Termination for Patent Challenge Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement solely on a Shared Product-by-Shared Product basis upon written notice if the other Party or any of its Affiliates challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of or otherwise opposes any Patent (i) included in the Vividion Intellectual Property or Vividion Co-Co Collaboration Intellectual Property and that is licensed to Celgene under this Agreement in any action or proceeding, or (ii) included in the Celgene Intellectual Property or Celgene Co-Co Collaboration Intellectual Property that is licensed to Vividion under this Agreement in any action or proceeding (subject to the exceptions described in this Section 14.3(d), a “Challenge”) (other than as may be necessary or reasonably required to assert a defense, cross-claim or a counter-claim in an action or proceeding asserted by either Party or any of its Affiliates or Licensee Partners against the other Party or any of its Affiliates or to respond to a court request or order or administrative law, request or order) it being understood and agreed that either Party’s right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 14.3(d) shall not apply to any actions undertaken by an Affiliate of the other Party (the “Challenging Party”) that first becomes such an Affiliate as a result of a Change of Control involving the Challenging Party, where such new Affiliate was undertaking any of the activities described in the foregoing clause prior to such Change of Control; provided that a Party’s right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 14.3(d) shall apply to actions undertaken by such new Affiliate if the Challenging Party is the acquiror in such Change of Control and such new Affiliate does not terminate or otherwise cease participating in such action, proceeding, challenge or opposition within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such Change of Control. If a Licensee Partner of either Party challenges the validity, scope or enforceability of or otherwise opposes any Patent included in any of the intellectual property described in this Section 14.3(d) under which such Licensee Partner is sublicensed in any action or proceeding, then the Party that granted such sublicense shall, upon written notice from the other Party, terminate such sublicense.

Neither Party shall, and each Party shall ensure that its Affiliates and Licensee Partners do not, use or disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party or any nonpublic information regarding the Prosecution or enforcement of any Vividion Patent, Celgene Co-Co Collaboration Patent or Vividion Co-Co Collaboration Patent (including Joint Co-Co Patents and Joint Patents) to which a Party or any of its Affiliates or (sub)licensees are or become privy as a consequence of the rights granted to such Party pursuant to Article X, in initiating, requesting, making, filing or maintaining, or in funding or otherwise assisting any other Person with respect to, any Challenge.
