6.1           Neither Party may grant or assign any rights or delegate any duties under this Agreement to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the other, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that a Party may, without such consent, assign this Agreement in its entirety, and its rights and obligations hereunder, to the successor in interest to the Party in connection with a Change of Control of the Party. The acquired Party shall give the other Party prompt written notice of any Change of Control of the Party. However, any rights assigned by a Party to an acquiring Third Party shall not extend beyond those possessed by the Party at the time of the acquisition and shall exclude the acquiring Third Party’s business at the time of the acquisition. For the avoidance of doubt, a sale or other transfer of one or more Licensed Patents and/or Unlicensed Patents to a Third-Party shall not constitute an assignment requiring written consent under this Section so long as such sale or transfer to a Third-Party is made subject to the rights and covenants contained herein. All license rights and covenants contained herein shall run with the Licensed Patents and/or Unlicensed Patents and shall be binding on any successors-in-interest or assigns thereof.

 

6.2           For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that ZTE or any ZTE Affiliate separates, disposes of, or otherwise ceases to control one or more of its businesses, product lines, or any of the ZTE Affiliates themselves (the “Separated Entity”), whether by way of a sale, assignment, stock purchase, merger, establishment of a joint venture, spin-off, or otherwise (a “Separation Event”), such a Separation Event shall not constitute an assignment of any rights that would require Vringo’s prior written consent, and neither ZTE nor any ZTE Affiliate shall lose or have its rights, licenses and covenants under this Agreement terminated or impaired as a result of such a Separation Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times following the occurrence of a Separation Event, any right, license, release or covenant shall be subject to the future limitation that such right, license, release or covenant for such Separated Entity shall extend only to a ZTE Licensed Product that (A) was first commercially sold by ZTE or its Affiliates prior to the occurrence of such Separation Event, or (B) is a customary line extension or natural evolution of a product described in the preceding clause (A), but in no event shall any such right, license, release, or covenant extend to a ZTE Licensed Product that is combined, merged, incorporated in or sold with a product, component or device of a Third Party.
