definiens: means, with respect to any Collaboration Hit, the earliest to occur of:(a ) the initiation of a large - scale transformation of Germplasm of one or more [COMPANY] Crops with DNAcomprising any Collaboration Hit Homolog of such Collaboration Hit, such transformation being conducted in amanner so as to generate a sufficient number of Events that there is a reasonable likelihood that a sufficientnumber of commercially viable Events will be generated to allow selection of a suitably efficacious Event forproduction of Products . Such large - scale transformation shall not occur prior to the initiation of [ * * * ] of the sameEvent following a [ * * * ] of such Event for which there was observed a statistically significant level of desiredTrait performance in multi - location field trials with [ * * * ] seen when compared to the appropriate non - transgeniccontrols ; or(b ) [ * * * ] containing any Collaboration Hit Homolog of such Collaboration Hit, following a [ * * * ] of the sameEvent for which there was observed a statistically - significant level of desired Trait performance in multi - locationfield trials with [ * * * ] seen when compared to the appropriate non - transgenic controls
