For the avoidance of doubt, the royalties [*] that are paid to Astellas by Portola pursuant to Sections 4.2(ii) and 4.2(iii) above shall be solely with respect to [*] and [*], as applicable.

4.4 | If royalties to a third party are paid for the practice of such third party’s intellectual property which is essential and is not reasonably circumvented for the development and commercialization of a Licensed Product (such royalties shall be hereinafter referred to as “Third Party Royalties”), the royalties set forth in Section 4.3 hereof shall be reduced by an amount equal to [*] of any Third Party Royalties on Net Sales of such Licensed Product; provided that in no event shall the royalties payable as set forth above be reduced to less than [*] of the royalties computed under the conditions set forth in Section 4.3 above. For clarification, the foregoing provision in this Section 4.4 shall not apply to any other royalties payable to a third party for the use of such third party’s intellectual property, including without limitation such third party’s proprietary manufacturing method, proprietary formulation technology and/or trademark. |
4.5 | All amounts payable hereunder by Portola shall be payable in US dollar to the bank account designated by Astellas. lf any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the royalty payment under Section 4.3 hereof, such conversion shall be made by using the exchange rates at the closing on the last business day of a calendar quarter to which such royalty payment relates as reported in The Wall Street Journal on the following day. |

4.7 | Late payments shall be subject to an interest charge of [*], or maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. |
4.8 | If laws or regulations require withholding by a party of any taxes imposed upon the other party on account of any royalties or milestone payments paid under this Agreement, such taxes shall be deducted by the party who makes the payment from such payment and shall be paid by the party to the proper taxing authorities. Official receipts of payment of any withholding tax shall be secured and sent to the other party as evidence of such payment. The parties will exercise their commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any withholding taxes imposed are reduced as far as possible under the provisions of any applicable tax treaty. |
4.9 | Portola shall, and shall cause its sublicensees to keep complete and accurate records of Net Sales in sufficient detail to enable the amounts payable under this Article 4 to be determined. Upon Astellas’s written request, Portola shall, and shall cause its sublicensees to, permit an independent accountant of Astellas, who is reasonably acceptable to it or its sublicensees as the case may be, to examine such records no more frequently than [*] during the [*] period after the calendar quarter to which they pertain, during its or its sublicensee’s regular business hours, to the extent necessary to verify any report required under this Agreement, provided that such examination shall in no event be repeated on any particular record. The fees and expenses of said independent accountant performing such examination shall be borne by the party requesting such examination (“Auditing Party”). However, if an error in the amount in the payment report is discovered resulting in an underpayment of more than [*], then the party who was so audited (“Audited Party”) shall pay to the Auditing Party (i) the reasonable fees and expenses arising from the examination of such independent accountant and (ii) any amount due and unpaid, together with interest on such amount at a rate equivalent to [*] from the date such amount was originally due, or at the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. The Auditing Party shall cause the report of such accountant to be limited to a certificate verifying any report made or payment submitted by the Audited Party during such period but may include, in the event the accountant shall be unable to verify the correctness of any such payment, information relating to why such payment is unverifiable. The Auditing Party shall cause such accountant to keep confidential all the information obtained in the course of such examination. |
