Common Bag Claim Area. As a result of expansion and remodeling of the terminal building at the Airport, there is now approximately 16,939 square feet of common bag claim area within the terminal build- ing, as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and by reference made a part hereof. Rental for the 16,939 square feet common bag claim area shall be charged jointly to Lessee and all other Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Companies which now or may hereafter have valid leases at the Airport according to the common bag claim area formula, as hereinafter defined, and Lessee herein agrees to pay its pro rata portion of such rental, which shall consist of a fixed fee of $5.63 per square foot per year (to cover debt service) and a variable sum for Maintenance and Operation (M & O) costs. The M & O portion of the common bag claim area rental shall be subject to adjust- ments retroactively and prospectively as follows: Effective May 1, 1993, the M & O portion of the rental shall be $6.90 per square foot per year. Effective October 1, 1993, and each year thereafter on the same month and day for the remainder of this CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---- PAGE 22 Lease, the M & O portion of the rental shall be adjusted upward or downward in accordance with the increase or decrease for the preceding twelve (12) months in the CPI. Notwithstanding the date on which this Lease is executed, Lessee herein agrees to pay Lessor rentals for use of the com- mon bag claim area retroactively in accordance with this Section 7.03 as though this Lease had been executed and became effective on May 1, 1993. The total common bag claim area charges shall be prorated among all Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Companies at the Airport based on the following formula: Urenty percent (20%) of the total charges shall be divided equally among all Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Companies and the remaining eighty percent (80%) prorated based on each such car- rier's percentage of enplanements in the preceding month. Not later than the fifth (5th) day of each month, the Lessee shall file with the Director of Aviation a summary of the actual num- ber of passenger enplanements on Lessee's aircraft and the actual number of departures of Lessee's aircraft from the Airport for the preceding month. Lessee agrees to pay its cal- culated pro rata amount of common bag claim area rental monthly in accordance with the above common bag claim area formula. B. Common Boarding Lounge Area Prior to expansion and remodeling of the terminal building at the Airport, there were 26,789 square feet of space and six (6) loading gates available for use as common boarding lounge area by Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Companies. However, as a result of expansion and remodeling of the termi- nal building at the Airport and negotiations with air carriers that provide Air Transportation services at the Airport, approximately 51,685 square feet of space and nine (9) loading gates are now available for use as common boarding lounge area. Both Lessor and Lessee agree that for purposes of this Lease the common boarding lounge area shall consist of those six (6) gates designated as common boarding lounge area on Exhibit A CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---- PAGE 23 attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, but such common area shall be enlarged to include an additional gate for each Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Company that either begins or has already begun providing Air Trans- portation services at the Airport after January 1, 1987. Effective May 1, 1993, the base rental rate for the common boarding lounge area shall be $6.90 per square foot per year. Effective October 1, 1993, and each year thereafter on the same month and day for the remainder of this Lease, the base rental rate for the common boarding lounge area shall be adjusted upward or downward in accordance with the increase: or decrease for the preceding twelve (12) months in the CPI. Rental of the common boarding lounge area shall be charged jointly to all Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Compa- nies which now or may hereafter have leases at the Airport according to the common boarding lounge area formula, as here- inafter defined, and in accordance with the following calculation, and Lessee herein agrees to pay its pro rata por- tion of such rental: (6/9 X base rental rate X 51,685 square feet = annual rental) However, the fraction in the above calculation has been and shall be enlarged by one -ninth (1/9) each time that a Certifi- cated Passenger Air Transportation Company either has begun or does begin providing Air Transportation services at the Airport after January 1, 1987. in like manner, the fraction shall be reduced by one -ninth (1/9) whenever any Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Company has ceased or ceases providing Air Transportation services at the Airport after January 1, 1987. Except, however, such fraction shall not be reduced if any Cer- tificated Passenger Air Transportation Company with an unexpired lease takes bankruptcy and refuses to surrender its lease or allow Lessor to reclaim the space so occupied by such Air Transportation Company for any reason whatsoever. CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---- PAGE 24 Notwithstanding the date on which this Lease is executed, Lessee herein agrees to pay Lessor retroactively in accordance with this Section 7.03 its pro rata portion of the common boarding lounge area rental as though this Lease had been executed on May 1, 1993. The total common boarding lounge area charges shall be prorated among all Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Companies at the Airport based on the following formula: twenty percent (20%) of the total charges shall be divided among all Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Companies based on the percentage of departures in the previous month, and eighty percent (80%) shall be prorated based on each such carrier's percentage of enplanements in the previous month. Lessee agrees to pay its calculated pro rata amount of common boarding lounge area rental monthly in accordance with the above common boarding lounge area formula. Loading gates which have not been designated as common boarding lounge area shall not be considered as such unless added to the common area in accordance with this Section 7.03. However, Lessee may at no additional charge utilize! the loading gates not included in the common area for diversion or off - schedule operations. Lessee may similarly use these loading gates for charter flights after negotiating a use fee with the Airport Board of Lessor. Lessor herein agrees to train Lessee's personnel to operate such loading gates for these pur- poses. SECTION 7.O4 - RENTAL FOR PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM. Lessee shall have use of two (2) microphone connections in the terminal building of the Airport and shall pay a rental rate of $5.00 per month per microphone connection. Lessor and Lessee may mutually agree that Lessee shall have use of addi- tional microphones at the monthly rate, which rate will be adjusted when necessary to reflect the charges imposed on Lessor to provide this service. CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---- PAGE 25 Microphones located on the non-exclusive use premises are to be used in conjunction with other Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Companies which now or may hereafter have valid leases at the Airport. These companies shall provide Lessor with a written schedule of the pro rata rental due by each Lessee hereunder and Lessee agrees to pay its stated pro rata amount monthly. The pro rata schedule so furnished to Lessor shall remain in effect until such time as Lessor is provided a revised schedule of the pro rata rental amounts executed by all said Lessees, which revised schedule shall remain in effect until similarly modified. SECTION 7.05 - AIRCRAFT STORAGE. Lessor shall have the right to designate apron parking areas for the storage of Lessee's aircraft. SECTION 7.06 - TIME OF PAYMENT. Lessee agrees to pay Lessor the rentals, fees and charges due hereunder at such place as Lessor may from time to time designate. Unless otherwise herein stated, the rental for the Exclusive Leased Premises shall be payable monthly in advance on or before the last day of such month. Unless otherwise herein stated, all other rentals, fees and charges shall be payable in monthly installments covering the preceding calendar month of operation. In the event that the commencement or termination of this agreement falls on any date other than the first or last day of a calendar month, the applicable rentals, fees and charges (except landing fees and rentals, fees and charges that are pro rated on the basis of passenger enplanements, aircraft depar- tures and/or other such use measurements) for that month shall be paid on a pro rata basis according to the number of days during which said particular premises, facilities, rights, licenses, services and privileges were enjoyed. Lessor shall, after the end of each calendar month, trans- mit to Lessee a statement of the rentals, fees and charges incurred by Lessee during said month as hereinabove provided. CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---- PAGE 26 Payment shall be made by Lessee on or before the 25th day of the month in which such statement is transmitted. Lessee shall pay Lessor a late payment charge of five per- cent (5%) of the total amount of rentals, fees and other charges payable if payment is not made when due. SECTION 7,07 - DEFAULT FOR FAILURE TO PAY RENTALS, FEES AND CHARGES. It is expressly agreed that time of payment of the rentals, fees and charges hereinabove provided is of the essence in this entire Lease. Therefore, if Lessee fails to pay any rentals, fees or charges due hereunder within thirty (30) days after Lessor transmits a statement therefor to Lessee, Lessor may, at its option, upon ten (10) working days written notice to Lessee (unless in such ten day period Lessee shall have corrected such failure to pay) immediately, or at any time thereafter, enter into and upon the Exclusive Leased Premises, or any part thereof in the name of the whole, and repossess said premises. In said event, Lessor may expel Lessee and those claiming by, through or under Lessee and remove Lessee's effects from Airport property forcibly, if necessary, without being deemed guilty of trespass and without prejudice to any remedy which otherwise might be used for breach of covenant or to collect rentals, fees and charges in arrears. Upon such re-entry this Lease shall terminate. SECTION 7.00 - AIRPORT SECURITY FEE. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, Lessee herein agrees to pay Lessor on a monthly basis Lessee's proportionate share of the total operational costs related to compliance with 14 C.F.R. Part 107 according to the same formula utilized herein for determining rental for common use area, to -wit: twenty percent (20%) of the total charges shall be divided equally among all Certificated Passen- ger Air Transportation Companies based on the percentage of CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---- PAGE 27 departures in the previous month, and eighty percent (80%) shall be prorated based on each such carrier's percentage of enplanements in the previous month. Effective May 1, 1993, the fee jointly charged to Lessee and all other air carriers at the Airport for the: operational costs related to compliance with 14 C.F.R. Part 107 shall be the actual costs incurred by the Airport and which are reason- ably necessary to achieve compliance with 14 C.F.R. Part 107, and Lessee agrees to pay its pro rata portion of such fee monthly and in accordance with the above formula. Lessor likewise herein agrees that the fee paid by Lessee in accordance with this Section shall be no more than Lessee's pro rata portion of the actual costs incurred by the Lessor and reasonably necessary for compliance with 14 C.F.R. Part 107 and shall only be used by the City to achieve compliance with 14 C.F.R. Part 107 and for no other purpose. Lessor herein also agrees to immediately adjust the monthly amounts billed to Lessee and other air carriers for any reduction in personnel whose positions are funded by the fee hereinabove discussed and for any other changes in the actual costs expended by the Lessor in order to comply with 14 C.F.R. Part 107. Lessor further agrees to establish a separate fund or account in which to maintain fees received from Lessee and other air carriers pursuant to this Section 7.08, and that all records indicating payments into and expenditures from this fund or account shall be subject to review by Lessee and such other air carriers. ARTICLE VIII REAWUSTMENT OF RENTALS, FEES AND OTHER CHARGES SECTION 8.01 - PROCEDURE FOR READJUSTMENT OF RENTALS, FEES AND OTHER CHARGES. On April 1, 1994, and every three (3) calendar years thereafter that this Lease remains in effect, all rentals, fees and other charges for the use of any one or all of the premises and facilities leased hereunder for the succeeding three (3) CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---- PAGE 28 year period shall be subject to renegotiation upon written notice by either party hereto ninety (90) days prior to the beginning of the next three (3) year period. Either party giving notice shall, at the time, furnish the other party with a reasonably detailed statement supporting the proposed adjust- ment. ARTICLE IR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES RESERVED BY CITY SECTION 9.01 - RIGHT TO CHARGE USE FEES TO OTHERS. Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to restrict in any manner Lessor's right to charge any person, partnership, firm, association or corporation fees and rentals for the use of Lessor's property or any improvements thereon where! such use of said property or improvements is of a regular or permanent nature, as distinguished from a temporary or transitory nature, or where such use is of such a nature as to constitute the per- formance of a commercial business at the Airport. In addition, Lessor shall have the right to charge persons, partnerships, firms, associations and corporations a fee no less than that set forth in mutual assistance ground services agreements, as revised from time to time. This fee shall be applicable to, but not limited to, fees for ramp use, jetway use, gate use, training flights and aircraft storage and landing fees, which shall never be less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the landing fee charged Lessee as set out in Section 7.02 hereof. SECTION 9.02 - RIGHT TO IMPROVE AND PROTECT THE AIRPORT. In addition to any other rights herein retained, Lessor specifically reserves the following rights and privileges: (a) The right to further develop or improve the landing area and other portions of the Airport as Lessor deems necessary. Lessor agrees to advise Lessee of any proposed capital expenditure in excess of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($100,000.00) and CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---• PAGE 29 (b) (c) to consult with Lessee prior to undertaking such capital expenditure. However, nothing in this Sec- tion 9.02 or elsewhere in this Lease shall be construed as a delegation of Lessor's authority to determine when such capital expenditures are deemed necessary. If feasible, such improvements shall be made in a manner which will cause Lessee as little inconvenience as possible. Lessee shall not be assessed any rentals, fees or other charges for such improvements unless Lessee occupies or utilizes such improvements either exclusively or in conjunction with other air carriers, or the improvements are required by the Federal Aviation Administration or for the safe operation of the Airport. The right to take any action Lessor considers neces- sary to protect the aerial approaches of the Airport against obstruction, together with the right to pre- vent Lessee from erecting or permitting to be erected any building or other structure on the Airport which, in the opinion of Lessor, would limit the usefulness of the Airport or constitute a hazard to aircraft. The right during time of war or national emergency to lease the Airport or any part thereof to the United States Government for military use. In the event any such Lease is executed, the rights and privileges granted Lessee in this instrument insofar as they are inconsistent with the rights and privileges granted to the Government shall be suspended. CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---- PAGE 30 ARTICLE S INDEMNIFICATION, INSURANCE AND BONDS SECTION 10.01 - INDEMNIFICATION, ETC. The parties agree that Lessee is and shall always be deemed to be an independent contractor and operator and not an agent or employee of Lessor with respect to Lessee's acts and omissions hereunder. The Lessee agrees that it will indemnify and save Lessor harmless from all claims arising out of any demands of contrac- tors, subcontractors, laborers, workers, suppliers, mechanics, materialmen and furnishers of equipment or parts thereof, which claims may be incurred by the activities of Lessee at the Air- port or by reason of any improvements, alterations, construction or installation on the Exclusive Leased Premises. Lessee shall indemnify fully and save harmless Lessor, its officers, agents and employees from any and all claims and actions and any and all expenses incidental to the investiga- tion and defense thereof, based upon or arising out of damages or injuries to third persons or their property, and caused by the fault or negligence of Lessee, its contractors, agents or employees in the construction, use or occupancy of the facili- ties, premises and privileges hereunder; provided, however, that Lessor shall indemnify fully and save harmless Lessee, its officers, agents and employees from any and all claims and actions and any and all expenses incidental to the investiga- tion and defense thereof, based upon or arising out of damages or injuries to third persons or their property, and caused by the fault or negligence of Lessor, its agents or employees, or arising out of or as a result of the condition of any of the publicly used premises in or about said Airport, but such indemnification shall never exceed the limits of exposure set forth in the Texas Tort Claims Act when such claims or actions fall within the terms of said Act. Lessor shall give to Lessee prompt and reasonable notice of any claims or actions against Lessor, and failure to so notify Lessee shall relieve Lessee of CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---- PAGE 31 its obligations to indemnify Lessor therefor. In all cases where Lessee is obligated to indemnify and save harmless Lessor as hereinabove provided, Lessee shall have the right to inves- tigate, compromise and defend any such claims or actions to the extent of its own interest, and Lessee shall cooperate with Lessor and protect Lessor's interest to this end. In all cases where Lessor is required to indemnify and save harmless Lessee as hereinabove provided, Lessor shall have the right to inves- tigate, compromise and defend any such claims or actions to the extent of its own interest, and Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee and protect Lessee's interest to this end.

All policies or certificates shall contain a provision requiring the insurers to give Lessor written notice of cancellation or of any material change in said policies or certificates at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of such cancellation or material change. Each policy shall also contain a provision waiving the right of such insurers to subrogation. Lessee shall maintain all insurance required hereunder with insurance underwriters authorized to do business in the State of Texas and satisfactory to Lessor. All policies shall name Lessor, its officers, servants, agents and employees as additional insureds. Before the initial term of this agreement commences, Lessee shall furnish Lessor with certificates of insurance which indicate that all insurance and provisions required hereunder are in full force and effect or shall pro- vide Lessor with certified copies of said policies: (a) Fire Insurance - Lessee shall insure for fire and extended coverage risks all of Lessee's improvements on the Exclusive Leased Premises. Such insurance shall be in an amount equal to the full insurable replacement value of such improvements. All fire CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---- PAGE 32 insurance policies shall contain loss payable endorsements in favor of the parties as their respec- tive interests may appear hereunder. Lessor agrees that any payments received from such insurers as a result of loss under such policies shall be applied toward repair and reconstruction of said leasehold improvements. (b) Public Liability and Property Damage Insurance - Prior to undertaking any activities at the Airport, Lessee shall obtain comprehensive general liability insurance for the protection of Lessor, its officers, agents and employees. Lessee shall provide public liability insurance for personal injuries or death arising out of any one accident or event in a minimum sum of THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($300,000.00) for one person and TWO MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,000,000.00) for any one accident and, in addition, shall provide property damage lia- bility insurance in a minimum sum of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250,000.00) for property damage arising out of any one accident or event.

If the Exclusive Leased Premises are partially damaged by fire, explosion, the elements, a public enemy or other casu- alty, but not rendered untenantable, the same will be repaired with due diligence by Lessor at its own cost and expense; pro- vided, however, that if the damage is caused by an act or omission of Lessee, its sublessees, agents or employees, Lessee CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---- PAGE 33 shall be responsible for repairing said premises and shall pay the cost therefor; and provided, further, that if the damage is not caused by an act or omission of Lessee, its sublessees, agents or employees, and a portion of the Exclusive Leased Premises is rendered untenantable, rental payments due Lessor shall be abated proportionately until repairs are effected. SECTION 11.02 - EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. If damage from fire, explosion, the elements, a public enemy or other casualty is so extensive as to render that por- tion of the Exclusive Leased Premises situated within the terminal building untenantable but capable of being repaired in thirty (30) days, the same shall be repaired with due diligence by Lessor at its own cost and expense, and the rent payable herein with respect to such premises shall be paid proportion- ately to the time of such damage and thereafter cease until such time as the premises are fully restored; provided, however, that if the damage is caused by an act or omission of Lessee, its sublessees, agents or employees, Lessee shall be responsible for repairing said premises and shall pay the cost therefor. During any such period where Lessee is responsible for repairing said premises under the terms of this paragraph, the usual rental shall be payable. The abatement of rental for the Exclusive Leased Premises, as aforesaid, shall not be construed as a waiver of other fees due and payable under the terms of Article VII. SECTION 11.03 - COMPLETE DESTRUCTION. In the event the Exclusive Leased Premises are completely destroyed by fire, explosion, the elements, a public enemy or other casualty, or so damaged that they will remain untenantable for more than thirty (30) days, Lessor shall be under no obligation to repair or reconstruct said premises, and rent payable hereunder and attributable to such destroyed premises shall be paid proportionately to the time of such damage or destruction and shall thereafter cease until such time as the premises are fully restored. If within one hundred CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---- PAGE 34 fifty (150) days after the time of such damage or destruction said premises shall not have been repaired or reconstructed, or other reasonable facilities provided in lieu thereof, Lessee may cancel this Lease in its entirety or such part of this Lease that pertains to the Exclusive Leased Premises by giving Lessor written notice of such cancellation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Exclusive Leased Premises and adjoining premises are completely destroyed as a result of an act or omission by Lessee, Lessor may, in its dis- cretion, require Lessee to repair or reconstruct the Exclusive Leased Premises and adjoining premises and pay the costs there- for. During any such period where Lessee repairs said premises under the terms of this paragraph, the usual rental shall be payable. SECTION 11.04 - RIGHT TO RECOVER DAMAGES. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed as a waiver of the right of either Lessor or Lessee to recover damages from the other arising out of the fault or negligence of the other. SECTION 11.05 - LIMIT OF CITY'S OBLIGATIONS DEFINED. It is understood that in the application of the foregoing Sections 11.01, 11.02 and 11.03, Lessor's obligations shall be limited to repair or reconstruction of the Exclusive Leased Premises to the same extent and quality that existed at the commencement of this Lease.

(f) The lawful assumption by the United States Govern- ment, of the operation, control or use of the Airport, or any substantial part or parts thereof, or any authorized agency thereof, in such a manner as to substantially restrict Lessee for a period of at least ninety (90) days from operating thereon. (g) In addition to the foregoing, all rights, privileges and interests acquired hereunder by Lessee may, at the option of Lessor and following written notice of ninety (90) days, be suspended or finally terminated if such suspension or termination is found by Lessor, acting in good faith, to be necessary to enable Lessor to undertake construction for expansion of the terminal building, or to secure federal financial aid CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---- PAGE 38 for the development of the Airport, or for the devel- opment or promotion of aeronautical operations thereon.

SECTION 14.18 - UNDERSTANDING OF THE PARTIES. A. Both parties to this Lease agree and understand that the City of Lubbock has created three classifications of Cer- tificated Passenger Air Transportation Companies that may provide Air Transportation services at the Airport and that this Lease is the standard lease for such air carriers that desire a long-term lease with Lessor as de- fined in Section 1.01. The parties hereto recognize each of the different classifications as defined in Section 1.01 of this Lease and that the City of Lubbock may apply or agree to different terms and conditions in creating CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---- PAGE 45 business relationships with Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Companies that fall into a different clas- sification than Lessee so long as the terms and conditions agreed to, as to such other classified air carriers, are consistent and uniform within each classification. It is further understood that any Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Company which desires a lease at the Air- port with an initial term of three (3) or more years will execute this standard long-term lease and that the terms and conditions of this long-term lease shall not change or be substantially modified unless herein stated or agreed to in writing by all Certificated Passenger Air Trans- portation Companies at the Airport classified as holders of standard long-term leases. B. It is the further understanding of the parties hereto that Lessor has classified Certificated Passenger Air Trans- portation Companies who desire to conduct business at the Airport in accordance with the term of their lease or business relationship with Lessor in order to provide the broadest possible Air Transportation services to the gen- eral public, to encourage new air carriers to test the market for these services in the Lubbock area and to main- tain a fee and rental structure for the facilities and services being provided by Lessor through its Lubbock International Airport which will make the Airport as self- sustaining as possible. C. It is the further understanding of the parties that Lessor reserves the right to offer different terms and conditions to Certificated Passenger Air Transportation Companies in different classifications as herein defined so long as the terms and conditions offered to the air carriers are the same or substantially similar within each classification. However, notwithstanding anything set forth in this Sec- tion 14.18, the formulas for calculating rental for the common boarding lounge area and common bag claim area will CERTIFICATED PASSENGER AIRLINE LEASE UNITED EXPRESS ---- PAGE 46 be followed by Lessor for all classifications of Certifi- cated Passenger Air Transportation Companies doing business at the Lubbock International Airport. Further- more, Lessor herein agrees not to assess Lessee any rates for rentals, fees and other charges less favorable than those rates for rentals, fees and other charges assessed to standard short-term tenants and month -to -month tenants (as herein defined in Section 1.01) for comparable space or facilities. However, Lessor reserves the right to assess higher rates for rentals, fees and charges to short-term and month -to -month tenants in the future. This Lease shall be executed in triplicate and each exe- cuted document shall be deemed to be an original document. ARTICLE XV MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS SECTION 15.01 - SECURITY CHARGES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, a charge of twenty-five cents ($.25) shall be assessed to Lessee for each of Lessee's enplaned passengers at the Air- port for backup security reimbursement.

No rentals, fees or charges other than those herein expressly stated shall be assessed to Lessee save and except those miscellaneous fees and charges that are assessed to all other similarly situated air carriers at the Airport such as, but not necessarily limited to, dump station service charges and reasonable fees for the use of dumpsters, and costs incurred as a result of FAA -mandated security procedures or other requirements which are likewise assessed to all such sim- ilarly situated air carriers.
