4.01 Airline Rights and Privileges at Both Airports. The
Airline, together with others so authorized, shall have the
following rights to use the Premises and Equipment leased to the
Airline pursuant to Article 6, and certain other facilities at
the Airports, including, but not limited to, Common Use Premises,
all as shown in Exhibits N-B and D-B, but not including Premises
leased Exclusively, Preferentially, or Jointly to others, for the
operation of the Airline's Air Transportation Business. These
rights are subject to the terms of this Agreement, including the
exclusions, reservations, and conditions set forth in Sections
4.02, 4.03, and 4.04 and the payment obligation set forth in
Article 8. These rights are as follows:
4.01.1 To land upon, take off from, and fly over the

Airline's aircraft and support equipment on the Airport in areas
designated for such purposes by the Authority, and, in all
events, on the terms and conditions imposed by the Authority.
4.01.2 To enplane and deplane persons, mail, and/or

services for itself at the Airports.
4.01.3 To train personnel in the employ of or to be
employed by the Airline at the Airports in the operation of the
Airline's Air Transportation Business.
4.01.4 To sell, dispose of, or exchange the Airline's
aircraft, engines, accessories, gasoline, oil, grease,
lubricants, or other similar equipment or supplies, except

shall not be construed to prohibit the Airline from selling or
otherwise conveying aviation fuels or propellants to an Air
Transportation Company which is a successor company to the
Airline or to another Signatory Airline from time to time.
4.01.5 To select, together with the other Signatory
Airlines, a single Fueling Agent for each Airport, and to

Authority, or between the Authority and the Fueling Agent
selected in accordance with Paragraph 4.02.6.
4.01.6 To install and maintain in the Airline's Premises,
at the Airline's sole cost and expense, identifying signs,

however, identifying signs, posters, displays, and other similar
materials shall not be permitted on the Ramp Area, and provided,
further, that only the corporate identifiers or "logos" of the
Air Transportation Companies using the holdroom shall be
permitted in a holdroom area. All such signs, posters, displays,
and other similar materials must be approved in writing by the
Authority prior to use at the Airport. The Authority reserves
the right to place advertising displays in all areas of the
Airport that are visible to the public excluding the Exclusive
Use Premises and holdroom areas leased to the Airline. The
Authority agrees not to allow the placement of advertising of
competing route services in the Airline's Premises or common use

4.01.13 To furnish and operate a preferred customer or
"VIP" club for the Airline's passengers in Premises designated
for this purpose by the Authority. Further, such preferred
customer or "VIP" club may be shared with one or more other Air
Transportation Companies; provided, however, that the club is
leased to the Airline only, and provided that the rights of all
the Air Transportation Companies using the club terminate when
such lease terminates.
4.01.14 To install telephones, telefax, and other
telecommunications devices and conduit in the Airline's Premises
that are not accessible to the public. The Authority retains the
right to install all public telephones, telefax, and other
telecommunications devices and conduit in all areas of the
Airports accessible to the public, including the Premises leased
to the Airline, and to collect the proceeds therefrom; provided,
however, the Airlines may install telephones and telefax in the
Airline's "VIP" club. If the Airline installs public telephones
or telefax in its "VIP" club, it shall pay to the Authority a
monthly payment of fifty percent (50%) of the gross revenues
received by the Airline from any source from the installation and
operation of such telephones or telefax.

the Airline or the Airline's parent company, an establishment for
the cooking and preparation of food and beverages for consumption
only by passengers and crews on the Airline's aircraft and in the
Airline's "VIP" club, if any; provided that the Authority
determines, in its discretion, that space is available on the
Airports for this purpose and that, if such space is not included
and designated in the Airline's Premises, the Airline enters into
a separate agreement for such cooking and food preparation space
with the Authority. Such food and beverages shall not be
intended for consumption by any persons except the Airline's
passengers and crews while on the Airline's aircraft, patrons of
Airline's "VIP" club, and such employees directly engaged in the
cooking and preparation of such food and beverages; provided,
however, upon entering a separate agreement with the Authority,
and subject to fees and conditions as set forth therein, the
Airline may provide these services to one or more other Air
Transportation Companies operating from the Airport, including
another Signatory Airline.
4.01.16 To purchase prepared food and beverages for
consumption by passengers and crews on the Airline's aircraft and
in the Airline's "VIP" club, if any; provided, however, if the
Airline purchases catering, not including beverages and
complimentary packages of snack food to be consumed on the
Airline's aircraft, from an off-Airport caterer including, but
not limited to, an Air Transportation Company, for delivery of
prepared food and/or beverages to the Airline on the Airport,
said caterer will be required to have a contract with the
Authority and to pay a fee to the Authority at a rate equal to
the rate paid by the Authority's inflight food catering
concessionaires located on that Airport. The Airline shall not
purchase any prepared food or beverage from a caterer for
delivery on the Airports unless and until the caterer is
authorized by the Authority to do business on the Airports.
4.01.17 To acquire, by purchase or otherwise, any Air
Transportation Business-related services and/or supplies from any
agent, contractor, or other Signatory Airline subject to the
conditions of Paragraph 4.02.5.
4.02 Exclusions, Reservations, and Conditions. The rights
granted to the Airline under this Agreement shall be strictly
construed, and may be exercised by the Airline only to the extent
such rights are necessary or incidental to the conduct by the
Airline of its Air Transportation Business. Except with the
prior written approval of the Authority, the Airline is
prohibited from conducting any business on the Airport separate
and apart from the conduct of its Air Transportation Business.
4.02.1 If the Airline receives notice from the Authority,
or if the Airline reasonably should know (i) that it is
materially interfering with the use, operation or maintenance of
the Airport, including but not limited to, the safe and efficient
use of the Airfield and the effectiveness or accessibility of the
drainage, sewerage, water, communications, fire protection,
utility, electrical, or other systems installed or located from
time to time at the Airport; (ii) that it is causing or
contributing to a dangerous or hazardous condition; or (iii) that
it is in violation of law or applicable rules or regulations; the
Airline shall immediately cease such interference, or, where
immediate elimination of said interference is not possible, the
Airline shall immediately take corrective action and cause others
under its control to take corrective action to eliminate the
interference.
4.02.2 As soon as possible, after obtaining any necessary
approval from appropriate governmental agencies, the Airline
shall remove any of its disabled aircraft from the Landing Area
and Ramp Area upon the request of the Authority. The Airline
shall place any such disabled aircraft only in such storage areas
as may be designated by the Authority, and shall store such
disabled aircraft only upon such terms and conditions as at that
time may be established by the Authority, consistent with any
directives of the FAA and the National Transportation Safety
Board.
(i) In the event the Airline shall fail to remove any of
its disabled aircraft as expeditiously as possible, the Authority
may, but shall not be obligated to, cause the removal of such
disabled aircraft by any reasonable means; provided however, the
Authority shall give the Airline prior notice of its intent to do
so.
(ii) If the Authority removes, or causes another to remove
the Airline's disabled aircraft, the Airline shall pay to the
Authority, upon receipt of an invoice, the costs incurred for
such removal, including the cost of labor. The Airline shall
also pay any damages incurred by, or imposed upon the Authority
as a result of the disabled aircraft.
4.02.3 Except as may otherwise be authorized herein or in
separate agreements between the Airline and the Authority, the
Airline shall not provide to its passengers, other Air
Transportation Companies, or other persons on the Airport food or
beverages, products or services of a kind normally provided by
Airport concessionaires nor shall the Airline maintain or operate
on the Airport a cafeteria, restaurant, bar, or cocktail lounge,
stand, or any other facility for the purpose of providing food
and beverages to the public or to the Airline's employees and
passengers or to any other Air Transportation Company. This
prohibition shall not apply to the Airline's "VIP" club to the
extent the Airline provides, in such club, such food and
beverage, products or services on a complimentary basis and such
club is located and constructed in such a manner as to be
separate and distinct from the space that is accessible by the
public who are not members of the club and is physically
separated by a wall or walls from the Airline's passenger
holdroom or boarding area, where persons holding tickets to board
the Airline's aircraft are congregating. Further, it shall not
be construed to apply to the provision of food, beverages,
products, or services aboard an aircraft.
4.02.4 The Airline shall not use, store, transport, or
dispose of any fuels, oil, grease, lubricants, or other hazardous
materials to, from, within, or upon the Airports in a manner
which violates federal, state, local, or Authority laws and
regulations.
4.02.5 If the Airline uses anyone other than its own
employees, the employees of a parent or subsidiary company, or
those of another Signatory Airline to perform the Air
Transportation Business services and related activity authorized
in this Article, the person or entity providing the service may
be required to meet the Authority's reasonable qualifications for
doing business on the Airports, and obtain an Authority permit,
license, or contract if required to do so by the Authority. The
Authority may also require the person or entity providing the
services to pay reasonable fees or rents, except as otherwise
provided in Section 8.10. The Airline shall provide the
Authority with a copy of any contract or agreement between the
Airline and the agent or contractor upon the Authority's request.
4.02.6 The Authority reserves the right to impose
reasonable conditions on the use of the Fueling System at either
Airport whenever a separate agreement on the use of the system is
not in effect. In the event the Signatory Airlines fail to
select a Fueling Agent by October 1, 1990, the Authority shall
have the right to select its own agent to be responsible for the
overall operation and maintenance of the Fueling System and to
award a contract for a period not to exceed five (5) years to
such agent; provided, however, that the Authority shall not
select a Fueling Agent without first providing notice to the
Signatory Airlines at the Airport (i) of the Authority's intent
to select an agent, and (ii) of the anticipated date that the
agent will assume responsibility for the Fueling System1 which
date shall be at least ninety (90) days after the date of the
said notice; and, provided, further, that if the Signatory
Airlines thereafter select a different Fueling Agent, in
accordance with Paragraph 4.01.5, the Authority shall, upon
receipt of a written request from the Signatory Airlines,
terminate its contract with the Fueling Agent selected by it at
the earliest date upon which such contract may be terminated
without penalty and shall thereupon enter into an agreement with
such different Fueling Agent in accordance with Paragraph 4.01.5.
4.02.7 The Authority reserves the right to either
temporarily or permanently restrict the use of any roadway,
taxiway, or runway or other area at the Airport at any time,
provided, that in the event of such restrictions, the Authority
shall ensure the availability of reasonable ingress and egress,
and shall not unreasonably restrict Airfield operations.
4.03 Operating Rights, Exclusions, and Conditions Applicable Only
at National. In addition to the Airline's rights, privileges,
and exclusions enumerated in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, the
following rights, privileges, and exclusions are applicable to
the Airline's operations at National:
4.03.1 The Airline may (i) use only those Aircraft
Parking Positions at National shown on Exhibit N-B for enplaning
and deplaning passengers, baggage, cargo and/or mail, and the
servicing of aircraft; (ii) park an aircraft that is ready for
immediate use as an extra section of a scheduled flight only at
an area designated on Exhibit N-B; and (iii) park an aircraft

Dulles Jet Apron positions assigned by the Authority for
enplaning and deplaning passengers, baggage, cargo and mail, and
for servicing of aircraft.
4.04.2 If the Airline leases space in the Airside
Operations Building on the Dulles Jet Apron, the Authority, in
its assignment of Dulles Jet Apron positions, will use its best
efforts to assign the Airline those positions which are
reasonably convenient to the Airline's Airside Operations
Building space. The Airline may park aircraft overnight at a
location other than the Airline's Aircraft Parking Positions, or
assigned Dulles Jet Apron positions, if any, only with the prior
permission of the Authority and on reasonable terms and
conditions, including payment of fees as set forth in Section
8.04.
4.04.3 The Airline shall use only the Fueling Agent to
fuel its aircraft, except that the Airline may use the Fixed Base
Operators at Dulles to fuel the Airline's aircraft if the
aircraft are on the FBO's own premises or on the Cargo Ramp,
except as may be agreed to in a separate agreement between the
Authority and the Fueling Agent.
4.04.4 The Airline may not load or unload cargo from all-
cargo aircraft on the passenger Ramp Area adjacent to the
Terminal or the Dulles Jet Apron positions.
ARTICLE 5.
TRANSITION PROVISIONS
5.01 Implementation of Capital Development Program. The
Authority and the Airline agree that completion of the Capital
Development Program shown in Exhibits N-I and D-I entails (i) the
physical modification or removal of some Existing Airport
Facilities and (ii) the modification in the function or use of
other Existing Airport Facilities (whether or not these
facilities are physically modified) and, in particular, the
reduction in the number of Aircraft Parking Positions used for
aircraft of other than Regional/Commuter Air Carriers in the
Existing Airport Facilities at National Airport. Notwithstanding
the preceding two sentences, after construction of the Capital
Development Program at National Airport, the number of Aircraft
Parking Positions for aircraft of Scheduled Air Carriers (other
than Regional/Commuter Air-Carriers) at National where passengers
enplane and deplane through a loading bridge shall be forty-four
(44), the same as in the Existing Airport Facilities at National.
5.02 Temporary Airline Premises.
5.02.1 In order to implement the Capital Development
Program in accordance with Section 5.01, the Airline agrees that
the Premises leased to it pursuant to Section 6.01 will be deemed
to be Temporary Airline Premises (TAP), and the Premises to be
leased to it pursuant to Section 6.02 will be deemed to be the
Airline's Permanent Premises. The implementation of the Capital
Development Program may require the Airline to lease TAP on the
Effective Date hereof. Further, the Airline may be required to
relocate on a temporary or permanent basis, from TAP to Premises
that are different from those that the Airline occupies on the
Effective Date. Such relocation is anticipated by the Airline
and the Authority but will occur only if it is reasonably
necessary to accomplish the Capital Development Program.
Further, such relocation may be from TAP into other TAP until the
Airline relocates to Permanent Premises. However, at Dulles, the
Airlines will not be required to relocate from the TAP initially
leased under Section 6.01 into other TAP except as follows:
(i) To implement the expansion and rehabilitation of the
Dulles Main Terminal;
(ii) To implement Dulles Stage II of the Capital Development
Program; or Article 17.
(iii) As part of a relocation required by Article 17.
5.02.2 Unless a different notice period and procedure is
agreed to, the Airline's occupancy and use of TAP are subject to
the notice and process provided in Paragraphs 5.02.3, 5.02.4, and
5.02.5 to vacate the TAP and to relocate to other TAP or to
Airline's Permanent Premises. The Authority agrees to use its
best efforts to (i) relocate the Airline to TAP suitable for the
conduct of the Airline's Air Transportation Business, but not
necessarily comparable in size, location, access, or other
features of the Premises originally leased under Section 6.01,
(ii) minimize operational disruptions to the Airline as a result
of such relocations, and (iii) maintain a phasing schedule for
implementation of the Capital Development Program, including the
Substantial Completion Date of the Airline's Permanent Premises
so as to not unreasonably interfere with the Airline's operation.
5.02.3 When, in the judgment of the Authority,
implementation of the Capital Development Program requires the
Airline to vacate TAP, the Authority shall give to the Airline
not less than sixty (60) calendar days written notice to vacate
any, or all, of the TAP, and the Authority shall then have the
right to amend the Exhibits to this Agreement to reflect the
deletion of the TAP from the Airline's Premises and in the
Authority's sole discretion, to lease said TAP to another tenant
or to close said TAP. The Airline agrees to vacate the TAP on
the date specified in the said written notice, regardless of
whether that date is the last day of the month; provided,
however, that if the Airline notifies the Authority as promptly
as is reasonably practicable upon receipt of such notice that it
cannot reasonably prepare the TAP to which the Airline is being
relocated within such notice period, and the reasons therefor,
the Airline shall have additional time, not to exceed thirty (30)
days, to vacate the TAP.
5.02.4 The Airline agrees that it will cooperate with the
Authority in moving to TAP, in moving from TAP to other TAP, and
in moving to Permanent Premises, and that it will move in such a
manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the Authority's
planned Capital Development Program. The allocation of the
Airline's costs associated with relocation to assist the Capital
Development Program shall be in accordance with the Authority
policy attached hereto as Exhibit A-P.
5.02.5 The Airline, while occupying TAP, shall be subject
to all of the other conditions and terms of this Agreement.
5.03 Transition to Permanent Premises.
5.03.1 The Authority shall give written notice to the
Airline of the estimated Substantial Completion Date of the
Airline's Permanent Premises, at least one hundred and twenty
(120) days prior to said date. The Airline will be permitted to
install its own equipment and furnishings in the Airline's
Permanent Premises beginning sixty (60) days prior to such
estimated Substantial Completion Date.
5.03.2 The Airline shall move into and occupy its
Permanent Premises on or before the actual Substantial Completion
Date of such Permanent Premises whereupon such Permanent Premises
shall not be considered TAP subject to Section 5.02; provided,
however, that if the Airline notifies the Authority as promptly
as is reasonably practicable upon receipt of the notice specified
in Paragraph 5.03.1 that it cannot reasonably prepare its
Permanent Premises by the estimated Substantial Completion Date,
and the reasons therefor, the Airline shall have additional time,
not to exceed thirty (30) days, to move into and occupy its
Permanent Premises. Unless a different payment is required by
Section 8.14, the Airline shall be subject to, and shall pay, the
rentals, fees, and charges for its Permanent Premises beginning
on the actual Substantial Completion Date thereof regardless of
whether the Airline occupies its Permanent Premises prior to, on,
or after such actual Substantial Completion Date.
5.03.3 If the Airline's Permanent Premises are not
completed by the estimated Substantial Completion Date that was
contained in the written notice given by the Authority pursuant
to Paragraph 5.03.1, the Authority shall not be liable to the
Airline for failure to deliver possession or to complete said
Permanent Premises by said date. The Authority will notify the
Airline of any change in such estimated Substantial Completion
Date.
ARTICLE 6.

6.04 Allocation of Premises at Dulles. At Dulles, prior to the
completion of the design of the westerly expansion of the Main
Terminal, and subsequently, prior to the completion of the design
of the easterly expansion of the Main Terminal, the Authority
will determine the location of each Airline's Premises in the
expanded Main Terminal. The following will be the primary, but
not exclusive, considerations in establishing the priority order
of allocation:
(i) The amount of space committed to by each Airline in an
executed use and lease agreement;
(ii) The individual Airline's preference with respect to
location of its leasable Premises, and the desirability of, and
operational requirements for, contiguous space for related
functions; and
(iii) The efficient phasing and implementation of the
Main Terminal expansion, whereby relocations are minimized and
flexibility for construction phasing is maximized.
6.05 Modification of Premises. In the event that the Authority
and the Airline, by mutual agreement, add additional space or
spaces to, or delete space or spaces from, the various Premises
of the Airline, Exhibits N-B or D-B, as applicable, shall be
revised accordingly to reflect such addition or deletion and the
revised exhibits shall be incorporated into the Agreement. Space
added to the Airline's Premises shall be subject to all of the
terms, conditions, requirements, and limitations of this
Agreement and the Airline shall pay to the Authority all rentals,
fees, and charges applicable to such additional space in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
6.06 Addition of Equipment.
6.06.1 Subject to Paragraph 6.06.3, the Authority
reserves the right to acquire and install Equipment in, upon, and
adjacent to, the Airline's Premises but only in one or more of
the following events:
(i) The acquisition and installation of the Equipment is
identified as part of the Capital Development Program;
(ii) The acquisition and installation of Equipment is
identified as part of any Additional Project;
(iii) In any Premises, whenever there is a change in
tenants; or
(iv) Such acquisition and installation are agreed to between
the Airline and the Authority.
6.06.2 The Airline agrees to facilitate the installation
of the Equipment, including, upon reasonable notice from the
Authority, the decommissioning and removal, at the Airline's
expense, of the Airline's equipment, if any, that is to be
replaced by Equipment pursuant to Paragraph 6.06.1.
6.06.3 Prior to the acquisition and installation of
Equipment pursuant to Paragraph 6.06.1, the Authority shall
consult with the Airlines with respect to the technical standards
and requirements applicable to such Equipment. So long as such
Equipment meets such standards and requirements, the Airline may
select the vendor or supplier of Equipment for the Airline's
Premises. At the request of the Airline, and provided that it
would not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the Bonds,
the Authority may allow the Airline to initially purchase the
Equipment and be subsequently reimbursed by the Authority.
6.07 Adjustment of Dimensions. After the Substantial Completion
Date of each Airline's Permanent Premises, the actual square
footage of the Airline's Premises shall be determined by the
Authority from actual measurements, and incorporated into revised
Exhibits N-B and N-C, and D-B and D-C. If measurements are to be
taken, the Airline shall be notified in advance and shall be
entitled to have a representative present when such measurements
are taken. Premises consisting of enclosed space shall be
measured for interior space from the center line of interior
walls to the inside face of exterior walls.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
7.01 Authority Responsibilities.
7.01.1 The Authority shall, with reasonable
diligence and prudence, operate and maintain the Airports
with adequate, efficient, qualified personnel, and keep the
Airports in good condition and repair, including the
Terminals, Ramp Area, Existing and New Midfield Concourses,
Airside Operations Buildings, and any Passenger Conveyances
between Existing and New Midfield Concourses or between
aircraft and Terminals and the visual public display of
arrival and departure flight information for the Dulles Main
Terminal.
7.01.2 The Authority shall, with reasonable
diligence and prudence, act to maintain the Landing Area for
the safe and proper use thereof by the Airline, including
the clearing and removal of snow from the runways and
taxiways as quickly as reasonably practicable.
7.01.3 The Authority will operate and maintain the
Airports in a manner at least equal to the standards
established by the FAA to maintain the Airport Operating
Certificates and any other governmental agency having
jurisdiction thereof, except for conditions beyond the
control of the Authority.
7.01.4 The Authority shall not be liable to the
Airline for temporary failure to furnish all or any services
to be provided by the Authority hereunder, whether due to
mechanical breakdown or for any other causes beyond the
reasonable control of the Authority.
7.01.5 The Authority's operation and maintenance
responsibilities are set forth in Exhibits D-D and N-D,
except that the Airline and the Authority may agree to a
different allocation of maintenance responsibility in
Exhibits N-B and D-B (leasehold exhibits) in which event any
conflict between Exhibits D-D and ND and D-B and N-B shall
be resolved in accordance with Exhibits D-B and N-B.
Further, and except as may be provided in Exhibits D-B and N-
B, the Authority shall not be obligated to perform the
operation and maintenance responsibilities designated by
Section 7.02 and Exhibits N-D and D-D as being the
responsibility of the Airline, or for which the Airline,
another Signatory Airline, or any other person has assumed
such responsibility by separate written agreement with the
Authority, including a Surviving Agreement.
7.01.6 The Authority shall provide, operate, and
maintain the Passenger Conveyance system at Dulles,
including a sufficient number of trained personnel. The
Authority shall provide adequate Passenger Conveyances for
the transportation of passengers between the Main Terminal
and the Airline's aircraft that are parked on remote hard
stand or on the Dulles Jet Apron at a parking position that
is not serviced by a passenger holdroom and a loading
bridge. The Airline shall determine who boards Passenger
Conveyances traveling between the Dulles Main Terminal and
its aircraft directly. On Passenger Conveyances serving
aircraft directly, passengers enplaning or deplaning for
more than one aircraft operation shall not be combined in a
single one-way trip. Except in an emergency, the Authority
shall not be obligated to provide transportation directly
between the Terminal and the Airline's aircraft which is, or
in the reasonable judgment of the Authority can be, parked
at an Aircraft Parking Position at the Existing Midfield
Concourse or New Midfield Concourse(s) and served by a
passenger holdroom and a loading bridge. If the Passenger
Conveyance has departed directly for the Airline's aircraft
before all of the Airline's passengers have boarded it, the
Airline may transport its passengers to or from its aircraft
by another means subject to the Authority's approval.
7.01.7 The Authority and the Airline recognize that
regular, shuttle-type mobile lounge service of high quality
is important for the proper transportation of passengers to
and from the Existing Midfield Concourse. The Authority
agrees:
(i) To use its reasonable best efforts to provide
mobile lounge service from the Dulles Main Terminal to the
Existing Midfield Concourse beginning one hour before any
Airline's first departure from the Existing Midfield
Concourse and will continue to operate on a regular basis
until a half hour after the' last scheduled flight arrives,
even if that flight is later than its scheduled arrival.
(ii) To use its reasonable best efforts so that (a)
after a mobile lounge departs from a terminus another takes
its place as soon as practicable, and (b) regardless of the
number of passengers carried, mobile lounges depart the
terminus after waiting no more than five minutes for
boarding passengers; provided that a lounge may remain at
one or each terminus for a longer period if no passengers of
a Signatory Airline are waiting service for transportation.
(iii) An adequate number of gates at the Dulles
Main Terminal will be designated as the gates from which the
mobile lounges to the Existing Midfield Concourses will
operate. The Authority reserves the right to designate
different or additional gates for this service from time to
time upon reasonable notice to the Airlines whose aircraft
operate at the Existing Midfield Concourse.
7.02 Airline Responsibilities - General. The Airline shall
perform custodial grounds and interior maintenance,
including janitorial services, to the non-public areas of
its Premises as specified in the Exhibits hereto, and such
other operations and maintenance responsibilities as
specified herein or by separate written agreement with the
Authority, including the Surviving Agreements. In addition,
the Airline shall be responsible for operation and
maintenance of all Airline Operating Facilities located
within its Premises.
7.02.1 The Airline shall supervise, or cause to be
supervised, all persons lawfully present on its Premises,
including, but not limited to, its Enplaning and Deplaning
Passengers on the loading bridges, persons traveling on
Passenger Conveyances directly to or from the Airline's
aircraft, persons traveling on buses or similar vehicles
operated by the Airline, and on all paths, walkways, and
Ramp Areas used by the passengers to move between the
Terminal and/or Passenger Conveyances, and the Airline's
aircraft.
7.02.2 The Airline shall operate, maintain, and
repair, at its own expense (i) any loading bridges and
ground power/preconditioned air units located at its
assigned Aircraft Parking Positions, and (ii) any outbound
baggage makeup conveyor system located on its Premises,
whether or not title to such bridges, ground
power/preconditioned air units, or baggage conveyors rests
with the Airline or the Authority; provided, however, the
Authority retains the right to assume responsibility for
operation, maintenance, and repair of any Equipment upon
thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Airlines, and
provided, further, that nothing herein shall relieve the
Airline of the obligation to pay Equipment Charges for any
Equipment, as set forth in Section 8.05 and Exhibits N-H and
D-H.
7.02.3 Except as authorized in writing by the
Authority, or except in an emergency, the Landing Area of
the Airport shall not be used by any of the Airline's
aircraft which exceed the design strength of the Landing
Area as described in the then current FAA-approved Airport
Layout Plan. In addition, the Authority may prohibit or
restrict the use of the Ramp Area by any aircraft the wheel
loading of which exceeds the design strength of the pavement
as determined by the Authority.
7.02.4 The Airline shall, together with all other
Signatory Airlines, operate, maintain, and repair the
triturator at each Airport through a common agent of and
selected by the Signatory Airlines; provided, however, there
shall be no more than one such agent at each Airport1 and
that such agent shall be subject to the approval of the
Authority.
7.03 Additional Airline Responsibilities at National.
7.03.1 At National, the Airline shall be responsible
for custodial grounds maintenance, including removal of
snow, ice, vegetation, stones, fuel, oil, grease, debris,
and all other foreign matter from the Ramp Areas and

Aircraft Parking Positions, and cargo handling areas at its
Premises, from the exterior face of the Terminal to the
nearest edge of the Airfield's vehicle lane, as depicted in
Exhibit N-B.
7.03.2 The Airline shall assume Pavement Structural
Maintenance responsibilities for its Aircraft Parking
Positions if the Airline (i) improperly parks aircraft on an
Aircraft Parking Position pad, or (ii) fails to perform the
custodial grounds maintenance responsibilities required by
Paragraph 7.03.1 and, in the Authority's determination, any
of these events is sufficient to cause damage to the
Aircraft Parking Position. The Authority shall provide the
Airline with written notice when it determines that any of
these events is sufficient to cause damage to the Aircraft
Parking Position. In that event, the cost of performing any
Pavement Structural Maintenance for those Aircraft Parking
Position(s) shall become payable by the Airline, without
reimbursement.
7.03.3 If the Airline desires to park heavier or
larger aircraft on an Aircraft Parking Position than the
Aircraft Parking Position was designed to accommodate, it
shall, prior to such use and subject to the approval of the
Authority, at its own cost and expense, improve the Aircraft
Parking Position so that it meets the Authority's standards
for such aircraft. In that event, the Airline shall be
entitled to reimbursement from the Authority for these
improvements at such time as, and to the extent that, the
Authority has funds available for such purpose.
7.04 Additional Airline Responsibilities at Dulles.
7.04.1 The Airline shall be responsible for
custodial grounds maintenance, including removal of snow,
ice, vegetation, stones, fuel, oil, grease, debris, and all
other foreign matter from the following Ramp Areas and
equipment storage areas at its Premises:
(i) If the Airline has Premises in the Existing
Midfield Concourses or Airside Operations Building on the
Dulles Jet Apron, the Airline shall perform custodial
grounds maintenance for the Dulles Jet Apron out from the
exterior wall of said Premises to the south edge of the
vehicle roadway on the north side of the Dulles Jet Apron,
and out to the north edge of the vehicle roadway to the
south, as depicted in Exhibit D-B.
(ii) If the Airline's Premises include any of the space
in the Base-of-the-Tower Facilities, the Airline shall
perform custodial grounds maintenance for the Ramp Area from
the south exterior wall of said Premises to the north edge
of the vehicle roadway, as depicted in Exhibit D-B.
7.04.2 If the Airline desires to park heavier or
larger aircraft on an Aircraft Parking Position than the
Aircraft Parking Position was designed to accommodate, it
shall, prior to such use and subject to the approval of the
Authority, at its own cost and expense, improve the Aircraft
Parking Position so that it meets the Authority's standards
for such aircraft. In that event, the Airline shall be
entitled to reimbursement from the Authority for these
improvements at such time as, and to the extent that, the
Authority has funds available for such purpose. In no event
shall the Airline park any aircraft with a fuselage longer
than one hundred twenty (120) feet at the Base-of-the-Tower
Facilities.
7.04.3 The Airline shall provide and maintain at its
expense, the telecommunications system between the Airline
and the mobile lounge controllers. The Airline will
cooperate with the Authority in its operation of the flight
information and mobile lounge dispatch communications system
by furnishing necessary information to the Authority's
controller through said system.
7.05 If the Airline fails to perform its maintenance
obligations hereunder, or as specified in Exhibits N-D and D-
D, or if the negligence or willful misconduct of the Airline
causes additional maintenance obligations for the Authority,
the Authority shall have the right, but shall not be
required, to perform such maintenance, and to charge the

ARTICLE 8.
RENTALS, FEES, AND CHARGES
8.01 General.
8.01.1 The Airline shall pay to the Authority rentals for
use of Premises at the Airports, and fees and charges for the
other rights, licenses, and privileges granted hereunder during
the Period of this Agreement. Such rentals, fees, and charges
shall be calculated based on allocations of Total Requirements,
reduced by Transfers, to the Cost Centers and Sub-Centers within
the Airline Supported Areas and as specifically provided for
herein and in Exhibits N-F and D-F and the accompanying
Schedules.
8.01.2 In each Fiscal Year at each Airport, the total of
rentals, fees, and charges payable by the Signatory Airlines
hereunder (and, with respect to the Airfield Cost Center, by the

8.02 Landing Fees.
8.02.1 Calculation of Rates. The Landing Fee rates for
each Airport in any Rate Period shall be calculated by dividing
each Airport's Airfield Net Requirement by the combined estimated
landed weight for all Air Transportation Companies and General
Aviation operating at that Airport during the Rate Period.
8.02.2 Rate Schedule. Schedules NF-l (National) and DF-l
(Dulles) show the calculation of Landing Fee rates for each Rate
Period.
8.02.3 Airline's Landing Fee Charges. Each month the
Airline shall pay to the Authority Landing Fees for Chargeable
Landings for the preceding month. The Airline's Landing Fees
shall be determined as the product of the appropriate Airport's
Landing Fee rate for the Rate Period, and the Airline's total
landed weight for the month. The Airline's total landed weight
at each Airport for the month shall be determined as the sum of
the products obtained by multiplying the Maximum Authorized Gross
Landed weight of each type of aircraft operated by the Airline at
each Airport by the number of Chargeable Landings of each said
aircraft operating at that respective Airport during such month.
8.03 Terminal Rentals, Fees, and Charges.
8.03.1 Calculation of Rates. The Terminal Rental rates
at each Airport in each Rate Period shall be calculated
separately for each Terminal Sub-Center. The rates for each type
of space shall be determined in the following Manner:
(i) First, for each Terminal Sub-Center at each Airport,
the Terminal Sub-Center average rental rates shall be calculated
as follows:
(a)Each Terminal Sub-Center Net Requirement
shall first be divided by total Rentable Space in that Sub-Center
to determine that Terminal Sub-Center's average rental rate for
the Rate Period; provided, however, the transition adjustments
related to the Capital Development Program as set forth in
Paragraph 8.03.2 shall be made prior to determining each Terminal
Sub-Center's average rental rates.
(b)The unadjusted Signatory Airline requirement
shall next be determined by multiplying the total amount of
Signatory Airline Premises and Common Use Premises in each
Terminal Sub-Center, as set forth on Schedules NF-1l and DF-13,
times the appropriate Terminal Sub-Center average rental rate.
(c)The unadjusted Signatory Airline requirement
shall then be reduced by the amount of Transfers, if any, and by
the amount, if any, of certain Revenues derived from Surviving
Agreements, applicable to each Terminal Sub-Center at each
Airport to determine the adjusted amount due from the Signatory
Airlines.
(d)The adjusted amount calculated in (c) shall
then be divided by the total amount of Signatory Airline Terminal
Sub-Center Premises and Common Use Premises to determine the
Terminal Sub-Center average Signatory Airline rental rate.
(ii) To determine the differential Terminal Sub-Center
rental rates, each Terminal Sub-Center Premises and Common Use
Premises shall first be classified according to the types of
space set forth below:
Type of Weighted
Space Location/Function Value
1 Ticket Counter 1.00
2 Ticket Offices; .90
Administrative and Upper
Level Offices; V.I.P.
Rooms; Holdrooms
3 Bag Claim; Baggage Service .85
Offices
4 Bag Make-Up; Operations .55
Areas
5 Tug Drives; Exterior .25
Baggage Space
6 Unenclosed Covered Areas (a) (b)
7 Unenclosed Improved (a) (b)
Uncovered Areas
(a) Rentals for Type 6 and Type 7 space shall be based on
initial fixed rates of $4.00 and $1.00, respectively, per
square foot, with said rates to be adjusted each Fiscal
Year, commencing October 1, 1990, in accordance with changes
in the U.S. Implicit Price Deflator Index. The base date
for such adjustment shall be the index available on
October 1, 1989.
(b) If the Airline encloses, or otherwise modifies any such
areas, as approved by the Authority, or if the Authority
encloses or otherwise modifies any such area(s), the area(s)
shall be reclassified into the appropriate space type. The
rate for the reclassified space shall be the then current
rate for the reclassified space. If the Airline modifies
any such area and the rental rate for the reclassified space
is higher than it was prior to reclassification, then, at
the time the Airline requests approval to modify the space,
the Airline and the Authority shall negotiate an appropriate
rental credit(s) to reimburse the Airline for any costs
incurred by the Airline in modifying such area(s); provided,
however, such agreed upon rental credits shall in no event
result in ~ rate less than the then current rate for the
space prior to its modification.
(iii) Next, using the appropriate space totals shown in
Schedules NF-11 and DF-13, the Signatory Airline Terminal Sub-
Center average rental rate for each Terminal Sub-Center for the
Rate Period shall then be converted to differential Terminal Sub-
Center rental rates as follows:
(a)For each Terminal Sub-Center, the amount of
Type 1 through Type 5 space shall be Multiplied by the relative
weighted values set forth in Paragraph 8.03.1(ii) above, to
obtain a weighted equivalent amount of space.
(b)The adjusted Signatory Airline requirement
calculated in Paragraph 8.03.1(i)(c), above, shall be reduced by
the amount of Type 6 and Type 7 space rentals due for that Rate
period, to determine the differential Signatory Airline
requirement.
(c)For each Terminal Sub-Center, said
differential Signatory Airline requirement shall then be divided
by the weighted equivalent amount of Premises and Common Use
Premises for said Terminal Sub-Center to determine the rate for
Type 1 (premium) space. Rates for Types 2 through Type 5 space
shall then be determined by multiplying the Type 1 (premium) rate
by the relative weighted values for each type of rentable area.
8.03.2 Transition Adjustments. The parties hereto
recognize that certain facilities at each Airport, due to
construction of the Capital Development Program, are anticipated
to be abandoned and/or ultimately demolished in stages during the
Period of this Agreement:
(i) To the extent any portions of the Existing North
Terminal at National are in service during the Period of this
Agreement, the following transition adjustments shall be made:
(a)The Terminal Sub-Center Net Requirement
calculated for National's Main Terminal Sub-Center shall also
include the costs attributable to the Existing North Terminal,
whether occupied or not, during any Rate Period in which the
Existing North Terminal has not yet been demolished; and
(b)Rentable Space in the Existing North Terminal
used for the calculations in Paragraph 8.03.1 shall include only
those areas of the Existing North Terminal actually occupied in
each Rate Period.
(ii) To the extent any portions of the Base-of-the-Tower
Facilities at Dulles are in service during the Period of this
Agreement, the following transition adjustments shall be made:
(a)The Terminal Sub-Center Net Requirement
calculated for the Main Terminal Sub-Center at Dulles shall also
include the costs attributable to the Base-of-the-Tower
Facilities, whether occupied or not, during any Rate Period in
which the Base-of-the-Tower Facilities have not yet been
demolished; and
(b)Rentable Space in the Base-of-the-Tower
Facilities used for the calculations in Paragraph 8.03.1 shall
include only those areas of the Base-of-the-Tower Facilities
actually occupied in each Rate Period.
(iii) To the extent any portions of the Existing
Midfield Concourses at Dulles are in service following
Substantial Completion of one or more New Midfield Concourse(s) I
the following transition adjustments shall be made:
(a)The Existing Midfield Concourse Sub-Center
Net Requirement shall include the costs attributable to all then
remaining portions of the Existing Midfield Concourses, whether
occupied or not; and
(b)Rentable Space in the then remaining Existing
Midfield Concourses used for the calculations in Paragraph 8.03.1
shall include only those areas of the Existing Midfield
Concourses actually occupied in each Rate Period.
(iv) To the extent that certain areas of each Terminal Sub-
Center at either Airport, due to relocations necessitated by the
Capital Development Program, may be vacant for temporary periods,
the total Rentable Space used for the calculations in Paragraph
8.03.1 at the affected Airport(s) shall be reduced by the amount
of such vacated space, whether such temporarily vacated space is
that of the Signatory Airlines or other Terminal tenants.
(v) Upon Substantial Completion of the New North Terminal
at National, the Total Requirement for the Interim Hangar 11
Terminal (related to either its use as a terminal or certain
costs related to its conversion from terminal use) shall be
included in the calculation of rental rates for the New North
Terminal at National.
8.03.3 Rate Schedules. Schedules NF-2, NF-3, and NF-4
(National) and Schedules DF-2, DF-3, and DF-4 (Dulles) show the
calculation of average and differential rental rates for each
Terminal Sub-Center.
8.03.4 Airline's Terminal Rentals. The Airline's
Terminal Rentals for Exclusive, Preferential, and Joint Use
Premises in each Rate Period shall be determined as the sum of
the products obtained by multiplying the appropriate differential
Terminal Sub-Center rental rate for the Rate Period, calculated
in accordance with Paragraph 8.03.1, by the amount of the
corresponding type of space leased by the Airline in each
Terminal Sub-Center at each Airport as Exclusive, Preferential,
and Joint Use Premises. Said Terminal Rentals for each Rate
Period shall be payable in equal Monthly installments.
8.03.5 Common Use Charges. The Common Use Charges due
from Signatory Airlines for Common Use Premises in each Terminal
Sub-Center at each Airport in each Rate Period shall be
calculated as the product of the appropriate differential
Terminal rental rate for the Rate Period and the amount of each
category and area of Common Use Premises in each Terminal Sub-
Center. Said total Common Use requirement for each Terminal Sub-
Center at each Airport shall then be reduced by any amounts for
that Rate Period estimated by the Authority (based upon the prior
Rate Period's Low Volume Common Use Fees) to be payable as Low
Volume Common Use Fees attributable to said Terminal Sub-Center,
as set forth in Paragraph 8.03.6, to derive the "net aggregate
Common Use requirement." Each Signatory Airline's monthly Common
Use Charge, if applicable, for each Airport shall then be
determined as follows:
(i) Ten percent (10%) of the net aggregate Common Use
requirement due in each Terminal Sub-Center (or category or area
thereof, if applicable) at each Airport shall be prorated equally
among the Signatory Airlines, other than those paying Low Volume
Common Use Fees.
(ii) The remaining ninety percent (90%) of the net aggregate
Common Use requirement due in each Terminal Sub-Center (or
category or area thereof, if applicable) at each Airport shall be
prorated among the Signatory Airlines, other than those paying
Low Volume Common Use Fees, based upon each such Signatory
Airline's proportionate share of Total Passengers for all
Signatory Airlines, except that the component of the Common Use
Charge at Dulles attributable to baggage claim and holdroom shall
be calculated on the basis of Total Passengers less the Airline's
deplaning passengers using the IAB.
(iii) The allocation of Common Use Charges pursuant to
Paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, shall be made by the Authority
twice each Fiscal Year, with the first such allocation applicable
to the six month period commencing on the first day of each
Fiscal Year and ending on the last day of the sixth Month of said
Fiscal Year, and the second allocation applicable to the
remaining six months of said Fiscal Year; provided, however, the
Authority shall further have the right to adjust such allocations
for the remaining portion of the then current six month period at
any other time rates for Common Use Charges are adjusted during a
Fiscal Year pursuant to Sections 9.03 or 9.04. At any time such
allocations are adjusted, the Authority shall notify the Airline
and other Signatory Airlines of the revised allocations, the
amounts due from each Signatory Airline, and the period for which
such allocations and amounts are applicable, and the Airline
shall then pay its allocated share of Common Use Charges in equal
monthly installments during said period. Each such allocation
shall be based upon activity data for the most recent six months
for which such data is then available.
(iv) For purposes of the Common Use Charge allocation
calculations, the Airline shall include in its monthly activity
report required by Section 8.12, and individually identify, the
number of Enplaning Passengers and Deplaning Passengers handled
or otherwise accommodated by the Airline for other Air
Transportation Companies not having an agreement with the
Authority that provides for the direct payment to the Authority
of appropriate Common Use Charges.
8.03.6 Low Volume Common Use Fees. Notwithstanding the
above Paragraph 8.03.5, a Signatory Airline that is a Low Volume
Airline shall pay a monthly Low Volume Common Use Fee in lieu of
the payment of Common Use Charges, in each Rate Period, for each
Airport, calculated as follows:
(i) The Common Use requirement for such Rate Period, at
such Airport, calculated in accordance with Paragraph 8.03.5
shall be divided by the actual Total Passengers at each Airport
for the most recent twelve (12) months for which such activity
reports are available. This amount shall be the Low Volume
Common Use Fee per Passenger for each Airport.
(ii) For each Common Use Charge allocation period as set
forth in Paragraph 8.03.5(iii), a Low Volume Airline is a
Signatory Airline (a) which operated at that Airport, (b) which
operates under Part 135 of the FAA Regulations, and (c) which
either reported an average monthly Enplaning Passenger activity
level at that Airport less than or equal to one thousand (1,000)
Enplaning Passengers per month during the preceding Common Use
Charge allocation period, or, if a new Signatory Airline, is
projected to generate a monthly average of less than one thousand
(1,000) Enplaning Passengers at that Airport for the ensuing
Common Use Charge allocation period.
(a)In the event that the monthly average
Enplaning Passenger activity level of any Signatory Airline
paying the Low Volume Common Use Fee becomes greater than one
thousand (1,000) Enplaning Passengers at that Airport during the
then-current Common Use Charge allocation period, such signatory
Airline shall pay Common Use Charges as set forth in Paragraph
8.03.5 in the next ensuing Common Use allocation period.
(b)In the event that the monthly average
Enplaning Passenger activity level of any Signatory Airline
paying Common Use Charges pursuant to Paragraph 8.03.5 (and which
operates under Part 135 of the FAA Regulations) becomes less than
one thousand (1,000) Enplaning Passengers at that Airport during
the then-current Common Use Charge allocation period, such
Signatory Airline shall pay the Low Volume Common Use Fee in the
next ensuing Common Use Charge allocation period.
8.03.7 Rate Schedules. Schedules NF-5 (National) and DF-
5 (Dulles) show the calculation of Common Use Charges and Low
Volume Common Use Fees for each Rate Period.
8.04 Aircraft Parking Position Charges and Dulles Jet Apron Fees.
8.04.1 Aircraft Parking Position Charges at National.
The Authority reserves the right to charge the Airline Aircraft
Parking Position Charges at National during the Period of this
Agreement; provided, however,
(i) The Authority shall provide written notice no less than
ninety (90) days prior to the effective date of such Aircraft
Parking Position Charge;
(ii) The Aircraft Parking Position Charge at National shall
be calculated in a manner substantially similar to the Aircraft
Parking Position Charge at Dulles, as set forth in Paragraph
8.04.2;
(iii) The total amount for such charge shall not exceed
ten percent (10%) of the Airfield Total Requirement; and
(iv) Revenues derived from any such charges shall be applied
to reduce the Airfield Total Requirement in any Rate Period in
which such charges are imposed and collected by the Authority.
8.04.2 Rates for Ramp Area Charges at Dulles. Dulles
Aircraft Parking Position Charges and Dulles Jet Apron Fees
("Ramp Area Charges") shall be calculated, beginning January 1,
1992, as follows:
(i) For the initial period commencing January 1, 1992, five
percent (5%) of the estimated Airfield Total Requirement shall be
the basis of Ramp Area Charges; provided, however, the Authority
shall estimate in each subsequent Rate Period the actual
requirement attributable to the Ramp Area as a percentage of the
Dulles Airfield Total Requirement. Such Authority-estimated Ramp
Area requirement for Dulles shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of
the Airfield Total Requirement in any Rate Period.
(ii) The Ramp Area requirement for Dulles determined as set
forth in Paragraph 8.04.2(i) above shall be next divided into
Aircraft Parking Position and Dulles Jet Apron components, based
upon the number of Aircraft Parking Positions and Dulles Jet
Apron positions as a percentage, respectively, of the total of
all such aircraft positions at Dulles.
(iii) The Aircraft Parking Position requirement
determined in Paragraph 8.04.2(u) above in each Rate Period shall
be divided by the actual linear footage of all Aircraft Parking
Positions (measured one hundred (100) feet from the face of the
Terminal or Concourse) in each Rate Period, to determine the
Aircraft Parking Position Charge rate. In the event such actual
measurement cannot be accomplished, each Aircraft Parking
position for a narrow-body aircraft shall be deemed to be one
hundred twenty-five (125) linear feet and for a wide-body
aircraft shall be deemed to be one hundred seventy-five (175)
linear feet.
(iv) The Dulles Jet Apron requirement determined in
Paragraph 8.04.2(u) above in each Rate Period shall be divided by
the estimated number of operations at the Dulles Jet Aprons in
each Rate Period to determine the Dulles Jet Apron Fee rate for
each operation.
(v) In the event that the Authority designates a separate
area(s) of the Ramp Area for the shared use by Signatory Airlines
operating under Part 135 of the FAA Regulations, then in such
event the Authority shall allocate a reasonable amount of the
Ramp Area requirement determined as set forth in Paragraph
8.04.2(i) above to such area(s), and shall charge such Airline
for the use of said area(s) based upon each such operator's share
of total Enplaning Passengers using the area(s).
8.04.3 Airline's Dulles Aircraft Parking Position
Charges. At Dulles, the Airline's Aircraft Parking Position
Charges, if applicable, shall be the product obtained by
Multiplying the total linear footage of the Airline's Aircraft
Parking Position(s), as set forth in Exhibit D-B, tiles the
Aircraft Parking Position Charge rate for the Rate Period. Such
charge shall be paid in equal Monthly installments in accordance
with Section 8.11.
8.04.4 Airline's Dulles Jet Apron Fees The Airline's
monthly Dulles Jet Apron Fees, if applicable, shall be calculated
as the product obtained by multiplying the Dulles Jet Apron Fee
rate for the Rate Period by the number of the Airline's aircraft
utilizing the Jet Apron to board or disembark passengers during
the month; provided, however, the Airline shall not be subject to
this Dulles Jet Apron Fee if the Airline pays Aircraft Parking
Position Charges directly to the Authority and uses the Dulles
Jet Apron exclusively to disembark passengers. An aircraft which
both disembarks and boards passengers at a Jet Apron Position
will be subject to a single fee. The fee shall be paid monthly
in accordance with Section 8.11.
8.05 Equipment Charges.
8.05.1 Equipment Charges. For each Rate Period, the
Airline shall pay charges for each type and item of Equipment

(i) The annual capital requirement for each type and item
of Equipment shall be equal to the sum of the Capital Charges
plus Debt Service Coverage reduced by Transfers allocable to such
Equipment; and
(ii) The O&M requirement in each Rate Period for each type
and item of Equipment which shall be equal to the O&M Expenses
incurred by the Authority and allocable to such Equipment.
8.05.2 The Airline's charges for certain types of

Fiscal Year, and the second allocation applicable to the
remaining six months of said Fiscal Year; provided, however, the
Authority shall further have the right to adjust said allocation
for the remaining portion of the then current six month period at
any other time the Passenger Security Reimbursements requirement
is adjusted during a Fiscal Year pursuant to Sections 9.03 and
9.04. Each such allocation shall be based upon activity data for
the most recent six months for which such activity data is then
available.
(iii) For purposes of such allocations, the Airline
shall include in its monthly activity report required pursuant to
Section 8.12, and individually identify, the number of Enplaning

of the Passenger Security Reimbursement charges for the current
Rate Period.
8.07 International Arrivals Building ("IAB") Charges at Dulles.
8.07.1 IAB Rate. The IAB rate for each Rate Period shall
be calculated by reducing the Total Requirement for the IAB by
utility and other reimbursements and Transfers, and dividing such
amount by the estimated total international Deplaning Passengers
using the IAB facility in each Rate Period, to determine the IAB
rate per international Deplaning Passenger.
8.07.2 IAB Rate Schedule. Schedule DF-S shows the
calculation of the IAB rate for each Rate Period.

Dulles based upon their respective total Enplaning Passengers for
such Rate Period as set forth in Paragraph 8.09.l(iii).
(iii) The allocation of Passenger Conveyance Charges
pursuant to Paragraph 8.09.1(u) shall be Made by the Authority
twice each Fiscal Year, with the first such allocation applicable
to the six month period commencing on the first day of each
Fiscal Year and ending on the last day of the sixth month of said
Fiscal Year, and the second allocation applicable to the
remaining six months of said Fiscal Year; provided, however, the
Authority shall further have the right to adjust said allocation
for the remaining portion of the then current six month period at
any other time the Passenger Conveyance Charges requirement is
adjusted during a Fiscal Year pursuant to Sections 9.03 and 9.04.
Each such allocation shall be based upon activity data for the
most recent six months for which such activity data is then
available.
(iv) For purposes of such allocations, the Airline shall
include in its Monthly activity report required pursuant to
Section 8.12g and individually identify, the number of Enplaning

allocated among the signatory Airlines based on their number of
Enplaning Passengers using this transportation component in the
manner as set forth in Paragraph 8.09.1 above.
(iii) The Inter-Terminal and IAB People Mover Train
component shall first be allocated between the IAB, on the one
hand, and the Terminal Cost Center, on the other hand, based upon
the number of Deplaning Passengers using the IAB and the number
of Deplaning Passengers using the Terminal Cost Center,
respectively.
(b) The remainder of such component shall be allocated to
the Total Requirement for each Terminal Sub-Center served by said
system, based upon the respective Rentable Space in each such
Terminal Sub-Center.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing1 if the Inter-Terminal
and IAB People Mover Train does not serve the IAB, no portion of
the Inter-Terminal and IAB People Mover component shall be
allocated to the IAB.

the Airline may have in or to the Premises or facilities leased
hereunder, or the improvements thereon, by reason of its
occupancy thereof, or otherwise, as well as taxes on taxable
property, real or personal, owned by the Airline in or about said

cancellation or otherwise, all taxes then levied or a lien on any
of said property, or taxable interest therein, shall be paid in
full by the Airline as soon as a statement thereof has been

not be deemed to be in default under this Agreement for failure
to pay taxes pending the outcome of any proceedings instituted by
the Airline to contest the validity or the amount of such taxes.

Journal on the date such payment was due; provided, however, that
nothing contained herein shall be construed as permitting the
Authority to charge or receive interest in excess of the maximum
legal rate then allowed by law. Further, this provision shall
not be construed as precluding the Authority from pursuing any
other remedies it may have for the Airline's default in the
payment of its rentals, fees, or charges, from executing against

activity reported by the Airline for the next preceding month and
issue an invoice to the Airline for said estimated amount, less
amounts, if any, already received from the Airline for rentals,
fees, and charges due for such month for which complete activity
data has not been received by the Authority. The Airline agrees
to pay said estimated amount and to be liable for any
deficiencies in payments based on this estimate, plus interest,
as set forth in Paragraph 8.11.4 above. If such estimate results
in an overpayment by the Airline, and (i) if the Airline submits
the delinquent activity report to the Authority within 30 days of
the original date due, then the Authority shall credit the
Airline's subsequent month's amount due for such overpayment less
adjustment for applicable interest charges, if any, as set forth
in Paragraph 8.11.4; or (ii) if the Airline does not submit the
delinquent activity report to the Authority within thirty (30)
days of the original date due, the Authority shall have the right

underpayment by the Airline, the Airline shall include with its
delinquent activity report any additional amounts due to the
Authority, plus applicable interest charges.
8.11.6 In the event the Airline's rights, licenses, or
privileges granted hereunder shall commence or terminate on any
date other than the first or last day, respectively, of the
month, the Airline's rentals, fees, and charges shall be prorated
on the basis of the number of days such Premises, facilities,
rights, licenses, services, or privileges were enjoyed during
that month and on the Authority's estimate of the Airline's
activity for such number of days.
8.11.7 The Airline will assure that all payments due
hereunder are made separately for each Airport. All payments
shall be accompanied by a written certificate substantially in
the form of Exhibits N-L and D-L attached hereto setting forth

8.12.2 The Authority shall have the right to rely on said
activity reports in determining rentals, fees, and charges due
hereunder; provided, however, the Airline shall have full
responsibility for the accuracy of said reports. Payment
deficiencies due to incomplete or inaccurate activity reports
shall be subject to interest charges as set forth in Paragraph
8.11.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon receipt of complete,
accurate reports, overpayments, if any, shall be credited by the
Authority against the Airline's subsequent month's amount due.

keep books, ledgers, accounts or other records, accurately
reflecting all of the entries for the activity statistics to be
reported pursuant to Paragraph 8.12.1. Such records shall be
retained by the Airline for a period of three (3) years
subsequent to the activities reported therein. The Airline
agrees to produce such books and records for the Authority at the
Authority's place of business within fifteen (15) calendar days
of the Authority's notice to do so or, at a location of the
Airline's choosing, in which case the Airline shall pay all
reasonable expenses, including, but not limited to,
transportation, food, and lodging, necessary for an auditor
selected by the Authority to audit said books and records.
8.12.4 The cost of the audit, with the exception of the
aforementioned expenses, shall be borne by the Authority;
provided, however, the total cost of said audit shall be borne by

hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) or five percent (5%) of
rentals, fees, and charges due hereunder, as determined by said
audit; and/or
(ii) The Airline has failed to maintain accurate and
complete books, accounts, and other records in accordance with
Paragraph 8.12.3.

months immediately preceding the Effective Date of this
Agreement, the Airline committed an act or omission that
constituted a default in payments due to the Authority pursuant
to the terms and provisions of the Prior Agreements and Leases,
then the Authority has the right to require the Airline to
provide to the Authority on the Effective Date, payment of
outstanding default amounts, if any, and a surety bond,
irrevocable letter of credit or other security acceptable to the
Authority ("Contract Security") in an amount equal to an estimate
of four (4) months' rentals, fees, and charges payable by the

Contract Security in effect until the expiration of twelve (12)
consecutive months during which period the Airline commits no act
or omission that would constitute a payment default pursuant to
Paragraph 13.01.9 of this Agreement. Such Contract Security
shall be in such form and with such company approved to do
business in the Commonwealth of Virginia as shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Authority.

the Airline fails to make a payment as required by Section 8.11
during the Period of this Agreement. The Authority's rights
under this Paragraph 8.13.2 shall be in addition to all other
rights and remedies available to the Authority either by law or
under the terms of this Agreement.

extent that the costs allocable to such Project, or a portion
thereof, are allocable to the Airline Supported Areas; provided,
however, the Authority may include in any rate adjustment made
pursuant to Sections 9.02 and 9.03 the Capital Charges, Debt
Service Coverage, O&M Expenses, and all other payments and
reserves for any such Project anticipated by the Authority to
become payable from Revenues during the next ensuing Rate Period.
8.14.2 Upon the Substantial Completion Date of any
Premises and until the actual square footage of such Premises has
been incorporated into revised Exhibits N-C-2 and D-C-2, all
determinations that are based on the dimensions of the Premises,
including rentals, fees, and charges, shall be based on the
approximate dimensions stated in Exhibits N-C-l and D-C-l. After
the incorporation of the actual square footage, the rentals,
fees, and charges that are determined by the dimensions of the
Premises shall be calculated using the actual square footage, and
amounts previously paid or owed by the Airline shall be adjusted
retroactively to the Substantial Completion Date. After the
retroactive adjustment, the Airline shall pay to the Authority,
together with the payment for the next monthly period, any
additional rentals, fees, and charges that are due to the
Authority or the Authority shall credit the Airline with any
rentals, fees, and charges that were overpaid by the Airline so
that the total payment made by the Airline for the period
beginning with the Substantial Completion Date and ending with
the date of the adjustment shall be the amount the Airline would
have paid if the rentals, fees, and charges had been calculated
on the actual square footage from the Substantial Completion
Date.
8.14.3 In the event that Debt Service and Debt Service
Coverage applicable to any Project in a Cost Center or Sub-Center

by a court of competent jurisdiction determined to be lawful for
the Authority to assess and collect during the Period of this
Agreement, the Authority hereby reserves the right to assess,
collect and expend such charges, subject to any conditions and
restrictions expressly provided by such legislation or
regulation.
8.16 No Other Fees and Charges. Except as provided for in this
Agreement or any other contract between the Airline and the
Authority, no charges, fees, or tolls of any nature, direct or
indirect, shall be imposed by the Authority upon the Airline, its
employees, agents, passengers, guests, patrons, and invitees, its
suppliers of materials, or furnishers of services; provided,
however, and except as otherwise provided herein, that the
foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit the Authority from
imposing and collecting charges and fees for the use of the
public auto parking areas on the Airports, from operators of
ground transportation to, from, and on the Airports and from any
concessionaire at the Airports in accordance with the terms of a
contract with the Authority for the operation of such concession.
8.17 1990 Fiscal Year Adjustment. In consideration for the
Authority's agreement to refrain from exercising its right under
Prior Agreements and Leases to impose new rates and charges on
the Airline effective as of October 1, 1989, and instead,
deferring the effectiveness of said new rates and charges to
January 1, 1990, the rates and charges in effect for the period
January 1, 1990, through September 30, 1990, will include an
amount that represents the difference, during the period from
October 1, 1989, to December 31, 1989, between the amount of the
rates and charges then in effect and the amount that would have
been charged to the Airline if the rates and charges under this
Agreement had been made effective on October 1, 1989.

resulted in an overpayment or underpayment, and shall be remitted
by the Airline or credited by the Authority in the month
immediately following the calculation of the new Rate Period
rates and the giving of notice to Signatory Airlines.
9.02 Annual Adjustment.
9.02.1 Approximately sixty (60) days prior to the end of
each Fiscal Year, the Authority shall notify the Signatory
Airlines of the estimated rates for rentals, fees, and charges
for the next ensuing Fiscal Year. Said rates shall be based upon
estimated activity at each Airport, budgeted O&M Expenses, the
estimated Transfers amount required by this Agreement, Capital
Charges, Debt Service Coverage, Lease payments, and all other
payments and reserves as set forth in Exhibits N-F and D-F, for
the next ensuing Fiscal Year.
9.02.2 Within twenty (20) days after the forwarding of
said estimated rates for rentals, fees, and charges, the
Authority shall meet collectively with the Signatory Airlines of
each Airport at a mutually convenient time for the purpose of
discussing such estimated rates for rentals, fees, and charges.
The Authority shall make available to the Signatory Airlines any
reasonably requested additional information relating to the
determination of the proposed rates. The Authority agrees to
fully consider the comments and recommendations of the Signatory
Airlines prior to finalizing its schedule of estimated rates for
rentals, fees, and charges for the next ensuing Fiscal Year.
9.02.3 Following said meeting, the Authority shall
provide at least twenty (20) days advance written notice to the
Signatory Airlines of the estimated rates for rentals, fees, and
charges in accordance with this Section 9.02, and subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 9.01.4, such adjusted rates shall become
effective on the first day of the next ensuing Fiscal Year.
9.03 Midyear Adjustment.
9.03.1 In addition to the provisions of Sections 9.02 and
9.04, the Authority shall have the right to adjust the estimated
rates for rentals, fees, and charges payable by the Signatory
Airlines at the midpoint of each Fiscal Year in accordance with
this Section 9.03.
9.03.2 Approximately sixty (60) days prior to the end of
the sixth month of the then current Fiscal Year, the Authority
shall re-estimate the rates for rentals, fees, and charges
payable hereunder, applicable to the last six months of the then
current Fiscal Year, and shall then determine in accordance with
Paragraph 9.03.5 whether a midyear adjustment to any rate(s) will
be made. Said re-estimated rates shall be based upon any
adjustment to Transfers required by this Agreement based upon the
actual audited results for the preceding Fiscal Year and revised
estimates of activity, 0&M Expenses, Capital Charges, Debt
Service Coverage, and all other payments and reserves, as set
forth in Exhibits N-F and D-F, for the then current Fiscal Year.
9.03.3 In the event midyear adjustments to rates are made
by the Authority, the Authority shall notify the Signatory
Airlines of the re-estimated rates approximately forty-five (45)
days prior to the end of the sixth month of the then current
Fiscal Year. Within twenty (20) days after the forwarding of
said rates, the Authority shall, if requested by the Airline or
another Signatory Airline, meet collectively with the Signatory
Airlines at each Airport at a mutually convenient time for the
purpose of discussing said re-estimated rates. The Authority
shall make available to the Signatory Airlines any reasonably
requested additional information relating to said rates. The
Authority agrees to fully consider the comments and
recommendations of the Signatory Airlines prior to finalizing the
midyear adjusted rates.
9.03.4 Following said meeting, the Authority shall
provide at least twenty (20) days advance written notification to
the Signatory Airlines of the adjusted rates to become effective
on the first day of the seventh month of the then current Fiscal
Year, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9.01.4.
9.03.5 Nothing in this Section 9.03 shall be construed to
require that the Authority make a midyear adjustment to estimated
rates at either Airport; provided further that the Authority
shall not make any such midyear adjustment to any rate at an
Airport if the total of rentals, fees, or charges payable by the
Signatory Airlines at that Airport, using the then current rates
for rentals, fees, and charges at that Airport, is at least
ninety-eight percent (98%) of the total of rentals, fees, or
charges that would be payable by the Signatory Airlines using any
re-estimated rate(s) calculated pursuant to this Section 9.03.
9.03.6 In the event that the Authority does not make a
midyear adjustment to rates, any difference between the estimated
Transfers amount included in the calculation of the then current
rates, and the amount of Transfers actually due to the Signatory
Airlines based upon the audited results for the preceding Fiscal
Year, may at the option of the Authority (i) be included in any
subsequent adjustment of rates during the then current Fiscal
Year, as provided for in Section 9.04; or (ii) be incorporated
into the settlement calculations for the then current Fiscal Year
as provided for in Section 9.07.
9.04 Other Rate Adjustments.
9.04.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 9.02
and 9.03, any rate for rentals, fees, or charges payable by the
Signatory Airlines at an Airport may be adjusted by the Authority
at any other time in the event of one or more of the following:
(i) Current year-to-date unaudited financial data and/or
activity statistics indicate that total rentals, fees, and
charges payable at an Airport pursuant to the then current rates
are projected by the Authority to vary by more than five percent
(5%) from the total rentals, fees, and charges that would be paid
during the Rate Period at that Airport if rates were based upon
more current financial and activity data then available.
(ii) The Indenture requires such an adjustment; provided,
however, that total rentals, fees, and charges payable to the
Authority by Signatory Airlines shall be calculated in accordance
with this Agreement.
(iii) Additional Projects are constructed in Airline
Supported Areas, and Debt Service and/or Amortization
Requirements for such Additional Projects become payable from
Revenues on a date other than the first day of any Fiscal Year;
provided, however, the Authority may include in any rate
adjustments made pursuant to Sections 9.02 and 9.03 the Capital
Charges, O&M Expenses, and all other payments, Debt Service
Coverage, and reserves required by this Agreement for any such
Additional Project, the costs of which are anticipated by the
Authority to become payable from Revenues (as opposed to
capitalized interest) during the next ensuing Rate Period.
(iv) At any other time as provided for in this Agreement,
including, but not limited to, adjustments made in accordance
with Section 8.14 for Projects included in the Capital
Development Program.
9.04.2 The Authority shall provide at least twenty (20)
days advance written notice to the Signatory Airlines of changes
to estimated rates made in accordance with this Section 9.04,
including the reasons necessitating any such adjustment, and such
adjusted rates shall become effective on the date specified in
the Authority's written notice to the Airline, subject to the
provisions of Paragraph 9.01.4.
9.05 Transfers.
9.05.1 At the conclusion of each Fiscal Year, the amount
of any "Net Remaining Revenue" at each Airport, as such term is
defined in Paragraph 9.05.2, shall be determined. For each
Fiscal Year during the Period of this Agreement such Net
Remaining Revenue shall be allocated between the Authority and
the Signatory Airlines at that Airport in accordance with
provisions of Paragraph 9.05.4. For the first Fiscal Year
immediately following the expiration or earlier termination of
this Agreement, such Net Remaining Revenue shall be allocated in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 9.05.6. The
Signatory Airlines' share (hereinafter called "Transfers") of Net
Remaining Revenue for each Fiscal Year shall be transferred by
the Authority from the General Purpose Fund to the Airline
Transfer Account at the beginning of the next ensuing Fiscal
Year. Amounts in the Airline Transfer Account shall be applied
as credits in the calculation of Signatory Airline rates for
rentals, fees, and charges in such next ensuing Fiscal Year. The
Authority's share of Net Remaining Revenue shall be transferred
by the Authority from the General Purpose Fund to the Authority
Capital Fund at the beginning of such next ensuing Fiscal Year,
and used for the purposes described in Section 9.06.
9.05.2 For any Fiscal Year, Net Remaining Revenue at each
Airport is hereby defined to mean the total of Revenues for such
Fiscal Year plus Transfers, if any, from the prior Fiscal Year
less (i) O&M Expenses; (ii) required deposits to maintain the O&M
Reserve; (iii) Debt Service; (iv) Federal Lease payment; (v) the
amount of rental credits given to certain Scheduled Air Carriers
as set forth in the Surviving Agreements; (vi) required deposits
to any Debt Service Reserve Fund; and (vii) required deposits to
the Emergency R&R Fund; all as calculated in accordance with
Schedules NF-8 and DF-l0 for the then current Fiscal Year.
9.05.3 When estimating the rates for rentals, fees, and
charges for the next ensuing Fiscal Year, as set forth in Section
9.02, the Authority shall also estimate for each Airport the
Transfers required by this Agreement to be transferred from Net
Remaining Revenue generated at each Airport in the then current
Fiscal Year. Said estimated required Transfers at each Airport
shall be allocated to the Cost Centers and Sub-Centers at that
Airport in the manner described in Paragraph 9.05.4, and included
as a credit in the calculation of rates for Signatory Airlines'
rentals, fees, and charges for the next ensuing Fiscal Year.
9.05.4 Net Remaining Revenue at each Airport for each
Fiscal Year shall be allocated between the Signatory Airlines and
the Authority and the Signatory Airlines' share shall be
allocated to Airline Supported Areas at each Airport as follows:
(i) An amount equal to the entire amount of the
Depreciation Requirement collected from the Signatory Airlines
for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Authority;
(ii) An amount equal to the entire amount of Airline Funded
Coverage on Subordinated Bonds (or if any such Bonds have been
refunded from the proceeds of Senior Bonds, then the entire
amount of Airline Funded Coverage on such Senior Bonds) collected
from the Signatory Airlines for such Fiscal Year shall be
allocated to the Airline Supported Areas in direct proportion to
the allocation of Debt Service on Subordinated Bonds (or Senior
Bonds, if any, issued to refund Subordinated Bonds) to the Cost
Centers and Sub-Centers within the Airline Supported Areas;
(iii) An amount equal to the entire amount of any
Extraordinary Coverage Protection Payments, as described in
Paragraph 9.07.3, shall be allocated to Airline Supported Areas
in direct proportion to the Total Requirements of each of the
Cost Centers and Sub-Centers within the Airline Supported Areas.
(iv) An amount equal to the entire amount of Equipment
Coverage collected from the Signatory Airlines for such Fiscal
Year shall be allocated to the Equipment Sub-Centers in direct
proportion to the allocation of Debt Service to such Sub-Centers.
(v) An amount equal to the excess of Net Remaining Revenue
for such Fiscal Year over the sum of the amounts described in
(i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) above shall be divided between the
Signatory Airlines and the Authority as follows:
(a)Such amount for each Airport shall be divided
equally between the Signatory Airlines and the Authority until
the Authority's share under this Paragraph (v) for that Airport
is equal to the Plateau Amount for that Airport for that Fiscal
Year;
(b)Once the Authority's share of Net Remaining
Revenue has reached the Plateau Amount for an Airport for such
Fiscal Year, the Signatory Airlines' share of any additional Net
Remaining Revenue at that Airport shall equal seventy-five
percent (75%) and the Authority's share shall equal twenty-five
percent (25%);
(vi) The Signatory Airlines' share of Net Remaining Revenue
determined pursuant to Paragraph (v) above shall be allocated to
the Airline Supported Areas as follows:
(a)An amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the
amount of Airline Funded Coverage on Debt Service on Senior Bonds
collected from the Signatory Airlines for such Fiscal Year shall
be allocated to the Airline Supported Areas in proportion to the
allocation of Debt Service on Senior Bonds to the Cost Centers
and Sub-Centers within the Airline Supported Areas;
(b)The remainder shall be allocated to the
Airline Supported Areas in proportion to the Total Requirements
(for purposes of this allocation only, Total Requirements shall
include one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of any Special
Facility Bond debt service attributable to facilities in the
Airline Supported Areas which are reasonably entitled pursuant to
Paragraph 10.01.3 and the terms of any Special Facility agreement
to the benefit of Transfers) of each of the Cost Centers and Sub-
Centers within the Airline Supported Areas.
9.05.5 The Authority shall credit Transfers only from
funds available for such purposes in the General Purpose Fund.
If for any reason the amount in the General Purpose Fund
available for Transfers to the Signatory Airlines pursuant to
this Agreement is less than the amount required to be credited to
the Signatory Airlines pursuant to Paragraph 9.05.4, the
Authority shall make appropriate increases in Transfers from
available funds in subsequent Fiscal Years.
9.05.6 Net Remaining Revenue for the last Fiscal Year
during the Period of this Agreement shall be allocated either (i)
in accordance with the terms of any subsequent airport use
agreement entered into between the Authority and some or all of
the Signatory Airlines, or (ii) in the absence of such agreement,
between the Authority, on the one hand, and the airlines then
operating at the Airports on the other hand, substantially in
accordance with the methodology set forth in this Agreement
except with respect to any distinctions made herein between
Signatory Airlines and non-Signatory Airlines.
9.06 Creation of Funds and Accounts.
Authority Capital Fund - The Authority shall create a fund
to be entitled the Authority Capital Fund into which the
Authority shall transfer its share of Net Remaining Revenue
calculated in accordance with Section 9.05. Amounts in the
Authority Capital Fund may be used by the Authority for any one
or more of the following purposes:
(i) To pay the costs of any Projects in the Capital
Development Program, including any cost overruns;
(ii) To redeem, defease, or retire any Outstanding Bonds;
(iii) To pay the costs of any Additional Projects,
including any projects in the Authority's repair and
rehabilitation program;
(iv) To pay the O&M Expenses of, or any capital costs in
excess of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) for, a Rail System;
and
(v) To pay Debt Service on any Bonds issued to fund the
costs of any of the foregoing.
Airline Transfer Account - The Authority shall create an
account to be held in the Revenue Fund into which the Authority
shall deposit Transfers calculated in accordance with Section
9.05.
9.07 Settlement.
9.07.1 Rentals, fees, and charges paid by the Airline
during any Fiscal Year shall be subject to adjustment provided
for in this Section 9.07. Within one hundred twenty (120) days
following the close of each Fiscal Year or as soon as the audited
financial data for said Fiscal Year is available, rates for
rentals, fees, and charges for the preceding Fiscal Year shall be
recalculated using audited financial data and the methods set
forth in Article 8 and Exhibits N-F and D-F. Upon the
determination of any difference(s) between the rentals, fees, and
charges paid by the Signatory Airlines during the preceding
Fiscal Year and the rentals, fees, and charges that would have
been paid by the Signatory Airlines using said recalculated
rates, the Authority shall credit the Airline with the amount of
any overpayment, and/or invoice the Airline for the amount of any
underpayment
9.07.2 Notwithstanding the results of the settlement
calculations made pursuant to Paragraph 9.07.1, the Authority
shall also determine whether the total of Revenues and Transfers
allocable hereunder to the Airline Supported Areas at each
Airport in the preceding Fiscal Year then being audited were at
least equal to the (i) O&M Expenses; (ii) amounts required to
maintain the O&M Reserve; (iii) Debt Service; (iv) other Capital
Charges; (v) Federal Lease payment; (vi) at Dulles, Dulles Rate
Credit Amortization Requirement; (vii) required deposits, if any,
if any, to the Emergency R&R Fund allocable to the Airline
Supported Areas at that Airport in said Fiscal Year. Should any
deficiency exist for any reasons whatsoever, including but not
limited to payment defaults and/or unleased premises, then the
Airline, collectively with all other Signatory Airlines and
Signatory Cargo Carriers, if any, shall pay its pro rata share of
such deficiency, with such payments to be included as Revenues in
the Fiscal Year then being audited. The Airline's pro rata share
shall be calculated (i) on the basis of its share of total
Signatory Airline and Signatory Cargo Carrier landed weight at
the Airport at which the deficiency occurred, if attributable to
the Airfield; and/or (ii) on the basis of its share of total
Terminal Premises actually rented by the Signatory Airlines and
for which rental payments were actually received by the Authority
at the Airport at which the deficiency occurred, if attributable
to the Terminal. The Authority shall invoice the Airline for its
share of any such deficiency, and the Airline shall remit its
payment therefor within thirty (30) days of the date of the
Authority' 5 invoice.
9.07.3 The Authority shall include Extraordinary Coverage
Protection Payments in the rates for rentals, fees, and charges
for the Airline Supported Areas at each Airport in any Fiscal
Year in which the amount of Revenues plus Transfers less
operating and Maintenance Expenses at that Airport is projected
to be less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the sum
of Debt Service on Senior Bonds and Debt Service on Subordinated
Bonds at that Airport. Any amounts which must be collected for
such Extraordinary Coverage Protection Payments will be allocated
to Cost Centers and Sub-Centers within the Airline Supported
Areas on the basis of the Total Requirements of such Cost Centers
and Sub-Centers.
ARTICLE 10.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
10.01 General.
10.01.1 The parties hereto recognize that capital
expenditures to preserve, protect, enhance, expand, or
otherwise improve the Airports, or parts thereof, are
required during the Period of this Agreement. Such capital
expenditures include the Capital Development Program and
Additional Projects of the Authority, and may include
improvements by the Airline. Any such improvements by the
Airline, and capital expenditures of the Authority to be
paid for or financed with Bonds or Revenues of the Airports
shall be subject to the provisions of this Article 10.
10.01.2 Subject to the provisions of this Article 10,
the Authority may pay for any such capital expenditures
using any funds lawfully available for such purposes, and/or
may issue Bonds, whether subject to, or exempt from, Federal
income taxation, in amounts sufficient to finance any such
capital expenditures, including any costs for design or
program management, capitalized interest, any required Debt
Service Reserve Fund, costs of issuance, bond insurance
premiums or credit facility fees, or any other costs
reasonably incurred by the Authority in connection with the
issuance of Bonds. All costs associated with such capital
expenditures of the Authority, including but not limited to,
O&M Expenses and appropriate reserves therefor, Debt
Service, Debt Service Coverage, and any other payments,
Amortization Requirements, and/or reserves applicable to
said capital expenditures, shall be included in the
determination of rates for rentals, fees, and charges in
accordance with Articles 8 and 9; provided, however, that,
except in accordance with Paragraph 9.07.3, no such rentals,
fees, and charges payable hereunder, shall be payable by the
Airline for capital expenditures, the costs for which are
not properly attributable or allocable to the Airline
Supported Areas.
10.01.3 Nothing herein shall preclude the Authority
from undertaking, or authorizing to be undertaken, capital
expenditures to be financed or paid from sources other than
Revenues, or to borrow funds which are repayable from
sources other than Revenues, for the purpose of funding
capital expenditures. Such other sources may specifically
include, but are not limited to, the proceeds of Special
Facility Bonds. In the event any Special Facility is
constructed within any Airline Supported Areas, the Special
Facility agreement between the Authority and the Special
Facility obligor may provide, among other things, for the
following:
(i) The treatment of O&M Expenses and responsibilities
either as direct obligations of the obligor or in the same
manner as O&M Expenses are handled for other facilities
within the Airline Supported Areas;
(ii) A method of compensating the obligor for costs
allocable to any premises constructed as part of the Special
Facility which costs, under the Authority's allocation
methodology, would not be allocated to airline leased
premises and to allocate a fair and reasonable amount of
Transfers to such Special Facility; the method of
compensation or allocation could include, for example, fair
and reasonable direct payments to the Special Facility
obligor, allocations of Revenues or Transfers, credits
against other payments due from the Special Facility
obligor, or any combination of the foregoing;
(iii) Provisions relating to security for the
Special Facility Bonds; and
(iv) Provisions relating to the operation and use of
the Special Facility, including accommodation provisions.
10.02 Capital Development Program.
10.02.1 Exhibits N-I and N-J (National) and Exhibit D-
I and D-J (Dulles) summarize the Capital Development Program
commenced by the Authority in 1988, including a listing of
Projects, a description of the Projects, their priority
status, their estimated costs, their estimated construction
start and Substantial Completion Dates, and the applicable
Cost Centers or Terminal or Equipment Sub-Centers. The
Authority shall, from time to time, refine and update such
Project descriptions. Such Project refinements may include
the addition or deletion of components functionally related
to the Capital Development Program; provided, however, that
no such refinements shall materially change the scope of the
Capital Development Program.
10.02.2 Subject to the issuance of Bonds, and the
availability of the proceeds thereof, and to the provisions
of Section 10.04 with respect to the Dulles Stage II
Development Plan, the Authority shall complete the Projects
of the Capital Development Program in a good and workmanlike
manner, substantially in accordance with Exhibits N-J and D-
J and the Project Construction Documents developed or to be
developed by the Authority's Architects and Engineers for
each Project, current copies of which are or will be on file
at the Authority's offices.
10.02.3 The Authority shall provide the Airline
information with respect to the Capital Development Program
and an opportunity to consult on matters with respect
thereto. This may be accomplished in the following manner
The Signatory Airlines will establish, staff, and maintain
an organization known as the Metropolitan Washington
Airlines Committee ("MWAC"). The Airline may designate its
representative to MWAC. The seven largest Signatory
Airlines, as determined by reference to the combined landed
weight at the two Airports, will constitute an executive
committee of the MWAC, provided that the executive committee
includes at least one domestic airline from each Airport and
at least one foreign flag airline at Dulles. The executive
committee of MWAC shall designate an individual to serve as
a representative for all Scheduled Air Carriers ("Airline
Representative") to the Authority with respect to the
construction and operational impact of all Projects
described in the Capital Development Program and all
Additional Projects.
(i) The Authority shall afford the Airline
Representative access to all construction sites relating to
the Capital Development Program and an opportunity to
participate in the evaluation of design and construction
alternatives. The Authority shall consider the comments and
requests of the Airline Representative regarding design and
construction of a Project and of alternatives and methods
proposed to reduce or eliminate adverse operational impacts
or costs.
(ii) The Authority shall provide the Airline
Representative the following:
(a)The scope, budget, and schedule for each
Project in the Capital Development Program prior to the
award of a contract for design, if any, for that Project.
(b)Copies of design submittals for the
schematic, design, development, and construction document
phases of the design process. Routine submittals will

electrical design documents will not be routinely submitted.
Design submittals shall not include correspondence or
minutes of meetings between the Authority and the designer.
(c)A periodic Capital Development Program
cost control report which shall include the original Cost
Estimate and the Current Cost Estimate, including all fees,
for each Project contained in the Capital Development
Program.
(d)Notice of pre-bid and pre-construction
meetings
(e)A monthly listing of change orders in
excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000).
(f)A monthly update of the Capital
Development Program schedule.
(g)A monthly status report for each
contract which has been awarded and not completed and each
contract that is in the bidding process.
(h)A weekly construction forecast.
(iii) The Airline Representative shall have an
opportunity, upon his reasonable request, to meet with the
Authority to discuss the Project design, and the effects of
the Project construction on airfield operations or landside
access.
(iv) The Authority agrees to sponsor employment of said
Airline Representative by providing necessary funds to the
Air Transport Association ("ATA") for his salary and for the
staffing and operation of his office. Payments will be made
to ATA commencing February 1, 1990, and every six (6) months
thereafter based on a budget submitted by the Airline
Representative to the Authority for its review following
approval by the executive committee of MWAC. Salaries,
benefits, and expenses will be included as O&M Expenses of
the Airfield Cost Centers.
(v) The Authority will provide to the Airline
Representative an office at National which shall be
considered administrative space for rate making purposes.
The space will be furnished, finished, maintained, and
provided utilities by the Authority, the cost of which will
be recovered as if it were the Authority's administrative
space. All necessary permits and access facilitation,
including employee parking and National and Dulles security
identification, will be made available to the Airline
Representative and his staff.
10.03 Capital Development Program Other Than Projects in
the Early Program or in the Dulles Stage II Development
Plan.
10.03.1 The Original Cost Estimate for the Capital
Development Program, not including the Early Program and not
including the Dulles Stage II Development Plan, is six
hundred sixty-nine million and four hundred fifty-four
thousand and four hundred dollars ($669,454,400) (stated in
1989 dollars) for National (Exhibit N-I), and three hundred
fifty-nine million and six hundred four thousand dollars
($359,604,000) (stated in 1989 dollars) for Dulles (Exhibit
D-I). Such Original Cost Estimate excludes financing costs,
interest on Bonds, or on any interim financing obtained by
the Authority to finance the Capital Development Program,
and other deposits and reserves required by any Indenture.
The Original Cost Estimate for each Airport shall be revised
from time to time to reflect any design changes approved by
the Authority and a Majority-in-Interest of Signatory
Airlines for the Airfield Cost Center at that Airport. In
addition, the Original Cost Estimates shall be revised
annually in accordance with the U.S. Implicit Price Deflator
Index. Such revision shall be calculated by escalating the
estimated costs of the Projects included in the Original
Cost Estimate to their respective midpoints of construction.
The Original Cost Estimates, as revised pursuant to this
Paragraph 10.03.1, of the Capital Development Program, shall
not be exceeded except as set forth in this Article.
10.03.2 The Authority shall for each Airport develop
and maintain Current Cost Estimates for each of the Projects
included in the Capital Development Program, except for
Projects in the Early Program, and except for the Dulles
Stage II Development Plan which shall be subject to
Paragraph 10.04.3.
(i) Whenever the Current Cost Estimate applicable to a
Project in the Capital Development Program (except the Early
Program and the Dulles Stage II Development Plan) at either
Airport exceeds the Original Cost Estimate, as revised
pursuant to Paragraph 10.03.1, for that Project by more than
five percent (5%) percent, the Authority shall promptly
notify the Airline Representative. Whenever such excess is
more than ten percent (10%), the Authority shall meet
promptly with the Airline Representative to discuss such
increased cost and to determine whether and how the Project
could be revised so that the Current Cost Estimate for such
Project will not exceed the Original Cost Estimate for such
Project by more than ten percent (10%).
(ii) The Authority agrees to consider the requests,
suggestions, and recommendations of the Airline
Representative; provided, however, that so long as the
Current Cost Estimate for the Capital Development Program
(excluding the Early Program and Dulles Stage II) at an
Airport has not exceeded the Original Cost Estimate, as
revised pursuant to Paragraph 10.03.1, plus the contingency
described in Paragraph 10.03.3, the decision whether to
revise the Capital Development Program at that Airport shall
be solely reserved to the Authority, and shall be made at
the sole discretion of the Authority.
10.03.3 The following contingencies are hereby
established for the Capital Development Program (excluding
the Early Program and excluding the Dulles Stage II
Development Plan):
National: twenty-five percent (25%)
of the Original Cost
Estimate, as revised
pursuant to Paragraph
10.03.01
Dulles: twenty percent (20%) of
the Original Cost
Estimate, as revised
pursuant to Paragraph
10.03.1
In the event the Original Cost Estimate, as revised pursuant
to Paragraph 10.03.1, plus the contingency, for the Capital
Development Program (excluding the Early Program and Dulles
Stage II) at either Airport is exceeded by the Current Cost
Estimate for such Airport, the Authority shall be required
to do one or more of the following:
(i) Modify or defer a sufficient number of Priority 2
Projects at that Airport so that the Current Cost Estimate
for such Airport does not exceed the Original Cost Estimate,
as revised pursuant to Paragraph 10.03.1, plus the
contingency at such Airport;
(ii) Fund the cost overrun from the Authority's annual
share of Net Remaining Revenue or from any balance in the
Authority Capital Fund (in which event there shall be no
Amortization Requirement);
(iii) Issue subordinated debt payable from and
secured by the Authority's share of Net Remaining Revenue to
fund the cost overrun; or
(iv) Obtain approval for additional funding from a
Majority-in-Interest of the Signatory Airlines for the
appropriate Cost Center at that Airport.
10.03.4 The Authority shall provide to the Signatory
Airlines a financial feasibility study of the Capital
Development Program Project 152 (structured parking at
Dulles), as it may be redesignated, and any analysis thereof
by the Authority. The Authority will not proceed with
completion of final design and construction of such Project
until a five month review and comment period for Signatory
Airline response on the feasibility study has transpired.
10.04 Dulles Stage II Development Plan.
10.04.1 The Authority shall have the right to
undertake the construction of the Dulles Stage II
Development Plan only after one or more of the following
provisions has been satisfied:
(i) Design and construction may commence at any time
that the cost of the New Midfield Concourse(s) is to be
financed as a Special Facility;
(ii) Design and construction may commence at any time
that Signatory Airlines at Dulles accounting for at least
fifty percent (50%) of total Dulles Enplaning Passengers
during the then most recent twelve (12) consecutive month
period, have executed amendments to their Agreements to
lease at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66.67%) of
the Airline leasable premises in the New Midfield
Concourse(s);
(iii) In the absence of the authorization to begin
design and construction of the Dulles Stage II Development
Plan pursuant to Paragraph 10.04.1(i) or (ii), the design
and preparation of Construction Documents for the Dulles
Stage II Development Plan may be undertaken by the Authority
(but no actual construction may commence) at any time
following the date that total Enplaning Passengers at Dulles
in the twelve (12) consecutive month period immediately
preceding said date were at least eight million (8,000,000)
Enplaning Passengers; during such design period, the
Authority and the Signatory Airlines shall use their best
efforts to resolve any outstanding issues related to the
Dulles Stage II Development Plan;
(iv) In the absence of the authorization to begin
design and construction of the Dulles Stage II Development
Plan pursuant to Paragraph 10.04.1(i) or (ii), subject to
the Signatory Airlines' rights described in Paragraph
10.04.6, actual construction of the Dulles Stage II
Development Plan may commence at any time following the date
that total Enplaning Passengers at Dulles in the twelve (12)
consecutive month period immediately preceding said date
were at least nine million five hundred thousand (9,500,000)
Enplaning Passengers. For purposes of this Paragraph
10.04.1, "actual construction" shall be deemed to commence
at the time that a contract, or contracts, has been awarded
for the construction of any portion of the Dulles Stage II
Development Plan, provided that the total amount of such
contract, or contracts, is at least two million dollars
($2,000,000);
(v) Design and construction of the Dulles Stage II
Development Plan may commence at any time with approval of a
Majority-in-Interest of the Signatory Airlines for the
Airline Supported Areas (excluding the Airfield Cost Center)
at Dulles; or
(vi) Design and construction of the Dulles Stage II
Development Plan may commence at any time on or after
January 1, 2000.
10.04.2 The Original Cost Estimate for the Dulles
Stage II Development Plan is three hundred twenty-five
million and three hundred ninety-five thousand dollars
($325,395,000) (stated in 1989 dollars). Such Original Cost
Estimate excludes financing costs, interest on Bonds or on
any interim financing obtained by the Authority to finance
Dulles Stage II, and other deposits and reserves required by
the Indenture. The Original Cost Estimate shall be revised
from time to time to reflect any design changes approved by
the Authority and a Majority-in-Interest of the Signatory
Airlines at Dulles for the Airline Supported Areas excluding
the Airfield Cost Center. In addition, the Original Cost
Estimate shall be revised annually in accordance with the
U.S. Implicit Price Deflator Index. Such revision shall be
calculated by escalating the estimated Project costs
included in the Original Cost Estimate to their respective
midpoints of construction. In the event Dulles Stage II is
undertaken pursuant to Paragraph 10.04.l(iv), the Original
Cost Estimate, as revised pursuant to this Paragraph
10.04.2, for the Dulles Stage II Development Plan shall not
be exceeded except as set forth in this Article.
10.04.3 The Authority shall develop and maintain
Current Cost Estimates for each of the Projects included in
the Dulles Stage II Development Plan. In the event Dulles
Stage II is undertaken pursuant to Paragraph l0.04.l(iv),
the following shall apply:
(i) Whenever the Current Cost Estimate applicable to a
Project in the Dulles Stage II Development Plan exceeds the
Original Cost Estimate, as revised in accordance with
Paragraph 10.04.2, for that Project by more than five
percent (5%) percent, the Authority shall promptly notify
the Airline Representative. Whenever that excess is more
than ten percent (10%), the Authority shall meet promptly
with the Airline Representative to discuss such increased
cost and to determine whether and how the Project could be
revised so that the Current Cost Estimate for such Project
will not exceed the Original Cost Estimate for such Project
by more than ten percent (10%).
(ii) The Authority agrees to consider the requests,
suggestions, and recommendations of the Airline
Representative; provided, however, that so long as the
Current Cost Estimate for the Dulles Stage II Development
Plan has not exceeded the Original Cost Estimate, as revised
in accordance with Paragraph 10.04.2, plus the contingency
described in Paragraph 10.04.4, the decision whether to
revise the Stage II Development Plan shall be solely
reserved to the Authority, and shall be made at the sole
discretion of the Authority.
10.04.4 The contingency for the Dulles Stage II
Development Plan is hereby established as twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Original Cost Estimate, as revised in
accordance with Paragraph 10.04.2, of the Stage II
Development Plan.
10.04.5 In the event Dulles Stage II is undertaken
pursuant to Paragraph l0.04.l(iv) and except as provided in
Paragraph 10.04.6, in the event the Original Cost Estimate,
as revised in accordance with Paragraph 10.04.2, plus the
contingency, for the Dulles Stage II Development Plan is
exceeded by the Current Cost Estimate, the Authority shall
be required to do one or more of the following:
(i) Modify or defer a sufficient number of Priority 2
Projects, if any, so that the Current Cost Estimate does not
exceed the Original Cost Estimate, as revised in accordance
with Paragraph 10.04.2, plus the contingency;
(ii) Fund the cost overrun from the Authority's annual
share of Net Remaining Revenue or from any balance in the
Authority Capital Fund (in which event there shall be no
Amortization Requirement);
(iii) Issue subordinated debt payable from and
secured by the Authority's share of Net Remaining Revenue to
fund the cost overrun; or
(iv) Obtain approval for additional funding from a
Majority-in-Interest of the Signatory Airlines for the
Airline Supported Areas (excluding the Airfield Cost Center)
at that Airport.
10.04.6 In the event the condition in Paragraph
l0.04.1(iv) is satisfied and the Authority notifies the
Airline Representative that it intends to proceed with
construction of the Stage II Development Plan, and at the
time of the notice the Current Cost Estimate exceeds the
Original Cost Estimate, as revised in accordance with
Paragraph 10.04.2, plus contingency, if the Authority does
not receive a Majority-in-Interest approval of the Signatory
Airlines at Dulles for the Airline Supported Areas
(excluding the Airfield Cost Center), the Authority shall
defer actual construction of Dulles Stage II for one year.
Thereafter, the Authority may proceed with construction of
the Dulles Stage II Development Plan and (i) Paragraph
10.04.5 shall not apply, and (ii) to the extent that the
Authority expends funds for the Dulles Stage II Development
Plan from the Authority's share of Net Remaining Revenues or
from any balance in the Authority Capital Fund, there shall
be no Amortization Requirement.
10.04.7 Upon Substantial Completion of the New
Midfield Concourse(s), the Authority may, in its sole
discretion, remove from service or demolish all, or a
portion of, the Existing Midfield Concourses.
10.05 Additional Projects.
10.05.1 The Authority will provide the Airline
Representative with a list of any proposed Additional
Projects for each Fiscal Year in advance of the Fiscal Year.
The Authority will also provide the Airline Representative
at least sixty (60) days notice before beginning any
Additional Project not included in said list. No additional
notification, approval, or other requirements shall apply to
any other Additional Projects except those in Airline
Supported Areas. In addition, the Authority shall notify
the Airline in writing if it intends to undertake Additional

(iii) The Authority's means of financing or paying
the costs of the proposed Additional Project(s); and
(iv) The planned allocation of the costs thereof to the
various Cost Centers and Sub-Centers and the estimated
impact on Signatory Airline rates for rentals, fees, and
charges.
10.05.2 Within thirty (30) days after the Authority's
delivery of said notice of Additional Projects in Airline
Supported Areas, the Authority shall schedule a meeting with
the Signatory Airlines collectively, or with an airline
committee selected by the Signatory Airlines. The Authority
shall review and consider the comments, suggestions, and
recommendations of the Airline together with the comments
and recommendations of the other Signatory Airlines;
provided, however, the Authority reserves the right to make,
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10.05.4 with respect
to Additional Projects to be financed with the proceeds of
Bonds, the final decision with respect to such Additional
Project. After the meeting, the Authority shall notify the
Airline of its decision on whether to proceed with the
Additional Project as proposed or modified.
10.05.3 If the Authority proceeds with Additional
Projects in the Airline Supported Areas, the Authority shall
provide the Airline Representative the following:

the following categories, no additional procedures are
required:
(a)Projects necessary to comply with any
current or future law, rule, regulation, order or judgment
of any Federal, state, or local agency (excluding the
Authority) or court, or any Federal grant agreement or
airport certification requirement, including any required

included in such project;
(f)Projects necessary to replace or repair
damaged, destroyed, or condemned property to the extent that
the amount of insurance or condemnation proceeds has been
inadequate;
(g)Projects for the acquisition and
installation of Equipment in accordance with Section 6.06;
or
(h)Projects included in the Fiscal Year
1990 repair and rehabilitation program and, in the Fiscal
Year in which a Surviving Agreement at Dulles expires,
projects in the amounts necessary and appropriate to fund
additions to the O&M Reserve required by the application of
this Agreement to the Premises which were leased under the
Surviving Agreement; or
(i)Any project with respect to which the
Authority has received approval of a Majority-in-Interest of
the Signatory Airlines with respect to the Cost Center at

(ii) If an Additional Project is not within one or more
of the foregoing categories, then:
(a)During Fiscal Years 1990 through 1994,
the Authority could not issue Bonds to fund such project;
(b)During Fiscal Years 1995 through 1999,
the Authority could issue Bonds to fund such project but
only if the amount of such Bonds, together with Bonds
previously issued pursuant to this Paragraph (b) or
previously issued pursuant to a Majority-in-Interest
approval, would not exceed one hundred million dollars
($100,000,000) at either Airport;
(c)During Fiscal Years 2000 through 2004,
the Authority could issue Bonds to fund such project but
only if the Authority defers for one year from the date of
Majority-in-Interest disapproval the issuance of Bonds for
any such project the estimated cost of which exceeds twenty-
five million dollars ($25,000,000); and
(d)During Fiscal Years 2005 through 2014,
the Authority could issue Bonds to fund such project but
only if the Authority defers for one year from the date of
Majority-in-Interest disapproval the issuance of Bonds for
any such project the estimated cost of which exceeds twenty-
five million dollars ($25,000,000) (stated in 2001 dollars
and escalated in accordance with the U.S. Implicit Price
Deflator Index); thereafter, the Authority may proceed with
the Project (i) if it obtains a Majority-in-Interest
approval, or (ii) if after requesting Majority-in-Interest
approval, such approval is not obtained, the Authority may
issue Bonds for the project only after giving the Airline
sixty (60) days notice of its intent to do so. Commencing
on the date of notification of the Authority's intent to
proceed to issue Bonds and continuing for sixty (60) days
thereafter, the Airline would have the right to terminate
this Agreement upon one hundred eighty (180) days' written
notice to the Authority; provided, further, however, that if
the Authority does not issue such Bonds, any such
termination notice shall be ineffective.
10.06 Amortization. Subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 10.03.3(u), 10.04.5(u), and 10.04.6 in the event
that the Authority funds any Project in the Capital

Project, or portion thereof, attributable or allocable to
the Airline Supported Areas from the Authority's share of
Net Remaining Revenue, Amortization Requirements shall be
charged for such Additional Project and included in the
calculation of Signatory Airline rentals, fees, and charges
pursuant to Articles 8 and 9.
10.07 Capital Development Program Audit. The MWAC may
conduct a financial audit, using a nationally recognized
accounting firm, of the Authority's implementation of the
Capital Development Program and of Additional Projects in
the Airline Supported Area. The Authority shall make its
financial records for the most recent three (3) years

to maximize Federal and Commonwealth of Virginia aviation
grants that may be available to fund a portion of the costs
of the Capital Development Program and any Additional
Projects.
10.08.2 The parties hereto recognize that the
Commonwealth of Virginia has advanced four million dollars
($4,000,000) to the Authority to be expended on design costs

financed over a ten (10) year period.
10.09 Improvements by the Airline.
10.09.1 The Airline may construct and install,
consistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement
and at its sole expense, Airline Operating Facilities and
improvements in its Exclusive, Preferential, and if any,
Joint Use Premises as the Airline deems to be necessary for
its operations; provided, however, that the plans and
specifications, location, and construction schedule for such
Airline Operating Facilities and improvements must be
approved by the Authority in writing prior to the
commencement of any and all such construction or
installation. No reduction or abatement of rentals, fees,
and charges due to the Authority hereunder shall be allowed
for any interference by such construction with the Airline's
operations hereunder.
10.09.2 Prior to the commencement of construction of
any such Airline Operating Facilities and improvements, the
Airline shall obtain or cause to be obtained a contract
surety bond in a sum equal to the full amount of any
construction contract. Said bond shall (i) be drawn in a
form and from such company reasonably acceptable to the
Authority; (ii) shall guarantee the faithful performance of
necessary construction and completion of improvements in
accordance with the Authority's approved final plans and
detailed specifications; and, (iii) shall protect the
Authority against any losses and liability, damages,
expenses, claims, liens, and judgments caused by or
resulting from the failure to perform completely the work
described. The Airline shall further acquire, or cause to
be acquired, a payment bond with any contractor or
contractors of the Airline as principal, in a sum equal to
the full amount of the construction contract awarded by the
Airline for the improvements and shall require its
contractor to acquire similar bond from its subcontractors.
Said bond shall guarantee payment of all wages for labor and
services engaged, and of all bills for materials, supplies
and equipment used in the performance of said construction
contract. The Airline shall assure that any work associated
with such construction or installation shall not
unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Airports,
or otherwise unreasonably interfere with the permitted
activities of other Airport tenants and users. The Airline
shall within five (5) working days discharge any lien filed
against its property or Premises by posting a bond or other
adequate security.
10.09.3 The Airline shall require contractors to
furnish satisfactory evidence of statutory worker's
compensation insurance1 comprehensive general liability

Authority may require additional insurance for any
alterations or improvements approved hereunder, in such
limits as the Authority reasonably determines to be
necessary.
10.09.4 Any construction or installation shall be at
the sole risk of the Airline and shall be in accordance with
all applicable state and local codes and laws and subject to
inspection by the Authority.
10.09.5 Upon completion of approved construction, and
within sixty (60) days of the Airline's receipt of a
certificate of occupancy for the new construction, a
complete set of as-built drawings shall be delivered to the
Authority for the permanent record of the Authority.
10.09.6 All Airline Operating Facilities, except
those financed by the Authority, shall be and remain the
property of the Airline during the Period of this Agreement.
Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, any
Airline Operating Facilities and improvements which are
permanently affixed to the Airline's Premises shall become
the property of the Authority. Provided, that in the event
of a termination of this Agreement before the expiration of
the twenty-five (25) year Period in accordance with Section
2.02, the Airline shall be entitled to receive from the
Authority, or the Authority shall cause the Airline to
receive, payment for the unamortized value of approved
installation of Airline Operating Facilities and
improvements that are permanently affixed to the Premises
which are vacated by the Airline and not leased to the
Airline in a subsequent Agreement or subsequently used by
the Airline. For these purposes, facilities and
improvements shall be amortized on the basis of generally
accepted accounting principles over their useful life as
agreed upon at the time the Authority approves the
improvement in accordance with Paragraph 10.08.1.
10.10 Rail System. The Authority and the Airlines
recognize that, at the time of preparation and distribution
for execution of this Agreement, the Authority has no
current intention to participate in the capital or operating
costs of a Rail System. The Authority will, however, be
supportive of efforts of those outside the Authority to
provide a Rail System to the Airport and will use its best
efforts to accommodate a Rail System on the Airport. The
Authority and the Airlines have mutual concerns regarding
potential financial impact of future proposals or decisions
relating to a Rail System. In view of these concerns, it is
agreed as follows:
(i) No operating or maintenance costs associated with
any Rail System may be incurred by the Authority and/or paid
for from any source of funds other than the Authority's
Capital Fund unless and until such costs are addressed and
mutually resolved in a written agreement between the
Majority-in-Interest of the Signatory Airlines at Dulles for
the Airfield Cost Center and the Authority.
(ii) Any capital costs in excess of ten million dollars
($10,000,000), and all operating costs that may ultimately
be incurred by the Authority as a result of its
accommodation of or participation in a Rail System will be
addressed in an agreement between the Majority-in-Interest
of the Signatory Airlines at Dulles for the Airfield Cost
Center and the Authority. The negotiation of such an
agreement will commence at least six (6) months prior to the
Authority's Fiscal Year in which such costs would be
incurred with the objective of reaching an agreement not
less than sixty (60) days prior to such Fiscal Year.
(iii) In the absence of such an agreement, the
aggregate of all capital costs of any rail link to Dulles
which the Authority may incur is ten million dollars
($10,000,000) over the Period of this Agreement and all
costs shall be allocated to the Dulles ground transportation
cost center.

ARTICLE 11.
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION TO PREMISES; INSURANCE
11.01 The Authority's Responsibilities.
11.01.1 The Authority shall maintain insurance or cause
insurance to be maintained with a responsible insurance company
or companies approved to do business in the Commonwealth of
Virginia, or adopt and maintain a risk financing plan for
property losses and said insurance, plan, or combination thereof
shall cover such risks as are ordinarily insured against by
reasonably prudent operators of airports, including the insurance
required by the Indenture, and further, including, without

windstorm, hail, floods, explosion, riot, riot attending a
strike, civil commotion, damage from aircraft, smoke and uniform
standard extended coverage with vandalism and malicious mischief
endorsements, coverage of demolition of buildings and removal of
debris, all-risk coverage, business interruptions, and extra
expense. Such insurance or plan shall be maintained in an amount
not less than the full insurable replacement value. Full
insurable replacement value of any insured improvement shall be
deemed to equal the actual replacement cost of the improvement
and shall be determined by the Authority from time to time, but
not less frequently than once every three years. In the event
that such determination of full insurable replacement value
indicates that the improvements are underinsured, the Authority
shall secure the necessary additional coverage.
11.01.2 If a portion of the Airports within the Airline
Supported Areas, except property for which the Airline is
responsible under Section 11.02, is damaged or destroyed by fire
or other peril, and except for TAP or as provided elsewhere in
this Article 11, the Authority after consultation with the
Airline, shall, to the extent of proceeds of the Authority's
property insurance paid to the Authority or self insurance,
repair, reconstruct, and replace the damaged or destroyed
improvements so that the Airports are returned substantially to
the same condition, character, and utility value (based upon the
plans and specifications for the Premises, subject to the then-
existing Airport building standards) as existed prior to such
damage or destruction, exclusive of improvements made by the
Airline and Airline Operating Facilities. With respect to TAP,
the Authority shall so repair, reconstruct, and replace damaged
or destroyed TAP to the extent suitable to the conduct of the
Airline's Air Transportation Business or provide alternative
suitable Premises.
11.02 The Airline's Property Insurance Responsibilities.
11.02.1 The Airline shall be primarily responsible for
insuring its Airline Operating Facilities and for insuring the
property for which it has responsibility in accordance with a
Surviving Agreement. The Authority shall be an additional named
insured on policies for the insurance of the Airline's Premises.
11.02.2 The insurance for Airline Operating Facilities and
property required by Paragraph 11.02.1 shall be in an amount
equal to the full replacement value thereof. This insurance
shall include the following coverages at a minimum fire,
lightning, windstorm, hail, floods, explosion, riot, riot
attending a strike, civil commotion, damage from aircraft, smoke
and uniform standard extended coverage with vandalism and
malicious mischief endorsements, coverage of demolition of
buildings and removal of debris, all-risk coverage, business
interruptions, and extra expense.
11.03 Rental Abatement.
11.03.1 If the Premises or Equipment, or any portion
thereof, are rendered untenantable by reason of damage or
destruction, other than damage or destruction described in
Paragraph 11.03.2, the Airline shall be entitled to a pro rata
abatement of rentals, based upon size and type of area rendered
untenantable, until the Premises or Equipment are restored;
provided, however, that the Airline shall not be entitled to any
such abatement of rentals at any time if the rate covenant under
the Indenture is not at such time being met, or if such abatement
would cause the rate covenant to be violated, or if such
abatement would prevent the Authority from complying with any
additional bonds test under the Indenture.
11.03.2 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Article 11, if the Premises or Equipment shall be damaged or
destroyed by fire or other peril, due to the negligence or
willful act or omission of the Airline, its officers, its
employees acting within the course and scope of their employment,
its agents, or licensees, the Airline shall not be entitled to
any rental abatement.
11.04 Responsibilities if Damage or Destruction Occurs.
11.04.1 The Authority shall use its best efforts to
provide the Airline with alternative Premises and Equipment
during the period that its Premises and Equipment are damaged or
destroyed and are untenantable or unusable. Said alternative
Premises or Equipment shall be suitable for the conduct of the
Airline's Air Transportation Business, but shall not be construed
to require alternative Premises and Equipment that are comparable
to the size1 location, access, or other features of the Premises
or Equipment leased under Article 6.
11.04.2 The Airline shall pay rentals, fees, and charges
in accordance with Article 8 for any alternative Premises and
Terminal Equipment used or leased by it during the period of
repair and reconstruction of the original Premises.

damage is caused by the negligent act or omission or willful
misconduct of the Authority. The Authority shall give to the
Airline reasonable notice of, and an opportunity to defend
against, any such claims or actions, and the Authority shall take
reasonable actions to mitigate its damages.
12.01.1 The Airline shall defend, indemnify, and hold the

associated therewith in any way arising from or based upon the
violation of any Federal, state, or municipal laws, statutes,
resolutions, or regulations by the Airline, its agents,

Airline's use and/or occupancy of the Airport. The Authority
shall give the Airline reasonable notice of, and an opportunity
to defend against, any such claims or actions, and the Authority
shall take reasonable actions to mitigate its damages.
12.01.2 If the Authority is deemed to be in noncompliance
with laws or regulations governing access to secure areas of the
Airport and to the areas of the Airfield and said non-compliance
is the result of or due to the negligence or willful act or
omission of the Airline or of any of the Airline's employees,
agents, or contractors and such breach results in a civil penalty
action against the Authority, the Airline agrees to reimburse the
Authority for all expenses, including reasonable attorney fees,
incurred by the Authority in defending against the civil penalty
action and for any civil penalty or settlement amount paid by the
Authority as a result of being deemed in non-compliance. The
Authority shall give the Airline reasonable notice of any
allegation, investigation, or proposed or actual civil penalty
sought for such non-compliance.
12.01.3 The provisions of this Section 12.01 shall survive

or damage, which occur prior to the termination or early
cancellation of this Agreement.
12.02 Required Insurance Coverage. The Airline, at its sole
cost and expense, shall throughout the Period of this Agreement,
keep all of its operations on the Airports, and its obligation to
indemnify the Authority pursuant to Section 12.01, continuously

and shall include aircraft liability, airport liability,
passenger liability and baggage and cargo liability. Provided,
however, if the Airline operates at the Airports only as a
Regional/Commuter Air Carrier, the Airline shall maintain
aircraft liability insurance in a combined single limit amount of
not less than fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) per occurrence.
A twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000) per occurrence sub-
limit for personal injury, bodily injury (including death) and
property damage liability shall cover premises-operation, medical

representative of the insurance company authorized to bind that
company.
12.03.3 All insurance policies required hereunder may be
written to include a reasonable retention or deductible. Said
retention or deductible shall be subject to the approval of the
Authority which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
12.03.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Article, the Authority will allow the insurance coverage required
by Section 12.02 herein to be provided through a self-insurance
plan established by the Airline; provided that the self-insurance
plan may consist of a combination of primary, excess umbrella
insurance and a self-insured retention, and the total of
insurance and self insurance protection is no less than the
limits stated in this Article. The self-insurance plan must be
approved in writing by the Authority prior to becoming effective
at the Airports. An Airline requesting the Authority's approval
of a self-insurance plan must submit a copy of its self-insurance
plan, current financial statement showing the limits of its
established self-insurance retention and proof of the primary and
excess umbrella insurance. The Authority shall have thirty (30)
days to review the proposed self-insurance plan. If the self-
insurance plan is approved by the Authority and becomes
effective, the Airline shall not increase the self-insurance
retention levels stated in the self-insurance plan approved by
the Authority without the approval of the Authority.
12.03.5 The Authority reserves the right to periodically
review any and all policies of insurance and to request
reasonable adjustments in the limits of coverage required
hereunder from time to time throughout the Period of this
Agreement, but not more frequently than once every two years.
The Authority shall provide the Airline with such request in
writing and the Airline shall comply within sixty (60) days from
the receipt thereof.

13.01.7 The discontinuance by the Airline of its Air
Transportation Business at the Airports for a period of thirty
(30) consecutive days or for a period of sixty (60) days in any
Fiscal Year; provided, however, that suspension of operations by

13.01.8 The voluntarily discontinued use or abandonment by
the Airline for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days of all,

13.01.9 The failure of the Airline to pay rentals, fees,
and charges or any other payment required by this Agreement when
due and the expiration of the period, if any, provided for herein

in the event of a dispute over a payment, the Airline shall not
be in default provided that the Airline has presented, at the
time the payment is due, the dispute in detail and in writing, to
the General Manager of the Authority. The decision of the
General Manager will reinstate or modify the amount due and the
due date. The Airline shall pay the amount due as specified by

diligence to remedy same, and that such nonperformance will be
remedied within a reasonable period of time.
13.01.14 The issuance of an order or the taking of action
by any court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over
the Airline's operations which for a period of thirty (30) days
substantially limits or prohibits the Airline's operations at the
Airports. Provided, however, that before it invokes its remedies
for a default under this Paragraph 13.01.14, the Authority will
have reasonably determined that the material adverse consequences
of a default herein cannot be substantially eliminated by the
procedures available to the Authority under Article 17.
13.02 Remedies.
13.02.1 In addition to any remedy provided by law, and
except for defaults under Paragraph 13.01.8, if the Airline shall
be in default under this Agreement, and if the notice of default
to the Airline stated that this Agreement could, as a result
thereof, be terminated, the Authority shall have the right, in
its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement. The
termination may be effective in not less than ten (10) calendar
days from the date of written notice of termination from the
Authority unless the Airline has cured the default during this
period.
13.02.2 The Authority's remedies for a default under
Paragraph 13.01.8 includes the right to reclaim, in its
discretion, the Premises that have been abandoned and to delete
same from the Airline's Agreement. Such reclamation may be
effective in not less than ten (10) calendar days from the date
of written notice from the Authority. Nothing herein shall
preclude the Authority from terminating this Agreement in its
entirety in the event that the Airline's default under Paragraph
13.01.8 relates to all of its Premises at both Airports. Nothing
herein shall, in the event of a default under Paragraph 13.01.8,
preclude the Authority, as an alternative to reclaiming the
Premises or Equipment or terminating this Agreement, from
continuing to hold the Airline responsible for the performance of
this Agreement for the Period thereof.
13.02.3 Upon the effective date of termination or
reclamation under Paragraphs 13.02.1 or 13.02.2, respectively,
the Authority may re-enter and take immediate possession of the
Premises. Notices of termination or reclamation under Paragraphs
13.02.1 or 13.02.2 shall operate as a notice to quit and any
other notice to quit or notice of the Authority's intention to re-
enter the Premises is hereby expressly waived. If necessary, the
Authority may proceed to recover possession of the Premises under
and by virtue of the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, or by
such other proceedings, including re-entry and possession, as may
be applicable. If the Authority elects to terminate this
Agreement in whole or in part, everything contained in this
Agreement on the part of the Authority to be done and performed
shall cease without prejudice to the right of the Authority to
recover from the Airline all rentals, fees, charges, and other
sums accrued up to the time of termination or recovery of
possession by the Authority, whichever is later. Further, the
Authority shall use its best efforts to relet the Premises, and,
if the full rentals provided for herein plus the costs, expenses,
and damages described below shall not be realized by the
Authority, the Airline shall be liable for all damages sustained
by the Authority, including, without limitation, any deficiency
in rentals, fees, and charges, the expenses of placing the
Premises in good rentable condition, and reasonable attorneys'
fees. The provisions contained in this Section shall be in
addition to, and shall not prevent the enforcement of, any claim
the Authority may have against the Airline for anticipatory
breach of this Agreement.
13.02.4 All rights and remedies of the Authority set forth
herein are in addition to all other rights and remedies available
to the Authority at law or in equity. All rights and remedies
available to the Authority hereunder, at law or in equity, are
expressly declared to be cumulative. The exercise by the
Authority of any such right or remedy shall not prevent the
concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.
No delay in the enforcement or exercise of any such right or
remedy shall constitute a waiver of any default by the Airline
hereunder or of any of the Authority's rights or remedies in
connection therewith. The Authority shall not be deemed to have
waived any default by the Airline hereunder unless such waiver is
set forth in a written instrument signed by the Authority. If
the Authority waives in writing any default by the Airline, such
waiver shall not be construed as a waiver of any covenant,
condition, or term set forth in this Agreement except as to the
specific circumstances described in such written waiver.
13.02.5 If the Authority shall institute proceedings
against the Airline and a compromise or settlement thereof shall
be made, the same shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent
breach of the same or of any other covenant, condition, or term
set forth herein, nor of any of the Authority's rights hereunder
with regard to any future occurrence of the same or other matter.
Neither the payment by the Airline of a lesser amount than the
full rentals, fees, and charges due hereunder nor any endorsement
or statement on any check or letter accompanying a check for
payment of rent or other sums payable hereunder shall be deemed
an accord and satisfaction, and the Authority may accept such
check or payment without prejudice to the Authority's right to
recover the balance of such rent or other sums or to pursue any
other remedy available to the Authority. Unless previously
agreed to by the Authority in writing, no re-entry by the
Authority shall be considered an acceptance of a surrender of
this Agreement or Premises.
13.03 To the extent that the Authority's right to terminate
this Agreement as a result of an event enumerated in Paragraphs
13.01.1 through 13.01.6 of this Article is determined to be
unenforceable under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended from
time to time, or under any other statute, then the Airline and
any trustee who may be appointed agree (i) to perform promptly
every obligation of the Airline under this Agreement until this
Agreement is either assumed or rejected under the Federal
Bankruptcy Code; (ii) to pay on a current basis all rentals,
fees, and charges set forth in this Agreement; (iii) to reject or
assume this Agreement within sixty (60) days of a filing of a
petition under the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (iv) to cure or
provide adequate assurance of a prompt cure of any default of the
Airline under this Agreement; and (v) to provide to the Authority
such adequate assurance of future performance under this
Agreement as may be requested by the Authority, including a
tender of Contract Security as set forth in Section 8.13 of this
Agreement.
13.04 Special Cancellation Right. In the event that the
United States government determines that the Airline has failed
to comply with the nondiscrimination covenants set forth in
Section 18.04 herein, the Authority shall have the right to
cancel this Agreement after such action as the United States
government may direct to enforce such covenants has been followed
and completed, including exercise or expiration of appeal rights
ARTICLE 14.
AIRLINE REMEDIES
14.01 Default. The occurrence of the following shall be
considered an event of default by the Authority The failure of
the Authority to perform any material covenant or term required
to be performed by the Authority and the failure continues for
thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the
Airline, or, if by its nature such default cannot reasonably be
cured within thirty (30) days, the Authority fails to diligently
commence to cure such default within said thirty (30) day period
after receipt from the Airline of written notice to remedy the
same
14.02 Airline's Remedy. Provided the Airline is not itself

Outstanding, and if the Airline is not then in default in the

during the continuance of any one of the following events:
(i) The issuance by any court of competent jurisdiction of
an injunction in any way preventing or restraining the use of the
Airport or any part thereof so as to substantially limit or
prohibit the Airline's use of the Airport in the conduct of its
Air Transportation Business, and the remaining in force of such
injunction, not stayed by way of appeal or otherwise, for a
period of at least sixty (60) days;
(ii) The enactment of any law, issuance of any order, rule,
ordinance, or regulation, or the taking of any action by a
Federal, state, or local government body or agency having
jurisdiction with respect to the Airport, or the occurrence of
any fire, other casualty, act of God or the public enemy,
substantially limiting or prohibiting, for a period of at least
sixty (60) days, the Airline's use of the Airport in the conduct
of its Air Transportation Business; provided, however, that none
of the foregoing is instituted or initiated by the Airline or due
to any fault of the Airline;
(iii) The default by the Authority in the performance of
any material covenant or agreement required to be performed by
the Authority herein, which default materially and adversely
limits or prohibits the Airline's operations at the Airport, and
the failure by the Authority to remedy such default after written
notice thereof has been delivered to the Authority, unless (a)
the Authority takes prompt action to remedy such default within a
period of thirty (30) days after receipt from the Airline of such
notice, or (b) in the case of any such failure which cannot with
due diligence be cured within such thirty (30) day period, the
Authority takes corrective action within the thirty (30) day
period and diligently pursues such action until the failure is
cured.
(iv) The substantial limiting or restricting of the
Authority's operation of the Airport by action of any Federal,
state, local government body or agency having jurisdiction with
respect thereto, and the continuance thereof for a period of not
less than sixty (60) days, provided such restriction materially
and adversely affects the Airline's operations at the Airport.
ARTICLE 15.
SURRENDER OF PREMISES; HOLDING OVER
15.01 Surrender and Delivery. Immediately upon termination
or the expiration of this Agreement, or upon deletion of any
portion of the Premises (including TAP) and Equipment leased
hereunder in accordance with Article 5 or 17, the Airline shall
peaceably surrender and deliver to the Authority the Premises and
Equipment that are the subject of said expiration or termination.
Premises and Equipment shall be surrendered in good condition,
with the exception of ordinary wear from use of the Premises and
Equipment for the purpose for which they were leased. After

if any, incurred by the Authority to bring the Premises and
Equipment up to such condition.
15.02 Removal of Property.
15.02.1 Except as provided in Paragraph 15.02.2, nothing
herein shall be construed to preclude the Airline from removing
from the Airports or otherwise disposing of its personal
property, including aircraft, tools, equipment, and trade
fixtures, title to which is to remain with the Airline. All
Authority property damaged by or as a result of the removal of
Airline property shall be promptly restored by the Airline to the
condition existing before such damage, at the Airline's sole cost
and expense. Such aircraft, tools, equipment, trade fixtures,
and other personal property shall be removed upon the expiration
of this Agreement or from any portion of the Premises upon the
deletion from this Agreement of that portion from the Premises
leased hereunder.
15.02.2 Any removal of property by the Airline pursuant to

Agreement, any personal property of the Airline not removed in
accordance with Paragraph 15.02.1 above, at the option of the
Authority, may be removed and placed in storage by the Authority

from storage by the Airline within one month after placement
therein, the Authority may elect, after notice to the Airline, to
take ownership of the property or dispose of the property by
either public or private sale and retain the proceeds. Any costs
of removal and disposition not covered by such proceeds shall be
borne by the Airline.
15.03 Holding Over. In the event the Airline holds over,
refuses, or fails to give up the possession of the Premises and
Equipment at the expiration or termination of this Agreement, or
the relevant portion of Premises and Equipment in the event of
expiration or termination of the lease for said portion, without
written consent of the Authority, the Airline shall have only the
status of a tenant at sufferance and no periodic tenancy will be
deemed to have been created. The Airline shall pay reasonable
rentals, rates, and charges as then prescribed by the Authority
and such rentals, rates, and charges may be different from those
prescribed during the Period of the Agreement. Rent shall be
paid on a pro rata basis for the period of time that the Airline
is in such a hold over status. Further, in the event that the
Airline holds over, and if the Authority shall desire to regain
possession of the Premises, then the Authority may re-enter and
take possession of the Premises. Furthermore, if the Authority
so elects, it may accept rent and concurrently commence legal
proceedings to regain possession of the Premises.
ARTICLE 16.
TRANSFER OF PREMISES BY ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING, ETC.
HANDLING AGREEMENTS
16.01 General. The Airline shall not assign, transfer,
convey, sell, mortgage, pledge, or encumber (hereinafter
collectively referred to in Article 16 as "assignment") or sublet
its Premises or Equipment, without the prior written approval of
the Authority. The Airline shall not allow the use of its
Premises or Equipment through a handling or services agreement or
similar arrangement (hereinafter collectively referred to in
Article 16 as "handling agreements") by any other Air
Transportation Company without the prior written approval of the
Authority. If the Airline fails to obtain prior written approval
of any such assignment, sublease, or handling agreement, the
Authority, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in

agreement and the assignee, sublessee or "handled" Air
Transportation Company shall acquire no interest in this
Agreement or any rights to use Premises or Equipment.

unreasonable for the Authority to disapprove or condition an
assignment of the Airline's Premises or Equipment under any or
all of the following circumstances, among others:
16.02.1 If the Airline has failed to accommodate a
Requesting Airline on reasonable terms prescribed by the
Authority in accordance with Article 17.

fifty percent (50%) or more of any of the following the Airline's
linear feet of ticket counter space; square feet of holdroom
space; or number of gate positions.
16.02.3 If the assignee is not, and is not willing to
become, a Signatory Airline.
16.02.4 If a Signatory Airline, including a Signatory
Airline which is not leasing space directly from the Authority
because of the unavailability of such space, is, in the
determination of the Authority, in need of the Premises and/or
Equipment proposed to be assigned; provided, however, that such
signatory Airline is willing to take such Premises and Equipment
on substantially the same terms and conditions relating to the
use of such Premises and Equipment to be assigned as proposed in
the assignment.
16.02.5 If the Authority determines that there is adequate
space for lease by the proposed assignee directly from the
Authority.
16.02.6 If the Authority determines that the proposed
assignee is not substantially as creditworthy as the Airline.
16.02.7 Notwithstanding the foregoing, this section shall
not be interpreted to preclude the assignment of this Agreement,
and the Airline's rights and obligations hereunder, to a parent,
subsidiary, or merged company if such parent, subsidiary, or
merged company conducts an Air Transportation Business at the
Airport at which the Airline is a Signatory Airline and assumes
all rights and obligations hereunder. Written notice of such
assumption shall be provided by the parent, subsidiary, or merged
company thirty (30) days prior to the effective day of such
assignment.
16.03 Authority Approval of Subleases. It shall not be
unreasonable for the Authority to disapprove or condition a

Requesting Airline on reasonable terms prescribed by the

remaining Period of the Agreement, and (ii) is for greater than
fifty percent (50%) of any of the following Premises the
Airline's linear feet of ticket counter space; square feet of
holdroom space; or number of gate positions.
16.03.3 If the sublessee is an Air Transportation Company
who is not, and is not willing to become, a Signatory Airline.
16.03.4 If a Signatory Airline, including a Signatory
Airline which is not leasing space directly from the Authority
because of the unavailability of such space, is, in the
determination of the Authority, in need of the Premises and/or
Equipment proposed to be subleased; provided, however, that such
Signatory Airline is willing to take such Premises or Equipment
on substantially the same terms and conditions as proposed in the
sublease and is willing to provide the Airline with a reasonable
security deposit, not to exceed three (3) months' rentals.
16.03.5 If the Authority determines that there is adequate
space for lease directly from the Authority by the proposed

permits it to be terminated upon notice from the Authority to the
parties thereto of the availability of Premises in accordance
with Section 1.04.
16.04 Authority Approval of Handling Agreements. It shall
not be unreasonable for the Authority to disapprove or condition
a handling agreement if the Airline has failed to accommodate a
Requesting Airline on reasonable terms prescribed by the
Authority in accordance with Article 17.
16.05 Reasons for Disapproval. The circumstances under which
the Authority may determine to disapprove or condition
assignments, subleases, and handling agreements set forth in
Sections 16.02, 16.03, and 16.04 are not intended to be a
comprehensive list of all those which the Authority may impose
under Section 16.01.
16.06 Method of Obtaining Approval. The Airline, when
requesting an approval of an assignment, sublease, or handling
agreement under Section 16.01, shall include with its request a
copy of the proposed agreement, if prepared, or a detailed
summary of the material terms and conditions to be contained in
such agreement. Any proposed agreement or detailed summary
thereof shall provide the following information (i) the Premises
and/or Equipment to be assigned, sublet, or used under a handling
agreement; (ii) the terms; (iii) if a sublease, the rentals and
fees to be charged; and (iv) all material terms and conditions of
the assignment, sublease, or handling agreement the Authority may
reasonably require. If approved, the Airline shall submit a
fully executed copy of such agreement to the Authority within
thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of the assignment or
sublease or within fifteen (15) days after the commencement of
the handling agreement.
16.07 Administrative Charge. In the event the Airline is
authorized by the Authority to sublease any portion of its
Premises or Equipment, the Airline may charge such sublessee, in
addition to a reasonable charge for any services and Airline
owned property provided by the Airline or actual costs other than
rental costs incurred by the Airline, reasonable rentals not to
exceed one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the Airlines'
rentals for such portion of the Premises and Equipment.
16.08 Airline to Remain Liable. The Airline shall
remain fully and primarily liable during the Period of this
Agreement for the payment of all of the rental due and payable to
the Authority for the Premises and Equipment that are subject to
an assignment, sublease, or handling agreement under Section
16.01, and fully responsible for the performance of all the other
obligations hereunder, unless otherwise agreed to by the
Authority; provided, however, this Section 16.08 shall not apply
to Premises and Equipment with respect to which an assignment has
been made at the Authority's request pursuant to Paragraph
16.02.4 hereof.
16.09 Authority Determination of Type of Agreement. The
Authority shall have the right to examine the terms of any
agreement or arrangement submitted to it for approval pursuant to
this Article 16, and determine whether such agreement or
arrangement is most appropriately characterized as an assignment,
sublease, or handling agreement, regardless of the Airline's
characterization of such agreement or arrangement.
ARTICLE 17.
AVAILABILITY OF ADEQUATE FACILITIES
17.01 General. The Authority and the Airline agree that
facilities at the Airports are limited and the Airline shall
cooperate fully with the Authority's exercise of its obligation
to prudently operate and manage the Airports so as to provide
adequate facilities for all Air Transportation Companies,
including the Airline1 operating or desiring to operate at the
Airports.
17.02 Periodic Reallocation of Premises. It is recognized
that an allocation of Premises at National occurred in 1989 and
is reflected in Exhibits N-B and D-B. It is recognized that an
allocation of Premises will occur at Dulles in conjunction with
the westerly and easterly expansions of the Main Terminal and
said allocation will be consistent with Section 6.04. In
addition to any other rights of the Authority, the Authority may,
effective the date which is nine (9) months prior to the date of
Substantial Completion of the new North Terminal at National and
on every third anniversary of the date of Substantial Completion
thereafter, reallocate the Airline's Premises and Equipment at
National Airport among the Signatory Airlines. In addition to
any other rights of the Authority, the Authority may, effective
on the date which is the third anniversary of the date of
Substantial Completion of the westerly expansion of the Main
Terminal at Dulles and on every third anniversary of that date
thereafter, reallocate the Airline's Premises and Equipment at
Dulles Airport among the Signatory Airlines. Such reallocations
may result in the reduction of the Airline's Premises and
Equipment and/or cause the Airline to vacate Premises and
relocate to other Premises. The reallocation of any Premises
shall be accomplished in accordance with a utilization study
conducted by the Authority which shall take into account the
following factors, among others:
(i) Each Signatory Airline's historical, current and
reasonably projected frequency of operations;
(ii) Each Signatory Airline's number of Enplaning and
Deplaning Passengers;
(iii) Each Signatory Airline's number of gates;
(iv) Each Signatory Airline's linear feet of ticket counter
space, square feet of holdroom space and square feet of other
Premises;
(v) The need to provide Premises and Equipment to a
Signatory Airline which is without adequate Premises and
Equipment leased directly from the Authority due to the
unavailability of such space;
(vi) The practicality of the Authority constructing
additional Premises within a reasonable period of time; and
(vii) The need for the Authority to manage aircraft and
passenger activity at the Airport in order to correct an
imbalanced use of Airport facilities, including Aircraft Parking
Positions, or to minimize or ameliorate congestion in the
Terminal or at the curbside.
17.02.1 In making such reallocations, the Authority shall
give the Airline, along with other Signatory Airlines at the
affected Airport, not less than thirty (30) days written notice
of the proposed space reallocations together with the Authority's
reasons for the reallocations. The Airline shall during the
thirty (30) day period be entitled to respond to the proposed
reallocations in writing. A final decision of the Authority
shall be in writing from the General Manager and contain the
basis therefor along with the effective date of a reallocation,
if any.
17.02.2 In implementing such reallocations, the Authority
shall attempt to minimize disruptions to the Airline's operations
and to preserve the operational integrity of the Airline's
Premises during and after such reallocation.
17.02.3 If, as a result of a reallocation under this
Section 17.02, the Airline is required to relocate all or a
portion of its operations, or to consolidate its operations in
its remaining Premises, the Authority shall determine the
reasonable cost of such relocation or consolidation, including
the unamortized cost on the basis of generally accepted
accounting principles of reallocated Airline Operating Facilities
and fixed improvements vacated by the Airline, and said costs
shall be borne by the Signatory Airline gaining the use of the
reallocated Premises or Equipment, and shall be paid to the
Airline.
17.02.4 The Authority shall revise the Exhibits hereto, as
appropriate, to reflect the resulting modifications of the
Agreement, and such amended Exhibits shall be substituted herein.
17.03 Voluntary Accommodation of a Requesting Airline.
17.03.1 The need exists to maximize the use of facilities
that are available on a long term basis to the signatory Airlines
and to facilitate the entry of new Scheduled Air Carriers and the
expansion of service by other Scheduled Air Carriers operating at
the Airports (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Requesting
Airline(s)"). The Authority hereby expresses a preference to
have, to the extent possible, a Requesting Airline's need to use
the Airport(s) accommodated by the Signatory Airlines on a
voluntary basis. The Airline's voluntary accommodation of a
Requesting Airline hereunder shall be subject to the prior
execution of a handling agreement or written sublease between the
Airline and such Requesting Airline setting forth mutually agreed
upon terms, conditions, rates and charges, which handling
agreement or sublease shall also require the written approval of
the Authority prior to the effectiveness thereof in accordance
with Article 16. Any such accommodation agreement made by the
Airline and the Requesting Airline may define the priority rights
of the Airline.
17.04 Accommodation on Exclusive and Joint Use Premises.
17.04.1 In the event the Authority receives a written
request from a Requesting Airline for a type of space leased on
an exclusive or joint use basis to others, and the Requesting
Airline demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Authority that it
has contacted all Signatory Airlines at a level above the local
station manager and has exhausted all reasonable efforts to find
reasonable accommodations for its proposed operations on the
Airport, the Authority shall serve written notice to all
Signatory Airlines of the Authority's intention to make a
determination, in not less than fifteen (15) calendar days, as to
how the Requesting Airline will be accommodated.
17.04.2 The Authority will be guided by all pertinent
factors, including Airline's present use and the use planned by
the Airline for such Premises in the one hundred eighty (180)
days immediately after the request, the present and planned
requirements for Air Transportation Companies that the Airline is
then accommodating or handling, the compatibility of such
Requesting Airline's proposed operations and work force with the
Airline's own operations and work force and those of other Air
Transportation Companies already using such facilities, and the
security of the Airline's and the Requesting Airline's
operations.
17.04.3 The Authority may request that planned uses and
requirements be documented and submitted in writing to the
Authority, and if the Airline requests, the Authority shall treat
such planned uses and requirements as confidential, proprietary
information.
17.04.4 If the Authority determines that the Requesting
Airline can be accommodated on the Airline's Exclusive or Joint
Use Premises, the Authority may (i) authorize in writing the
Requesting Airline to use the Premises leased to the Airline;
(ii) notify the Airline in writing of such authorization and the
effective date thereof; and (iii) provide to the Airline and to
such Requesting Airline a written statement specifying the
required terms and conditions, if any, including whether the
Requesting Airline may handle its aircraft and passengers with
its own employees or agents, except that the Authority shall not
prescribe the rates and charges to be imposed by the Airline upon
the Requesting Airline for any services provided by the Airline
to the Requesting Airline, other than as prescribed in Article
16.
17.04.5 If the Airline is directed to accommodate a
Requesting Airline in accordance with Section 17.04 and Section
17.06, the Airline shall make available to the Requesting
Airline for the Requesting Airline's use, the Airline's Exclusive
or Joint Use Premises or such portion thereof as shall be
determined by the Authority.
17.05 Accommodation on Preferential Use Premises.
17.05.1 In the event the Authority receives a request from
a Requesting Airline for a type of space leased on a preferential
basis to others, the Authority shall make a determination as to
how the Requesting Airline will be accommodated. Promptly
thereafter, the Authority shall notify the Airline of any planned
accommodation on the Airline's Preferential Use Premises;
provided, however, the Authority has determined that the
Requesting Airline's schedule is compatible with the Airline's
priority use as described in Paragraph 17.05.2 and would not
require the Airline to reschedule an existing arrival or
departure. The Airline shall, consistent with its right of
priority use, as described in Paragraph 17.05.2, accommodate such
Requesting Airline as directed by the Authority by providing
access to and use of its Preferential Use Premises.
17.05.2 If the Airline is directed to accommodate a
Requesting Airline under Paragraph 17.05.1, the Airline shall
have the priority use of such Premises at all times except for
each period commencing fifteen (15) minutes before the Requesting
Airline's next scheduled arrival at a gate and continuing until
the earlier of the Requesting Airline's scheduled departure from
the gate or forty-five (45) minutes (one hundred twenty (120)
minutes for a wide body aircraft) before the next scheduled use
of the gate by the Airline assuming there is no other gate
available to the Airline for such next scheduled use. The
Airline may make a change in its own scheduled use of said
facilities by giving the Requesting Airline who is being
accommodated at least thirty (30) days notice of any schedule
change that would require the Requesting Airline to change its
schedule or otherwise discontinue use of said facilities. In the
event of any conflicts due to schedule delays of either the
Airline or the Requesting Airline, such conflicts shall be
resolved in the manner least likely to inconvenience the
passengers of both airlines. Such conflicts shall be resolved by
the Airline and the Requesting Airline whenever possible. In the
absence of such resolution, the Authority shall resolve such
conflicts.
17.05.3 Accommodation on Preferential Use Premises shall
not be subject to the procedures of Section 17.04, but shall be
as directed by the Authority for the operations of aircraft by an
Air Transportation Company; provided, however, that the Authority
shall not require an accommodation under this Section 17.05
unless there is not a reasonable means of accommodating the Air
Transportation Company on Premises and Equipment obtained
directly from the Authority, and, if the Requesting Airline is a
Signatory Airline, there is not a reasonable means as determined
by the Authority, of accommodating the aircraft operations on
that Signatory Airline's Premises and Equipment.
17.05.4 For purposes of Paragraph 17.05.1, a direction by
the Authority shall be sufficient if given by the manager of the
Airport to the Airline's manager of its station for the Airport.
17.06 Use of Equipment. In connection with an accommodation
pursuant to Section 17.04 or 17.05, the Authority may also
authorize the Requesting Airline to use Equipment or airline-
owned equipment; provided, however, that whenever the Requesting
Airline is authorized to use airline-owned equipment, the
following conditions shall apply (i) such equipment must be
essential to the accommodation of the Requesting Airline (e.g.,
loading bridges and baggage claim and makeup equipment), and (ii)
when reasonably required, the Airline may require the Requesting
Airline to use the Airline's employees to operate such equipment.
17.07 Indemnification. During the period of accommodation by
a Requesting Airline pursuant to Sections 17.04 through 17.06,
the Airline shall be relieved of its obligation under this
Agreement to indemnify and save harmless the Authority, its
officers, directors, employees, or agents with regard to any
claim for property damage or personal injury arising out of the
accommodation of said Requesting Airline unless such damage or
injury is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the
Airline, its officers, directors, employees, or agents. The
Authority shall require the Requesting Airline to agree in
writing to indemnify the Authority and the Airline in the manner
and to the extent required of the Airline, pursuant to Article 12
hereof.
17.08 Payment by Requesting Airline. Payment by the
Requesting Airline to the Airline for accommodation on the
Airline's Premises or Equipment or Airline-owned property and for
services shall be reasonable and for the Premises or Equipment or
Airline-owned property shall not exceed one hundred fifteen
percent (115%) of the Airline's cost on a pro-rata basis. The
Airline may require a reasonable security deposit from the
Requesting Airline, not to exceed three (3) months' payments. In
the event of a payment default by the Requesting Airline, the
Airline may institute termination procedures in the following
manner (i) the Airline shall certify such payment default to the
Authority; (ii) the Authority shall have fifteen (15) days in
which to pursue appropriate remedies against the Requesting
Airline; and (iii) if, after such fifteen (15) day period, the
Requesting Airline remains in default, the Airline may terminate
the Requesting Airline's use of such Premises, Equipment and
airline-owned equipment upon fifteen (15) days' notice.
ARTICLE 18.
FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS
18.01 Relationship to Federal Lease. This Agreement shall be
and remain subordinate to the provisions of the Federal Lease
dated March 2, 1987, between the United States Department of
Transportation and the Authority, providing for the Authority's
lease of the Airports effective June 7, 1987. The Authority
agrees to provide the Airline written advance notice of any
material amendments to the Federal Lease. At any time after the
execution of this Agreement, the United States Department of
Transportation, or its successor, shall have the right to declare
this Agreement to be superior to the Federal Lease.
18.02 Other Government Agreements. This Agreement shall be
and remain subordinate to the provisions of any existing or
future agreements between the Authority and the United States
government or other governmental authority, relative to the
operation or maintenance of the Airports, the execution of which
has been or will be required as a condition precedent to the
granting of Federal or other governmental funds for the
development of the Airport, to the extent that the provisions of
any such existing or future agreements are generally required by
the United States or other governmental authority of other civil
airports receiving such funds. The Authority agrees to use its
best efforts to notify the Airline of any provision of which the
Authority becomes aware which would materially and adversely
modify the material terms of this Agreement.
18.03 Federal Government's Emergency Clause. All provisions
of this Agreement shall be subordinate to the rights of the
United States of America to operate the Airports or any portion
thereof during time of war or declared national emergency in
accordance with established lawful procedures. Such rights shall
supersede any provision of this Agreement that is inconsistent
with the operation of the Airports by the United States of
America during a time of war or national emergency.
18.04 Nondiscrimination.
18.04.1 The Airline for itself, its personal
representatives, successors in interest, and assigns, as a part
of the consideration hereof, does hereby agree as a covenant
running with the land that (i) no person on the grounds of race,
color or national origin shall be excluded from participation in,
denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to
discrimination in the use of Premises; (ii) in the construction
of any improvements on, over, or under Premises and the
furnishing of services thereon, no person on the grounds of race,
color or national origin shall be excluded from participation in,
denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to
discrimination; and (iii) the Airline shall use the Premises in
compliance with all other requirements imposed by or pursuant to
the Airport and Airway Improvement Act of 1982, as amended or
superseded, and any regulations issued thereunder, as well as in
compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 49
CFR, Subtitle A, Part 21, Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted
Programs of the United States Department of Transportation, as
said Statute and regulations may be amended.
18.04.2 The Airline acknowledges that the provisions of 49
CFR Part 23, "Participation by Minority Business Enterprise in
Department of Transportation Programs," as said regulations may
be amended, and such other similar regulations that may be
enacted governing Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, may be
applicable to the activities of the Airline under the terms of
this Agreement, unless exempted by said regulations, and hereby
agrees to comply with the applicable regulations. These
requirements may include, but not be limited to, compliance with
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise or Minority Business
Enterprise, as such terms are defined in 49 USC 2204, 49 CFR
23.5, or such other statutes or regulations as may be enacted
governing minority or disadvantaged business enterprises,
participation goals, the keeping of certain records of good faith
compliance efforts, which would be subject to review by the
various agencies, the submission of various reports and, if so
directed, the contracting of specified percentages of goods and
services contracts to Minority and Disadvantaged Business
Enterprises.
18.05 Airfield and Sterile Area Security. The Airline
expressly acknowledges its responsibility to provide security for
the sterile area in accordance with 14 CFR Part 107, "Airport
Security," and 14 CFR Part 108, "Airplane Operator Security," as
such may be amended from time to time, and with all rules and
regulations of the Authority concerning security procedures,
including each Airport's approved security program.
18.06 Airport Certification. The Airline shall not operate
at the Airports in a manner that prevents or impairs the
Authority's ability to meet and maintain compliance with 14 CFR
Part 139, "Certification and Operations Land Airports Serving
Certain Air Carriers," and other requirements for obtaining, and
maintaining, an Airport Operating Certificate from the FAA.
ARTICLE 19.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
19.01 Rights Reserved to the Authority. All rights not
specifically granted to the Airline by this Agreement are
reserved to the Authority.
19.02 Actions By the Authority and the Signatory Airlines.
Whenever in this Agreement the doing of any act or the exercise
of any right by the Airline is conditioned upon receipt of
approval, permission, agreement or authorization, the Authority
shall promptly render its decision and shall neither unreasonably
withhold nor unreasonably condition its approval of a request by
the Airline. Whenever in this Agreement any approval is required
from the Airline or from a Majority-in-Interest, such decision
shall be promptly rendered and shall not be unreasonably withheld
or conditioned.
19.03 Majority-in-Interest Approval Procedures. The
Authority shall initiate the Majority-in-Interest approval
process by delivering the request for approval to the Signatory
Airlines at the appropriate Airport for the appropriate Cost
Center. The request will be deemed to have been approved unless
the Authority receives, within thirty (30) days, written notice
of disapproval from the Signatory Airlines representing a
Majority-in-Interest at such Airport for such Cost Center.
19.04 Authority Not Liable. Except as specifically provided
for in this Agreement, the Authority shall not be under any duty
or obligation to the Airline to repair or maintain the Premises,
or any portion thereof, or any facilities or equipment
constructed thereon. The Authority shall not be responsible or
liable to the Airline for any claims for compensation for any
losses, damages, or injury, including lost profits, sustained by
the Airline resulting from failure of any water supply, heat, air
conditioning, electrical power, or sewer or drainage facility, or
caused by the natural physical conditions on the Airports,
whether on the surface or underground, including stability,
moving, shifting, settlement of ground, or displacement of
materials by fire, water, windstorm, tornado, act of God, or
state of war, civilian commotion or riot, or any other cause or
peril beyond the control of the Authority, except to the extent
covered by the Authority's insurance.
19.05 Laws, Regulations, and Compliance.
19.05.1 Laws and Regulations. The Airline and the
Authority shall each comply with all applicable Federal, state,
and local laws, codes, regulations, including regulations of the
Authority, ordinances, rules, and orders now or hereafter in
force; provided, however, that the Airline or the Authority may,
without being considered in breach hereof, contest any of the
foregoing as long as such contest is diligently commenced and
prosecuted by the Airline or the Authority, as the case may be.
19.05.2 Safety and Fire Regulations The Airline shall
conduct its operations and activities under this Agreement in
compliance with all safety regulations and directives of the
Authority and applicable Federal, state, and local laws. The
Airline shall procure and maintain such fire prevention and
extinguishing devices as required by the Authority and shall at
all times be familiar with and comply with the fire regulations
and orders of the Authority.
19.05.3 Security. The Airline understands that the police
security protection provided by the Authority is finite and
limited to that generally provided to any other airline or
business on the Airports and expressly acknowledges that any
special security measures deemed necessary or desirable for
additional protection of the Premises, equipment, improvements,
and the Airline's personal property, and that of its employees
and invitees shall be the sole responsibility of the Airline and
shall involve no cost to the Authority.
19.05.4 Compliance By Other Tenants. The Authority shall,
whenever possible, make reasonable efforts to obtain uniform
compliance with the Authority's rules and regulations; however,
the Authority shall not be liable to the Airline for any
violation or non-observance of such rules and regulations by any
user, tenant, concessionaire, other Air Transportation Company,
invitee, licensee, or trespasser at the Airports nor shall such
violation or non-observance by a user, tenant, concessionaire,
other Air Transportation Company, invitee, licensee, or
trespasser at the Airports, constitute a waiver of the Airline's
obligation to comply with Authority rules and regulations.
19.06 Inspection. The Airline shall allow the Authority's
authorized representatives entry to the Premises for the purpose
of examining and inspecting said Premises, for purposes
necessary, incidental to, or connected with the performance of
the Authority's rights and obligations under this Agreement or in
the exercise of its governmental functions. Except in the case
of an emergency, the Authority shall conduct such inspections
during reasonable business hours, and in the presence of the
Airline's representative.
19.07 Relationship of the Parties. The Airline is and shall
be deemed to be an independent contractor and operator
responsible to all parties for its respective acts and omissions,
and the Authority shall in no way be responsible therefor.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as making the
Airline an agent or representative of the Authority for any
purpose whatsoever.
19.08 Covenant Not to Grant More Favorable Terms. The
Authority shall accord all Signatory Airlines substantially equal
treatment and shall not hereafter, during the Period of this
Agreement, offer to other Scheduled Air Carriers more favorable
rates or terms and conditions at the Airports than those provided
in this Agreement for comparable rights and privileges, unless
the more favorable rates and conditions are offered to the
Airline at the same time; provided, however, nothing herein shall
be construed to limit the Authority's rights to distinguish or
discriminate among different classes of Air Transportation
Companies, or to charge differential rental rates; provided,
further, the Airline acknowledges the Surviving Agreements in
Exhibits N-K and D-K, that these Surviving Agreements will be
accorded priority in the event of a conflict between the terms of
a Surviving Agreement and this Agreement, and the Airline agrees
that more favorable treatment of one or more Signatory Airlines
may result from the implementation of a Surviving Agreement and
said treatment shall not be a violation of this covenant
specifically or this Agreement generally.
19.09 Quiet Enjoyment. The Authority agrees that, upon
payment of the rentals, fees and charges and performance of the
covenants and agreements on the part of the Airline to be
performed hereunder, the Airline shall peaceably have and, in
accordance with the terms hereof, enjoy the Premises and all
rights, licenses, services, and privileges of the Airports and
their appurtenances granted herein.
19.10 No Individual Liability. No member, officer, agent,
director, or employee of the Authority or the Airline shall be
charged personally, or held contractually liable by or to the
other party, under the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or
because of any breach thereof, or because of the execution or
attempted execution of this Agreement.
19.11 Waiver of Performance. The failure of the Authority or
the Airline, in any one or more instances, to invoke a provision,
term, covenant, reservation, condition, or stipulation of this
Agreement, or to enforce or take action to enforce, or to demand
performance by the other party hereto, or to insist upon a strict
performance by the other of any of the provisions, terms,
covenants, reservations, conditions or stipulations contained in
this Agreement shall not be considered a waiver or relinquishment
of the rights to invoke, enforce, demand, or insist thereon, but
the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect, and
no waiver by either party of any provision, term, covenant,
reservation, condition, or stipulation hereof shall be deemed to
have been made in any instance unless expressed in writing. In
the event any agreement contained in this Agreement is breached
by either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such
waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and
shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach hereunder.
19.12 Force Majeure. Except as herein provided, neither the
Authority nor the Airline shall be deemed to be in default
hereunder if either party is prevented from performing any of the
obligations, other than the payment of rentals, fees and charges
hereunder, by reason of strikes, boycotts, labor disputes,
embargoes, shortages of energy or materials, acts of God, acts of
the public enemy, riots, rebellion, or sabotage.
19.13 Severability. If any article, section, provision,
term, or condition of this Agreement is held to be invalid by a
court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement,
including the remaining rights and obligations of the Authority
and the Airline, shall not be affected thereby.
19.14 Subordination to Indenture.
19.14.1 This Agreement and all rights granted to the
Airline hereunder are expressly subordinated and subject to the
lien and provisions of the pledges, transfer, hypothecation or
assignment made by the Authority in any prior Indenture, or
Indenture hereafter executed by the Authority, to issue Bonds.
The Authority expressly reserves the right to enter into such
Indentures and to make such pledges and grant such liens and
enter into such covenants as it may deem necessary or desirable
to secure and provide for the payment of Bonds, including the
creation of reserves therefor; provided, however, that no such
pledges, liens, covenants, or reserves shall have a material
adverse affect on the Airline.
19.14.2 The Airline understands that the Authority is and
will be the issuer of Bonds, the interest on which, with the
exception of taxable Bonds, is intended to be excludable from
gross income from the holders of such Bonds for Federal income
tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The
Airline agrees that it will not act, or fail to act (and will
immediately cease and desist from any action, or failure to act)
with respect to the use of the Premises and Equipment leased to
the Airline under this Agreement, if such act or failure to act
may cause the Authority to be in noncompliance with the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as they may be
amended, supplemented, or replaced, or the regulations or rulings
issued thereunder, nor will the Airline take, or persist in, any
action or omission which may cause the interest on the tax-exempt
Bonds not to be excludable from the gross income of the holders
thereof for Federal income tax purposes.
19.15 Prohibition Against Exclusive Rights. It is hereby
specifically understood and agreed that nothing herein contained
shall be construed to grant or authorize the granting of an
exclusive right to provide aeronautical services to the public as
prohibited by Section 308(a) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958,
as amended, and the Authority reserves the right to grant to
others the privileges and right of conducting any or all
activities of an aeronautical nature.
19.16 Airline Mergers and Consolidations. If the Airline
consolidates with or merges into another corporation or permits
one or more other corporations to consolidate with or merge into
it, or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its
property, assets and licenses to another corporation, the
corporation resulting from or surviving such merger (if other
than the Airline) or consolidation or the corporation to which
such transfer or conveyance is made shall (i) expressly assume in
writing and agree to perform all of the Airline's obligations
hereunder, (ii) be qualified to do business in the Commonwealth
of Virginia, and (iii) if such corporation shall not be organized
and existing under the laws of the United States of America or
any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia,
furnish to the Authority an irrevocable consent to service of
process in, and to the jurisdiction of the courts of, the
Commonwealth of Virginia with respect to any action or suit, in
law or at equity, brought by the Authority to enforce the
Agreement. If the Airline is the surviving corporation in such a
merger, the express assumption referred to in the preceding
sentence shall not be required.
19.17 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for
the benefit of the parties hereto only and is not intended to and
shall not create any rights in or confer any benefits upon any
person or entity (including any other Signatory Airline) other
than the parties hereto.
19.18 Distribution of Funds Upon Termination. All amounts
remaining in any fund or account, including any debt service
reserve, established under any Indenture entered into by the
Authority shall be distributed or applied in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture under which such fund or account was
established. All amounts in any other fund or account
established in connection with this Agreement shall be
distributed to the Authority, which may use such amounts for any
lawful purpose.
19.19 The Airline hereby irrevocably elects (binding the
Airline and all successors-in-interest under the Agreement) not
to claim depreciation or any investment tax credit with respect
to any Project or Additional Project financed with the proceeds
of Bonds.
19.20 Notices. Except as specifically provided elsewhere in
this Agreement, any notice given under the provisions of this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally

Project, as defined herein, and, in order to induce the
Authority to undertake the development of the Regional
Concourse and aircraft parking apron is willing to lease
Premises in the Regional Concourse along with the associated
Aircraft Parking Positions under the terms and conditions of
the Agreement and such other terms as expressed herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the preceding, and
the fees, charges, covenants and agreements contained
herein, the Authority and the Airline (the "Parties") agree
to amend Agreement No. 4-90-A040 as follows:
1. The Project. The Project for purposes of this
Amendment No. 8 consists of the Regional Concourse and
adjacent aircraft apron paving and related improvements.
a. The Authority will undertake and use its best
efforts to plan, finance, design, construct, equip, operate
and maintain an approximate 68,100 square foot Regional
Concourse with 36 gates that is suitable for the operation
of Regional/Commuter Air Carriers at Washington Dulles
International Airport. The Regional Concourse, as described
in Attachment A, will include facilities for accommodating
the enplaning and deplaning of passengers and baggage and
include concessions and other facilities and services for
the public. Construction of the Regional Concourse is
expected to be substantially complete by September 1999.

the Authority will plan, finance, design and construct an
aircraft parking apron adequate for the movement and parking
of up to 36 regional/commuter aircraft using the Regional

expected to be substantially complete by September 1999.
See Attachment A.
2. The Airline Covenants.
a. The Airline agrees that the Regional Concourse will be
an Additional Project in Airline Supported Areas and that as
such, the Authority cannot proceed with the Regional
Concourse unless and until the provisions of Section 10.05.4
of the Agreement are met.
b. The Airline hereby covenants that it will
support the Authority in its efforts to undertake and
complete the Regional Concourse and that the Airline will
take all action necessary or appropriate so that the
Authority can proceed in a timely manner to complete the
Regional Concourse as an Additional Project in an Airline

the Regional Concourse and the associated Aircraft Parking
Positions offered to it by the Authority on the Substantial
Completion Date of the Project for the duration of the
Agreement which shall not be less than 80 percent of the
leasable Premises in the Regional Concourse along with the
associated Aircraft Parking Positions. The Regional
Concourse is in the Airline Supported Areas at Washington
Dulles International Airport.
3. Fitout of Space in the Regional Concourse.
a. Consistent with paragraph 1 above, the Authority will

allowed to commence installation of its own
equipment and furnishings and otherwise fitout and

4. Authority not liable for delay. If there is any
delay in the completion of the Project which delays the use
of the Regional Concourse by the Airline beyond the
estimated Substantial Completion Date, the Authority shall
not be liable to the Airline for failure to complete the
Project or deliver possession of the Premises on the
estimated Substantial Completion Date. The Authority will
notify the Airline of any change in the estimated
Substantial Completion Date and the Airline's obligations
will remain as agreed to herein with the changed estimated
Substantial Completion Date. Failure by the Airline to
complete the fitout and furnishing of its exclusively leased
Premises shall not delay the Substantial Completion Date for
purposes of paragraph 6, below.
5. Substantial Completion Date. On the Substantial
Completion Date of the Project, the date of which, unless
changed by mutual agreement, shall not be sooner than one
hundred and twenty (120) days after the notice given in
paragraph 3.b. above, the following shall occur:
a. The lease of the Premises in the Regional

to the Airline shall become effective. Exhibit D-B-1 and
D-B-1A shall be deemed amended to add the Airline's Premises
and associated Aircraft Parking Positions under the
Agreement and all of the provisions, rights, privileges,
obligations including rental charges and other fees, terms
and conditions of the Agreement as amended shall apply.
b. Provided that the Airline has otherwise satisfied all
of its requirements for the Authority to issue a certificate
of public occupancy, the Airline may occupy its Premises in
the Regional Concourse and associated Aircraft Parking
Positions for purposes of conducting its Air Transportation
Business. The Airline's failure to satisfy all of its
requirements for the Authority to issue a certificate of
public occupancy shall not delay the effective date of the
lease of Premises in the Regional Concourse and associated
Aircraft Parking Positions.
6. Rates and Charges.
a. For purposes of determining rates and charges
under Section 8.03 of the Agreement, the Regional Concourse
will be a separate cost Sub-Center ("Regional Concourse Sub-
Center"). Other than those costs paid for with PFC revenue,
all costs to design, finance, construct, operate and
maintain the Regional Concourse, as described under
paragraph 1.a. above, and those additional costs allocated
to the Regional Concourse under the methodology of Article 8
of the Agreement will be allocated to the Regional Concourse
Sub-Center for purposes of determining rates and charges.
b. Except as provided in paragraph 8 hereinafter, all
other costs to design, finance, construct, and maintain the
aircraft movement and parking areas serving the Regional
Concourse, as described under paragraph 1.b. above,
including the additional costs allocated under the
methodology of Article 8 of the Agreement, will be included
in the Airfield Cost Center for Washington Dulles
International Airport. There will be Aircraft Parking
Position Charges as provided for in Section 8.04. of the
Agreement assessed to the Airline for the use of the
aircraft parking areas serving the Regional Concourse. The
Aircraft Parking Position Charges will be established as
equivalent to 12 narrow-body air carrier Aircraft Parking
Positions for the entire Regional Concourse. That is, three
regional/commuter aircraft parking positions will be
equivalent to one narrow-body air carrier aircraft parking
position for the purpose of assessing the Aircraft Parking
Position Charges associated with the Regional Concourse.
c. See Attachment B for the estimate of rates
and charges of the Regional Concourse with Bonds
and PFC's and the estimated Aircraft Parking
Position Charges. The amortization period for the
Bond financing shall be the life of the Bonds.
7. Bond Financing, Airline Interim Financing, and
Passenger Facility Charges (PFC's). The Authority agrees to
submit an application to the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) to impose a PFC and use a portion of the PFC revenue
collected, subject to FAA approval, to finance the cost of
the construction of those parts of the Regional Concourse
eligible for PFC financing. The Airline understands that
the application to impose and use PFC revenue may not be
approved by the FAA. The Parties agree that, prior to the
approval of the application to use PFC revenue, or if the
PFC application is not approved, the Parties will pursue
either of the following two financing options, as they may
mutually decide, to complete the Regional Concourse:
a. The Authority may proceed with the usual and customary
planning, design, and construction of the Project and pay
for such work with the proceeds of Bonds. The Authority
agrees that, upon the approval by the FAA to use PFC revenue
for the Regional Concourse, the Authority will take
reasonable and prudent measures to cause the repayment of
the Bonds for those parts of the Regional Concourse eligible
for PFC funding up to a limit of the PFC revenue allocated
to the Regional Concourse and approved by the FAA. The
Xxxxxxx also understands that to the extent the Project is
paid for, in whole or in part, with Bonds before the
application to use PFC revenue is approved by FAA, the
timing for the repayment of the Bonds for those parts of the
Regional Concourse eligible for PFC funding will be subject
to applicable laws and regulations.
b. b. The Airline may obtain its own Interim
Financing from a third party lender and proceed through the
lender to fund a portion of the total program cost of the
Regional Concourse not to exceed Thirteen Million Dollars
($13 million) and utilize the Authority's construction
contract by making construction progress payments to the
Authority. The provisions for the Airline's Interim
Financing shall be by agreement between the Authority, the
Airline, and the Airline's third party lender. The
Authority shall fund the balance of the total program cost
of the Regional Concourse with Bonds that will total no less
than $4.7 million. The program cost of the Regional
Concourse is estimated to total $17.7 million. The
Authority will not add changes to the Regional Concourse
that increase costs unless requested by the Airline and/or
unforseen costs occur during construction. The Authority
agrees that, upon the approval by the FAA to use PFC revenue
for the Regional Concourse, provided such approval occurs no
later than one year following the Substantial Completion
Date of the Project, the Authority will take reasonable and
prudent measures to replace the Airline's Interim Financing
with its PFC Revenue Note up to the limit of the PFC funding
allocated to the Regional Concourse and approved by the FAA.
Should the FAA disapprove or not act on the Authority
application within the one year period following the
Substantial Completion Date of the Project, the Parties
agree that the Authority shall be obligated to replace the
Xxxxxxx's Interim Financing with the proceeds of Bonds.
Should the application to use PFC revenue for the Regional
Concourse be subsequently approved by the FAA, the Authority
will take reasonable and prudent measures to cause the
repayment of that portion of the Bonds equal to the limit of
the PFC funding allocated to the Regional Concourse and
approved by the FAA, with the timing of such repayment of
Bonds being subject to applicable laws and regulations.
c.
c. Should the Airline obtain its own Interim Financing to
fund the construction of the Regional Concourse from a third
party lender utilizing the Authority's construction contract
by making construction progress payments to the Authority,
the Authority agrees that it will recognize the interest of
that lender in the Regional Concourse and it will execute
documents to provide appropriate security for the lender
upon the condition, however, that all rights acquired by the
lender under such Interim Financing shall be subject to all
of the covenants, conditions, and restrictions set forth in
Agreement No. 4-90-A040, this Amendment No. 8, and any
supplemental agreement entered into by the Authority, the
Airline, and the lender providing the Interim Financing.
8. Hydrant Fueling. The Authority will plan,
finance, design, and construct a hydrant fueling system to
serve the 36 regional/commuter aircraft parking positions of
the Regional Concourse as part of the work under the Project
completed under paragraph 1.b. above. The costs of this
addition to the hydrant fueling system shall not be part of
the Project. The Airline agrees to make use of the hydrant
fueling system through the Fueling Agent.
9. Maintenance. Maintenance responsibilities for the
Regional Concourse and associated Aircraft Parking Positions
by the Parties will be as provided for under Exhibit D-D of
the Agreement.
10. Cancellation/Termination, Surrender of Premises.
a. Notwithstanding that a portion of the Project
is to be funded with PFC revenue, the Airline's right to
terminate this Amendment No. 8 to Agreement No. 4-90-A040
shall be as specified in the Agreement with respect to Bond
financed projects. Further, in addition to the rights of
the Authority under Paragraph 2.02.2 of the Agreement, the
Authority may, in its sole discretion, terminate the
Airline's lease of Premises in the Regional Concourse and
associated Aircraft Parking Positions, effective at
midnight, December 31, 2004, or December 31 of any year
thereafter during the period of the Agreement, provided that
the Authority gives one hundred eighty (180) days written
notice to the Airline and the Authority terminates the
leases and the rights of all other Airlines using the
Regional Concourse effective on the same date.
b. The Authority may terminate the Airline's
lease of Premises in the Regional Concourse and associated
Aircraft Parking Positions without terminating the Agreement
or leases of Premises elsewhere on the Airport. Article 14,
"Surrender of Premises; Holding over," shall apply to any
action under this paragraph 10.
c. The Airline agrees that, in the event the
Authority exercises the right of termination as described in
this paragraph 10., the Airline shall be relieved on the
date the Authority terminates the lease of Premises of any
remaining unamortized costs of the Regional Concourse.
11. All terms and conditions of the Agreement,
including the provisions of Article 17 regarding
reallocation of Premises and accommodation of other
Airlines, shall apply to the Regional Concourse, except that
the date for periodic reallocation of Premises in the
Regional Concourse, shall be the first anniversary of the
Substantial Completion Date of the Regional Concourse or the
next date for reallocation of Premises for the Airport in
accordance with Section 17.02, whichever is the later date.
12. Any Project cost associated with environmental
clean up of the Project site, if any (e.g., remediation of
contaminated soil), shall be assigned to the Regional
Concourse Sub-Center or to the Airfield Cost Center, as
appropriate.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed
this Amendment No. 8 as of the dates shown below.

supplemental passenger ground transportation to and from its
aircraft and the Main Terminal in a manner that is
acceptable to the Authority and shall be reimbursed by the
Authority for the costs of that service in accordance with
the following procedures:
(i.) The Airline shall select and
enter into a contract with a service contractor to provide,
operate, and maintain shuttle buses or vans to provide the
supplemental passenger ground transportation. The Authority
shall not be a party to that contract. The Airline shall
submit for the approval of the Authority each contract or
amendment to a contract for which a reimbursement will be
requested.
(ii.) The Airline's supplemental
passenger ground transportation shall be used to transport
passengers to and from its aircraft parked on the Dulles Jet

aircraft to the Regional Concourse. Thereafter, the
Airline's passengers will be transported to the Regional

by the Airline up to a maximum of $110,000 per month. Such
costs shall include the vehicle leasing costs for up to

vehicle maintenance, insurance, and fueling costs. Costs in
excess of the $110,000 per month shall not be eligible for
reimbursement unless necessitated by increased passenger
levels.

not directly related to passenger ground transportation, as
well as the Airline's personnel and overhead costs for
administering the service contract, are not eligible for
reimbursement.
(v.) The Authority shall reimburse
the Airline by granting the Airline a credit against the
monthly fees and charges due to the Authority from the
Airline under the Agreement in accordance with the
following: Within 45 days after the end of each month, the
Airline shall provide to the Authority a certified statement
of the costs it incurred, including original paid invoices
from the service contractor in sufficient detail and format
to compare to the contract terms. In addition, the Airline
shall provide a summary of the service levels provided for
the month, including the number of buses scheduled per hour
for a typical operating day. The Authority shall notify the
Airline in writing, within 15 days after receipt of the
certified statement, of the approval or disapproval of the
certified statement. If disapproved, the reasons for
disapproval and the identification of the costs disapproved
for reimbursement will be stated. After approval by the
Authority, the Airline may apply the approved cost amount as
a credit against fees and charges otherwise due to the
Authority under the Agreement.
(vi.) The certified statement of
costs submitted by the Airline and approved by the Authority
shall be subject to audit by the Authority. The Airline
agrees to maintain all documentation supporting the
certified statement for two year and will make that
documentation available to the Authority upon request. The
Authority reserves the right to adjust the amount of the
credit based on subsequent audits and examination of
supporting documentation.
(vii.) The amount of the approved
credits for the supplemental passenger ground transportation
shall be added to the Passenger Conveyance charge
requirement and recovered as part of the Passenger
Conveyance Charge as provided for under Article 8 of the
Agreement."

the "Parties,") have entered into Agreement No. 4-9-A040
(hereafter, the "Agreement") providing for the use and lease

WHEREAS, the Authority and the Airline desire to provide
boarding assistance devices for individuals with
disabilities who are enplaning onto, or deplaning from,
certain small aircraft operated by the Airline at the
Airports and to do so in a manner that is at least
sufficient to meet the requirements of federal regulations
(49 CFR, Part 27) in effect on the date hereof requiring an
agreement between the Parties on the provision of boarding
devices; and
WHEREAS, the Parties are willing to make commitments to the
terms and conditions expressed herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the

1. The definitions in the Agreement apply to this
Amendment No. 14 unless expressly stated otherwise.
2. Amendment No. 8 represents a prior agreement
between the Parties on the subject of the Project and the
financing thereof. This Amendment No. 14 represents the
agreement of the Parties as of the date hereof and is a
restatement of, and in furtherance of, the agreement reached

effect to this Amendment No. 14.
3. The Project. The Project for purposes of this
Amendment No. 14 consists of the Regional Concourse,
adjacent aircraft apron paving including Aircraft Parking
Positions and other related improvements.
a. The Authority will undertake and use its best
efforts to plan, finance, design, construct, equip, operate
and maintain a building, also known as the Regional
Concourse, containing usual and customary facilities for
accommodating passengers and their baggage, concessions, and
other facilities to serve the Airline's passengers and
others who are associated with the enplaning and deplaning
of aircraft on the apron adjacent to the Regional Concourse.
The Regional Concourse will be constructed to substantially

attached hereto as Exhibit D-B-1, dated January 8, 1999,
depicting the Regional Concourse and the apron. The
demarcation of the Aircraft Parking Positions will be
proposed by the Airline and approved by the Airport Manager
consistent with the Exhibit.
4. Lease of Permanent Premises. The Airline hereby
commits to the Authority that, as of the Substantial
Completion Date, as provided for in Section 6.02 of the
Agreement, Lease of Permanent Premises and Equipment, the
Airline, without the need for any further action, will lease

5. Fitout of Space in the Regional Concourse. a.
Consistent with paragraph 3 above, the Authority will
furnish or contract to furnish all labor, materials,
equipment and furnishings to fitout and furnish the public
areas of the Regional Concourse, including: a) the gate
holdrooms with public area seating, carpeting, public
address system, and podium casework; b) the public
corridors, stairways, elevators, and restrooms; c) mobile
lounge docks; d) MUFIDS, and security equipment and cabling;
e) canopies and walkways leading to the Aircraft Parking
Positions; f) conduit and plugs for ground power units; and
g) through its concessionaires, the concession areas.
b. The Authority shall give written notice to
the Airline of the estimated Substantial Completion Date of
the Project at least one hundred and twenty (120) days prior
to that date. Upon receipt of the notice of the estimated
Substantial Completion Date, the Airline will be allowed to
commence installation of its own equipment and furnishings
and otherwise fitout and furnish its exclusively leased
club, office, and operations Premises in the Regional
Concourse.
6. Authority not liable for delay. The Authority
shall not be liable to the Airline for failure to complete
the Project or deliver possession of the Premises on the
estimated Substantial Completion Date. The Authority will
notify the Airline of any change in the estimated
Substantial Completion Date and the Airline's obligations
will remain as agreed to herein with the changed estimated
Substantial Completion Date. Failure by the Airline to
complete the fitout and furnishing of its exclusively leased
Premises shall not delay the Substantial Completion Date for
purposes of paragraph 7, below.
7. Substantial Completion Date. On the Substantial
Completion Date of the Project, the date of which, unless
changed by mutual agreement, shall not be sooner than one
hundred and twenty (120) days after the notice given in
paragraph 5.b. above, the following shall occur a. The
Airline's lease of the Premises in the Regional Concourse
described in paragraph 4, above, and associated Aircraft
Parking Positions shall become effective. Exhibit D-B-1 and
D-B-1A shall be deemed amended as of that date to add the
Airline's Premises and associated Aircraft Parking Positions
under the Agreement and all of the provisions, rights,
privileges, obligations including rental charges and other
fees, terms and conditions of the Agreement as amended shall
apply.
b. Provided that the Airline has otherwise
satisfied all of its requirements for the Authority to issue
a certificate of public occupancy, the Authority shall issue
said certificate and the Airline may occupy its Premises in
the Regional Concourse and associated Aircraft Parking
Positions for purposes of conducting its Air Transportation
Business. The Airline's failure to satisfy all of its
requirements for the Authority to issue a certificate of
public occupancy shall not delay the effective date of the
lease of Premises in the Regional Concourse and associated
Aircraft Parking Positions.
8. PFC and Airline Interim Financing.
a. Pursuant to the Agreement of the Parties in
Amendment No. 8 for the Airline to provide to the Authority
interim financing for the Project in the absence of the
approval by the United States Federal Aviation
Administration (the "FAA") of a Passenger Facility Charge to
finance the cost of the construction of certain eligible
parts of the Project ("PFC Financing") (which PFC Financing
is not available for the Project as of the date hereof due
to no fault or failure of the Authority), the Parties hereby
agree as follows with respect to certain interim funding for
the Project. b. The Airline either will loan to the
Authority, or facilitate the lending to the Authority, of up
to $15.0 million to be utilized by the Authority to pay for
a portion of the total costs of the Project including the
Authority's program management costs (the "Project Costs").
The Airline will utilize the proceeds of a bridge loan (the
"Bridge Loan") from Fleet Capital Corporation (the "Lender")
to reimburse the Authority for Project Costs, on the terms
and conditions provided herein.
c. Bridge Loan proceeds shall be paid by the
Airline to the Authority not later than the 14th day (or
next business day) after receipt by the Airline of a
notification (the "Notification") from the Authority that
the Authority has incurred and paid Project Costs. In the
Notification, the Authority shall (i) include a copy of the
paid invoice(s) representing and confirming the actual
payment of Project Costs by the Authority; (ii) certify and
acknowledge the obligation of the Authority to repay the
principal amount requested in the Notification, that the
amount requested to be paid or reimbursed by the Airline
constitutes the binding repayment obligation of the
Authority to the Airline as provided for herein (a "Bridge
Loan Obligation") as well as a Bridge Loan Obligation
pursuant to, and as defined in, the January __, 1999, Escrow
Agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") among the Airline, the
Authority and Xxxxxx; and (iii) certify and acknowledge that
all Project Costs included in the Notification actually have
been incurred (and not prepaid) by the Authority in
connection with the Project in accordance with all
applicable contractual conditions and requirements. d. The
Authority shall pay the balance of the total cost of the
Project with PFC Financing, the proceeds of Bonds and/or an
additional $1.0 million grant from the State of Virginia.
The total cost of the Regional Concourse is reasonably
estimated by the Authority at $21.7 million, and the
Authority has no knowledge, or reason to believe, that the
Regional Concourse cannot be completed for $21.7 million.
The Authority will not add changes to the Regional Concourse
that will materially increase costs without the consent of
the Airline. There exists no material claim or dispute
arising out of the Contract, any other material agreement
concerning the Regional Concourse or with respect to the
construction or completion of the Project.
e. The repayment of the Lender shall be the
Airline's obligation and responsibility subject only to the
terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. The Authority
may prepay the Bridge Loan Obligations in whole or in part
at any time, or from time to time, without penalty and will
repay to the Airline the entire then outstanding principal
amount of the Bridge Loan Obligations without right of set-
off, counterclaim or deduction on or before May 1, 2000,
utilizing PFC Financing, Xxxx proceeds, the amount deposited
in to escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement or other
funds. The Authority will be responsible only for the
repayment of the principal amount of the Bridge Loan
Obligations and shall not be obligated to pay to the Airline
or the Lender any interest thereon, or any expenses,
charges, costs or amounts with respect thereto or arising
out of the Bridge Loan, which shall remain the sole
obligation of the Airline.
f. Any amount paid to the Airline by, or on
behalf of, the Authority with respect to the Bridge Loan
Obligations shall be utilized by the Airline to repay its
principal obligation on the Bridge Loan to the Lender with
one business day of receipt from the Authority.
g. The Airline acknowledges that the Authority
has submitted a PFC Application to the FAA for PFC funding
of the Project and is using its reasonable best efforts to
cause the PFC Application to be approved. In the event any
PFC Financing which is obtained is inadequate to repay the
entire amount of the Bridge Loan Obligations which either
then or subsequently are outstanding, the Authority shall
remain obligated pursuant to the terms of this Amendment No.
14 and the Escrow Agreement for the balance of any Bridge
Loan Obligations. In the event the FAA has disapproved, or
failed to act on the PFC Application on or before the date
which is one year after the Substantial Completion Date of
the Regional Concourse, the Authority may repay the Bridge
Loan Obligations with the proceeds of Bonds. Provided,
however, in the event that the Authority has given
Notification to the Airline in accordance with paragraph
8.c. above and payment is not received by the Authority on
or before the 14th day after Notification, the Authority may
expend Bond funds on costs that were the subject of the
Notification.
9. Provisions of Airline Bridge Loan, Security, and
Defaulta. In furtherance of Amendment No. 8, paragraph 7.c.,
the Authority will deposit $15 million with an escrow agent
pursuant and subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement to
provide security to the Lender for the Bridge Loan
Obligations in the event of a default by the Airline under
the Bridge Loan or, in the event the Bridge Loan Obligations
are not otherwise repaid on or before May 1, 2000, to
provide for repayment of the Bridge Loan Obligations by the
Authority to the Airline, in each case as set forth in the
Escrow Agreement. The Lender shall only have such rights as
against the Authority as are expressly set forth in the
Escrow Agreement.
b. Nothing contained herein, in the Escrow
Agreement or otherwise shall preclude the Airline, the
Xxxxxx and the Authority from agreeing that the Authority
will pay the Bridge Loan Obligations directly to the Lender
and that acceptance thereof by the Lender and the
application of such payment by the Lender to the obligations
of the Airline with respect to the Bridge Loan shall
constitute full performance by the Authority and that no
additional amount to the Airline from the Authority will be
due and owing under this Amendment No. 14.
c. Any claim by the Lender against the Airline
or the Authority for any amount in excess of the amount
placed in escrow for any interest due on the Bridge Loan
Obligations, or for any penalty, damages, or fine, shall be
the responsibility of the Airline and not an obligation of
the Authority.
d. Upon the payment by the Authority of the
amount of the Airline's Bridge Loan as provided for herein
with the proceeds of Bonds or PFC Secured Funds, the
Authority shall adjust the Airline's rates and charges as
provided for under Article 8 of the Agreement and paragraph
10 of this Amendment 14 and the Airline shall pay the
adjusted amount due, if any, as provided for under the
Agreement.
e. In addition to its obligations under Article
12 of the Agreement, the Airline shall defend, indemnify,
and hold the Authority and its agents, officers, and
employees completely harmless from and against any and all
claims, suits, demands, actions, liabilities, losses,
damages, judgments, or fines arising from its Bridge Loan.
f. In furtherance of Section 19.14.1 of the Agreement,
this Amendment and any agreement for the Bridge Loan is
expressly subordinated and subject to the pledges, transfer,
hypothecation or assignment made by the Authority in any
prior Indenture or Indenture hereafter entered into to issue
Bonds.
g. The Airline shall not place any lien upon the
Project, or against any Premises Equipment or any rents or
fees due from the Airline to the Authority without the
express written consent of the Authority.
h. By the terms of an agreement among the
Authority, the Airline and the Lender the provisions hereof
may be modified.

design, finance, construct, operate and maintain the
Regional Concourse, as described under paragraph 3.a. above,
and those additional Authority costs allocated to the
Regional Concourse under the methodology of Article 8 of the
Agreement will be allocated to the Regional Concourse Sub-

Except as provided in paragraph 11 herein, all other
Authority costs to design, finance, construct, and maintain
the aircraft movement and parking areas serving the Regional
Concourse, as described under paragraph 3.b. above,
including the additional Authority costs allocated under the
methodology of Article 8 of the Agreement, will be included

the Aircraft Parking Position Charges as provided for in
Section 8.04. of the Agreement for the use of the aircraft
parking areas serving the Regional Concourse. Three
regional/commuter aircraft parking positions (Exhibit D-B-1,
Sheet 1) will be equivalent to one narrow-body air carrier

Aircraft Parking Position Charges associated with the
Regional Concourse.
c. Attachment A provides an estimate of rates
and charges for the Regional Concourse assuming
(i) expenditures of $5.7 million in Bonds by
the Authority, $1.0 million grant from the Commonwealth of
Virginia, and Airline Interim Financing of $15 million;
(ii) the same as (i) except that PFC secured
funds are used to repay the Airline for the Interim
Financing, or;
(iii) the same as (i) except that the
proceeds of Bonds are used to repay the Airline for the
Interim Financing.
Exhibit D-B-1A (IAD) will be revised to include the rental
due for the lease of the Premises constructed under the
Project effective on the Substantial Completion Date.
Attachment B presents an estimate of rentals and charges
that will be due for the additional Premises and the
Aircraft Parking Positions in the format of Exhibit D-B-1A
(IAD). The amortization period for any Bond financing shall
be the life of the Bonds as is provided for with other Bond
funded facilities and terminal projects under the
Authority's Capital Development Program.1. Hydrant
Fueling. The Authority will plan, finance, design, and
construct a hydrant fueling system ("the Fueling System") to
serve the aircraft parking apron of the Regional Concourse.
The costs of this addition to the Fueling System shall be
recovered by the Authority from the charges assessed to all
users of the Fueling System.
12. Maintenance. Maintenance responsibilities for the
Regional Concourse and associated Aircraft Parking Positions
by the Parties will be allocated as provided for under
Exhibit D-D of the Agreement.
13. Cancellation/Termination, Surrender of Premises.
a. Notwithstanding that a portion of the Project
is to be funded with PFC revenue, the Airline's right to
terminate its lease of Premises constructed under the
Project shall be to the same extent as its right to
terminate this Agreement No. 4-90-A040 while Bonds are
outstanding.
14. All terms and conditions of the Agreement,
including the provisions of Article 2 regarding termination
and Article 17 regarding reallocation of Premises and
accommodation of other Airlines, shall apply to the Regional
Concourse, except that the date for periodic reallocation of
Premises in the Regional Concourse shall be the second
anniversary of the Substantial Completion Date of the
Regional Concourse or the next date for reallocation of
Premises for the Airport in accordance with Section 17.02,
whichever is the later date. 15. Any Project cost
associated with environmental clean up of the Project site,
if any (e.g., remediation of contaminated soil), shall be
assigned to the Regional Concourse Sub-Center as a cost of
site preparation or to the Airfield Cost Center, or the
Aviation Cost Center as appropriate.
16. Mobile Lounge Service to the Regional Concourse
The Authority's responsibilities to provide
regular shuttle-type mobile lounge service as provided for
under Article 7.01.7 of the Agreement shall include such
service between the Main Terminal and the Regional Concourse

penalties assessed by the bank for failure of the
Authority to deposit sufficient funds into the
account to cover checks, shall belong to the
Authority and may be withdrawn by the Authority at
any time after it has been credited to the account
by the bank. Further, funds remaining in the
account after payment of Eligible Costs shall
belong to the Authority to the extent that the

costs.

responsibility of the Airline. The reason for any
