If correction or reprocessing is requested because of an error attributable to IT&S or the negligence of IT&S, there shall be no charge for such rerun and IT&S shall perform such rerun within ten (10) business days unless the parties mutually agree that performing a rerun is impossible from a technical perspective, in which event IT&S shall promptly compensate Customer for any Qualifying Damages (as defined below) and correct any erroneous records without performing a rerun. In the event that the error is attributable to Customer’s erroneous input data or output records, IT&S will promptly determine whether it can perform the reprocessing and, if it can perform the reprocessing, will provide a reasonable cost estimate to Customer for such reprocessing services. Following mutual agreement on the cost, IT&S will perform the reprocessing services.

(e) In the event that Customer makes a written request for the performance of on-site Services by IT&S, Customer shall pay the reasonable and customary travel expenses of IT&S personnel performing such Services for Customer, in accordance with IT&S’s standard business travel policies. (f) Unless otherwise provided herein, payment is due within thirty (30) days of the date of receipt of an invoice except to the extent that such amounts are the subject of a good faith dispute. Without limiting IT&S’s rights hereunder, any amounts not paid within thirty (30) days of the due date shall be subject to a late charge equal to the lesser of * percent (*%) per annum or the maximum amount allowed by applicable law; provided, however, that no late charge shall apply with respect to amounts reasonably disputed by Customer if written notice of such dispute is given to IT&S within fourteen (14) days of receipt of invoice; provided, however, that the interest on any disputed charges that are ultimately resolved against Customer shall accrue from the date payment would have otherwise been due. Disputes under this Section will be resolved pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 12(f). (g) Customer’s processing fees are indicated in Schedule B and shall be charged with respect to each Facility, Affiliate and Contract Entity then designated by Customer to receive the Services in accordance with the scope of Services then designated by Customer to be received by such entity pursuant to Section 2(a) above.
