APL may terminate this Agreement immediately if Licensee or any of its Sublicensees or Affiliates directly or indirectly initiate or prosecute any lawsuit or any other civil or administrative proceeding making any claim or counterclaim, of any kind in any court, tribunal, agency, or governmental entity anywhere in the world, challenging the validity or enforceability of the APL Patent Rights. Licensee or any of its Sublicensees or Affiliates shall provide advance written notice to APL before Licensee or any of its Sublicensees or Affiliates initiates such challenge, and shall pay royalties to APL at the rate of two (2) times the rates provided for in Section 4.3(a) during the pendency of the challenge. Should the outcome of such challenge determine that any claim of APL Patent Rights is both valid and infringed, Licensee or any of its Sublicensees or Affiliates shall thereafter pay royalties to APL at the rate of three (3) times the rates provided for in Section 4.3(a). Licensee or any of its Sublicensees or Affiliates shall pay APL directly all royalties due under this Section 11.2(d) instead of paying such royalties into an escrow or other similar account.

Whether the challenge brought by the Licensee or any of its Sublicensees or Affiliates is successful or unsuccessful, Licensee or any of its Sublicensees or Affiliates shall be required to pay for all reasonable costs and attorney fees incurred by APL as a result of the challenge.
