Upon termination or expiration of a Dario Platform Agreement with a Bundled Account during the Term, if Xxxxx renews or enters into a new Dario Platform Agreement with such account during the Term but Sanofi does not enter into a new Sanofi Rebate Agreement to incentivize such new Dario Platform Agreement, such account will cease to be a Bundled Account and will instead be deemed either a Qualifying Health Plan Account or a Qualifying Employer Channel Account (as applicable) and be subject to all obligations for Qualifying Health Plan Account or a Qualifying Employer Channel Account (as applicable), including without limitation, the payment obligations set forth in Sections 7.4.1 and 7.4.2. Xxxxx shall have no obligation to pay Sanofi a revenue share under this SectionΒ 7.4.4. following the Term if this Agreement is terminated by Xxxxx for Sanofiβs uncured material breach pursuant to Section 12.2.1. |

β
28
reason, Xxxxx shall have no obligation to pay Sanofi a revenue share under this Section 7.4.4 following the Term.
7.5 | [Reserved]. |
7.6 | Currency; Payment Terms; Exchange Rate. All payments under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars.

The fees charged by such accounting firm will be paid by Sanofi; except that if the audit discloses that the revenue share fees payable by Xxxxx for the audited period are more than 105% of the payments actually paid for such period, then Xxxxx will pay the reasonable fees and expenses charged by such accounting firm.

12.2 | Termination. |
12.2.1 | Termination by Either Party for Material Breach. If either Party believes that the other is in material breach of this Agreement, then the non-breaching Party may deliver notice of such breach to the other Party. Following notification by a Party of a material breach by the other Party, which breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice of such breach (or such longer time as may be agreed by the Parties in writing), the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon notice to the other Party. If a Party disputes an invoiced amount in good faith and notifies the invoicing Party of the good faith dispute within the original time for payment, accompanying such notice with an explanation of the dispute and providing supporting documentation, then such Party may withhold the disputed amount (but shall pay the undisputed amount), and such withholding is not considered a material breach. In this event, the Parties will meet promptly to discuss the dispute, and will work in good faith to resolve the dispute as quickly as possible. |

12.2.2 | Termination by Either Party for Force Majeure. If the event of Force Majeure continues for a period of more than one hundred eighty (180) days, then the Party not claiming the benefit of Force Majeure may terminate this Agreement upon giving the other Party thirty (30) daysβ written notice of its intention so to do, but such notice shall not take effect if the Party claiming the benefit of Force Majeure gives notice within that period that the cause has ceased to prevent its performance of this Agreement. |

12.2.4 | Termination by Xxxxx for Failure to Meet Net Sales Requirements. Xxxxx will have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement if beginning at the end of Year 3, sum of annual Net Sales of the Solution and Enhanced Solution arising from (a) Qualifying Health Plan Accounts and (b) Bundled Accounts is less than 35% of corresponding sum of annual Net Sales of the Solution and Enhanced Solution arising from (a) all accounts in the Health Plan Channel, excluding Qualifying Health Plan Accounts (i) signed prior to the Effective Date or (ii) listed in the Advanced Discussion List and (b) Bundled Accounts; provided that for purposes of this calculation, Qualifying Health Plan Accounts whose subscription terms are, as of the Termination Date, within their first 6 months will be included assuming that the revenues from such Qualifying Health Plan Accounts would be equivalent to the revenue of a similarly sized account using the average of the Dario book of business for health plans, and following the first 6 months, the calculation shall be based on actual revenues. |

12.3.4 | The Health Plan Revenue Share Stoppage will no longer apply to any of Xxxxxβs revenue share payment obligations under Section 7.4.1.2. |
12.3.5 | In the event of termination due to Xxxxxβs failure to complete a Development Plan under Section 12.2.6 or due to termination for convenience under Section 12.2.5, the Parties will work together to calculate, as of the date of termination, based on the amount of Development Plan milestone payments made by Sanofi to Xxxxx under Section 7.2 and the Fair Market Value of the deliverables that Xxxxx completed and delivered pursuant to the Development Plan, whether Xxxxx will repay any Fair Market Value for deliverables not yet delivered, or whether Sanofi will pay Xxxxx for any Fair Market Value for deliverables delivered, as applicable. |
