charges will be calculated under the methodology set forth in this Article 6 are attached
as Exhibit A through Exhibit J. 
6.1.2  Airline Consultations on Proposed Rates and Charges. No later than
November 1 of each year, the Managing Director shall provide each Airline then
currently operating scheduled passenger or cargo service at the Airport with a complete
copy of the then proposed rates and charges, calculated in accordance with this Article 6,
for the succeeding Fiscal Year. The Managing Director shall consult with the AAAC
concerning the then proposed rates and charges. No later than December 1 of each year,
the Managing Director shall make any revisions to the proposed rates and charges as the
Managing Director determines, in his or her sole discretion, to be warranted as a result of
consultation with the AAAC or otherwise, and shall provide written notice to each
Airline then currently operating scheduled passenger or cargo service at the Airport of the
new rates and charges to be effective on January 1 of the following calendar year. A
copy of the notice shall be posted on the Port's website. 
6.2    Calculation of the Landing Fee. Each year the Port shall calculate the estimated
Landing Fee for the next Fiscal Year as follows: 
6.2.1  The Airfield Movement Area Requirement shall be computed as the total
of budgeted Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to the Airfield Movement Area,
less Other Airfield Movement Area Revenue, for the following Fiscal Year.
6.2.2  The estimated Landing Fee shall then be calculated by dividing the
Airfield Movement Area Requirement by the estimated total Maximum Gross Landed
Weight ("MGLW") for the following Fiscal Year. The Port may use historical MGLW
or forecasts of MGLW that reflect reasonable management judgment in calculating the
estimated Landing Fee. 
6.2.3  Each Airline shall pay to the Port Landing Fees for its use of the Airfield
Movement Area calculated for each calendar month by multiplying the Landing Fee by
the Airline's total Landed Weight for the preceding month. 
6.3    Calculation of Terminal Rents. Each year the Port shall calculate estimated
Terminal Rents for the next Fiscal Year as follows: 
6.3.1  The Terminal Building Requirement shall be computed as the total of the
budgeted Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to the Terminal for the following
Fiscal Year. The Terminal Building Requirement shall not include Common Use
Baggage System Costs, Passenger Loading Bridge Costs, Airline Support System and
Equipment Costs or Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocated to the FIS Facility. 

9

6.3.2  The estimated Terminal Rental Rate shall then be calculated by dividing
the Terminal Building Requirement by the estimated total amount of Rentable Space.
The Port may use the actual amount of Rentable Space in the immediately preceding
Fiscal Year in calculating the estimated Terminal Rental Rate. 
6.3.4  Each Airline occupying Exclusive Use Space shall pay to the Port
Terminal Rent for its use of such space calculated for each calendar month by
multiplying the square footage of such space by the estimated Terminal Rental
Rate. 
6.4    Calculation of the FIS Rate. Each year the Port shall calculate the estimated FIS
Rate for the next Fiscal Year as follows: 
6.4.1  The estimated FIS Requirement shall be computed as the sum of (a) the
total of the budgeted Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to the FIS Facility; and
(b) the total of the budgeted Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to the Common
Use Baggage Claim Area serving the FIS Facility; less (c) any estimated revenue from
the rental of space in the FIS Facility to governmental agencies, for the following Fiscal
Year. 
6.4.2  The estimated FIS Rate shall then be calculated by dividing the FIS
Requirement by the estimated total number of Deplaned International Passengers for the
following Fiscal Year. The Port may use the actual number of Deplaned International
Passengers in the immediately preceding Fiscal Year or forecasts that reflect reasonable
management judgment in calculating the estimated FIS Rate. 
6.4.3  Each Airline using the FIS shall pay to the Port FIS Fees for its use of the
FIS Facility calculated for each calendar month by multiplying the FIS Fee by the
Airline's total Deplaned International Passengers for the preceding month. 
6.5    Calculation of Common Use Gate Turn Fees. Each year the Port shall calculate
the estimated Common Use Gate Turn Fees for the next Fiscal Year as follows: 
6.5.1  The estimated Common Use Gate Requirement shall be computed as the
sum of (a) the product of the estimated Terminal Rental Rate times the total square
footage of all Common Use Gates; (b) the product of the estimated Terminal Rental Rate
times the total square footage of the Security Checkpoint Area; (c) the total of the Capital
Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to Airline Support Systems and Equipment other
than Baggage Systems and Passenger Loading Bridges; and (d) the O&M Expenses
allocable to airline realignment projects, for the next Fiscal Year. 
6.5.2  The Port shall then calculate three separate Common Use Gate Turn Fees
for use of Common Use Gates by the three different classes of aircraft shown in the table
below. 


10

Class 1: Wide Body (dual-aisle aircraft) 
Class 2: Narrow Body (single-aisle aircraft, over 100 seats) 
Class 3: Regional and Commuter (aircraft with 100 or fewer seats) 
The charges for use of Common Use Gates by aircraft within each of these classes shall
bear the following relativities to each other: 
Relative Charge per Turn 
Class 1:     2.00x 
Class 2:     1.00x 
Class 3:      .50x 
For rate-setting purposes, the charges per Turn for each of these three classes of aircraft
will be calculated (normalized) so that expected aggregate Common Use Gates Turn Fees
equal the Common Use Gate Requirement.
6.5.3  Each Airline using any Common Use Gates shall pay to the Port Common
Use Gate Turn Fees for its use of Common Use Gates calculated for each calendar month
by multiplying the applicable Common Use Gate Turn Fee by the number of the Airline's
Turns in each designated aircraft class at the Terminal for the preceding month. 
6.5.4  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.5.3, an Airline shall not be
charged Common Use Gate Turn Fees for the use of any given Common Use Gate on any
given day that exceed the daily Gate Turn Fee Cap. The daily Gate Turn Fee Cap shall
equal eight (8) times the Common Use Gate Turn fee for a Narrow Body aircraft. 
6.6    Calculation of Common Use Baggage Claim Rate. Each year the Port shall
calculate the estimated Common Use Baggage Claim Rate for the next Fiscal Year as follows: 
6.6.1  The estimated Common Use Baggage Claim System Requirement shall be
computed as the sum of (a) the product of the estimated Terminal Rental Rate times the
total square footage of the Common Use Baggage Claim Area; and (b) the Capital Costs
and O&M Expenses allocable to the Common Use Baggage Claim System (excluding the
Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to the Common Use Baggage Claim System
serving the FIS Facility). 
6.6.2  The estimated Common Use Baggage Claim Rate shall then be calculated
by dividing the Common Use Baggage Claim System Requirement by the estimated total
annual number of Inbound Checked Bags. The Port may use the actual number of
Inbound Checked Bags in the most recent year for which Inbound Checked Bags data are 
available or forecasts that reflect reasonable management judgment in calculating the
estimated Common Use Baggage Claim Rate. 
6.6.3  Each Airline shall pay to the Port Common Use Baggage Claim Fees for
its use of the Common Use Baggage Claim Area calculated for each calendar month by

11

multiplying the Common Use Baggage Claim Rate by the Airline's total Inbound
Checked Bags for the preceding month. 
6.7    Calculation of Common Use Baggage Makeup Rate. Each year the Port shall
calculate the estimated Common Use Baggage Makeup Rate for the next Fiscal Year as follows: 
6.7.1  The estimated Common Use Baggage Makeup System Requirement shall
be computed as the sum of (a) the product of the estimated Terminal Rental Rate times
the total square footage of the Common Use Baggage Makeup Area; and (b) the Capital
Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to the Common Use Baggage Makeup System. 
6.7.2  The estimated Common Use Baggage Makeup Rate shall then be
calculated by dividing the Common Use Baggage Makeup System Requirement by the
estimated total annual number Outbound Checked Bags. The Port may use the act ual
number of Outbound Checked Bags in the most recent year for which Inbound Checked
Bags data are available or forecasts that reflect reasonable management judgment in
calculating the estimated Common Use Baggage Makeup Rate. 
6.7.3  Each Airline shall pay to the Port Common Use Baggage Makeup Fees for
its use of the Common Use Baggage Makeup Area calculated for each calendar month by
multiplying the Common Use Baggage Makeup Rate by the Airline's total Outbound
Checked Bags for the preceding month. 
6.8    Calculation of Common Use Ticket Counter Rate. Each year the Port shall
calculate the estimated Common Use Ticket Counter Rate for the next Fiscal Year as follows: 
6.8.1  The estimated Common Use Ticket Counter Requirement shall be
computed as the product of the estimated Terminal Rental Rate times the total square
footage of all of the Common Use Ticket Counter Space. 
6.8.2  The estimated Common Use Ticket Counter Rate shall then be calculated
by dividing the Common Use Ticket Counter Requirement by the estimated total annual
number of hours of use of Common Use Ticket Counters. The Port may use the actual
number of hours of use of Common Use Ticket Counters in the immediately preceding
Fiscal Year or forecasts that reflect reasonable management judgment in calculating the
estimated Common Use Ticket Counter Rate. 
6.8.3  Each Airline shall pay to the Port Common Use Ticket Counter Fees for
its use of the Common Use Ticket Counters calculated for each calendar month by
multiplying the Common Use Ticket Counter Rate by the Airline's total hours of use of
Common Use Ticket Counters for the preceding month. 
6.9    Calculation of Passenger Loading Bridge Rate.
6.9.1  Each year the Port shall calculate the estimated Passenger Loading Bridge
Rate for the next Fiscal Year by dividing the sum of the budgeted Capital Costs and
O&M Expenses allocable to Passenger Loading Bridges by the estimated total number of

12

Turns on Gates with Port-owned Passenger Loading Bridges. The Port may use the actual
number of Turns on such Gates in the immediately preceding Fiscal Year or forecasts that
reflect reasonable management judgment in calculating the estimated Passenger Loading
Bridge Rate. 
6.9.2  Each Airline shall pay to the Port Passenger Loading Bridge Fees for its
use of Passenger Loading Bridges calculated for each calendar month by multiplying the
Passenger Loading Bridge Rate by the Airline's total number of Turns on Gates with
Port-owned Passenger Loading Bridges. 
6.10   Calculation of the Ramp Tower Fee. 
6.10.1 Each year the Port shall calculate the estimated Ramp Tower Fee for the
next Fiscal Year by dividing the budgeted O&M Expenses allocable to the Ramp Tower
by the estimated total number of Landings for the following Fiscal Year. The Port may
use actual historical Landings or forecasts that reflect reasonable management judgment 
in calculating the estimated Ramp Tower Fee. 
6.10.2 Each Airline shall pay to the Port Ramp Tower Fees for the services of the
Ramp Tower calculated for each calendar month by multiplying the Ramp Tower Fee by
the Airline's total Landings for the preceding month. 
6.11   Calculation of the Apron Fee. Each year the Port shall calculate the estimated
Apron Fee for the next Fiscal Year as follows: 
6.11.1 The Airfield Apron Area Requirement shall be computed as the total
Capital Costs and O&M Expenses allocable to the Airfield Apron Area, less Ramp Tower
Revenues and RON Parking Revenues. 
6.11.2 The estimated Apron Fee shall then be calculated by dividing the Airfield
Apron Area Requirement by the estimated total MGLW for Passenger Carriers for the
following Fiscal Year. The Port may use historical MGLW or forecasts of MGLW that
reflect reasonable management judgment in calculating the estimated Apron Fee. 
6.11.3 Each Passenger Carrier shall pay to the Port Apron Fees for its use of the
Airfield Apron Area calculated for each calendar month by multiplying the Apron Fee by
the Airline's total Landed Weight for the preceding month.
6.12   Mid-year Adjustments. If it appears to the Port on the basis of information it is
able to accumulate during the course of any Fiscal Year that the budgeted Capital Costs or O&M
Expenses or projected levels of Airline activity it has used to calculate the rates and charges set
forth in Section 6 are likely to vary significantly (higher or lower) from actual results, the Port
may make adjustments to such rates and charges at mid-year or at such other time during the
calendar year (a) as the need for such an adjustment becomes apparent to the Port or (b) the
variance between the budgeted Capital Costs or O&M Expenses or projected levels of Airline
activity and actual results is expected to be ten percent (10%) or more. The Port shall provide
the AAAC with at least thirty (30) days advance written notice ("Mid-Year Adjustment Notice")

13

owed by Airline that are not paid when due shall be subject to a service charge equal to the lesser
of, the rate of one and one-half percent (1 %) per month or the maximum rate permitted by
law. The Port's acceptance of any payment from an Airline shall not constitute a waiver of
Airline's default on the overdue amount or prevent the Port from exercising any of its rights and
remedies.

in interest, an Airline, by its use of or operations at the Airport, understands and acknowledges
that the Port and its officers, employees and agents, shall not be liable for any injury (including
death) to any persons or for damage to any property regardless of how such injury or damage
may be caused, sustained or alleged to have been sustained by the Airline or by others, including
but not limited to all persons directly or indirectly employed by the Airline, or any agents,
contractors, subcontractors, licensees and invitees of the Airline, as a result of any condition
(including existing or future defects in the Airport) or occurrence (including failure or
interruption of utility service) whatsoever related in any way to the Airline's use or occupancy of
the Airport space and of areas adjacent thereto. An Airline must defend (with counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Port) and hold and save the Port harmless from all liability and
expenses (including attorney's fees, costs, and all expenses of litigation) in connection with any
such actual or alleged injury or damage, except where, and to the extent, caused by the
negligence or intentional wrongdoing of the Port, its agents, employees, contractors, officers,
directors or predecessors in interest. Any final judgment rendered against the Port for any cause
for which an Airline is liable hereunder shall be conclusive against the Airline as to liability and
amount upon the expiration of the time for appeal therefrom.

13.2   Industrial Insurance Laws. An Airline shall comply with the statutory 
requirements of Chapter 51 of the Revised Code of Washington ("RCW") regarding workers

13.3   Liability Insurance. By using space and conducting operations at the Airport,
Airline acknowledges and agrees that, as a condition of such use, it shall provide, pay for and
maintain with companies, reasonably satisfactory to Port the following forms of insurance: 
13.3.1 Aircraft liability insurance on each aircraft, including all owned, nonowned
and hired aircraft, and commercial general liability insurance covering bodily
injury, personal injury, property damage, product/completed operations, premises liability
and contractual liability. Insurance liability limits shall not be less than $500 million per
occurrence for each aircraft and not less than $10 million per occurrence for commercial
general liability insurance. Insurance shall be placed with companies reasonably
satisfactory to the Port in terms of financial strength, rating and solvency. The Port shall
be named as an additional insured (using ISO Form 20 26 11 85 or equivalent
endorsement acceptable to the Port), and shall be furnished with appropriate written
evidence to establish that Airline's insurance obligations as required by this Article have
been and continue to be met, and that the insurance coverage required by this Article is
not subject to cancellation, nonrenewal or material reduction in coverage without at least
thirty (30) days' advance written notice to the Port.
13.3.2 Automobile liability insurance. Commercial automobile liability
insurance covering all owned, non-owned and hired automobiles, trucks and trailers in
the minimum single limit of $5 million for operations outside the Airfield Area and $10
million for operations inside the Airfield Area and hereafter in such increased amounts or
on such revised terms and conditions as the Port may from time to time specify. The
policy shall specifically be endorsed to cover all "mobile equipment" utilized by the
Airline at the Airport. The Port shall be named as an additional insured using an
appropriate policy form or endorsement, and shall be furnished with appropriate written
evidence to establish that Airline's insurance obligations as required by this Resolution
have been and continue to be met, and that the required insurance coverage is not subject
to cancellation, nonrenewal or material reduction in coverage without at least thirty (30)
days' advance written notice to the Port.
13.3.3 The inclusion of the Port as an additional insured shall not create any
premium liability for the Port. The liability insurance required by this Resolution shall
not contain a deductible or self-insured retention in excess of $10,000 without the prior
written approval of the Port. All deductibles and self-insured retentions shall be paid by,
assumed by, for the account of, and at Airline's sole risk. To the extent that Airline relies
on excess or "umbrella" policy of insurance to satisfy the requirements of this Resolution,
any such policy shall be no less broad than the underlying policy, shall have the same
inception and expiration dates as the underlying policy, and shall include a drop-down
provision. 
13.4   Other Forms of Insurance. An Airline shall also obtain all other forms of
insurance required for its particular use of the Airport or as required by law.

19

13.5   Additional Insurance. In the event of cancellation of any required insurance at
any time during an Airline's operations at the Airport, or any change not reasonably acceptable
to the Port, including an erosion in available limits below those specified in this Resolution, the
Port reserves the right to provide additional insurance and charge the cost of any premiums for
such coverage to the Airline. The Port's right includes, but is not limited to, the Port purchasing
higher limits for its own insurance program to account for an erosion in limits by an Airline. 
13.6   No Representation of Adequacy. The Port makes no representation that limits or
forms of insurance coverage specified or required under this Resolution are adequate to cover an
Airline's property or an Airline's liabilities or obligations under this Resolution. 
13.7 Port's Right to Request Information from Insurance Company. If at any time the
Port requests a written statement from the insurance company as to any impairments to the
aggregate limit, an Airline shall promptly authorize and have delivered such statement to the
Port. An Airline authorizes the Port and its insurance consultant to confirm with the Airline's
insurance agents, brokers and insurance companies all information furnished the Port, as to the
Airline's compliance with the Port's insurance requirements. 
13.8   Primary Coverage. All insurance policies required under this Resolution shall be
endorsed to state that the Airline's policy is primary and not contributory with any insurance
carried by the Port. 
13.9   Waiver of Subrogation. Each Airline (for itself and on behalf of anyone claiming
through or under it by way of subrogation or otherwise) by conducting operations at the Airport
agrees to release the Port from liability and waive all right of recovery against the Port for any
loss to real or personal property located anywhere on or about the Airport from perils which can
be insured against under a standard form commercial property or fire insurance policy
(specifically including hull insurance or the like) with extended perils coverage endorsements
generally available in Washington at the time the loss occurs. The effect of the release and
waiver of the right to recover damages shall not be limited by whether Airline has actually
obtained such insurance, by the amount of insurance carried, or by any deductibles applicable
thereto. If an Airline's applicable insurance policies do not allow it to waive the insurer's rights
to recovery, Airline shall cause each insurance policy to be endorsed to allow the waiver of
subrogation required by this Resolution. 
13.10  Increase in Cost of Insurance. An Airline shall not use its assigned space at the
Airport in any manner not contemplated by this Resolution so as to increase the existing rates of
insurance. If it nevertheless does so, then, at the option of the Port, the full amount of any
resulting increase in premiums paid by the Port with respect to the buildings or structures in
which the Airline occupies space, shall be paid by the Airline to the Port. 
Article 14.   Discrimination 
14.1   Federal Nondiscrimination Regulations. Each Airline must comply with the
requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 49 CFR Part 21 that with respect to its
operations at the Airport: (a) 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

20

the use of said facilities; (b) in the construction of any improvements on, over, or under such land
and the furnishings of services thereon, no person on the grounds of race, color, or national origin

1964, and as that regulation may be amended. Each Airline shall promptly provide the Port, upon
written request by the Port, such information the Port is required to obtain from the Airline to show
compliance with applicable nondiscrimination laws. 
14.2   Affirmative Action. Each Airline by conducting operations at the Airport assures 
that it will undertake an affirmative action program if required by 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E, to
ensure that no person shall on the grounds of race, creed, color, national origin, or sex be
excluded from participating in any employment activities covered in 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart
E. Each Airline further assures that no person shall be excluded on these grounds from
participating in or receiving the services or benefits of any program or activity covered by this
subpart. Each Airline further assures that it will require that its covered sub organizations
provide assurances to Airline that they will require assurances from their sub organizations, if
required by 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E, to the same effect. 
Article 15.   Security Deposit 
15.1   Each Airline shall obtain and deliver to the Port at the address designated by the
Director, a Security Deposit to guarantee timely payment by the Airline of all rates, charges and
rents now or in the future payable as provided under this Resolution, including fees for services

equivalent to three (3) months of estimated charges for such Airline's use of the Airport
including all of the charges set forth in Article 6 of this Resolution. The Port may adjust the
amount of the required Security Deposit as an Airline's operations and use of Airport space
decreases or increases. The amount, form, provisions and nature of the Security Deposit,
including if appropriate the identity of the surety or other obligor thereunder, shall at all times be

Port and shall remain in place at all times so long as the Airline uses space at the Airport. The
Port shall not pay interest on the Security Deposit, and the Port shall not be required to keep the
Security Deposit separate from its other accounts. No trust relationship is created with respect to
the Security Deposit. If an Airline ceases operations at the Airport and is not in default of any of
its obligations as provided in this Resolution or the Rules and Regulations, then any cash deposit
shall be paid to the Airline, without interest, within thirty (30) days after the Airline ceases
operations at the Airport; otherwise the Port shall, in addition to any and all other rights and
remedies available under this Resolution or at law or equity, retain the Security Deposit. The
Port may apply all or part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid sum due pursuant to this
Resolution. If the Port depletes the Security Deposit in this way, the Airline shall restore the
Security Deposit within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Port's written request to do so.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Port depletes the Security Deposit and an unpaid

21

sum remains due under this Resolution, the Port shall have the right to recover the total of such
unpaid sum through the rates and charges mechanism set forth in this Resolution; provided, 
however, this shall not release nor in any way affect the liability of the Airline for such unpaid

ordinance, permit or order (including without limitation any final order of any court of
competent jurisdiction), now or hereafter in effect. 
"Hazardous Substances" means any substance or material defined or designated as a
hazardous waste, toxic substance, or other pollutant or contaminant by any Environmental Law.

or Release on the Airport of any Hazardous Substance that is in violation of any Environmental
Law. Airline shall not allow any Hazardous Substances to migrate off the Airport or allow the
Release of any Hazardous Substances into adjacent surface waters, soils, underground waters or
air in violation of any Environmental Law. At the reasonable written request of the Port, an 
Airline shall provide the Port with Airline's USEPA Waste Generator Number. Each Airline
shall immediately notify the Port in writing should the Airline become aware of: (1) any Release
of any Hazardous Substances or the occurrence of any other environmental problem or liability
with respect to the Airport or any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the Airport; (2) any
notice given to the Airline from any third party with respect to any Release or threat of Release
of any Hazardous Substances; or (3) the commencement of any litigation or any information
relating to any threat of litigation relating to any alleged unauthorized Release of any Hazardous
Substances or other environmental contamination, liability or problem with respect to the
Airport. In addition to any remedy provided in this Resolution, the Port shall be entitled to full
reimbursement from an Airline whenever the Port incurs any reasonable costs directly

including but not limited to, costs of clean-up or other remedial activities, fines or penalties
assessed directly against the Port, and injuries to third persons or other properties. 
16.3   Compliance and Remediation. Each Airline shall at all times conduct its
operations at the Airport in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and if the
Airline or any Airport space assigned to the Airline is in violation of any Environmental Law
concerning the presence, use, Release or threat of Release of Hazardous Substances or any other
Environmental Law (whether or not pertaining to Hazardous Substances), Airline shall promptly
take such action as is reasonably necessary to remedy and cure the violation. 

22

16.4   Port Remedies. If an Airline, or any Airport space assigned to an Airline, because
of actions that occur during the Airline's use, is in violation of any Environmental Law
concerning Hazardous Substances and the Airline does not act promptly to take such action as is
reasonably necessary to remedy and cure the violation, the Port has the right, but not the
obligation, to come onto the Airport space occupied by the Airline, to act in place of the Airline
(the Airline hereby appoints the Port as its agent for such purposes) and to take such action
reasonably necessary to cure the violation. If the Port has a reasonable belief that an Airline's
actions or inactions present a threat of violation or a threat of damage to its assigned Airport
space, the Port reserves the right to enter onto the Airline's assigned space and take such
corrective or mitigating action as the Port deems reasonably necessary. All reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by the Port in connection with any such actions shall become due and payable
by the Airline thirty (30) days after presentation of an invoice to the extent caused by the
Airline's violation of Environmental Law. 
16.5   Environmental Inspection. The Port will give an Airline forty eight (48) hour
advance notice to conduct an annual environmental inspection of Airport space assigned to the
Airline. The Port shall conduct the inspection in a manner that does not unduly interfere with the

any reasonable time upon reasonable notice for the purpose of conducting environmental testing.
Prior to conducting environmental testing, the Port shall provide written notice to the Airline
concerning the planned testing procedures and locations. The results of such testing shall be
provided to the Airline as well. In the event of an emergency, the Port shall have access, without
prior notice, to an Airline's assigned space for any necessary environmental response activities,
including environmental testing needed in response to the emergency. 
16.6 End of Airline's Use of Airport Space. Prior to ending its use of Airport space, an
Airline shall remove any Hazardous Substances placed on the Airport space by the Airline, or as
a result of the Airline's use of the Airport space and shall demonstrate such removal to the Port's
reasonable satisfaction. This reasonable removal and demonstration shall be a condition
precedent to the Port's return of any portion of the Security Deposit to an Airline in the event the
Airline ceases to operate at the Airport, provided the Airline is otherwise entitled to such under
the provisions of this Resolution. 
16.7   Environmental Indemnity. Without limiting any indemnities provided in this
Resolution for other than environmental matters, and except for Excluded Environmental
Claims, as defined below, each Airline by conducting operations at the Airport agrees that it
shall defend, indemnify and hold the Port free and harmless from any and all claims, causes of
action, regulatory demands, liabilities, fines, penalties, losses, and expenses, including without
limitation clean-up or other remedial costs (and including actually incurred reasonable attorneys'
fees, costs and all other reasonable litigation expenses when incurred and whether incurred in
defense of actual litigation or in reasonable anticipation of litigation), arising from the existence
or discovery of any Hazardous Substance on the Airport space assigned to the Airline or at the
Airport, or the Release of any Hazardous Substance from space assigned to the Airline to other
properties or into the surrounding environment or from any other violation of Environmental
Law, directly attributable to the Airline's actions during the Airline's use of Airport space. For
purposes of this Resolution, "Excluded Environmental Claims" shall mean, any claims, causes of

23

action, demands, liabilities, fines, penalties, costs, expenses or any other liabilities, to the extent
caused by or arising from (A) the migration of Hazardous Substances not first Released during
an Airline's use of Airport space; and (B) the movement of Hazardous Substances first Released
outside an Airline's assigned space onto or under an Airline's assigned space due to leaching or
the flow of groundwater, provided that the Airline is not otherwise responsible for the Release
outside the Airline's assigned space that introduced the migrating Hazardous Substances into the
environment. 
Article 17.   Miscellaneous Provisions 
17.1   SEC Rule 15c2-12. An Airline, upon request by the Port, shall provide the Port
with such information as the Port may reasonably request in writing to comply with the Port's

available. 
17.2   Taxes. By using the Airport, an Airline recognizes and understands that the 
Airline's use of Airport space may create a possessory interest subject to property taxation,
including state leasehold tax, and that the Airline may be subject to the payment of property
taxes levied on such interest. An Airline shall be liable for, and shall pay all taxes payable for, or
on account of, the activities conducted by the Airline on the Airport and all taxes on the personal
property of the Airline on the Airport and any taxes on the Airline's assigned space and any
taxes levied in lieu of a tax and any taxes levied on, or measured by, the Terminal Rents and
other charges payable under this Resolution, whether imposed on the Airline or on the Port. An
Airline shall reimburse the Port for all such taxes paid or payable by the Port. With respect to
any such taxes payable by the Port that are levied on, or measured by, the Terminal Rents or
other charges payable under this Resolution, an Airline shall pay to the Port with each payment
an amount equal to the tax levied on, or measured by, that particular payment. All other tax
amounts for which the Port is or will be entitled to reimbursement from an Airline shall be
payable by the Airline to the Port at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due dates of the respective
tax amounts involved, provided that the Airline shall be entitled to a minimum of ten (10) days
written notice of the amounts payable by it. 
17.3   Liens and Encumbrances. By its use of Airport space, an Airline agrees that it
shall keep all Airport space assigned to it free and clear of any liens and encumbrances arising or
growing out of the Airline's use of Airport space or activities at the Airport. An Airline must 
fully indemnify and defend the Port in connection with any such liens filed against the Airport.
At the Port's request, an Airline shall furnish the Port with written proof of payment of any item
that would or might constitute the basis for such a lien on the Airport if not paid. 
17.4   Notices. All notices required under this Resolution may be delivered or mailed.
If delivered by messenger or courier (including overnight air courier), they shall be deemed
delivered when received by the addressee at the last provided delivery address. If mailed, they

designate in writing. All notices and payments mailed by regular post (including first class) shall
be deemed to have been given on the second business day following the date of mailing, if

be deemed to have been given on the third business day following the date of mailing, if properly
mailed and addressed. For all types of mail, the postmark affixed by the United States Postal 
Service shall be conclusive evidence of the date of mailing. 
17.5   Labor Disputes. An Airline must use reasonable efforts to avoid disruption to the
Port, its tenants or members of the public, arising from labor disputes involving the Airline, and
in the event of a strike, picketing, demonstration or other labor difficulty involving the Airline, to
use its good offices, including the utilization of available legal remedies, to minimize or
eliminate any disruption to the Port, its tenants or members of the public, arising from such
strike, picketing, demonstration or other labor difficulty.
