3.2 Limitations on Obligations In Light of Available Personnel. The parties acknowledge that, in accordance with the Development Plan and payment schedule attached hereto as Exhibit B, TGC has a limited number of personnel to perform its obligations hereunder [*]. Accordingly, TGC’s obligations under Section 3.1 shall be limited to the extent of what can reasonably be accomplished by the anticipated personnel and staffing (working solely on the
| 4. | *Confidential Treatment Requested. |
obligations under this Agreement) during the Term. Celladon shall designate the Celladon Designees who will receive the Technology Transfer reasonably promptly after the Amendment Date, and in any event within such time so that TGC, using Commercially Reasonable Efforts and in accordance with the Development Plan, can reasonably be expected to complete the Technology Transfer as contemplated in the Development Plan [*]. TGC is not responsible or liable for any delays or failure to complete the Technology Transfer due to (a) Celladon’s failure to provide timely designation of the Celladon Designees as described above, or (b) the inexperience of, or excessive need for consultation by, any Celladon Designee.
3.3 Disclosure and Use of Technology Transfer. All Information provided or disclosed to Celladon under the Technology Transfer (or otherwise under Section 3.1) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.2(d) of the License Agreement (“Disclosure and Use of Released Materials”) and shall be deemed part of the “TGC Manufacturing Information” thereunder with respect to the application of such Section 2.2(d).

Any use of the term “transfer” or similar terms herein (including in any exhibit hereto) shall be construed accordingly and not as an assignment or sale. For the avoidance of doubt, TGC is entitled to retain and use copies and/or originals of such Information (subject to the exclusive license granted to Celladon under the License Agreement), and nothing herein restricts TGC (or its Affiliates or licensees) from utilizing any Celladon Designee and/or such Information to manufacture or test products (subject to the exclusive license granted to Celladon under the License Agreement). Furthermore, Celladon shall not restrict, and shall otherwise permit, any Celladon Designee’s use of such Information for the benefit of TGC (and the disclosure of such Information to TGC for use by TGC) within the scope of TGC’s retained rights pursuant to the License Agreement and the scope of the licenses granted by Celladon to TGC pursuant to the License Agreement.
3.5 Restrictions on Release and Disclosure. TGC’s obligations with respect to release and disclosure of Information under this Agreement (including, without limitation, under the Technology Transfer) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.2(f) of the License Agreement.

Should the parties, in their sole discretion, mutually agree in writing to extend the Term and/or the scope of the Development Plan and/or the Technology Transfer, additional payments to TGC therefore would have to be negotiated and agreed to in connection therewith. TGC acknowledges receipt, prior to the Amendment Date, of [*] (which includes the [*]) of such [*].
(b) Of the [*] paid to TGC prior to the Amendment Date as described in Section 5.1(a), TGC agrees to hold and disburse [*] (the “[*]”) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5.1(b) and in the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “[*] Schedule”). For the avoidance of confusion, TGC will not use the [*] for any purpose whatsoever other than as set forth in this Section 5.1(b) and the [*] Schedule (and TGC shall disburse such [*] solely in accordance with the [*] Schedule during the Term). At the end of the Term of this Agreement (or such later date as may be agreed by the parties in writing), any portion of the [*] that has not been disbursed in accordance with the [*] Schedule as of such date may be retained by TGC without any restriction on the further use thereof.
(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that if the final reconciliation of total actual costs of outside services and materials contemplated by Exhibit B hereto indicates that such costs are less than [*], then TGC shall refund the difference to Celladon within 10 days
| 6. | *Confidential Treatment Requested. |
after completion of such reconciliation. Conversely, if such reconciliation reveals that such actual costs exceed [*], Celladon shall pay such excess either directly to the applicable vendor(s) or through a change order with TGC.
5.2 Payment in U.S. Dollars. All payments hereunder shall be payable in U.S. dollars.
5.3 Taxes. TGC will pay any and all taxes levied on TGC on account of any payments made to it under this Agreement.
