WHEREAS, the Port's Internal Audit department conducted an audit of PSD's

2.      Waiver of Late Charges, Interest and Audit Costs. Acknowledging the
issues identified in the Audit related to the Port's management and controls over the
Agreement, the problems in developing reliable data related to "Gross Receipts" over the
term of the Agreement, and PSD's cooperation in responding to the issue of underpayment
once it was identified, the Port agrees that it will waive late charges and
interest, which would otherwise be payable under Paragraph 7.D of the Agreement, as
well as audit costs, which would otherwise be payable under Paragraph 8.B of the
Agreement. 
3.      Payment. The Underpayment shall be paid, in full, no later than January 
31, 2016. In the event that PSD fails to pay the Underpayment in full by the due date, the
Port intends to apply the Security provided under Paragraph 11 of the Agreement to
satisfy the Underpayment. Nothing in this Settlement Agreement shall affect PSD's
rights with respect to the Underpayment under Paragraph 7.E of the Agreement. 
4.      Compromise and Settlement. It is expressly understood and agreed by the
parties that this Settlement Agreement represents a compromise and shall not be
construed as an admission of liability by either party. Subject to PSD's performance of
the terms of this Settlement Agreement, the Port fully and finally releases any claim, or
right to claim, related to any underpayment of the Minimum Annual Guarantee and/or
Percentage Fee due under the Agreement for the period from November 1, 2010 through
October 31, 2015. 
5.      No Effect on Period After October 31, 2015. This Settlement Agreement
shall not affect or otherwise relate to any period after October 31, 2015. Except as the
Agreement may otherwise be amended, PSD shall be responsible to report its Gross
Receipts and remit the Percentage Fee due as provided in Paragraph 7 of the Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Port agrees to work with PSD to reasonably
determine an average fare from each outbound trip from the Airport as well as the
reconciled number of outbound trips from the Airport to determine the total Gross
Receipts and Percentage Fee for such period. 
6.      Approval  by  Commission.  PSD  acknowledges  that  the  terms  of  this
Settlement Agreement are specifically subject to the approval of the Port Commission.
Port staff will present these settlement terms to the Port Commission and will
recommend approval of the settlement on those terms.
