RECORDS AND AUDITS


 







Section 4.1 Records  Maintenance   and  Audits.  For a period of one year following termination of this Agreement, CPL shall maintain records and other evidence sufficient to accurately and properly reflect the performance of the Services hereunder and the amounts due CPL determined in accordance with Article III.

In the event of a good faith  dispute as to the amount and/or propriety of any invoices or any portions thereof submitted by CPL to Allied pursuant to Section 3.2, Allied shall pay all undisputed charges on such invoice, and shall be entitled to dispute any amount on such invoice in which case Allied shall promptly notify CPL in writing of such disputed amounts and the reasons each such charge is disputed by Allied.

In the event the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days after the invoice becomes due, the matter shall be submitted to arbitration as set forth in Section 10.2 of this Agreement. The fees and expenses related to such resolution of the dispute shall be borne by CPL and Allied in inverse proportion  as they may prevail on matters resolved through arbitration, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined through arbitration at the time the arbitration determination is rendered on the merits of the matter submitted. In the event the arbitration determination is that Allied should have paid the disputed amount, in addition to paying the disputed amount to CPL, Allied agrees to pay interest on the disputed amount from the date the dispute  amount  was originally due to CPL until paid by Allied, which interest shall be calculated daily at the Agreed Rate.  For purposes of this Agreement, the "Agreed Rate" shall be LIBOR plus 2.0%.
