(c) Except to the extent that other arrangements have been or will be made, rental for the use of property not falling under the first sentence of sub-paragraph (a) or under sub-paragraph (b) of this paragraph and which has been or will be reconstructed with funds made available by the Federal Republic or with a sending State's own funds shall be reduced in the proportion which the cost of reconstruction bears to the total value of the property.
(d) Exemption from payment for the use of property as set forth in sub-paragraphs (a) to (c) of this paragraph shall not, however, extend to (i) cost of repairs and maintenance;

The amounts shall in each individual case be agreed between the German authorities and the authorities of the force.
