(a) The State and ABPC hereby covenant that they shall maintain at all times rates for parking at the Garage and the Surface Parking sufficient to result in each year in Garage Gross Receipts in such amount to permit compliance with the Garage Coverage Ratio, as defined in the Trust Indenture. If for any Lease Year, as shown in the audited financial statements prepared for such Lease Year, the Garage Coverage Ratio has not been met, the State and ABPC shall promptly adjust rates for parking at the Garage and/or the Surface Parking such that the Garage Coverage Ratio is projected to be met for the then-current Lease Year.
(b) The State and ABPC hereby approve and establish, and the State shall implement, during each Lease Year of the Lease Term, the parking rates for the Surface Parking and the Garage, respectively, which are attached hereto as Exhibit F, which parking rates shall take effect automatically under the provisions of this Lease; provided, however, that if at the end of any Lease Year, the combined Surface Parking Gross Receipts and Garage Gross Receipts received in that Lease Year exceed the target therefor set forth in the table below, any scheduled parking rate increases for the succeeding Lease Year as set forth in Exhibit F hereto shall not occur during such succeeding Lease Year unless the State and ABPC mutually agree at such time that such rate increases
27
for such Lease Year shall be given effect, in whole or in part. In the event of an increase or decrease in the combined Surface Parking Operating Expenses and Garage Operating Expenses in any Lease Year which exceeds $300,000 when compared with the amount budgeted therefor, the State and ABPC shall mutually agree to modify Surface Parking parking rates and/or Garage parking rates in order to compensate for such increase or decrease in such operating expenses. In addition, if for any reason at the end of any Lease Year, the combined Surface Parking Gross Receipts and Garage Gross Receipts received during such Lease Year are less than the target therefor set forth in the table below, ABPC shall notify the State of any non-scheduled increase in the parking rates for the succeeding Lease Year necessary (in addition to the automatic Exhibit F rate increases) to ensure that the combined Surface Parking Gross Receipts and the Garage Gross Receipts target for such succeeding Lease Year is met, and the State shall approve and establish such non-scheduled rate increases. In addition, the State and ABPC may mutually agree, at any time during the term of the Lease to adjust parking rates to respond to market and economic conditions, as long as such parking rate adjustment does not adversely affect any combined year-end Total of Surface Parking Gross Receipts and Garage Gross Receipts listed below. No adjustment in Garage Parking Rates pursuant to this paragraph, shall be made, unless the State and ABPC project compliance with the Garage Coverage Ratio, after giving effect to such adjustment.

If at any time after the Lease Execution Date, the State or ABPC shall identify on the Leased Premises or in the soil or ground water below the Leased Premises the presence of any Hazardous Materials or Hazardous Materials Contamination or any other hazardous waste or hazardous substance, pollutant, contaminant, or toxic substance or material (collectively, the “Regulated Materials”) subject to the provisions of 42 U.S.C. §6901 et seq. or 42 U.S.C. §9601 et seq. and/or any other federal or State rule, regulation, order, statute, code, standard, guideline, policy or requirement regarding the quality or condition of air, water, land, wetlands or regulating solid or hazardous waste or the environment (collectively, the “Environmental Laws”), the presence of which is not due to any act or omission of ABPC, its agents, employees, assignees, occupants, licensees, invitees or tenants (the “Protected Parties”), and ABPC shall notify the State, the State shall, promptly after receipt of such notice, cause actions to be taken to investigate, monitor, cleanup, remove and remediate such Regulated Materials in a manner which fully complies with all applicable Environmental Laws and all requirements of any applicable federal, State governmental agency or authority (the “Remediation”). During Garage construction, the State shall perform at its sole expense, any reasonable site environmental mitigation for existing conditions, including associated reasonable construction delay costs, that is determined to be required after Garage construction starts and which could not reasonably have been expected to be identified during ABPC’s environmental site investigation.
If the State deems that the environmental mitigation requirements, determined after the start of Garage construction but prior to Substantial Completion of the Garage, are too costly, Garage construction and this Lease Agreement shall be terminated, and the State shall pay all reasonable ABPC costs to the date of termination of the project, including, without limitation, the reasonable costs payable by the Construction Manager under the Construction Management Agreement, and ABPC and APCOA shall have no obligation
49
to pay the cost of defeasing the Bonds that exceeds the balance of available Bond proceeds, which shall be applied thereto.
B. The State shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with any Remediation required pursuant to Section 19A hereof. The State does not waive any rights either express or implied it may be entitled to with respect to any third parties. If such Remediation by the State shall occur prior to Substantial Completion of the Garage, such costs of Remediation to be borne by the State shall include any additional Garage construction costs attributable solely to the need for such Remediation and construction delays in connection therewith, and the Target Date shall automatically be extended for a period equal to the number of days required to accomplish such Remediation after notice thereof to the State.
ABPC may, under the terms and provisions as may be agreed to by the parties under a subsequent letter agreement with the State, agree to perform the Remediation obligations of the State under Section 19A hereof.
C. The State further agrees that ABPC shall only be liable to it for contamination by Regulated Materials which the Protected Parties actually discharge, spill, release or deposit to the Leased Premises after the Lease Execution Date, and for which the State is not responsible.
D. The State hereby releases any claim, cause of action, or other legal suit, whether in law or in equity, or under any administrative proceeding or action, or under any other power of the State to impose liability and/or responsibility upon the Protected Parties with respect to liability or responsibility for environmental matters or conditions on or stemming from the Leased Premises which relate to matters or conditions that occurred or were instituted prior to the Lease Execution Date, and for which the Protected Parties were not responsible.
E. The State agrees to cooperate to the practical extent with the Protected Parties in any action deemed necessary against a third-party to preserve and protect the environmental integrity of the Leased Premises.
F. The use of the Leased Premises by ABPC shall be restricted to those purposes specified in this Lease unless the prior written consent of the State to any change is obtained. The State recognizes and agrees that the uses authorized in this Lease may include underground storage tanks and related appurtenances and dispensers (herein collectively “USTs”) and aboveground storage tanks and related appurtenances and dispensers (herein collectively “ASTs”).
G. ABPC and the State each agree to comply with all Environmental Laws and associated orders or permits applicable to their respective operations on or in the vicinity of the Leased Premises (and ABPC also agrees to cause such compliance by the Protected Parties, to the extent they operate on the Leased Premises), including but not limited to required National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits and all
50
applicable laws and regulations relating to the use, storage, generation, treatment, transportation, and/or disposal of Regulated Materials. ABPC shall not knowingly use, store, generate, treat, transport, or dispose of any Regulated Materials on the Leased Premises without first obtaining all required permits and approvals from all authorities having jurisdiction over ABPC’s operations on the Leased Premises. ABPC will develop a Storm-water Pollution Prevention Plan, which must be approved by the Airport Administrator and the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection.
H. ABPC shall permit the State and its agents, employees or contractors access to the Leased Premises for the purpose of conducting reasonable environmental inspections, tests and sampling, at all reasonable times including during regular business hours and during other hours either by agreement of the parties or in the event of an environmental emergency.
I. Upon receipt of a request from the State, ABPC, shall immediately provide for inspection by the State or its authorized representative of such documents in ABPC’s possession and/or control as are described in the State’s written request and as relate to compliance or non-compliance of the Leased Premises with Environmental Laws dealing with Regulated Materials. ABPC shall provide or cause such documents to be provided to the State at a location and in a manner required by the State.
J. If either party determines at any time through any means that any threat of potential harm to the environment, including but not limited to any release, discharge, spill or deposit of any Regulated Materials has occurred or is occurring which in any way affects or threatens to affect the Leased Premises, the Airport, or the persons structures, equipment, or other property thereon, that party shall notify immediately by verbal report in person or by telephone, to be confirmed in writing within 72 hours, (1) the other party’s designated environmental coordinator, (2) the State’s Fire Marshal, (3) all emergency response centers and environmental or regulatory agencies, as required by law or regulation.
K. ABPC and the State each agree to cooperate fully with the other in promptly responding to, reporting, and remedying any threat of potential harm to the environment, including without limitation any release or threatened release of any Regulated Materials into the drainage systems, soils, groundwater, waters, or atmosphere, in accordance with applicable law or as authorized or approved by any federal or State agency having authority over environmental matters.
L. ABPC agrees to indemnify and forever hold the State, including its officers and employees, harmless from any liability, fine, penalty, cost, attorney fees, or expenses, whether foreseen or unforeseen, suffered or to be suffered by reason of any failure of ABPC after the Lease Execution Date to perform its obligations under this Section 19, or by virtue of any non-compliance with any Environmental Laws applicable to and resulting from the operations, acts or use by ABPC after the Lease Execution Date, of the Leased Premises or any part thereof. ABPC, however, reserves the right to demonstrate either (i) that the alleged acts or failure to act did not occur, or (ii) that the
51
alleged act or failure to act was not a failure of compliance or performance, or a violation, of applicable Environmental Laws or of obligations under this Section 19, or (iii) that the complained of contamination was in existence prior to the Lease Execution Date.
In addition to its indemnification obligation pursuant to the preceding paragraph, ABPC shall promptly report to the Airport Operations Manager and cause actions to be taken to investigate, monitor, cleanup, remove and remediate any Regulated Materials for which it has or would have an indemnification obligation in the circumstances described above in a manner which fully complies with all applicable Environmental Laws and all requirements of any applicable federal, State or local governmental agency or authority.
M. The rights and obligations set forth under this Section 19 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
SECTION 20. Defaults, Remedies and Waivers by ABPC.
If during the Lease Term:
(i) ABPC shall fail to pay or deposit when due amounts which it is required to deposit or pay to the Trustee or the Custodian pursuant to Section 6 hereof, which failure shall continue for two Business Days; provided, however, that ABPC shall not be responsible for the failure by the credit card company to make direct transfers of net debit card/credit card receipts unless ABPC shall have violated its obligation to make every effort of which it is capable to insure that such transfers are accurate and made every business day or as otherwise required as set forth in Section 7(b);
(ii) APCOA shall fail to pay when due and owing any Guarantor Payments payable under the Guaranty, which failure shall continue after the opening of business on the date, as applicable, that the Trustee is required to make the deposits pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Trust Indenture or the date that the Custodian is required to make the deposits pursuant to Section of the Custody Agreement;
(iii) ABPC shall fail to observe or perform in any material respect any other of ABPC’s material covenants, agreements, representations, certifications or obligations hereunder and such breach shall not be cured within 30 days (or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such failure, provided ABPC is diligently pursuing such cure to completion) after written notice by the State or the Trustee to ABPC specifying the nature of such breach;
(iv) in addition to the effect of the Construction Management Agreement, the License Agreement and the Assignment and any granting of a leasehold mortgage to a Leasehold Mortgagee as provided hereunder, ABPC’s interest in this Lease or any part thereof shall be mortgaged, hypothecated, affected,
52
pledged, assigned or transferred either voluntarily or by operation of law contrary to the provisions of this Lease;
(v) ABPC shall file any voluntary petition or institute any voluntary proceeding under any act or acts, state or federal, dealing with or relating to the subject or subjects of bankruptcy or insolvency, or under any amendment of such act or acts, either as a bankrupt, or as an insolvent, or as a debtor, or in any similar capacity, wherein or whereby ABPC asks or seeks or prays to be adjudicated a bankrupt, or is to be discharged from all or any of ABPC’s debts or obligations, or offers to ABPC’s creditors to effect a composition of extension of time to pay ABPCs debts or asks, seeks or prays for a reorganization or to effect a plan of reorganization, or for a readjustment of ABPC’s debts, or for any other similar relief, or any such involuntary petition or any such involuntary proceedings of the same or similar kind or character shall be filed or be instituted or taken against ABPC (which involuntary petition or proceeding shall not be dismissed within 90 days of its filing or institution), or a receiver of the business or of the property or assets of ABPC shall be appointed by any court, except a receiver appointed at the instance or request of the State or the Trustee, or ABPC shall make a general or any assignment for the benefit of ABPCs creditors; or
(vi) ABPC shall abandon or vacate the Garage without the written consent of the State;
(vii) the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or (b) of the Trust Indenture;
(viii) failure to cause Substantial Completion of the Garage on or prior to the Target Date as the same may be extended.
Then in each such event set forth in clauses (i) — (viii) above, ABPC shall be in default hereunder.
If ABPC shall be in default hereunder for any reason, then the State or the Trustee may take any one or more of the following actions:
(a) reenter and take possession of the Project Site, the Garage and/or the Surface Parking without terminating this Lease, and sublease the Project Site, the Garage and/or the Surface Parking for the account of ABPC, holding ABPC liable for the difference in the rent and other amounts payable by such sublessee in such subleasing and the Guaranteed Payments and other amounts payable by ABPC hereunder, and associated fees and attorney’s costs;
(b) terminate the Lease Term and exclude ABPC from possession of the Project Site, the Garage and the Surface Parking and lease the Project
53
Site, the Garage and the Surface Parking to another for the account of ABPC, holding ABPC liable for all Guaranteed Payments due to the date of such leasing and for the excess, if any, of the Guaranteed Payments payable under this Lease had the Lease Term not been terminated over the rents and other amounts which are payable by such new lessee under such new lease, and associated fees and attorney’s costs; and
(c) take whatever action at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to seek the remedy of specific performance, which may appear necessary or desirable to collect the Guaranteed Payments due under this Lease and the Guaranty, or to become due hereunder and thereunder, or to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of ABPC under this Lease.
SECTION 21. Representations of ABPC. ABPC hereby represents and warrants to the State, which representations and warranties and other representations and warranties of ABPC contained in this Lease shall survive the execution and delivery of this Lease, as follows:

ABPC (i) is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State, and (ii) has all requisite power and authority and all necessary licenses and permits to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted.

(c) Agreements Are Valid and Authorized. The execution and delivery by ABPC of this Lease and the compliance by ABPC with all of the provisions hereof (i) are within the authority and powers of ABPC, (ii) will not conflict with or result in any breach or any of the provisions of, or constitute a default under, any agreement, articles of organization, operating agreement or other instrument to which ABPC is a party or by which it may be bound, or any license, judgment, decree, law, statute, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over ABPC or any of its activities or properties, and (iii) have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of ABPC.
(d) Governmental Consents. Neither the nature of ABPC, nor any of its activities or properties, nor any relationship between ABPC and any other person, is
54
such as to require the consent, approval or authorization of, or the filing, registration or qualification with, any governmental authority on the part of ABPC in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Lease, other than those already obtained or those that will be obtained in connection with the construction of the Garage.
(e) No Defaults. No event has occurred and no condition exists with respect to ABPC that would constitute default under this Lease or which, with the lapse of time or with the giving of notice or both, would become an event of default under this Lease.
(f) Compliance with Laws. ABPC has received no written notice of any actual or asserted violations on or about the Project Site of any zoning, building, health, safety, pollution or federal or State environmental law, ordinance, rule or regulation governing the Project Site or the construction of the Garage thereon.

(a) Pending Litigation. To the best of the State’s information and belief, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, inquiries or investigations pending, or to the knowledge of the State threatened, against or affecting the State in any court or before any governmental authority or arbitration board or tribunal, which involve the possibility of materially and adversely affecting the transactions contemplated by this Lease.
(b) No Defaults. No event has occurred and no condition exists with respect to the State which would constitute a default under this Lease or the Trust Indenture or which, with the lapse of time or with the giving of notice or both, would become an event of default under this Lease or the Trust Indenture.

SECTION 23. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to either party is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right
55
or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.
SECTION 24. Breach by the State. The State shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless and until the State shall have failed to perform in any material respects such obligations and such breach shall not be cured within 30 days (or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default) after written notice by ABPC to the State specifying the nature of such breach. In the event of any such breach of its obligations hereunder by the State, ABPC shall have all remedies provided by law and in equity, provided, however, that ABPC shall not have the right to terminate this Lease except as provided in this Lease. Notwithstanding the preceding, the State reserves its sovereign immunity from suit or liability.
SECTION 25. Indemnification. ABPC shall indemnify and hold the State, the Trustee, the Custodian and each of their members, officers, agents and employees, harmless from, and defend them against, any and all liabilities, fines, suits, claims, demands, damages, liens, actions, judgments, costs, counsel fees and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever due to or arising out of: (i) any breach, violation or non-performance of any covenant, condition, representation, warranty or agreement made by ABPC under this Lease, or (ii) any bodily injury, death or damage to property occasioned by ABPC’s use and occupancy of the Garage, the Surface Parking or the Project Site, occurring in or about the Garage, the Surface Parking or the Project Site, or upon the public ways adjoining the same; provided, however, that the indemnification in this Section 25 shall not cover any liabilities, fines, suits, claims, demands, damages, liens, actions, judgments, costs, counsel fees and expenses arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the parties otherwise intended to be indemnified hereunder. If the State, the Trustee, the Custodian and each of their members, officers, agents and employees, or any of them be made a party to any action or proceeding arising out of any of the events or happenings contemplated by the preceding sentence, then they may be entitled to appear, defend or otherwise take part at their election and by counsel of their own choosing and at their own expense. ABPC’s liability under this section shall be reduced by the net proceeds actually collected from any insurance carried for the State’s benefit on the risk in question.
SECTION 26. Severability. If any one or more of the terms, provisions, promises, covenants or conditions of this Lease shall to any extent be adjudged invalid, unenforceable, void or voidable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction, each and all of the remaining terms, provisions, promises, covenants and conditions of the Lease shall not be affected thereby and shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
SECTION 27. Waiver of Subrogation. Provided and so long as the following provisions of this section do not result in the invalidation or cancellation of the fire and extended coverage insurance policies on the buildings constituting a part of the Garage or the contents thereof, or constitute a defense to any claim for loss under said policies, the State and ABPC each agree to and by these presents do hereby waive all rights of recovery and causes of action against each other, respectively, and against the officers, employees, servants and agents of each other, and against all parties claiming through or under this Lease, for any damage to or
56
destruction of the Garage or the Surface Parking or the contents thereof caused by any of the perils embraced within a standard fire and extended coverage insurance policy, notwithstanding the fact that said damage shall be due to the negligence of any one of the parties in whose favor this Lease operates.
SECTION 28. Vacation of Garage and Surface Parking. Except as may be otherwise permitted by this Lease, ABPC shall deliver up and surrender to the State possession of the Garage and the Surface Parking upon the expiration of this Lease or its termination in any way, in good condition and repair for a parking garage facility of the respective ages and types of the Garage and the Surface Parking, loss by fire or other casualty and ordinary wear and tear excepted.
SECTION 29. Holding Over. Should ABPC withhold possession of the Garage and the Surface Parking after the termination of this Lease, whether by expiration of the term hereof or otherwise, ABPC shall be considered a tenant at will and by sufferance of the State, and no such occupancy shall operate as a renewal of this Lease or the term hereof. During any such period when ABPC withholds possession, ABPC shall pay to the State monthly Guaranteed Payments in an amount equal to the average amount per month paid to the State by ABPC as Guaranteed Payments hereunder during the prior 12-month period.
SECTION 30. Waiver. No waiver of any condition or legal right or remedy shall be implied by the failure of either the State or ABPC to declare forfeiture, or for any other reason, and no waiver of any condition or covenant shall be valid unless it is in writing.

SECTION 32. Mechanic’s or Other Liens.

SECTION 33. Assignment and Subletting. Except as contemplated by the recitals to this Lease or as permitted herein, ABPC may not sell, assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge or encumber any portion of the Garage or the Surface Parking or any of its rights hereunder, and ABPC may not sublease all or any portion of the Garage or the Surface Parking, in each instance, without the prior written consent of the State. The State hereby specifically acknowledges and agrees that ABPC will transfer and assign all or any portion of ABPC’s rights and non-construction obligations under this Lease to APCOA pursuant to the License Agreement and to BAP pursuant to the Assignment, and may engage the Construction Manager
57
to perform the Garage construction obligations of ABPC hereunder pursuant to the Construction Management Agreement.

SECTION 38. Quiet Enjoyment. The State represents and warrants to ABPC that: (1) the State has good fee simple title to the Leased Premises with the power and authority to execute and deliver this Lease and to carry out and perform all covenants to be performed by it under this Lease, and (2) ABPC shall have the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of the Leased Premises so long as ABPC performs its duties hereunder and that the rights herein granted to ABPC hereunder are in conformity with any and all federal and State laws, regulations and policies, and any and all other binding obligations of the State with respect to the Airport.
The State further represents and warrants to ABPC that to the best of its information and belief:
(1) except for the applicable terms and conditions contained in this Lease, sole and undisturbed physical possession of the Leased Premises will be delivered free and clear of all encumbrances, liens, defects in title, violations of law, leases, tenancies, easements, restrictions and agreements, except for such matters as of record appear or as otherwise set forth in the Lease or any exhibits or schedules attached hereto;

(3) except as provided in this Lease, no municipal zoning approvals or consents are required and there are no known legal restrictions or impediments that prevent the construction and operation of the Garage on the Project Site or the operation of the Surface Parking.
If the State fails to keep and perform any of the covenants, representations or warranties contained in this section and to cure the same within 30 days of written notice thereof by ABPC, ABPC shall have all remedies provided by law or in equity.
SECTION 39. No Third Party Benefit. Except as provided in the Construction Management Agreement, the License Agreement and the Assignment and as otherwise provided in this Lease with respect to the Trustee, this Lease is intended for the benefit of the State and ABPC and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as creating any rights or benefits in or to any third party.
SECTION 40. Estoppel Certificates. Either party to this Lease shall from time to time during the term of this Lease, immediately upon request of the other party, execute and
59
deliver to the other party a statement certifying that this Lease is in full force and effect, the date through which the Rent and other charges hereunder have been paid, and any other factual matter reasonably requested by the other party.
SECTION 41. Governing Law. It is the intention of all parties to this Lease that all questions concerning the intention, validity, or meaning of this Lease or relating to the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to performance hereunder shall be construed and resolved according to the laws of the State of Connecticut without regard to conflicts of law principles.
SECTION 42. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Requirement. This Lease is subject to the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s regulations, 49 CFR Part 23 Subpart F. ABPC agrees that it will not discriminate against any business owner because of the owner’s race, color, national origin, or sex in connection with the award or performance of any concession agreement covered by 49 CFR Part 23, Subpart F.
The ABPC agrees to include the above statements in any subsequent concession agreements that it enters and cause those businesses to similarly include the statements in further agreements.
In accordance with the Regulations of the U.S. Department of Transportation, 49 CFR Part 23, Subpart F, the State has implemented a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) concession plan under which qualified firms may have the opportunity to participate in the Airport’s concession business. It is the policy of the Airport that DBE’s shall have the maximum opportunity to share in the benefits from airport concession leasing. Further, in accordance with Federal Regulations under 49 CFR Part 23, it is the State’s obligation to ensure that DBE firms have the opportunity to compete for leases without discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex.
The State has established an overall DBE participation goal of ten percent (10%), as measured by total annual gross receipts, for the State’s Airport concession operations. In signing this Lease, ABPC agrees to xxxxxx participation by DBE’s in the operation of the Leased Premises in accordance with 49 CFR, Part 23, Subpart F. ABPC further agrees to make a good faith effort to ensure that on an annual basis, DBE’s certified by the State shall be utilized for such participation, the amount of which shall be equal to ten percent (10%) of the total of the budgeted amount of Garage and Surface Parking Operating Expenses, Garage and Surface Parking Major Maintenance and Capital Improvement Fund deposits, the Developer Payment, Reimbursement of Unpaid Developer Payments, ABPC’s share of any State and Developer Additional Payment and ABPC’s share of any State and Developer Percentage Payment for such Lease Year, and such calculation shall specifically exclude any portion of Debt Service, the State Minimum Guarantee, or Additional Payments to the State.

Based on this example, ABPC’s annual DBE participation goal for a Lease Year would be an amount equal to $877,323, i.e., ten percent (10%) of $8,773,225, the sum total of Garage and Surface Parking Operating Expenses ($5,800,000), Garage and Surface Parking Major Maintenance and Capital Improvement Fund deposits ($790,000), the Developer Payment ($1,000,000), the Reimbursement of Unpaid Developer Payments ($178,500), the Developer Additional Payment ($1,000,000), and the Developer Percentage Payment ($4,725), which could be satisfied by fostering DBE’s certified by the State to participate in the operations of the Leased Premises by supplying certain goods and services to include uniforms, tools and supplies, towing, shuttle bus services, snow removal, custodial maintenance or other commercially useful functions.
SECTION 43. Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in several counterparts, and each executed counterpart shall be considered as an original of this Lease.

A copy of said Guidelines is attached and hereby made a part of this Lease.
F. ABPC agrees that this Lease is subject to the provisions of Executive Order No. Seventeen of Governor Xxxxxx X.

H. ABPC assures that it will undertake an affirmative action program as required by 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E, to insure that no person shall on the grounds of race, creed, color, national origin or sex be excluded from participating in any employment activities covered in 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart S. ABPC assures that no person shall be excluded on these grounds from participating in or receiving the services or benefits of any program or activity covered by this subpart. ABPC assures that it will require that its covered suborganizations provide assurances to ABPC that they similarly will undertake affirmative action programs and that they will require assurances from their suborganizations, as required by 14 CFR Part 152, Subpart E, to the same effect.
I. ABPC shall comply with the provisions contained in Section 7 of Public Act No. 91-1 (June 12, 1991 Special Session), “AN ACT CONCERNING THE CODES OF ETHICS FOR PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND LOBBYISTS”, which provides as follows:
(a) No person hired by the State as an independent contractor shall:
1. Use the authority provided to the person under the contract, or any confidential information acquired in the performance of the contract, to obtain financial gain for the person, an employee of the person or a member of the immediate family of any such person or employee;
65
2. Accept another State contract which would impair the independent judgment of the person in the performance of the existing contract; or
3. Accept anything of value based on an understanding that the actions of the person on behalf of the State would be influenced.
(b) No person shall give anything of value to a person hired by the State as an independent contractor based on an understanding that the actions of ABPC or independent contractor on behalf of the State would be influenced.
SECTION 47. Agent for Service of Process. CT Corporation System, Xxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000, is hereby appointed as authorized agent for any service of process directed to ABPC for any action arising out of or as a result of this Lease, such appointment to be in effect through the life of this Lease, including any supplements thereto and six (6) years thereafter. The Secretary of State of the State of Connecticut or his/her successors in office is hereby appointed as authorized agent for any service of process directed to ABPC in the event CT Corporation System shall cease to be such authorized agent for ABPC and ABPC shall fail to appoint a successor agent for any action arising out of or as a result of this Lease, such appointment to be in effect through the life of this Lease, including any supplements thereto and six (6) years thereafter, except as otherwise provided by statute. A duplicate of any notice or document served on the Secretary of State will also be mailed to ABPC.
SECTION 48. Required Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Contract Provisions.
ABPC certifies that it:
A. Is not owned or controlled by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country included in the list of countries that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the Office of the United States Trade Representative;
B. Has not knowingly entered and will not knowingly enter into any contract or subcontract for this project with a contractor that is a citizen or national of a foreign country on said list, or is owned or controlled directly or indirectly by one or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country on said list;
C. Has not procured and will not procure any product, nor subcontracted, nor will subcontract for the supply of any product for use on the project that is produced in a foreign country on said list;
D. Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by the Secretary of Transportation in accordance with 49 CFR 30.17, if a contract shall be awarded to a contractor
66
or subcontractor which knowingly procures or subcontracts for the supply of any product or service of a foreign country on the said list for use on the project, the Federal Aviation Administration may direct, through the sponsor, cancellation of the contract at no cost to the Government;
E. Further, the contractor agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate this provision for certification without modification in each contract and in all lower tier subcontracts. The contractor may rely upon the certification of a prospective subcontractor unless it has knowledge that the certificate is erroneous;
F. The contractor shall provide immediate written notice to the State and ABPC if the contractor learns that its certification or that of a subcontractor was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. The subcontractor shall agree to provide immediate written notice to the contractor, if at any time it learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances;
G. This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making the award. If it is later determined that the contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, the Federal Aviation Administration may direct, through the State and ABPC, cancellation of the contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the government;
H. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by this provision. The knowledge and information of a contractor is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings; and
I. This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States of America and the making of a false and fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to prosecution under Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, Section 1001.
SECTION 49. Suspension or Debarment. Suspended or debarred entities, may not submit proposals for a State contract or subcontract during the period of suspension or debarment regardless of their anticipated status at the time of contract award or commencement of work.
A. The signature on this Lease by ABPC shall constitute certification that to the best of its knowledge and belief, ABPC or any person associated therewith in the capacity of owner, partner, director, officer, principal investigator, project director, manager, auditor or any position involving the administration of federal or state funds:
(a) Is not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from covered transactions by any federal department or agency;
67
(b) Has not within a three-year period preceding this Lease been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against him/her for commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (federal, state or local) transaction or contract under a public transaction, violation of federal or state antitrust statutes or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, or receiving stolen property;
(c) Is not presently indicted for or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity (federal, state or local) with commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph A (b) of this certification; and
(d) Has not within a three-year period preceding this Lease had one or more public transactions (federal, state or local) terminated for cause or default.
B. Where ABPC is unable to certify to any of the statements in this certification, ABPC shall attach an explanation to this Lease. ABPC agrees to insure that the following certification is included in each subcontract agreement to which it is a party, and further, to require said certification to be included in any lower tier subcontracts and purchase orders:
(a) The prospective lower tier participant certifies, by submission of this proposal, that neither it nor its principals is presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction by any federal department or agency.
(b) Where the prospective lower tier participant is unable to certify to any of the statements in this certification, such prospective participant shall attach an explanation to this proposal.
SECTION 50. Covenant as to Tax Exemption.
(a) To the extent compliance is within the control of ABPC, ABPC covenants to comply with each requirement of the Code necessary to maintain the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 103 of the Code and, in furtherance thereof, ABPC shall neither fail to take any action nor consent to the failure to take any action, which such failure to act or consent would cause the interest on the Bonds to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Code.
(b) At least 95 percent of the Net Bond Proceeds shall be used to provide Airport Facilities. ABPC agrees and covenants that no requisition shall be paid for any cost of the Garage which is not a Qualified Cost (other than Issuance Costs) until the date on which the aggregate Qualified Costs (paid on or prior to such date) equals or exceeds 95% of the total
68
costs of the Garage paid from the Net Bond Proceeds. After such date, ABPC may requisition additional costs of the Garage provided that, after payment of such costs, 95% or more of the Net Bond Proceeds requisitioned or transferred on or prior to such date have been or will be used to pay Qualified Costs.
(c) None of the Net Bond Proceeds will be used (i) to provide any airplane, skybox or other private luxury box, or health club facility, any facility primarily used for gambling or any store the principal business of which is the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption off premises or (ii) to acquire existing property or any interest therein unless such acquisition meets the rehabilitation requirements of Section 147(d) of the Code. Less than 25% of the Net Bond Proceeds, if any, will be used, directly or indirectly to acquire land or any interest therein other than land acquired for noise abatement or wetland preservation or for future use as an “airport,” within the meaning of Section 142 of the Code, and as to which land there is no other significant use; no portion of such land is or will be used for farming purposes within the meaning of Section 147 (c)(1) of the Code. No more than 2 percent of the Net Bond Proceeds will be used to pay Issuance Costs.
(d) ABPC shall not invest “gross proceeds” of the Bonds in a manner that causes the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code.
(e) The obligations of ABPC under this Section shall be absolute and unconditional, and the failure of the State, the Trustee or any other person to execute or deliver or cause to be executed or delivered any documents or to take any action required under this Lease or otherwise shall not relieve ABPC of its obligation under this Section. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Trust Indenture or this Lease to the contrary, so long as necessary in order to maintain the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, the covenants contained in this Section shall survive the discharge and satisfaction of the Bonds and the term of this Lease.
SECTION 51. Property Rights on Termination.
A. At all times during the Lease Term, title to all building(s) and capital improvements existing at the Lease Execution Date or constructed and/or installed hereafter on the Leased Premises shall remain in the State, and all fixtures attached to the Leased Premises and property personal or real, acquired with the proceeds of the Bonds and/or the Gross Receipts of the Leased Premises shall become the property of the State at the time they are affixed or acquired to the Leased Premises or acquired.
B. At the termination of this Lease, ABPC shall remove from the Airport all personal or other property not covered by Section 51A hereof which ABPC owns or acquired for operations at the Airport under this Lease Agreement including, without limitation, all operating equipment, tools, furniture, furnishings, merchandise and other items of a temporary or removable character.
C. ABPC shall have the right, exercisable at any time during the term hereof and all renewals and extensions thereof, and for a further period of 15 days thereafter, to remove from the Leased Premises property removable under the provisions of Section 5IB hereof, whether or not affixed to the realty, at any time installed on the Leased Premises by ABPC at its
69
expense under this Lease. ABPC shall repair any damage to the Leased Premises resulting from such removal. ABPC shall not be liable for rent or be deemed a tenant holding over by reason of the fact that it allows any such property to remain on the Leased Premises after the expiration of the Lease Term or any renewal or extension thereof, but all of such property which is not removed within 15 days following the end of the Lease Term, and all renewals and extensions thereof shall be deemed to have been abandoned to the State and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Leased Premises as part thereof.
SECTION 52. Covenants With Respect To the United States of America.
A. This Lease shall be subordinate to the provisions of any existing or future agreement entered into between the State and the United States to obtain federal aid for the improvements, and maintenance or operation of the Airport.
B. In the event that a national emergency shall arise as so declared by the U.S. Congress and the President of the United States, as a result of which the federal government shall take possession of the Airport or a portion thereof, including all or a substantial portion of the Leased Premises, it is agreed by the parties hereto that the State shall not be held liable or responsible or subject to any claims or damages by or to ABPC as a result of said action by the federal government.
SECTION 53. Leasehold Mortgage.
A. The State acknowledges that the purchasers of the Bonds and/or a provider of credit enhancement for the Bonds and/or a provider of Private Debt may require ABPC to mortgage its leasehold estate under this Lease as a precondition to their purchase and/or credit enhancement, respectively, of the Bonds or the provision of such Private Debt. The State hereby consents to the granting of a leasehold mortgage for such purpose.
B. If ABPC does mortgage its leasehold estate under this Lease to secure the interests of the holders of the Bonds and/or a credit enhancer of the Bonds and/or a provider of Private Debt, the Trustee, acting on behalf of the holders of the Bonds and/or such credit enhancement provider and/or such Private Debt provider, as the Trust Indenture shall provide (the “Leasehold Mortgagee”), shall be entitled, in the event such Leasehold Mortgagee forecloses upon or otherwise acquires the leasehold interest of ABPC, to sell, sublet, assign, or otherwise dispose of such leasehold interest, provided the assignee or other party acquiring the leasehold interest is approved by the State, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld nor decision delayed. In the event ABPC is in default under this Lease, the State and ABPC expressly agree that the Leasehold Mortgagee shall be entitled to enter upon the Leased Premises, to perform such curative acts as may be necessary, and/or to operate and manage the Leased Premises, either in its own name and right or on behalf of ABPC
C. The State shall send separate written notice by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Leasehold Mortgagee at such address as the Leasehold Mortgagee shall designate, of any of the following events:
70
(a) The failure of ABPC to perform or comply with any of the provisions or covenants contained in this Lease, the cessation of business operations by ABPC for reasons other than maintenance, replacement, or repair of the Leased Premises, the abandonment of the Leased Premises by ABPC, or any other event which constitutes a default by ABPC under this Lease or for which this Lease may be terminated (any of the foregoing shall constitute a “default” for purposes of this Section 53); or
(b) The occurrence of any event which gives rise to an election by ABPC or the State to cancel or terminate this Lease. All notices shall be given promptly upon the occurrence of any event requiring notice.
D. In the event ABPC fails to cure any default of this Lease within the time allowed hereunder, the State shall provide the Leasehold Mortgagee with separate written notice of the failure of ABPC to cure such default within the time allowed, and the Leasehold Mortgagee shall be allowed an additional period of at least 30 days to cure such default (including taking possession of the Leased Premises if necessary to effect the cure) or to institute foreclosure proceeding (or otherwise acquire title to ABPC’s leasehold estate under this Lease). If such default is one which cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, such default by ABPC shall not result in a termination of this Lease provided the Leasehold Mortgagee is paying all Rent and proceeding to cure such default by ABPC or to foreclose upon ABPC’s leasehold estate. The State grants the Leasehold Mortgagee the right to enter upon the Leased Premises to cure any default by ABPC. The State shall accept any curative acts performed by the Leasehold Mortgagee as though they were performed timely by ABPC.
E. No amendment to this Lease shall be made without the prior express written consent of the Leasehold Mortgagee.
F. The Leasehold Mortgagee shall not be liable for ABPC’s obligations under this Lease unless and until the Leasehold Mortgagee becomes the owner of ABPC’s leasehold estate under this Lease by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, and thereafter shall remain liable for such obligations only so long as it remains the owner of the leasehold estate.
G. The State shall execute and deliver to the Leasehold Mortgagee, upon request from time to time, an estoppel certificate pertaining to the status of payments and the performance of obligations hereunder and to such other information as the Leasehold Mortgagee may reasonably require.
H. The Leasehold Mortgagee shall enjoy the rights granted under this Section 53 until such time as the Bonds are repaid in full and the leasehold mortgage securing such payment is released. The Leasehold Mortgagee shall be entitled but not required, to exercise such rights within its sole discretion.
I. There shall be no merger of the leasehold estate created hereby with the fee or any other estate or interest in the Leased Premises, or any part thereof by reason of the fact that
71
the same person may acquire, own or hold the leasehold estate and the fee or any other estate or interest.
J. The State acknowledges that the contemplated Bond financing is essential to the construction and completion of the Garage and that, subsequent to the Lease Execution Date, the Leasehold Mortgagee may require certain changes or modifications in this Lease to protect the interests of the Bondholders and/or a credit enhancer of the Bonds and/or a provider of Private Debt. Therefore, the State agrees that it will make those changes or modifications requested by the Leasehold Mortgagee in good faith, provided that they do not adversely affect the term of this Lease or any of the economic benefits accruing to the State under this Lease and that they do not increase any of the obligations of the State under this Lease, to the extent allowed by law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set their hands on the day and year first above written.
