November 1 and May 1 of that fiscal year. (Example: if City so certifies in December, 2012,
the Economic Development Grants in respect thereof would be paid to the Developer on
November 1, 2013, and May 1, 2014.)
3.4 The Economic Development Grants shall be payable from and secured solely and
only by the Developer Tax Increments paid to City that, upon receipt, shall be deposited

Block TIF Account of City. City hereby covenants and agrees to maintain its TIF ordinance
in force during the term hereof and to apply the incremental taxes collected in respect of
the Minimum Improvements and allocated to the Betty Jane Block TIF Account to pay the
Economic Development Grants, as and to the extent set forth in Section 3.2 hereof. The

revenues, or by general taxation or from any other City funds. City makes no
representation with respect to the amounts that may be paid to Developer as the Economic
