Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, in any annual period of an employer who has qualified for an EDGE incentive, the EDGE incentive shall terminate and the employer shall pay to the city all of the occupational license fees withheld by the employer during that annual period; and, thereafter, the employer shall no longer be eligible or qualified for any EDGE incentive for the new or expanded eligible business activity by which the employer was qualified for it:
(A) The employer fails to comply with any of the requirements of § 37.05 or any other provision of this chapter;
(B) The employer reports to the city or actually pays to the city gross wages to all of the employees of that employer for work in the new or expanded eligible business activity in the city that is less than the amounts of gross wages required by the chapter to qualify for the EDGE incentive;
(C) The employer engages in any sexually oriented business activities, including, without limitation, those of sexually oriented businesses or sexual encounter establishments as elsewhere defined and regulated in other ordinances of the city; or
(D) The employer receives incentives from the Commonwealth that involve occupational license fees for which the city is contributing to those incentives. Those jobs not incentivized through a Commonwealth incentive package, such as Ohio or Indiana resident jobs, may be offered an additional EDGE incentive.
