Operator shall only spend, transfer, or move operating funds from its commercial account to pay Reimbursable Expenses and shall not co-mingle the operating funds with any other assets or funds, except as otherwise approved in writing by the Aviation General Manager.

Certified Monthly Statements. By the tenth (10th) day of each month, Operator shall detail its budgeted Reimbursable Expenses in the Certified Monthly Statement. The monthly statement shall include a certification that the City has not previously reimbursed Operator for any of the itemized costs and expenses.

Within a 30-day period, the City shall notify Operator in writing of its objection to any item or items or expense which it deems to be non- reimbursable.

Should the Aviation General Manager determine that the expense is not reimbursable, the amount of such expense shall be deducted from Operator's subsequent Management Fee payment.

Remittances. Remittances due the City for monthly reconciliation shall be deposited directly in the City's account. Otherwise, all remittances due the City shall reference the Ground Transportation operation and be forwarded to:

City of Atlanta, Department of Aviation

P.O. Box 16948

Atlanta, Georgia 30320

Attention: Accounts Receivable

Late Charges. Without waiving any other right of action available to the City in the event of default in payment of charges and fees hereunder, if Operator fails to make a payment to the City when due and said failure continues for a consecutive period of 30 days, late charges will be assessed. Late charges may consist of interest and penalties. Thereafter, late charges will be assessed for each additional 30-day period or portion thereof that the payment is late.

The interest rate for late payments shall be at the rate per annum which is 4% higher than the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was due.

To the extent Operator regularly fails to make timely payment of charges and fees required under the Agreement, the City may, in addition to interest, assess reasonable and proportionate penalties in the discretion of the Aviation General Manager.

Management Fee. In addition to the City's reimbursement of the Reimbursable Expenses, subject to the limitations contained in the Agreement and as compensation for all services rendered by Operator during the Term, the City shall pay to Operator a Management Fee. The Management Fee shall be inclusive of the fees paid for the costs of managing the Permitted Subcontracting Activities/Services identified herein.

Management Fee Amount. Upon receipt of Operator's Certified Monthly Statement, the City shall pay to Operator monthly, in arrears, one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual Management Fee amounts as depicted in Exhibit A.1. The Fee shall be paid to Operator in accordance with the Payment terms of the Agreement.

Right of Offset. The City shall have the right to offset against and deduct from the Management Fees payable to Operator any amounts due the City from Operator, including, but not limited to, unauthorized or disputed expenses and penalties as described herein. If the City pays any sum or incurs any obligations or expense because of the failure, inability, neglect, or refusal of Operator to perform or fulfill any of the terms or conditions of the Agreement that it is obligated to perform or fulfill, then the City shall have the right to deduct said expenses from Operator's Management Fee.

Adjustments to Management Fee. If, for any reason, the number of pre-approved staffing hours (excluding hours allocated to management, supervisory, training, administrative personnel, and subcontracted personnel) in accordance with Section C.1,Staffing Levels (P8) exceeds one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base for a period of more than ninety (90) days, Operator shall be entitled, upon request, to an increase in its Management Fee for the actual period during which staffing hours exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of the approved Base. For the purposes of this computation, the "Base" equals the staffing hours detailed in the approved operating budget for a given Contract Year, reduced by all hours allocated to management, supervisory, training, administrative personnel, and subcontracted personnel. As soon as staffing levels cease to exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Base, the Management Fee will return to the original Management Fee amount for the relevant Contract Year. The baseline staffing levels for year one (1) shall be determined as a part of the initial staffing plan and will be reviewed within five (5) business days of the notice to proceed. The amount of the increase in Management Fee shall be calculated by multiplying 0.40 times each whole percentage point increase above the Base. For example, a 16% increase in staffing hours over the Base will warrant a negotiation of a 6.4% increase in the Management Fee (16% X 0.40 = 6.4%). Upon any reduction in staffing hours that exceeds 10% of the Base, the Management Fee will be reduced using the same methodology. Other examples of the calculation appear in the below scenarios which compare to the Base. Except as provided in this Section, the Management Fee for any Contract Year shall not be adjusted.

Expiration or Termination Other than End of Month. If the Term shall end on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the payment of the Management Fee shall be prorated based upon the number of days in the month.

OPERATOR REPORTING RESPONSIBILITIES

The Operator shall, at the Commencement Date and with the submission of payroll supporting documentation, report to the City all wages and benefits paid to Operator's employees assigned to or working in the Airport's Curbside Management Services program.

The occurrence of any of the following situations may result in the imposition of liquidated damages. Operator agrees that the following fees are fair and reasonable, that they may be deducted from its Management Fee. The City will notify Operator within 30 days following the incident whether it intends to assess penalties. Failure to impose liquidated damages for a particular violation shall not bar the City from imposing liquidated damages for subsequent violations of the same nature. Liquidated damages will be deducted from the monthly installment of the Management Fee. The City reserves the right to waive the assessment of liquidated damages if Operator is able to provide supporting documentation to dispute a violation, which must be reviewed and approved by the City. The liquidated damages remedy is in addition to all other rights and remedies of the City.

Interest and Late Fees. In the event Operator is required to remit funds to the City (e.g., as a result of audit or damages for non-compliance) and fails to remit said funds within 30 days of City's request, the City shall assess interest and late fees. Additionally, late fees will be assessed for each additional 30-day period thereafter.
