Upon receiving any necessary consent to do so, Sanofi will provide KaloBios with copies of all such Third Party Agreements.

For all subsequent Royalty payments, payment shall be made within [***] days following the end of the calendar quarter in which the Net Sales for such quarter have been earned by KaloBios (e.g. for KaloBios’ Net Sales earned from January 1st to March 31 in a given year, Sanofi shall receive the corresponding Royalty payment by no later than May 30th of the same year).  Royalty payments shall be made by KaloBios to Sanofi to such account as Sanofi may direct in writing. Each Royalty payment shall be accompanied by an itemized written report showing the basis on which the Royalty payment amount(s) were calculated. If no Royalty payment is due to Sanofi for such reporting period, the report shall state this. In respect of all payments due to Sanofi hereunder, except for Royalty payments or service payment reimbursements, KaloBios shall remit such payments to Sanofi, to such account as Sanofi may direct in writing, within [***] days of the occurrence of any event under Article 3 obligating KaloBios to make a payment to Sanofi (other than Royalty payments) without having received any invoice from Sanofi.

All payments due to Sanofi hereunder shall be paid in Dollars and made by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by Sanofi.  Any payments or portions thereof due hereunder that are not received by Sanofi on the date such payments are due under this Termination Agreement shall bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of: (a) [***], or any successor thereto, at 12:01 a.m. on the first day of each calendar quarter in which such payments are overdue; or (b) the [***], in each case calculated on the number of days such payment is delinquent, compounded monthly.

(e) The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in Dollars of Net Sales invoiced in other currencies shall be made at the average of the daily closing exchange rates reported in The Wall Street Journal (U.S., Western Edition) over the applicable reporting period for the payment due.

(f) KaloBios will maintain complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to permit Sanofi to confirm the correct amount of all payments owed under this Termination Agreement including all Royalty, Sublicense Revenue and [***].  Upon reasonable prior notice, such records shall be available during regular business hours for a period of [***] from the end of the calendar year to which they pertain for examination at the expense of Sanofi, and not more often than once each calendar year, by an independent certified public accountant selected by Sanofi and reasonably acceptable to KaloBios, for the sole purpose of verifying the correct amount of the [***] Sublicense Revenue and Royalty payments owed by KaloBios pursuant to this Termination Agreement.  Any such auditor shall not disclose KaloBios’ Confidential Information to Sanofi or any Third Party, except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to accomplish such purpose.  Any amounts shown to be owed but unpaid shall be paid by KaloBios in accordance with Subsection 3.5(d) following receipt of the accountant’s report. Sanofi shall be responsible for the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by KaloBios of more than [***] percent ([***]%) of the amount due, in which case KaloBios shall be responsible for the full cost of such audit. 

---

3.6 Taxes.  

(a) Taxes on Income.  Each Party shall be solely responsible for the payment of all taxes it is liable for. 

 

(b) Tax Cooperation.  The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of royalties, milestone payments, and other payments made by KaloBios to Sanofi under this Termination Agreement.  To the extent KaloBios is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment to Sanofi, KaloBios shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner, deduct this amount from the payment due to Sanofi and promptly transmit to Sanofi evidence of such withholding sufficient to enable Sanofi to claim any amount allowed by its own tax authorities.  In order to benefit from the provisions of the double tax treaty between France and the United States, Sanofi will complete and sign the Certificate of Residence and Application for a Reduction of Withholding Tax on Royalties forms or such other applicable forms and send them to KaloBios immediately upon the Termination Agreement Effective Date and every January thereafter.   In the event Sanofi fails to promptly provide such forms duly completed and signed, KaloBios will notify Sanofi in writing to the address listed in Section 6.5, that it must send such forms to KaloBios.  If, after thirty (30) days of such written notice to Sanofi, KaloBios has not received such documents, KaloBios will declare and pay withholding tax at the common rate of the applicable corporate income tax, and such tax will then be deducted from the corresponding payment by KaloBios to Sanofi, and proof of payment will be sent to Sanofi as evidence of such payment.

 

3.7 Non-Monetary Consideration.  In the event KaloBios receives any non-monetary consideration in connection with the sale of a Licensed Product, KaloBios’s payment obligations under this Article 3 shall be based on the fair market value of such other consideration.  In such case, KaloBios shall disclose the terms of such arrangement to Sanofi and the Parties shall endeavor in good faith to agree on such fair market value.

 

3.8 Blocked Currency.  In each country where the local currency is blocked and cannot be removed from the country, royalties accrued in that country shall be paid to Sanofi in Dollars based on the Dollar reported sales for the quarter in accordance with applicable Laws and accounting standards, unless otherwise mutually agreed.
