3.	The 50% portion of the Revenue Share payable to CANPHARM shall be calculated and allocated as follows:

	a.	HSBCO shall provide CANPHARM with a spreadsheet detailing the Revenue Share received for the month within 15 days after each applicable month end. HSBCO shall then pay 50% of the Revenue Share monthly starting *******², 2019 with such payment being made net 30 days of each month end;

	b.	Upon at least thirty (30) days’ written notice, CANPHARM shall have the right through an independent, certified accounting firm, to examine such records and books of account of HSBCO as are necessary to verify the accuracy of the Revenue Share payable by HSBCO under this Agreement. Such right may be exercised only once during any twelve (12) month period. Such examination may be performed during normal business hours at HSBCO’s major place of business or at such other place as may be agreed upon by HSBCO and CANPHARM. The accounting firm may make abstracts or copies of such books of account solely for its use in performing the examination. CANPHARM will require, prior to any such examination, such accounting firm to agree in writing that such firm will maintain all information, abstracts, and copies acquired during such examination in strict confidence and will not make any use of such material other than to confirm to CANPHARM the accuracy of HSBCO’s payments hereunder. If an inspection of HSBCO’s records by the accountant of CANPHARM shows that HSBCO has paid more than required under this Agreement, any excess amounts will, at HSBCO’s option, be promptly refunded or credited against future Revenue Share payables. If an inspection of HSBCO’s records by the accountant of CANPHARM shows that HSBCO shows an under-reporting or underpayment by HSBCO of any amount to CANPHARM, by more than one percent (1%) and less than five percent (5%) for any twelve (12) month period, any excess amounts will, at CANPHARM’s option, be promptly paid or debited against future Revenue Share payables. However, if an inspection of HSBCO’s records shows an under-reporting or underpayment by HSBCO of any amount to CANPHARM, by more than ten percent (10%) for any twelve (12) month period, then HSBCO will reimburse CANPHARM for the reasonable cost of the inspection as well as pay to CANPHARM any amount found due within thirty (30) days of receipt of the results of such inspection.

The Parties agree and stipulate that the agreements contained in this Section are fair and reasonable in light of all of the facts and circumstances of their relationship; however, the Parties are aware that in certain circumstances courts have refused to enforce certain agreements. Therefore, in furtherance of and not in derogation of the provisions of the preceding paragraph the parties agree that in the event a court should decline to enforce the provisions of the preceding paragraph, that paragraph shall be deemed to be modified to restrict non-enforcing Party’s rights under this Agreement to the maximum extent, in both time and geography, which the court shall find enforceable.

10)	Injunctive Relief. The Parties agree any breach of this Agreement by HSBCO shall cause CANPHARM immeasurable and irreparable harm and CANPHARM shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedies that CANPHARM may have at law or in equity.

	c)	If a Party seeks indemnification (the “Indemnitee”), it shall give written notice to the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) promptly after the Indemnitee becomes aware of the facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification (an “Indemnified Claim”), and in any event within 30 days, specifying in reasonable detail the factual basis of the Indemnified Claim and stating the amount of the damages (or if not known, a good faith estimate of the amount of damages).

Should the Indemnitor decline to control and defend the Indemnified Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to control and defend the Indemnified Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate. The controlling Party shall select counsel, contractors, experts and consultants of recognized standing and competence reasonably acceptable to the other Party, shall take reasonable steps necessary in the investigation, defense or settlement thereof, and shall diligently and promptly pursue the resolution thereof. All Parties shall cooperate fully with the Party conducting the defense of any Indemnified Claim.

	e)	The Party controlling the defense of any Indemnified Claim shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Indemnified Claims subject to the following provisions. If the Indemnitor is controlling the litigation, Indemnitee must consent to any such settlement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Indemnitee’s consent will be deemed unreasonably withheld unless the settlement would encumber any of its assets or contains any restriction or condition that would apply to the Indemnitee or to the conduct of its business. If the Indemnitee is controlling the litigation, it may not enter into a settlement or consent to an entry of judgment with respect to any Indemnified Claim without the express written consent of the Indemnitor, not to be unreasonably withheld.

	f)	Indemnitor shall be responsible for paying any damages or settlement arising out of an Indemnified Claim. However, in the event Indemnitee pays such damages or settlement, Indemnitor shall reimburse Indemnitee within thirty (30) days of Indemnitee making such a payment.
