6.2 Termination by Licensee. Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time upon written notice.

6.3 Termination for Material Breach. Subject to Licensee’s right to rebut a presumption that Licensee is in breach of its diligence obligations set forth in Section 3.1, a Party (“non-breaching party”) shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in the event the other Party (“breaching party”) is in material breach of any of its material obligations under this Agreement. The non-breaching party shall provide written notice to the breaching party. The breaching party shall have a period of 30 days after such written notice to cure such breach, or to provide a timeline to cure such breach to the satisfaction of the non-breaching party. If such breach is not cured within the 30 day period or in accordance with the timeline, this Agreement shall effectively terminate.
