Reasonable Commercial Efforts Reasonable commercial efforts means that the obligated party is required to make a diligent, reasonable and good faith effort to accomplish the applicable objective. Such obligation, however, does not require an expenditure of funds or the incurrence of a liability on the part of the obligated party, nor does it require that the obligated party act in a manner that would be contrary to normal commercial practices in order to accomplish the objective. The fact that the objective is or is not actually accomplished is not, by itself, an indication that the obligated party did or did not in fact utilize its reasonable commercial efforts in attempting to accomplish the objective.
Development Work Do, or cause to be done, such development and other work as may be reasonably necessary to protect from diminution and production capacity of the Mortgaged Property and each producing well thereon.

Inability to Determine Interest Rates If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing,
Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods Borrower shall compensate each Lender, as promptly as practicable after written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts and shall be conclusive absent manifest error), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or calculated to be due and payable by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or deployment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrower.
Development Plan As defined in Section 3.2(a).
Patent Costs Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the licenses granted hereunder are in partial consideration for Licensee’s assumption of patent costs and expenses as described herein. Licensee agrees to pay and shall pay for all expenses referenced in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof. In addition, Licensee agrees to reimburse and shall reimburse TSRI for all patent costs and expenses previously paid or associated with Licensed Patent Rights incurred by TSRI up to the Effective Date, less any such patent costs and expenses previously reimbursed by Licensee under the Option Agreement. Licensee agrees to pay and shall pay all such past and future patent expenses associated with the work on the Licensed Patent Rights performed by TSRI’s Office of Patent Counsel and/or its independent counsel within thirty (30) days after Licensee receives an itemized invoice therefor. Failure of Licensee to pay patent costs and expenses as set forth in this Section 8.3 shall immediately relieve TSRI from its obligation to incur any further patent costs and expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, should Licensee not pay any patent costs and expenses due to TSRI or independent counsel within thirty (30) days after Licensee’s receipt of any itemized invoice therefor, TSRI shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to cease all patent prosecution and allow Licensed Patent Rights to go abandoned. Such action by TSRI shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. Payment can be made directly to independent counsel, or to TSRI. Licensee may elect with a minimum of ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to TSRI, to discontinue payment for the filing, prosecution and/or maintenance of any patent application and/or patent within Licensed Patent Rights. Licensee shall remain liable for all patent prosecution and maintenance costs incurred prior to the date of notice of election and for a ninety (90) day period following the date of such notice. Any such patent application or patent so elected shall immediately be excluded from the definition of Licensed Patent Rights and from the scope of the licenses granted under this Agreement, and all rights relating thereto shall revert to TSRI and may be freely licensed by TSRI.
Research Term The Research Program will be carried out during the two (2) year period following the Effective Date, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article 13 (such period, as may be extended pursuant to this Section 3.2, being the “Research Term”). BMS shall have the option to extend the Research Term for three (3) additional one (1) year periods on a year-by-year basis after the initial two (2) year period. At least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the scheduled expiration of the Research Term (i.e., the applicable anniversary of the Effective Date) BMS will provide Ambrx with a nonbinding, good faith indication of whether or not BMS intends to extend the Research Term. In order to exercise its option to extend the Research Term, BMS must provide Ambrx a written notice exercising BMS’ option to extend the Research Term at least ninety (90) days prior to the scheduled expiration of the Research Term (i.e., the applicable anniversary of the Effective Date). If BMS does not provide such written notice, the Research Term will end when scheduled (i.e., on the applicable anniversary of the Effective Date). For each extension of the Research Term, subject to Section 3.4, the JRC will prepare an update to the Research Plan which will include an updated Budget for the BMS-funded Ambrx FTEs to perform the work required under such Research Plan and the projected Third Party Costs.
