				license categories not to exceed the maximum fee for each category as set forth
				in this chapter. In its discretion, the Commission may establish
				classifications within a license category to establish a license fee structure
				for the category that reflects cost of administration and regulation need for
				each classification of license. The Commission will review its license fee
				structure annually and include an analysis in its annual report. Applicants for
				each category of license must apply on forms approved by the Commission to be
				accompanied by the corresponding license application fee. All application fees
				are non-refundable.

				Company to conduct Authorized Games as defined by the Act under the regulation,
				implementation, and enforcement of the Commission. The License authorizes the
				approved Authorized Gaming Operator to acquire, own, lease, possess, and
				operate Gaming Devices at a Licensed Racetrack Enclosure. The term of a Gaming
				Operator License is a minimum of twenty (20) years for a fee of five million
				dollars ($5,000,000.00) on each authorized gaming operator for each licensed
				racetrack enclosure payable to the commission. The license fee may be paid over
