(d) If Assignor does not give an SP Notice to Assignee on or before May 16, 1997, or if Assignee gives an Assignee Acceptance Notice to Assignor in accordance with subsection (c) hereof, neither Assignor nor Assignee shall thereafter have any right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 15(c).
