Moreover, if external events of force majeure compromise the economic interest of the program receiving financial aid, or if fundamental changes occur in the status or control of the BENEFICIARY as referred to in the article entitled “SHARE CAPITAL CONTROL AND STATUS OF THE BENEFICIARY”, the situation thus created will be examined by Bpifrance Financement, which may amend the initial decisions, which the BENEFICIARY expressly accepts.
5.

The technical-economical failure can occur either in the feasibility phase or in the development phase.
2. The BENEFICIARY may request a report of technical-economic failure or partial technical-economic success of the program to Bpifrance Financement. Any financial difficulties of the BENEFICIARY shall not constitute a ground for requesting a report of technical-economic failure or partial technical-economic success of the program.

7. In the absence of a request for a technical-economic failure report or a partial technical-economic success report accompanied by the supporting documents listed in the SPECIAL PROVISIONS before the end date of the repayment deferral as set out in the SPECIAL PROVISIONS, Bpifrance Financement and the BENEFICIARY agree on the total technical success of the program.

The immediate refund will be due, if Bpifrance Financement requires it and without the need for any judicial or extrajudicial formalities, the sum to be paid shall then be equal to the undue payment and increased, if applicable, by the late payment penalties at the rate set out in the article LATE PAYMENT PENALTIES.
