We will invoice the City monthly for our services. Invoices are <br />payable on presentation. A finance charge of 1% per month will be added to fees billed <br />but not received before the end of the month following the month of our invoice. This <br />corresponds to an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 12%. No finance charge will be <br />imposed on unpaid finance charges. Also, our fees will be payable in full regardless of <br />findings that result from this engagement. <br />Provisions for Adjustment in Fixed Fee Arrangement <br />The quotes stated above for each of these phases is estimated based upon the <br />following assumptions: <br />AT&T and Time Warner will complete, sign and return all of our questionnaire <br />addenda, together with all requested documents and AT&T and Time Warner <br />prepared schedules. <br />AT&T and Time Warner will have personnel available who are knowledgeable <br />regarding franchise fees, PEG fees, and video users tax reporting to work with <br />DE&CO and CSG and DE&CO.. <br />• No travel time or expenses to either AT&T corporate offices in Texas or and Time <br />Warner's corporate offices in Stanford, CT. <br />Should AT&T and Time Warner not provide the requested questionnaires, information or <br />documents, or should we need to travel to out of state, we will communicate these <br />circumstances to the City in writing.
