MDA may assist Applicants in meeting the required per-seat fare minimums for New Service and/or Additional Service. In the event that a Mississippi Entity negotiates an agreement with an Applicant to bring Additional Service or New Service to the state but the Mississippi Entity cannot meet the necessary minimum fares required by the Applicant, MDA may enter into a grant agreement with the Applicant to cover the difference between what the Mississippi Entity can commit to pay and what the Applicant requires (hereinafter "Seat Cost Mitigation"). Seat Cost Mitigation is a Category 1 grant and therefore cannot be paired with a Revenue Guaranty or Seat Guaranty.
