Agreement Negotiated The Members are sophisticated and have been represented by lawyers throughout the negotiation and execution of this Agreement who have carefully negotiated the provisions hereof. As a consequence, the parties do not believe the presumption of California Civil Code Section 1654 and similar laws or rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause should be applied in this case and therefore waive its effects.
Joint Negotiation The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, the parties intend that this Agreement be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and that no presumption or burden of proof arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
Contract Negotiations Where operational requirements permit, and on reasonable notice, the Employer shall grant special leave with pay for not more than two (2) representatives of each bargaining unit for the purpose of attending contract negotiation meetings with the Employer on behalf of the Union. Such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld.
No Negotiation Until such time, if any, as this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9, Sellers will not, and will cause each Acquired Company and each of their Representatives not to, directly or indirectly solicit, initiate, or encourage any inquiries or proposals from, discuss or negotiate with, provide any non-public information to, or consider the merits of any unsolicited inquiries or proposals from, any Person (other than Buyer) relating to any transaction involving the sale of the business or assets (other than in the Ordinary Course of Business) of any Acquired Company, or any of the capital stock of any Acquired Company, or any merger, consolidation, business combination, or similar transaction involving any Acquired Company.

Right of Negotiation (i) If Voyager or any Affiliate, successor, assign thereof decides not to Exploit the Product for any reason, including any such decision by Voyager following a decision by a licensee of Voyager to abandon its rights under a license from Voyager, (which Voyager shall promptly notify DURECT in writing as soon as practicable but no later than thirty (30) days after such decision) or (ii) if DURECT shall have terminated the Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2(c)(ii), DURECT shall have a right of first negotiation to obtain from Voyager an exclusive license, with the right to sublicense, under the Voyager Patents and Project Information and Inventions, and the right to use all regulatory filings, Clinical Trial data and CMC data and all other intellectual property owned by Voyager, in each case to the extent solely related to the Product, and the right to cross-reference any and all regulatory filings with respect to the Product, solely for purposes of Exploiting the Product. No later than twenty (20) days after DURECT's receipt of notice from Voyager under (i) above or the effective date of termination under (ii) above, DURECT shall notify Voyager whether it wishes to exercise its right of first negotiation. If DURECT notifies Voyager that its wishes to exercise its right of first negotiation, then Voyager shall allow DURECT to conduct reasonable diligence including providing to DURECT all information as reasonably requested by DURECT, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a definitive agreement covering such license to DURECT for a period not to exceed 180 days from the date of DURECT's notice of exercise. In the event that the Parties have not executed a definitive agreement within such 180-day period, then Voyager shall have no further obligations to DURECT. Prior to the exhaustion of DURECT's right under this Section 8.7, Voyager may not offer nor negotiate with any third Person any license or assignment of subject matter covered by this right of negotiation.
