iv. The Reconciliation Adjustment Amount for the prior Service Year shall be payable on or before August 15 of the following calendar year, as described in Section 6. v. If a Party fails to pay an Estimated Payment or Reconciliation Adjustment Amount within 15 days of the date owed, the Party owed shall notify the owing Party which shall have ten (10) days to cure non payment. In the event the Party fails to cure its nonpayment, the amount owed shall accrue interest thereon at the rate of 1% per month from and after the original due date and, in the event the nonpaying Party is the City, the County at its sole discretion may withhold provision of Animal Services to the City until all outstanding amounts are paid. In the event the nonpaying Party is the County, the City may withhold future Estimated Payments until all outstanding amounts are paid. Each Party may examine the other's books and records to verify charges. vi. Unless the Parties otherwise direct, payments shall be submitted to the addresses noted at Section 14.h. c. Payment Obligation Survives Expiration or Termination of Agreement. The obligation of the City (or as applicable, the County), to pay an Estimated Payment Amount or Reconciliation Adjustment Amount for a Service Year included in the term of this Agreement shall survive the Expiration or Termination of this Agreement. For example, if this Agreement terminates on December 31, 2010, the Final Estimated 2010 Payment is nevertheless due on or before January 15, 2011, and the Reconciliation Adjustment Amount shall be payable on or before August 15, 2011. d. The Parties agree the payment and reconciliation formulas in this Agreement (including all Exhibits) are fair and reasonable. 6. Reconciliation of Estimated Payments and Actual Costs and Revenues. In order that the Contracting Parties share costs of the regional Animal Services system based on their actual, rather than estimated, use of Animal Services, there will be an annual reconciliation of actual costs and usage. Specifically, on or before June 30 of each year, the County will reconcile amounts owed under this Agreement for the prior Service Year by comparing each Contracting Party's Estimated Payments to the amount derived by recalculating the formulas in Exhibit C using actual cost, revenue, usage and population data for such Service Period as detailed in Exhibit D. The County shall provide the results of the reconciliation to all Contracting Parties in writing on or before June 30. The Reconciliation Adjustment Amount shall be payable on August 15 of the then current year, regardless of the prior termination of the Agreement as per Section 5.c. Document Dated 5 -28 0 6
