Company intends to expend or cause the expenditure by the Completion Deadline of at least Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00) in Construction Costs for the Project Improvements with Fort Worth Companies (the "Fort Worth Construction Commitment"). The extent to which Company meets the Fort Worth Construction Commitment, expressed as a percentage (the "Fort Worth Construction Percentage"), will be used as the first of two mases for calculation of the Local Spending Credit, which,as further defined in Section 2, is an amount deducted from the Required Minimum Annual Revenue that the City is entitled to retain each year before paying Company a Program Errant for that year. For example, if Company only expended or caused the expenditure by the Completion Deadline of Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000.00) in Construction Costs for the Project improvements with Fort Worth Companies, the Fart Worth Construction Percentage will be eighty percent (80%) ($40 million/$50 million). In that case, $150,000.00 of the Local Spending Credit attributable to the Fort Worth Construction Commitment would be reduced to $120,000.00 (80% of $150,0+04.00). if Company expends or causes the expenditure by the Completion Date of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00) or more in Construction Costs for the Project Improvements with Fort Worth Companies, the Fort Worth Construction Percentage will be one hundred percent (100%), meaning that Company will be entitled to the full $150,000.00 of the Local Spending Credit attributable to the Fort Worth Construction Commitment.

The extent to which Company meets the MfWBE Construction Commitment, expressed as a percentage (the "MIW1liE Construction Percentage"), will be used as the second of two bases for calculation of the Local Spending Credit. For example, if Company only expended or caused the expenditure by the Completion Deadline of Twenty-two Page 12 Economic Development Program Agreement between City orFort Worth and Winner,3_.I_C Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($22,500,000.00) in Construction Costs for the Project improvements with Fort Worth Certified MIWBE Companies, the MIWBE Construction Percentage will be ninety percent(90%) ($22.5 million/$25 million). In that case, $100,000.00 of the Local Spending Credit attributable to the Fort Worth Construction Commitment would be reduced to $90,000.00 (90% of $100,000.00). If Company expends or causes the expenditure by the Completion Date of Twenty-five Million Dollars ($2.5,000,000.00) or more in Construction Costs for the Project improvements with Fort Worth Certified MIWBE Companies, the MIWBE Construction Percentage will be one hundred percent(100%), meaning that Company will be entitled to the full $100,000.[0 of the Local Spending Credit attributable to the N4/WISE Construction Commitment_ Construction Cost expenditures made with Fort Worth Certified MlWBE Companies after the Completion Deadline will not be measured for purposes of the M/WBE Construction Commitment or included in the calculation of the MIWBE Construction Percentage. 4.4.
