6. Model Framework for Initiating New Project

From time to time BiOS LICENSEE may have interest in exploring solutions to certain problems in its field of business. In such case BiOS LICENSEE shall send a written project proposal to CAMBIA. To the extent that such project proposal is consistent with the terms and intent of the BIOS License, which consistency shall be determined by CAMBIA in its sole discretion, CAMBIA shall use its best efforts to

1. employ the Services to bring the proposal to the attention of other parties within the BIOS Initiative which may be interested to join such exploratory effort, and
2. employ the Services to collect, identify and provide potential means that may be available from among parties within CAMBIA's Protected Commons website (BioForge) for such solution, which may include suggested research schedules, development time-lines, and costs.

CAMBIA, BiOS LICENSEE and potential other interested BiOS Licensees shall then have the option to enter into good-faith negotiations for such project that may involve other BiOS LICENSEE contributions (monetary or in-kind) to support innovation within CAMBIA's Protected Commons (BioForge). The PARTIES agree that all outcomes of such project will be treated as Licensed Patents and shall be readily accessible under the same terms as this Agreement and the associated BiOS License Agreement among the BiOS Licensees.
