As used herein, “Net Salesshall mean, with respect to a certain time period, the gross amount billed or invoiced by or on behalf of Coeptis and/or its Affiliates and/or any sublicensee of the above (the “Invoicing Entity”) with respect to sales of Products and/or with respect to, inter alia, license royalties, milestone payments or other similar payments (“Gross Sales”) (whether made before or after the FCS), less the following: (a) customary trade, quantity, or prompt pay discounts to the extent actually allowed and taken, including government rebates; (b) amounts repaid or credited by reason of rejection or return, that the Invoicing Entity has not and will not dispute; (c) to the extent separately stated on purchase orders, invoices, or other documents of sale, any taxes or other governmental charges levied on the production, sale, transportation, import, export, delivery, or use of a Product which is paid by or on behalf of the Invoicing Entity; and (d) outbound transportation, packing and delivery charges, as well as prepaid freight (including shipping insurance) actually incurred; provided, however, that, (i) in any transfers of Products between the Invoicing Entity and an Affiliate of the Invoicing Entity not for the purpose of resale by such Affiliate, Net Sales shall be equal to the fair market value of the Products so transferred, assuming an arm's length transaction made in the ordinary course of business; and (ii) in the event that the Invoicing Entity, or the Affiliate of the Invoicing Entity, receives non-monetary consideration for any Products or in the case of transactions not at arm's length with a non-Affiliate of the Invoicing Entity, Net Sales shall be calculated based on the fair market value of such consideration or transaction, assuming an arm's length transaction made in the ordinary course of business. Sales of Products by (i) an Invoicing Party to an Affiliate of such Invoicing Party, for resale by such Affiliate, shall not be deemed Net Sales and Net Sales shall be determined based on the total amount invoiced or billed by such Affiliate on resale to an independent third party Customer (ii) an Invoicing Party to a third party pursuant to a supply agreement (or similar agreement), for resale by such third party, shall be deemed Net Sales and Net Sales shall be determined based on the total amount invoiced and billed by Coeptis (or its Affiliate or Sublicensee) to such third party customer. For the avoidance of doubt, a third party purchaser of Product from Coeptis pursuant to a supply agreement (or similar agreement), for resale by such third party, is not a sublicensee hereunder.

 

2.4. Payment Terms. The foregoing Royalty Fee payments shall be made within 10 days of Coeptis' submission of the applicable quarterly Report (as defined in Section 3.4 below) for a calendar quarter. No part of any amount payable to Kitov hereunder may be reduced due to any counterclaim, set-off, adjustment, withholding or other right which Coeptis may have against Kitov, unless otherwise agreed between the parties as part of good faith discussions.

 

2.5. Taxes. All payments under Section 2.3 shall be subject to any required withholding, if any. Each party will pay any and all taxes levied on account of any payments made to it under this Agreement.”

 

1.2 All other references in the Agreement to Profit Distributions shall be changed to Royalty Fees.
