CAT will promptly notify Micromet and Enzon of any modification or amendment to the [***] License Agreement and deliver to Micromet a redacted copy of any such amended agreement.
     The restrictions set out in this Agreement relating to the Excluded Field or Research Products set forth above (as the case may be) will, subject to any other restrictions on CAT and to the provisions of this Agreement, cease to apply from the date of removal of such restriction pursuant to the terms of the foregoing agreements.

If Enzon accepts such additional Know-How, then such Know-How will be deemed Enzon Supplemental Know-How and this Agreement will be amended to reflect such addition in accordance with Section 11.5 (but without the need for the consent of Micromet).
           2.3.2 Within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, Micromet will disclose in writing and deliver to CAT all Consolidated Know-How.
