ATTACHMENTS Attachment No. I - Development Lease Attachment No. 2 - Site Map ii 4 DISPOSITION AND REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THIS AGREEMENT is entered into by and between the CITY OF PHOENIX, ARIZONA ("City") and AMERICA WEST AIRLINES, a Delaware corporation ("Developer"). The City and the Developer agree as follows: ARTICLE I. SUBJECT OF AGREEMENT SECTION 101. PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT The purpose of this Disposition and Redevelopment Agreement ("Agreement") is to put into effect the Sky Harbor Center Redevelopment Area Plan for a redevelopment project (the "Project") by providing for the disposition and development of certain real property designated and referred to herein as the "Site". The development of the Site pursuant to this Agreement, and the fulfillment generally of this Agreement, are in the vital and best interests of the City of Phoenix and the health, safety, and welfare of its residents, and in accord with the public purposes and provisions of applicable federal, state, and local laws and requirements and, pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes Section 9-500.11, will assist in the creation or retention of jobs or will otherwise improve or enhance the economic welfare of the inhabitants of the City of Phoenix. SECTION 102. REDEVELOPMENT PLAN This Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the Sky Harbor Center Redevelopment Area Plan, approved on April 24, 1985 by the City Council of the City of Phoenix by Resolution No. 16569, which is incorporated herein by this reference and made a part hereof as though fully set forth herein. SECTION 103. THE SITE The Site consists of approximately 27 acres generally located at the northwest corner of Buckeye Road and the Papago Freeway (I-10), in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona, within the portion of the Redevelopment Area legally described as PHOENIX SKY HARBOR CENTER, PHASE 1, according to the plant of record in the Office of the County Recorder of Maricopa County, Arizona, in Book 341 of Maps at page 37. The Site is comprised of approximately 13 acres, 5 hereinafter defined as the "Initial Parcel", which includes the "Development Parcel" and the "Driveway Parcel", and an adjacent parcel containing approximately 13 acres, hereinafter defined as the "Option Parcel." SECTION 104. PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT SECTION 104.1 THE CITY The City is a municipal corporation of the State of Arizona, a public body corporate, exercising governmental functions and powers pursuant to the Slum Clearance and Redevelopment Act of the State of Arizona. The execution of this Agreement and any other documents required to implement the provisions of this Agreement was authorized by Ordinance No. S-26932, passed by the Phoenix City Council on March 15, 2000. The principal office of the City is located at 200 West Washington Street, Phoenix, Arizona, 85003-1611. "City" as used in this Agreement, includes the City of Phoenix, the Community and Economic Development Department and any assignee or delegate of or successor to their rights, powers and responsibilities under the Arizona Slum Clearance and Redevelopment Law. The obligations, approvals and other actions by the City under this Agreement are the exercise of redevelopment powers for the purpose of compliance with the redevelopment considerations expressed in this Agreement, and is not an agreement as a municipality exercising regulatory powers. The Developer hereunder still must comply with land use regulations, codes and laws affecting the acquisition, ownership, use, improvement and development of property, and the vacation and abandonment of public rights-of-way and easements. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes an exemption or grant of a variance from applicable codes and laws. SECTION 104.2 THE DEVELOPER Developer, America West Airlines, a Delaware corporation authorized to do business in Arizona. 2 6 The principal office of the Developer is located at 4000 East Sky Harbor Boulevard, Arizona 85___. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the Developer and the permitted successors and assigns of the Developer. Wherever the term "Developer" is used herein, such term shall include any such permitted successors and assigns. SECTION 104.3 PROHIBITION AGAINST CHANGES IN OWNERSHIP. MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF DEVELOPER (a) The Developer represents and agrees that the leasing and development of the Site and other undertakings pursuant to this Agreement are and will be used for the purpose of redevelopment of the Site and not for speculation in landholding. The Developer further recognizes: (i) the importance of the redevelopment of the Site to the general welfare of the community; and (ii) the substantial financing and other public aids that have been made available by law and by the government for the purpose of making such redevelopment possible; and (iii) the fact that a significant change in ownership or control of the Developer or of a substantial part thereof, as defined in this Section 104.3 of this contract, is for practical purposes a transfer or disposition of the Site; and (iv) the fact that the Site is not to be acquired or used for speculation, but only for development by Developer in accordance with this Agreement. In view of the foregoing, the qualifications and identity of the Developer, its partners and principals, are of particular concern to the City. The Developer further recognizes that it is because of such qualifications and identity that City is entering into this Agreement with Developer. No voluntary or involuntary successor in 3 7 interest of Developer shall acquire any rights or powers under this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. (b) The Developer shall promptly notify the City of any and all changes whatsoever in the identity of the parties associated with the Developer, in joint ventures or partnerships for the purpose of acquiring and developing the Site or any part thereof as hereinabove provided, which are known to the Developer or its officers. Except as provided in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated by the City if there is any significant change (voluntary or involuntary) in the ownership or control of the Developer (other than such changes occasioned by the public trading of stock which does not result in a change in the present control of Developer), that has not been approved in writing by the City at the time of such change, which approval may be given or withheld in City's absolute discretion, prior to the issuance of Certificates of Occupancy for construction of all minimum required development on the Site as more fully described in Article 10 of the Development Lease referenced in Section 201 below. (c) Within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of a written request from the City, Developer shall provide the City with a copy of any contract, agreement, document and related papers which directly or indirectly conveys, assigns or changes Developer's interest as outlined in this Section 104.3. The Developer agrees to and shall indemnify and hold City harmless from or against all claims, demands and obligations asserted by or from any party claiming a right, interest or ownership to this Agreement, the Site or the Development thereof through or with Developer arising out of or in connection with relationships entered into by Developer or its partners with such other party. SECTION 104.4 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR Developer is an independent contractor in the performance of all activities, functions, duties and obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Developer or City are not and shall not be considered as joint venturers, partners or agents of each other. Developer's officers, employees, agents and subcontractors shall not be considered as officers, employees or agents of the City. The City and Developer hereby agree not to represent to anyone that they are agents of one another or have authority to act on behalf of one another. 4 8 ARTICLE II. LEASE OF SITE SECTION 201. INITIAL PARCEL Within 6 months after the execution of this Agreement, unless more time is granted in writing by the City or if such time is extended pursuant to Section 505 below, Developer shall enter into an unsubordinated development lease with the City for the Initial Parcel. The lease ("Lease") shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Attachment No. 1. Failure to timely execute the Lease pursuant to this Section 201 shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement and all rights of Developer hereunder without any further notice or action by the City, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary. Upon timely execution and delivery of the Lease, this Agreement shall terminate, and all of the rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed solely by the terms and conditions of the Lease. SECTION 202. EXPANSION OPTIONS Developer shall have, for a period of 6 years from the date of execution of the Lease or 5 years from issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the New Building, as defined in the Lease, whichever first occurs, so long as Developer is not in default of the Lease, the exclusive option to lease the Option Parcel depicted on the Site Map attached hereto as Attachment No. 2), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Article 35 of the Lease. SECTION 203. CONVEYANCE OF LEASEHOLD SECTION 203.1 TITLE INSURANCE The City and Developer shall request a preliminary title commitment from First American Title Insurance Company or other title insurance company acceptable to the City, reflecting the condition of title in anticipation of the issuance of an owner's extended leasehold title insurance policy prior to Ground Lease execution and prior to exercise of the option to lease each Option Parcel; provided, however, that the City shall be under no obligation to cure any title exceptions contained therein. 5 9 The City and the Developer shall each pay half of the following fees and costs in connection with conveyance of each leasehold: (a) The cost of any standard form title insurance policy. Developer shall pay for any special endorsements or extended coverage desired by Developer. (b) Recording fees. (c) Notary fees. SECTION 203.2 CONVEYANCE OF LEASEHOLD INTEREST AND DELIVERY OF POSSESSION Subject to any mutually agreed upon extensions of time, conveyance of the leasehold interest shall be completed on or prior to the date specified in this Agreement. The City and the Developer agree to perform all acts necessary for conveyance in sufficient time for the property interest to be conveyed in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Possession shall be delivered to the Developer concurrently with the conveyance of the leasehold interest, except that access and entry by Developer may be granted before conveyance as permitted pursuant to this Agreement. SECTION 203.3 EXECUTION OF LEASE BY CITY Subject to any mutually agreed upon extensions of time, the City shall execute the Lease and the Memorandum of Lease upon receipt of all fees and other amounts required to be paid by Developer prior to Lease execution pursuant to this Agreement. SECTION 203.4 RECORDATION OF DOCUMENTS The City shall file the Memorandum of Lease and any other instruments which are necessary and proper to vest the leasehold interest for recordation among the land records in the Office of the County Recorder for Maricopa County, State of Arizona. The Lease shall not be recorded. 6 10 SECTION 203.5 TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS Ad valorem taxes and assessments, if any, on the Site and taxes upon this Agreement or any rights thereunder, levied, assessed, or imposed for any period prior to the conveyance of any leasehold and other interests thereto, shall be borne by the City. Any taxes and assessments levied, assessed or imposed during the term of the leasehold shall be borne by the Developer, subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease with respect thereto. SECTION 203.6 CONDITION OF THE SITE The Site shall be conveyed in an "as is" condition with no warranty, express or implied, by the City as to title or the condition of the soil, its geology or the presence of known or unknown faults. It shall be the sole responsibility of the Developer at its expense to investigate and determine whether or not the proposed development can be constructed on the Site. If, in the opinion of Developer, the conditions are not in all respects suitable for the use or uses to which the parcels will be put, and Developer still wishes to proceed with the leasing of the Site, then it is the sole responsibility and obligation of the Developer, at Developer's expense, to take such action as may be necessary to place the Site in a condition suitable for its development. SECTION 203.7 ACCESS TO AND ENTRY BY THE DEVELOPER UPON THE SITE Prior to the conveyance of the leasehold, representatives of the Developer or its agents, employees, designees and nominees, shall have the right of access to and entry upon the Site to be leased at all reasonable times, for the purpose of obtaining data and making surveys and tests necessary to carry out this Agreement. The Developer agrees to and shall indemnify and hold the City harmless from any and all injuries or damages arising out of any work or activity of the Developer, its respective agents, employees, designees and nominees. The City agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to the Developer all data and information pertaining to the Site and available to the City when requested by the Developer. 7 11 SECTION 203.8 OBLIGATIONS OF CITY AND DEVELOPER WHICH ARE CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO LEASE EXECUTION BY CITY (a) Subject to any mutually agreed upon extensions of time, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and also subject to the satisfaction of all conditions contained herein or the waiver of any such condition by the party who is affected thereby, the City shall execute the Lease on or prior to the date specified therefor in this Agreement. (b) The obligation of City to execute the Lease is conditioned upon receipt of the following: (i) All fees payable by Developer pursuant to this Section 202; (ii) Delivery to the City of a Development Lease and Memorandum of Lease previously approved as to form by the City and signed (in triplicate) by the Developer; and (iii) Approval by the City of a legal description of the Site (which shall separately describe the areas designated by the City for the Initial Parcel and the Option Parcel) and a conceptual site for the Initial Parcel, which shall have been prepared by Developer at Developer's sole expense. (c) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that Developer shall have no obligation to execute the Lease if, in the opinion of Developer, conditions are not in all respects suitable for the use or uses to which the parcel will be put, or if Developer has not approved any aspects of its due diligence with respect to this Site including, without limitation, title review and approval, environmental review and approval, infrastructure review and approval, evidence of tax abatement, and other planning and architectural committee approvals. 8 12 ARTICLE III DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE SECTION 301.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE Developer agrees to and shall indemnify and hold City harmless from and against all liability, loss, damage, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and court costs) arising from or as a result of the death of a person or any accident, injury, loss or damage whatsoever caused to any person or to the property of any person which shall occur on or adjacent to the Site to the extent 9 13 directly or indirectly caused by any acts done thereon or any errors or omissions of Developer or its agents, servants, employees or contractors. Developer, all agents, servants and employees of the Developer and all contractors of the Developer will hold all goods, materials, furniture, fixtures, equipment, machinery and other property whatsoever in the Site and improvements thereon at the sole risk of Developer and save the City harmless from any loss or damage thereto by any cause whatsoever. The obligations of Developer under this Section 304 shall not, in any way, be affected by the absence in any case of covering insurance or by the failure of any insurance carrier to perform any obligation on its part to be performed under insurance policies affecting the Site. If any claim, action or proceeding is made or brought against the City by reason of any event which is the subject of Developer's foregoing indemnity, then, upon demand by City, Developer, at its sole cost and expense, shall resist or defend such claim, action or proceeding.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ARE CUMULATIVE Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties are cumulative, and the exercise by any party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same time or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by such defaulting party. SECTION 406. REMEDIES SECTION 406.1. DAMAGES (a) NOTICE AND CURE If any party defaults with regard to any of the provisions of this Agreement except in the event of Developer's failure to timely sign and deliver the Lease as required pursuant to Section 201, which shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement without notice or time to cure, a nondefaulting party shall deliver written notice of such default upon the defaulting party. If the default is not commenced to be cured within thirty (30) calendar days after service of the notice of default and is not cured promptly in a continuous and diligent manner within a reasonable period of time after commencement, the defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting parties for any damages caused by such default, and the nondefaulting parties may thereafter (but not before) commence an action for damages against the defaulting party with respect to such default.

SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE If any party defaults with regard to any of the provisions of this Agreement except Section 201, default of which shall result in immediate termination of this Agreement without notice or time to cure, the nondefaulting parties shall serve written notice of such default upon the defaulting party. If the default is not 13 17 commenced to be cured within thirty (30) calendar days after service of the notice of default and is not cured promptly in a continuous and diligent manner within a reasonable period of time after commencement, a nondefaulting party, at its option, may thereafter (but not before) commence an action for specific performance of the terms of this Agreement pertaining to such defaults. SECTION 406.3 RIGHTS OF TERMINATION (a) TERMINATION BY DEVELOPER The Developer, at its option, may terminate this Agreement prior to conveyance of the leasehold if: (i) the City, in breach of this Agreement, does not tender conveyance of a leasehold, or deliver possession thereof, in the manner and condition and by the date provided in this Agreement or fails to perform any condition precedent thereto, and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand by the Developer; or (ii) the condition of the Site is determined to be unsuitable for development.
