This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date (with respect to Sections 17.1(b) and 17.1(c) below, by written notice by the terminating Party to the other Party): (a) by mutual written agreement of the Parties;
(b) by Licensor or Licensee, if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority shall have issued a non-appealable final order, decree or ruling or taken any other non-appealable final action, in each case, having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 17.1(b) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or materially contributed to, such action; or
(c) by Licensee, if Licensor has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Licensor set forth in this Agreement which (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 13.2 and (ii) is not cured within thirty (30) calendar days after written notice thereof.
17.2 Term.
Except as provided in Section 17.1, this Agreement shall continue until the date of expiration of the Royalty Term, unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Article 17 (the “Term”).
17.3 Termination of the Agreement After the Closing Date.
(a) Termination by Licensee.
Licensee may terminate this Agreement in its entirety or in part (including, for example, on a country-by-country basis) for any reason (a) upon at least ninety (90) days prior written notice to Licensor if such notice is delivered prior to the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product anywhere in the Territory or (b) upon at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice to Licensor if such notice is delivered after the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product anywhere in the Territory. In the event of any significant adverse clinical events or the termination of a Clinical Trial for safety reasons and Licensee terminates this Agreement under this Section 17.3(a), the foregoing notice periods in clauses (a) and (b) shall be reduced to forty-five (45) days and ninety (90) days, respectively.

Such sixty (60) day period shall be extended in the case of a breach not capable of being remedied in such sixty (60) day period so long as the breaching Party uses diligent efforts to remedy such breach and is pursuing a course of action that, if successful, will effect such a remedy; provided, however, that such cure period shall not be extended more than sixty (60) additional days.
If such alleged breach is not remedied or is not capable of being remedied within the period set forth above, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled, without prejudice to any of its other rights conferred on it by this Agreement, and in addition to any other remedies available to it by law or in equity, to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other Party. In the event of a dispute regarding any payments due and owing hereunder, all undisputed amounts shall be paid when due and the balance, if any, shall be paid promptly after settlement of the dispute including any accrued interest thereon.
