Chargeback The Multi-sourcing Service Integrator (MSI) is responsible for developing, managing, and maintaining the Chargeback System as well as developing and coordinating the associated Service Component Providers processes, as described in Exhibit 2.1.2, Cross Functional Service SOW. The Service Component Providers are responsible for data collection, data integrity, and providing data feeds to the MSI for charging back those fees to Customers. Where applicable, the MSI manages the Chargeback unit rate development process in coordination with DIR. DIR provides the methodology, but the MSI develops the calculations and maintains the process, which may include the allocation of some, or all, of a Service Component Provider’s Charges into another Service Component Provider’s Charges for Chargeback purposes. The MSI is the financial intermediary between the Service Component Providers and DIR. In this role, the MSI provides the Services to provision and manage the Chargeback and Utilization Tracking System, Chargeback and utilization reporting, Chargeback invoice consolidation, and management of the invoice dispute process. A component of the Chargeback invoice consolidation responsibility is the reconciliation of the cumulative total of all Service Component Providers’ Monthly Invoices with the cumulative total of the Customers’ Chargeback invoices. The MSI provides DIR with the supporting detail necessary to facilitate DIR’s payment of the Monthly Invoice to each Service Component Provider. A description of the current Chargeback system, capabilities and process is described in Chargeback and Reporting Services For Pass-Through Expenses per Section 9 below, New Services, and other Services for which Service Component Provider is authorized to charge separately by DIR, Service Component Provider will provide data to the MSI to support the Charges by Customer and Customer account identifier that conforms with the requirements of Section 12.1(a), Invoice, of the Agreement. DIR provides the MSI with the chargeback methodology and the MSI makes available to DIR and Customers through the Portal the monthly chargeback volumes, rates, and extended charge per Service per Customer and Customer account identifiers. Chargeback detail for each Customer is made available in the Chargeback System via the Portal in a format that aligns with the form(s) of invoice described in Attachment 4-F, Form of Invoice. At a minimum, DIR requires Service Component Provider to provide detailed billing data by Customer, Customer account identifier, by service type and by such factors as requested by DIR. DIR is responsible for providing Service Component Provider with the factors to track, as well as the methodology to be used to indicate usage among such factors. The MSI provides detailed billing information available online in a database that lends itself to searching, ad hoc reporting, and the ability to export data. This detailed billing information, provided by the MSI, must include the current Contract Year and the previous two Contract Years’ data. Billing detail beyond this time period is archived, by the MSI, and available upon request. Service Component Provider will develop and implement changes to comply with OMB Guidance for Grants and Agreements (Title 2, Subtitle A, CFR 200) based upon chargeback requirements provided by DIR. The chargeback unit rate methodologies may be adjusted as necessary to meet federal approval or to better facilitate effective and efficient charging of the Services to DIR and Customers. For most billable Services, the chargeback methodology will distribute charges to the benefiting Customers and programs based upon proportionate usage. This approach requires appropriate utilization data be captured for each Service and used to distribute charges to the benefiting programs identified by each Customer.
Member Minimum Gain Chargeback Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 5, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.04(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
