distributed hereunder against the Advance paid for such quarter (or the Term).
If the fees incurred pursuant to paragraph 4.2 for the number of Copies actually
distributed during such quarter (or the Term) are greater than the portion of
the Advance paid for such quarter (or the Term), Microsoft will invoice Company
for the difference at the applicable rates noted in paragraph 4.2. If at the end
of the Term the fees (including the Advance) received by Microsoft hereunder
exceed the amount of the fees incurred by Company for distribution of Copies
hereunder, Microsoft will refund the difference to Company; except that in no
event will Microsoft be required to refund or otherwise return to Company any
portion of the Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum aggregate
Advance and Fee payments that Company may incur to Microsoft hereunder will be
[**]. Once and only if the foregoing payment cap is reached by Company, Company

hereunder; provided that, for the remainder of the Term, Company may not
increase the average number of Copies delivered by Microsoft to Subscribers
during the period preceding Company attaining such payment cap.
4.4 Invoice and Payment. Within thirty (30) days after the date of an
-------------------

4.7 Audits. Microsoft will maintain during the Term and for at least
------
twelve (12) months thereafter all of its regular books of account relating to
Copies distributed via the Service and amounts owing to Microsoft hereunder. If
Company believes in good faith that Microsoft invoiced Company in excess of

Company's sole expense to audit such books of account, subject to the following:
(a) Company will provide Microsoft with at least thirty (30) days' prior written
notice of such audits; (b) audits may occur only during Microsoft's regular

time such auditors provide such communications to Company; (f) audits may not
occur more than once during the Term, may not exceed three (3) consecutive days

the auditors provide their final conclusions of the audit to Company and
