Furthermore, ERBA may terminate the License Agreement at any time after the first anniversary of the Effective Date and prior to the earlier of the Transfer Date and the Share Threshold Date: (a) upon providing the Company one hundred eighty (180) days prior written notice of its intent to terminate and the date upon which the License Agreement shall terminate; or (b) upon providing the Company thirty (30) days prior written notice of any breach of the License Agreement by the Company, which breach remains uncured at the end of such thirty (30) day period.
