fifteen (15) business days of receipt of all such reports and supporting documentation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the City shall not be required to pay
Contractor any amount that exceeds the then-current balance of District revenues or that
is not in accordance with the Budget and Service Plan for the then-current fiscal year.

Administrator. This work report shall detail all of the Contractor's significant work
activities in the District. The format of the report shall be mutually agreed upon by the
Contractor and the Administrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
payments to Contractor may be withheld if any such report is not received. The
Administrator shall have the right to verify that the report is complete and accurate.
6.3. Insufficient District Funds.
In the event that District revenues are not available or are insufficient for the City
to make any payment to Contractor hereunder, the City will promptly notify Contractor.
At Contractor's request, the City and the Contractor shall meet and attempt to negotiate

reduced to correspond to the amount of District funds that are available or are anticipated
to become available. If such an amendment cannot be successfully negotiated,
Contractor shall have the right to pay the deficit (on a non-reimbursable basis), in which
case this Agreement shall continue in effect. If such an amendment cannot be
successfully negotiated and Contractor does not elect to fund the deficit, either party may
terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days' advance written notice to the other party.

employees or subcontractors to engage in such discrimination. This Agreement is made and
entered into with reference specifically to the ordinances codified at Chapter 17, Article III,
Division 3 (Employment Practices) of the Code of the City of Fort Worth, and Contractor hereby
covenants and agrees that Contractor, its officers, agents, employees and subcontractors, have
