Said estimated costs shall be reduced by an allocation of late payment penalty fees billed by the District, based upon the Agency's portion of total revenue billed. During the fiscal year in which the billing and collection of the Agency's sewer service charge is commenced, the Agency shall pay to the District, on a monthly basis, said estimated cost plus the amortized payment amount towards the Agency's prorated share of the fixed asset or Customer Information System (CIS) replacement or upgrade in the next 10 years (as set forth in Exhibit A).

If the District's actual costs are greater than the estimated costs paid by the Agency, the Agency shall pay the difference to the District within thirty (30) days of the District's invoice therefor. If the District's actual costs are less than the estimated costs paid by the Agency, the District will apply a credit to the Agency's account.
