records are normally kept and such examination will be conducted during Aevi’s normal business hours. Upon completion of
the audit, the Accountant will provide both Aevi and the Investor Representative a written report disclosing any discrepancies
in (i) the reports submitted by Aevi or (ii) any amounts paid by Aevi under this Agreement, and, in each case, the specific details
concerning any discrepancies. If the Accountant concludes that additional amounts were due under this Agreement, then Aevi will
pay to the Investor Representative such additional amounts within thirty (30) days of the date Aevi receives the Accountant’s
written report. Further, if the amount of such underpayments exceeds more than five percent (5%) of the amounts that were properly
payable to the Investor Representative for all audited periods, then Aevi will reimburse the Investor Representative for the Investor
Representative’s out-of-pocket costs in connection with the audit. If such accounting firm concludes that Aevi made payments

damages. After written notice by Aevi to such Investor of its election to assume control and defense of any third party action,
Aevi shall not be liable to such Investor for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Investor in connection with the
defense thereof, so long as Aevi assumes and diligently conducts such defense in a timely manner.
