If such accounting firm correctly identifies a discrepancy made during such period, the appropriate Party shall pay the other Party the amount of the discrepancy within [***] of the date of delivery of such accounting firm’s written report so correctly concluding, or as otherwise agreed upon by the Parties. The fees charged by such accounting firm shall be paid by the auditing Party, provided that if the underpayment or overcharge exceeds [***], the audited Party shall pay the fees.

The auditing Party shall treat all financial information subject to review under this Section 8.6(c) in accordance with the confidentiality and non-use provisions of this Agreement, and shall cause its accounting firm to enter into an acceptable confidentiality agreement with the audited Party obligating it to retain all such Confidential Information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.
