date of the notice of underexpenditure, overexpenditure or misexpenditure or
from the date of receipt of the notice,whichever is later, to pay County in full or
notify County that it wishes to engage in the appeals process set forth in the
Appeals Process section below. If Contractor fails to respond within that 90

b) Appeals Process. Upon receipt of the final notice, if Contractor notifies County
that it wishes to engage in the Appeals Process, Contractor and County shall
engage in non-binding discussions to give the Contractor an opportunity to
present reasons why it believes that there was no underexpenditure,

expenditure that was officially reinterpreted after the expenditure. If County and
Contractor reach agreement on the amount owed to County, Contractor shall
promptly repay that amount to County by issuing payment to County. If County
