(a)
- (1) The vendor will be guaranteed a fair minimum return of one hundred dollars ($100) per week or four hundred dollars ($400) per four-week period.
- (2) He or she will receive a check of two hundred dollars ($200), less vendor-requested deductions, at the end of the second and fourth weeks of the four-week period.
(b)
- (1) In instances when the facility does not produce enough income to allow the vendor to earn the amount of net profit to cover the fair minimum return during the four-week period, the amount of the difference between the net profit earned and the fair minimum return will be paid to the vendor from the set-aside fund.
- (2) However, if during the fiscal year a greater amount of net profit than the fair minimum return is earned, the amount of net profit paid to the vendor will be reduced by the amount necessary to cover the amount paid to the vendor from the set-aside fund during those periods when a subsidy was necessary to guarantee him or her a fair minimum return.
- (c) Should the vendor not earn enough net profits during the fiscal year to return to the set-aside fund the full amount paid to him or her from it to ensure him or her a fair minimum return, the amount still owed by the vendor will be written off as a loss to the set-aside fund and the vendor will no longer be responsible for returning it to the set-aside fund.
