Prior Negotiations This Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof.
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.
