percent thereafter of the total revenue  wagered  at  the  vendor  track
after payout for prizes to be used by the vendor track for the marketing
and  promotion  and  associated  costs of its video lottery gaming oper-
ations and pari-mutuel horse racing operations,  as  long  as  any  such

allowance shall not exceed eight percent in any year for any operator of

CLE  SHALL BE ENTITLED TO A VENDOR FEE OF NOT LESS THAN 20.25 PERCENT IN
THE FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD  YEARS  OF  VIDEO  LOTTERY  GAMING  AT  SUCH
