                    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,
<PAGE>   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
<PAGE>   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
<PAGE>   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.

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

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 203. CONVEYANCE OF LEASEHOLD

                  SECTION 203.1 TITLE INSURANCE

         The City and Developer shall request a preliminary title commitment

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

         (b)      Recording fees.

                  SECTION 203.2 CONVEYANCE OF LEASEHOLD INTEREST AND DELIVERY OF

         Subject to any mutually agreed upon extensions of time, conveyance of

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

                  SECTION 203.4 RECORDATION OF DOCUMENTS

         The City shall file the Memorandum of Lease and any other instruments

<PAGE>   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

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.

                  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

orientation, age or disability. Such action shall include, but not be limited to
the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or
recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of
compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The supplier
further agrees that this clause will be incorporated in all subcontracts entered

ARTICLE IV. DEFAULTS, REMEDIES AND TERMINATION

         SECTION 401. DEFAULTS - GENERAL

         Subject to the extensions of time set forth in Section 505, failure or
delay by any party to perform any term or provision of this Agreement
constitutes a default under this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 201
above, the party who so fails or delays must immediately commence to cure,
correct, or remedy such failure or delay, and shall complete such cure,
correction or remedy with reasonable diligence.

         A nondefaulting party shall give written notice of default to the party
in default, specifying the default complained of by the injured party. Failure
or delay in giving such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any default, nor
shall it change the time of default.

         Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any failure
or delay by any party in asserting any of its rights or remedies as to any
default, shall

                                       11
<PAGE>   15
not operate as a waiver of any default, or of any such rights or remedies, or
deprive either such party of its right to institute and maintain any actions or
proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such
rights or remedies.

         SECTION 402. INSTITUTION OF LEGAL ACTIONS

         In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may institute
legal action to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any
default, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purpose of this
Agreement. Such legal actions may be instituted in the County of Maricopa, State
of Arizona, or in the Federal District Court in the District of Arizona.

         If any legal action is instituted pursuant to this Agreement, the
prevailing party in such action shall be reimbursed by the other party for all
costs and expenses of such action, including reasonable attorneys' fees as may
be fixed by the Court

         SECTION 403. APPLICABLE LAW

         The laws of the State of Arizona shall govern the interpretation and
enforcement of this Agreement.

         SECTION 404. ACCEPTANCE OF THE LEGAL PROCESS

         In the event that any legal action is commenced by the Developer
against the City, service of process on the City shall be made by personal
service upon the City Clerk of the City of Phoenix, or in such other manner as
may be provided by law.

         In the event that any legal action is commenced by the City against the
Developer, service of process shall be made by personal service or in such other
manner as may be provided by law, whether made within or without the State of
Arizona.

         SECTION 405. 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.

         (b) LIMITATION ON DAMAGES

         Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither City nor
Developer shall in any event be responsible or liable for consequential,
exemplary or punitive damages as a result of any act or omission in connection
with this Agreement.

                  SECTION 406.2. 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
<PAGE>   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. In the
event of such termination, neither party shall have any further rights or
liabilities hereunder.

         (b) TERMINATION BY CITY

         The City at its option may terminate this Agreement immediately and
without further notice or action by City if:

         (i)      The Developer assigns or attempts to assign and/or convey this
                  Agreement (or any rights therein) in violation of this
                  Agreement;

         (ii)     City does not receive from Developer all items required under
                  Article II above within the times specified;

         (iii)    The Developer shall fail to perform any other obligations and
                  duties provided in this Agreement within the time for
                  performance specified therefor, or if no such time is
                  specified, within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of
                  written demand by the City to the Developer to perform such
                  obligation and duty.

       SECTION 4.3. CONTEST. Tenant, if it shall so desire, may contest the
validity or amount of any Imposition, in which event, Tenant may defer the
payment thereof during the pendency of such contest; provided, that upon request
by Landlord at any time after the same shall have become due, Tenant shall
deposit with the Landlord any amount sufficient to pay such contested item
together with the interest and penalties thereon (as reasonably estimated by
Landlord), which amount shall be applied to the payment of such item when the
amount thereof shall be finally fixed and determined. Nothing herein contained,
however, shall be so construed as to allow such item to remain unpaid for a
length of time that permits the Premises or any part thereof, or the lien
thereon created by such Imposition to be sold for the nonpayment of the same.
If the amount so deposited shall exceed the amount of such payment, the excess
shall be paid to Tenant or, in case there shall be any deficiency, the amount of
such deficiency shall be promptly paid by Tenant to Landlord together with all
interest, penalties or other charges accruing thereon. At any time that the
Tenant hereunder is an Institutional Lender, the requirements for deposits set

       SECTION 4.4. ASSESSMENT REDUCTION. Tenant may, if it shall so desire,
without expense to Landlord, endeavor at any time to obtain a lowering of the

However, in such event, Landlord will not be required to cooperate with Tenant
and may in fact oppose such endeavor. Tenant shall be authorized to collect any
tax refund payable as a result of any proceeding Tenant may institute for that
purpose and any such tax refund shall be the property of Tenant to the extent to
which it may be based on a payment made by Tenant.

       SECTION 4.5. HOLD HARMLESS. Landlord shall not be required to join in any
action or proceeding referred to in Sections 4.3 or 4.4 (unless required by law
or any rule or regulation in order to make such action or proceeding effective,
in which event any such action or proceeding may be taken by Tenant in the name
of the Landlord only with Landlord's prior written consent). Tenant hereby
agrees to save Landlord harmless from all costs, expenses, claims, loss or
damage by reason of, in connection with, on account of, growing out of, or
resulting from, any such action or proceeding.

potential tax liability under the Government Property Lease Excise Tax
provisions of Arizona Revised Statutes, Section 42-6201, et seq. Failure of

                                       15
<PAGE>   24
blanket insurance policy or policies which cover other properties owned or
operated by Tenant as well as the Premises; provided, however, that any such
policy of blanket insurance of the kind provided for by Section 5.1 shall
specify therein, or Tenant shall furnish Landlord a written statement from the
insurers under such policies specifying, the amount of the total insurance
allocated to the Premises, which amount shall be not less than the amount
required herein. No blanket policy shall contain any clause that would result in
the insured thereunder being required or permitted to carry insurance with
respect to the property covered thereby in an amount less than the full
insurable value of such property in order to prevent the insured therein named
from becoming a co-insurer of any loss with the insurer under such policy.

       SECTION 5.3. EXPIRATION OF TERM. Subject to the approval of the
insurer(s), if Landlord desires to assume existing insurance coverage at the
expiration of the Lease Term hereof, all policies (except blanket policies)
shall be transferred to Landlord free of all right, title and interest of Tenant
and those claiming under Tenant, and Landlord shall pay to Tenant an amount
equal to the unearned premiums apportioned as of such expiration date. If
Landlord does not desire to assume existing policies of insurance at the
expiration of the term hereof, all existing policies shall be canceled and any
refund of premium returned to Tenant.

       SECTION 5.4. RISK OF LOSS. At no time during the Term hereof, will
Landlord be required to carry any insurance covering or affecting the Premises,
and Tenant assumes the risk of any loss, damage, or claims throughout the Term
hereof, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord, its agents, employees and contractors.

       SECTION 5.5 FAILURE TO MAINTAIN INSURANCE. If Tenant fails or refuses to
provide a copy of the renewal insurance certificates, together with evidence of
payment of premiums therefor as required by Section 5.1(F) herein, or otherwise
fails or refuses to procure or maintain insurance as required by this Lease,
Landlord shall have the right, at Landlord's election, and upon three (3)
business days prior written notice, to procure and maintain such insurance. The
premiums paid by Landlord shall be due and payable from Tenant to Landlord on
the first day of the month following the date on which the premiums were paid.
Landlord shall give prompt notice of the payment of such premiums, stating the
amounts paid and the names of the insurer(s) and insured(s).

                                       16
<PAGE>   25
       Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing paragraph, the lapse or
cancellation of any policy of insurance required herein, in whole or in part for
the benefit of Landlord, shall be an event of default. No cure of such default
can be accomplished unless a new or renewed policy is issued which specifically
provides the required coverage to the Landlord for any liability arising during
the lapsed or previously uncovered period.

                         (This is the end of Article 5)

                             ARTICLE 6 - SURRENDER

      SECTION 6.1. SURRENDER--REMOVABLE PROPERTY. Upon the expiration of the
term of this Lease or on the sooner termination thereof, Tenant shall peaceably
and quietly leave, surrender, and yield up to the Landlord all of the Premises,
including all improvements thereon, broom-clean and free of occupants, and shall
repair all material damage to the Premises (as reasonably determined by
Landlord) caused by or resulting from the removal of any removable property of
Tenant or of subtenants, normal wear and tear excepted. Any property of Tenant
or any subtenant which shall remain in the Building after the expiration of the
Term hereof or sooner termination thereof shall be deemed to have been
abandoned, and may either be retained by Landlord as its property or disposed of
in such manner as Landlord may see fit. If such property or any part thereof
shall be sold, Landlord shall receive and retain the proceeds of such sale.
Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for any and all costs of removal and the
repair of any and all damages caused thereby in excess of any proceeds received
by Landlord from any sale of Tenant's property pursuant to this provision.

      SECTION 6.2. WASTE. Tenant shall not commit or suffer to be committed any
waste or impairment of the Premises.

      SECTION 6.3. TITLE. Except as provided in Section 10.6 below, upon
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy title to the New Building shall
automatically vest in Landlord without the requirement of any deed, conveyance,
or bill of sale thereon. However, if Landlord should require any such document
in confirmation thereof, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver the
same.

      SECTION 6. SOIL AND BUILDINGS TESTS. Within the three (3) months
immediately preceding the expiration of this Lease or within (2) two months of
any earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a soil
and building conditions report prepared by a qualified engineer, licensed by the
State of Arizona, stating that the Premises are free of any hazardous materials
as they are defined in the Sky Harbor Center Hazardous Materials Handling
Guidelines or identified by either the United States Environmental Protection
Agency or similar State agency as such. Except as provided in Section 6.5,
below, if any hazardous materials are identified, Tenant is fully personally
liable for removing the hazard and leaving the Premises in a hazard free
condition, except to the extent present on Premises prior to the Commencement
Date (as identified or referred to

                                       18
<PAGE>   27
as potential hazards in the Phase I and Phase II environmental reports prepared
for Tenant by Speedie and Associates on October 13, 1999, and January 11, 2000,
respectively, copies of which were provided by Tenant to Landlord) or as a
result of any act or omission of Landlord, its employees, agents, businesses or
contractors.

      SECTION 6.5. FAILURE TO CORRECT HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS OR OBTAIN TESTS.
Should Tenant fail to deliver to Landlord the report required by Section 6.4,
Landlord may cause a report to be prepared to like effect and Tenant shall be
liable to Landlord for one hundred thirty percent (130%) of the cost of said
report. Should the report provided by either Landlord or Tenant state that the
Premises cannot be used or leased in a hazard free condition, Tenant shall
forthwith cause the hazardous condition to be fully corrected at Tenant's
expense; further, Tenant shall be required to pay to Landlord an amount equal to
one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Net Rent and Additional Payments
theretofore owing until the Premises are restored to a hazard free condition.
This shall not be construed as an extension of an expired or terminated lease
but solely as damages to Landlord due to Tenant's activities which prevent
Landlord from re-leasing the Premises. Tenant, following such lease expiration
or termination shall be allowed access to the Premises only to the extent
necessary to remove or otherwise correct any hazard, and shall conduct no
gainful business activity whatsoever at said Premises.

      SECTION 6.6. SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. The provisions of this Article 6
shall survive the expiration or any termination of this Lease.

                         (This is the end of Article 6)

pay any Imposition or make any other payment required to be made under this
Lease or shall default in the performance of any other covenant, agreement,
term, provision, limitation, or condition herein contained within thirty (30)
days after written notice from Landlord, Landlord, without being under any
obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may make such

Tenant, immediately and without notice. Bills for any expense required by
Landlord in connection therewith, and bills for all such expenses and

provided furnished, or rendered, or caused to be furnished or rendered, by
Landlord to Tenant, with respect to the Premises and other equipment and
construction work done for the account of the Tenant together with interest at

immediately, at Landlord's option, and shall be due and payable in accordance
with the terms of said bills and if not paid when due the amount thereof shall
immediately become due and payable as Additional Payments.

      SECTION 8.1. ABSENCE OF WARRANTIES. Tenant has leased the Premises after a
full and complete examination thereof, as well as the title thereto and
knowledge of its present uses and nonuses. Tenant accepts the same in the
condition or state in which they now are without any representation or warranty,
express or implied in fact or by law, by Landlord and without recourse to
Landlord, as to the title thereto, the nature, condition, or usability thereof
or the use or uses to which the Premises or any part thereof may be put.
Landlord shall not be required to furnish any services or facilities or to make
any repairs or alterations in or to the Premises or to provide any off-site
improvements, such as utilities or paving, or other forms of access to the
Premises, other than what may already exist on the Commencement Date, throughout
the Term hereof. Tenant hereby assumes the full and sole responsibility for the

maintenance, and management of the Premises, including but not limited to the
performance of all burdens running with the Land.

      SECTION 8.2. PERMITTED USES. In no event shall the Premises or any part
thereof be used for any purpose prohibited by Article 31 (Conditions of
Development). Additionally, use of the Premises by Tenant is hereby restricted
to airline training, flight simulation or ancillary office facilities or other
airline purposes, and the Premises may not be used for any other purpose without
the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be given or withheld at
Landlord's reasonable discretion. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Driveway
Parcel may only be used for vehicular access to the Premises and for no other
purpose whatsoever. Moreover, any permitted use which involves the handling,
production and/or storage of Hazardous Materials on the Premises shall be
subject to the Sky Harbor Center Hazardous Materials Handling Guidelines and to
all federal, state and local laws rules and regulations pertaining to same.

      SECTION 8.3. MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS, INDEMNITY. Tenant shall take good care
of the Premises, make all repairs thereto, interior and exterior, structural and
nonstructural, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, and shall
maintain and keep the Premises and the sidewalks, curbs, and landscaping in good
order, repair, and condition in accordance with City of Phoenix standards and
this Lease, whichever is more stringent. Tenant shall also keep the sidewalks
and gutters in front of the Premises free and clear from rubbish and shall not
obstruct the same or allow the same to be obstructed in any manner. Tenant shall
indemnify Landlord and save it harmless from any and all claims or

                                       21
<PAGE>   30
demands, upon or arising out of any accident, injury, or damage to any person or
property occurring in or upon the Premises or any part thereof, or upon the
sidewalks about the Premises, however caused, and shall keep the Premises free
and clear of any and all mechanics' liens or other similar liens or charges
incidental to work done or material supplied in or about the Premises.

      SECTION 8.4. PERFORMANCE BY LANDLORD. In the event Tenant fails to
maintain and repair the Premises in the condition required by Section 8.3
hereof, Landlord, without being under any obligation to do so and without
thereby waiving any default, may after thirty (30) days written notice to Tenant
and Tenant's failure to perform the work (or, in the event of an emergency or a
threat to safety, immediately and without notice to Tenant) perform or have
performed any and all such work as it, in its sole and absolute discretion,
deems reasonably necessary to maintain or restore the Premises to its required
condition. Any and all work performed by or for Landlord pursuant to this
Section 8.4, shall be deemed to have been undertaken for and at the expense of
Tenant. All cost incurred by Landlord in undertaking such work shall, along with
an administrative fee equaling twenty percent (20%) of such costs and expenses
("Administrative Fee"), be subject to the provisions of Section 7.1 hereof.

      SECTION 8.5. ALTERATIONS. Except as provided in Article 10 hereof or with

make any improvements, or do any other construction work on the Premises or
alter, modify, or make additions, improvements, or repairs to or replacements
of any structure, now existing or built at any time during the Term hereof, or
install any fixtures (other than trade fixtures removable without injury to the
Premises) which would (i) affect the structural integrity of the New Building or
existing buildings on which the work is to be performed or (ii) affect or modify
the exterior or design of the New Building or existing buildings or (iii)
interfere with or affect utility systems on the Premises (other than heating,
ventilating, and air conditioning systems installed by Tenant) or (iv) require
filing of plans with, or other approval by, the Architectural Committee. In the
event any such construction, improvement, alteration, modification, addition,
repair, or replacement is made without such approval, then, upon reasonable
notice so to do, the Tenant will remove the same, or, at the option of the
Landlord, cause the same to be changed to the satisfaction of the Landlord. In
case of any failure on the part of Tenant to comply with such notice, the
Landlord may effect the removal or change, and the Tenant shall pay the costs
thereof to the Landlord on demand and such costs and expenses shall be subject
to the provisions of Section 7.1 hereof.

      SECTION 9.1. TENANT OBLIGATIONS. Tenant shall assume and perform any and
all obligations of Landlord under any existing recorded covenants, easements,
and agreements affecting the title to the Premises and shall diligently comply
with, at its own expense during the Term hereof, all present and future laws,
acts, rules, requirements, orders, directions, ordinances, and/or regulations,
ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, concerning the Premises or
any part thereof, or the use thereof, or the streets adjacent thereto, of any
federal, state, municipal, or other public department, bureau, officer, or
authority, or other body having similar functions, or of any liability, fire, or
other insurance company having policies outstanding with respect to the
Premises, whether or not such laws, acts, rules, requirements, orders,
directions, ordinances and/or regulations require the making of structural
alterations or the use or application of portions of the Premises for compliance
therewith or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Premises, the intention
of the parties being with respect thereto that Tenant during the Term hereby
granted, shall discharge and perform all the obligations of Landlord, as well as
all obligations of Tenant, arising as aforesaid, and save Landlord harmless
therefrom, so that at all times the rental of the Premises shall be net to the
Landlord without deduction or expenses on account of any such law, act, rule,
requirement, order direction, ordinance and/or regulation whatever it may be;
provided, however, that Tenant may, in good faith (and wherever necessary, in
the name of, but without expense to and with the prior written permission of,
Landlord), contest the validity of any such law, act, rule, requirement, order,
direction, ordinance and/or regulation and, pending the determination of such
contest, may postpone compliance therewith, except that Tenant shall not so
postpone compliance therewith, as to subject Landlord to the risk of any fine or
penalty or to prosecute for a crime, or to cause the Premises or any part
thereof to be condemned or to be vacated.

      SECTION 9.2. AVIGATION REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS. Tenant acknowledges
the limitations placed upon the land and Premises by virtue of its proximity to
the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Such avigation requirements and

Prior to commencement of construction of the New Building and Landscaping,
Tenant will cause the Permitted Mortgagee who is financing construction of the
New Building and Landscaping to notify Landlord in writing that it has received
and approved the final plans and specifications for the construction thereof. In
like manner, Tenant shall submit to Landlord all amendments to said final plans
and specifications along with the written approval of such Permitted Mortgagee
to all amendments to said final plans and specifications where such approval is
required by such Mortgagee. At or prior to the completion date of the New
Building and Landscaping, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord true copies of the
final "as built" plans and specifications. The approval by Landlord or by such
Permitted Mortgagee of the plans and specifications or any other action taken by
the Landlord or such Permitted Mortgagee with respect thereto under the
provisions of this Lease shall not constitute an opinion or representation by
the Landlord or such Mortgagee as to the sufficiency of said plans and
specifications nor impose any present or future liability or responsibility upon
the Landlord or such Mortgagee.

      B. OWNERSHIP AT TERMINATION. On the expiration or sooner termination of
this Lease term (or any extension of such term), title to all buildings and
improvements, which constitute or are a part of the Premises, exclusive of trade
fixtures and personal property of Tenant and subtenants (which shall expressly
be deemed to include Tenant's flight simulators and related equipment), shall
(without the payment of compensation to Tenant or others) remain in Landlord
free and clear of all claims and encumbrances on such buildings and improvements
by Tenant, and anyone claiming under or through Tenant. Any piping, wells,
pumps, tanks or other equipment installed on the property by Tenant shall be
left in a structurally sound, nonleaking condition so as not to become the
source of any future environmental contamination or hazard. Tenant shall then
quitclaim to Landlord its possessory interest in the buildings and improvements.

against all liability and

                                       26
<PAGE>   35
loss which may arise from the assertion of any claims and any encumbrances on
such buildings and Improvements; provided, however, such duty to indemnify and
hold harmless shall not apply to any claims or encumbrances which are
attributable to the acts or conduct of the Landlord. Additionally, Tenant shall
assign to Landlord, and Landlord shall be entitled to the benefit of, any
licenses, warranties or guarantees applicable to equipment, systems, fixtures or
personal property conveyed or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of,
Landlord under this Lease. The foregoing notwithstanding, Tenant shall not
quitclaim its possessory interest in the aforementioned buildings and equipment
to Landlord until such buildings and equipment have been inspected by Landlord
and they have been determined not to present a potential environmental hazard.
This provision 10.6 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease.

      SECTION 10.7. GRANT OF EASEMENTS. Landlord and Tenant each covenant and
agree that they will, from time to time, as requested by the other, jointly
grant to governmental entities and public utility companies easements or rights
of way on, across or under the Land for utility lines and public streets, walks,
alleys and access ways to the extent such may be required for the implementation
of any approved development plan for the Premises or, so long as such easement
does not interfere with Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises, for any
other property within the Center. The word "utility" shall have the meaning
ascribed to it in Section 31.2(D) of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that
Landlord has also reserved the right to grant additional easements as further
provided in Section 31.2.

       SECTION 10.8. DRIVEWAY PARCEL. As further provided in the Authorization
to Enter City Property ("Access Agreement") executed this date by Landlord and
Tenant and attached hereto as Exhibit E, Tenant may construct a driveway across
the portion of the Option Parcel identified in Exhibits A and B as the Driveway
Parcel, for the sole purpose of providing nonexclusive access to Sky Harbor
Circle North from the Premises during the Rental Period and any Extension
Periods. Landlord may, in its discretion at any time, provide Tenant with
alternate access to Sky Harbor Circle North at a location to be determined by
Landlord, in which event a comparable driveway will be constructed at no cost to
Tenant. The term of the Access Agreement shall be concurrent with the term of
the Lease and any Renewal Periods, subject to termination if Tenant leases the
Option Parcel.

      SECTION 11.1. NO LIENS. Tenant shall not create, or suffer to be created
or to remain, and shall discharge any mechanic's, laborer's, or materialman's
lien which might be or become a lien, encumbrance, or charge upon the Premises
or any part thereof or the income therefrom and Tenant will not suffer any other
matter or thing arising out of Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises
whereby the estate, rights, and interests of Landlord in the Premises or any
part thereof might be impaired.

      The provisions of this Article 11 are not intended to limit any rights
Tenant may have under Article 4 of this Lease.

      SECTION 11.2. DISCHARGE. If any such mechanic's, laborer's, or
materialman's lien shall at any time be filed against the Premises or any part
thereof contrary to the prohibitions set forth above, Tenant, within thirty (30)
days after notice of the filing thereof, shall cause such lien to be discharged
of record by payment, deposit, bond, order of court of competent jurisdiction or
otherwise. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its action to either
satisfy or contest the lien and, if contested, of the matter's status on a
monthly basis until concluded. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien to be
discharged within the period aforesaid, then, in addition to any other right or
remedy, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same either
by paying the amount claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such
lien by deposit or by bonding. Any amount so paid by Landlord and costs and
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, shall constitute an
Additional Payment payable by Tenant and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on
demand.

      SECTION 11.3. NO IMPLIED CONSENT. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be
deemed or construed in any way as constituting Landlord's expressed or implied
authorization, consent or request to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or
materialman, architect, or consultant, for the construction or demolition of
any improvement, the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of
any materials for any improvements, alterations to or repair of the Premises or
any part thereof.

being done at the sole expense of Tenant.

purchasers or mortgagees of the same, and may enter upon the Premises, or any

without hindrance or molestation from Tenant, provided that such entry does not
interfere with Tenant's business operations and provided that Landlord shall
give Tenant at least seventy-two (72) hours written notice prior to any
inspection of any building interior. Any such inspections by Landlord will be
conducted in accordance with Tenant's security requirements.

or in its criminal law enforcement capacity, nor to any entry authorized by any
writ or warrant issued by any Court, nor to any entry authorized by any health
or welfare statute, code, ordinance, rule or regulation.

wrongful death and further including, without limitation, architects' and

            (2) any use, nonuse, possession, occupation, alteration, repair,

comply with any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in
this Lease on its part to be performed or complied with and the exercise by
Landlord of any remedy provided in this Lease with respect thereto;

            (6) any lien or claim which may be alleged to have arisen against or
on the Premises or improvements or any part thereof or any of the assets of, or
funds appropriated to, Landlord or any liability which may be asserted against
Landlord with respect thereto to

                                       31

<PAGE>   40
the extent arising, in each such case, out of the acts of Tenant, its
contractors, agents, sublessees;

            (7) any failure on the part of Tenant to keep, observe, comply with
and perform any of the terms, covenants, agreements, provisions, conditions or
limitations contained in the subleases or other contracts and agreements
affecting the Premises or improvements or any part thereof, on Tenant's part to
be kept, observed or performed;

            (8) any tax, including any tax attributable to the execution,

thereto by any cause whatsoever except to the extent caused by the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees and contractors.

      C. The obligations of Tenant under this Section shall not in any way be
affected by the absence in any case of covering insurance or by the failure or
refusal of any insurance carrier to perform any obligation on its part to be
performed under insurance policies affecting the Premises.

        D: If any claim, action or proceeding is made or brought against
Landlord by reason of any event to which reference is made in this Section,
then, upon demand by Landlord, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall

necessary, by the attorneys for Tenant's insurance carrier (if such claim,
action or proceeding is covered by insurance), otherwise by such attorneys as
Landlord shall approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may engage its own attorneys to
defend it or to assist in its defense and Tenant shall pay the reasonable fees
and disbursements of such attorneys.

                       ARTICLE 14 - DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

      SECTION 14.1. TENANT REPAIR AND RESTORATION. If, at any time during the
Term hereof, the New Building or any part thereof shall be damaged or destroyed
by fire or other occurrence of any kind or nature, ordinary or extraordinary,
foreseen or unforeseen, Tenant shall have sixty (60) days to determine whether
to restore and repair or demolish the improvements and to provide written notice
to the Landlord of its decision (the "Determination"). Subject to the provisions
of Section 14.6, if, at any time during the Term hereof, the Premises, Option
Parcel(s) or any part thereof shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other
occurrence of any kind or nature, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or
unforeseen, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, and whether or not the
insurance proceeds, if any, shall be sufficient for the purpose, shall proceed
with reasonable diligence to repair, alter, restore, replace, or rebuild the
same as nearly as possible to its value, condition, and character immediately
prior to such damage or destruction [including temporary repairs and work
necessary to protect the Premises and Option Parcel(s) from further damage].
Such repair, alteration, restoration, replacement, or rebuilding, including such
changes and alterations as aforementioned and including temporary repairs for
the protection of other property pending the completion of any thereof, are
sometimes referred to in this Article as the "Work." Tenant shall then, at its
sole cost and expense, and whether or not the insurance proceeds, if any, shall
be sufficient for the purpose, either (i) proceed with reasonable diligence to
repair, alter, restore, replace, or rebuild the same (subject to the provisions
of Section 8.4) so that the damaged portions may once more be occupied; or (ii)
in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.6, remove the damaged portion
(or the entire New Building, in Tenant's discretion) and restore the affected
portion of the Land to a safe condition.

      SECTION 14.2. PAYMENT OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS. All insurance proceeds on
account of such damage or destruction under the policies of insurance provided
for in Article 5, less the cost, if any, incurred in connection with the
adjustment of the loss and the collection thereof (herein sometimes referred to
as the "insurance proceeds") shall be paid to the Depositary. All insurance
proceeds shall be applied by the Depositary to the payment of the cost of the
Work to the extent such insurance proceeds shall be sufficient for the purpose,
and shall be paid out to or for the account of Tenant from time to time as such
Work progresses. Subject to any additional requirements or conditions set forth
in any Permitted Mortgage which are not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Lease, the Depositary shall make such payments or disbursements upon the written
request by Tenant when accompanied by the following:

                                       33

<PAGE>   42
      A. CERTIFICATES OF COSTS. A certificate dated not more than fifteen (15)
days prior to such request, signed by Tenant (by an officer, if Tenant be a
corporation) and by an architect in charge of the Work who shall be selected by
Tenant setting forth that:

            (1) The sum then requested either has been paid by Tenant or is
justly due to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, architects, or other
persons who have rendered services or furnished materials in connection with the
Work, giving a brief description of the services and materials and the several
amounts so paid or due and stating that no part thereof has been made the basis
of any previous or then pending request or has been paid out of any insurance
proceeds received by Tenant, and that the sum requested does not exceed the
value of the services and materials described in the certificate. If sums are
sought by way of reimbursement the request shall be accompanied by a lien
release; if sums are sought for payment in the first instance a lien release
shall be submitted to the Depositary within seven (7) day of disbursement by the
Depositary; and,

            (2) Except for the amount stated in such certificate to be due as
aforesaid, there is no outstanding indebtedness known to the persons signing
such certificate after due inquiry which might become the basis of a vendor,
mechanic, or materialman or similar lien upon such Work, the Premises or
Tenant's leasehold interest, or any part thereof, and

      B. SUMS PAID TO TENANT. Upon compliance with the foregoing provisions of
this Section, the Depositary, out of the insurance proceeds, shall pay or cause
to be paid to Tenant or to the persons named in the certificate the respective
amounts stated therein to have been paid by Tenant or to be due to them, as the
case may be.

      Upon receipt by the Depositary of a lien release from every contractor and
subcontractor working on the project and such other evidence satisfactory to it
of the character required by 14.2(A) that the Work is complete and paid for in
full and that there are no liens of the character referred to therein, and if
Tenant is not then in default, the Depositary shall pay to Tenant any remaining
balance of said insurance proceeds.

      C. DEFICIENCY. If the insurance proceeds received by the Depositary shall
not be sufficient to pay the entire cost of the Work, Tenant shall supply the
amount of any such deficiency. Under no circumstances shall Landlord be
obligated to make any payment, reimbursement, or contribution towards the cost
of the Work.

      SECTION 14.3. FAILURE TO COMMENCE REPAIRS. If the Work shall not have been
commenced within six (6) months from the date of the Determination, or if such
Work after

                                       34
<PAGE>   43
commencement shall not proceed expeditiously, Landlord may terminate this Lease
pursuant to Article 18. On such termination the insurance proceeds received by
the Depositary shall be paid over to the Landlord and all policies of insurance
and insurance proceeds receivable shall belong to and be retained by Landlord
without claim thereon by Tenant, but subject to the rights of any Permitted
Mortgagee as herein set forth.

      SECTION 14.4. CURE BY MORTGAGEE. If, within thirty (30) days from receipt
by First Permitted Mortgagee of Landlord's notice of any default of Tenant, the
holder of the First Permitted Mortgage or any other Permitted Mortgage moves,
either itself or through a receiver, to take possession of the Premises and
begins or continues the Work; and if, with respect to any default by Tenant
under this Lease, the right of Landlord to terminate this Lease shall not have
accrued, then the Depositary shall pay over to the holder of such Permitted
Mortgage, or to the receiver, as the case may be, the proceeds of insurance
pursuant to Section 14.2 upon receipt from the holder of such Permitted Mortgage
or such receiver of the certificates of the character required from Tenant under
Section 14.2(A).

      SECTION 14.5. LEASE OBLIGATIONS CONTINUE. In no event shall Tenant be
entitled to any abatement, allowance, reduction, or suspension of rent because
part or all of the Premises shall be untenantable owing to the partial or total
destruction thereof. No such damage or destruction shall affect in any way the
obligation of Tenant to pay the rent, Additional Payments, and other charges
herein reserved or required to be paid, nor release Tenant of or from
obligations imposed upon Tenant hereunder.

      SECTION 14.6. DAMAGE AT END OF TERM. If 50% or more of the square footage
of the structural component of the New Building is substantially damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty at any time during the last five (5) years
of the Rental Period:

      A. TENANT ELECTION TO TERMINATE. Tenant may, at its option, terminate this
Lease within sixty (60) days after such damage or destruction by serving upon
the Landlord at any time within said sixty (60) day period, a ten (10) day
written notice of Tenant's election to so terminate, accompanied by the written
consent of the holder of any Permitted Mortgage. Such notice of election and
consent shall specify the date of termination, which shall be subject to the
provisions of Article 6, at which time all Tenant's obligations to pay rent
shall cease with the exception of the Additional Payment provisions set out
below. In the event that Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, all insurance
proceeds on account of such damage or destruction under the policies of
insurance provided for in Article 5, less the cost, if any, incurred in
connection with the adjustment of the loss and the collection thereof, and the
restoration of the Land to its condition on the Commencement Date, and payment
of any

                                       35
<PAGE>   44
outstanding permanent financing used to finance construction of the New
Building, shall be paid to Landlord.

      B. ADJUSTMENT OF ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS. Upon the service of such notice and
consent, this Lease shall cease and terminate on the termination date specified
in such notice and consent with the same force and effect as if such date were
the date originally fixed for the termination hereof. With respect to any items
of Additional Payment which are payable to Landlord in the event of such
termination or which have accrued but are not yet payable at the date of
termination, but which are not then capable of ascertainment, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord an amount reasonably computed by Landlord, who will hold such
payment as trust funds until such Additional Payment becomes determined. Upon
the determination of the Additional Payment due, if there be a surplus in the
trust account, Landlord will promptly refund the surplus to Tenant; if there be
a deficit, Tenant will promptly pay the amount of such deficit to Landlord. If
as a result of any action or proceeding to obtain a reduction of Impositions
Tenant shall be entitled to a refund, the amount of such refund (less the cost
and expense of collection including reasonable attorneys' fees) when collected
by Landlord shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant, unless there remains at the
time a deficit in the trust account, or unless Tenant shall be otherwise in
default under the terms hereof. The covenants and agreements with respect to the
adjustment and payment of these items of Additional Payment shall survive the
termination hereof.

      SECTION 14.7. MUTUAL TERMINATION. In the event that, prior to the last
five (5) years of the Lease term, 50% or more of the square footage of the
structural component of the New Building is damaged or destroyed by fire or
other casualty, Tenant may request that Landlord consent to termination of 'this
Lease in the manner provided in Section 14.6 above.

                         (This is the end of Article 14)

                           ARTICLE 15 -- CONDEMNATION

      SECTION 15.1. TOTAL, SUBSTANTIAL, OR UNUSABLE REMAINDER.

      A. IF AT ANY TIME DURING THE TERM OF THIS LEASE:

            (1) Total or Substantial. Title to the whole or substantially all of
the Premises which, for the purpose of this Article 15, shall mean 25% or more
of the square footage of the structural component of the New Building, shall be
taken in condemnation proceedings or by any right of eminent domain or by
agreement in lieu of such proceedings, this Lease shall terminate and expire on
the date of such taking and the Net Rent and Additional Payments reserved shall
be apportioned and paid to the date of such taking; or

            (2) Remainder Unusable for Purposes Leased. Title to a substantial
portion of the Premises shall be taken in condemnation proceedings or by any
right of eminent domain or by agreement in lieu of such proceeding, and the
remaining part of the Premises cannot feasibly be used or converted for use by
Tenant for the uses set forth in Section 8.2 hereof, Tenant may, at its option,
terminate this Lease within ninety (90) days after such taking by serving upon
Landlord at any time within said ninety (90) day period, a thirty (30) day
written notice of Tenant's election to so terminate accompanied by a certificate
of Tenant that the remaining part of the Premises cannot feasibly be used or
converted for use by Tenant as contemplated in Section 8.2 hereof.

            B. DEMOLITION--AWARD. In the event of such taking and the
termination of this Lease:

            (1) The Landlord shall first be entitled to receive such portion of
said award or awards with the interest thereon as shall represent compensation
for the value of the Land, or the part thereof so taken, considered as improved
vacant land unencumbered by this lease and such portion of such award or awards,
with the interest thereon, if separately stated in the award or the decree as
shall represent consequential damages, if any, to the portion of the Land not so
taken, considered as improved vacant land unencumbered by this Lease plus an
amount equal to the estimated cost of demolition and removal of the untaken
portion of the Building (unless such cost shall have been included in the
consequential damages above mentioned);

            (2) The remaining balance of the award shall be divided by the
number of years in the full lease term with Tenant receiving a sum equal to the
quotient times the

                                       37
<PAGE>   46
number of years remaining on the lease and Landlord receiving the balance after
payment of any outstanding permanent financing used to finance construction of
the New Building.

      SECTION 15.2. PARTIAL TAKING -- LEASE CONTINUES. In the event of any such
taking of less than the whole or substantially all of the Premises and, if such
taking is not of the character described in Section 15.1(A)(2) (or if such
taking is of such character and the option of Tenant to terminate this Lease is
not exercised), the Term of this Lease shall not be reduced or affected in any
way, and

      A. LANDLORD ENTITLEMENT. The Landlord shall first be entitled to receive
and shall be paid the portion of such award or awards, with the interest
thereon, as shall represent compensation for the value of the Land, or the part
thereof so taken, considered as improved vacant land unencumbered by this Lease
and such portion of such award or awards, with the interest thereon, if
separately stated in the award or the decree as shall represent consequential
damages, if any, to the portion of the Land not so taken, considered as improved
vacant land unencumbered by this Lease.

      B. AWARD PAYMENT. The award or awards (herein sometimes referred to as
"Condemnation Proceeds") shall be deposited with the Depositary for disbursement
to Landlord and Tenant pursuant to this lease.

      C. RESTORATION OF REMAINDER. If the remaining part of the Premises can
feasibly be used or converted for use by Tenant as contemplated in Section 8.2
hereof, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense and whether or not the Condemnation
Proceeds payable after disbursement to Landlord under Section 15.2(A) shall be
sufficient for the purpose, shall proceed with reasonable diligence to repair,
alter (including any necessary demolition and reconstruction) and restore the
remaining part of the Premises to substantially their former condition, so as to
be complete, rentable and usable and of the quality provided for in this Lease
and the Design Guidelines for the original construction of the affected
buildings. If the remaining part of the Premises cannot feasibly be used or
converted for use by Tenant as provided in Section 8.2, Tenant, at its sole cost
and expense, shall proceed with due diligence to repair, alter (including any
necessary demolition and reconstruction) and restore the remaining part of the
Premises so as to constitute a complete, rentable building for a purpose deemed
appropriate by Landlord in the manner hereinafter provided in this subsection
(C); provided, however, that not less than sixty (60) days prior to proceeding
with any such repairs, alterations, or restoration, Tenant shall have given
written notice to the Landlord certifying that the remaining part of the
Premises cannot feasibly be used or converted for use by Tenant as

                                       38
<PAGE>   47
contemplated in Section 8.2 hereof and requesting approval of a new use, and
Landlord shall have approved in writing such restoration and new use.

      Such repairs, alterations, or restoration, including such changes and
alterations as above mentioned and including temporary repairs, or the
protection of other property pending the completion of any thereof, are
sometimes referred to in this Section as the Work;

      D. PAYOUTS BY DEPOSITARY. After the Condemnation Proceeds are deposited
with the Depositary under the provisions of Section 15.2(B), the Depositary
shall first pay over to Landlord those sums required under Section 15.2(A) and
then shall hold, apply, make available and, subject to any additional
requirements or conditions set forth in any Permitted Mortgage which are not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Lease, pay over to Tenant the remaining
Condemnation Proceeds in the same manner as is provided with respect to
insurance proceeds under the provisions of Section 14.2, and provided that upon
the completion and payment of the cost of the Work, the remaining balance of the
Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid to Tenant.

      E. REDUCTION OF NET RENT. The Net Rent payable for that part of the
balance of the Term hereof occurring prior to the termination of the Lease,
effective as of the date of such partial taking, shall be based on the remaining
square footage of leased Land at the prevailing Adjusted Net Rent rate. The
Adjusted Net Rent shall thereafter be adjusted as provided in Section 3.1(A)(3)
hereof.

      F. INTERIM RENT PAYMENT. Until the amount of the Net Rent payable under
Section 15.3 shall have been ascertained, Tenant shall continue to pay to
Landlord during the interim period the Net Rent and Additional Payments as
herein provided. If the Net Rent paid during such interim period shall be more
or less than the amount of the Net Rent as thereafter ascertained, within thirty
(30) days after the amount of such Net Rent shall have been ascertained, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, the amount of such deficiency or, if there has been an
overpayment the amount thereof shall be credited by Landlord to Tenant's next
occurring rental payment(s).

      SECTION 15.3. DIVISION OF AWARD. If the order or decree in any
condemnation or similar proceeding shall fail separately to state the amount to
be awarded to the Landlord and the amount to be awarded to the Tenant under the
provisions of Sections 15.1 or 15.2 hereof, by way of compensation, damages,
rent, the cost of demolition, removal or restoration or otherwise, and if the
Landlord and the Tenant cannot agree thereon within thirty (30) days after the
final award or awards shall have been fixed and determined, the value shall be
determined by

                                       39
<PAGE>   48
using the following valuation process: Landlord and Tenant, at their respective
costs and by notice to the other, shall each appoint a qualified real estate
appraiser with at least five (5) years, full-time commercial appraisal
experience in Maricopa County to appraise and set the fair market value of the
Land (as improved vacant land), upon which the New Buildings and parking areas
have been constructed, as of the day of the taking. If a party does not appoint
an appraiser within ten (10) days after the other party has given notice of the
name of its appraiser, the single appraiser appointed shall be the sole
appraiser and shall set the fair market value of the Land. If the two appraisers
are appointed by the parties as stated in this paragraph, they shall meet
promptly and attempt to arrive at the fair market value of the Land. If the two
appraisers are unable to agree on the fair market value of the Land within
thirty (30) days after the second appraiser has been appointed, they shall
attempt to elect a third appraiser meeting the qualifications stated in this
paragraph within ten (10) days thereafter. If the two appraisers are unable to
agree on the third appraiser, either of the parties to this Lease on ten (10)
days notice to the other party may apply to the president of the Arizona Chapter
of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers or any successor association
or body of comparable standing if such institute is not then in existence or a
court of competent jurisdiction for the selection of a third appraiser who meets
the qualifications stated in this paragraph. Each of the parties shall bear
one-half (1/2) of the cost of appointing the third appraiser and the third
appraiser's fee.

      Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third appraiser, a
majority of the appraisers shall determine the fair market value of the Land. If
a majority of the appraisers are unable to determine the fair market value of
the Land within the stipulated period of time, the three appraisals of fair
market value shall be added together and the sum shall be divided by three and
the resulting quotient shall be the fair market value of the Land. If, however,
the low and/or high appraisal of fair market value is more than fifteen percent
(15%) lower and/or higher than the middle appraisal of fair market value, the
low and/or the high appraisal shall be disregarded. Then the remaining two
appraisals of fair market value shall be added together and the sum shall be
divided by two, and the resulting quotient shall be the fair market value of the
Land. If both the low and the high appraisals are disregarded as stated in this
subsection (2), the middle appraisal shall constitute the fair market value of
the Land. In establishing the fair market value of the Land, the appraisers
shall appraise the Land as improved vacant land without regard to the
improvements located thereon. The fair market value of the Land shall be
determined by the appraisers as of the date of the taking.

      SECTION 15.4. RIGHTS OF PARTICIPATION. Each party shall have the right, at
its own expense, to appear in any condemnation proceeding and participate in any
and all hearings, trials, and appeals therein.

      SECTION 15.5. NOTICE OF PROCEEDING. In the event Landlord or Tenant shall
receive notice of any proposed or pending condemnation proceedings affecting the
Premises, the party receiving such notice shall promptly notify the other party
of the receipt and contents thereof.

                     ARTICLE 16 - SUBTENANT NON-DISTURBANCE

      SECTION 16.1. AGREEMENT FOR NON-DISTURBANCE OF SUBTENANTS. Landlord
covenants and agrees, for the benefit of any subtenant, that Landlord shall
recognize the subtenant as the direct tenant of Landlord upon the termination of
this Lease pursuant to any of the provisions of Article 18 hereof if (a) all
Mortgagees shall have agreed in writing substantially to the effect that they
will not join the subtenant as a party defendant in any foreclosure action or
proceeding which may be instituted or taken by said Mortgagees, nor evict the
subtenant from the portion of the Premises demised to it, nor affect any of the
subtenant's rights under its sublease by reason of any default under any
Mortgage, or (b) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate of an
independent real estate appraiser who is a member of the American Institute of
Appraisers, or such other similar organization, reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord, stating, in substance, that the rent payable by the subtenant under
its sublease, after taking into account any credits, offsets, or deductions to
which the subtenant may be entitled thereunder, constitutes not less than the
then fair rental value of the space demised thereunder; provided, however, that
at the time of the termination of this Lease (i) no default exists under the
subtenant's sublease which at such time would then permit the landlord
thereunder to terminate the same or to exercise any dispossess remedy provided
for therein, and (ii) the subtenant shall deliver to Landlord an instrument
confirming the agreement of such subtenant to attorn to Landlord and to
recognize Landlord as the subtenant's landlord under its sublease, which
instrument shall provide that neither Landlord, nor anyone claiming by, through
or under Landlord shall be:

      A. liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including,
without limitation, the then defaulting landlord), or

      B. subject to any offsets or defenses which the subtenant may have against
any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting
landlord), or

      C. bound by any payment of rent which the subtenant might have paid for
more than the current month to any prior landlord (including, without
limitation, the then defaulting landlord), or

      D. bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction of the
Premises or any portion thereof demised by said sublease, or

      E. bound by any obligation to make any payment to the subtenant, or

                                       42
<PAGE>   51
      F. bound by any modification of the sublease which reduces the basic rent,
Additional Payments, supplemental rent or other charges payable under the
sublease, or shortens the term thereof, or otherwise materially adversely
affects the rights of the landlord thereunder, made without the written consent
of Landlord.

                        (This is the end of Article 16)

                 ARTICLE 17 -- ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING, MORTGAGE

      SECTION 17.1. PRIOR CONSENT-PERMITTED SUBLEASES. With the exception of an
assignment or sublease for a use permitted by Section 8.2 above to either an
entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant or in
which Tenant is a general partner, manager, equity member or managing member, or
to any entity existing or formed for the purpose of effecting a "sale/leaseback"
transaction as a method of financing the construction and operation of any
approved improvements on the Premises, Tenant shall not assign, sublease,
mortgage, pledge, encumber or in any manner transfer this Lease or any part
thereof, or the interest of Tenant in any sublease or the rentals thereunder,
without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which shall be
given or withheld in Landlord's reasonable discretion, and any attempt to
assign, sublease, mortgage, pledge or encumber without the prior written consent
of Landlord shall be void except as is permitted under the provisions of
Sections 17.6, 17.7, or 17.10 except that the assignment of this Lease by Tenant
to another person or entity, and the subsequent re-assignment of this Lease by
such person or entity to Tenant, in each case solely for the purpose of causing
such person or entity to execute and deliver a Permitted Mortgage, or to receive
a construction advance thereunder, shall not require the consent of Landlord.
Partial assignments shall not be permitted. This covenant shall apply to the
subletting of space in the Premises for any purpose not expressly permitted by
Section 8.2 this Lease. Additionally:

      A. Each sublease shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and the
rights of Landlord hereunder, and the rights of a Permitted Mortgagee as
provided for in this Lease.

      B. Any violation of any provision of this Lease, whether by act or
omission by a subtenant, shall be deemed a violation of such provision by
Tenant, it being the intention and meaning of the parties that Tenant shall
assume and be liable to Landlord for any and all acts and omissions of any and
all subtenants with respect to this Lease.

      C. Each such sublease shall provide that in the event such Lease (or any
new lease made pursuant to Section 17.11) is terminated, the subtenant will
attorn to Landlord if Landlord shall accept such attornment upon such
termination.

      SECTION 17.2. RENT FROM ASSIGNEE. If this Lease is assigned, whether or
not in violation of the provisions hereof, Landlord may and hereby is empowered
to collect rent from the assignee. In such event, Landlord may apply the net
amount received by it to Net Rent and Additional Payments, and no such
collection shall be deemed a waiver of the covenant herein against assignment,
or an acceptance of the assignee or subtenant as a Tenant under this

                                       44
<PAGE>   53
Lease, or a release of Tenant from the further performance of the covenants
herein contained on the part of Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed
to prohibit Tenant from assigning its interest in this Lease or its interest as
sublessor in any subleases to the holder of any Permitted Mortgage as further
security for the indebtedness outstanding under such Mortgage.

      SECTION 17.3. CONTINUING LIABILITY. Unless expressly agreed to in writing
by Landlord, the making of any assignment in whole or in part, shall not operate
to relieve Tenant from its obligations under this Lease and, notwithstanding any
such assignment, except as otherwise provided in this Article, Tenant shall
remain liable for the payment of all Net Rent and Additional Payments and for
the due performance of all the covenants, agreements, terms, and provisions of
this Lease to the full end of the Term hereof, whether or not there shall have
been any prior termination of this lease by summary proceedings or otherwise.

      SECTION 17.4. ASSIGNEE BOUND. Every assignee, whether as assignee or as
successor in interest of any assignee of Tenant herein named or as assignee of
the holder of any Permitted Mortgage, or as successor in interest of any
assignee, including any purchaser of the Lease under a foreclosure of any
Permitted Mortgage, shall immediately be and become and remain liable for the
payment of Net Rent and Additional Payments, and for the due performance of all
the covenants, agreements, terms, and provisions hereof on Tenant's part to be
performed to the end of the Term hereof, except as hereinafter provided in this
Section, and every provision of this Lease applicable to Tenant shall apply to
and bind every such assignee and purchaser with the same force and effect as
though such assignee or purchaser were the Tenant named in this Lease. No
transfer to such assignee or to such purchaser shall be binding upon Landlord
unless such assignee or purchaser shall deliver to the Landlord a recordable
instrument which contains a covenant of assumption by said assignee or purchaser
to such effect, but the failure or refusal of such assignee or purchaser to
deliver such instrument shall not release or discharge such assignee or
purchaser from its obligations and liability as above set forth.

      SECTION 17.5. CONSENT LIMITED. Any consent by Landlord herein contained or
hereafter given to any act of assignment, shall be held to apply only to the
specific transaction hereby or thereby approved. Such consent shall not be
construed as a waiver of the duty of Tenant, or its successors or assigns, to
obtain from the Landlord a consent to any other or subsequent assignment, or as
a modification or limitation of the right of Landlord with respect to the
foregoing covenant by Tenant.

                                       45

      SECTION 17.6. PERMITTED MORTGAGES--CONDITIONS OF. Tenant from time to time
during the Term of this Lease may make one or more Permitted Mortgages, provided
that:

      A. Each Permitted Mortgage shall cover no interests in real property other
than Tenant's interest in the Premises and the subleases;

      B. Tenant or the holder of such Permitted Mortgage shall promptly deliver
to Landlord in the manner herein provided for the giving of notice to Landlord,
a true copy of the Permitted Mortgage(s), of any assignment thereof, and of the
satisfaction thereof; and

      C. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Landlord, each Permitted
Mortgage shall contain provisions permitting the disposition and application of
the insurance proceeds and Condemnation Awards in the manner provided in this
Lease.

      D. Landlord agrees to negotiate in good faith to amend this Lease to
include commercially reasonable Permitted Mortgagee protection provisions which
may be necessary to secure financing for the construction of the New Building,
provided that the requested modifications do not adversely affect any rights of
Landlord or materially alter the terms and conditions of this Lease, all as
determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion.

      SECTION 17.7. MORTGAGES--PROVISIONS. With respect to any Permitted
Mortgage made in accordance with the provisions of Section 17.6, the following
provisions shall apply:

      A.  For the purposes of the Notice requirements of this Article, the term
"Permitted Mortgagee" shall mean only the holder of the outstanding Permitted
Mortgage that is the first to be recorded in the office of the Maricopa County
Recorder and who also gives Landlord a written request for notice of default and
a current address where such notice may be sent (also sometimes referred to
herein as the "First Permitted Mortgagee of Record").

      B. For the purpose of this Section the making of a Permitted Mortgage
shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment or transfer of this Lease, nor
shall any holder of a Permitted Mortgage, as such, be deemed an assignee or
transferee of this Lease or of the leasehold estate hereby created so as to
require such holder of a Permitted Mortgage, as such, to assume the performance
of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions on the part of Tenant to be
performed hereunder; but the purchaser at any sale of this Lease in any
proceedings for the foreclosure of any Permitted Mortgage, or the assignee or
transferee of this Lease under any instrument of assignment or transfer in lieu
of the foreclosure of any Permitted Mortgage, shall be deemed to be an assignee
or transferee within the meaning of this Section

                                       46
<PAGE>   55
and shall be deemed to have assumed the performance of all the terms, covenants,
and conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder from and after
the date of such purchase and assignment.

      SECTION 17.8. NOTICE OF MORTGAGEES. So long as any Permitted Mortgage
shall remain a lien on Tenant's leasehold estate hereunder, Landlord agrees,
simultaneously with the giving of any notice required by Section 18.1 or Section
18.2 of this Lease to Tenant (i) of default, or (ii) of a termination hereof, to
give duplicate copies thereof or of any process in any action or proceeding
brought to terminate or to otherwise in any way affect this Lease, to the
Permitted Mortgagee as defined in Section 17.7(a) only, and no such notice to
Tenant or process shall be effective unless a copy of such notice is given to
the Permitted Mortgagee in the manner herein provided. Concurrently with Tenant,
the Permitted Mortgagee will have the same period after receipt of the aforesaid
notice by Tenant to remedy the default or cause the same to be remedied plus
twenty (20) days thereafter; and Landlord agrees to accept such performance on
the part of the Permitted Mortgagee or the holder of any Permitted Mortgage as
though the same had been done or performed by Tenant.

      SECTION 17.9. MORTGAGEE CURES. Landlord will take no action to effect a
termination of this Lease by reasons of any default without first giving to the
First Permitted Mortgagee of Record a reasonable time within which either (i) to
obtain possession of the Premises (including possession by a receiver) and
thereafter to cure such default if the default be one which can be cured with
the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Permitted Mortgagee, or (ii) to
institute foreclosure proceedings and to complete such foreclosure, or otherwise
to acquire Tenant's interest under this Lease with diligence and without
unreasonable delay in the case of a default which cannot be cured with the
exercise of reasonable diligence by the Permitted Mortgagee. In either such
case, the default of which notice shall have been given shall be deemed cured.
The Permitted Mortgagee shall not be required to continue such foreclosure
proceedings if the default shall be cured by Tenant; provided, further, that
nothing herein shall preclude Landlord from exercising any rights or remedies
under this Lease with respect to any other default by Tenant during any period
of such forbearance. In the event that the First Permitted Mortgagee obtains
possession of the Premises pursuant to the provisions of this Section, Landlord
agrees that, notwithstanding the use restrictions set forth in the second
sentence of Section 8.2, with prior approval by Landlord of the proposed use,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Premises may be used for
any purpose not prohibited under this Lease. Landlord acknowledges that it would
be unreasonable to withhold its approval of a use which is the same as or is
substantially similar to an existing use within the center which was previously
approved by Landlord.

                                       47
<PAGE>   56
      SECTION 17.10. CONDITIONS OF CURE. The provisions of Section 17.9 are
conditioned on the following:

      A. Permitted Mortgagee notifying Landlord of its election to proceed with
due diligence promptly to acquire possession of the Premises or to foreclose the
Permitted Mortgage or otherwise to extinguish Tenant's interest in this Lease;
and

      B. Permitted Mortgagee delivering to Landlord an instrument in writing
duly executed and acknowledged wherein such Permitted Mortgagee agrees that:

            (1) During the period that such Permitted Mortgagee shall be in
possession of the Premises and so long as it remains in possession and/or during
the pendency of any such foreclosure or other proceedings and until the interest
of Tenant in this Lease shall terminate or such proceeding shall be discontinued
as provided in this Section, as the case may be, it will pay or cause to be
promptly paid to Landlord all sums that are then due or that may, from time to
time, become due hereunder for Net Rent or Additional Payments; and

            (2) If delivery of possession of the Premises shall be made to such
Permitted Mortgagee, whether voluntarily or pursuant to any foreclosure, other
proceedings or otherwise, such Permitted Mortgagee shall, promptly following
such delivery of possession, perform all the covenants and agreements herein
contained on Tenant's part to be performed (including but not limited to payment
of Net Rent and Additional Payments) to the extent that Tenant shall have failed
to perform the same to the date of delivery of possession, as aforesaid.

      SECTION 17.11. NEW LEASE WITH MORTGAGEE. In the event of the termination
of this Lease prior to its stated expiration date, Landlord agrees that it will
give the Permitted Mortgagee notice of such termination and will enter into a
new lease of the Premises with such permitted Mortgagee or, at the request of
such Permitted Mortgagee, with its previously approved (by Landlord) assignee,
designee, or nominee for the remainder of the Term effective as of the date of
such termination, upon the same covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, and
limitations herein contained, provided (i) such Permitted Mortgagee makes
written request upon Landlord for such new lease within thirty (30) days after
the Landlord's giving notice of termination and such written request is
accompanied by payment to Landlord of all amounts then due to Landlord of which
Landlord shall have given the Permitted Mortgagee notice, (ii) such Permitted
Mortgagee pays or causes to be paid to Landlord at the time of the execution and
delivery of such new lease any and all additional sums which, would at the time
of the execution and delivery thereof be due under this Lease but for such
termination and

                                        48
<PAGE>   57
pays or causes to be paid any and all expenses, including reasonable attorney's
fees, court costs, and costs and disbursements incurred by Landlord in
connection with any such termination and in connection with the execution and
delivery of such new lease, less the net income from the Premises collected by
Landlord subsequent to the date of the termination of this Lease and prior to
the execution and delivery of such new lease. If Landlord receives more than one
written request in accordance with the provisions of this Section, Landlord
shall only be required to deliver the new lease to the Permitted Mortgagee whose
Permitted Mortgage is prior in lien to any and all other Permitted Mortgages
whose holders have made such request, and the written request, and its rights
hereunder, of any holder of a Permitted Mortgage which is subordinate in lien
shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Landlord may rely upon the
certificate of any title insurance company authorized to do business in Arizona
in determining which Permitted Mortgage is prior in lien to all others. The
provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Lease and shall
continue in full force and effect thereafter to the same extent as if this
Section were a separate and independent contract among Landlord, Tenant, and
Permitted Mortgagee. Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises, subject
to any outstanding third party claims, and shall assign to the new Lease Tenant
all subleases remaining in the Building which have not been terminated by
Landlord or otherwise.

      SECTION 17.12. PRIORITY OF NEW LEASE. Any new lease made pursuant to the
preceding Section shall be prior to any mortgage or other lien, charge, or
encumbrance on the fee of the Premises or on this Lease, and the priority of
such new lease shall date back to the date of execution of this Lease.

      SECTION 17.13. ASSIGNMENT OF SUBLEASES. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord,
effective upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, and so long as
such Default remains uncured, as collateral security for the performance of all
obligations of Tenant under this Lease, any sublease created by Tenant and each
and every amendment, modification, or extension thereof. In no event shall such
assignment impose upon Landlord any duty or obligation to perform any of the
obligations of Tenant as landlord under any such lease or subleases. After
default by Tenant, Landlord may collect the rents and subrents from any and all
subtenants or occupants and apply the net amount collected to the Net Rent and
Additional Payments, but no such collection by Landlord will be deemed to be a
waiver of any agreement, term, covenant, or condition of this Lease by Landlord,
nor the acceptance by Landlord of any subtenant or occupant, as Tenant. The
assignment in this Section shall be subordinate to any assignment of rents to a
Permitted Mortgagee.

<PAGE>   58
      SECTION 17.14. LANDLORD'S LIEN WAIVER. At Tenant's request, Landlord
agrees to execute a form of landlord's lien waiver with respect to Tenant's
financing of any personal property located on the .Premises, subject to
Landlord's review and approval of any such landlord's lien waiver form.

                         (This is the end of Article 17)

                         ARTICLE 18 - DEFAULT BY TENANT

         Section 18.1. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The happening of any one of the
following events (herein called "Events of Default") shall be considered a
material breach and default by Tenant under this Lease.

         A. MONETARY DEFAULT. If default shall be made in the due and punctual
payment of any Net Rent or Additional Payments within twenty (20) days after
written notice thereof to Tenant;

         B. NON-MONETARY DEFAULT. If default shall be made by Tenant in the
performance of or compliance with any of the covenants, agreements, terms,
limitations, or conditions hereof other than those referred to in the foregoing
subsection (A), and such default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days
after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant (provided, that if Tenant
proceeds with due diligence during such thirty (30) day period to substantially
cure such default and is unable by reason of the nature of the work involved, to
cure the same within the required thirty (30) days, its time to do so shall be
extended by the time reasonably necessary to cure the same as determined by
Landlord); or

         C. BANKRUPTCY, VOLUNTARY. If Tenant shall file a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or shall take the
benefit of any relevant legislation that may be in force for bankrupt or
insolvent debtors or shall file any petition or answer seeking any
reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution
or similar relief for itself under any present or future federal, state, or
other statute, law or regulation, or if Tenant shall seek or consent to or
acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or
of all or any substantial part of its properties, or shall make any general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

         D. BANKRUPTCY, INVOLUNTARY. If a petition shall be filed against Tenant
seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal, state, or
other statute, law or regulation, and shall remain undismissed or unstayed for
ninety (90) days, of if any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant, or of all
or substantial part of its properties, shall be appointed without the consent or
acquiescence of Tenant and such appointment shall remain unvacated and unstayed
for ninety (90) days.

         E. INSURANCE, LAPSE OR TERMINATION. Notwithstanding the provisions of
paragraph B, above, the lapse or cancellation of any policy of insurance
required herein, in

                                       51
<PAGE>   60
whole or in part for the benefit of Landlord, shall be an event of default. No
cure of such default can be accomplished unless a new or renewed policy is
issued which specifically provides the required coverage to the Landlord for any
liability arising during the lapsed or previously uncovered period.

         Section 18.2. NOTICE AND TERMINATION. Upon the occurrence of one or
more of the events listed in Section 18.1 the Landlord at any time thereafter,
but not after such default is cured, may give written notice ("Second Notice")
to Tenant specifying such Event(s) of Default and stating that this Lease and
the Term hereby demised shall expire and terminate on the date specified in such
notice, which shall be at least fifteen (15) calendar days after the giving of
such Second Notice, and upon the date specified in such Second Notice, subject
to the provisions of Article 17 or of Section 18.4, this Lease and the Term
hereby demised and all rights of Tenant under this Lease shall expire and
terminate as though such date were the date originally set forth herein for the
termination hereof.

         SECTION 18.3. RELETTING. At any time after any expiration or
termination of this Lease as provided in this Article or by summary proceedings,
ejectment or otherwise, Landlord shall use its best efforts to relet the
Premises or any part thereof, in the name of Landlord. It being understood that
if other suitable parcels are available, Landlord is not required to relet the
subject property first.

         Section 18.4. TENANT LIABILITY CONTINUES. No such expiration or
termination of this Lease shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations
under this Lease, and such liability and obligations shall survive any such
expiration or termination. In the event of any such expiration or termination,
whether or not the Premises or any part thereof shall have been relet, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord the Net Rent and Additional Payments required to be paid
by Tenant up to the time of such expiration or termination of this Lease, and
thereafter Tenant, until the end of what would have been the Term of this Lease
in the absence of such expiration or termination, shall be liable to Landlord
for, and shall pay to Landlord, as and for the liquidated and agreed current
damages for Tenant's default:

         The equivalent of the amount of the Net Rent and Additional Payments
which would be payable hereunder by Tenant if this Lease were still in effect,
less the net proceeds of any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of
Section 18.3 after deducting all Landlord's expenses in connection with such
reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage
commissions, legal expenses, reasonable attorney's fees, alteration costs, and
expenses of preparation for such reletting, which shall be due and payable to
Landlord on the

                                       52
<PAGE>   61
days on which the Net Rent and Additional Payments would have been payable
under this Lease if this Lease were still in effect.

         SECTION 18.5. NO IMPLIED WAIVERS. No failure by Landlord to insist upon
the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition hereof or
to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach hereof, and no
acceptance of full or partial rent during the continuance of any such breach,
shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such covenant, agreement,
term or condition. No covenant, agreement, term or condition hereof to be
performed or complied with by Landlord or Tenant, and no breach thereof, shall
be waived, altered or modified, except by a written instrument executed by the
party to be charged therewith. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter
this Lease, but each and every covenant, agreement, term, limitation and
condition hereof shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any
other then existing or subsequent breach hereof.

         Section 18.6. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. In the event of any breach by Tenant
of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions hereof, Landlord, in
addition to any and all other rights, shall be entitled to enjoin such breach
and shall have the right to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in
equity or by statute or otherwise for such breach as though reentry, summary
proceedings, and other remedies were not provided for in this Lease. In the
event of Tenant's failure to pay Net Rent or Additional Payments on the date
when due, Tenant shall pay Landlord interest on any such overdue payments and
associated late charges at the rate of two percent (2%) per month, but in no
event an amount greater than permitted by law, but this shall in no way limit
any claim for damages for Landlord for any breach or default by Tenant.

         SECTION 18.7. LATE CHARGE. In the event that any payment required to be
made by Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease is not received within
ten (10) days after the due date thereof, a late charge shall become immediately
due and payable as an Additional Payment in an amount equal to two and one-half
percent (2.5%) of the late payment.

                        ARTICLE 19 - DEFAULT BY LANDLORD

         Section 19.1. LIMITATIONS OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. The term "Landlord,"
as used herein, so far as Landlord's covenants and agreements hereunder are
concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners of the
fee title to the Premises or those having the right of immediate possession in a
pending condemnation action at the time in question.

                                       53
<PAGE>   62
In the event of any conveyance of such title, and regardless of whether the
grantee is financially responsible or solvent and notwithstanding that the
grantor may be a stockholder, officer or director of a corporate grantee,
Landlord herein named and each subsequent grantor shall be automatically
relieved, from and after the date of such conveyance, of all personal liability
as respects the performance of any of Landlord's covenants and agreements
thereafter to be performed, and such grantee shall be bound by all such
covenants and agreements; it being intended that Landlord's covenants and
agreements shall be binding on Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during
and in respect of their successive periods of ownership.

         Section 19.2. Remedies. In the event of any breach by Landlord of any
of the covenants, agreements, terms, or conditions hereof, Tenant, in addition
to any and all other rights, shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and shall
have the right to invoke any right and remedy allowed at law or in equity or by
statute or otherwise for such breach.

                        ARTICLE 20 - UNENFORCEABLE TERMS

         Section 20.1. PROVISIONS SEVERABLE. If any term or provision hereof or
the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of
such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which
it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each
term and provision hereof shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent
permitted by law.

purposes hereunder only upon actual receipt by the addressee after it shall be
mailed by receipt requested, upon personal delivery, or upon delivery by

         Section 21.2. NOTICE TO FIRST PERMITTED MORTGAGEE OF RECORD ONLY. When,
under the terms of this Lease, any Notice is required or permitted to be given
to a Permitted Mortgagee it is the intention of the parties that such notice
shall only be required to be given to the First Permitted Mortgagee of Record.
Notice to other Permitted Mortgagees shall be the responsibility of Tenant.
Should Tenant fail to give notice to other Permitted Mortgagees,

                                       56
<PAGE>   65
such failure shall not affect the validity of any action taken by Landlord. This
provision takes precedence over any other provisions of this Lease that may

Land is located within a single central business district designated by Landlord
as the Sky Harbor Center Tax Incentive District, an area within the Sky Harbor
Center Redevelopment Area and which Landlord has determined by Resolution No.
18260, approved by the Phoenix City Council on October 25, 1993, to be in need
of incentives to encourage private investments in the construction of new
improvements. It is further acknowledged by Landlord that the improvements to be
made to the Land pursuant to this Lease will result in an increase in its value
of at least one hundred percent (100%) from the date of Tenant's possession of
the Land pursuant to this Lease to the date of Landlord's issuance to the Tenant
of a Certificate of Occupancy for the New Building. Accordingly, it is the
intent of the parties that, pursuant to the provisions of Arizona Revised
Statutes Section 42-6209 or any applicable substitute legislation which may
hereafter be enacted, Tenant shall not be required to pay any lease excise tax
upon the New Building for the eight (8) year period commencing with the issuance
of a Certificate of Occupancy for the New Building.

         In addition to the Net Rent and Additional Payments payable by Tenant
under this Lease (including but not limited to items set forth in Articles 3 and
4), Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the term of this Lease beginning in the
ninth year after title to the New Building vests in Landlord, for each Lease
Year during which there is no lease excise or ad valorem property tax upon the
New Building, a PILOT in an amount equal to what the lease excise tax would have
been on the New Building had the New Building been subject to bearing such tax.

         The PILOT to be paid Landlord during any Lease Year shall be due on the
date provided by law to be the date after which property tax payments to the
Maricopa County Tax Collector become delinquent. If Tenant is required to pay
any ad valorem property tax or lease excise tax upon a parcel, which is a
component of the property tax, all such taxes shall be subtracted from the PILOT
due hereunder for that parcel.

         Section 28.2. TRAVEL REDUCTION PROGRAMS. Tenant and all subtenants
shall comply with any applicable requirements of Arizona Revised Statutes
Sections 49-581, et seq., to develop and implement a travel reduction plan to
encourage employees to use public transit, rideshare, walk or ride a bike for
their commute to and from work at Phoenix Sky Harbor Center. The implemented
program shall include provision of preferential parking spaces for car and
vanpoolers.

         B. FILING FEE. As a means of defraying its expenses, the Architectural
Committee may require a reasonable filing fee to accompany each Application.

         C. BASIS FOR APPROVAL. The Architectural Committee shall have the right
to disapprove any Application submitted to it if the Application is incomplete
or otherwise inadequate in the judgment of the Architectural Committee to allow
a decision, or if the proposed New Buildings: (i) are not, in conformance with
this Lease or the Design Standards Manual; (ii) are not in compliance with
applicable governmental requirements; or (iii) are deemed by the Architectural
Committee not to be in the best interests of the Center. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Architectural Committee may base its approval or disapproval on
criteria established by it which may include but are not limited to the
following: building locations and dimensions relative to the Parcels within the
Land; adequacy of the parking to be provided; conformity and harmony of external
design with neighboring structures and the general character of the Center
intended by Landlord; effect of location and use of proposed New Buildings on
neighboring Parcels and the types of operations and uses thereof; relation of
topography, grade and finish ground elevation on the Parcels within the Land and
relative to neighboring Parcels; proper facing of main elevation with respect to
nearby streets; adequacy of screening of trash facilities and mechanical,
air-conditioning or rooftop installations; adequacy of landscaping; and
conformity of the Application to the purpose and general plan and intent of this
Lease and the Design Guidelines. The Architectural Committee may grant or deny
approval of Applications submitted to it for any reason in its sole and absolute
discretion, and the decision of the Architectural Committee shall be final. The
Architectural Committee may revoke any approval if it determines that such
approval was induced by or resulted from inaccurate or incomplete information
submitted to the Architectural Committee in connection with the Application
thereof.

         D. RESULT OF INACTION. The Architectural Committee shall approve or
disapprove any Application within sixty (60) days after receipt thereof. If the
Architectural Committee fails either to approve or disapprove any Application
within said sixty (60) day period, such Application shall be deemed disapproved.

         E. PROCEEDING WITH WORK. Upon receipt of approval from the
Architectural Committee pursuant to this Section, Tenant shall, as soon as
practicable, satisfy all conditions thereof and diligently proceed with the
commencement and completion of all approved construction. If construction is not
commenced within six (6) months following the Commencement Date, or such longer
or shorter period as may be expressly required by the Architectural Committee,
then the approval shall be deemed revoked.

         F. RESPONSIBILITY. The Architectural Committee shall review
Applications solely for its own use and benefit in order to enable the
Architectural Committee to exercise its powers as provided herein and not for
the benefit of any other person. The Architectural Committee shall have no
liability for any structural or other defect in any plans approved by it or any
New Building constructed pursuant to such plans or any failure of such plans to
comply with any requirements hereof, including the Design Standards Manual, or
of law. Any person constructing New Buildings or causing New Buildings to be
constructed on any Parcel within the Land shall be solely responsible for the
safety thereof and for compliance with all governmental or other requirements
pertaining thereto, and approval by the Architectural Committee shall not be
deemed to satisfy or to exempt any person from the obligation to comply with any
applicable governmental or other requirements.

         G. VARIANCES. Subject to the other provisions of this Lease, the
Architectural Committee may in its sole and absolute discretion grant written
variances from the architectural requirements contained herein. In reviewing any
request for such a variance, the Architectural Committee shall consider whether
such variance will materially injure any of the Parcels or New Buildings in the
Center or unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment by any other tenants
of their Parcels. If Tenant requests such a variance, Tenant shall be solely
responsible for complying with any governmental or other requirements pertaining
thereto. No variance granted pursuant to this Section shall constitute a waiver
of any provision of this Lease as applied to any other Parcel, person or
situation.

         H. EXEMPTION OF LANDLORD. The provisions of this Section 31.3 shall not
apply to any Improvement approved in writing by or constructed or installed by

         B. CREATION OF LIEN. Tenant shall pay to Landlord: (i) regular
assessments and special assessments; and (ii) such other charges and assessments
as Landlord is authorized to levy or impose pursuant to the provisions of this
Lease. Such charges and assessments, together with interest, costs and
reasonable attorney's fees, shall be a continuing lien and charge upon Tenant's
interest under this Lease against which each such assessment is made, provided,
however, that such lien or charge shall not encumber Landlord's interest in and
to the Land.

         C. INSURANCE ON COMMON AREAS. Landlord shall either self-insure or
shall obtain and maintain casualty, liability and other insurance as
appropriate.

         D. REGULAR ASSESSMENTS.

                  (1) Purpose. Regular assessments shall be levied for the
purposes of paying all expenses incurred by Landlord for the administration,
operation, repair, replacement, restoration, maintenance and insurance of the
Common Areas, public art and for Landlord's performance of all of its other
obligations under this Lease and any future activities reasonably approved by
both Landlord and Tenant. Regular assessments may include payments for such
other matters as may be approved by Landlord in its sole and absolute
discretion.

                  (2) Date of Commencement of Regular Assessments. Regular
assessments may be commenced by Landlord at any time; provided, however, that
Landlord may delay the start of regular assessments for any period which it
deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion.

                  (3) Budget. Prior to or at the beginning of any period subject
to assessment, Landlord shall establish the budget and regular assessment for
such period.

                  (4) Payment of Assessments. Regular assessments shall be due
and payable by Tenant to Landlord in advance in four (4) equal quarterly
installments, on or before the first day of January, April, July and October of
each year, or as may be changed by Landlord upon one (1) month notice to Tenant.

                  (5) Allocation of Assessments. Regular assessments shall be
allocated among the Parcels within the Land in the same proportions as the gross
acreage of each Parcel bears to the sum of the gross acreages of all land owned
by Landlord in the Center upon which buildings can be constructed.

                                       77
<PAGE>   86
         E. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS. Special assessments may be levied for the same
purposes as regular assessments if at any time Landlord determines that the
current regular assessments will be inadequate. Special assessments shall be
allocated among the Parcels on the same basis and payable on the same terms as
regular assessments, except that Landlord may require payment in full upon not
less than fifteen (15) days following written notice to Tenant or in
installments at such time and over such period as Landlord may determine.

         F. REIMBURSEMENT ASSESSMENT. Landlord may levy an assessment against
Tenant if Tenant is in breach of any provision of this Section 31.5, the Design
Standards Manual or any other rules or guidelines adopted pursuant to this
Lease in an amount equal to any monies expended or obligations incurred by
Landlord in exercising any right or remedy in connection with such breach, and
any cost, expense, obligation or liability of Landlord resulting from such
breach. Reimbursement assessments shall be due and payable in full upon not less
than fifteen (15) days written notice to Tenant or in installments at such times
and over such period as Landlord may determine.

         G. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ASSESSMENT. Capital improvement assessments may
be levied by Landlord for the purpose of defraying the cost of constructing all
Improvements to the Common Areas including road construction and reconstruction,
signage and any Improvements in or to the Common Areas as the same may be
determined to be necessary by Landlord for the benefit of the Center. Capital
improvement assessments shall be payable in full upon not less than fifteen (15)
days written notice to Tenant or in installments at such times and over such
period as Landlord may determine.

         H. COLLECTION OF ASSESSMENTS; LIENS.

                  (1) Right to Enforce. Landlord may enforce the obligations of
Tenant to pay assessments provided for in this Section 31.5 by means of a suit
at law or in equity, by foreclosure of the lien created pursuant hereto, or by
any other means authorized by law or under this Lease. A suit to recover a money
judgment for unpaid assessments together with all other amounts payable pursuant
hereto shall be maintainable without foreclosing or waiving such lien.

                  (2) Creation of Lien. Any assessment payable hereunder
(whether regular, special, reimbursement, capital improvement or otherwise)
shall be payable as an Additional Payment.

                                       78
<PAGE>   87
                  (3) No Offsets. No offsets against any assessments shall be
permitted for any reason.

                  (4) Failure to Fix Regular Assessments. The failure by
Landlord to fix regular assessments hereunder before or at the beginning of any
year shall not be deemed a waiver or modification of any provision of this Lease
or a release of Tenant from the obligation to pay such assessments or any
installation thereof for that or any subsequent year, but the regular assessment
then in effect shall continue until a new regular assessment is determined as
herein provided.

                  (5) Insurance Proceeds Insufficient. If following damage or
destruction to the Common Areas, the proceeds of insurance available to Landlord
are insufficient to pay the full cost of repair, reconstruction and restoration
of the damaged or destroyed portions of the Common Areas, Landlord may obtain
any additional funds needed to repair, reconstruct and restore the Common Areas
by means of a capital improvement assessment pursuant to Section 31.5(G) hereof.

agents, employees, contractors, invitees or a third party in a manner that would

from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, charges and
expenses, penalties, suits, fines, claims, legal and investigation fees or
costs, arising from or related to any claim or action for injury, liability,
breach of warranty or representation, or damage to persons, property, the

in whole, of any use of the Premises during the term of this Lease or any
previous uses of the Premises by Tenant or its owners or affiliated entities,
agents, employees, invitees, contractors, visitors or licensees, unless caused
by the negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors. Regardless
of the date of termination of this Lease,

                                       82
<PAGE>   91
Tenant's obligations and liabilities under this Article 33 shall continue so
long as the Landlord bears any liability or responsibility under the
Environmental Laws for any use of the Premises during the term of this Lease.
This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs
incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup,
remedial actions, removal or restoration work required or conducted by any
federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision because of
Regulated Substances located on the Premises or present in the soil or ground
water on, or under the Premises. The parties agree that Landlord's right to
enforce this covenant to indemnify is not an adequate remedy at law for Tenant's
violation of any provision of this Article and that Landlord shall also have the
rights set forth in this Article in addition to all other rights and remedies
provided by law or otherwise provided for in this Lease.

         B. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Regulated
Substance on, or under the Premises results in any contamination of the demised
Premises or any adjacent real property during the term of this Lease, Tenant
shall promptly take all actions at its sole cost and expense as are necessary to
mitigate any immediate threat to human health or the environment. Tenant shall
then undertake any further action necessary to return the Premises or other
property to the condition existing prior to the introduction of any Regulated
Substance to the Premises; provided that Landlord's written approval of such
actions shall first be obtained. Tenant shall undertake such actions without
regard to the potential legal liability of any other person, however, any
remedial activities by Tenant shall not be construed as to impair Tenant's
rights, if any, to seek contribution or indemnity from another person.

         C. Tenant shall, at Tenant's own cost and expense, make all tests,
reports, studies and provide all information to any appropriate governmental
agency as may be required pursuant to the Environmental Laws pertaining to
Tenant's use of the. Premises. This obligation includes but is not limited to
any requirements for a site characterization, site assessment and/or a cleanup
plan that may be necessary due to any actual or potential spills or discharges
of Regulated Substances on, or under the Premises, during the term of this
Lease. At no cost or expense to Landlord, Tenant shall promptly provide all
information requested by Landlord pertaining to the applicability of the
Environmental Laws to the Premises, to respond to any governmental
investigation, or to respond to any claim of liability by third parties which is
related to environmental contamination alleged to have occurred since the
Commencement Date.

         In addition, Landlord shall have the right to access, within ten (10)
days of Tenant's receipt of written request, and copy any and all records, test
results, studies and/or

                                       83
<PAGE>   92
other documentation, other than trade secrets, regarding environmental
conditions relating to the use, storage, or treatment of Regulated Substances by
the Tenant on, or under the Premises.

         D. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any of the following:
(1) any correspondence or communication from any governmental agency regarding
the application of Environmental Laws to the Premises or Tenant's use of the
Premises, (2) any change in Tenant's use of the Premises that will change or has
the potential to change Tenant's or Landlord's obligations or liabilities under
Environmental Laws, and (3) any assertion of a claim or other occurrence for
which Tenant may incur an obligation under this Article.

         E. Tenant shall insert the provisions of this Article 33 in any

                      AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER CITY PROPERTY
                           (Driveway Access Agreement)

             AUTHORIZATION is hereby granted by the CITY OF PHOENIX, a municipal

authorized to do business in Arizona ("America West"), to enter upon that
certain real property owned by the City at Phoenix Sky Harbor Center ("Access
Parcel"), as depicted in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by
this reference.

             Entry by America West is for the sole purpose of enabling America
West to construct, maintain and use a driveway from Sky Harbor Circle North to
land leased by the City to America West pursuant to the Unsubordinated Ground
Lease executed this date by the City and America West (the "Lease") across the
northern portion of the Option Parcel, as defined in the Lease.

             This authorization is nonexclusive and is granted subject to the
following terms and conditions:

             1. The term of this authorization shall be from the date of
execution through the expiration or termination of the Lease or until America
West leases the Option Parcel from the City, whichever first occurs.

             2. The driveway shall be constructed (in accordance with plans
approved by the Architectural Committee) and maintained by America West at its
sole cost and expense. The City may, in its discretion at any time, provide
alternate access at a location to be determined by the City and a replacement
driveway will be constructed at no cost to America West.

             3. America West hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
City, its departments, agencies, officers, or employees from all suits, actions,
loss, liability, cost, damage or expense of any character or any nature related
to the death of any person or any accident, injury, loss or damage resulting
from any activity, condition or event arising out of the performance or
nonperformance of any provision of this Authorization by America West or in the
exercise of this Authorization by America West, any of its
<PAGE>   108
agents or independent contractors. This indemnification shall include, in the
event of any such action, court costs, expenses of litigation and reasonable
attorneys' fees.

             America West shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the City
prior to the execution of this Authorization, duplicate originals or appropriate
certificates of bodily injury and property damage insurance policies, covering
the above described real property and improvements thereon in the amount of at
least $1,000,000.00 single limit for public liability and property damage, with
the City of Phoenix as an additional insured; said certification to read: "The
City of Phoenix, a municipal corporation, is an additional insured for the
parcel described in the attached legal description." The insurance policy shall
provide that coverage is primary and shall not be reduced or canceled until
after thirty (30) days prior written notice of cancellation or reduction be
served upon the City in the manner provided in paragraph 16 herein.

             4. America West shall maintain the Access Parcel in a neat, clean
and safe condition free of any holes, obstructions or debris. America West shall
repair any damage to the Access Parcel resulting from its use.

             5. America West shall comply with all federal, state and local
laws, regulations and guidelines in the use of hazardous materials and waste,

Such materials and products may not be stored on the Access Parcel. America West
shall be liable for the cleanup and elimination of all hazardous conditions,
materials or waste resulting from the use of the Access Parcel by America West
and hereby indemnifies City for all costs incurred by City for America West's
failure to perform this obligation. Oil brought onto the Access Parcel by

immediately removed from the site and disposed of properly after use. Under no
circumstances will oil be changed on the Access Parcel or left there in
containers. This provision shall survive the termination of this Authorization
and shall apply to any hazardous material, waste or other conditions caused by
the use or activities of America West, its agents, employees, contractors,
licensees or invitees.

             6. Any supplier in performing under this contract, shall not
discriminate against any worker, employee or applicant, or any member of the
public, because of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national
origin, age or disability, nor otherwise commit an unfair employment practice.
America West will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are
employed, and that employees are dealt with during employment without regard to
their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national

following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or
recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of
compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. America West
further agrees that this clause will be incorporated in all subcontracts entered
into with suppliers of materials or services, and all labor organizations
furnishing skilled, unskilled and union labor, or who may perform any such labor
or services in connection with this contract.

             7. Except in connection with an assignment or sublease which is
permitted pursuant to the terms of the Lease, the rights granted by this
revocable Authorization shall not be assigned, nor shall any of the rights or
privileges herein granted or authorized be leased, assigned, sold or
transferred, either in whole or in part, without the express written consent of
the City.

             8. Except as otherwise provided in the Lease, America West shall
have no recourse whatsoever against the City or its officials, boards, agents or
employees for any loss, costs, expenses or damage arising out of any of the
conditions or provisions of this revocable Authorization or because of any
defects in the revocable Authorization, or should America West be lawfully
deprived of the use and possession of the property heretofore described.

             9. America West shall keep the Access Parcel free and clear of all
mechanics', materialsmen's, contractors' or subcontractors' liens arising from
America West's use or occupancy of the Access Parcel by America West or its
agents.

             10. America West, its officers, employees, agents, contractors,
licensees and invitees will hold all of its or their vehicles, materials and
