        g. The Metro Washington Airports Authority enters into an irrevocable written agreement that no Dulles Toll Road funds will be used for improvements to Route 606 in Loudoun County, Dulles Airport Access Road and its access ramps, or any improvements to other airport facilities.

        h. The Metro Washington Airports Authority enters into an irrevocable agreement that, beginning January 1, 2014, for a minimum period of 30 years or such time as tolls are no longer collected on the Dulles Toll Road, whichever comes first, MWAA will provide at least $15 million per year in revenues from airport operations at both Reagan National and Dulles International Airports for Dulles Rail capital costs.
