The terms and conditions shall include payment of an amount by the new Party to the WRIA 9 Fiscal Agent.

The payment of the new Party is to be a fair and proportionate share of all costs associated with activities undertaken by the WRIA 9 ILA Parties as of the date the government becomes a new Party.

It is possible that the makeup of the Parties to this Agreement may change from time to time. Regardless of any such changes, the Parties choosing not to exercise the right of termination shall each remain obligated to only meet their respective share of the obligations of the WRIA 9 ILA Parties as reflected in the annual budget. The shares of any terminating Party shall not be the obligation of any of the Parties not choosing to exercise the right of termination. 9.2 This Agreement may be terminated in its entirety at any time by the written agreement of all of the Parties. In the event this Agreement is terminated all unexpended funds shall be refunded to the Parties pro rata based on each Party's cost share percentage of the total budgeted funds and any real or personal property acquired to carry out the purposes of this Agreement shall be returned to the contributing Party if such Party can be identified, and if the Party cannot be identified, the property shall be disposed of and the proceeds distributed pro rata as described above for unexpended funds. 10.
