3. The payment to Company shall begin 30 days following the first quarter Company reaches Net Profit.

Any credit amount due Company shall be included in its next scheduled Accounting report. All fees applicable under paragraphs 5.a and 5/b will also be applicable to this section.
d. Failure by BBTG to timely object to Company’s Accounting and/or the Net Profit payment does not mean BBTG forfeits any additional payment that may be due. BBTG may raise the issue of Company’s Accounting and/or Net Profit payment amount during the Year-End Accounting as described in 5.c above.
e. If the parties do not agree to the Year-End Accounting and/or any additional Net Profit payment or credit due to either party, within thirty (30) days following the date the final Accounting is due:

All fees applicable under paragraphs 5.a and 5.b will also be applicable to this section, up to a period of ninety (90) days. If the accountant determines Company has overpaid and is entitled to a credit, that credit amount shall be included in the next quarterly Accounting.
f. If the objecting party fails to engage the services of an accountant within thirty (30) days following the date the final Accounting is due then that party shall be deemed to have waived its right to any objection and the final Accounting shall be considered as approved and agreed to by both parties.
7. Financial Records.
