Net Revenue shall be defined for purposes of this Agreement as the gross sales price by Wellgistics and/or its Affiliates (defined below) less the price paid by Wellgistics to purchase the Product from Supplier.

b. Each Party shall keep or cause to be kept such records as are required to determine, in a manner consistent with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, the sums or credits due under this Agreement, including, but not limited to Net Revenue. At the request (and expense) of either Party, the other Party shall permit an independent certified public accountant appointed by such Party and reasonably acceptable to the other Party, at reasonable times not more than twice a year and upon reasonable notice, to examine only those records as may be necessary to determine, with respect to any quarterly period or periods ending not more than three years prior to such Party’s request, the correctness or completeness of any report or payment made under this Agreement. Results of any such examination shall be (i) binding on the Parties other than in the case of manifest error, (ii) limited to information relating to calculation of Net Revenues, and (iii) made available to both Parties. The Party requesting the audit shall bear the full cost of the performance of any such audit, unless such audit discloses a variance of more than 5% from the amount of the original report, commission or payment calculation, in which case the Party being audited shall bear the full cost of the performance of such audit. Each Party shall pay to the other the amount owing as revealed by such examination and review.
