MINNEAPOLIS-ST.
PAUL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
This Amendment, effective the 15 th
day of November 2004, is between the Metropolitan Airports
Commission (“MAC”), a public corporation under the laws
of the State of Minnesota, and Northwest Airlines, Inc.
(“Northwest”), a corporation organized and existing
under the laws of Minnesota and authorized to do business in the
State of Minnesota.
WHEREAS, MAC and Northwest
entered into an Airline Operating Agreement and Terminal Building
Lease (“Lease”) effective
January 1,1999; and
WHEREAS, the parties wish
to amend the Lease to incorporate certain terms of an agreement
reached and approved by MAC on
August 13, 2003 allowing Northwest to build-out the void in
the floor space between the G Concourse and the ticketing area for
restaurant development purposes.
NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing, the parties agree to amend the
Lease as follows:
1.
All
references to the Gold Concourse shall be changed to the G
Concourse throughout the Lease.
2.
Northwest proposes to
build-out the void in the floor space (“infill space”)
between the G Concourse and the ticketing area in the south end of
the Lindbergh Terminal as currently shown on
Exhibit E.l.
A.
The
infill space shall be used to construct a Wolfgang Puck Express
restaurant and bar, subject to MAC’s consent to the amendment
to the sublease between Northwest and Host International, Inc.
as provided for in the Lease. All project costs are the sole
responsibility of Northwest. If for some reason final agreement is
not reached with Host for this concept, Northwest shall
retain the right to select a replacement concept subject to the
same terms and conditions contained herein.
B.
The infill space will be
added to the G Concourse leased space effective upon the date of
beneficial occupancy of the new concept.
C.
In
exchange for MAC’s approval, Northwest agrees not to develop
the F-G Corridor for as long as the infill space
is available to Northwest for use as a concession.
D.
If a
project mutually agreed to by MAC and Northwest requires removal of
the concession, all removal costs will be paid for by Northwest.
MAC is under no obligation to provide additional or new space for a
replacement
