� • j in implementing transfers, it will give written notice to the transferring parties within ten (10) business days after receipt of notice of the transfer. Extraordinary costs means additional costs directly attributable to accommodating transfers and which are not incurred in non - drought years nor simply as a result of the shortage condition itself. Extraordinary costs shall be calculated in accordance with the procedures in the Master Contract and shall be subject to the disclosure and auditing requirements in the Master Contract. In the case of transfers between Suburban Purchasers, such extraordinary costs shall be considered to be expenses chargeable solely to individual Suburban Purchasers and shall be borne equally by the parties to the transfer. In the case of transfers between the SFPUC and a Suburban Purchaser, the SFPUC's share of any extraordinary transfer costs shall not be added to the Suburban Revenue Requirement. 3.4.1. Transfer Limitations. The agency transferring banked water will be allowed to transfer no more than the accumulated balance in its bank. Transfers of estimated prospective banked credits and the "overdrafting" of accounts shall not be permitted. The price of transfer water originally derived from the SFPUC system is to be determined by the transferring parties and is not specified herein. Transfers of banked water shall be in compliance with Section 7.05 of the Master Contract. SECTION 4. WHOLESALE EXCESS USE CHARGES 4.1. Amount of Excess Use Charees. Monthly excess use charges shall be determined by the SFPUC at the time of the declared water shortage consistent with the calendar in Section 6 and in accordance with Section 5.03 of the Master Contract. The excess use charges will be in the form of multipliers applied to the rate in effect at the time the excess use occurs. The same excess use charge multipliers shall apply to the Suburban Purchasers and all Direct City Water Users. The excess use charge multipliers apply only to the charges for water delivered at the rate in effect at the time the excess use occurred. 4.2 Monitorine Suburban Water Use. During periods of voluntary rationing, water usage greater than a customer's allocation (as determined in Section 2) will be indicated on each SFPUC monthly water bill. During periods of mandatory rationing, monthly and cumulative water usage greater than a Suburban Purchaser's shortage allocation and the associated excess use charges will be indicated on each SFPUC monthly water bill. 4.3. Suburban Excess Use Charee Pavments. An annual reconciliation will be made of monthly excess use charges according to the calendar in Section 6. Annual excess use charges will be calculated by comparing total annual purchases for each Suburban Purchaser with its annual shortage allocation (as adjusted for transfers of shortage allocations and banked water, if any). Excess use charge payments by those Suburban Purchasers with net excess use will be paid according to the calendar in Section 6. The SFPUC and the Suburban Purchasers have discussed the possibility of dedicating excess use charges paid by Suburban Purchasers toward the purchase of water from the State Drought Water Bank or other willing sellers in order to provide additional water to the Suburban Purchasers. The parties may continue discussions of this concept in order to develop the accounting and operational details of such a program. However, unless and until the SFPUC and the Suburban Purchasers agree in writing to an amendment of the Plan to implement such a program, excess use charges paid by the Suburban Purchasers constitute "revenues received from the Suburban Purchasers for the sale of water" for purposes to low
