Provided, however, that should AstraZeneca despite Commercially Reasonable Efforts not be able to identify a manufacturer to produce Phase II b Materials in sufficient quantity and quality in compliance with AstraZeneca’s internal processes, AstraZeneca shall inform Dynavax thereof and thereby be relieved from this undertaking.

Should AstraZeneca have identified an appropriate manufacturer for the purpose of manufacturing the Phase II b Materials but not placed an Order within one hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of notification by Dynavax of its request for an Order to be placed, AstraZeneca shall be deemed to have served notice under Section 20.2 of its determination not to pursue the Development of AZD1419.”
