(1) forty-three and one-half percent for a vendor track located more
than fifteen miles but less than fifty miles from a destination resort
gaming facility authorized pursuant to article thirteen of the racing,
pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law;

(2) forty-nine percent for a vendor track located within fifteen miles
of a destination resort gaming facility authorized pursuant to article

§2703(8);

(5) forty-nine percent for a video lottery gaming facility authorized
pursuant to paragraph five of subdivision a of section sixteen hundred
seventeen-a of this article;

(B-1) Notwithstanding subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, for the

development zone two and is located within Ontario county, the
additional vendor fee received by the vendor track shall be calculated
pursuant to subclause one of this clause; provided, however, such
additional vendor fee shall not exceed ten percent.

(1) The additional vendor fee is a percentage of the total revenue
wagered at the vendor track after payout for prizes pursuant to this
chapter. That percentage is calculated by subtracting the effective tax
rate on all taxable gross gaming revenue paid by a gaming facility
within the same region as the vendor track from the percentage that is
ninety percent less than the percentage of the vendor track's vendor
fee. For purposes of this clause, Seneca and Wayne counties shall be
deemed to be located within region six of development zone two.

(2) The additional vendor fee paid pursuant to this clause shall
commence with the state fiscal year beginning on April first, two

vendor track is open and operating pursuant to an operation certificate
issued pursuant to section thirteen hundred thirty-one of the racing,
pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law.

* (B) for a vendor track that is located within Oneida county, within
fifteen miles of a Native American class III gaming facility, such
additional vendor fee shall be six and four-tenths percent of the total
revenue wagered at the vendor after payout for prizes pursuant to this
chapter. The vendor track shall forfeit this additional vendor fee for
any time period that the vendor track does not maintain at least seventy
percent of full-time equivalent employees as they employed in the year
two thousand sixteen.

the purpose of enhancing purses at such track. One and one-half percent

the organization authorized to represent its horsemen to increase or
decrease the portion of its vendor fee dedicated to enhancing purses at
such track during the years of participation by such track, or to race
fewer dates than required herein.

3. Nothing in paragraph two of this subdivision shall affect any
agreement in effect on or before the effective date of this paragraph,
except that the obligation to pay funds to the gaming commission to
promote and ensure equine health and safety and the obligation to pay
funds to an account established pursuant to section two hundred
twenty-one-a of the racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law to be

joint, multi-jurisdiction, and out-of-state video lottery gaming, shall
be designed in such a manner as to pay prizes that average no less than

paragraph a of subdivision eight of section two hundred twelve of the
racing, pari-mutuel wagering and breeding law, the state, pursuant to an
agreement with the video lottery gaming operator to operate a video
lottery terminal facility at Aqueduct, may authorize, as part of such

corporation shall not be eligible to compete to operate or to operate a
video lottery terminal facility at Aqueduct. The state will use its best
efforts to ensure that the video lottery terminal facility at Aqueduct
is opened as soon as is practicable and will, if practicable, pursue the
construction of a temporary video lottery terminal facility at Aqueduct
subject to staying within an agreed budget for such video lottery
terminal facility and subject to such temporary facility not having an
adverse impact on opening of the permanent facility at Aqueduct. To
facilitate the opening of the video lottery gaming facility at Aqueduct
as soon as is practicable, the division of the lottery may extend the
term of any existing contract related to the video lottery system.

Any portion of such funding to the gaming commission unused during a
fiscal year shall be returned on a pro rata basis in accordance with the
amounts originally contributed and shall be used for the purpose of
enhancing purses at such tracks. One and one-half percent of the gross
purse enhancement amount, as required by this subdivision, shall be paid
