Heading: Negotiation of the second amendment

Text: ¶ 9. Pursuant to the terms of the original lease, the Copa opened a temporary location north of the permanent site on the East Pier. While the Copa occupied the temporary site, Edwards asked Gulfside to move what was to be its permanent site at the southwest end of the East Pier to the northwest corner of the main ship harbor, an area commonly referred to as to as the Horseshoe because another tenant, Duratex, was building a warehouse on the East Pier which would disturb the Copa's operations. At first, Gulfside representatives rejected Edward's proposal. However, after construction of the Duratex warehouse began, Gulfside agreed to negotiate a move to the Horseshoe. On November 19, 1992, the Port Authority passed a resolution authorizing Edwards to negotiate an amendment to the lease with Gulfside. Edwards negotiated the amendment with Hugh Keating, Gulfside's attorney.
