Such examination right may be exercised once per twelve (12) months and once audited, books, records and revenue share payments for a given time period may not be subsequently reaudited. DIRECTV will ensure that such independent auditor conducts such examination during TiVo’s regular business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with TiVo’s business activities. Such independent auditor will determine TiVo’s compliance with such payment obligations and report such determination in writing to each of TiVo and DIRECTV. If any such examination reveals a discrepancy in the amount actually paid to DIRECTV and the amount which should have been paid to DIRECTV, then (i) in the event of an overpayment by TiVo, DIRECTV shall promptly pay to TiVo the amount by which DIRECTV was overpaid, and (ii) in the event of any underpayment by TiVo, TiVo shall promptly pay to DIRECTV the amount by which DIRECTV was underpaid, plus interest on the amount of such underpayment at the rate of [*] or portion thereof (or, if lower, the maximum rate permitted by law), from the date on which such amount should have been paid to DIRECTV through the date on which payment
