the same condition as the Concession Space would have been if such Concessionaire's

Concessionaire's Equipment by the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
CORPORATION may, at its option, keep and retain any such Concessionaire's
14

including without limitation the right to collect compensation as it becomes due together
with Past Due Interest; or
B. CORPORATION may cancel and terminate this Agreement and
repossess the Concession Space, with or without process of law, and without liability for

shall terminate, unless the default, which shall have been stated in such notice, shall
have been cured within such 30 days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Term

CORPORATION for all amounts owing at the time of termination, including but not limited
to compensation due plus interest thereon at the Past Due Interest Rate together with

therefrom.
19
C. CORPORATION may elect to reenter and take possession of the
Concession Space and expel CONCESSIONAIRE or any person claiming under

CORPORATION reserves the right to terminate the Agreement at any time after reentry.
Following reentry, the CORPORATION may relet the Concession Space, or any portion
thereof, for the account of Concessionaire, on such terms and conditions as
CORPORATION may choose, and may make such repairs or improvements as it deems
appropriate to accomplish the reletting. CORPORATION shall not be responsible for any
failure to relet or any failure to collect compensation due for such reletting.
CONCESSIONAIRE shall be liable to CORPORATION for all costs of reletting, including
attorney's fees and repairs or improvements. Notwithstanding re-entry by

CONCESSIONAIRE.
Article 9
DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION OR LOSS
Section 9.1 Damage to or Destruction of Concession Space. If the Concession
Space, or any portion thereof, is destroyed or damaged by fire or otherwise to an extent
which renders it unusable, CORPORATION may rebuild or repair any portions of the
building structure destroyed or damaged, and, if the cause was beyond the control of
CONCESSIONAIRE, the obligation of CONCESSIONAIRE to pay the compensation
hereunder shall abate as to such damaged or destroyed portions during the time they are
unusable. If CORPORATION elects not to proceed with the rebuilding or repair of the
building structure, it shall give notice of its intent within 90 days after the destruction or
damage. CONCESSIONAIRE may then, at its option, cancel and terminate this
Agreement.
20
Section 9.2 Cooperation in Event of Loss. If CORPORATION elects to rebuild,
CONCESSIONAIRE must replace all Concession Improvements at its sole cost.
CORPORATION and CONCESSIONAIRE shall cooperate with each other in the
collection of any insurance proceeds which may be payable in the event of any loss or
damage.
Section 9.3 Loss or Damage to Property. CORPORATION shall not be liable for
any loss of property by theft or burglary from the Airport or for any damage to person or
property on the Airport resulting from lightning, or water, rain or snow, which may come

or sprinklers thereof or that may be caused by the CORPORATION's employees or any
other cause, and CONCESSIONAIRE agrees to make no claim for any such loss or
damage at any time, except for any abatement of compensation or right to insurance
proceeds provided for in this Section.
Section 9.4 Mutual Waiver/Insurance Coverage. CORPORATION and
CONCESSIONAIRE each waive any and every claim for recovery from the other for any
and all loss of or damage to the Concession Space or to the contents thereof, which loss
or damage is covered by valid and collectible fire and extended insurance policies, to the
extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under such insurance policies. Since this
mutual waiver will preclude the assignment of any such claim by subrogation or
otherwise to an insurance company or any other person, CONCESSIONAIRE agrees to
give to each insurance company which has issued, or may issue, to the Concessionaire
policies of fire and extended coverage insurance, written notice of the terms of this
mutual waiver, and to have such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to
prevent the invalidation of the insurance coverage by reason of this waiver.

that from time to time during the Term of this Agreement, it may be necessary for
CORPORATION to commence or complete programs of construction, expansion,

provisions herein constitute the entire agreement and that all representations made by
any officer, agent or employee of the respective parties unless included herein are null
and void and of no effect. No alterations, amendments, changes or modifications, unless

and perform, and is under no prohibition against entering into and performing, this
Agreement and that entering into this Agreement and performing pursuant to the terms
thereof shall not constitute or cause a default or breach of any other contract, covenant
or duty.
Section 10.19 Most Favored Nation Provision. CORPORATION agrees it will not
charge a more favorable rental, fee or charge to any other ground transportation
concession executing a similar agreement with CORPORATION for comparable space,

use the existing TERMINAL BUILDING or other buildings or facilities located at
the Concession Space as it sees fit.
3. The fees provided for in this Agreement shall be subject to adjustment to
reflect the substitution of space for the TERMINAL BUILDING and facilities

adjustment shall be determined by a qualified real estate appraiser selected by
the mutual agreement of CORPORATION and CONCESSIONAIRE, with the
appraisal costs to be shared equally by them.
4. Except as modified by the substitution of facilities and the fee adjustment as
provided for herein, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without
change or modification until the expiration or termination of the license term.
B. If, in the opinion of CORPORATION, the Concession Space shall be
wholly or partially required for other operations of the Airport or if the use of the
Concession Space should be changed or abated by reason of other operations of the
Airport, then the following shall apply:

area at h

improvements, either by the relocation of the existing facilities and/or by the
construction of new facilities.
2. CONCESSIONAIRE agrees to accept such other area at the Airport

area at its expense.
3. CORPORATION shall schedule the preparation of such substituted
area and shall effect such substitution and relocation of the CONCESSIONAIRE's
operations in such manner as shall not result in the unreasonable interruption of
the conduct of CONCESSIONAIRE's operations
