BOISE CASCADE AVIATION OPERATION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of the 29th day of October, 2004, entered
into by and between BOISE CASCADE CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation,
hereinafter referred to as "Parent," and BOISE CASCADE AVIATION, L.L.C., a
Delaware corporation, hereinafter referred to as "Boise Aviation".
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, Albertson's, Inc. ("Albertson's") and Parent entered into an
Operation Agreement dated April 1, 1999, amended March 1, 2004 ("Albertson's
Operation Agreement"), Albertson's is the owner and/or lessee of various
aircraft (hereinafter "Albertson's Aircraft") based in a facility ("Facility")
constructed by Albertson's pursuant to an Assignment dated June 27, 2000
("Assignment"), and a Second Amendment to Lease between Parent and the City of
Boise dated April 13, 1999 ("Second Amendment"), which amends the lease
agreement dated April 19, 1988, amended October 6, 1995, as further amended by a
Third Amendment dated February 7, 2000 (such lease, as amended, is referred to
as the "Master Lease");
WHEREAS, simultaneously herewith, Parent assigned its interest in the
Albertson's Operation Agreement to Boise Aviation, and Boise Aviation has
assumed all of Parent's obligations thereunder;
WHEREAS, Parent has assigned the lease with Key Bank for the Falcon 50
Tail #293BC to Boise Aviation ("Boise Aviation Aircraft");
WHEREAS, Parent desires that Boise Aviation provide maintenance, flight
crews, and other operational services as herein specified for Parent's Aircraft
and that Boise Aviation maintain and operate the Facility pursuant to the
Albertson's Operation Agreement; and
WHEREAS, Parent owns and/or operates a Falcon 50 Tail #291BC based at the
Facility ("BC Aircraft") (the Albertson's Aircraft, Boise Aviation Aircraft, and
BC Aircraft are referred to herein as the "Aircraft").
1. DEFINED TERMS. All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meaning as set forth in the Albertson's Operation Agreement or the Master
Lease, as applicable.
2. TERM. The term of this Agreement shall be for a period commencing
on the date first written above ("Effective Date"), and running through June 30,
2005, and thereafter shall be automatically renewed for successive periods of
six months each unless notice of termination is given by either party at any
time during the term or renewal term upon ninety (90) days prior written notice.
This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the termination of the
Albertson's Operation Agreement. No termination of this Agreement shall affect
any obligation of a party arising prior to such termination or to make payment
in respect of any cessation of operations of Boise Aviation.
3. LEASE; TIMESHARING. Any use of the Boise Aviation Aircraft by
Parent or the BC Aircraft by Boise Aviation will be governed by an amendment
hereto to be filed with the FAA.
3.1 FACILITY FEE. Parent shall pay Boise Aviation a monthly fee
equal to Parent's "Proportionate Share" of the following:
(a) Rent under the Master Lease.
(b) Real estate taxes paid on the Facility by
Albertson's per year, divided by 12.
(c) Fire and extended coverage insurance premiums
required under the Master Lease per year, divided by 12.
(d) A Facility Fee in an amount calculated pursuant to
Exhibit A of the Albertson's Operation Agreement.
For all purposes hereof, "Proportionate Share" shall be calculated based
upon the number of Aircraft based at the Facility. For example, if Parent has
one (1) Aircraft, Boise Aviation has one (1) Aircraft, and Albertson's has two
(2) Aircraft based at the Facility, Parent's Proportionate Share shall be
one-fourth (1/4). Each party's Proportionate Share shall be adjusted, if
necessary, at the beginning of each month to take into account Aircraft that are
added or deleted during the preceding month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties agree that their Proportionate Share of all fees, expenses and other
liabilities related to the cessation of operations of any of the Aircraft
(including severance costs related to personnel used in the operation of the
Aircraft and other shutdown costs related thereto), in each case to the extent
not reimbursed by Albertson's shall be 50%.
The Proportionate Share of each party shall continue to be calculated
based on the number of Aircraft based at the Facility, unless and until either
party determines at anytime that the type and size of the Aircraft then based at
the Facility warrants modification of this formula. In such event, the parties
shall negotiate in good faith to address a potential change in the manner in
which the Proportionate Share is calculated. If, notwithstanding such good faith
negotiations, the parties are unable to reach an agreement on a modified
formula, the parties' respective Proportionate Share shall continue to be
determined based on the number of Aircraft based at the Facility.
4. SERVICES PROVIDED BY BOISE AVIATION FOR PARENT AIRCRAFT AND THE
FACILITY. Boise Aviation will use reasonable efforts to provide the following
operational and maintenance services for Parent Aircraft and the Facility in a
manner as required by the Albertson's Operation Agreement and consistent with
past practices (including with respect to staff):

all: (i) pilot requirements of the insurance policies of Boise Aviation covering

costs shall be those charged by such location.
(iii) All reasonable travel expenses incurred by
the flight personnel while operating the Aircraft in accordance with Boise
Aviation's policy relating to such expenses and as reflected in monthly expense
reports to be filed by the flight personnel.
(iv) All taxes levied by any government or branch
thereof against any of the activities conducted by Boise Aviation pursuant to
this Agreement, except income taxes of Boise Aviation and taxes relating to
Boise Aviation's charter and air taxi operation of the Aircraft with third

Aviation.
