In 2046, the City will remit a payment to Tolles in the amount of $53,822. Over the 33 -year period, these payments are expected to total $1,236,702. In return for this annual payment, the City will have the ability to authorize various tax incentives, including TIFs, within the BSD that provide for the following (for each incentive authorized): ■ Years 1— 15 — DCS agrees to forego 100% of the applicable real estate taxes in respect of the improvements to any particular parcel within the applicable tax incentive district. ■ Years 16 — 30 — DCS will receive 10% of what it would have received if the applicable tax incentive district had not been in place.

Once the City makes such determination, either initially by October 31, 2016 or subsequently by any succeeding October 31, then commencing in the next succeeding calendar year: (1) the Applicable Percentages as set forth in Section 1(a) shall be applied for computations required in respect of any succeeding calendar year; provided that notwithstanding an interim adjustment of the Applicable Percentage to twenty -five percent (25 %), once the Applicable Percentages are restored in accordance with this Section l(c)(ii)(C), the Applicable Percentage of zero percent (0 %) shall apply to the initial fifteen (15) calendar years of the exemption of the Improvement to each Parcel (excluding the year(s) of adjustment required by Section I (c)(ii)(A)). Example: For purposes of an example, the Parties agree that assuming the Improvement to a Parcel is initially exempt in calendar year 2015 and the Applicable Percentage is adjusted pursuant to this Section I (c)(ii)(A) to twenty -five (25 %) for calendar years 2017 through 2019, then the School District's Applicable Percentage for each of the thirty (30) years of the exemption would be as follows: Applicable Applicable Calendar Years Percentage Calendar Years Percentage 2015 thru 2016 0% 2020 thru 2032 0% 2017 thru 2019 25% 2033 thru 2044 10% (2) the City will resume making the payments required by Section 1(b) with any adjustments as maybe required by Section l (c)(iii). (iii) Once the City determines, either initially by October 31, 2016 or subsequently by any succeeding October 31, that Section I(c)(ii)(C) is satisfied, then no later than November 15 in each of the years 2016 through 2046, the City shall determine the Projected Compensation Variance. Such determination will be provided in writing to the School District within thirty (30) days following such determination. The Parties agree that if the Projected Compensation Variance is (A) equal to or greater than zero dollars ($0), then the payment required by Section 1(b) in the next succeeding calendar year shall be increased by the value of the Projected Compensation Variance, provided that in no event shall the annual payment required by Section l(b) exceed $36,965 or (B) less than zero dollars ($0), then the payment required by Section l (b) in the next succeeding calendar year shall be decreased by the absolute value of the Projected Compensation Variance. Example: For purposes of an example, the Parties agree that EDIT B attached hereto generally demonstrates the adjustments which may be required by this Section l (c)(iii).
