Subject to the foregoing, failure by LICENSEE to achieve any of the diligence obligations under this Article 7 will result in LICENSORS in their sole discretion having the option of terminating all of the exclusive licenses granted under Article 3, in accordance with Article 18 of this Agreement, or converting any or all of such exclusive licenses to nonexclusive licenses; provided that prior to any such termination, LICENSORS, at LICENSEE’s request, shall negotiate in good faith for at least [***] days regarding amendment of this Agreement and maintaining the exclusive licenses granted to LICENSEE.

Demonstration of such commercially reasonable efforts shall include, but not be limited to:
