If a Party has issued a Notice of Potential Opt-Out for a Development Candidate and subsequently terminates the Section 3.2 process with respect to such Development Candidate pursuant to Section 3.2(c)(1), such Party will be permitted to provide, during the period ​ with respect to such Development Candidate pursuant to Section 3.2(c)(1) and ending ​ after the ​ for such Development Candidate, a second written notice of its potential interest to opt-out of further Development and Commercialization of such Development Candidate and associated Product to the other Party (“Second Notice of Opt-Out”).

If a Party provides a Late Stage Opt-Out Notice with respect to a Development Candidate within the time required therefor as provided in this Section 3.2(c), the Party providing the Late Stage Opt-Out Notice will automatically be deemed an Opt-Out Party and will opt out of further Development and Commercialization of the Development Candidate and associated Product effective as of the date of delivery of such Late Stage Opt-Out Notice and the Continuing Party will have the right to Research, Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize such Development Candidate and associated Product as a Reversion Product independently or under a sublicense to a Third Party in the Territory in accordance with this Section 3.3.
