Common use of RECIPIENT Opt-Out Clause in Contracts

RECIPIENT Opt-Out. In the event RECIPIENT determines, after diligently attempting to comply with the terms of Section D3.02, to cease its efforts, either directly or through a licensee, to commercialize or otherwise bring to practical application the Project Results, it will so notify the INSTITUTE in writing promptly thereafter. Such written notice must identify the Project Results and provide a reasonable explanation of the reasons for the RECIPIENT’s election. Upon receipt of such notice, the INSTITUTE and RECIPIENT shall meet within thirty (30) days to review the Project Results and rationale for the RECIPIENT’s election. Provided that RECIPIENT’s determination to cease its efforts was not based on material safety concerns related to the Project Results, the INSTITUTE and RECIPIENT shall engage in good faith negotiations regarding an alternative commercialization strategy and/or revenue sharing approach. The INSTITUTE and RECIPIENT may consider, among other options, an award of equity in the RECIPIENT, expansion or modification of the Institute Funded Activity to cover other commercial products or commercial services being advanced by the RECIPIENT, or some combination thereof. Unless otherwise agreed, if the INSTITUTE and RECIPIENT are unable to achieve an alternative strategy or agreement within one-hundred and eighty (180) days of the RECIPIENT’s initial notice of election, and provided that RECIPIENT’s determination to cease its efforts was not based on material safety concerns related to the Project Results, the INSTITUTE shall have the right, but not the obligation, to exercise its rights in Section D5.01 in relation to the Project Results at the INSTITUTE’s expense.
