· | Paragraph 7.1 is hereby amended to add a new paragraph 7.1(c) as follows: |
(c) In the case where LICENSEE has been issued a notice of default pursuant to 7.1(b) and, as a measure towards curing the default, UNIVERSITY agrees to amend the Agreement during the sixty (60)-day period after said notice, the conditions for termination of the Agreement by the UNIVERSITY stated in the corresponding written amendment shall govern.

F. | Within six (6) months after the Amendment #2 Date, in alignment with LICENSEE’s Report, complete the Phase 1(a) nanoscintillator development tasks (finalize SNP synthetic protocol; attach linker and payload; characterize particle stability and payload release kinetics with irradiation); and, |
G. | Provide UNIVERSITY monthly written progress reports on above items A-F (via oic- xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx) by the end of each month within the seven (7) month period after Amendment #2 Date.
