|
A determination by a governmental agency that the device will require clinical trials that reasonably cannot be completed before the milestone is reached;

Adverse events or other clinical results suggesting a change in design or manufacture.

Except with respect to the occurrence of the events set forth in either 4 or 6 above, in the event of failure to meet the milestones for “good reason”, Licensee and Licensor will negotiate in good faith to amend the milestones, taking into account the “good reason” event that has occurred, in order to establish a revised set of commercially reasonable milestones and timeframes to be met by Licensee going forward.
In the event that: (i) a challenge, claim, suit interference to the Patent Rights that raises a significant commercial risk unless resolved, or is incapable of being resolved, or (ii) the revelation of facts concerning the state of development of the device, the clinical or biological results pertaining thereto, the ownership of the device or other significant facts bearing on the commercial viability of the device, which are contrary to or in conflict with the statements and/or representations of the Licensor or its agents concerning the device, Licensee will have the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.3.
