In the event any such inspection reveals that Developer has failed to pay or underpaid any amounts of the Fig Share or spent any amount of the Fig Funds for any purpose unrelated to the development, marketing, publishing or operation of the Licensed Game, then Developer will (i) in the case of any underpaid payment of the Fig Share, immediately pay the underpaid amount upon demand or (ii) in the case of misused Fig Funds, immediately return to Fig such amount shown to be misused, upon written demand from Fig; any such repayment of Fig Funds shall not affect the allocation of the Fig Share resulting from the Fig Funds previously paid to Developer by Fig. Such payments will also include interest calculated from the date such payments were originally due at the rate of the lower of (i) One and One-Half Percent (1.5%) per month, or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law.
