Notwithstanding the foregoing, Regent shall not be required to give any credit that would be contrary to customary industry exclusions, exceptions, and limitations, and Regent’s failure to do so shall not be deemed to be a default or breach under this Agreement.

In no event shall any failure to comply with the credit obligations hereunder entitle Public to rescind or terminate this Agreement and/or to seek any equitable relief with respect to the exercise by Regent and its Sub-distributors, licensees, assignees and contractees of the rights granted hereunder. Regent and its Sub-distributors, licensees, assignees, and contractees shall be accorded credits in such manner, size, position, substance and form as Regent may elect in connection with the Pictures, provided that they do not infringe any existing credit obligations.

16.1 Regent shall keep records relating to its distribution of each Picture, which shall be kept on the same basis, in the same manner, at the same place and for the same period (but not less than the two-year incontestability period provided below) as such records are customarily kept by distributors in the film industry. The records will include records of Gross Receipts and all marketing expenses and distribution costs paid or received by Regent. Regent will render statements on a quarterly basis within sixty (60) days following the close of each calendar quarter during the Term. Statements rendered by Regent may be changed from time to time to include overlooked items, to correct errors and for similar purposes. Should Regent make any overpayment to Public for any reason, Regent shall have the right to include an amount equal to any such overpayment in Regent’s next invoice for commission or expenses (as the case may be) or may demand repayment from Public.

All statements will become incontestable two years after the date rendered except only as to any claim filed within the applicable time frame. Public shall have a customary right of audit (on reasonable advance notice, during regular business hours), by a certified public accountant or chartered accountant on its behalf, of Regent’s records relating to the Pictures (but not more than once annually) in order to verify the accuracy of the statements rendered by Regent hereunder. In the event any such audit shall reveal an underpayment by Regent, Regent shall immediately remedy the underpayment and if the underpayment is greater than twenty percent (20%) or US$20,000 (whichever is the lesser) in amounts which would have been payable to Public, then Regent will reimburse Public the expenses incurred in connection with such audit.
