1.

Pursuant to the terms of the Compact, the Government committed to provide funding as a Government contribution to support implementation of the Compact in an amount equal to no less than seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the amount of funding provided by MCC in the Compact (the “Government Contributionsâ€).
2.

The Compact and its related documents can be found on the MCC website (www.mcc.gov) and on the website of the MiDA.
