     6.4 Reports. Within [***] after the end of each Calendar Quarter after the Transfer Date, Cornerstone shall deliver a report to Chiesi (a “Report”) specifying, for such Calendar Quarter in the Territory:

     6.5 Records.

Such audit shall be conducted exclusively for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of reports delivered by Cornerstone to Chiesi pursuant to Section 6.4 and the accuracy of Cornerstone’s determination of the amounts payable or paid by Cornerstone to Chiesi hereunder. The accountant shall sign a confidentiality agreement prepared by Cornerstone and shall then have the right to examine the records kept pursuant to this Section 6.5.1 and report to Chiesi the findings (but not the underlying data) of such examination of records. The accountant shall provide a draft copy of the report to Chiesi and Cornerstone for review and comment, and each of Chiesi and Cornerstone shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of that report to review and comment on the report which comments shall be provided to the accountant and to each other. The final report shall be provided simultaneously to Chiesi and Cornerstone by the independent certified public accountant within twenty (20) days after the accountant’s receipt and consideration of such comments. In the event that an audit has been initiated by Chiesi, the records that have been the subject of the audit shall be kept until the later of (i) the expiry of any time period set out in Section 6.5.2 for the payment or credit of any amounts owing or (ii) the resolution of any dispute arising from the audit.

          6.5.2 Adjustments. Cornerstone shall pay to Chiesi within forty-five (45) days after the delivery of the accountant’s report pursuant to Section 6.5.1 any amounts determined by the accountant to be payable by Cornerstone to Chiesi. If the accountant determines that Cornerstone has overpaid Chiesi, Chiesi shall credit Cornerstone in an amount equal to such overpayment on the immediately succeeding invoice rendered to Cornerstone; provided, however, that if this Agreement has terminated or expired, then Chiesi shall pay to Cornerstone within forty-five (45) days after the delivery of the accountant’s report pursuant to Section 6.5.1 an amount equal to such overpayment.

     6.6 Withholding Taxes. (a) Chiesi and Cornerstone agree that all payments due to Chiesi from Cornerstone hereunder shall be made by Cornerstone free and clear of, and without deduction for, any Income or Withholding Taxes, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3 and this Section 6.6. If the fiscal or taxing authorities of any relevant jurisdiction assert that Income or Withholding Taxes are required to be withheld from any payments due to Chiesi or its Affiliates from Cornerstone or its Affiliates, or the tax laws (including statutes, regulations, treaties and judicial or official interpretations of any of the foregoing) in one or more jurisdictions have changed so as to require such treatment, then (i) the Party made aware of such assertion or change in law shall inform the other Party within thirty (30) days and shall consult with the other Party regarding the consequences of such assertion or change and (ii) until the conclusion of such consultation Cornerstone and its Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold the applicable Income or Withholding Tax from any applicable payments due to Chiesi or its Affiliates and pay such Income or Withholding Tax over to the applicable fiscal or taxing authority. If, after consultation with Chiesi, Cornerstone believes that it or any of its Affiliates is required to withhold Income or Withholding Tax from any payment to or for the account of Chiesi or its Affiliates, such amount shall be deducted from the amounts payable to or for the account of Chiesi or its Affiliates and shall be paid by Cornerstone to the appropriate fiscal or tax authorities, provided that Cornerstone shall however take all reasonable steps in order to allow Chiesi to take advantage of the relevant double taxation treaty(ies) for the purpose of minimizing withholding taxes on such amounts, so long as Chiesi and its Affiliates promptly provides any forms, certificates or other documentation or information that Chiesi or its Affiliates are required or reasonably requested by Cornerstone to provide in connection with such minimization. Cornerstone shall promptly furnish Chiesi with copies of official tax receipts or other appropriate evidence to support a claim for tax or other credit in respect of any sum so withheld, and shall provide such assistance as Chiesi may reasonably require in obtaining any refund of such amounts to which Chiesi or its Affiliates may be entitled, to the extent that such assistance does not cause Cornerstone or its Affiliates to incur any liability in respect of any of the taxes asserted to be due or other cost or expense. For purposes of this Agreement, “Income or Withholding Tax” means (i) any tax, levy or charge imposed by a governmental authority that is computed or determined by reference to gross or net receipts, revenues, sales, income, earnings, profits or gains of Chiesi or any of its Affiliates or any office, branch, permanent establishment or trade or business of Chiesi or any of its Affiliates, (ii) any tax, levy or charge imposed by a governmental authority as a result of the payment or accrual of amounts to or for the account of Chiesi or any of its Affiliates in respect of the grant of rights or sale of Product by Chiesi or any of its Affiliates to Cornerstone or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) any additional amount, penalty, interest or addition to tax imposed with respect to the foregoing or cost or expense relating to the imposition or contest of the foregoing.

Furthermore, all promotional and sales material contemplated by this Section, along with all inner and outer packaging items of the Product, shall clearly indicate the legend “Under license of CHIESI”.

     8.3 Enforcement. Cornerstone shall promptly inform Chiesi in writing of any actual or alleged unauthorized use of the Chiesi Intellectual Property by a Third Party of which it becomes aware and provide Chiesi with any available evidence of such unauthorized use.

Cornerstone shall reasonably cooperate with Chiesi to enforce such rights.

     8.4 Trademarks.

          8.4.2 Cornerstone acknowledges that Chiesi or its Affiliate or licensors are the owner of all rights, title and interest to the Trademark and all associated goodwill and further acknowledges that Chiesi may terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.4, if Cornerstone takes any action which materially impairs any such right, title or

interest or challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of the Trademark, or the substantial and secret nature of the Know-How in the Territory. For the avoidance of doubt, Chiesi shall not have any rights with respect to Cornerstone’s logo and any other Cornerstone-owned trade dress the Parties agree to include on the packages, labeling and inserts related to the Product.

          8.4.3 Cornerstone will not attack, dispute, or contest the validity or the ownership of the Trademark or any registrations issued or issuing with respect thereto, both during the Term of this Agreement and thereafter.

In the event Cornerstone acquires any rights relating to the Trademark for any reason, Cornerstone agrees to assign, and hereby does assign, at no cost, all such rights, together with any related goodwill, to Chiesi. Cornerstone shall use its best efforts not to do any act which would or might endanger, destroy or similarly affect the value of the goodwill pertaining to the Trademark nor do any act which might support a petition to cancel any registration relating to the Trademark or cause the applicable registrar to require a disclaimer of exclusive rights in such Trademark nor assist any other person or other entity directly or indirectly in such act. Cornerstone will immediately execute any documents presented to it by Chiesi to confirm Chiesi’s ownership of all such rights.

Cornerstone shall not alter the packaging of the Products or conceal, obscure, remove or otherwise interfere with the Trademark or other markings including an indication of the source of origin which may be placed on the Product for Chiesi. Cornerstone shall ensure that the Product is promoted, distributed, handled, marketed, stored on its (or its designee’s) premises, and shipped to its customers, in such a manner that would not depreciate the goodwill associated with the Trademark used in association with the Product.

          8.4.6 Chiesi will be entitled to conduct all enforcement proceedings relating to the Trademark and shall at its sole discretion decide what action, if any, to take in respect of any infringement or alleged infringement of the Trademark or passing-off or any other claim or counter-claim brought or threatened in respect of the use or registration of the Trademark. Any such proceedings shall be conducted at Chiesi’s expense and for its own benefit. At Chiesi’s written request to Cornerstone and Chiesi’s expense, Cornerstone shall reasonably cooperate with Chiesi in such efforts.

Cornerstone shall be notified of such proceedings involving the Trademark regardless of request for cooperation in such efforts within twenty (20) business days.

          8.4.7 If Chiesi elects not to exercise its right pursuant to Section 8.4.6, Chiesi shall promptly notify Cornerstone in writing of its election, and of the circumstance of such infringement. In such event Cornerstone shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take any

Such defense shall be at Chiesi’s cost and expense unless the alleged infringement relates to Cornerstone’s corporate logo or any other Cornerstone-owned trade dress the Parties agree to include on the packages, labeling and inserts related to the Product.

          8.4.10 In the event that a conflict arises between the interests of Chiesi and Cornerstone in any litigation described in this Article 8, the Party that is not funding the litigation shall have the right to be represented by counsel of its own choice and at its sole expense.

          8.4.11 Cornerstone shall not sell, market, distribute or use for any purpose any Product or marketing, packaging or labeling materials related to the Product which are damaged, defective or otherwise fail to meet the specification or quality standards or the trademark usage requirements of this Agreement.

Except as set forth herein and therein, Cornerstone shall have no right to use the trade names, trademarks or other intellectual property of Chiesi except as provided in writing in advance by Chiesi. Upon termination of this Agreement, Cornerstone will discontinue all use of the Chiesi name, Trademark and the Chiesi Intellectual Property and discontinue all representation that it is or was an authorized representative of Chiesi.

If either Party discloses such Confidential Information to the other, the receiving Party will (a) use at least the same degree of care to maintain the secrecy of such Confidential Information as the receiving Party uses to maintain the secrecy of its own confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care and (b) use the Confidential Information only to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.

     11.4 Terms of Agreement. Except as set forth below, no announcement or other disclosure, public or otherwise, concerning the financial or other terms of this Agreement shall be made, either directly or indirectly, by either Party to this Agreement, except as may be legally required, without first obtaining the written approval of the other Party as to the nature and text of such announcement or disclosure, such approval and agreement not to be unreasonably withheld.
