All Royalty Payments to be made by Grantor hereunder shall be made in US dollars by fedwire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Royalty Holder. Grantor shall not take any set-off or deduction against the Royalty Payments.
2.2
Each Royalty Payment shall be accompanied by a royalty report setting out in reasonable detail (i) the number of units of Product sold, (ii) the gross sales of Product, (iii) deductions taken from Net Sales as specified in the definition thereof, (iv) Net Sales, (v) the gross amount of any payments received by Grantor of any other member of the InNexus Group pursuant to any Third Party Product Development Agreement, (vi) Royalty Payments owed, (vii) the computations for any applicable currency conversions pursuant to Section 2.4, (viii) the date of First Commercial Sale for each Product, and (ix) any other information as Royalty Holder may reasonably request.
2.3
Grantor shall keep, and shall cause all other members of the InNexus Group and all Pharmaceutical Partners to keep, adequate books and records of accounting for the purpose of calculating all amounts payable to Royalty Holder hereunder. For the five (5) years next following the end of the calendar year to which each shall pertain, such books and records of accounting shall be kept at each of their principal place of business and shall be open for inspection at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice by an independent certified accountant selected by Royalty Holder, and which is reasonably acceptable to Parent and Grantor, for the sole purpose of inspecting the amounts owed to Royalty Holder under this Agreement. In no event shall such inspections be conducted hereunder more frequently than once every six (6) months. Any underpayments from any such inspection shall be paid by Grantor within thirty (30) days of notification of the results of such inspection. Royalty Holder shall pay for such inspections, except that in the event there is any upward adjustment in aggregate Royalty Payments payable for any calendar year shown by such inspection of more than the greater of (1) $50,000, or (2) five percent (5%) of the amount already paid for the audited period in question, Grantor shall reimburse Royalty Holder for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs for such inspection.

If Grantor is required by the law of any country to make any deduction, or withhold from any sum payable to Royalty Holder by Grantor hereunder, then the sum payable by Grantor upon which the deduction or withholding is based shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after such deduction or withholding, Royalty Holder receives and retains, free from liability for such deduction or withholding, a net amount equal to the amount Royalty Holder would have received and retained in the absence of such required deduction or withholding provided that, if such deduction or withholding is due to an application of taxation legislation not in effect or contemplated on the Effective Date, Grantor shall be required to increase the aforesaid sum only to the extent that the Grantor may thereafter recover and retain for itself such deduction or withholding.
