3. PAYMENT:
(a) The Royalty shall be calculated and paid on a quarterly basis within
45 days after the end of each quarter of the Fiscal Period in respect
of the actual proceeds received in such fiscal quarter.
(b) Each payment of Royalty will be accompanied by an unaudited statement
indicating the calculation of the Royalty hereunder in reasonable
detail and the Seller will receive, within 3 months of the end of each
Fiscal Period, an annual summary unaudited statement (an "Annual
Statement") showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the
Royalty for the last completed Fiscal Period and showing all credits
and deductions added to or deducted from the amount due to the holder
of the Royalty.
(c) The Seller will have 45 days from the time of receipt of the Annual
Statement to question the accuracy thereof in writing and, failing
such objection, the Annual Statement will be deemed to be correct and
unimpeachable thereafter.
(d) If the Annual Statement is questioned by the Seller, and if such
questions cannot be resolved between the Seller and the Purchaser, the
Seller will have 12 months from the time of receipt of the Annual
Statement to have such audited, which will initially be at the expense
of the Seller.
(e) The audited Annual Statement will be final and determinative of the
calculation of the Royalty for the audited period and will be binding
on the parties. Any overpayment of Royalty will be deducted by the
Purchaser from future payments of Royalty and any underpayment of
Royalty will be paid forthwith by the Purchaser upon it receiving the
audited Annual Statement.
(f) The costs of the audit will be borne by the Seller if the Purchaser's
Annual Statement was accurate within 1% or overstated the Royalty
payable by greater than 1% and will be borne by the Purchaser if such
statement understated the Royalty payable by greater than 1%. If the
Purchaser is obligated to pay for the audit it will forthwith
reimburse the Seller for any of the audit costs which it had paid.
(g) The Seller will be entitled to examine, on reasonable notice and
during normal business hours, such books and records as are reasonably
necessary to verify the payment of the Royalty to it from time to
time, provided however that such examination shall not unreasonably
interfere with or hinder the Purchaser's operations or procedures.
