summarize chemical routes used.
The Project activity will last for a minimum of 3 months, this being the duration of Module 1,
unless terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
[†]
[†]
Each subsequent “Module” shall be undertaken only upon mutual agreement in advance, including a
monetary value computed in accordance with Schedule B, by a Module Schedule setting out the
details, expected duration and deliverables (template at Schedule C). Each Module Schedule shall
be signed by an authorised official of each party, preferably before the end of the current Module,
but in any event before commencement of that subsequent Module for which fees will be paid by
Omeros.
Unless otherwise agreed between Omeros and Scottish Biomedical, should there be any gap of greater
than thirty (30) days between (i) Omeros’ receipt from Scottish Biomedical and [†] of all final
data, compounds and derivatives deliverable for any module and (ii) Omeros’ execution of a Services
and Materials Module (Schedule C) authorizing the commencement of the next module, then Scottish
Biomedical reserves the right to re-state timescales and re-allocate / change the personnel it
allocates to Omeros’ work, depending on its other resource and business requirements. Any changes
of personnel shall be with scientists with similar skill levels.
