10.2. Lessor reserves the right to develop and improve the Airport as it sees fit, regardless

event,any provisions of this instrument which are inconsistent with the provisions of
the lease to the Government shall be suspended. Lessor shall not be liable for any
loss or damages alleged by Lessee as a result of this action. However,nothing in this
Lease shall prevent Lessee from pursuing any rights it may have for reimbursement
from the United States Government. If any lease between Lessor and the United
