The PARTY shall be deemed to have withdrawn from this MOA and the remaining PARTIES' cost share allocation shall be adjusted in accordance with the cost allocation formula in Table 1 of Exhibit B. Withdrawal shall not relieve a PARTY’s obligation to pay its proportionate share of costs that were due at the time of the deemed withdrawal.
e. Contingency. Each PARTY’s annual invoice will include a contingency of fifteen percent (15%) for MONITORING SERVICES and fifteen percent (15%) for WMPRELATED TASKS, as shown in Exhibit B.

SGVCOG shall reimburse the entity responsible for implementing the approved purpose or task with WMP-RELATED TASKS Contingency.

iii. Other Uses of Contingency. A PARTY or the PARTIES may utilize all or a portion of the MONITORING SERVICES Contingency and WMP-RELATED TASKS Contingency to pay for any penalties or fines assessed by the Regional Board.

The PARTIES may shift funds collected under this MOA between MONITORING SERVICES and WMP-RELATED TASKS administratively, without an amendment to this MOA, provided that the overall amount does not exceed the total not-to-exceed amount of this MOA or a PARTY’S annual proportional cost, as set forth in Table 1 of Exhibit B, and if approved by a majority consensus, using the process defined in Section 9(c).
