Version 1.2.3, March 2016
RESOURCE - Project Agreement, version V1 08-05-2018

4.2. Breach

         In the event that the Project Assembly identifies a breach by a Party of its obligations
         under this Project Agreement (e.g. improper implementation of the Project), the Project
         Lead or, if the Project Lead is in breach of its obligations, the Party appointed by the

         8.4.2.2. An objection is justified if:
         (a) the protection of the objecting Party's Results or Background would be adversely
         affected
         (b) the objecting Party's legitimate interests in relation to the Results or Background would
         be significantly harmed.

         The objection has to include a precise request for necessary modifications.

         8.4.2.3. If an objection has been raised the involved Parties shall discuss how to overcome
         the justified grounds for the objection on a timely basis (for example by amendment to the
         planned publication and/or by protecting information before publication) and the objecting
         Party shall not unreasonably continue the opposition if appropriate measures are taken
