The Parties agree that the terms in this Article 10 apply generally to this Agreement, and that the terms may be modified in any SOW issued under this Agreement by mutual agreement of the Parties.

The Government may, under a separate agreement or by modification to this Agreement, obtain any rights to use or disclose the Awardee’s material or data to the extent that such material or data was produced outside the scope of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, as a result of this Agreement, the Government shall obtain “Unlimited rights,” as this term is defined in DFARS 252.227–7013(a)(16) specific to any Study Data generated under, and as a result of this Agreement.

Any rights that the Awardee or the Government may have in Study Data delivered under this Agreement, whether arising under this Agreement or otherwise, will not be affected by Awardee’s failure to mark data pursuant to this Article.
