If any audit other than a payment audit reveals a substantial performance failure of Convergys, Convergys will pay for the reasonable costs of the audit. The parties will meet promptly upon completion of the audit to review the audit findings. Any changes to processes or systems suggested by the auditor as a result of the audit will be subject to the mutual agreement of both parties. Charges for agreed changes shall be negotiated by the parties and subject to the Professional Services Fee Rates.

Applicable personal property taxes, if any, on existing equipment purchased by or assigned to Convergys shall be prorated between the parties as of the Effective Date for the tax year of the taxing jurisdiction in which each item of existing equipment is located as of the Effective Date of this Agreement. 18.3.2 Convergys shall be responsible for any sales, use, excise, value-added, services, consumption, and other taxes and duties payable on any goods or services (collectively, "Sales Taxes") used or consumed by Convergys in providing Services or other work, including taxes imposed on Convergys' acquisition or use of such goods or services, but excluding taxes on pass-through expenses. Any services or Software acquired by Convergys for use by Client shall be purchased exempt for resale where permitted by statute or regulation. If during the course of the performance of the Agreement, Convergys creates or purchases software for Client on which tax could be imposed, Convergys shall, if possible, either obtain or transmit, as appropriate, such Software to Client electronically or separately invoice the Software and the tape, compact disk, or other media to Client. 18.3.3 Each party agrees to fully cooperate with the other to enable each to accurately determine its own tax liability and to minimize such liability to the extent legally permissible. To this end: (i) Convergys' invoices shall separately state the amounts of any taxes Convergys collects from Client; (ii) each party shall provide and make available to the other any resale certificates, information regarding out-of-state or out-of-country sales or use of equipment, materials or services, and other exemption certificates or information reasonably requested by the other party; and (iii) if a tax is assessed on the provision of all or any part of the Services, Software or other work provided to Client, or if a party determines in good faith that such an assessment may be made, the parties shall cooperate in structuring the arrangements between them with respect to the affected items and related invoices so as to exempt the non-taxable portion (if any) of such items from the tax to the extent permitted by law. 18.3.4 Convergys shall promptly notify Client of, and coordinate with Client the response to and settlement of, any claim for taxes asserted by applicable taxing authorities for which Client is responsible hereunder. With respect to any claim arising out of a form or return signed by a party to the Agreement, such party shall have the right to elect to control the response to and settlement of the claim, but the other party shall have the right to participate in responses and settlements appropriate to its potential responsibilities or liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Convergys shall permit Client to control the response to and settlement of any claim which is to be borne 95% or more by Client. Client shall be entitled to any tax refunds or rebates granted to the extent such refunds or rebates are attributable to taxes paid by Client. 19. INVOICING AND PAYMENT 19.1 Invoicing.

All charges and credits to be made or given in a particular month shall be consolidated into a single invoice. Related charges shall be grouped together in a logical manner to facilitate review and verification by Client. Except as expressly stated to the contrary, periodic charges under the Agreement are to be computed on a calendar month basis, and shall be prorated for any partial month. 19.2 Payment Due. Subject to other provisions of this Section, each invoice shall be payable within thirty (30) days after the date of the invoice.

Where Client has prepaid for a service or function for which Convergys is assuming financial responsibility under this Agreement, Convergys shall reimburse Client, upon either party identifying the prepayment, for that portion of such prepaid expense which is attributable to periods on and after the Effective Date. Where Convergys has prepaid for a service or function for which Client or an alternative service provider shall assume financial responsibility following expiration or termination of this Agreement, Client shall reimburse Convergys, upon either party identifying the prepayment, for that portion of such prepaid expense which is attributable to periods on and after expiration or termination of this Agreement. 19.4 Disputed Charges. Client shall pay undisputed charges when such payments are due. Client may withhold payment of particular charges that Client disputes in good faith and in such case, Client shall advise Convergys in writing of the nature of the dispute and the parties shall immediately commence dispute resolution in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanism herein. No interest shall accrue on disputed amounts. No matter what the nature of the dispute, Convergys' obligation to provide Services continues during such dispute, and Convergys and its personnel will continue to use all best efforts to deliver Services in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Charges must be disputed by Client within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the invoice date or they shall be deemed to be approved by Client, except where charges are disputed as the result of an audit under this Agreement. 20.

In the case of Convergys, such cause will only be considered Force Majeure if it is not attributable to a failure by Convergys to provide disaster recovery services as specified in this Agreement or to utilize other operations as a backup where reasonably practicable. 31.2.1 Neither party shall in any circumstances be liable to the other for any loss of any kind whatsoever including but not limited to any damages or abatement of charges whether directly or indirectly caused to or incurred by the other party by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder which is due to Force Majeure. 31.2.2 If either of the parties shall become aware of circumstances of Force Majeure which give rise to or which are likely to give rise to any such failure or delay on its part, it shall forthwith notify the other by the most expeditious method then available and shall inform the other of the period which it is estimated that such failure or delay shall continue. 31.2.3 It is expressly agreed that any failure by Convergys to perform or any delay by Convergys in performing its obligations under this Agreement which results from any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations by any person, firm or company with which Convergys shall have entered into any contract, supply arrangement or sub-contract or otherwise, shall be regarded as a failure or delay due to Force Majeure only in the event that that person, firm or company shall itself be prevented from or delayed in complying with its obligations under such contract, supply arrangement or sub-contract or otherwise as a result of circumstances of Force Majeure. 31.2.4 Client shall not be required to pay for Services which were not performed by Convergys during a Force Majeure condition, and shall be entitled to deduct the price of such Services from any payment due hereunder. 31.2.5 If a Force Majeure event occurs, the party injured by the other's inability to perform may elect to: (a) suspend its performance for the duration of the delaying cause, buy or sell elsewhere the items or Services to be bought or sold hereunder during such time; or (b) resume performance once the delaying cause ceases with an option in the injured party to extend the delivery date up to the length of time the contingency endured. Unless such written notice is given within thirty (30) days after such injured party is apprised of the contingency, (b), above, shall be deemed selected. If any Force Majeure event continues for more than sixty (60) days, the party injured by such event may elect to terminate this Agreement without further penalty or liability to the other party, except for any liability which arose prior to the commencement of the Force Majeure event. 31.3 Applicable Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflicts of law rules. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of any state court located within a district which encompasses assets of a party against which a judgment has been rendered for the enforcement of such judgment or award against the assets of such party. 31.4 Notices.

(c) Using commercially reasonably efforts to minimize or eliminate any potential transfer fees or taxes that might be incurred as a result of the transition. (d) Providing Client and its designee with other information necessary to transition Subscribers and Client Data to the new provider's system subject to an acceptable non disclosure agreement from any third party provider receiving such information. (e) Providing copies of all Client Data on tape. SCHEDULE 14-1 SPECIFIC TERMINATION ASSISTANCE SERVICES The specific Termination Assistance to be provided by Convergys under Schedule 14to this Agreement will include the following: 1) Pre-Migration Services and other Work (a) Provide Client with any Client problem logs from WMS (as defined in Schedule 7) that Client does not already have, reporting back at least two years prior to the effective date of termination or expiration; (b) Freeze all discretionary Custom Development, other than modifications necessary to address processing problems; (c) Provide and coordinate assistance in notifying Convergys' outside vendors of the procedures to be followed during the turnover phase; (d) Assist Client or its designee in the analysis of the space required for data file libraries; (e) Provide asset listings for all leased equipment used by Convergys primarily to perform Services for Client; (f) Provide reasonable access to Key Personnel who were performing Services; and (g) Provide interim tapes of Client Data, as reasonably requested. 2) Migration Services and other Work (a) Deliver to Client all requested Client Data files and other Client Confidential Information; (b) In conjunction with Client or its designee, conduct a rehearsal of the migration prior to cutover as scheduled by Client; (c) Deliver content listings of all requested data files to Client or its designee; (d) Provide reasonable assistance to Client or its designee in loading the data files including assistance in understanding and interpreting fields for data conversion and transfer; (e) Provide all reasonable assistance to Client or its designee with the movement of data from the then existing databases to the new environment; (f) Provide reasonable assistance to Client or its designee with the data communications turnover; and (g) Provide reasonable assistance to Client or its designee in the execution of parallel testing. 3. Post-Migration Services and other Work. Convergys shall return to Client, at Client's request, any remaining property of Client in Convergys' possession or under Convergys' control.
