5.Accounting Statements. Company shall provide Payee with a statement of royalties due Payee under this Agreement on or before the Due Date for the Calendar Quarter to which the payment relates, setting forth the amount due to Payee for that Calendar Quarter and, in reasonable detail, the factual basis for calculating the amount. 

 

6.Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions between the Parties, which supersedes and merges all prior proposals, understandings, and all other agreements, oral and written, between the Parties relating to the subject of this Agreement.
