall have
a limit of not less than $100,000,000 combined single limit
per occurrence for bodily injury (including death) and
property damage liability, said Comprehensive Automobile
Liability policy shall have a limit of not less than
$25,000,000 combined single limit per accident for bodily
injury (including death) and property damage liability, and
said Environmental Liability Insurance shall have a limit of
not less than $3,000,000.
Without limiting the provisions hereof, in the
event the Lessee maintains the foregoing insurance in limits
greater than aforesaid, the Port Authority shall be included
therein as an additional insured to the full extent of all
such insurance in accordance with all the terms and provisions
hereof.
The foregoing shall be in addition to all
policies of insurance otherwise required by this Agreement, or
the Lessee may provide such insurance by requiring each
contractor engaged by it for the Expansion Construction Work
to procure and maintain such insurance including such
contractual liability endorsement, said insurance, whether
procured by the Lessee or by a contractor engaged by it as
aforesaid, not to contain any exclusion for bodily injury to
or sickness, disease or death of any employee of the Lessee or
of any of its contractors which would conflict with or in any
way impair coverage under the contractual liability
endorsement. All of the aforesaid policy or policies of
insurance shall also provide or contain an endorsement
providing that the protections afforded the Lessee thereunder
with respect to any claim or action against the Lessee by a
third person shall pertain and apply with like effect with
respect to any claim or action against the Lessee by the Port
Authority, and shall also provide or contain an endorsement
providing that the protections afforded the Port Authority
thereunder with respect to any claim or action against the
Port Authority by the Lessee or its contractor(s) shall be the
same as the protections afforded the Lessee thereunder with
respect to any claim or action against the Lessee by a third
person as if the Port Authority were the named insured
thereunder; but such provision or endorsement shall not limit,
vary or affect the protections afforded the Port Authority
thereunder as an additional insured.
(ii) The Lessee shall also procure and maintain
in effect, or cause to be procured and maintained in effect
Workers' Compensation Insurance and Employer's Liability
Insurance in accordance with and as required by law.
(iii) The insurance required hereunder in this
subparagraph (11) shall be maintained in effect during the
performance of the Expansion Construction Work. As to the said
insurance a certified copy of the certificate or certificates
or binders, evidencing the existence thereof, shall be
delivered by the Lessee to the Port Authority upon execution
of the Seventeenth Supplemental Agreement to this Lease and
delivery thereof by the Lessee to the Port Authority. Each
policy, certificate or binder delivered as aforesaid shall
bear the endorsement of or be accompanied by evidence of
payment of the premium thereon. In the event a binder is
delivered, it shall be replaced within thirty (30) days by a
certified copy of the policy or a certificate. Each such copy
or certificate shall contain a valid provision or endorsement
that the policy may not be cancelled, terminated, changed or
modified without giving thirty (30) days' written advance
notice thereof to the Port Authority. Each such copy or
certificate shall contain an additional endorsement providing
that the insurance carrier shall not, without obtaining
express advance permission from the General Counsel of the
Port Authority, raise any defense involving in any way the
jurisdiction of the tribunal over the person of the Port
Authority, its Commissioners, officers, agents, or employees,
the immunity of the Port Authority, its Commissioners,
officers, agents or employees, the governmental nature of the
Port Authority or the provisions of any statutes respecting
suits against the Port Authority. Any renewal policy or
certificate shall be delivered to the Port Authority prior to
the expiration of each expiring policy, except for any policy
expiring after the date of expiration of the term of this
Agreement. The aforesaid insurance shall be written by a
company or companies approved by the Port Authority, the Port
Authority agreeing not to withhold its approval unreasonably.
If at any time any of the insurance policies shall be or
become unsatisfactory to the Port Authority as to the form or
substance or if any of the carriers issuing such policies
shall be or become unsatisfactory to the Port Authority, the
Lessee shall promptly obtain a new and satisfactory policy in
replacement, the Port Authority covenanting and agreeing not
to act unreasonably hereunder; the Port Authority agreeing to
provide written notice to the Lessee, upon the written request
of the Lessee, of the reasons it finds such policies or
carriers unsatisfactory. If the Port Authority at any time so
requests, a certified copy of each of the policies shall be
delivered to the Port Authority, provided that the Port
Authority shall keep such policies and the contents thereof
confidential except to the extent (i) required to respond to
a loss, damage, claim or suit or otherwise required by law or
Port Authority policy approved by its Board of Commissioners
from time to time, or (ii) that the policies or the contents
thereof are otherwise available in the public domain.
(12) The Lessee shall be under no obligation to
reimburse the Port Authority for expenses incurred by the Port
Authority in connection with its normal review and approval of
the original plans and specifications submitted by the Lessee
pursuant to this Section, which review and approval process is
generally described in the booklet entitled "Tenant
Construction Review Manual", dated March 1997, a copy of which
the Lessee hereby acknowledges it has received from the Port
Authority. The Lessee however agrees to pay to the Port
Authority upon its demand the expenses incurred by the Port
Authority in connection with any additional review for
approval of any substantial changes in scope or design to the
approved, plans and specifications which may be proposed by
the Lessee for the Port Authority's approval. The expenses of
the Port Authority for any such additional review and approval
shall be computed on the basis of direct payroll time expended
in connection therewith plus 100%. Wherever in this Lease
reference is made to "direct payroll time", costs computed
thereunder shall include a prorata share of the cost to the
Port Authority of providing employee benefits, including, but
not limited to, pensions, hospitalization, medical and life
insurance, vacations and holidays. Such computations shall be
in accordance with the Port Authority's accounting principles
as consistently applied prior to the execution of this Lease.
(13) The Lessee shall prior to the commencement of
construction and at all times during construction submit to
the Port Authority all engineering studies with respect to
construction and samples of construction materials as may be
required at any time and from time to time by the Port
Authority.
(14) The Lessee shall procure and maintain Builder's
Risk (All Risk) Completed Value Insurance covering the
Expansion Construction Work during the performance thereof
including material delivered to the site but not attached to
the realty. Such insurance shall name the Port Authority, the
City of Newark, the Lessee and its contractors and
subcontractors as additional assureds and such policy shall
provide that the loss shall be adjusted with and that the
proceeds shall be payable to the Lessee. Such proceeds shall
be used by the Lessee for the repair, replacement or
rebuilding of the Expansion Construction Work and any excess
shall be paid over to the Port Authority. The policies or
certificates representing insurance covered by this paragraph
(14) shall be delivered by the Lessee to the Port Authority at
least thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of
construction of the Expansion Construction Work, and each
policy or certificate delivered shall bear the endorsement of
or be accompanied by evidence of payment of the premium
thereof and, also, a valid provision obligating the insurance
company to furnish the Port Authority and the City of Newark
thirty (30) days' advance notice of the cancellation,
termination, change or modification of the insurance evidenced
by said policy or certificate. Renewal policies or
certificates shall be delivered to the Port Authority at least
thirty (30) days before the expiration of the insurance which
such policies are to renew.
The insurance covered by this paragraph (14) shall be
written by companies approved by the Port Authority, the Port
Authority covenanting and agreeing not to withhold its
approval unreasonably. If at any time any of the insurance
policies shall be or become unsatisfactory to the Port
Authority as to the form or substance or if any of the
carriers issuing such policies shall be or become
unsatisfactory to the Port Authority, the Lessee shall
promptly obtain a new and satisfactory policy in replacement,
the Port Authority covenanting and agreeing not to act
unreasonably hereunder; the Port Authority agreeing to provide
written notice to the Lessee, upon the written request of the
Lessee, of the reasons it finds such policies or carriers
unsatisfactory. If at any time the Port Authority so
requests, a certified copy of each of the said policies shall
be delivered to the Port Authority, provided that the Port
Authority shall keep such policies and the contents thereof
confidential except to the extent (i) required to respond to
a loss, damage, claim or suit or otherwise required by law or
Port Authority policy approved by its Board of Commissioners
from time to time, or (ii) that the policies or the contents
thereof are otherwise available in the public domain.
(15) The Lessee shall at the time of submitting the
Comprehensive Plan to the Port Authority as provided in
paragraph (a) hereof submit to the Port Authority its
forecasts of the number of people who will be working at
various times during the term of the Lease at the premises or
other areas of the Expansion Construction Work, the expected
utility demands of the premises, noise profiles and such other
information as the Port Authority may require from time to
time and at any time. The Lessee shall continue to submit its
latest forecasts and such other information as may be required
as aforesaid as the Port Authority shall from time to time and
at any time request.
(16) The Lessee shall execute and submit for the Port
Authority's approval a Tenant Construction or Alteration
Application or Applications in the form prescribed by the Port
Authority covering the Expansion Construction Work or portions
thereof (hereinafter collectively called "Construction
Application" or "Construction Applications"). The Lessee
shall comply with all the terms and provisions of the approved
Construction Applications. In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms of any Construction Application and the
terms of the Lease, the terms of this Lease shall prevail and
control.
(17) Nothing contained in this Lease shall grant or
be deemed to grant to any contractor, architect, supplier,
subcontractor or any other person engaged by the Lessee or any
of its contractors in the performance of any part of the
Expansion Construction Work any right or action or claim
against the Port Authority, its Commissioners, officers,
agents and employees with respect to any work any of them may
do in connection with the Expansion Construction Work.
Nothing contained herein shall create or be deemed to create
any relationship between the Port Authority and any such
contractor, architect, supplier, subcontractor or any other
person engaged by the Lessee or any of its contractors in the
performance of any part of the construction and the Port
Authority shall not be responsible to any of the foregoing for
any payments due or alleged to be due thereto for any work
performed or materials purchased in connection with the
Expansion Construction Work.
(18) (i) Without limiting any of the terms and
conditions of this Lease, the Lessee understands and agrees
that it shall put into effect prior to the commencement of any
Expansion Construction Work an affirmative action program and
Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) program and Women-owned
Business Enterprise (WBE) program in accordance with the
provisions of Schedule E (attached to the Seventeenth
Supplemental Agreement to this Lease) and hereby made a part
hereof. As used in Schedule E the term 'construction work'
shall be deemed to include the Expansion Construction Work.
The provisions of said Schedule E of this Lease shall be
applicable to the Lessee's contractor or contractors and
subcontractors at any tier of construction as well as to the
Lessee itself and the Lessee shall include the provisions of
said Schedule E within all of its construction contracts so as
to make said provisions and undertakings the direct obligation
of the construction contractor or contractors and
subcontractors at any tier of construction. The Lessee shall
and shall require its said contractor, contractors and
subcontractors to furnish to the Port Authority such data,
including but not limited to compliance reports relating to
the operation and implementation of the affirmative action,
Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women-owned Business
Enterprise (WBE) programs called for hereunder as the Port
Authority may request at any time and from time to time
regarding the affirmative action, Minority Business
Enterprises (MBE) and Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBE)
programs of the Lessee and its contractor, contractors, and
subcontractors at any tier of construction, and the Lessee
shall and shall also require that its contractor, contractors
and subcontractors at any tier of construction make and put
into effect such modifications and additions thereto as may be
directed by the Port Authority pursuant to the provisions
hereof and said Schedule E to effectuate the goals of
affirmative action and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and
Women-owned Business Enterprise (WBE) programs.
(ii) In addition to and without limiting any terms
and conditions of this Lease, the Lessee shall provide in its
contracts and all subcontracts covering the Expansion
Construction Work or any portion thereof, that:
(aa) The contractor shall not discriminate against
employees and applicants for employment because of race,
creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability or
marital status, and shall undertake or continue existing
programs of affirmative action to ensure that minority
group persons are afforded equal employment opportunity
without discrimination. Such programs shall include, but
not be limited to, recruitment, employment, job
assignment, promotion, upgrading, demotion, transfer,
layoff, termination, rates of pay or other forms of
compensation, and selections for training or retraining,
including apprenticeships and on-the-job training;
(bb) At the request of either the Port Authority or
the Lessee, the contractor shall request such employment
agency, labor union, or authorized representative of
workers with which it has a collective bargaining or other
agreement or understanding and which is involved in the
performance of the contract with the Lessee to furnish a
written statement that such employment agency, labor union
or representative shall not discriminate because of race,
creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability or
marital status and that such union or representative will
cooperate in the implementation of the contractor's
obligations hereunder;
(cc) The contractor will state, in all solicitations
or advertisements foremployees placed by or on behalf of
the contractor in the performance of the contract, that
all qualified applicants will be afforded equal employment
opportunity without discrimination because of race, creed,
color, national origin, sex, age, disability or marital
status;
(dd) The contractor will include the provisions of
subparagraphs (aa) through (cc) of this paragraph in every
subcontract or purchase order in such a manner that such
provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or
vendor as to its work in connection with the contract;
(ee) "Contractor" as used herein shall include each
contractor and subcontractor at any tier of construction.
(19) (i) The Lessee understands that there may be
communications and utility lines and conduits located on or
under the areas of the Expansion Construction Work which do
not, and may not in the future, serve the premises. The
Lessee agrees at its sole cost and expense, if directed by the
Port Authority so to do:
(A) within a reasonable period of time following
notice to or from the Port Authority of the existence
thereof (with respect to those of which the Lessee
notifies the Port Authority or the Port Authority notifies
the Lessee), but in no event later than the issuance of
the certificate called for in paragraph (n) (1) hereof;
(B) prior to the issuance of the certificate called
for in paragraph (n) (1) hereof (with respect to those of
which the Lessee does not have knowledge prior to the
issuance of the certificate called for in paragraph (n)(1)
hereof); or
(C) within a reasonable period of time following the
Port Authority becoming aware of the existence thereof
(with respect to those of which the Lessee has knowledge
prior to the issuance of the certificate called for in
paragraph (n)(1) hereof but does not notify the Port
Authority;
to relocate and reinstall such communication and utility lines
and conduits on the premises or off the premises as directed
by the Port Authority and to restore all affected areas (such
work being hereinafter collectively called "the relocation
work"); provided that nothing in this subparagraph (i) shall
limit the provisions of the following subparagraph (ii). The
Lessee shall perform the relocation work subject to and in
accordance with all the terms and provisions of this Section
93 and the relocation work shall be and become a part of the
Expansion Construction Work, it being understood, however,
that the relocation work shall not be or become a part of the
premises hereunder.
(ii) Prior to the commencement of any of the
Expansion Construction Work, the Lessee shall coordinate
the Expansion Construction Work with the Location of
Subsurface Utilities toll free information service
(1-800-272-1000) and ascertain the location of
underground utilities, if any, at the premises or other
area of any Expansion Construction Work. The Lessee
shall provide the Port Authority with written evidence of
such coordination.
(e) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
(f) The Lessee may wish to commence construction of
portions of the Expansion Construction Work prior to the
approval by the Port Authority of its plans and specifications
pursuant to paragraph (c) hereof, and if it does it shall
submit a written request to the Port Authority setting forth
the work it proposes then to do. The Port Authority shall
have full and complete discretion as to whether or not to
permit the Lessee to proceed with any portion of the Expansion
Construction Work. If the Port Authority has no objection to
the Lessee's proceeding with any of the aforementioned work,
it shall do so by writing a letter to the Lessee to such
effect. If the Lessee performs the work covered by said
letter it agrees all such work shall be performed subject to
and in accordance with all of the provisions of the approval
letter and subject to and in accordance with the following
terms and conditions:
(1) The performance by the Lessee of the work
covered by any request as aforesaid will be, as between the
Lessee and the Port Authority, at the Lessee's sole risk and
if for any reason the plans and specifications for the
Expansion Construction Work are not approved by the Port
Authority or if the approval thereof calls for modifications
or changes in the work undertaken by the Lessee under any
approval granted by the Port Authority pursuant to this
paragraph (f), the Lessee will, as directed by the Port
Authority, at its sole cost and expense, either restore the
area affected to the condition existing prior to the
commencement of any such work or make such modifications and
changes in any such work as may be required by the Port
Authority.
(2) Nothing contained in any approval hereunder
shall constitute a determination or indication by the Port
Authority that the Lessee has complied with the applicable
governmental laws, ordinances, enactments, resolutions, rules
and orders, including but not limited to those of the City of
Newark, which may pertain to the work to be performed.
(3) The approved work will be performed in
accordance with and subject to the terms, indemnities and
provisions of the Lease covering the Expansion Construction
Work and with the terms and conditions of any Construction
Application which the Port Authority may request the Lessee to
submit even though such Construction Application may not have,
at the time of the approval under this paragraph (f), been
approved by the Port Authority. In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms of any Construction
Application and the terms of this Lease, the terms of this
Lease shall prevail and control.
(4) No work under any such approval shall
affect or limit the obligations of the Lessee under all prior
approvals with respect to its construction of the Expansion
Construction Work.
(5) The Lessee shall comply with all
requirements, stipulations and provisions as may be set forth
in the letters of approval.
(6) In the event that the Lessee shall at any
time during the construction of any portion of the Expansion
Construction Work under the approval granted by the Port
Authority pursuant to this paragraph (f) fail, in the opinion
of the General Manager of the Airport, to comply with all of
the provisions of this Lease with respect to the Expansion
Construction Work, the Construction Application or the
approval letter covering the same or be, in the opinion of the
General Manager, in breach of any of the provisions of this
Lease, the Construction Application or the approval letter
covering the same, the Port Authority shall have the right,
acting through said General Manager to cause the Lessee to
cease all or such part of the Expansion Construction Work as
is being performed in violation of this Lease, the
Construction Application or the approval letter. Upon such
written direction from the General Manager specifying such
non-compliance or breach (and without limiting any other
rights or remedies of the Port Authority hereunder or
otherwise) the Lessee shall promptly cease construction of the
portion of the Expansion Construction Work specified. The
Lessee shall thereupon submit to the Port Authority for its
written approval the Lessee's proposal for making
modifications, corrections or changes in or to the Expansion
Construction Work that has been or is to be performed so that
the same will comply with the provisions of this Lease, the
Construction Application and the approval letter covering the
Expansion Construction Work. The Lessee shall not commence
construction of the portion of the Expansion Construction Work
that has been halted until such written approval has been
received.
(7) It is hereby expressly understood and
agreed that neither the field engineer covered by paragraph
(g) hereof nor the Resident Engineer of the Port Authority at
the Airport has any authority to approve any plans and
specifications of the Lessee with respect to the Expansion
Construction Work, to approve the construction by the Lessee
of any portion of the Expansion Construction Work or to agree
to any variation by the Lessee from compliance with the terms
of this Lease, or the Construction Application or the approval
letter with respect to the Expansion Construction Work.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the field engineer or
the Resident Engineer give any directions or approvals with
respect to the Lessee's performance of any portion of the
Expansion Construction Work which are contrary to the
provisions of this Lease, the Construction Application or the
approval letter, said directions or approvals shall not affect
the obligations of the Lessee as set forth herein nor release
or relieve the Lessee from the strict compliance therewith.
It is hereby further understood and agreed that the Port
Authority has no duty or obligation of any kind whatsoever to
inspect or police the performance of the Expansion
Construction Work by the Lessee and the rights granted to the
Port Authority hereunder shall not create or be deemed to
create such a duty or obligation. Accordingly, the fact that
the General Manager has not exercised the Port Authority's
right to require the Lessee to cease its construction of all
or any part of the Expansion Construction Work shall not be or
be deemed to be an agreement or acknowledgment on the part of
the Port Authority that the Lessee has in fact performed such
portion of the Expansion Construction Work in accordance with
the terms of the Lease, the Construction Application or the
approval letter nor shall such fact be or be deemed to be a
waiver by the Port Authority from the requirement of strict
compliance by the Lessee with the provisions of the Lease, the
Construction Application and the approval letter with respect
to the Expansion Construction Work.
(8) Without limiting the discretion of the Port
Authority hereunder, the Port Authority hereby specifically
advises the Lessee that even if the Port Authority hereafter
in the exercise of its discretion wishes to grant approvals
under this paragraph (f), it may be unable to do so, so as to
permit the Lessee to continue work without interruption
following its completion of the work covered by any prior
approval hereunder. The Lessee hereby acknowledges that if it
commences work pursuant to this paragraph (f), it shall do so
with full knowledge that there may not be continuity by it in
the performance of its Expansion Construction Work under the
procedures of this paragraph (f).
(9) No prior approval of any work in connection
with the Expansion Construction Work shall create or be deemed
to create any obligation on the part of the Port Authority to
permit subsequent work to be performed in connection with such
Expansion Construction Work prior to the approval by the Port
Authority of the Lessee's complete plans and specifications
thereof. It is understood that no such prior approval shall
release or relieve the Lessee from its obligation to submit
complete plans and specifications for the Expansion
Construction Work and to obtain the Port Authority's approval
of the same as set forth in paragraph (c) hereof. It is
further understood that in the event the Lessee elects not to
continue to seek further approval letter(s) pursuant to this
paragraph (f), the obligations of the Lessee to restore the
area and to make modifications and changes as set forth in
subparagraph (1) above shall be suspended until the Lessee's
submission of its complete plans and specifications in
accordance with paragraph (c) hereof.
(g) The Lessee will give the Port Authority fifteen (15)
days' notice prior to the commencement of construction. The
Port Authority will assign to the Expansion Construction Work
a full time field engineer or engineers. The Lessee shall pay
to the Port Authority for the services of said engineer or
engineers the sum of Seven Hundred Dollars and No Cents
($700.00) for each day that the engineer or engineers are so
assigned during the 1999 calendar year, and for each and every
calendar year thereafter, the rate that the Port Authority
shall charge Aircraft Operators, or others, for the services
of such engineer or engineers during such calendar years for
each day or part thereof that the engineer or engineers are so
assigned. Nothing contained herein shall affect any of the
provisions of paragraph (n) hereof or the rights of the Port
Authority hereunder. This agreement for the services of said
field engineer may be revoked at any time by either party on
thirty (30) days' written notice to the other, but if revoked
by the Lessee it shall continue during the period construction
under any partial approvals pursuant to paragraph (f) hereof
is performed.
(h) The Expansion Construction Work shall be constructed
in such a manner as to minimize (considering the nature of the
Lessee's operations and the Expansion Construction Work) air
pollution, water pollution or any other type of pollution and
noise emanating from, arising out of or resulting from the
operation, use or maintenance thereof by the Lessee and from
the operations of the Lessee under this Agreement.
Accordingly, and in addition to all other obligations imposed
on the Lessee under this Agreement and without diminishing,
limiting, modifying or affecting any of the same, the Lessee
shall be obligated to construct as part of the Expansion
Construction Work hereunder such structures, fences,
equipment, devices and other facilities as may be reasonably
necessary or appropriate to accomplish the foregoing and each
of the foregoing shall be and become a part of Expansion
Construction Work it affects and all of the foregoing shall be
covered under the Comprehensive Plan of the Lessee submitted
under paragraph (a) hereof and shall be part of the Expansion
Construction Work hereunder. The obligations assumed by the
Lessee under this paragraph (h) are a special inducement and
consideration to the Port Authority in granting this Lease to
the Lessee.
(i) Title to the Expansion Construction Work which is
located within the territorial limits of the City of Newark
shall pass to the City of Newark as the same or any part
thereof is erected upon or under or affixed to the land or to
any existing structures and the Expansion Construction Work
shall be and become part of the premises under the Lease if
located within the premises hereunder (except for the items
covered in subparagraph (b) (1) (ii) of this Section 93 which
shall become part of the Fuel System, and except for any
personal property of the Lessee as described in Section 34
hereof); and title to such part, if any, of the Expansion
Construction Work which is located within the territorial
limits of the City of Xxxxxxxxx shall vest in the Port
Authority as the same or any part of thereof is erected upon
or under or affixed to the land or to any existing structures
and said Expansion Construction Work shall be and become part
of the premises under the Lease if located within the premises
hereunder (except for the items covered in subparagraph (b)
(1) (ii) of this Section 93 which shall become part of the
Fuel System, and except for any personal property of the
Lessee as described in Section 34 hereof); provided, however,
that title to the Schedule 1 Terminal Fixtures shall pass to
the Port Authority as provided in paragraph 53 of Supplement
No. 17 to the Lease.
(j) The parties acknowledge that the Lessee will be
continuing its operations at the existing premises under the
Lease during the period of time it is performing the Expansion
Construction Work hereunder. The Lessee further acknowledges
that this may involve among other things inconvenience, noise,
dust, interference and disturbance to the Lessee in its
operations at the premises as well as to its customers,
patrons, invitees and employees and possibly other risks as
well. As between the Lessee and the Port Authority, the
Lessee hereby expressly assumes all of the foregoing risks and
agrees that there will be no reduction or abatement of any of
the rentals, fees or charges payable by the Lessee under the
Lease or otherwise on account of its performance of the
Expansion Construction Work and that the performance of the
Expansion Construction Work shall not constitute an eviction
or constructive eviction of the Lessee nor be grounds for any
abatement of rentals, fees or charges payable by the Lessee
under the Lease or otherwise nor give rise to or be the basis
of any claim or demand by the Lessee against the Port
Authority, its Commissioners, officers, employees or agents
for damages, consequential or otherwise, under this Lease or
otherwise.
(k) (1) The Lessee acknowledges that the Port Authority
as well as other users, lessees, tenants, airport patrons and
invitees and others will be continuing their airport
operations in other portions of the Central Terminal Area of
the Airport ("CTA") during the period of time the Lessee is
performing the Expansion Construction Work hereunder and that
this will involve among other things inconvenience, noise,
dust, interference and disturbance to said airport operations
and possibly other risks as well. As between the Lessee and
the Port Authority, the Lessee hereby expressly assumes all of
the foregoing risks. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Lessee shall and expressly hereby agrees to perform, and to
require each of its contractors and subcontractors to perform,
the Expansion Construction Work and each portion thereof in
such a manner so as to minimize the impact and any disruption
resulting therefrom on said airport operations and on
passenger and traffic control and passenger and traffic flow
in the CTA. The Lessee shall, without limiting any other term
or provision hereof, communicate and cooperate (and require
each of its contractors to communicate and cooperate) with the
Port Authority and with each of the affected CTA users,
lessees, tenants, airport patrons, invitees and others in all
aspects of the Expansion Construction Work, and the Lessee
shall coordinate and work in harmony with all said persons and
Port Authority contractors. The Lessee shall include in each
of its contracts and subcontracts covering the Expansion
Construction Work or any portion thereof the foregoing
requirements for minimization of disruption and for contractor
cooperation, harmony and coordination.
(2) Without limiting the foregoing or any other term
or provision of this Agreement, with respect to those portions
of the Expansion Construction Work which will or may affect or
impact the Fuel System, the Lessee hereby expressly recognizes
the importance of the Fuel System to the operation of the
Airport and to all aircraft operations thereat and the
critical need to protect the same and the integrity of the
fuel in the Fuel System, and the Lessee shall use the highest
degree of safety and care in its design and performance of the
portions of the Expansion Construction Work which will or may
affect or impact the Fuel System, and the Lessee shall use its
best efforts and the highest degree of care and safety, and
shall require its contractors to use the highest degree of
care and safety and their best efforts, to coordinate and work

engineer, as aforesaid, a certificate to such effect shall be
delivered to the Lessee, subject to the condition that, as
between the Lessee and the Port Authority, all risks
thereafter with respect to the construction and installation
of the same and any liability therefor for negligence or other
reason shall be borne by the Lessee. The Lessee shall not use
or permit the use of the Expansion Construction Work or any
portion thereof for the purposes set forth in the Lease until
such certificate is received from the Port Authority and the
Lessee shall not use or permit the use of the Expansion
Construction Work or any portion thereof even if such

pursuant to subparagraph (1) of this paragraph.
(3) In addition to and without affecting the

Port Authority may in its sole discretion deliver a
certificate to the Lessee with respect to each such portion of
the Expansion Construction Work permitting the Lessee to use
such portion thereof for the purposes set forth in the Lease.
In such event the Lessee may use such portion subject to the
condition that all risks thereafter with respect to the
construction and installation of the same and any liability
therefor for negligence or other reason shall be borne by the
Lessee, and subject to the risks as set forth in paragraph (f)

such portion of the Expansion Construction Work which it had
been using pursuant to permission granted in this subparagraph

(4) In addition to and without affecting the
obligations of the Lessee under the preceding
subparagraphs (1), (2) and (3), the Lessee may request that
the Port Authority issue a final certificate under

separate component of the Expansion Construction Work which
has been substantially completed and which can be used
independently from any portion of the Expansion Construction
Work for which the Port Authority shall not have issued a
certificate under this paragraph (n). Such request shall be
accompanied by certificates from the Lessee, signed by an
authorized officer of the Lessee and also signed by the
Lessee's licensed architect or engineer, certifying, with
respect to said component, all of the matters as described in
the preceding subparagraph (3). In the event that the Port
Authority agrees with the Lessee's determination that such
distinct and separate component of the Expansion Construction
Work can be used independently from any portion of the
Expansion Construction Work for which the Port Authority shall
not have theretofore issued a certificate under this
subparagraph (n), said component of the Expansion Construction
Work will be inspected by the Port Authority and, if the same
has been constructed to substantial completion as certified by
the Lessee and the Lessee's licensed architect or engineer,
the Port Authority shall deliver to the Lessee a final
certificate under and subject to the provisions of paragraph
(n)(1) hereof with respect to such component of the Expansion
Construction Work permitting the use thereof for the purposes
set forth in the Lease. In such event the Lessee may use such
component subject to the condition that all risks thereafter
with respect to the construction and installation of the same
and any liability therefor for negligence or other reason
shall be borne by the Lessee, and subject to the risks as set
forth in paragraph (f) hereof in the event that the Port
Authority shall not have then approved the complete plans and
specifications for the Expansion Construction Work."

promptly obtain a new and satisfactory in

provide written notice to the Lessee, upon the
written request of the Lessee, of the reasons it
finds such policies or companies unsatisfactory
and further covenanting and agreeing not to act
unreasonably hereunder."

the Trustee (as defined in Section 96), to the extent of
available insurance proceeds which the Port Authority is
entitled to retain as its own, if any, under the Basic
Lease, or which the City of Newark consents to the Port
Authority retaining or utilizing for such purpose, an
amount which, together with any reserves or similar
amounts available for such purpose, would be sufficient to
redeem at that time the then-outstanding Bonds and
Additional Bonds (as such terms are defined in Section 96)
issued in connection with the Expansion Construction Work,
in proportion to the portion of the Expansion Construction
Work that cannot be so rebuilt, were such Bonds and
Additional Bonds to be redeemed at that time, which amount
shall be applied against such Bonds and Additional Bonds
in accordance with their payment terms; provided, however,
that the provisions of the Indenture (as defined in
Section 96) shall govern as to whether the Bonds and
Additional Bonds or any portion thereof are required
actually to be redeemed at that time."

the number of full years remaining in the
balance of the term, provided, however, that if
only a portion of a year in addition to a number
of full years remains in the balance of the
term, an amount shall be added to the product
determined hereinabove which amount shall be
equal to the product resulting from multiplying
the aforementioned tentative Airport Services

days in the year, and".
(c) Subparagraph (3) of paragraph (b) of Section 27 of the

Cost under Section 85 hereof less the amount thereof payable
prior to the effective date of termination, except that the
credit to be allowed for the amount attributable to the
installment payable on the first day of the month in which the
termination is effective shall be prorated for the part of the
month the letting remains in effect or the actual number of
days in such month."
(e) Section 27 of the Lease is hereby further amended by
adding at the end thereof the following new paragraphs "(c)" "(d)"
and "(e)" reading as follows:
"(c) In addition to and without limiting the
foregoing or any other right, claim or remedy of the
Port Authority, legal or equitable, under this Lease
or otherwise, in the event this Lease shall be
terminated pursuant to Section 24 hereof and the
Lessee shall not have completed the Expansion
Construction Work, as defined in Section 93 hereof,
or any portion thereof, within the time period(s)
specified in paragraph (d) (2) of Section 93 hereof,
the Lessee shall and hereby agrees to pay to the
Port Authority any and all amounts, costs and
expenses, of any type whatsoever, paid or incurred
by the Port Authority by reason of the failure of
the Lessee so to complete the Expansion Construction
Work, or any portion thereof, including without
limitation all interest, completion and other costs,
damages, direct, indirect and consequential, losses
and penalties, and all of the same shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement and
shall be deemed treated as survived damages
hereunder in addition to the foregoing.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained,
all of the obligations of the Lessee under this Lease with
respect to Environmental Damages and Environmental
Requirements shall survive the expiration or termination
of this Agreement.
(e) Without limiting any of the foregoing, the Port Authority
may at any time bring an action to recover all the damages
as set forth above not previously recovered in separate
actions, or it may bring separate actions to recover the
items of damages set forth in subparagraphs (1), (2), (3)
and (4) of paragraph (b) above and separate actions
periodically to recover from time to time only such
portion of the damages set forth in subparagraphs (1) and
(2) of paragraph (b) above as would have accrued as Base
Annual Rental and Area C-3 rental up to the time of the
action if there had been no termination or cancellation.
In any such action the Lessee shall be allowed a credit
against its survived damages obligations equal to the
amounts which the Port Authority shall have actually
received from any tenant, licensee, permittee or other
occupier of the premises or a part thereof during the
period for which damages are sought, and if recovery is
sought for a period subsequent to the date of suit a
credit equal to the market rental value of the premises
during such period (discounted to reflect the then present
value thereof). If at the time of such action the Port
Authority has used and occupied or relet the premises, the
rental for the premises obtained through such use and
occupancy or reletting shall be deemed to be the market
rental value of the premises or be deemed to be the basis
for computing such market rental value if less than the
entire premises were used or occupied or relet. In no
event shall any credit allowed to the Lessee against its
damages for any period exceed the then present value of
the annual rental which would have been payable under this
Agreement during such period if a termination or
cancellation had not taken place."
23. The last three (3) lines of Section 30 of the Lease shall
be deemed amended to read as follows:
"promptly and in as good condition as of the
commencement of the letting thereof (such
commencement in the case of new construction
being as of the completion thereof), except for
(1) reasonable wear and tear resulting from the
use of the premises to the extent permitted
elsewhere in this Agreement or (2) conditions
solely due to the aging of the premises, which
reasonable wear and tear or aging do not
adversely affect in any material manner the
efficient utilization of the premises or
adversely affect the proper utilization of the
premises for the purposes permitted hereunder or
the water-tightness or structural integrity of
the premises), but not resulting from any delay
or failure to maintain and repair hereunder. In
addition, all of the premises shall be free and
clear of all liens, encumbrances, and security
interests created by the Lessee, its sublessees,
contractors, subcontractors, or other persons
acting through, under or on behalf of the
Lessee.
In addition to and without limiting the
foregoing, it is recognized the expiration date of
the Area C-3 portion of the premises (as set forth
in Supplement No. 17 of the Lease) is March 31, 2028
and that the expiration date of the C-1 and C-2
portions of the premises is March 31, 2013, and it
is hereby understood and agreed, with respect to any
systems serving or common to both Area C-3 and the
C-1 and C-2 portions of the premises, that it shall
be the obligation of the Lessee, at its sole cost
and expense, to perform and complete, prior to said
March 31, 2013 expiration date, all alteration and
other work necessary or appropriate (subject to
Section 23 hereof) to separate each such system so
as to enable each such system to operate
independently in Area C-3, and that the Port
Authority will require any new tenant or lessee in
the C-1 and C-2 portions of the premises to perform
such work in its leasehold in the C-1 and C-2
portions of the premises. "
24. Section 33 of the Lease shall be deemed amended by adding
at the end thereof the following two (2) new subparagraphs reading
as follows:
"The Port Authority agrees that during the term
of the letting hereunder the Port Authority will
not take any action the taking of which, or omit
to take any action the failure of which to take,
would amount to or have the effect of canceling,
surrendering, terminating, modifying or amending
the Basic Lease prior to the date specified in
the Basic Lease for its expiration insofar as
such cancellation, surrender, termination,
modification, or amendment would in any manner
deprive the Lessee of any of its rights,
licenses or privileges under this Agreement.
Nothing herein shall prevent the Port Authority
from entering into an agreement with the City of
Newark pursuant to which the Basic Lease is
surrendered, cancelled or terminated provided
that the City of Newark, at the time of such
agreement, assumes the obligations of the Port
Authority under this Agreement."
25. Paragraph (d) of Section 36 of the Lease shall be deemed
amended by inserting at the end thereof the following:
"Subject to Section 12(p)(2) of the Lease, the
Lessee hereby further agrees to relieve the Port
Authority from and to assume all responsibility for
any and all risks, costs and expenses of any kind
whatsoever caused by, arising out of or in
connection with, the condition of the premises and
all parts thereof whether any aspect of such
condition existed prior to, on or after the
applicable effective date of the letting of each
part of the premises hereunder, including without
limitation all Environmental Requirements and
Environmental Damages, and to indemnify and hold
harmless the Port Authority for all such risks,
responsibilities, costs and expenses. If so
directed, the Lessee shall at its own expense defend
any suit based upon any such claim or demand (even
if such suit, claim or demand is groundless, false
or fraudulent), and in handling such it shall not,
without obtaining express advance written permission
from the General Counsel of the Port Authority,
raise any defense involving in any way the
jurisdiction of the tribunal over the person of the
Port Authority, the immunity of the Port Authority,
its Commissioners, officers, agents or employees,
the governmental nature of the Port Authority, or
the provisions of any statutes respecting suits
against the Port Authority. It is hereby understood
and agreed that whenever reference is made in this
Lease to the condition of the premises as of the
commencement of the term thereof, the same shall be
deemed to mean the condition of the premises as of
the applicable commencement date of the letting of
each part of the premises under this Lease, and as
to the improvements made and the alteration work
performed during the term of the Lease in the
condition existing after the completion of the same.
All the obligations of the Lessee under this Section
with respect to responsibilities, risks, costs and
expenses assumed by the Lessee shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Lease."
26. The last three (3) sentences of Section 37 of the Lease,
as previously amended, are hereby further amended to read as

"Until further notice, the Port Authority hereby

such notices and requests to the Lessee's General
Counsel at Continental Airlines, Inc., X.X.
Xxx 0000, XXXXX, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000-0000.

deemed to be a breach of this Agreement, or impair
or affect the validity of the notice or request
actually given."
27. Paragraph (c) of Section 38 of the Lease shall be deemed
amended by inserting after the word "Authority" on the eighth (8th)
line thereof the following:

performance without interruption)".

without the consent of the Leasehold Mortgagee
(as defined in Section 96 hereof) so long as the
Leasehold Mortgage or the Reletting Rights (as
defined in said Section 96) of the Leasehold
Mortgagee remain in effect".
35. The Lease is hereby amended to add the following Section
61A immediately following Section 61 of the Lease as herein
amended:
"Section 61A. Effect of Termination by Lessee
(a) If the Lessee terminates the letting pursuant to the
provisions of Section 61(a)(1), subject to the proviso at the
end of Section 61(c) hereof, then the Port Authority may, at
its option, pay to the Lessee the amount of the Lessee's
investment in the premises (excluding any investment by the
Port Authority and further excluding any personal property)
arising out of the performance of the Expansion Construction
Work pursuant to and as set forth in Section 93 of the Lease,
after deducting therefrom an amount equivalent to an allowance
for depreciation and amortization to be computed on a
straight-line basis over a period equal to the applicable
lease term hereunder, not taking into consideration the effect
of any accelerated amortization granted to or taken by the
Lessee on its books or otherwise under any applicable law (for
purposes of this Section 61A, the "Unamortized Capital
Investment"). For purposes of this Section 61A, the Lessee's
investment in the premises arising out of the performance of
the Expansion Construction Work shall be limited to that
portion of the amount of the Bonds (as defined in
Section 96(a)(8) of the Lease) allocated to the Expansion
Construction Work and the Lessee's out-of-pocket payments to
third parties and other direct costs relating to the Expansion
Construction Work. Such option shall be evidenced by notice
in writing to the Lessee by the Port Authority within sixty
(60) days after the Lessee has given notice of termination.
The failure of the Port Authority to exercise the said option
will impose no obligation upon it to relet the premises.
(b) If the Lessee terminates the letting pursuant to the
provisions of Section 61(a)(2), subject to the proviso at the
end of Section 61(c), then the Port Authority may, at its
option, pay to the Lessee the Unamortized Capital Investment,
if any. Such option shall be evidenced by notice in writing
to the Lessee by the Port Authority within sixty (60) days
after the Lessee has given notice of termination. If the Port
Authority fails to exercise such option, then the Port
Authority shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet
the premises.
(c) Subject to Section 96 hereof, if the Port Authority
relets the premises prior to the date upon which this
Agreement would have expired but for such termination, then
the net rent paid by the new tenant(s) to the Port Authority
(after deducting any costs or expenses incurred by the Port
Authority in securing said new tenant(s) and in complying with
the terms of this Agreement to such tenant(s), including but
not limited to the costs of alteration and decoration of such
premises, in the event of termination pursuant to the
provisions of Section 61(a)(1), and after deducting any costs
or expenses incurred by the Port Authority for any new
improvements to said premises made by the Port Authority prior
to the date of such termination, the maintenance of said
premises, or services furnished to the new tenant, and after
deducting the amounts which would have been payable as rent by
the Lessee but for such termination) shall be paid over by the
Port Authority to the Lessee until said amounts paid over
equal the Unamortized Capital Investment of the Lessee in the
premises as of the date of termination. The obligation of the
Port Authority to pay over to the Lessee any net rent received
from such new tenant(s) shall endure only while such new
tenant(s) continues to pay rent and occupy such premises, and
only while the Unamortized Capital Investment of the Lessee in
such premises is unamortized, and in no event is such
obligation to pay over to endure beyond the date upon which
this Agreement would have expired but for such termination.
(d) The Lessee shall, with respect to its investment in
the premises arising out of the performance of the Expansion
Construction Work, maintain at all times during the term of
this Agreement and for two (2) years after the termination
thereof, in accordance with accepted accounting practice,
records and books of account, such records and books to be
available for audit and inspection by the Port Authority, its
representatives and employees upon request at all reasonable

condition that the Lessee shall pay to the Port Authority all
travel costs and expenses as determined by the Port Authority
for Port Authority auditors and other representatives in
connection with an audit at locations outside the Port of New
York District, the Lessee may maintain said records and books
and make them available to the Port Authority at the Lessee's

is imposed on or collected from such passengers,
guests or invitees, be obtained by the Lessee from an
Operator who has been authorized by the Port Authority
to operate establishments for the sale of food,
alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and similar
items for consumption in passenger terminal facilities
at the Airport; provided that as to any such item
which is supplied to said passengers, guests or
invitees in such club rooms and at no charge by the
Lessee (or any sublessee) or the operator, no fee
shall apply to such item. All monies paid or payable
to the Operator for such sales shall be included in
the gross receipts of the Operator. In the event the
Lessee wishes to use its own personnel for serving
food, alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages and similar
items it may do so; provided that where a charge or
other money payment for such item or items is imposed
on or collected from such passengers, guests or
invitees the food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic
beverages are obtained by the Lessee from an Operator

uses its own personnel for serving food, alcoholic or
non-alcoholic beverages and similar items where a
charge or other money payment for such item or items
is imposed on or collected from its passengers, guests
or invitees, the Lessee will pay a fee to the Port
Authority as shall be specified by the Port Authority

or non-alcoholic beverages and similar items were
served by the Operator."

of each succeeding calendar year in the event that for
reasons within the Lessee's control the Lessee's Basic
Schedules for the immediately preceding calendar year for
the Airport are less than sixty percent (60%) of the
Lessee's Commencement Basic Schedules or (ii) as of
January 1, 1999 and as of January 1 of each succeeding

Port Authority shall have the right, upon six (6) months'
prior written notice to the Lessee, to require the
Lessee, and the Lessee hereby agrees, to make available
Gate Accommodations (as hereinafter defined) at the
premises as directed by the Port Authority, to Scheduled
Aircraft Operators (as said term is defined in Section 72
hereof) and also including Scheduled Commuter Aircraft
Operators (hereinafter in this Section 69 collectively
called the "Scheduled Aircraft Operators"). For purposes
of this Section 69, upon the expiration or termination of
the term of the letting of the C-1 and C-2 portions of
the premises under the Lease, the term "Lessee's
Commencement Basic Schedules" shall be replaced by the
term "Lessee's Concourse C-3 Commencement Basic
Schedule."
(2) The Lessee shall make such Gate Accommodations
available from time to time during the entire period
commencing on the effective date set forth in the aforesaid
notice and ending when the Lessee's Basic Schedules for a
calendar year, determined in accordance with the foregoing
shall have been sixty percent (60%) or more of the Lessee's
Commencement Basic Schedules (hereinafter called "a period of
underutilization"). The term "Gate Accommodations" as used in
this Section 69 shall mean aircraft ramp and gate position
capacity and related passenger terminal facilities including,
but not limited to passenger ticketing, passenger check-in,
baggage handling systems and flight information systems,
passenger lounge and waiting areas and appropriate signage and

non-exclusive use of gate positions and other related
facilities to Scheduled Aircraft Operators pursuant to
handling agreements (as described in Section 72 (o) hereof)
between the Lessee and any such Scheduled Aircraft Operator
(hereinafter called 'the Handled Airline').
(3) As of the first (1st) day of the seventh (7th)
calendar month following the issuance of the certificate
called for in paragraph (n)(1) of Section 93 of the Lease, in
the event that the daily average number of passengers
processed through the FIS facilities for the immediately
preceding six (6) calendar months is less than sixty percent
(60%) of the Lessee's FIS Basic Schedule, then the Port
Authority shall have the right, upon six (6) months' prior
written notice to the Lessee, to require the Lessee, and the
Lessee hereby agrees, to make available FIS Accommodations (as
hereinafter defined; Gate Accommodations and FIS
Accommodations being sometimes collectively referred to herein
as "Accommodations") at the premises as directed by the Port
Authority, to Scheduled Aircraft Operators (as said term is
defined in Section 72 hereof) and also including Scheduled
Commuter Aircraft Operators (hereinafter in this Section 69
collectively called the 'Scheduled Aircraft Operators').
(4) The Lessee shall make such FIS Accommodations
available from time to time during the entire period
commencing on the effective date set forth in the aforesaid
notice and ending when the Lessee's daily average number of
passengers processed through the FIS facilities for the
immediately preceding six (6) calendar months shall have been
sixty percent (60%) or more of the Lessee's FIS Basic
Schedules (hereinafter called "a period of underutilization").
The term "FIS Accommodations" as used in this Section 69 shall
mean aircraft ramp and gate position capacity and related
passenger terminal facilities including, but not limited to
use of the FIS facilities, passenger ticketing, passenger
check-in, baggage handling systems and flight information
systems, passenger lounge and waiting areas and appropriate
signage and public identification. Such FIS Accommodations
may be accomplished by the Lessee by making available and
providing non-exclusive use of gate positions and other
related facilities to Scheduled Aircraft Operators.
(5) The Lessee shall negotiate in good faith the terms of
any such Accommodations with the Handled Airline; provided,
however, in no event shall the Lessee be required to provide
Accommodations for a rental that is less than the total costs
(including a pro rata share of construction, financing and
operations and maintenance costs) of providing such
Accommodations. Without limiting any other term or provision
of this Lease, each such handling agreement shall be subject
to the prior and continuing approval of the Port Authority and
the execution among the Port Authority, the Lessee, and the
Handled Airline of a form of consent agreement prepared by the
Port Authority. Moreover, and without limiting the foregoing,
the Lessee will at all times keep the Port Authority informed
and advised and will consult with the Port Authority from time
to time as to all aspects of its Accommodations of Scheduled
Aircraft Operators hereunder.
(6) It is understood furthermore that the
Accommodations contemplated hereunder may involve the use
of subleases of exclusive areas of the premises in
addition to or in lieu of handling agreements. Without
limiting any other term or provision of this Lease, any
sublease with a Scheduled Aircraft Operator (hereinafter
called a "Section 69 Sublessee Airline") will similarly
be subject to the prior and continuing approval of the
Port Authority and the execution of a consent agreement
prepared by the Port Authority, and executed by the Port
Authority, the Lessee and the Section 69 Sublessee
Airline. Nothing contained herein shall in any way
affect the discretion of the Port Authority in granting
or withholding its consent to a handling agreement or a
sublease with a Section 69 Sublessee Airline, proposed by
the Lessee or directed by the Port Authority whether or
not during a period of underutilization, and, without
limiting Section 77 or any other term hereof, such
consent may contain such terms and conditions including
but not limited to such financial or other conditions
which may include a fixed charge or a charge based upon
a percentage of the Lessee's gross receipts arising
therefrom, as the Port Authority may, at that time,
elect, and all provisions of the Lease requiring the
prior written consent or approval of the Port Authority
and requiring the payment by the Lessee of the handling
percentage fees and the subletting percentage fees shall
in no way be waived, impaired, limited or affected.
(7) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein the Lessee understands and agrees that
the Lessee shall not perform any services and functions
pursuant to any handling agreement or sublease with a
Handled Airline or a Section 69 Sublessee Airline with
respect to which the Port Authority has specifically
withheld consent and approval in the consent agreement to
such handling agreement or sublease. The Handled Airline
and the Section 69 Sublessee Airline may either perform
said services and functions themselves or use the
services of the authorized service organization,
including but not limited to in-flight caterers, aircraft
fuelers, and ramp handlers performing such services or
functions at the Airport. The Lessee however may make
the necessary arrangements with the authorized service
organization performing such services and functions at
the Airport to have such services and functions performed
for the Handled Airline or the Section 69 Sublessee
Airline.
(8) Without limiting any Section, term or provision
of the Lease, the Lessee shall, with respect to each and
every handling agreement, sublease or other agreement
covering any Accommodations, maintain in accordance with
accepted accounting practice during the term of this
Agreement and for one year thereafter and for such period
until the Lessee shall receive written permission from
the Port Authority to do otherwise, records and books of
account recording all transactions, at through or in
anywise connected with said handling agreements,
subleases and other agreements and shall use and maintain
such systems for recording transactions under or in
connection with the handling agreements and subleases all
to the end that accurate and complete records of gross
receipts be maintained including identification of the
gross receipts of the Lessee pertaining to any particular
handling agreement, sublease or other agreement, all of
the foregoing to be kept at all times in the Port of New
York District; provided, however, that the Lessee may
produce all such records to the satisfaction of the Port
Authority in the Port of New York District, or, on the
condition that the Lessee shall pay to the Port Authority
all travel costs and expenses as determined by the Port
Authority for Port Authority auditors and other
representatives in connection with any audit at locations
outside the Port of New York District, the Lessee may
maintain said records and books and make them available
to the Port Authority at the Lessee's principal office,
which currently is located at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx,
Xxxxx 00000.
(9) Without limiting any Section, term, or provision
of the Lease, the Lessee shall permit in ordinary
business hours during the term of this Agreement and for
one year thereafter and during such further period as is
mentioned in the preceding subparagraph, the examination,
inspection and audit by the officers, employees and
representatives of the Port Authority of such books of
account and systems mentioned above and also any records
and books of account, and systems of any company which is
owned or controlled by the Lessee or by any partner of
the Lessee, if said company performs services, similar to
those performed by the Lessee anywhere in the Port of New
York District. The Lessee shall furnish to the Port
Authority from time to time (but not more often than once
a month) statements of the Lessee setting forth its gross
receipts as required hereunder, and such further
itemization, details and information pertaining to the
handling agreements and subleases as the Port Authority
may from time to time request.
(10) The Lessee agrees that all handling agreements
and subleases shall be at reasonable and at not
discriminatory rates, fees and charges which shall be
based upon the recovery by the Lessee of a pro rata share
of the Lessee's costs of (i) operation and maintenance of
the premises, (ii) the services provided to the Handled
Airline or the Section 69 Sublessee Airline and (iii) the
Lessee's investment in the premises not otherwise
included in the above, provided, however, that it is
understood and agreed that the following shall not be a
reason for the Lessee to refuse a sublease or handling
agreement or to impose any conditions or limitations on
operations in connection therewith under this Section 69:
(aa) possible or potential labor disharmony with a
Handled Airline or sublessee, (bb) compatibility of
schedules and operations between the Lessee or another
user or occupant of the premises and a Handled Airline or
sublessee, or (cc) competitive nature of the routes,
schedules or type of air transportation service to be
provided by a Handled Airline or sublessee, provided,
further, however, that with respect to item (aa) above
if, after notice from the Port Authority to provide
Accommodations to a specific Scheduled Aircraft Operator,
the Lessee shall, in good faith, believe that the
operations of such specific Scheduled Aircraft Operator
on the premises would cause significant, immediate and
unremediable labor disharmony which would seriously
affect the operations of the Lessee on the premises then,
upon request by the Lessee to the Port Authority setting
forth in specific detail satisfactory to the Port
Authority the nature of the anticipated labor disharmony
and requesting that the Lessee not be obligated under
this Section to provide Accommodations for such specific
Scheduled Aircraft Operator, the Port Authority shall, in
good faith, consider the Lessee's request and if the Port
Authority finds that the labor disharmony described by
the Lessee is reasonably likely to result if the Lessee
were to provide Accommodations to such Scheduled Aircraft
Operator on the premises then the Port Authority shall
notify the Lessee that the Port Authority's direction to
provide Accommodations to such Scheduled Aircraft
Operator is rescinded and, provided further, however,
with respect to (bb) above the Lessee will not have to
provide or continue to provide FIS Accommodations if
doing so would result in a number of passengers being
processed through the FIS facilities in excess of the
design capacity of said facilities or if such FIS
Accommodations would require Lessee to cancel or retime
a scheduled international arriving flight. The Lessee's
obligation to provide Accommodations to Scheduled
Aircraft Operators shall be effective on the date set
forth in a notice from the Port Authority to such effect,
as aforesaid. Upon such notice the Lessee shall use its
best efforts to secure an arrangement with a Scheduled
Aircraft Operator as directed by the Port Authority for
Accommodations in the terminal and shall in good faith
negotiate with any such Scheduled Aircraft Operator as
the Port Authority shall direct for Accommodations in the
premises, all in accordance herewith.
(11) The Port Authority shall give thirty (30) days' prior
notice of its intention to give the notice set forth above and
it is expressly agreed that the Port Authority shall not
exercise the aforesaid right with respect to any portion or
portions of the premises if and for which the Lessee has
submitted to the Port Authority definite plans for the
utilization of said portion or portions of the premises by the
Lessee provided the Lessee in fact commences such use of said
portion or portions of the premises within thirty (30) days
after the submission of the said plans.
(12) The failure of the Port Authority to exercise its
rights under this Section 69 during any year in which it may
have such a right, shall not affect, waive or limit its right
to exercise said rights in any subsequent year."
(c) The third (3rd) and fourth (4th ) lines of paragraph (e)
thereof are hereby amended to read as follows:

owing to the Port Authority arising from the Lessee's
operations at the Airport, whether covered by a written

bond in the Lessee's name and if acceptable to the Port
Authority the Lessee shall deposit such bond together with a
bond power (and such other instruments or other documents as
the Port Authority may require) in form and substance
satisfactory to the Port Authority. In the event the Consent
Security Deposit is returned to the Lessee, any expenses
incurred by the Port Authority in re-registering a bond to the
name of the Lessee shall be borne by the Lessee. In addition
to any and all other remedies available to it, the Port
Authority shall have the right, at its option, at any time and
from time to time, with or without notice to use the said
Consent Security Deposit or any part thereof in whole or
partial satisfaction of any of its claims or demands against
the Lessee. There shall be no obligation on the Port
Authority to exercise such right and neither the existence of
such right nor the holding of the Consent Security Deposit
itself shall cure any default or breach of the Agreement on
the part of the Lessee. In the event that the Port Authority
shall at any time or times so use the Consent Security
Deposit, or any part thereof, or if bonds shall have been
deposited and the market value thereof shall have declined
below the above-mentioned amount, the Lessee shall, on demand
of the Port Authority and within two (2) days thereafter,
deposit with the Port Authority additional cash or bonds so as
to maintain the Consent Security Deposit at all times to the
full amount above stated, and such additional deposits shall
be subject to all the conditions of paragraph (a)(2) of this
Section. After the later to occur of (x) expiration or
earlier termination of the Agreement or any extension thereof
and (y) the cessation of activity of the Lessee at the Airport
and upon condition that the Lessee shall then be in no wise in
default under any part of the Agreement, as this Agreement may
have been amended or extended, or other obligations to the
Port Authority, and upon written request therefor by the
Lessee, the Port Authority will return the said Consent
Security Deposit to the Lessee less the amount of any and all
unpaid claims and demands (including estimated damages) of the
Port Authority by reason of any default or breach by the
Lessee of this Agreement or any part thereof, or any of them,
or any other obligation of the Lessee to Port Authority and
less any other fees, charges and obligations owed to the Port
Authority arising from the Lessee's operations at the Airport.
The Lessee agrees that it will not assign or encumber the said
Consent Security Deposit and any such assignment or
encumbrances shall be void as to the Port Authority. The
Lessee may collect or receive annually any interest or income
earned on bonds and interest paid on cash deposited in
interest bearing bank accounts less any part thereof or amount
which the Port Authority is or may hereafter be entitled or
authorized by law to retain or to charge in connection
therewith, whether as or in lieu of administrative expense or
custodial charge, or otherwise, provided, however, that the
Port Authority shall not be obligated by this provision to
place or to keep cash deposited hereunder in interest bearing
bank accounts. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of
this Section, with respect to any bonds deposited by the
Lessee, the Port Authority shall have the right, in order to
satisfy any of its claims or demands against the Lessee, to
sell the same in whole or in part, at any time and from time
to time, with or without prior notice, at public or private
sale, all as determined by the Port Authority together with
the right to purchase the same at such sale free of any
claims, equities or rights of redemption of the Lessee. The
Lessee hereby waives all right to participate therein and all
right to prior notice or demand of the amount or amounts of
the Port Authority's claims or demands against the Lessee.
The proceeds of any such sale shall be applied by the Port
Authority first to the costs and expenses of the sale
(including but not limited to any advertising or commission
expenses) and then to the amounts due the Port Authority from
the Lessee. Any balance remaining shall be retained in cash
toward bringing the Consent Security Deposit to the sum
specified in subparagraph (3) hereof provided that this shall
not relieve the Lessee from maintaining the Consent Security
Deposit in the full amount stated in subparagraph (3) hereof.
(ii) in lieu of the cash or bonds Consent Security Deposit
described in subsubparagraph (i) hereof, the Lessee may, at
its option cause to be delivered to the Port Authority on the
Consent Security Deposit Delivery Date as security for the
full, faithful and prompt performance of and compliance with,
on the part of the Lessee, all of the provisions, terms,
covenants and conditions of this Agreement on its part to be
fulfilled, kept, performed or observed, and as security for
the payment of all rentals, fees, charges and obligations owed
or which may become due and owing to the Port Authority
arising from the Lessee's operations at the Airport, whether
covered by a written agreement or otherwise, a clean
irrevocable letter of credit issued to and in favor of the
Port Authority, by a banking institution having its main
office within the Port of New York District and acceptable to
the Port Authority, payable in the Port of New York District,
the amount of the Consent Security Deposit. The form and
terms of such letter of credit, as well as the institution
issuing it, shall be subject to the prior and continuing
approval of the Port Authority. Such letter of credit shall
provide that it shall continue during the term of this
Agreement and for a period of not less than six (6) months
thereafter; such continuance may be by provision for automatic
renewal or by substitution of a subsequent satisfactory clean
irrevocable letter of credit. If requested by the Port
Authority, said letter of credit shall be accompanied by a
letter expressing the opinion of counsel for the banking
institution that the issuance of said clean, irrevocable
letter of credit is an appropriate and valid exercise the
banking institution of the corporate power conferred upon it
by law. Upon notice of cancellation of a letter of credit the
Lessee agrees that unless, by a date twenty (20) days prior to
the effective date of cancellation, the letter of credit is
replaced by security in accordance with subsubparagraph (i)
above or another letter of credit satisfactory to the Port
Authority, the Port Authority may draw down the full amount
thereof without statement of default and thereafter the Port
Authority will hold the same as Consent Security Deposit under
subsubparagraph (i) of this paragraph (a)(2) of this Section.
Failure to provide such a letter of credit at any time during
the term of this Agreement, valid and available to the Port
Authority, including any failure of any banking institution
issuing any such letter of credit previously accepted by the
Port Authority to make one or more payments as may be provided
in such letter of credit shall be deemed to be a breach of
this Agreement on the part of the Lessee. Upon acceptance of
such letter of credit by the Port Authority, and upon request
by the Lessee made thereafter, the Port Authority will return
the Consent Security Deposit, if any, theretofore made under
and in accordance with the provisions of subsubparagraph (i)
of this paragraph (a)(2) of this Section. The Lessee shall
have the same rights to receive such Consent Security Deposit
during the existence of a valid letter of credit as it would
have to receive such sum upon expiration of the letting under
this Agreement and fulfillment of the obligations of the
Lessee hereunder and thereunder. If the Port Authority shall
make any drawing under a letter of credit held by the Port
Authority hereunder, the Lessee on demand of the Port
Authority and within two (2) days thereafter, shall bring the
letter of credit back up to its full amount. No action by the
Port Authority pursuant to the terms of any letter of credit,
or receipt by the Port Authority of funds from any bank
issuing any such letter of credit, shall be or be deemed to be
a waiver of any default by the Lessee under the terms of this
Agreement and all remedies of this Agreement and of the Port
Authority consequent upon such default shall not be affected
by the existence of a recourse to any such letter of credit.
(iii) For purposes of the foregoing, the Lessee hereby
certifies that its I.R.S. Employee Identification No. is
00-0000000; and in the event of a change in said I.R.S.
Employee Identification No. resulting from a merger the Lessee
shall immediately certify its new I.R.S. Employee
Identification No. in writing to the Port Authority.
(3) For purposes of this paragraph (a) the term
'Consent Security Deposit' shall mean an aggregate amount
equal to (x) the sum of all of the monetary obligations
(including without limitation rent, fees, and charges of
any type whatsoever) payable to the Port Authority by the
Lessee arising out of or in connection with or due from
its activities, operations, leases, permits or other
agreements at each and every Port Authority facility,
during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding
the anticipated date of the merger, consolidation or
assignment, such sum under this clause (x) being limited
however to the aggregate of the three (3) highest monthly
totals of said monetary obligations for any three (3)
months during said twelve (12) month period with said sum
to be determined by the Port Authority; plus (y) the sum
of all of the monetary obligations (including without
limitation rent, fees, and charges of any type
whatsoever), if any, payable to the Port Authority by the
entity with which the Lessee merges or consolidates or to
which the Lease is assigned arising out of or in
connection with or due to its activities, operations,
leases, permits or other agreements, if any, at each and
every Port Authority facility, during the twelve (12)
month period immediately preceding the anticipated date
of the merger, consolidation or assignment, such sum
under this clause (y) being limited however to the
aggregate of the three (3) highest monthly totals of said
monetary obligations for any three (3) months during said
twelve (12) month period, with said sum to be determined
by the Port Authority. In the event the Consent Security
Deposit is delivered pursuant to subparagraph (1) above,
the terms, provisions and conditions governing the use of
said Consent Security Deposit shall be set forth in the
assumption instrument referred to therein.
(4) In the event that a Consent Security Deposit is
required to be posted under this Lease and at any time
thereafter the Lessee does satisfy the Financial Tests and
provides to the Port Authority satisfactory evidence thereof,
the Port Authority promptly shall refund the Consent Security
Deposit to the Lessee, less any amounts that then may remain
unpaid under the Lease beyond the due date thereof."

amended in Supplement No. 6 of the Lease, is hereby further amended

of the premises by Continental Express in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the Lease, such use being
without payment of the Port Authority fee therefor for so
long as Continental Express shall remain the Lessee's
wholly owned subsidiary. In the event Continental

subsidiary, the Lessee shall immediately so inform the
Port Authority and thereafter a document shall be

among other things, provisions which may be requested by
the Lessee or Continental Express and agreed to by the

Tanks or their location and shall assume no responsibility for
the Tanks. All Tanks installed subsequent to said date shall
be installed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lease
including without limitation Section 23 hereof and nothing in

(b) Without limiting the generality of any of the
provisions of the Lease, the Lessee agrees that it shall be
solely responsible for maintaining, testing and repairing the
Tanks. The Lessee shall not perform any servicing, repairs or

expense comply with all Environmental Requirements pertaining

bonds and other financial assurances, performing all required
clean-up and remediation of a Discharge and filing all
reports, making all submissions to, providing all information

submission by the Port Authority to the application to itself
of the Environmental Requirements, provided, however, no
immunity or exemption of the Port Authority from the
Environmental Requirements shall excuse the compliance
therewith by the Lessee or shall be grounds for non-compliance
therewith by the Lessee.

18 of the Lease, the Lessee hereby assumes all risks arising
out of or in connection with the Tanks and all Discharges
whether or not foreseen or unforeseen and shall indemnify and

and litigation expenses), all claims and demands, just or

hereinafter in this Section 95 referred to as 'Claims' and
singularly referred to as a 'Claim') including but not limited
to those for personal injuries (including death), property
damages, or environmental impairment, arising or alleged to
arise out of or in any way related to, the failure of the
Lessee to comply with each and every term and provision of the
Lease, or the Tanks, or any Discharge, or any lawsuit brought
or threatened, settlement reached or any governmental order
relating to the Tanks or a Discharge, or any violation of any
Environmental Requirements or demands of any governmental

of third persons or out of the acts of God or the public enemy
or otherwise including claims by the City of Newark against
the Port Authority pursuant to the provisions of the Basic
Lease (as defined in the Lease) whereby the Port Authority has

penalties, settlements, damages, fines, costs and expenses of
or imposed by any governmental authority under the
Environmental Requirements.
If so directed the Lessee shall at its expense defend any
suit based upon any such Claim (even if such Claim is
groundless, false or fraudulent) and in handling such it shall
not without first having express advance permission from the
General Counsel of the Port Authority raise any defense
involving in any way the jurisdiction of the tribunal over the
person of the Port Authority, the immunity of the Port
Authority, its Commissioners, officers, agents or employees,
the governmental nature of the Port Authority or the
provisions of any statutes respecting suits against the Port
Authority.
(f) The Lessee's obligations under this Section 95 shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.
(g) In addition to the requirements of Section 10 of the
Lease and paragraph (d) hereof, the Port Authority shall have

the Lessee's sole cost and expense, (i) to perform such
reasonable testing of the Tanks as the Port Authority shall
direct and to perform such testing of the soil, subsoil and
ground water of the premises and of such surrounding area as
the Port Authority shall direct, and (ii) to clean-up and
remediate any Discharge, regardless of whether any
Environmental Requirement or governmental authority shall
require such testing, clean-up or remediation, which testing,
clean-up and remediation shall be performed pursuant to an
alteration application prepared by the Lessee and submitted to
the Port Authority for the Port Authority's approval.
(h) In the Lessee's use and operation of the Tanks, the
Lessee shall not permit any Hazardous Substance from entering

hereof) installing appropriate spill and overfill devices and

(i) (1) The Lessee shall remove the Tanks from the
premises on or before the applicable expiration date of the
Lease and dispose of the Tanks off the Airport in accordance
with all Environmental Requirements.
(2) Without limiting the foregoing or any other term or
provision of this Agreement, any removal of the Tanks shall be
performed pursuant to an alteration application prepared by
the Lessee and submitted to the Port Authority for the Port
Authority's approval and, in connection with such removal, the
Lessee shall restore the premises to the same condition
existing prior to the installation of the Tanks, shall perform
such testing of the Tanks and of the soil, sub-soil and ground
water in the vicinity of the Tanks as may be required by the
Port Authority and shall clean-up and remediate contamination
disclosed by said testing. In the event the Lessee does not
remove the Tanks as required by subparagraph (1) above, the
Port Authority may enter upon the premises and effect the
removal and disposal of the Tanks, restoration of the premises
and such remediation and the Lessee hereby agrees to pay all
costs and expenses of the Port Authority arising out of such
removal, disposal, restoration and remediation.
(j) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of
the Lease to the contrary, (i) the costs of remediation of any Non-
Hydrocarbon Contamination (as defined in Section 12(p) hereof)
resulting from a Discharge from any Tank which was not installed by
the Lessee shall count towards the Non-Hydrocarbon Obligation
Amount (as defined in Section 12(p) hereof) except to the extent
the substance(s) causing such costs was placed on or introduced to
the premises by the Lessee, and the standard for remediation
thereof shall be the applicable standard as required under
Environmental Requirements and, in the event that any Environmental
Requirement sets forth more than one standard, the standard to be
applied shall be that which requires the lowest level of a
Hazardous Substance unless the Port Authority consents to a
different standard being applied; and (ii) the Lessee shall have no
obligation or liability with respect to the cost of remediation of
any Discharge caused by the acts or omissions of the Port
Authority, and the Port Authority shall be responsible therefor;
provided, however, that the Port Authority does not hereby waive

of this Agreement entitled "Termination by the Port Authority" or
otherwise, then the Port Authority shall at the same time send a
copy of the written notice of such termination ("Notice of
Termination") to the Leasehold Mortgagee if it shall have become
entitled to notice as provided in paragraph (j) of this Section
(the date of the sending of such copy of said notice by the
Leasehold Mortgagee being herein called the "Notice of Termination
Service Date"). The Notice of Termination shall specify the
effective date of such termination (the "Notice of Termination
Effective Date"), which date must not be before the 31st day after
the Notice of Termination Service Date.
(2) The serving of the Notice of Termination by the Port
Authority on the Leasehold Mortgagee in accordance with the
foregoing shall trigger the Leasehold Mortgagee's Reletting Rights
solely with respect to the Mortgaged Premises and the commencement
of the Reletting Election Period (unless the Leasehold Mortgagee
has previously exercised its Reletting Rights and the Reletting
Election Period has previously commenced based on a Bonds Default
pursuant to paragraph (m) of this Section or a Bankruptcy Rejection
Date pursuant to paragraph (r) of this Section). The Leasehold
Mortgagee shall have the right to extend the Notice of Termination
Effective Date for a period constituting the initial ninety (90)
days of the Foreclosure Period (subject to the extensions thereof
as provided in paragraph (n) of this Section) provided that the
Leasehold Mortgagee shall serve its Reletting Election Notice on
the Port Authority on or prior to the end of the Reletting Election
Period stating the Leasehold Mortgagee's affirmative election to
exercise its Reletting Rights with respect to the Mortgaged
Premises, and provided, further, that the Leasehold Mortgagee
simultaneously with the giving of its Reletting Election Notice to
the Port Authority shall pay to the Port Authority the Leasehold
Mortgagee's Foreclosure Period Commencement Payments as defined and
set forth in paragraph (n) of this Section.
(3) In the event that prior to the Notice of Termination
Service Date there has previously occurred a Bonds Default pursuant
to paragraph (m) of this Section or a Bankruptcy Rejection Date
pursuant to paragraph (r) of this Section such subsequent
occurrence of the Notice of Termination Service Date ("Subsequent
Notice of Termination Service Date") shall not commence a new
Reletting Election Period or, if applicable, a new Foreclosure
Period and the subsequent Notice of Termination shall be deemed
stayed during the balance of the previously commenced Foreclosure
Period and such Foreclosure Period may continue (as the same may be
extended under paragraph (n) of this Section) if and only if the
Leasehold Mortgagee shall, in addition to its continued compliance
with all of the Leasehold Mortgagee's Foreclosure Period
Obligations including its continued payments of the Leasehold
Mortgagee's Foreclosure Period Payments, pay to the Port Authority
the Foreclosure Period Extension Fees as set forth in paragraph (n)
of this Section.
(m) Bonds Default:
(1) In the event the Lessee shall fail to make payment of
any and all amounts required when due under the Lessee Guaranty to
be paid by the Lessee as and for the payment of the principal,
premium and interest on the Bonds and said failure results in a
default under the Bonds ("Bonds Default"), the Leasehold
Mortgagee's Reletting Election Period shall be deemed to commence
upon the date of said Bonds Default ("Bonds Default Date"), but
only if such Bonds Default also constitutes an event of default
under the Leasehold Mortgage giving the Leasehold Mortgagee the
right to foreclose the Leasehold Mortgage and the Leasehold
Mortgagee serves its Reletting Election Notice on the Port
Authority prior to the expiration of said Reletting Election
Period; provided, further, however, that in the event either a
Notice of Termination Service Date or a Bankruptcy Rejection Date
occurs prior to a Bonds Default, such Bonds Default shall not
trigger a new Reletting Election Period or Foreclosure Period.
(2) After the written request of the Leasehold Mortgagee
to the Port Authority which may be made from time to time (but not
more frequently than once per calendar month) during the term of
the letting to the Lessee of the Mortgaged Premises up to the
occurrence of the earlier of (i) a Notice of Termination Service
Date and (ii) a Bankruptcy Rejection Date or Bonds Default Date,
the Port Authority shall promptly provide to the Leasehold
Mortgagee a statement of amounts invoiced by the Port Authority to
the Lessee during the sixty (60) day period preceding the date of
each request and setting forth the unpaid amounts, if any, owing or
estimated to be owing to the Port Authority by the Lessee under the
Lease at the date of the request; provided that the Port Authority
in supplying any such statement or statements to the Leasehold
Mortgagee shall do so without any warranty or representation to the
Leasehold Mortgagee and the Port Authority shall not be liable to
the Leasehold Mortgagee, the Lessee, Bondholders or any other party
or person with respect to any information contained or not
contained therein or the accuracy of the same provided it has
submitted such information in good faith (each such statement of
amounts invoiced, an "Information Statement"). In the event the
Indenture and the other Financing Documents expressly authorize the
Leasehold Mortgagee to declare a default under the Leasehold
Mortgage on the basis of (x) the failure of the Lessee to duly pay
to the Port Authority rentals, fees, charges and other amounts due
and owing under the Lease (y) the receipt by the Leasehold
Mortgagee of one or more Information Statements showing that the
said total unpaid amount exceeds Seven Million One Hundred Thousand
Dollars and No Cents ($7,100,000.00), and (z) the continued failure
of the Lessee to pay the said unpaid amount to the Port Authority
within twenty (20) days after the Lessee has received from the
Leasehold Mortgagee a written warning notice of Leasehold

payable by the Leasehold Mortgagee on the 571st day, on the
601st day, on the 631st day, on the 661st day, and on the
691st day of the Foreclosure Period; provided, however, that,
subject to the provisions of subparagraph (2) of paragraph (t)
of this Section, after the occurrence of the Lease
Assignment/Assumption Commencement Date (as defined in
subparagraph (2) of paragraph (t) of this Section) no
installment(s) for any subsequent 30-day period of this
extension shall be payable.
The foregoing Foreclosure Period Extension Fee payments
shall apply as stated above where the Foreclosure Period initially
commenced on any basis other that the sole occurrence of a Bonds
Default; and the same shall be subject to the provisions of
subparagraph (7) of this paragraph (n) in the event the Foreclosure
Period initially commenced solely on the basis of a Bonds Default
and thereafter a "Subsequent Non-Bonds Default" as defined in
subparagraph (7) of this paragraph (n) occurred during the
Foreclosure Period.
(7) Foreclosure Period Extension Fees / initial Bonds
Default followed by a Lease Termination or Bankruptcy Rejection
Date.
(i) For purposes of this subparagraph (7) the term
"Subsequent Non-Bonds Default" shall mean the occurrence of either
a Notice of Termination Service Date or a Bankruptcy Rejection Date
(whichever is first to occur) subsequent to the initial
commencement of the Foreclosure Period which commencement was based
solely on the occurrence of a Bonds Default. In the event that the
Foreclosure Period initially commences as a result solely of a
Bonds Default, the Foreclosure Period Extension Fees shall not be
payable unless and until there occurs a Subsequent Non-Bonds
Default; provided that such Subsequent Non-Bonds Default shall
neither commence a new Foreclosure Period nor extend the total
aggregate Foreclosure Period (including all available extensions)
beyond the allowable maximum aggregate total of 720 days. In the
event of such Subsequent Non-Bonds Default the obligation of the
Leasehold Mortgagee to pay to the Port Authority the Foreclosure
Period Extension Fees set forth in subparagraphs (5) and (6) (A),
(B) and (C) of this paragraph (n) shall be deemed to commence and
at the installment rate determined in accordance with the
following: if the Subsequent Non-Bonds Default occurs during the
initial 90 days after the commencement the Foreclosure Period the
actual date of said Subsequent Non-Bonds Default shall be treated
as day 1 of the Foreclosure Period and the Foreclosure Period
Extension Fees set forth above shall commence on the 181st day
following the date of said Subsequent Non-Bonds Default at the
applicable 30-day installment rate in accordance with the
subparagraph (5) of this paragraph (n); if such Subsequent Non-
Bonds Default occurs after the 90th day of the Foreclosure Period
the 90th day of the Foreclosure Period shall be treated as day 1 of
the Foreclosure Period and the Foreclosure Period Extension Fees
shall, where the Subsequent Non-Bonds Default occurs between the
91st and the 270th days of the Foreclosure Period, commence on the
271st day of the Foreclosure Period at the 30-day installment rate
applicable on the 181st day thereof (271 minus 90); and where the
Subsequent Non-Bonds Default occurs between the 271st and the 720th
days of the Foreclosure Period the Foreclosure Period Extension
Fees shall commence on the actual date of the Subsequent Non-Bonds
Default at the 30-day installment rate applicable on the 90th day
preceding such actual date.
[For illustrative purposes only the following two
illustrations of the foregoing are provided:
Illustration 1. if the Foreclosure Period commenced
based on a Bonds Default only and the Subsequent Non-Bonds
Default occurred on the 20th day after such commencement of
the Foreclosure Period, the 20th day of the Foreclosure Period
would be treated as day 1 for purposes of the determination of
the applicable Foreclosure Period Extension Fee and the
obligation of the Leasehold Mortgagee to pay to the Port
Authority the Foreclosure Period Extension Fees would commence
on the 200th day of the Foreclosure Period at the 30-day
installment rate set forth in subparagraph (5) of this
paragraph (n) (the 181st-270th day installment rate);
alternatively, if the Subsequent Non-Bonds Default occurred on
the 150th day after such commencement of the Foreclosure
Period, the 90th day of the Foreclosure Period shall be
treated as day 1 and said 150th day would be treated as day 60
for purposes of the determination of the applicable
Foreclosure Period Extension Fee and the obligation of the
Leasehold Mortgagee to pay to the Port Authority the
Foreclosure Period Extension Fees would commence 121 days
thereafter (i.e. on the 271st day of the Foreclosure Period)
at the 30-day installment rate applicable on the 181st day as
set forth in subparagraph (5) of this paragraph (n) (the
181st-270th days rate) and continue thereafter during the
Foreclosure Period and payable on the first day of each 30-day
period thereafter occurring during the Foreclosure Period at
the 30-day installment rates set forth in subparagraphs (6)
(A), (B) and (C) of this paragraph (n).
Illustration 2. if the Foreclosure Period commenced
based on a Bonds Default only and the Subsequent Non-Bonds
Default occurred on the 70th day after such commencement of
the Foreclosure Period, the 70th day of the Foreclosure Period
would be treated as day 1 for purposes of the determination of
the applicable Foreclosure Period Extension Fee and the
obligation of the Leasehold Mortgagee to pay to the Port
Authority the Foreclosure Period Extension Fees would commence
on the 251st, day of the Foreclosure Period at the 30-day
installment rate set forth in subparagraph (5) of this
paragraph (n) (the 181st-270th installment rate) and continue
thereafter during the Foreclosure Period and payable on the
first day of each 30-day period thereafter occurring during
the Foreclosure Period at the 30-day installment rates set
forth in subparagraphs (6) (A), (B) and (C) of this paragraph
(n); alternatively, if the Foreclosure Period commenced based
on a Bonds Default only and the Subsequent Non-Bonds Default
occurred on the 600th day after such commencement of the
Foreclosure Period, the 90th day of the Foreclosure Period
shall be treated as day 1 and the said 600th, day would be
treated as day 510 for purposes of the determination of the
applicable Foreclosure Period Extension Fee and the obligation
of the Leasehold Mortgagee to pay to the Port Authority the
Foreclosure Period Extension Fees would commence on the 600th
day of the Foreclosure Period at the 30-day installment rate
which would be in effect on the 510th day as set forth in
subparagraph (6) of this paragraph (n) (the 361st - 540th days
rate) and continue thereafter during the Foreclosure Period
and payable on the first day of each 30-day period thereafter
occurring during the Foreclosure Period at the 30-day
installment rates set forth in subparagraphs (6) (B) and (C)
of this paragraph (n).]
(ii) The Leasehold Mortgagee shall pay to the Port
Authority the Foreclosure Period Extension Fees in the monthly
installments determined in accordance with the foregoing
immediately upon the commencement date established in accordance
with the foregoing and on the first day of each 30-day period
thereafter occurring during the Foreclosure Period.
(iii) The foregoing provisions of this subparagraph
(7), however, shall not in any event extend, or be construed to
extend, the Foreclosure Period beyond the maximum permissible
aggregate total of 720 days (including all extensions) from the
initial commencement date of the Foreclosure Period.
(o) (1) The failure of the Leasehold Mortgagee to pay the
Foreclosure Period Commencement Payments when due shall result in
the automatic cancellation of the Leasehold Mortgagee's Reletting
Rights (and of any Foreclosure Period) and of the Leasehold
Mortgage, such cancellation to be deemed effective as of the
Reletting Election Notice Service Date and there shall be no
further Reletting Rights or Leasehold Mortgage with respect to the
Mortgaged Premises hereunder and any Notice of Termination
previously stayed shall become fully effective as described below.
The failure of the Leasehold Mortgagee to timely pay any of the
Leasehold Mortgagee's Foreclosure Period Payments or to fully and
duly perform any of the Leasehold Mortgagee's Foreclosure Period
Obligations shall result in the termination of the Foreclosure
Period and the Reletting Rights and the Leasehold Mortgage
automatically without any further act on the part of the Port
Authority and any Notice of Termination previously stayed shall
become fully effective as described below. The failure of the
Leasehold Mortgagee to pay any Foreclosure Period Extension Fee
when due shall result in the automatic termination and non-
extension of the Foreclosure Period and the automatic termination
of the Leasehold Mortgage and the Reletting Rights without any
further act on the part of the Port Authority and any Notice of
Termination previously stayed shall become fully effective as
described below. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary
but without limiting subparagraph (2) below or paragraph (s) of
this Section, the sole right or remedy of the Port Authority for
the failure of the Leasehold Mortgagee to pay the Leasehold
Mortgagee's Foreclosure Period Payments shall be the cancellation
or termination (including non-extension) of the Leasehold
Mortgagee's Reletting Rights (and of any Foreclosure Period) and of
the Leasehold Mortgage.
(2) Upon any such termination or cancellation of the
Foreclosure Period or any non-extension of the Foreclosure Period,
the Port Authority's termination under the Notice of Termination
shall be deemed effective with respect to the Mortgaged Premises
and the Lease with respect to the Mortgaged Premises shall be
deemed terminated effective immediately on said expiration,
termination or cancellation of the Foreclosure Period in accordance
with the Section of the Lease entitled "Termination by the Port
Authority" and the Port Authority, in addition to pursuing any or
all of its rights and remedies under the Lease, or otherwise, shall
be entitled to elect to use, alter or demolish any of the
improvements on the Mortgaged Premises free of any claim, right or
interest of the Lessee, the Trustee or the Bondholders.
(p) During the Foreclosure Period, as to any and all portions
of the Mortgaged Premises which the Lessee has vacated or from
which the Lessee has been evicted, the Port Authority, until such
time as the Trustee obtains an Approved Successor Lessee, may use
or grant to other Aircraft Operators the use of portion or portions
of the Mortgaged Premises on a temporary basis, which use shall be
deemed a subuse under this Agreement and shall not impair or limit
any of obligations or liabilities of the Lessee or the Leasehold
Mortgagee; any net amount received by the Port Authority (after
deducting all expenses, costs and disbursements incurred or paid by
the Port Authority in connection therewith) shall be credited to
the obligations of the Lessee. No such subuse shall be or be
construed to be an acceptance of a surrender or a waiver of any
claims, rights or remedies of the Port Authority or to be a
reletting by the Leasehold Mortgagee or to limit the Reletting
Rights of the Leasehold Mortgagee under this Section.
(q) In the event that at the expiration of the Foreclosure
Period the Trustee has failed to obtain an Approved Successor
Lessee for the Mortgaged Premises in accordance with and subject to
paragraphs (t) and (u) of this Section, the Reletting Rights and
the Leasehold Mortgage shall terminate automatically and the
Trustee shall have no further rights or obligations with respect to
reletting, the Port Authority's termination under the Notice of
Termination shall be deemed effective with respect to the Mortgaged
Premises and the Lease with respect to the Mortgaged Premises shall
be deemed terminated effective immediately on said expiration of
the Foreclosure Period in accordance with the Section of the Lease
entitled "Termination by the Port Authority" and the Port
Authority, in addition to pursuing any or all of its rights and
remedies under the Lease, or otherwise, shall be entitled to elect
to use, alter or demolish any of the improvements on the Mortgaged
Premises free of any claim, right or interest of the Lessee, the
Trustee or the Bondholders.
(r) Lease Default-Lessee Bankruptcy
(1) (i)In the event of the occurrence of a Lessee
Bankruptcy and the Foreclosure Period has not previously
commenced,
(A)if the Lessee as debtor in possession or the
bankruptcy trustee assumes and assigns the Lease to an
assignee which assignee also assumes the Lease subject to
the encumbrance created by the Leasehold Mortgage (by
operation of law or otherwise) (whether or not such
assignee also assumes the NJEDA Subleases and the Lessee's
obligations to pay the principal, redemption premium and
interest on any of the Bonds) and there are then Bonds
outstanding then the Reletting Rights of the Leasehold
Mortgagee and the Leasehold Mortgage shall continue to
obtain and apply to the tenancy of said assignee of the
assigned Lease of the Mortgaged Premises with Reletting
Rights to a new Foreclosure Period as to such assignee in
accordance with and subject to this Section;
(B) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
(C) if the Lessee as debtor in possession or
the bankruptcy trustee rejects the Lease, then the
Reletting Election Period shall commence upon the
Bankruptcy Rejection Date and the provisions of paragraph
(n) hereof shall apply. For purposes hereof the term
"Bankruptcy Rejection Date" shall mean the later of (x)
the date set forth in the order of the bankruptcy court
as the effective date thereof for the rejection (or
deemed rejection) of the Lease by the Lessee and (y) the
actual date of such order of the bankruptcy court, and
said Bankruptcy Rejection Date shall trigger the
Reletting Election Period, provided that the Leasehold
Mortgagee shall submit to the Port Authority its
Reletting Election Notice stating its election to
exercise its Reletting Rights under this Agreement, as
above described, within thirty (30) days of the
Bankruptcy Rejection Date; and provided, further,
however, that the foregoing shall not constitute any
waiver, impairment or limitation of any claims, rights or
remedies of the Port Authority with respect to such
rejection of the Lease or the Lessee Bankruptcy. The
foregoing shall not limit the rights granted hereunder to
the Leasehold Mortgagee.
(ii) In the event of the occurrence of a Lessee
Bankruptcy and the Foreclosure Period has previously
commenced,
(A) if the Lessee as debtor in possession or
the bankruptcy trustee assumes and assigns the Lease to
an assignee which assignee also assumes the Lease subject
to the encumbrance created by the Leasehold Mortgage (by
operation of law or otherwise) (whether or not such
assignee also assumes the NJEDA Subleases and the
Lessee's obligations to pay the principal, redemption
premium and interest on the Bonds) and there are then
Bonds outstanding then the Reletting Rights of the
Leasehold Mortgagee and the Leasehold Mortgage shall
continue to obtain and apply to the tenancy of said
assignee of the assigned Lease of the Mortgaged Premises
with Reletting Rights to a new Foreclosure Period as to
such assignee in accordance with and subject to this
Section;
(B) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
(C) if the Lessee as debtor in possession or
the bankruptcy trustee rejects the Lease, then the
running of the previously commenced Foreclosure Period
shall be deemed suspended as of the date of the Lessee
Bankruptcy and shall resume as of the occurrence of a
Bankruptcy Rejection Date; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not constitute any waiver, impairment or
limitation of any claims, rights or remedies of the Port
Authority with respect to such rejection of the Lease or
with respect to a Lessee Bankruptcy. The foregoing shall
not limit the rights granted hereunder to the Leasehold
Mortgagee, provided that the Leasehold Mortgagee fulfills
all Leasehold Mortgagee's Foreclosure Period Obligations
and pays all Leasehold Mortgagee's Foreclosure Period
Payments.
(2) Upon the Bankruptcy Rejection Date the Leasehold
Mortgagee shall, for purposes of this Section, be the "deemed
Lessee" under this Agreement and shall simultaneously with the
service of its Reletting Election Notice pay the Leasehold
Mortgagee's Foreclosure Period Commencement Payments, if not
already paid, and shall thereafter satisfy all of the Leasehold
Mortgagee's Foreclosure Period Obligations.
(s) (1) In the event of the failure of the Leasehold
Mortgagee to exercise its Reletting Rights by the timely service of
its Reletting Election Notice and the payment to the Port Authority
of the Leasehold Mortgagee's Foreclosure Period Commencement
Payments in accordance with this Section 96, the Lease and the
letting of the Mortgaged Premises shall be deemed terminated
effective immediately on the Notice of Termination Effective Date,
or on the effective date of any other notice of termination served
by the Port Authority in accordance with the Section of the Lease
entitled "Termination by the Port Authority", and the Port
Authority, in addition to pursuing any or all of its rights and
remedies under the Lease, or otherwise, shall be entitled to elect
to use, alter or demolish any of the improvements on the Mortgaged
Premises free of any claim, right or interest of the Lessee, the
Trustee or the Bondholders.
(2) In the event the Mortgaged Premises do not
constitute all of the premises under this Agreement, the above
provisions with respect to the rights of the Leasehold Mortgagee to
extend the Notice of Termination or to exercise Reletting Rights
based on a Bonds Default Date or a Bankruptcy Rejection Date shall
apply only to the Mortgaged Premises and shall not apply to the
other areas or portions of the premises, and this Agreement as to
all such other areas or portions of the premises shall terminate on
the Notice of Termination Effective Date, or on the effective date
of any other notice of termination served by the Port Authority in
accordance with the Section of the Lease entitled "Termination by
the Port Authority", and the Port Authority may pursue any or all
of its rights and remedies under the Lease or otherwise with
respect thereto. The provisions hereof for the reletting of the
Mortgaged Premises based on a Bonds Default Date or a Bankruptcy
Rejection Date shall not and shall not be construed as a waiver or
limitation of the rights of the Port Authority to terminate other
portions of the premises or any Port Authority remedies with
respect thereto. If in the event of a reletting to an Approved
Successor Lessee of the Mortgaged Premises pursuant to the
provisions of this Section and the Lease as to the other portions
of the premises (excluding the Mortgaged Premises) has not expired
or been terminated and remains in effect on the effective date of
such reletting of the Mortgaged Premises, then the Port Authority
shall include with the Lease Assignment/Assumption and Consent
Agreement a restated lease document separately covering the
Mortgaged Premises.
(t) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (u) of this Section
with respect to the Port Authority, no entity, party or person
other than an Approved Successor Lessee shall be entitled to become
the owner of or acquire any interest in this Agreement pursuant to
a judgment of foreclosure and sale or as a result of an assignment
in lieu of foreclosure or as a result of the exercise by the
Leasehold Mortgagee of its Reletting Rights or otherwise; and any
entity, person or party proposed to become an Approved Successor
Lessee ("Proposed Successor Lessee") shall become an Approved
Successor Lessee only if the Leasehold Mortgagee duly exercises its
Reletting Rights by submitting to the Port Authority its Reletting
Election Notice stating its election to exercise its Reletting
Rights under this Agreement and including therewith the payment to
the Port Authority of the Leasehold Mortgagee's Foreclosure Period
Commencement Payments and fulfills all Leasehold Mortgagee's
Foreclosure Period Obligations and pays all Leasehold Mortgagee's
Foreclosure Period Payments, and said Proposed Successor Lessee
receives the approval of the Port Authority in advance. In
determining whether to approve or disapprove a Proposed Successor
Lessee, the Port Authority shall consider all relevant factors,
including but not limited to, the following factors, but it is
agreed that the Port Authority shall analyze all such factors in a
reasonable manner:
(i) whether the Proposed Successor Lessee will be
able to fulfill all of the Lessee's obligations under this
Agreement with respect to the Mortgaged Premises throughout
the balance of the term of the letting hereunder or such
lesser term as it proposes to lease;
(ii) whether the financial standing of the Proposed
Successor Lessee as of the effective date of its acquisition
of the leasehold hereunder is sufficient, in the opinion of
the Port Authority, to assure to the Port Authority that the
Proposed Successor Lessee is able to fulfill all of the
Lessee's obligations with respect to the Mortgaged Premises
under this Agreement throughout the balance of the term of the
letting of the Mortgaged Premises hereunder or such lesser
term as it proposes to lease which shall constitute the term
of the proposed reletting; including without limitation the
submission to the Port Authority of such security or guaranty
in such form and amount as the Port Authority may find
satisfactory and shall also submit such financial statements
and other financial information as the Port Authority may
require;
(iii) whether the Proposed Successor Lessee and
any officer, director or partner thereof and any person, firm
or corporation having an outright or beneficial interest in
twenty percent (20%) or more of the monies invested in the
Proposed Successor Lessee, if said Proposed Successor Lessee
is a corporation or partnership, by loans thereto, stock
ownership therein or any other form of financial interest has
as of the date of the proposed assignment/assumption a good
reputation for integrity and financial responsibility and has
not been convicted of or under current indictment for any
crime and is not currently involved in material civil anti-
trust or fraud litigation (other than as a plaintiff); and
(iv) whether the Port Authority has had any
"unfavorable experience" with the Proposed Successor Lessee,
or any of its officers, directors, or partners, or any person,
firm or corporation (such officers, directors, partners,
person, firm and corporation, being herein in this item (iv)
individually and collectively referred to as a "Person")
having an outright or beneficial interest in twenty percent
(20%) or more of the monies invested in the Proposed Successor
Lessee, if said Proposed Successor Lessee is a corporation or
partnership, by loans thereto, stock ownership therein or any
other form of financial interest; "unfavorable experience" as
used herein shall mean any one or more of the following. (A)
a material default by said Proposed Successor Lessee or any
such Person of any obligation, (monetary or non-monetary) to
the Port Authority; (B) any assertion made by said Proposed
Successor Lessee or any such Person against the Port Authority
in any frivolous, false, malicious, or unsupportable claim,
demand or allegation or suit or proceeding; (C) any act or
omission of said Proposed Successor Lessee or any such Person
causing or resulting in any loss, damage or injury to the Port
Authority or the imposition or threatened imposition of any
fine or penalty on the Port Authority or the commencement or
threatened commencement of any action, suit or proceeding
against the Port Authority; (D) any failure or refusal of said
Proposed Successor Lessee or any such Person to comply with
any law, governmental order, directive, ordinance or
requirement, including without limitation, Environmental
Requirements, at any Port Authority facility; (E) any failure
to comply with, or breach of, the Port Authority's Code of
Ethics and Financial Disclosure by said Proposed Successor
Lessee or any such Person; or (F) any breach by said Proposed
Successor Lessee or any such Person of any fiduciary
obligation, trust, confidence or other duty to the Port
Authority or of any confidentiality agreement with the Port
Authority;
(v) whether the Proposed Successor Lessee or any
officer, director or partner thereof or any person, firm or
corporation having an outright or beneficial interest in

corporation or partnership, by loans thereto, stock ownership
therein or any other form of financial interest is in conflict
of interest, as defined under the laws of the States of New
York and New Jersey or Port Authority policy, with any
Commissioner of the Port Authority as of the date of the
proposed acquisition; and
(vi) whether the Proposed Successor Lessee or any
officer, director or partner thereof or any person, firm or
corporation having an outright or beneficial interest in
twenty percent (20%) or more of the monies invested in the
proposed assignee, if said Proposed Successor Lessee is a
corporation or partnership, by loans thereto, stock ownership
therein or any other form of financial interest has filed a
voluntary petition in bankruptcy or has been adjudicated a
bankrupt within five (5) years prior to the date of the
proposed acquisition.
Without limiting any other term or provision hereof, the
Proposed Successor Lessee must also agree in the Lease
Assignment/Assumption and Consent Agreement, to pay all of the
rentals, fees and charges in accordance with the Lease, including
without limitation the amounts described in paragraphs (n) (3) (ii)
and (u) of this Section. The Proposed Successor Lessee shall use
and occupy the Mortgaged Premises for the purposes set forth in
Section 8 hereof and shall be a major domestic or international
Scheduled Aircraft Operator or consortium thereof and shall agree
(or, if a consortium, shall agree jointly and severally) in the
Lease Assignment/Assumption and Consent Agreement to use and occupy
the Mortgaged Premises in accordance with all the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no acquisition,
assignment, sale or transfer pursuant to this paragraph (t) shall
be effective, and no Proposed Successor Lessee shall become an
Approved Successor Lessee, or have any right to possess, use or
occupy the Mortgaged Premises unless and until an assignment and
assumption agreement, in the event of an assignment in lieu of
foreclosure, or an assumption agreement, in the event of a
foreclosure, and in either event in form satisfactory to the Port
Authority whereby the Proposed Successor Lessee, effective on a
date prior to or simultaneously with the expiration of the
Foreclosure Period, assumes the obligations of the Lessee as if it
were the original tenant hereunder, has been executed by the Port
Authority, the Lessee, the Proposed Successor Lessee and the
Leasehold Mortgagee (said fully executed agreement in either case,
the "Lease Assignment/Assumption and Consent Agreement"); provided
that the foregoing may be effected without the Lessee's execution
thereof where there has been a preceding judgment of foreclosure
and sale of the Leasehold Mortgage or a preceding judgment of
eviction against the Lessee; subject to the payment of the Deferred
Reletting Fee as set forth in paragraph (u) of this Section. The
said effective date of the Lease Assignment/Assumption and Consent
Agreement is herein referred to as the "Lease Assignment/Assumption
Commencement Date", provided that where the Leasehold Mortgagee has
commenced proceedings to foreclose the Leasehold Mortgage, and for
purposes of the continuation of the Foreclosure Period Extension
Fees (as provided in paragraph (n) of this Section), such date
shall be deemed to have occurred only upon the successful
completion by the Leasehold Mortgagee prior to the expiration of
the Foreclosure Period (subject to the aggregate total maximum of
720 days) of the foreclosure and eviction proceedings described in
paragraph (n) (4) of this Section; provided, further, however, that
in the event the Leasehold Mortgagee does not in fact successfully
complete the foreclosure of the Leasehold Mortgage and eviction
proceedings as described in paragraph (n) (4) of this Section prior
to the expiration of the Foreclosure Period (subject to the
aggregate total maximum of 720 days) the Lease
Assignment/Assumption and Consent Agreement shall be null and void
and of no force or effect.
(3) It is understood and agreed that after the Leasehold
Mortgagee has obtained a Proposed Successor Lessee and has promptly
submitted to the Port Authority all required and necessary
information and materials, in accordance with subparagraph (1) of
this paragraph (t), to enable the Port Authority to determine
whether it will approve such Proposed Successor Lessee as an
Approved Successor Lessee, the running of the Foreclosure Period
shall be deemed tolled pending said determination by the Port
Authority, such determination to be considered promptly and
reasonably by the Port Authority; provided, however, that no such
tolling shall be effective unless the Leasehold Mortgagee promptly
continues to submit such additional information and material as may
be reasonably required by the Port Authority for its making of such
determination. Such tolling shall also toll the Leasehold
Mortgagee's obligation to pay the Foreclosure Period Extension
Fees, but not any other of Leasehold Mortgagee's Foreclosure Period
Obligations.
(u) Deferred Reletting Fee:
(1) Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, (i)
no Port Authority consent shall be granted to any Approved
Successor Lessee and no Proposed Successor Lessee or any other
entity, person or party shall become an Approved Successor Lessee
unless and until either (A) the Leasehold Mortgagee or the Proposed
Successor Lessee shall pay to the Port Authority prior to the
effective date of any right of the Approved Successor Lessee to
possess or commence any use or occupancy of the Mortgaged Premises
and prior to any such actual possession or commencement by any such
Approved Successor Lessee in a single lump sum payment the full
amount of the Deferred Reletting Fee, as defined below, or (B) at
the election of the Approved Successor Lessee, in lieu of said
single lump sum payment, the Approved Successor Lessee shall agree
to pay the Deferred Reletting Fee over time in Deferred Reletting
Fee Rental, as defined below, commencing as of the Lease
Assignment/Assumption Commencement Date which election shall be
stated in the Lease Assignment/Assumption and Consent Agreement
subject to subparagraph (4) of this paragraph (u); and (ii) in the
case of the foregoing (i) (B), any such Port Authority consent to
any Approved Successor Lessee is and shall be expressly conditioned
on the agreement of the Proposed Successor Lessee to make
continuing payments to the Port Authority of the Deferred Reletting
Fee Rental under subparagraph (4) of this paragraph (u); provided
however that the Approved Successor Lessee shall also submit to the
Port Authority such additional security as the Port Authority may
reasonably require and in such amount and form as the Port
Authority may determine to be appropriate to secure the obligation
of the Approved Successor Lessee to pay said Deferred Reletting Fee
Rental.
(2) "Deferred Reletting Fee" shall mean the fee payable
to the Port Authority in a single lump sum payment by the Leasehold
Mortgagee or the Approved Successor Lessee, as aforesaid, and which
shall be determined by applying the following formula:
DRF = MA x Y x C
Where DRF equals the Deferred Reletting Fee.
MA equals the Mortgage Amount hereunder (as defined in
subparagraph (29) of paragraph (a) of this Section.
Y equals a fraction the numerator of which shall be
the greater of (i) the actual number of full years
then remaining in the term of the letting of the
Mortgaged Premises hereunder at the Reletting
Election Notice Service Date and (ii) the number
five (5), and the denominator of which shall be
twenty-nine (29) representing the total number of
years of the term of the letting of the Mortgaged
Premises as of the effective date of Supplement No.
17 of the Lease.
C equals (i) 2% in the event the Foreclosure Period
commenced on the basis of a Bonds Default, and a
Subsequent Non-Bonds Default did not occur
thereafter during the Foreclosure Period; (ii) 3%
in the event the Foreclosure Period commenced on
the basis of the occurrence of a Lease Termination
or Bankruptcy Rejection Date, and a Bonds Default
did not subsequently occur; or (iii) 4% in the
event the Foreclosure Period commenced on the basis
of a Bonds Default and thereafter a Subsequent Non-
Bonds Default occurred, or the Foreclosure Period
commenced on the basis of a Lease Termination or
Bankruptcy Rejection Date, and thereafter a Bonds
Default occurred.
(3) Subject to (4) below, the Deferred Reletting Fee
shall be due and payable in full to the Port Authority by the
Leasehold Mortgagee or the Approved Successor Lessee in a single
lump sum payment on the Lease Assignment/Assumption Commencement
Date (and in any event prior to any use, occupancy or possession of
the premises by the Approved Successor Lessee).
(4) In the event the Approved Successor Lessee elects to
pay to the Port Authority the Deferred Reletting Fee in accordance
with clause (i) (B) of subparagraph (1) of this paragraph (u) then
the following provisions shall be and become immediately effective
as part of the rental obligations of the Approved Successor Lessee
as the lessee under the Lease and as part of the rental obligations
assumed by the Approved Successor Lessee under the Lease
Assignment/Assumption and Consent Agreement:

Mortgage for an amount equal to the total amount specified in such
notice from the Leasehold Mortgagee, including per diem interest to
the date of purchase. If the Port Authority shall fail to notify

in the notice of its intention to purchase the Leasehold Mortgage
the Leasehold Mortgagee shall be entitled with respect to the
Mortgaged Premises to proceed to foreclose the Leasehold Mortgage
or to accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement.
(w) No sale, transfer or assignment by the Lessee of its
interest in this Agreement to the Port Authority shall create a
merger between the estates of the Port Authority and the Lessee
unless the Port Authority, the Lessee and the Leasehold Mortgagee

SCHEDULE E
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION-EQUAL OPPORTUNITY---MINORITY BUSINESS
ENTERPRISES ---WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES REQUIREMENTS
Part I. Affirmative Action Guidelines - Equal Employment
Opportunity
I. As a matter of policy the Port Authority hereby
requires the Lessee and the Lessee shall require the Contractor, as
hereinafter defined, to comply with the provisions set forth
hereinafter in this Schedule E and in Section 93 of Port Authority
Agreement No. XXX-170 (herein called the "Lease") with CONTINENTAL
AIRLINES, INC. (herein and in the Lease called the "Lessee"). The
provisions set forth in this Part I are similar to the conditions for
bidding on federal government contract adopted by the Office of
Federal Contract Compliance and effective May 8, 1978.
The Lessee as well as each bidder, contractor and
subcontractor of the Lessee and each subcontractor of a contractor at
any tier of construction (herein collectively referred to as "the
Contractor") must fully comply with the following conditions set
forth herein as to each construction trade to be used on the
construction work or any portion thereof (said conditions being
herein called "Bid Conditions"). The Lessee hereby commits itself to
the goals for minority and female utilization set forth below and all
other requirements, terms and conditions of the Bid Conditions. The
Lessee shall likewise require the Contractor to commit itself to the
said goals for minority and female utilization set forth below and
all other requirements, terms and conditions of the Bid Conditions by
submitting a properly signed bid.
II. The Lessee and the Contractor shall each appoint an
executive of its company to assume the responsibility for the
implementation of the requirements, terms and conditions of the
following Bid Conditions:
(a) The goals for minority and female participation
expressed in percentage terms for the Contractor's aggregate
workforce in each trade on all construction work are as follows:
(1) Minority participation
Minority, except laborers 30%
Minority, laborers 40%
(2) Female participation
Female, except laborers 6.9%
Female, laborers 6.9%
These goals are applicable to all the Contractor's
construction work performed in and for the premises.
The Contractor's specific affirmative action
obligations required herein of minority and female employment and
training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the
contract, and in each trade, and the Contractor shall make good faith
efforts to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its
projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees
from contractor to contractor or from project to project for the sole
purpose of meeting the Contractor's goals shall be a violation of the
contract. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the
total work hours performed.
(b) The Contractor shall provide written notification
to the Lessee and the Lessee shall provide written notification to
the Manager of the Office of Business and Job Opportunity of the Port
Authority within 10 working days of award of any construction
subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work.
The notification shall list the name, address and telephone number of
the subcontractor; employer identification number; estimated starting
and completion dates of the subcontract; and the geographical area in
which the subcontract is to be performed.
(c) As used in these specifications:
(1) "Employer identification number" means the
Federal Social Security number used on the Employer's Quarterly
Federal Tax Return, U.S. Treasury Department Form 941:
(2) "Minority" includes:
(i) Black (all persons having origins in any of
the Black African racial groups not of Hispanic origin);
(ii) Hispanic (all persons of Mexican, Puerto
Rican, Dominican, Cuban, Central or South American culture or origin,
regardless of race);
(iii) Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons
having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East,
Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands); and
(iv) American Indian or Alaskan Native (all
persons having origins in any of the original peoples of North
America and maintaining identifiable tribal affiliations through
membership and participation or community identification).
(d) Whenever the Contractor, or any subcontractor at
any tier, subcontracts a portion of the construction work involving
any construction trade, it shall physically include in each
subcontract in excess of $10,000 those provisions which include the
applicable goals for minority and female participation.
(e) The Contractor shall implement the specific
affirmative action standards provided in subparagraphs (1) through
(16) of Paragraph (h) hereof. The goals set forth above are
expressed as percentages of the total hours of employment and
training of minority and female utilization the Contractor should
reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which it
has employees in the premises. The Contractor is expected to make
substantially uniform progress toward its goals in each craft during
the period specified.
(f) Neither the provisions of any collective
bargaining agreement, nor the failure by a union with whom the
Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to refer either
minorities or women shall excuse the Contractor's obligations
hereunder.
(g) In order for the nonworking training hours of
apprentices and trainees to be counted in meeting the goals, such
apprentices and trainees must be employed by the Contractor during
the training period, and the Contractor must have made a commitment
to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their
training subject to the availability of employment opportunities.
Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs approved by
the U.S. Department of Labor.
(h) The Contractor shall take specific affirmative
actions to ensure equal employment opportunity ("EEO").
The evaluation of the Contractor's compliance with
these provisions shall be based upon its good faith efforts to
achieve maximum results from its actions. The Contractor shall
document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action
steps at least as extensive as the following:
(1) Ensure and maintain a working environment free of
harassment, intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all
facilities at which the Contractor's employees are assigned to
work. The Contractor, where possible, will assign two or more
women to each Phase of the construction project. The
Contractor, shall specifically ensure that all foremen,
superintendents, and other supervisory personnel at the premises
are aware of and carry out the Contractor's obligation to
maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to
minority or female individuals working at the premises.
(2) Establish and maintain a current list of minority
and female recruitment sources, provide written notification to
minority and female recruitment sources and to community

and telephone number of each minority and female off-the-street
applicant and minority or female referral from a union, a
recruitment source or community organization and of what action
was taken with respect to each such individual. If such
individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and
was not referred back to the Contractor by union or, if
referred, not employed by the Contractor, this shall be
documented in the file with the reason therefor, along with
whatever additional actions the Contractor may have taken.
(4) Provide immediate written notification to the
Lessee when the union or unions with which the Contractor has a
collective bargaining agreement has not referred to the
Contractor a minority person or woman sent by the Contractor, or
when the Contractor has other information that the union
referral process has impeded the Contractor's efforts to meet
its obligations.
(5) Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or
participate in training programs for the area which expressly
include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and
apprenticeship and training programs relevant to the
Contractor's employment needs, especially those programs funded
or approved by the Department of Labor. The Contractor shall
provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under
subparagraph (2) above.
(6) Disseminate the Contractor's EEO Policy by
providing notice of the policy to unions and training programs
and requesting their cooperation in assisting the Contractor in
meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy
manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in
the Contractor's newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific
review of the policy with all management personnel and with all
minority and female employees at least once a year; and by
posting the Contractor's EEO policy on bulletin boards
accessible to all employees at each location where Construction
work is performed.
(7) Review, at least every six months the
Contractor's EEO policy and affirmative action obligations
hereunder with all employees having any responsibility for
hiring, assignment, layoff, termination or other employment
decision including specific review of these items with
on-premises supervisory personnel such as Superintendents,
General Foremen, etc., prior to the initiation of construction
work at the premises. A written record shall be made and
maintained identifying the time and place of these meetings,
persons attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of
the subject matter.
(8) Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy
externally by including it in any advertising in the news media,
specifically including minority and female news media, and
providing written notification to and discussing the
Contractor's EEO policy with other Contractors and
Subcontractors with whom the Contractor does or anticipates
doing business.
(9) Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and
written, to minority, female and community organizations, to
schools with minority and female students and to minority and
female recruitment and training organizations and to
State-certified minority referral agencies serving the
Contractor's recruitment area and employment needs. Not later
than one month prior to the date for the acceptance of
applications for apprenticeship or other training by any
recruitment source, the Contractor shall send written
notification to organizations such as the above, describing the
openings, screening procedures, and tests to be used in the
selection process.
(10) Encourage present minority and female employees
to recruit other minority persons and women and, where
reasonable, provide after school, summer and vacation employment
to minority and female youth both on the premises and in areas
of a Contractor's workforce.
(11) Tests and other selecting requirements shall
comply with 41 CFR Part 60-3.
(12) Conduct, at least every six months, an inventory
and evaluation at least of all minority and female personnel for
promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek
or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such
opportunities.
(13) Ensure that seniority practices, job
classifications, work assignments and other personnel practices,
do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring
all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that
the EEO policy and the Contractor's obligations hereunder are
being carried out.
(14) Ensure that all facilities and company activities
are nonsegregated except that separate or single-user toilet and
necessary changing facilities shall be provided to assure
privacy between the sexes.
(15) Document and maintain a record of all
solicitations of offers for subcontracts from minority and
female construction contractors and suppliers, including
circulation of solicitations to minority and female contractor
associations and other business associations.
(16) Conduct a review, at least every six months, of
all supervisors' adherence to and performance under the
Contractors' EEO policies and affirmative action obligations.
(i) Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary
associations which assist in fulfilling one or more of their
affirmative action obligations (subparagraphs (1)-(16) of Paragraph
(h) above). The efforts of a contractor association, joint
contractor-union, contractor-community, or other similar group of
which the Contractor is a member and participant, may be asserted as
fulfilling any one or more of its obligations under Paragraph (h)
hereof provided that: the Contractor actively participates in the
group, makes good faith efforts to assure that the group has a
positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the
industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are
reflected in the Contractor's minority and female workforce
participation, makes good faith efforts to meet its individual goals
and timetables, and can provide access to documentation which
demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the
Contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor's
and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a
defense for the Contractor's non-compliance.
(j) A single goal for minorities and a separate single
goal for women have been established. The Contractor, however, is
required to provide equal opportunity and to take affirmative action
for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both
minority and non-minority. Consequently, the Contractor may be in
violation hereof if a particular group is employed in a substantially
disparate manner (for example, even though the Contractor has
achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in
violation hereof if a specific minority group of women is
underutilized).
(k) The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables
or affirmative action standards to discriminate against any person
because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
(l) The Contractor shall not enter into any subcontract
with any person or firm debarred from Government contracts pursuant
to Executive Order 11246.
(m) The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and
penalties for violation of this clause including suspension,
termination and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be
imposed or ordered by the Lessee. Any Contractor who fails to carry
out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation hereof.
(n) The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations
hereunder shall implement specific affirmative actions steps, at
least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph (h)
hereof so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure
equal employment opportunity. If the Contractor fails to comply with
the requirements of these provisions, the Lessee shall proceed
accordingly.
(o) The Contractor shall designate a responsible official
to monitor all employment related activity to ensure that the company
EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the
provisions hereof as may be required and to keep records. Records
shall at least include for each employee the name, address, telephone
numbers, construction trade, union affiliation if any, employee
identification number when assigned, social security number, race,
sex, status (e.g. mechanical apprentice, trainee, helper, or
laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the
indicated trade, rate of pay, and location at which the work is
performed. Records shall be maintained in an easily understandable
and retrievable form; however, to the degree that existing records
satisfy this requirement, contractors shall not be required to
maintain separate records.
(p) Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a
limitation upon the application of any laws which establish different
standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for
the hiring of local or other area residents (e.g., those under the
Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development
Block Grant Program).
(q) Without limiting any other obligation, term or
provision under the Lease, the Contractor shall cooperate with all
federal, state or local agencies established for the purpose of
implementing affirmative action compliance programs and shall comply
with all procedures and guidelines established or which may be
established by the Port Authority.
PART II. MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISES/WOMEN-OWNED
BUSINESS ENTERPRISES
As a matter of policy the Port Authority requires the
Lessee and the Lessee shall itself and shall require the general
contractor or other construction supervisor and each of the Lessee's
contractors to use every good faith effort to provide for meaningful
participation by Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Women-owned
Business Enterprises (WBEs) in the construction work pursuant to the
provisions of this Schedule E. For purposes hereof, "Minority
Business Enterprise" "(MBE)" shall mean any business enterprise which
is at least fifty-one percentum owned by, or in the case of a
publicly owned business, at least fifty-one percentum of the stock of
which is owned by citizens or permanent resident aliens who are
minorities and such ownership is real, substantial and continuing.
For the purposes hereof, "Women-owned Business Enterprise" "(WBE)"
shall mean any business enterprise which is at least fifty-one
percentum owned by, or in the case of a publicly owned business, at
least fifty-one percentum of the stock of which is owned by women and
such ownership is real, substantial and continuing. A minority shall
be as defined in paragraph II(c) of Part I of this Schedule E.
"Meaningful participation" shall mean that at least seventeen percent
(17%) of the total dollar value of the construction contracts
(including subcontracts) covering the construction work are for the
participation of Minority Business Enterprises and Women-owned
Business Enterprises, of which at least twelve percent (12%) are for
the participation of Minority Business Enterprises. Good faith
efforts to include meaningful participation by MBEs and WBEs shall
include at least the following:
(a) Dividing the work to be subcontracted into
smaller portions where feasible.
(b) Actively and affirmatively soliciting bids for
subcontracts from MBEs and WBEs, including circulation of
solicitations to minority and female contractor associations. The
Contractor shall maintain records detailing the efforts made to
provide for meaningful MBE and WBE participation in the work,
including the names and addresses of all MBEs and WBEs contacted and,
if any such MBE or WBE is not selected as a joint venturer or
subcontractor, the reason for such decision.
(c) Making plans and specifications for prospective
construction work available to MBEs and WBEs in sufficient time for
review.
(d) Utilizing the list of eligible MBEs and WBEs
maintained by the Port Authority or seeking minorities and women from
other sources for the purpose of soliciting bids for subcontractors.
(e) Encouraging the formation of joint ventures,
partnerships or other similar arrangements among subcontractors,
where appropriate, to insure that the Lessee and Contractor will meet
their obligations hereunder.
(f) Insuring that provision is made to provide
progress payments to MBEs and WBEs on a timely basis.
(g) Not requiring bonds from and/or providing bonds
and insurance for MBEs and WBEs, where appropriate.
Certification of MBEs and WBEs hereunder shall be made by
the Office of Business and Job Opportunity of the Port Authority. If
the Contractor wishes to utilize a firm not already certified by the
Port Authority, it shall submit to the Port Authority a written
request for a determination that the proposed firm is eligible for
certification. This shall be done by completing and forwarding such
form as may be then required by the Port Authority. All such
requests shall be in writing addressed to the Office of Business and
Job Opportunity, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Xxx
Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, 00 Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 or such other
address as the Port Authority may specify by notice to the Lessee.
Certification shall be effective only if made in writing by the
Director in charge of the Office of Business and Job Opportunity of
the Port Authority. The determination of the Port Authority shall be
final and binding.
The Port Authority has compiled a list of the firms that
the Port Authority has determined satisfy the criteria for MBE and
WBE certification. This list may be supplemented and revised from
time to time by the Port Authority. Such list shall be made
available to the Contractor upon request. The Port Authority makes
no representation as to the financial responsibility of such, firms,
their technical competence to perform, or any other
performance-related qualifications.
Only MBE's and WBE's certified by the Port Authority will
count toward the MBE and WBE goals.
Please note that only sixty percent (60%) of expenditures
to MBE or WBE suppliers will count towards meeting the MBE and WBE
goals. However, expenditures to MBE or WBE manufacturer's (i.e.
suppliers that produce goods from raw materials or substantially
alter them before resale) are counted dollar for dollar.
