March-in Rights The Performer agrees that, with respect to any subject invention in which it has retained title, DARPA has the right to require the Performer, an assignee, or exclusive licensee of a subject invention to grant a non-exclusive license to a responsible applicant or applicants, upon terms that are reasonable under the circumstances, and if the Performer, assignee, or exclusive licensee refuses such a request, DARPA has the right to grant such a license itself if DARPA determines that:
1. Such action is necessary because the Performer or assignee has not taken effective steps, consistent with the intent of this Agreement, to achieve practical application of the subject invention;
2. Such action is necessary to alleviate health or safety needs which are not reasonably satisfied by the Performer, assignee, or their licensees;
3. Such action is necessary to meet requirements for public use and such requirements are not reasonably satisfied by the Performer, assignee, or licensees; or

Step-In Rights 11.1 Without prejudice to the provisions of Schedule 4 (Performance Management) or to any remedy that the Authority may have (whether under this Agreement or otherwise):
11.1.1 where the Authority reasonably believes that the Operator’s failure to provide any part of the Services to the relevant Service Level or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement has an adverse, material impact on the business of the Authority or on the running of the Scheme;
11.1.2 where the Authority reasonably believes that the Operator is about to commit such a failure which, if committed, would have such an impact;
11.1.3 where the Authority considers it necessary in order to carry out any of its statutory obligations, functions or other duties;
11.1.4 on the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event; or
11.1.5 on the occurrence of an Insolvency Event in respect of the Operator, the Authority may, by giving such written notice to the Operator as the Authority considers reasonable in the circumstances, exercise its right under Clause 11.2.
11.2 In the circumstances set out in Clause 11.1 the Authority may make arrangements for the Authority to provide and perform itself or through another contractor, such part of the Services as it decides in its discretion. Where any failure on the Operator's part is, in the reasonable opinion of the Authority, due to the failure of the Operator's management or supervisory staff to perform their work adequately or at all, or is due to the absence or insufficiency of such staff, the Authority may cause the relevant Services to be managed and supervised by the Authority's own staff, or the staff of another contractor and the Operator shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder insofar as they relate directly to the Services removed from its control and only during the period the Services are removed from its control.
11.3 Where the Authority exercises its right pursuant to Clause 11.2, the Operator shall:-
11.3.1 provide the Authority and Authority Personnel such access as is necessary for the Authority to exercise its right;
11.3.2 grant and procure that any Sub-Contractor or relevant third party grants the Authority such licences as are reasonably required (for itself or a contractor appointed to perform the step-in services) for the purposes of the Authority exercising its right;
11.3.3 afford (and procure that its Sub-Contractors afford) to the Authority (and any contractor appointed to perform the step-in services) such co-operation and access to any of the Operator's Intellectual Property, the Third Party Intellectual Property, Operator systems, premises, equipment, documents, information or other items as are reasonably required for the purposes of exercising its right; and
11.3.4 reimburse the Authority for any Losses incurred in taking the actions described in Clause 11.2.
Stock Rights In the event of a Change in Control, all restricted Company stock and all options, stock appreciation rights, and/or other stock rights held by Executive with respect to Company stock that are exempt from Section 409A (“Stock Rights”) which are not fully vested (and exercisable, if applicable) shall become fully vested and exercisable as of a time established by the Board, which shall be no later than a time preceding the Change in Control which allows Executive to exercise the Stock Rights and cause the stock acquired thereby to participate in the Change in Control transaction. If the Change in Control transaction is structured so that stock participating therein at one time is or may be treated differently from stock participating therein at a different time (e.g., a tender offer followed by a squeeze-out merger), the Board shall interpret this Subsection (d) to provide for the required vesting acceleration in a manner designed to allow Executive to exercise the Stock Rights and cause the stock acquired thereby to participate in the earliest portion of the Change in Control transaction. If the consummation of a Change in Control transaction is uncertain (e.g., a tender offer in which the tender of a minimum number of shares is a condition to closing, or a voted merger or proxy contest in which a minimum number of votes is a condition to closing), the Board shall apply this Subsection (d) by using its best efforts to determine if and when the Change in Control transaction is likely to close, and proceeding accordingly. To the extent necessary to implement this Subsection d), each agreement reflecting a Stock Right, and each plan, if any, pursuant to which a Stock Right is issued, if any, shall be deemed amended.
Other Contractual Rights Nothing contained in this Article shall affect any right to indemnification to which Persons other than Trustees and officers of the Trust or any subsidiary thereof may be entitled by contract or otherwise.
