Project/Milestones Taxpayer is a manufacturer and distributor of eyeglass lenses. In consideration for the Credit, Taxpayer agrees to hire full-time employees and invest in manufacturing equipment, computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, and tenant improvements as part of its expansion in Torrance and Los Angeles County, California (collectively, the “Project”). Further, Taxpayer agrees to satisfy the milestones as described in Exhibit A (“Milestones”) and must maintain Milestones for a minimum of three (3) taxable years thereafter. In the event Taxpayer employs more than the number of full-time employees, determined on an annual full-time equivalent basis, than required in Exhibit A, for purposes of satisfying the “Minimum Annual Wage of California Full-time Employees Hired” and the “Cumulative Average Annual Wage of California Full-time Employees Hired,” Taxpayer may use the wages of any of the full-time employees hired within the required time period. For purposes of calculating the “Minimum Annual Wage of California Full-time Employees Hired” and the “Cumulative Average Annual Wage of California Full-time Employees Hired,” the wage of any full-time employee that is not employed by Taxpayer for the entire taxable year shall be annualized. In addition, the wage of any full-time employee hired to fill a vacated position in which a full-time employee was employed during Taxpayer’s Base Year shall be disregarded.
