(a) The lead participant shall pay the initial $25,000,000 of the costs of the development and construction of the qualified project.
(b) Payments after the initial payment required by paragraph (a) must be pro rata, based on the percentage of the total cost of the qualified project described in paragraph (c) of subsection 3 of NRS 231.3725 to be paid from approved matching funds and those to be paid by all other sources of project funding as set forth in an application approved by the Office pursuant to NRS 231.3725 , except that such pro rata allocation must be adjusted such that the matching funds are used to pay the last $10,000,000 in project costs.
