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.
Records; Audits Merck will keep, and will cause each of the other Selling Parties, as applicable, to keep, and Moderna will keep, adequate books and records of accounting for the purpose of calculating all royalties and other amounts payable by either Party to the other Party hereunder and ensuring each Party’s compliance hereunder. For the [***] following the end of the Calendar Year to which each will pertain, such books and records of accounting (including those of its Affiliates, as applicable) will be kept at each of their principal place of business. At the request of either Party, the other Party will permit (and procure its Affiliates, to permit) an independent certified public accounting firm of internationally recognized standing selected by the auditing Party and reasonably acceptable to the other Party to have access during normal business hours to such of the records as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the payments due hereunder for any Calendar Year ending not more than [***] following the end of any Calendar Year. Such examinations may not be conducted more than once in any Calendar Year or be repeated for any Calendar Year. The accounting firm shall disclose to the auditing Party only whether the reports are correct or incorrect and the amount of any discrepancy. No other Confidential Information shall be provided. If such accounting firm correctly identifies a discrepancy made during such period, the appropriate Party shall pay the other Party the amount of the discrepancy within [***] of the date of delivery of such accounting firm’s written report so correctly concluding, or as otherwise agreed upon by the Parties. The fees charged by such accounting firm shall be paid by the auditing Party, provided that if the underpayment or overcharge exceeds [***], the audited Party shall pay the fees. Upon the expiration of [***] following the end of any Calendar Year, absent willful misconduct or fraud by a Party (its Affiliates, as applicable) the calculation of amounts payable with respect to such Calendar Year shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties, and the Parties shall be released from any liability or accountability with respect to amounts payable for such Calendar Year. The auditing Party shall treat all financial information subject to review under this Section 8.6(c) in accordance with the confidentiality and non-use provisions of this Agreement, and shall cause its accounting firm to enter into an acceptable confidentiality agreement with the audited Party obligating it to retain all such Confidential Information in confidence pursuant to such confidentiality agreement.
