If either Party has committed or commits any of the Prohibited Acts or has committed or commits any offence under the Bribery Act 2010 in relation to this Agreement, the other Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Clause 14, in addition to any other remedy available, taking into consideration the potential effects of termination on the health of Clinical Investigation Participants. Obligations of the Parties and the Principal Investigator Each Party represents and warrants that it has the right and authority to enter into this Agreement and that it has the capability and capacity to fulfil its obligations under this Agreement. The Parties agree to adhere to the principles of medical confidentiality in relation to Clinical Investigation Participants involved in the Clinical Investigation and potential Clinical Investigation Participants. The Sponsor shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining Regulatory Authority approval, as well as research ethics committee favourable opinion and any other approvals needed for the conduct of the Clinical Investigation. The Principal Investigator shall be responsible for: ensuring that the informed consent form, approved by the Sponsor and the relevant research ethics committee, is signed by each Clinical Investigation Participant before the first Clinical Investigation related procedure starts for that Clinical Investigation Participant, or that otherwise the arrangements as set out in the approved Clinical Investigation Plan are met for each Clinical Investigation Participant (for example, appropriate consultation under the relevant Mental Capacity Act of England and Wales or Northern Ireland / Adults With Incapacity Act of Scotland); making any necessary disclosures of financial interests and arrangements, as defined and requested by the Sponsor, provided that such disclosures may be made prior to the commencement of work activities associated with the Clinical Investigation as well as subsequent to Investigator Site Investigation Completion, and that the Principal Investigator, (all) Sub-investigator(s) and Personnel shall update such disclosures as necessary to maintain their accuracy and completeness during the term of this Agreement and for any other period required by applicable law. Subject to Clause 4.6 and Clause 4.6.1, the Sponsor shall submit the Clinical Investigation for listing in a free, publicly accessible research registry within twenty-one (21) days of initiation of the Clinical Investigation by enrolment of the first Clinical Investigation Participant.

If, having considered all the circumstances, the Sponsor is of the view that the public interest benefits of registering the Clinical Investigation on the timescale specified in Clause 4.5 are outweighed by the harm that registration at that time might do to the commercial value of the Investigational Medical Device or the commercial interests of the Sponsor, they may request the Health Research Authority (HRA) to authorise deferral of registration. [The Sponsor has not requested the HRA to authorise deferral of registration.] [The HRA has authorised Sponsor to defer registration and a copy of the authorisation is attached at Appendix 9.] The Parties shall conduct the Clinical Investigation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including the incorporated Clinical Investigation Plan) and: The manufacturers recommended Instructions for Use for the Investigational Medical Device; in the case of a Non-Regulated Clinical Investigation, the intended purpose for which the Investigational Medical Device has been CE Marked as detailed in the Instructions for Use; in the case of a Regulated Clinical Investigation, the Letter of No Objection to the Clinical Investigation issued by the MHRA; the terms and conditions of the favourable opinion of the research ethics committee. Until the Sponsor has obtained a letter of no objection from the MHRA (where the Clinical Investigation is a Regulated Clinical Investigation), a favourable opinion from the research ethics committee and any other necessary approvals, it shall not supply the Investigational Medical Device to the Trial Site. The Trial Site shall ensure that neither administration of the Investigational Medical Device to any Clinical Investigation Participant nor any other clinical intervention arising from the Clinical Investigation Plan takes place in relation to any Clinical Investigation Participant until it is satisfied that all relevant approvals have been obtained. In the event of any Amendments being made to the Clinical Investigation Plan, the Amendments shall be signed by the Principal Investigator and shall be implemented by the Personnel as required by the Sponsor. The Sponsor shall initiate simultaneously the change control procedures set out in Clause 16.3 of this Agreement. The Sponsor shall make the Clinical Investigation Plan available to the Principal Investigator and provide evidence of the approvals set out in Clause 4.6 and the Principal Investigator shall include such documents in the Investigator Site File.

Upon termination or expiry of this Agreement the disposal or return of Investigational Medical Devices supplied by or on behalf of the Sponsor for the purposes of the Clinical Investigation shall be managed in accordance with the Clinical Investigation Plan or otherwise in accordance with the Sponsor’s reasonable written instructions. Subject to the Trial Site’s and the Principal Investigator’s overriding obligations in relation to Clinical Investigation Participants and individual patient care, the Trial Site shall ensure that neither it nor the Principal Investigator, nor the Personnel shall during the term of this Agreement conduct any other Research that might hinder the Trial Site’s or Principal Investigator’s ability to enrol and study the required cohort of Clinical Investigation Participants. The Trial Site shall use its best endeavours to ensure that the Principal Investigator enrols / randomises a minimum of [INSERT NUMBER] Clinical Investigation Participant(s), to participate in the Clinical Investigation and the Parties shall conduct the Clinical Investigation in accordance with the Timelines. In the event that the Clinical Investigation is part of a Multi-Centre Investigation, the Sponsor may amend the number of Clinical Investigation Participants to be enrolled pursuant to the Clinical Investigation Plan as follows: If, in the reasonable opinion of the Sponsor, enrolment of the Clinical Investigation Participants at the Trial Site is proceeding at a rate below that required to enable the Timelines to be met, and upon the Sponsor’s request to increase the enrolment rate, the Trial Site is unable to comply, the Sponsor may by reasonable notice to the Trial Site, require the Trial Site to cease enrolment of Clinical Investigation Participants. If, with respect of the Clinical Investigation, the global enrolment target has been reached, upon receipt of a notice, the Trial Site shall ensure that the Principal Investigator shall immediately stop the enrolment of Clinical Investigation Participants and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not apply to individuals who at the time of receipt of such notice have not given informed consent (where required) and have not been enrolled in the Clinical Investigation. Payments shall be made according to the number of Clinical Investigation Participants enrolled up to the date of receipt of the notice. If enrolment of Clinical Investigation Participants is proceeding at a rate above that which is required to meet the Timelines, the Sponsor may, with the written agreement of the Trial Site, increase the number of Clinical Investigation Participants to be enrolled at the Investigator Site and the payment to be made will be adjusted in accordance with Clause 16.2. The Trial Site will enter into (a) Hub and Spoke Agreement(s) with Other Trial Site(s), whose Clinical Investigation related activities are to be overseen by the Principal Investigator (such Other Trial Site(s) to have been agreed to in advance by the Sponsor) to ensure that all such Other Trial Site(s) abide by the relevant terms of this Agreement as if they were a party to it. The addition of such Other Trial Site(s) will be recorded via a variation to this Agreement.

Upon termination or expiry of this Agreement the disposal or return of Investigational Medical Devices supplied by or on behalf of the Sponsor for the purposes of the Clinical Investigation shall be managed in accordance with the Clinical Investigation Plan or otherwise in accordance with the Sponsor’s reasonable written instructions. Subject to the Trial Site’s and the Principal Investigator’s overriding obligations in relation to Clinical Investigation Participants and individual patient care, the Trial Site shall ensure that neither it nor the Principal Investigator, nor the Personnel shall during the term of this Agreement conduct any other Research that might hinder the Trial Site’s or Principal Investigator’s ability to enrol and study the required cohort of Clinical Investigation Participants. The Trial Site shall use its best endeavours to ensure that the Principal Investigator enrols / randomises (DELETE OPTIONS NOT APPLICABLE) (a minimum of of) (DELETE IF NOT APPLICABLE) [INSERT NUMBER] Clinical Investigation Participant(s), to participate in the Clinical Investigation and the Parties shall conduct the Clinical Investigation in accordance with the Timelines. In the event that the Clinical Investigation is part of a Multi-Centre Investigation, the Sponsor may amend the number of Clinical Investigation Participants to be enrolled pursuant to the Clinical Investigation Plan as follows: If, in the reasonable opinion of the Sponsor, enrolment of the Clinical Investigation Participants at the Trial Site is proceeding at a rate below that required to enable the Timelines to be met, and upon the Sponsor’s request to increase the enrolment rate, the Trial Site is unable to comply, the Sponsor may by reasonable notice to the Trial Site, require the Trial Site to cease enrolment of Clinical Investigation Participants. If, with respect of the Clinical Investigation, the global enrolment target has been reached, upon receipt of a notice, the Trial Site shall ensure that the Principal Investigator shall immediately stop the enrolment of Clinical Investigation Participants and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not apply to individuals who at the time of receipt of such notice have not given informed consent (where required) and have not been enrolled in the Clinical Investigation.
