The auditor or accountant shall be obliged to maintain as confidential any and all information discovered during such audit, but may disclose to BIO HOLDING whether the royalties paid or payable hereunder are correct or not, and the deviation from the correct sum, if any. OMNI agrees to pay promptly any amount found due to BIO HOLDING by such audit including interest according to Article 3.5 and BIO HOLDING agrees to credit against future royalties due from OMNI any overpayment, which may be found or, if no future royalties will reasonably be due, repay an amount equal to such overpayment.

If a party fails to nominate an arbiter within thirty (30) days from the date on which the claimant’s demand for arbitration has been communicated to the other party, the AAA shall make such appointment. The two arbiters so appointed shall agree upon a third arbiter who shall act as chair of the arbitral tribunal. If the two arbiters fail to nominate a chair within forty-five (45) days from the second of the two appointments, the AAA shall select the chair. The language of the arbitration shall be in English. The parties agree to exclude any right to appeal to any court of law on the merits of the dispute, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the award, either of the parties, or their assets. The Arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys fees and cost to the prevailing party.
