  therein,  which  shall  not  in  any  event  exceed three years from its
  commencement. Upon request, the corporation may extend the term  of  the
  contract  for up to two additional one year periods for good cause shown
  by the eligible applicant.
    3. The corporation may authorize the eligible applicant to spend up to
  seven  and  a  half  percent  of  the  contract  amount   for   approved
  administrative costs associated with administering the program.
    4.  The  corporation  shall  require  that,  in order to receive funds
  pursuant to this article, the eligible applicant  shall  submit  a  plan
  which  shall include, but not be limited to, program feasibility, impact
  on the community, budget for expenditure of program  funds,  a  schedule
  for  completion of the program, affirmative action and minority business
