4. COMPENSATION.
 
4.1 PCCA Recovery Fee.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the event of a Successful Transaction with a Identified Member/Customer whereby such Identified Member/Customer becomes a Licensor, in consideration for PCCA’s performance of its obligations under Section 3.4 with respect to such Identified Member/Customer, Imprimis shall pay to PCCA an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Net Receipts relating to the Licensed IP Rights of such Licensor, until Imprimis has paid to PCCA the aggregate amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) under this Section 4.1.
 
4.2 PCCA Commission.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the event of a Successful Transaction with a Identified Member/Customer whereby such Identified Member/Customer becomes a Licensor, in consideration for the introduction made by PCCA to such Identified Member/Customer in accordance with Section 3.3 and subject to PCCA’s performance of its obligations under Section 3.4 with respect to such Identified Member/Customer, after the payment in full of all the amounts owing under Section 4.1 relating to the Licensed IP Rights of such Licensor, Imprimis shall pay to PCCA a commission equal to (a)(i) six percent (6%), plus (ii) one-half of the positive remainder of (A) fifteen percent (15%), minus (B) the percentage owing to such Licensor of Net Receipts relating to the Licensed IP Rights of such Licensor, times (b) the Net Receipts relating to the Licensed IP Rights of such Licensor (unless otherwise mutually agreed by PCCA and Imprimis).

4.5 Commission Reports.  Within forty five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement following the first to occur of the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product and the receipt by Imprimis or its Affiliates of Net Sublicensing Revenues, Imprimis shall furnish to PCCA a quarterly written report showing in reasonably specific detail (a) the calculation of all Commissions owing to PCCA; (b) the withholding taxes, if any, required by law to be deducted with respect to such sales; and (c) the exchange rates, if any, used in determining the amount of United States dollars.  With respect to amounts received or costs incurred in United States dollars, all amounts shall be expressed in United States dollars.  With respect to amounts received or costs incurred in a currency other than United States dollars, all amounts shall be expressed both in the currency in which the amounts were received or costs were incurred and the United States dollar equivalent.  The United States dollar equivalent shall be calculated using the average of the exchange rate (local currency per US$1) published in The Wall Street Journal, Western Edition, under the heading “Currency Trading” on the last business day of each month during the applicable calendar quarter.
 
4.6 Audits.
 
4.6.1 Upon the written request of PCCA and not more than once in each calendar year, Imprimis shall permit an independent certified public accounting firm of nationally recognized standing selected by PCCA and reasonably acceptable to Imprimis, at PCCA’s expense, to have access during normal business hours to such of the financial records of Imprimis as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the payment reports hereunder for the eight (8) calendar quarters immediately prior to the date of such request (other than records for which PCCA has already conducted an audit under this Section 4.6).
 
4.6.2 If such accounting firm concludes that additional amounts were owed during the audited period, Imprimis shall pay such additional amounts within thirty (30) days after the date PCCA delivers to Imprimis such accounting firm’s written report so concluding.  The fees charged by such accounting firm shall be paid by PCCA; provided, however, if the audit discloses that the commissions payable by Imprimis for such period are more than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the commissions actually paid for such period, then Imprimis shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses charged by such accounting firm.
 
4.6.3 PCCA shall cause its accounting firm to retain all financial information subject to review under this Section 4.6 in strict confidence; provided, however, that Imprimis shall have the right to require that such accounting firm, prior to conducting such audit, enter into an appropriate non-disclosure agreement with Imprimis regarding such financial information.  The accounting firm shall disclose to PCCA only whether the reports are correct or not and the amount of any discrepancy.  No other information shall be shared.  PCCA shall treat all such financial information as Imprimis’ confidential information.
 
4.7 Payment Terms.  Commissions shown to have accrued by each report provided under Section 4.3 shall be due on the date such report is due.  Payment of such commissions in whole or in part may be made in advance of such due date.
 
4.8 Exchange Control.  If at any time legal restrictions prevent the prompt remittance of part or all Commissions with respect to any country where a Licensed Product is sold, then Imprimis shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to make such payments by depositing the amount thereof in local currency to PCCA’s account in a bank or other depository institution in such country.  If the commission rate specified in this Agreement should exceed the permissible rate established in any country, the commission rate for sales in such country shall be adjusted to the highest legally permissible or government-approved rate.
 
4.9 Withholding Taxes.  Imprimis shall be entitled to deduct the amount of any withholding taxes, value-added taxes or other taxes, levies or charges with respect to such Commissions, other than United States taxes, payable by Imprimis or its Affiliates, or any taxes required to be withheld by Imprimis or its Affiliates, to the extent Imprimis or its Affiliates pay to the appropriate governmental authority on behalf of PCCA such taxes, levies or charges.  Imprimis shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any such taxes, levies or charges required to be withheld on behalf of PCCA by Imprimis or its Affiliates.  Imprimis promptly shall deliver to PCCA proof of payment of all such taxes, levies and other charges, together with copies of all communications from or with such governmental authority with respect thereto.
 
5. DILIGENCE.
 
Within ten (10) days after Imprimis receives any notice of breach or termination from a Licensor in accordance with the agreement relating to the applicable Licensed IP Rights, Imprimis shall give written notice thereof to PCCA, and in the event of the termination of such agreement, PCCA shall have the right to contact such Licensor and to acquire the rights in the applicable Licensed IP Rights.
 
6. AMENDED FREEDOM COVENANT.
 
Section 1.11 of the License Agreement dated as of August 30, 2012, between PCCA and Imprimis hereby is amended and restated to read in full as follows:
 
1.11          “Freedom Period” shall mean, with respect to a Product, the period commencing on the date of the first regulatory approval of such Product and ending on the eighteen (18) month anniversary thereof; provided, however, that the Freedom Period shall continue thereafter with respect to such Licensed Product unless and until (a) if there is at least one Third Party that has obtained an NDA, ANDA or its equivalent to sell a similarly delivered pharmaceutical product comprising the active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) therein, the applicable market share of such Product in such jurisdiction (as reasonably demonstrated by Imprimis) does not equal or exceed ten percent (10%) of the prescription drug sales for all similarly delivered products comprising the active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) therein, or (b) otherwise, the applicable market share of such Product in such jurisdiction (as reasonably demonstrated by Imprimis) does not equal or exceed fifty percent (50%) of the prescription drug sales for all similarly delivered products comprising the active pharmaceutical ingredient(s) therein, in each case as determined by a mutually acceptable industry data source for the preceding twelve (12) months for which data is then available.
