obtain and deliver to PTL a receipt and a11 other documents necessary for PTL to
claim a Foreign Tax Credit.
5.5 If Licensee purchases licenses for Software other then the Test Environment
or uses the Test Environment in any manner not contemplated under this
Agreement, PTL may have a third party audit, no more than once per calendar
year, Licensee's records relating to the Software to determine whether Licensee
has correctly reported and calculated all of the Associated Fees due PTL. The
auditor shall be an accredited independent auditor from a recognized accounting
firm, and be mutually agreed upon by Licensee and PTL, with Licensee's
acceptance of the selected auditor not to be unreasonably withheld. If Licensee
will give the auditors reasonable access during normal business hours to
Licensee's premises where such records and documentation arc located. If an
audit discloses an underpayment of Associated Fees, Licensee will immediately
pay PTL the additional fees due with interest, from the original payment due
date, at the rate of [**]. PTL and Licensee will bear their own expenses
incurred in the audit; however, if an audit discloses an underpayment of
Associated Fees of five percent (5%) or more of the total Associated Fees
originally due for the period being audited, Licensee will reimburse PTL for all
reasonable expenses incurred by PTL the audit.
