Exhibit B Proposal for Revenue Enhancement Services Q Sales & Use Tax Audit (SUTA) Services MuniServices compensation for the Sales and Use Tax Audit Service will be a 15% contingency fee. This fee applies to 8 quarters after the Date of Correction and all eligible prior quarters back to and including the three quarters prior to the Date of Knowledge quarter. The Date of Knowledge is the quarter during which MuniServices notifies the SBE of the existence of a misallocation. The Date of Correction refers to the quarter in which the taxpayer has correctly reported the local tax and the SBE distributes the local tax properly to City based on the taxpayer's reporting, together with any prior period reallocations. For QDR Misallocations detected and corrected, MuniServices compensation includes the quarters in which the misallocation occurred. MuniServices will be entitled to full payment of all compensation even if any one or more of City, its personnel, agents, or representatives, or any third party or parties provide(s) information to MuniServices that assists or is used by MuniServices in the identification, detection, and correction of point-of-sale distribution errors or the reporting and/or misallocation of revenue. In the event that the City identifies, documents, and notifies the SBE of a point-of-sale distribution error, reporting error or misallocation as those terms are used herein, the City will notify MuniServices of the City's discovery no later than ten days after the Date of Knowledge as defined in Title 18 of the California Code of Regulations, Regulation 1807 ("Date of Knowledge"). The City also agrees to notify MuniServices promptly if it is working on a local tax misallocation issue independently of MuniServices and to maintain and promptly make available to MuniServices on request contemporaneous documentation of such work and its timing so we do not duplicate work. Completion of Services Because the services performed by MuniServices result in corrections of misallocations and other revenue after cessation of services performed by MuniServices for the City, the City agrees that with regards to misallocations identified to the SBE whose Date of Knowledge occurred during MuniServices performance of services for the City or for other revenue resulting from MuniServices actions taken during the term of the Agreement, that the City's obligation to pay MuniServices in accordance with the compensation language of the Agreement will survive expiration or termination of the Agreement for any reason. Additionally, notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if the Agreement is terminated or expires, MuniServices will continue to pursue corrections of accounts identified during the term of the Agreement that have not been corrected by the SBE as of the effective date of termination or expiration. The period after termination during which MuniServices is pursuing correction of accounts identified before termination is referred to as the "completion period." The City will compensate MuniServices in accordance with the compensation language of the Agreement for corrected misallocations that result from MuniServices efforts during the completion period. The City will also take all necessary steps to allow MuniServices to continue to receive the required information from the SBE during this completion period.
