Records; Audit Purchaser will, and will cause its Affiliates to, keep and maintain for [***] years after the relevant calendar quarter complete and accurate books and records in sufficient detail so that Net Sales and payments made hereunder can be properly calculated. No more frequently than once during each calendar year during the Term and once during the [***] year period thereafter, Purchaser will permit independent third-party auditors appointed by Spectrum or Bayer (the party requesting an audit, the “Auditing Party”) and with at least [***] days advance notice at any time during normal business hours, accompanied at all times, to inspect, audit and copy reasonable amounts of relevant accounts and records of Purchaser and its Affiliates and reports submitted to Purchaser and its Affiliates pertaining to a Payment Period that is not earlier than [***] months from the date of conclusion of the audit, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the calculation of payments to Spectrum pursuant to this Article 4. The accounts, records and reports related to any particular period of time may only be audited one time under this Section 4.5. The Auditing Party will cause their independent third-party auditors not to provide the Auditing Party with any copies of such accounts, records or reports and not to disclose to the Auditing Party any information other than information relating solely to the accuracy of the accounting and payments made by Purchaser pursuant to this Article 4. The Auditing Party will cause its independent third-party auditors to promptly provide a copy of their report to Purchaser. If such audit determines that payments are due to Spectrum, Purchaser will pay to Spectrum any such additional amounts within [***] Business Days after the date on which such auditor’s written report is delivered to Purchaser and the Auditing Party, unless such audit report is disputed by Purchaser, in which case the dispute will be resolved in accordance with Section 16.10. If such audit determines that Purchaser has overpaid any amounts to Spectrum, Spectrum will refund any such overpaid amounts to Purchaser within [***] Business Days after the date on which such auditor’s written report is delivered to Purchaser and the Auditing Party. Any such inspection of records will be at Spectrum’s expense unless such audit discloses a deficiency in the payments made by Purchaser (whether for itself or on behalf of its Affiliates) of more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the aggregate amount payable for the relevant period, in which case Purchaser will bear the cost of such audit. Each of the parties agrees that all information subject to review under this Section 4.5 is Purchaser’s Confidential Information that is subject to Spectrum’s confidentiality and non-use obligations under Section 9.5.2, and the Auditing Party agrees that it will cause its independent third-party auditors to also retain all such information subject to the non-disclosure and non-use restrictions of Section 9.5.2 or similar (but no less stringent) obligations of confidentiality and non-use customary in the accounting industry.
