the Federal Aviation Administration may direct as a means of enforcing such
provisions including sanctions for noncompliance. Provided, that if the
Concessionaire becomes involved in, or is threatened with litigation by a
subcontractor, or supplier because of such direction, the Concessionaire may
request the Sponsor to enter into any litigation to protect the interests of the
Sponsor. In addition, the Concessionaire may request the United States to
enter into the litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
D. The Concessionaire for himself/herself, his/her heirs, personal representatives,
successors in interest, and assigns, as a part of the consideration hereof, does
hereby covenant and agree (in the case of deeds and leases add, “as a covenant
running with the land”) that (1) no person on the ground of race, color, or national

otherwise subjected to discrimination in the use of said facilities, (2) that in the
construction of any improvements on, over, or under such land, and the furnishing
of services thereon, no person on the ground of race, color, or national origin, will
be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or otherwise be

compliance with all other requirements imposed by or pursuant to the Title VI

second month of the Term and each succeeding month during each Contract Year.”
Section 6.
Article V of the Agreement entitled “Fees and Rentals” is hereby amended by adding the following
new Section 512:
“SECTION 512. MINIMUM ANNUAL GUARANTEE ABATEMENT. Notwithstanding the
foregoing requirements of Sections 501, 502, 503, and 504 hereof, the obligation of the
Concessionaire to pay the MAG Payment due for a calendar month, but not the obligation of
Concessionaire to pay the Percentage Fee Payment as required by Section 502, will be abated to
the extent provided herein upon a decline in the Airport’s enplaned passengers:
a. Should the number of passengers enplaning on scheduled airline flights within the Airport
during any given calendar month decline by thirty percent (30%) or more from the same
calendar month of 2017 (an “Abatement Triggering Event”), the obligation of the
Concessionaire to pay 1/12 of the MAG for that calendar month only shall be abated in the
following five percent (5%) increments to reflect the decline in passenger enplanements:
1) A decline in enplanements of at least thirty percent (30%) but less than thirty five
percent (35%) will cause an abatement of 30% of that month’s MAG obligation;
2) A decline in enplanements of at least thirty five percent (35%) but less than forty
percent (40%) will cause an abatement of 35% of that month’s MAG obligation;
2
Page 51 of 65
3) A decline in enplanements of at least forty percent (40%) but less than forty five percent
(45%) will cause an abatement of 40% of that month’s MAG obligation;
4) A decline in enplanements of at least forty five percent (45%) but less than fifty percent
(50%) will cause an abatement of 45% of that month’s MAG obligation; and
5) A decline in enplanements of at least fifty percent (50%) will cause an abatement of
50% of that month’s MAG obligation. It being understood that in no event will the
month’s MAG obligation be abated by more than 50%.
An example of the Abatement of Minimum Annual Guarantee outlined in this Section 512,
wherein the Airport enplaned the following passengers, and the total MAG Payment due from the
Concessionaire is $375,000:
May 2017 100,000 passengers
May 2023 70,000 passengers
For May 2023, the Concessionaire will be obligated to pay the greater of the reduced monthly
MAG Payment of $21,875 (the monthly MAG of $31,250 reduced by 30% in response to the
decline in enplanements) or the Percentage Fee Payment, which is due on July 20, 2023.
b. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall the monthly MAG payment
due be reduced by any amount greater than fifty percent (50%).
An example of the Abatement of Minimum Annual Guarantee outlined in this Section 512,
wherein the Airport enplaned forty-three percent (43%) fewer passengers than in the same calendar
month of 2017, and the total MAG Payment due from the Concessionaire is $375,000:
May 2017 100,000 passengers
May 2023 57,000 passengers
For May 2023, the Concessionaire will be obligated to pay the greater of the reduced monthly
MAG Payment of $18,750 (the monthly MAG Payment of $31,250 reduced by 40% in response
to the decline in enplanements and the Percentage Fee Payment, which is due on July 20, 2023.
An example of the Abatement of Minimum Annual Guarantee outlined in this Section 512,
wherein the Airport enplaned 60% fewer passengers than the same calendar month of 2017, and
the total MAG Payment due from the Concessionaire is $375,000:
May 2017 100,000 passengers
May 2023 40,000 passengers
For May 2023, the Concessionaire will be obligated to pay the greater of the reduced monthly
MAG Payment of $15,625 (the monthly MAG of $31,250 reduced by the maximum 50%) and the
Percentage Fee Payment, which is due on July 20, 2023.

Page 52 of 65
c. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall the monthly MAG payment
due be reduced by any amount greater than fifty percent (50%).
d. Concessionaire acknowledges, stipulates and agrees that nothing in an Abatement
Triggering Event will be construed to relieve the obligation of the Concessionaire to pay
the greater of the MAG Payment or the Percentage Fee Payment, which will be due on the
20th day of the second succeeding month and each month thereafter.”
Section 7.
Section 617 of the Agreement, entitled “Merchandise Limitations” is hereby amended to remove
“Duty Free Items” from the list of prohibited items.
Section 8.
Section 703 of the Agreement, entitled “Mid-Term Reinvestment” is hereby deleted in its entirety
and replaced with the following new Section 703:
“SECTION 703. MID-TERM REINVESTMENT. There shall be no mid-term reinvestment
required hereunder. Rather, throughout the Term, Concessionaire shall keep the Premises in good,
safe, clean and orderly condition, through repairs and maintenance as required.”
Section 9.
All other terms, covenants and conditions of the Agreement, not inconsistent with this First
Amendment, are unchanged and hereby ratified and approved and will remain in full force and
effect.
