If however, it is found that this amount is <br />insufficient to pay the Local Government's obligation, then the Local Government will within thirty (30) days <br />after receipt of a written request from the State for additional funds, transmit to the State such supplemental <br />amount as is requested. Upon completion of the highway project and in the event the total amount as paid by the <br />Local Government is more than ten percent (10%) of the actual cost of the right of way, any excess amount will <br />be returned to the Local Government by the State. <br /> <br />In the event any existing, future, or proposed Local Government ordinance, commissioners court order, rule, <br />policy, or other directive, including but not limited to those concerning outdoor advertising, are more restrictive <br />than State law, policy, or directive, and thereby result in any increased costs, then the Local Government will <br />pay one hundred percent (100%) of all such increased costs, even if the applicable county qualifies as an <br />economically disadvantaged county. The amount of the increased costs associated with the existing, future, or <br />proposed Local Government ordinance, order, rule, policy, or other directive will be determined by the State at <br />its sole discretion. <br /> <br />The cost of providing such right of way acquired by the State shall mean the total value of compensation paid, <br />either through negotiations or eminent domain proceedings, to the owners for their property interests, including <br />but not limited to utility owners involving expenses related to the relocation, removal or adjustment of eligible <br />utilities. <br /> <br />EXHIBIT A <br />
