Interest on Deposits Any interest earned on cash deposits will be credited to CLEC in the amount actually earned or at the rate set forth in Section 8.7 below, whichever is lower, except as otherwise required by law, provided that, for elimination of doubt, the Parties agree that such deposits are not subject to state laws or regulations relating to consumer or End User Customer cash deposits. Cash deposits and accrued interest, if applicable, will be credited to CLEC's account or refunded, as appropriate, upon the earlier of the expiration of the term of this Agreement or the establishment of satisfactory credit with Qwest, which will generally be one full year of consecutive timely payments of undisputed amounts in full by CLEC. Upon a material change in financial standing, CLEC may request, and Qwest will consider, a recalculation of the deposit. The fact that a deposit has been made does not relieve CLEC from any requirements of this Agreement.
