amount" in order to partially repay developer for monies paid by developer
to provide for the construction of the water and sewer facilities

determined in accordance with Paragraph 4 of the agreement, only for

various methods, all of which are specified in the agreement, including,
but not limited to, a reimbursement from other devleopers within the
