All applications for the use of Data are judged independently by the LHA Data Sharing Committee and pursuant nothing in this Agreement should be taken as awarding any priority or preferential treatment to the schedule set forth in Appendix B, will be refundable; and (ii) the Company shall be responsible for the payment of any accrued fees and expenses due to Yissum based on work duly performed up to the date of termination and those irrevocable commitments that were part of the Research Budget and entered into by Yissum prior to having received the Company’s written notice of termination. 2.3. For the avoidance of doubt, should the Company wish to place its employees in the laboratories of the Researcher on any campus of the University in connection with the Research or any other aspect of this Agreement it may do so after executing a separate agreement with Yissum setting out the terms of such placement. 2.4. As compensation to Yissum for the performance of the Subsequent Research Program, subject to any earlier termination of the Subsequent Research Program pursuant to Section 2.2 above, the Company shall pay Yissum the total sum of (*******************) as follows: (i) the first installment shall be paid on the Effective Date; (ii) the second installment shall be paid within three (3) months of the Effective Date; and (iii) the third installment shall be paid within six (6 months of the Effective Date (iv) the fourth installment shall be paid within nine (9) months of the Effective Date; (v) the fifth installment shall be paid within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date; and (vi) the sixth installment shall be paid within fifteen (15) months of the Effective Date. 2.5. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) the Researcher(s) may, where reasonably necessary or appropriate during the Subsequent Research Period, reallocate the Research Fee among the various expense categories set forth in the Subsequent Research Budget in Appendix B; and (b) nothing herein shall prevent Yissum or the University or the Researcher from obtaining any finance or grants from other entities for research regarding the Licensed Technology, provided that such entities shall not be granted rights in the Research or Research Results prejudicial to the rights granted to the Company in this AgreementInstitution. The results of any such research financed LHA Data Sharing Committee reserves the right to prioritise applications where necessary. Proposed projects that will incur significant extra work by other entities shall not form part of the Licensed Technology and shall not LHA staff may be subject to a charge to cover the License hereunder. 2.6. Within sixty (60) days of the end of each six (6) months of the Subsequent Research Program, Yissum shall present the Company with a written report from the Researcher summarizing the results of the Research during the preceding period. 2.7. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as a warranty on the part of Yissum that any results or inventions will be achieved additional costs incurred by the Research, or that the Research Results, if any, are or will be commercially exploitable. Yissum makes no warranties whatsoever as to the commercial or scientific value of the Research Results 2.8. Should the Company choose to (a) retain the services of the Researcher or any other employee of the University in connection with the Research or the License; or (b) grant any benefit, including cash payments or securities of any kind, to the Researcher or any other employee of the University, it shall do so only through a written agreement executed between the Company and YissumLHA. Any such agreement will require, among other things, that any intellectual property rights generated under such agreement costs will be notified in advance. When the LHA Data Sharing Committee approves a proposal it will recommend the level of collaboration required with the NSHD Study Team. The collaboration required takes into account the quality, sensitivity or amount of data/meta-data requested, the extent of biomedical data requested, and the scientific investments of the NSHD Study Team and their key specialist collaborators. A NSHD co-ordinator may be assigned, at UCL’s sole discretion, to a research project by the LHA Data Sharing Committee. Facilitated collaborations between the external researcher and the NSHD Study Team are encouraged. This means that a NSHD co-ordinator (either from the study team or one of their key expert collaborators) is assigned to help the external scientist make the best use of the Data, advise on interpretation of a specialist database, or supervise the use of sensitive or restricted data. Facilitated collaborations may be required in the following circumstances and may involve additional conditions for use of the data: this list is indicative rather than exhaustive. Proposals that require access to a specialist database created by a key collaborator or have required significant investments in time by the study team. Proposals that require access to sensitive data. Sensitive data include, but are not limited to, the cause and date of death of a study member, data on residential or emigration history, and medical and other information with small cell counts (e.g. hospital admissions, or illnesses). Proposals requiring access to data or meta-data that have not yet been through the vigorous quality assurances protocols that are in place and will require a significant amount of time to check and/or clean. Proposals requiring access to extensive biomedical data or that significantly overlap with the current scientific programmes of the NSHD Study Team. This Agreement covers all proposed data sharing ranging from full collaborations to independent projects with little involvement of the NSHD Study Team Data Supply UCL will supply Data for each Approved Project as specified in Schedule 1 section 9. UCL will provide the Data to the Institution in the format specified in Schedule 1 section 10. This Agreement does not restrict the right of UCL to distribute the Data to third parties or to publish any document relating to the Data or to use the Data in any other way.
