Buyer at the time such overpayment is repaid:
i. Simple interest on the amount of such overpayment to be computed from the date(s) of overpayment to
the Seller to the date the Buyer is repaid by the Seller at that applicable underpayment rate effective for
each quarter prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury under 26 U.S.C 6621(a)(2); and
ii. For Department of Defense contracts only, a penalty equal to the amount of the overpayment, if the Seller
knowingly submitted cost or pricing data which were incomplete, inaccurate, or non-current.
