contribute toward the bridge cost.

the City of Allen:
a. 1st installment ($600,000) in 2015,
b. 2nd installment ($700,000) in 2016, and
c. a final installment if necessary (for the balance unreimbursed) in 2017.
3. WCO is currently expanding the existing retail space with an approximately 128,000 square
foot, five story building (Building V is being constructed at this time). Consequently, the TIF
reimbursement rate will be adjusted back up to 50% upon occupancy of that building.

Boulevard. WCO will be responsible to install sidewalks along Montgomery Boulevard and
