The Lender shall notify the Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event, stating the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by the Borrower directly to the Lender within ten Business Days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 4.2 Increased Capital Costs. If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or any Person controlling the Lender, and the Lender determines (in good faith and in its reasonable discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of the Commitment or the Loans made by it hereunder is reduced to a level below that which the Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then upon notice from time to time by the Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall within ten Business Days following receipt of such notice pay directly to the Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of the Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts shall, in the absence of manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the accuracy thereof. In determining such amount, the Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable.
SECTION 4.3 Taxes. The Borrower covenants and agrees as follows with respect to Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower under each Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes. In the event that any Taxes are imposed and required to be deducted or withheld from any payment required to be made by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries to or on behalf of the Lender under any Loan Document, then:
(i) if such Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, the amount of such payment shall be increased as may be necessary so that such payment is made, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Taxes, in an amount that is not less than the amount provided for in such Loan Document; and
(ii) the Borrower shall withhold the full amount of such Taxes from such payment (as increased pursuant to clause (a)(i) and shall pay such amount to the Governmental Authority imposing such Taxes in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay all Other Taxes imposed to the relevant Governmental Authority imposing such Other Taxes in accordance with applicable law.
(c) As promptly as practicable after the payment of any Taxes or Other Taxes required to be paid by the Borrower under Section 4.3(a), or (b), and in any event within 45 days of any such payment being due (as may be extended by if contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings), the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender a copy of an official receipt (or a certified copy thereof) evidencing the payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.
(d) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes levied, imposed or assessed on (and whether or not paid directly by) the Lender whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Promptly upon having knowledge that any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes have been levied, imposed or assessed, and promptly upon notice thereof by the Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes directly to the relevant Governmental Authority. In addition, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for any incremental Taxes that may become payable by the Lender as a result of any failure of the Borrower to pay any Taxes when due and for which it has received timely notice to the appropriate Governmental Authority or to deliver to the Lender, pursuant to clause (c), documentation evidencing the payment of Taxes or Other Taxes. With respect to indemnification for Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes actually paid by the Lender or the indemnification provided in the immediately preceding sentence, such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender makes written demand therefor. The Borrower acknowledges that any payment made to the Lender or to any Governmental Authority in respect of the indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided in this clause shall constitute a payment in respect of which the provisions of clause (a) and this clause shall apply.
SECTION 4.4 Payments, Computations; Proceeds of Collateral, Etc.

Payments due on other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with that payment.

The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such appropriation and application made by the Lender; provided that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which the Lender may have.
SECTION 4.6 LIBO Rate Not Determinable. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, then the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower as promptly as practicable. In the event of any such determination, the Loans shall, until the Lender has advised the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, bear interest at the interest rate in effect for the immediately preceding Interest Period.

W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, dated as of April [·], 2013 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and between the Borrower and the Lender, the Lender has extended a Commitment to make Loans to the Borrower; and
WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to the making of the Initial Loan under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors are required to execute and deliver this Guarantee;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce the Lender to make the Loans to the Borrower, each Guarantor hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Lender, as follows.
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
SECTION 1.1. Certain Terms. The following terms (whether or not underscored) when used in this Guarantee, including its preamble and recitals, shall have the following meanings (such definitions to be equally applicable to the singular and plural forms thereof):
“Credit Agreement” is defined in the first recital.
“Guarantor” is defined in the preamble.
“Guarantee” is defined in the preamble.
“Lender” is defined in the preamble.
“Obligor” is defined in Section 2.1(a).
SECTION 1.2. Credit Agreement Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires, terms used in this Guarantee, including its preamble and recitals, have the meanings provided in the Credit Agreement.
ARTICLE II
GUARANTEE PROVISIONS
SECTION 2.1. Guarantee. Each Guarantor jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably:
(a) guarantees the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (each, an “Obligor”) now or hereafter existing, whether for principal, interest (including interest accruing at the then applicable Default Rate as provided in Section 3.5 of the Credit Agreement, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed under applicable law following the institution of a proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws), fees, expenses or otherwise (including all such amounts which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(a), and the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §502(b) and §506(b)); and
(b) indemnifies and holds harmless the Lender for any and all costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to the Lender) incurred by the Lender in enforcing any rights under this Guarantee, except to the extent such amounts arise or are incurred as a consequence of the Lender’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct;
provided, that each Guarantor shall only be liable under this Guarantee for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering this Guarantee, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount. This Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and each Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required that the Lender exercise any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against such Guarantor or any other Person before or as a condition to the obligations of such Guarantor becoming due hereunder.
SECTION 2.2. Reinstatement, etc. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (including on or after the Termination Date), as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Obligations is invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Lender, including upon the occurrence of any Event of Default set forth in Section 9.1(h) of the Credit Agreement or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
SECTION 2.3. Guarantee Absolute, etc. This Guarantee shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of payment, and shall remain in full force and effect until (unless reinstated pursuant to Section 2.2 above) the Termination Date has occurred. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of each Loan Document under which they arise, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of
the Lender with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of any Loan Document;
(b) the failure of the Lender (i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against such Guarantor or any other Person (including any other guarantor) under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, or (ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor (including such Guarantor and any other Guarantor) of, or collateral securing, any Obligations;
(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Obligations, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligation, or any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to or departure from, any of the terms of any Loan Document;
(d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations or otherwise;
(e) any addition, exchange or release of any collateral or of any Person that is (or will become) a guarantor of the Obligations, or any surrender or non-perfection of any collateral, or any amendment to, or waiver or release of, or addition to, or consent to or departure from, any other guarantee held by the Lender securing any of the Obligations; or
(f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Obligor, any surety or any guarantor (including any Guarantor).
SECTION 2.4. Setoff. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender, without the requirement that any notice be given to such Guarantor (such notice being expressly waived by such Guarantor), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) each Guarantor hereby grants to the Lender a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Guarantor then or thereafter maintained with or on behalf of the Lender. The Lender agrees to notify such Guarantor after any such set-off and application made by the Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which the Lender may have.
SECTION 2.5. Waiver, etc. Each Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and this Guarantee and any requirement that the Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against any Obligor or any other Person (including any Guarantor) or entity or any collateral securing the Obligations, as the case may be.

In furtherance of the foregoing, at all times prior to the Termination Date, such Guarantor shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against the Borrower or any other Obligor or Guarantor (or their successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made under this Guarantee to the Lender.

The Lender hereby agrees to act as agent of the other parties to which any Grantor may owe any Obligations for all purposes hereunder and under the other Loan Documents pursuant to which any Grantor grants a Lien or other right in any Collateral to secure the Obligations, for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on any Collateral granted by any Grantor to secure any of the Obligations. The Lender may appoint any co-agents, sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact in connection with the foregoing.
ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES
SECTION 6.1. Certain Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of the Lender on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may
(i) take possession of any Collateral not already in its possession without demand and without legal process;
(ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at its expense and upon request of the Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Lender and make it available to the Lender at a place to be designated by the Lender that is reasonably convenient to both parties,
(iii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof without demand and without legal process; and
(iv) without notice except as specified below, lease, license, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at any public or private sale, at any of the Lender’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Lender may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(b) All cash Proceeds received by the Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Lender against all or any part of the Obligations as set forth in Section 4.4(b) of the Credit Agreement.
(c) The Lender may
(i) transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Lender or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the Lien hereunder,
(ii) notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Lender of any amount due or to become due thereunder,
(iii) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Collateral Account;
(iv) enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto,
(v) endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantor’s name to allow collection of the Collateral,
(vi) take control of any Proceeds of the Collateral, and
(vii) execute (in the name, place and stead of any Grantor) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.
SECTION 6.2. Securities Laws. If the Lender shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Collateral that are Capital Securities pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(iv), each Grantor acknowledges that the Lender may be unable to effect a public sale or other disposition of the Capital Securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as
from time to time amended (the “Securities Act”), federal banking laws, and other applicable laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers. Each Grantor agrees that any such private sale may be at prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if sold at public sales and that such private sales shall not solely by reason thereof be deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Capital Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or such other federal banking or other applicable laws, even if the issuer would agree to do so. Subject to the foregoing, the Lender agrees that any sale of the Capital Securities shall be made in a commercially reasonable manner, and each Grantor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the issuer or issuers of the Capital Securities contemplated to be sold, to execute and deliver, all at the Grantors’ expense, all such instruments and documents, and to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the Lender, advisable to exempt such Capital Securities from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act, and to make all amendments to such instruments and documents which, in the opinion of the Lender, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor further agrees to use its reasonable best efforts (a) to cause such issuer or issuers to exempt or comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction which the Lender designates and obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Capital Securities, as requested by the Lender; (b) if required, to cause such issuer or issuers to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and (c) to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.
SECTION 6.3. Compliance with Restrictions. Each Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and such Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Lender be liable nor accountable to such Grantor for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.
SECTION 6.4. Protection of Collateral. The Lender may from time to time, at its option, perform any act which any Grantor fails to perform after being requested in writing so to perform (it being understood that no such request need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) and the Lender may from time to time take any other action
which the Lender deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein.

ROYALTY PROVISIONS
SECTION 2.1 Royalty Payments.
(a) Xxxxxx shall (or shall cause a Subsidiary to) pay to ROS, in respect of each Fiscal Year (or portion of a Fiscal Year, in the case of the first Fiscal Year and last Fiscal Year of the Royalty Term) during the Royalty Term and prior to the Fiscal Quarter in which the Delayed Draw Loan is funded, a royalty amount equal to the sum of (i) 1.00% of the aggregate Net Revenue during such Fiscal Year (or portion of a Fiscal Year, as the case may be) up to $50,000,000 of such Net Revenue, plus (ii) 1.50% of the aggregate Net Revenue during such Fiscal Year (or portion of a Fiscal Year, as the case may be) in excess of $50,000,000.
(b) Xxxxxx shall (or shall cause a Subsidiary to) pay to ROS, in respect of each Fiscal Year (or portion of a Fiscal Year, in the case of the first Fiscal Year and last Fiscal Year of the Royalty Term) during the Royalty Term and during the Fiscal Quarter in which the Delayed Draw Loan has been funded and thereafter, a royalty amount equal to the sum of (i) 1.50% of the aggregate Net Revenue during such Fiscal Year (or portion of a Fiscal Year, as the case may be) up to $50,000,000 of such Net Revenue, plus (ii) 2.00% of the aggregate Net Revenue during such Fiscal Year (or portion of a Fiscal Year, as the case may be) in excess of $50,000,000.

The first Royalty Payment shall be
[*] CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTION.
determined based on Net Revenue for the entire first Fiscal Month following the month in which the Closing Date occurs through to the last Fiscal Month of the Fiscal Quarter in which the Closing Date occurs, and the last Royalty Payment (other than in the case of the Royalty Term ending on the date of payment of the Purchase Price pursuant to the exercise of the [*] Option by ROS or the exercise of the [*] Option by Xxxxxx) shall be determined based on the Net Revenue for the Fiscal Quarter up to the last day of the Fiscal Month in which the last day of the Royalty Term occurs. Royalty Payments shall first be determined in the currency of the country in which the corresponding Net Revenue occurred and then converted to its equivalent in U.S. Dollars. The rates of exchange for such payments shall be the average rate for U.S. Dollars, as quoted by JPMorgan Chase in New York City, at the close of business on the last day of the Fiscal Quarter in which such Net Revenue occurred.
(d) Together with each Royalty Payment, Xxxxxx shall deliver a written report to ROS showing with respect to each Product (on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis) (i) Net Revenue for such Product in such country for the applicable Fiscal Quarter, including line items for any deductions to the gross invoiced amount made pursuant to the definition of Net Revenue, and (ii) the calculation (in reasonable detail) of the Royalty Payment owed (including any applicable exchange rates used) and paid for such Fiscal Quarter (each, a “Royalty Report”). Each delivery of a Royalty Report hereunder shall also be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by Xxxxxx that such Royalty Report is true, correct and complete in all material respects (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments; provided that if such adjustments shall result in an increase in the calculation of Net Revenue, the calculations of Royalty Payments owed shall be adjusted to account for such increase and the Borrower shall immediately pay any Royalty Payment amounts owed); provided, that the sole remedy for any error, unless Royalty Payments are demonstrated in more than two Fiscal Quarters to be understated by more than [*] percent ([*]%) for each such Fiscal Quarter, shall be as provided in Section 2.4.
SECTION 2.2 General Provisions as to Payments. All amounts payable to ROS under this Royalty Agreement (including the Payments) shall be (i) made [*] of any kind or nature whatsoever, (ii) made in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds and (iii) remitted by wire transfer to such bank account as shall have been designated by ROS in writing from time to time. Any Payments or other amounts due to ROS under this Royalty Agreement that are not made on or before the applicable due date shall, upon demand by ROS, bear interest, payable on demand (and compounded monthly), for each day from (and including) the applicable due date to (but excluding) the date of the payment thereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.
SECTION 2.3 Taxes. The Parties hereby covenant and agree that, with respect to any Taxes payable on any Payments payable to ROS under this Royalty Agreement, Section 4.3 of the Credit Agreement shall apply and is hereby incorporated herein by reference as if set forth herein in its entirety; provided that references in such Section 4.3 to the “Borrower” shall be deemed to mean Xxxxxx, references to the “Lender” shall be deemed to mean ROS, and references to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to mean this Royalty Agreement.
[*] CERTAIN INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTION.

(b) Xxxxxx shall not later than [*] following its determination of Net Revenue and Royalty Payments for any Fiscal Quarter (or more frequently if Xxxxxx so elects) send written notice to ROS containing such Net Revenue and Royalty Payments determination. Xxxxxx shall provide to ROS reasonable access at reasonable times after [*] and during regular business hours of Xxxxxx to the personnel, properties, books and records of Xxxxxx solely for the purpose of a review by ROS of the calculation of Net Revenue and Royalty Payments; and ROS shall have the right, not more than [*] through the Term, at ROS’s expense (except as set forth below), at reasonable times after [*] and during regular hours of Xxxxxx, to investigate and audit such records, upon reasonable notice (and may, if it so chooses, retain an independent accountant to conduct such investigation and audit as and to the extent provided in Section 2.4(d)). Xxxxxx shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate fully and completely with all reasonable requests with respect to such investigation and audit (and the Persons conducting such investigation and audit), and all results of any investigation and any audit under this Section 2.4 (and any associated underlying data and information) shall be made available to both Xxxxxx and ROS.
(c) Within [*] after the delivery of any Royalty Report to ROS, ROS shall be entitled to request an audit of the Net Revenue or Royalty Payments determination with respect to previously delivered Royalty Reports (the “Audit Request”).
(d) Within [*] after delivery to Xxxxxx of the Audit Request, if the Parties are not able to agree on the Net Revenue and Royalty Payments determination, then ROS shall be entitled to engage an independent auditor or valuation firm reasonably acceptable to Xxxxxx (the “Independent Firm”) to audit the Net Revenue and Royalty Payments calculations. Upon the engagement of the Independent Firm, both Xxxxxx and ROS will direct the Independent Firm to render a determination within [*] of its engagement, and Xxxxxx, ROS and their respective agents will cooperate with the Independent Firm during its engagement. The determination of the chosen Independent Firm shall be conclusive and shall become final and binding upon the parties hereto.
(e) The fees and expenses of any investigation or audit under this Section 2.4, including fees and expenses of the Independent Firm, shall be borne by ROS; provided, however, that if the Independent Firm determines that Xxxxxx’x initial Net Revenue as set forth in the Royalty Report has resulted in an underpayment of a Royalty Payment due to

ROS for any Fiscal Quarter by more than [*] percent ([*]%), then Xxxxxx shall pay the such reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Firm conducting the audit.
(f) If any investigation or audit under this Section 2.4 reveals an underpayment of a Royalty Payment, then Xxxxxx shall remit such underpayment to ROS not later than [*] after the completion of such investigation or audit.

SECTION 2.5 Related Agreements; Access to Records.
(a) Xxxxxx shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide ROS, upon request, with true, correct and complete copies of each Related Agreement (including all amendments and supplements thereto).
(b) Xxxxxx shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide ROS with access to records required to be maintained pursuant to Section 2.4 to verify and audit the Net Revenue attributable to Xxxxxx or such Subsidiaries in accordance with the audit and inspection process described in Section 2.4. Xxxxxx will use commercially reasonable efforts to [*] and relevant to any audit or inspection process described in Section 2.4.
SECTION 2.6 [*] Option. At any time after the Closing Date, Xxxxxx shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion (the “[*] Option”), [*]. The amount payable by Xxxxxx to ROS in respect of the [*] Option shall be the Purchase Price. If Xxxxxx elects to exercise its [*] Option, it shall so notify ROS in writing (the “[*] Notice”), which [*] Notice shall set forth a calculation of the Purchase Price in reasonable detail. Delivery of a [*] Notice (and exercise of the [*] Option) shall be irrevocable. Unless ROS disputes in writing, within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the [*] Notice and with reasonable specificity the calculation of the Purchase Price prior to tender of the Purchase Price (in which case the [*] Notice shall be of no force or effect), Xxxxxx shall, on the tenth Business Day following ROS’s receipt of such [*] Notice, [*]. The payment of the Purchase Price shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by ROS, or, if not timely designated by ROS, to the ROS account set forth on its signature page to this Agreement.
