and that there are no changes to any applicable laws, rules or regulations that
affect the Production Campaign (the foregoing assumptions together with the
Program Assumptions, collectively, the "Assumptions"). In the event that any of
the Assumptions require modification or the Production Campaign objectives
cannot be achieved based on the Assumptions or Cytogen requests additional
services (each being, a "Modification") then the scope of services may be
amended as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 6.
(b) In the event a Modification is identified by Cytogen or by
