The fee provided for in clause A.1), above, will be adjusted as follows during any of the following periods that fall within the term of this Agreement: (a) commencing on the third (3rd) annual anniversary of the Execution Date and continuing until the fifth (5th) annual anniversary of the Execution Date, the fee provided for in clause A.1), above, will be four dollars and thirty cents ($4.30); and (b) if the term of this Agreement is for more than five (5) years, then, commencing on the fifth (5th) annual anniversary of the Execution Date and continuing on each annual anniversary of the Execution Date thereafter throughout the remaining term of this Agreement, the fee provided for in clause A.1), as previously adjusted, will increase by an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the fee under clause A.1) that is in effect immediately prior to the respective anniversary, and the fee, as so increased, will thereupon become the fee payable under clause A.1) unless and until further adjusted in accordance with this clause (b). An animal license will be considered “issued” for purposes of this Agreement regardless of the means, method, program, process, or agency used for the issuance or registration of the license, and whether or not a fee or other consideration is charged or received by the CITY for the license. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an animal license that is donated or issued free of charge by the CITY or that is issued as part of a bundling of CITY services or programs will be considered “issued” for purposes of this Agreement. Further, any animal license that is processed by CONTRACTOR for CITY during the term of this Agreement will be considered “issued” for purposes of this Agreement, whether or not the license was or is actually issued or delivered before, during, or after the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 7A, the Parties agree that CONTRACTOR’s minimum aggregate fees under this Section 7A are six thousand dollars ($6,000.00) per calendar year. In order to assure the payment of such minimum aggregate annual fees to CONTRACTOR, the Parties agree that if the aggregate fees payable to CONTRACTOR under this Section 7A for a calendar month would, but for the application of this sentence, be less than five hundred dollars ($500.00), then the aggregate fees payable to CONTRACTOR under this Section 7A for that calendar month will be five hundred dollars ($500.00). However, the foregoing minimum monthly amount will not be applicable if the aggregate fees paid to CONTRACTOR under this Section 7A have already equaled or exceeded, or in the opinion of CONTRACTOR are reasonably expected to otherwise equal or exceed, six thousand dollars ($6,000.00) for that calendar year. If the aggregate annual fees paid to CONTRACTOR under this Section 7A during any calendar year do not equal or exceed six thousand dollars ($6,000.00), then CITY shall pay an amount equal to the positive difference between (i) six thousand dollars ($6,000.00) and (ii) the amount previously paid to CONTRACTOR for that calendar year, upon demand by CONTRACTOR. The six thousand dollars ($6,000.00) minimum annual amount shall be prorated for any partial calendar year during the term of this Agreement. No delay or failure on the part of CONTRACTOR in imposing or collecting the aforesaid monthly minimum amount shall affect CONTRACTOR’s right to receive the aforesaid minimum aggregate annual fees or to collect the aforesaid minimum aggregate monthly amount either then or in the future. CITY acknowledges that the aforesaid minimum fee amounts apply only to the fees payable to CONTRACTOR under this Section 7A, and do not include, by way of example and not by way of limitation, any Start-Up Fee payable to CONTRACTOR under Section 7B. The fees paid to CONTRACTOR under this Section 7A are further subject to reasonable adjustment in the event that CITY adds, modifies, or eliminates any fees that are charged to Licensees during the term of this Agreement. CITY and CONTRACTOR agree to negotiate any such reasonable adjustments in good faith.
