Financial Self-Sufficiency New Provision

Section 3.07 Financial Self Sufficiency.
It is the intention of this Agreement that City bond funds be joined with Non-City Sources to
launch and assist the Fair Park revitalization, but it is also intended that the revitalization be
managed so that, in a reasonable period of time, the Foundation and Fair Park tenants/operations
become substantially self-sufficient as the major components of the Vision/Redevelopment Plan
(Section 4.03(b)) have been realized. After five (5) years, the Management Fee shall be reduced
by the lesser of $1,000,000 or ten (10) percent of the then current annual Management Fee each
year until the Management Fee is reduced to and fixed at Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($7,500,000) each year. A process for accomplishing financial self-sufficiency shall be
that the Foundation and its non-profit tenants shall be responsible for creating supporting
organizations to raise needed operating and endowment funds which, together with admission
charges and other revenue sources, will provide substantial financial support in all capital and
operating expenses, including building maintenance, restoration and other improvements. Any
for-profit tenant must provide for its own operating and capital financial needs.
