If such remaining portion is not sufficient to reimburse interested public and private entities for the full amount that such entities contributed to the acquisition or betterment of the Real Property and, if applicable, Facility, then the amount available shall be distributed as such entities may agree in writing, and if such entities cannot agree by an appropriately issued court order.
