Royalty. Seller is obligated to pay F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. an on-going royalty for sales of Tasmar Products. Accordingly, as of the Effective Time, Buyer agrees to pay to F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. on behalf of Seller a royalty equal to the ten percent (10%) of Net Sales (as defined in the Roche Agreements) of Tasmar Product sold after Closing. The foregoing royalty will expire on the earlier of (i) April 27, 2014 (i.e., ten years after the effective date of the Roche Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of all Patents (as defined in the Roche Agreements) within the WEEMEA Territory, on a country-by-country basis, (iii) the launch of a generic version of such product by, through the assistance of, or through Roche or its Affiliate (as defined in the Roche Agreement), or (iv) any other expiration date provided for in the Roche Agreement.
 
 
(b)
Royalty Payments. Each accounting period for purposes of this Clause 4.9(b) (each Accounting Period) commences quarterly respectively on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, each being the first day of an Accounting Period, and finishing respectively on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, each being the last day of an Accounting Period. Buyer will pay amounts due under this Section 4.2 in U.S. Dollars. Buyer will calculate such payments quarterly as of March 31, June 30, September and December 31 and will make payment on behalf of Seller within 30 days after the end of each Accounting Period in which such Net Sales occur (the Due Date). Whenever calculating royalties requires conversion from any foreign currency, Buyer will make such conversion by using the conversion rate for each applicable currency as quoted in the Financial Times (or, if not published, the Wall Street Journal Western Edition) for the last day of each Accounting Period. In the event that Buyer fails to make any such payment by the Due Date, (i) Seller shall be entitled to request the information from Buyer necessary to make the relevant payment, (ii) Buyer shall promptly provide such requested information to Seller, (iii) Seller shall promptly make such payment to Roche, and (iv) Buyer shall promptly reimburse such amount plus interest on the amount overdue, at the lesser of (a) the five percent (5%) per year, or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law, such interest to begin accruing on a daily basis from the date payment was made by Seller. The foregoing interest will begin to accrue and be payable to Seller without notice to Buyer unless, following resolution of any applicable dispute, it is determined that Buyer does not owe the disputed payment, which shall then be refunded by Seller.
 
 
(c)
Audit. Buyer and its Affiliates will keep full, true and accurate books and records containing all particulars that may be necessary to verifying Net Sales to Trade and calculating all amounts payable to Seller. Seller has the right from time to time, but not more than once per calendar year, to engage, at its own expense, its independent public accountant to perform, on Seller's behalf, an audit, of such books and records of Buyer and its Affiliates that are reasonably necessary to confirm the correctness of any report or payments made under this Agreement. Audit results will be shared by and be binding upon the parties. The right of Seller to audit the books and records of Buyer and/or its Affiliates will lapse after a period of three (3) years following the receipt of relevant payment. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that such audit results may be disclosed to F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd.

After the lapse of the Packing Material Usage Period, Buyer will not use any Seller Packaging Materials for any purpose and will destroy such Seller Packaging Materials except that Buyer may retain representative samples of Seller Packaging Materials solely for its internal and archival purposes. Except as required by the laws of any country within the Generic Territory, the WEEMEA Territory and the Extended WEEMEA Territory, Buyer will not use any hybrid packaging materials and labels bearing the marks of both Seller and Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller agrees to use reasonable endeavours to cease using Seller Packaging Material as soon as practicable following the Closing.
