14.19 Audits. On thirty (30) days’ written notice, each Party must provide the other the
ability and opportunity to conduct an annual audit of the traffic reported. BellSouth
and TC SYTEMS shall retain records of call detail for a minimum of nine months
from which a PLU, PLF and/or PIU can be ascertained. The audit shall be
accomplished during normal business hours at an office designated by the Party
being audited. Audit requests shall not be submitted more frequently than one (1)
time per calendar year. Audits shall be performed by a mutually acceptable
independent auditor paid for by the Party requesting the audit. The PLU, PLF,
and/or PIU shall be adjusted based upon the audit results and shall apply to the usage
for the quarter the audit was completed, to the usage for the quarter prior to the
completion of the audit, and to the usage for the two quarters following the
completion of the audit. If, as a result of an audit, either Party is found to have
overstated the PLU, PLF and/or PIU by twenty percentage points (20%) or more,
that Party shall reimburse the auditing Party for the cost of the audit.
