Accordingly, the Parties set forth their intent and understandings as follows: I. PURPOSE Capital Metro is the Designated Recipient of Section 5307 Program funding apportioned by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for the Austin urbanized area. This MOU outlines the Parties' mutual intent and understanding with respect to Capital Metro's authorization of City as a direct recipient of FTA Section 5307 Program Funds. City and Capital Metro agree to work cooperatively and in good faith in the manner set forth herein. II. KEY TERMS A. The Parties Mutually Agree: 1. To comply with the requirements of the Urbanized Area Formula Funding Program (49 U.S.C. 5307); 2. Since City is a non-member city of the Austin urbanized area, City would like to become a direct recipient of a share of the Section 5307 Program funding apportioned to Austin urbanized area. 3. City is authorized to apply for a share of Capital Metro's fiscal year 2012 Section 5307 Program funds based upon the distribution formula that will be established in the federal register for the FTA's FY 2012 Section 5307 Apportionment Formula Distribution of Available Funds. 4. The distribution of any amounts payable to City, as a direct recipient, is contingent upon the successful apportionment and distribution of Section 5307 funds to Capital Metro, as the Designated Recipient, for the Austin urbanized area. If the FTA does not apportion or distribute Section 5307 funds to Capital Metro, City will not be eligible to receive funds as a direct recipient. If the FTA reduces the amount of Section 5307 funds available to Capital Metro, City's share of funding will be based upon the reduced amount. Capital Metro will not be liable to City for any damages, which are caused or associated with any FTA changes to the amounts apportioned or distributed to the Austin Urbanized area under the Section 5307.

Capital Metro is not obligated to provide any technical assistance or technical support to City beyond the requirements of FTA Circular FTA C 9030.1D., Urbanized Area Formula Funding Program: Program Guidance and Application Instructions (Circular). 6.

Capital Metro will remain the Designated Recipient of Section 5307 Program funds apportioned by the FTA for the Austin urbanized area; 2.

Capital Metro authorizes City to be a Direct Recipient on a one time basis for FY 2012 Section 5307 funds. This authorization extends to all grant applications for FY 2012 Section 5307 funds submitted by City in accordance with the Section 5307 grant application guidelines. C.
