         shall perform its review and test promptly and inform Licensor of any
         defect in or modifications that have to be made to the Delivery
         Materials within forty five (45) days after receipt thereof. Licensee's

         and promises not to claim any right or reimbursement on the translation
         or Local Version in any case. It is understood however that any defects

         in the Game, without the prior written approval of Licensor.

         receive such payments as a tax credit under the relevant laws of Korea
         or any existing tax treaty between the respective countries of
         operation of Licensor and Licensee. In the event that any amount is

         expiration or termination thereof, Licensor may by itself or through an
         accountant designated by Licensor investigate and audit the accounting
         documents of Licensee with respect to its Game business. For this
         purpose, Licensor may request Licensee to produce the relevant
         documents, and may visit Licensee's office and make copies of
         Licensee's documents. Licensee shall provide all assistance and
         co-operation required by Licensor for such investigation and audit. All
         expenses incurred for such investigation and audit shall be borne by
         Licensor unless such investigation and audit reveals underpayment by
         greater than five percent (5%) of the annual Royalty amount, in which
         case Licensee shall bear all expenses for such investigation and audit
         and shall also promptly pay to Licensor the unpaid amount together with
         a per annum default interest thereon equivalent to twelve (12%) percent
         thereof. [In the event of Licensee's understatement of the Royalty
         amount without any justifiable reasons, Licensor shall be entitled to
         terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.3(b) below.]
