6.7 Effect of Termination. Termination of this Agreement is without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the parties.

Licensor may, at its expense and upon ten (10) business days prior written notice, audit such records, documentation or files, including financial records and documentation, of Pear that evidence compliance by Pear of this Agreement, including the calculation and remittance of the appropriate fees. Any such audit shall be conducted during regular business hours at Pear's facilities and shall not unreasonably interfere with Pear's business activities. Pear shall provide reasonable assistance to Licensor in the conduct of the audit. If an audit reveals that Pear has underpaid any fees to Licensor, Pear shall be invoiced for the difference between the fees to be paid as determined by the audit and the actual fees paid by Pear. If the difference between the fees to be paid as determined by the audit and the actual fees paid by Pear exceed ten percent (10%) of the actual fees paid by Pear, then Pear shall also pay Licensor's costs of conducting the audit. Audits shall be conducted no more than once annually, unless an audit reveals an underpayment by Pear, in which case an audit may be conducted again by Pear at any time upon five (5) business days prior written notice.
