ARTICLE XXXII: Headings
The article and paragraph headings are inserted only as
a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit
or describe the scope or intent of any provisions of this lease.
ARTICLE XXXIII: Invalid Provision
It is further expressly understood and agreed by and
between the parties hereto that in the event any covenant, condition
or provision herein contained is held to be invalid by any
court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of any such
covenant, condition or provision shall in no way affect any other
covenants, conditions or provisions herein contained; provided
however, that the invalidity of any such covenant, condition or pro-

ARTICLE XXXIV:
It is agreed and understood by the parties that this
contract supersedes and constitutes a complete termination of the
Fixed Base Operator' s Agreement and Aircraft Fuel Servicing Con-
tract entered into on May 6, 1969, except that CITY reserves
such rights as it has under such instrument. That certain T-Hangar
ground lease dated April 15, 1965, between the City of Wichita Falls
as Lessor and Charles E. King as Lessee, as amended by that certain
supplemental agreement effective October 1, 1966, has been assigned
to LESSEE herein, and LESSEE is hereby recognized as the holder of
said T-Hangar Ground Lease, as amended, and said T-Hangar Ground
Lease, as amended, is still in full force and effect and CITY shall
retain and reserve all its rights and privileges under such T-Hangar
Ground Lease as if fully set forth herein.
It is understood by both parties hereto that, by instru-
ment dated March 30, 1967, Charles E. King and King Flight Services,
Inc. executed a conditional assignment to Humble Oil and Refining
Company covering all rights and interests of the assignors in
certain leases on the Airport property; although the Fixed Base
21-
Operator' s Agreement and the Aircraft Fuel Servicing Contract
which were mentioned in such conditional assignment have been
heretofore superseded, this lease is made subject to the rights,
if any, that Humble Oil and Refining Company may now own by virtue
of such conditional assignment, and CITY reserves all rights it
has arising out of the instruments creating any security interest
in Humble Oil and Refining Company.
LESSEE is authorized to execute a conditional assignment
to Southern Aviation, Inc. of all its rights under this agreement,
which will be junior to said conditional assignment held by Humble
Oil and Refining Company. A copy of such conditional assignment
to Southern Aviation, Inc. must be submitted to CITY for approval.
LESSEE covenants and agrees that, no later than January 1,
1972, LESSEE will merge with Southern Aviation, Inc. and Southern
Aviation, Inc. shall become the Lessee on this contract.
Southern Aviation, Inc. guarantees the performance of all
of the obligations and covenants imposed on LESSEE in this agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this agreement
to be executed as of the day and year first above written.
