Operational Audits.

During the Audit Period, Supplier shall, and shall cause its Subcontractors to, provide to Ascension Health (and internal and external auditors, inspectors, regulators and other representatives that Ascension Health may designate from time to time, including third parties to the extent any Eligible Recipient is legally or contractually obligated to submit to audits by such entities that relate to the Services (collectively, “Permitted Auditors”)) access at reasonable hours to Supplier Personnel, to systems used by Supplier to provide ASP Services, to the facilities at or from which ASP Services are then being provided and to Supplier records and other pertinent information, all to the extent relevant to the ASP Services, usage of third party software and Ascension Health Data and Supplier’s obligations under this ASP Agreement, including Supplier’s obligations with respect to an applicable disaster recovery/business continuity plan. If an audit is performed to determine whether deficiencies identified in a prior audit have been remediated, and such audit determines that such deficiencies have not been remediated, Supplier shall promptly reimburse Ascension Health for the actual cost of such audit attributable to the failed area and any incremental follow-up audit to verify that such breach has been corrected.
