Exhibit 10.3

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO LAND
LEASE

 

 

                                This Amendment
No. 1 to Land Lease is made and entered into to be effective as of the 5th day
of April, 2004 by and between COLUMBUS REGIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY (the “Authority”)
and AIRNET SYSTEMS, INC. (“AirNet” or “Tenant”).

 

Preliminary Statements

 

A.                                   The Authority
and AirNet have previously entered into that certain Land Lease at Rickenbacker
International Airport dated as of January 20, 2004 (the “Lease”).

 

B.                                     The Authority
and AirNet now desire to amend the Lease to (i) give AirNet additional time to
complete construction of the Leasehold Improvements and (ii) to permit AirNet
to construct a small portion of the Ramp located immediately adjacent to AirNet’s
building.

 

                                Now, therefore, in consideration
of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the Authority and
AirNet hereby covenant and agree as follows:

 

1.             Section I.K. of the
Lease is hereby amended by deleting the words “twelve month” as they appear in
the first line of the first paragraph of said Section and substituting therefor
the words “eighteen month.”

 

2.             Section V.A. of the
Lease is hereby amended by deleting the words “one-year” as they appear in the
sixth line of the first paragraph of said Section and substituting therefor the
words “eighteen months.”

 

3.             Section V.B. of the
Lease is hereby amended by inserting the following paragraph after the second
paragraph of said Section:

 

Tenant agrees to construct a portion of the Ramp immediately adjacent
to its hangar (the “Apron Area”). The total length and width of the Apron Area
will be agreed upon by the Authority and Tenant.  This will permit Tenant to install certain
improvements (including radiant heating pipes) into the Apron Area to improve
Tenant’s operation (the “Ramp Improvements”). Allowing Tenant to construct the
Apron Area is for convenience of construction purposes only.  As with the remainder of the Ramp, the Apron
Area will not be considered part of the Premises.  The Tenant, however, shall be responsible for
any costs attributable to the installation, repair, maintenance, or replacement
of the Ramp Improvements.  No delay in
the construction of the Apron Area by the Tenant shall be attributable to the
Authority.  The Ramp will be considered
open and available to the Tenant when the Authority completes the remainder of
the Ramp.  The Authority agrees to
reimburse the Tenant the lesser of:  1)
the actual cost incurred by Tenant in completing the

 

1

 

construction of the Apron Area, minus the cost of the Ramp
Improvements, or 2) an amount equal to the average per square foot cost the
Authority incurred for the remainder of the Ramp times the number of square
feet contained in the Apron Area.  Such
reimbursement shall be made after completion of construction of the Apron Area
and not later than 30 days following receipt by the Authority of a request
therefor from Tenant, accompanied by evidence of (a) the cost incurred by
Tenant in constructing the Apron Area and (b) the cost of the Ramp
Improvements.

 

4.             The parties hereby
ratify and confirm the Lease, as the same is modified and amended hereby, and
agree to perform and observe all of their obligations and duties under the
Lease, as the same is modified and amended hereby.

 

 

                                IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this first Amendment to Land Lease to
be executed by their duly authorized officers to be effective as of the date
first above written, regardless of the actual date of execution by either
party.
