(b) the period for which Beglend is required to pay a Royalty hereunder shall commence upon the first Launch of Product in a particular Market Area, and shall continue for the patent life of any Patents comprising the Licensed Technology or any Joint Patents which may hereafter be filed with respect to such Product or upon which such Product is based in that Market Area (the "Royalty Payment Period");
(c) the first Royalty payment shall be calculated for the broken period commencing from the date of the first Launch of Product to and including the last day of Beglend's fiscal year in which the Launch of Product took place; and any succeeding Royalty payments shall be calculated from the first day until the last day of the corresponding fiscal year; and all Royalty payments shall be payable by cheque, cash, or bank draft, to InNexus' order, and shall be paid within 180 days of the completion of Beglend's fiscal year corresponding to that payment; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Beglend shall pay quarterly installments of the estimated amount of Royalty payments due for each fiscal quarter completed after the date of Launch of Product, which shall be payable within 90 days after the end of each such quarter, and shall, when calculating the amount of Royalty due for that fiscal year in accordance with sub-section 6.5(c), adjust the installment payable for the final quarter in each fiscal year to reflect Beglend's estimate of the actual amount payable, after accounting for each of the prior payments made in that fiscal year; and Beglend shall pay all royalties in the currencies in which the revenues giving rise to such payment obligation are received by Beglend unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties;
(d) On or before 180 days following the end of each fiscal year of Beglend after the first Launch of Product, Beglend shall deliver to InNexus a statement indicating, in reasonable detail, as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, the calculation of Net Sales Revenue for each Product sold in each Market Area and the aggregate of the Royalty payable with respect to each such Product and each such Market Area for such year;

(f) Beglend shall have an audited statement prepared by its auditors (which shall be qualified certified public accountants or chartered accountants) for each year with respect to the Royalty payable to InNexus hereunder, by 180 days following the end of each fiscal year, and Beglend shall forthwith deliver a copy of such statement to InNexus;
(g) All Royalty payments shall be considered full and final satisfaction of all obligations of Beglend making the same in respect thereof if such payments or the calculations in respect thereof are not disputed by InNexus within 180 days after receipt by InNexus of the audited statement referred to in subsection 6.5(f) hereof; and any disputes under this subsection shall be decided by arbitration as herein provided;
(h) for the purpose of calculating Royalties, revenue shall be deemed to have been received when it has actually been received in the form of cash or credit or by way of any measurable benefit, advantage or concession; and in the event of any partial payment, the Royalty otherwise payable shall be pro-rated accordingly; in no event will Beglend be obligated to pay Royalties more than once in respect of any revenue received by it or its associates, affiliates, licensees or sub-licensees in connection with any single transaction (i.e. no "double" Royalties); and
(i) for any product containing both a pharmaceutically active agent which causes it to be considered a Product and one or more other pharmaceutically active agents which are not Products (each a "Combination Product"), the parties shall in good faith negotiate and agree to an appropriate adjustment to the Net Sales Revenue to reflect the relative contribution of each Product and each other pharmaceutically active agent which is not a Product to the Combination Product; and if, after good faith negotiations (not to exceed ninety (90) days in duration unless extended by mutual agreement), the parties can not agree to an appropriate adjustment, Net Sale Revenue shall be equal to Net Sales of the Combination Product multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the reasonable fair market value of the Compounds contained in the Combination Product and the denominator of which is the reasonable fair market value of all pharmaceutically active agents contained in the Combination Product, as determined by arbitration.

Running Royalties Company shall pay to JHU a running royalty as set forth in Exhibit A, for each LICENSED PRODUCT(S) sold, and for each LICENSED SERVICE(S) provided, by Company or AFFILIATED COMPANIES, based on NET SALES and NET SERVICE REVENUES for the term of this Agreement. Such payments shall be made quarterly. All non-US taxes related to LICENSED PRODUCT(S) or LICENSED SERVICE(S) sold under this Agreement shall be paid by Company and shall not be deducted from royalty or other payments due to JHU. In order to insure JHU the full royalty payments contemplated hereunder, Company agrees that in the event any LICENSED PRODUCT(S) shall be sold to an AFFILIATED COMPANY or SUBLICENSEE(S) or to a corporation, firm or association with which Company shall have any agreement, understanding or arrangement with respect to consideration (such as, among other things, an option to purchase stock or actual stock ownership, or an arrangement involving division of profits or special rebates or allowances) the royalties to be paid hereunder for such LICENSED PRODUCT(S) shall be based upon the greater of: 1) the net selling price (per NET SALES) at which the purchaser of LICENSED PRODUCT(S) resells such product to the end user, 2) the NET SERVICE REVENUES received from using the LICENSED PRODUCT(S) in providing a service, or 3) the net selling price (per NET SALES) of LICENSED PRODUCT(S) paid by the purchaser. No multiple royalties shall be due or payable because any LICENSED PRODUCT(S) or LICENSED SERVICE(S) is covered by more than one claim of the PATENT RIGHTS or by claims of both the PATENT RIGHTS under this Agreement and “PATENT RIGHTS” under any other license agreement between Company and JHU. The royalty shall not be cumulative based on the number of patents or claims covering a product or service, but rather shall be capped at the rate set forth in Exhibit A.
