Change Control Procedure 34.1 In the event that either Party desires any change the terms of this Agreement or any Contract which may materially impact on the timings, scope, Specification or Charges of the Goods or Services, or the scope of either parties’ obligations under this Agreement or the relevant Contract, or which the relevant Party otherwise reasonably determines warrants the use of this change control procedure, the following procedures will apply:
(a) the Party requesting the change will deliver a “Change Request” (in the form (or substantially in the same form) contained in Schedule 5 to this Agreement) which describes:
(i) the nature of the change;
(ii) the reason for the change;
(iii) the effect that the requested change will have on the scope or Specification for the Goods or Services; and
(iv) any change to the Charges and the Term.
(b) Upon receipt of a Change Request, the receiving Party’s authorised representative will contact his/ her counterpart within 5 working days to discuss and agree the Change Request. The parties will negotiate the proposed changes to the Agreement and/or affected Contract in good faith and agree a timeline in which to finalise the Change Notice.
(c) Neither party is obliged to agree to a Change Request, but if the parties do agree to implement such a Change Request, the appropriate authorised representatives of both parties will sign the Change Request which will be effective from the date set out in the Change Request.
(d) If there is any conflict between the terms and conditions set out in the Agreement or any Contract and the Change Request, then the terms and conditions set out in the most recent fully executed Change Request will apply.
(e) The Supplier shall neither be relieved of its obligations to supply the Goods and/or Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any Contract, nor be entitled to an increase in the Charges as the result of:
(i) a General Change in Law; or
(ii) a Specific Change in Law where the effect of that Specific Change in Law on the Goods and/or Services is reasonably foreseeable at the Commencement Date of this Agreement, or, where the Change Request relates to a Contract, the applicable Contract Commencement Date.
34.2 The Parties agree that any variations to the Agreement or any Contract to reflect non- material changes (including for example a change to the name/contact details of a Party’s representative) may be agreed in writing and shall not be required to be made in accordance with the procedure in this clause 34, provided always that UKRI shall, in their absolute discretion, decide whether a proposed change is non-material for these purposes.

AMENDMENT AND CHANGE CONTROL Any amendment or change of any nature made to this Agreement and the Schedule of Requirements thereof shall only be valid if it is in writing, signed by both Parties and added to this Agreement as an addendum hereto. In this regard a Change Notice must first be defined and issued by the requesting Party. A Change Notice Response must then be issued by responding Party. A formal approval of the Change Request will then trigger the issue of the addendum to this Agreement.
Termination Following Change in Control In the event of the occurrence of Constructive Termination within twelve (12) months after the effective date of a Change in Control, Employee may, at Employee's option, terminate Employee's employment due to Constructive Termination unless Employee has entered into an employment agreement with Successor. Such termination shall be effective upon Employee giving notice to Successor. In the event of termination of Employee's employment (1) by Successor within twelve (12) months after the effective date of a Change of Control, or (2) by Employee within twelve (12) months after the effective date of a Change of Control as a result of a Constructive Termination, then (a) Successor shall pay Employee a lump sum cash payment equal to the Severance Amount within 10 business days after the termination of employment; (b) Successor shall make available to Employee, at Employee's cost and expense, medical and other insurance coverage at a level and to the extent required by COBRA; and (c) any outstanding options held by Employee that remain unvested as of the date of termination shall become fully vested and exercisable as of the date of termination of Employee's employment with Successor and prior to the occurrence of an event otherwise terminating the options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any payments under this Section 2 will be deemed to constitute an "excess parachute payment" as defined in Section 280G(b)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (an "Excess Parachute Payment"), then the payments to Employee under this Section 2 shall be limited to an amount equal to the maximum amount that could be paid to Employee so that no such amount, along with all other payments to Employee by Successor, will be deemed to constitute an Excess Parachute Payment. Subject to the terms of this Section 2, Employee shall not be entitled to receive any other compensation or benefits under this Agreement as a result of the termination of Employee's employment following a Change of Control or Constructive Termination.

In the event that such Change in Control does not occur on the Proposed Prepayment Date in respect thereof, the prepayment shall be deferred until and shall be made on the date on which such Change in Control occurs. The Company shall keep each holder of Notes reasonably and timely informed of (i) any such deferral of the date of prepayment, (ii) the date on which such Change in Control and the prepayment are expected to occur, and (iii) any determination by the Company that efforts to effect such Change in Control have ceased or been abandoned (in which case the offers and acceptances made pursuant to this Section 8.7 in respect of such Change in Control shall be deemed rescinded).
