Costs and Disbursements (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Schedules to this Agreement, a Recipient of Services shall pay to the Provider of such Services a monthly fee for the Services (or category of Services, as applicable) (each fee constituting a “Service Charge” and, collectively, “Service Charges”), which Service Charges shall be agreed to by the Parties from time to time and generally determined in a manner consistent with the methodology used by HBIO for assessing fees with respect to the H▇▇▇ Business; provided further that to the extent the Service Charge for a particular Service is accrued on an hourly basis, such Service Charge shall be paid monthly by the Recipient and include the aggregate amount of the hourly charges for the immediate preceding month. During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Service Charge for any Services (or category of Services, as applicable) may increase to the extent of: (i) any increases mutually agreed to by the Parties, (ii) any Service Charges applicable to any Additional Services or New Services, and (iii) any increase in the rates or charges imposed by any third-party provider that is providing Services. Together with any monthly invoice for Service Charges, the Provider shall provide the Recipient with documentation to support the calculation of such Service Charges.
(b) Recipient shall reimburse Provider for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Provider or its Affiliates in connection with providing the Services to the extent that such costs and expenses are not reflected in the Service Charge for such Services; provided, however, that any such cost or expense not consistent with historical practice between the Parties and exceeding $2,500 per month, for any Service (including business travel and related expenses) shall require advance approval of the Recipient. Any authorized travel-related expenses incurred in performing the Services shall be incurred and charged to Recipient in accordance with Provider’s then applicable business travel policies.
(c) The Recipient shall pay the amount of each such invoice by wire transfer (or such other method of payment as may be agreed between the Parties) to the Provider within thirty (30) days of the receipt of each such invoice, including appropriate documentation as described herein, as instructed by the Provider. In the absence of a timely notice of billing dispute in accordance with the provisions of Article IX of this Agreement, if the Recipient fails to pay such amount by the due date, the Recipient shall be obligated to pay to the Provider, in addition to the amount due, interest at an annual default interest rate of three percent (3%), or the maximum legal rate whichever is lower (the “Interest Payment”), accruing from the date the payment was due through the date of actual payment.
(d) Subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 11.03, each Party shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, provide, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice from the other Party, any information within such Party’s or its Affiliates’ possession that the requesting Party reasonably requests in connection with any Services being provided to such requesting Party by an unaffiliated third-party provider, including any applicable invoices, agreements documenting the arrangements between such third-party provider and the Provider and other supporting documentation; provided, however, that each Party shall make no more than one such request during any fiscal quarter.
