The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Research Program shall be conducted by a number of research employees of SpinCo (the “Research Team”) who will be engaged in the conduct of the Funded SpinCo Activities, including the Initial Screening Process and the Preclinical Functional Efficacy Studies with respect to Company Selected Compounds and SpinCo Selected Compounds. For clarity, in addition to the Research Team, SpinCo may have other research employees engaged in other activities on behalf of SpinCo, and any individual employee may be both part of the Research Team and also engaged in such other activities; provided that the Dedicated FTE Resource is utilized in the Research program.
