ARTICLE 2 — GRANT OF LICENSE
          2.1. Grant of License to “ITT” for Use in Unified Brand Name.
          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein, ITTME grants to Exelis
and its Covered Affiliates a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up,
non-assignable (subject to Section 6.1), and non-sublicensable (subject to
Section 2.8) license to use the ITT Word Mark (as set forth on Schedule A) as
Source Indicators solely in combination with the name “Exelis” (“New Brand
Name”) to form the composite name “ITT Exelis” (the “Unified Brand Name”) and
solely in connection with the operation, advertisement, marketing, promotion and
support of the Defense Business, for three (3) years after the Distribution Date
(the “Unified Initial Term”).
          (b) Subject to the terms and conditions herein, ITTME hereby grants to
Exelis and its Covered Affiliates, effective as of the Distribution Date, a
no-cost option to extend the term of the license in Section 2.1(a) for the
Unified Brand Name by one (1) year increments, up to a maximum of two
(2) additional years (the “Unified Renewal Term” and together with the Unified
Initial Term, the “Unified License Term”). Exelis may exercise this option by
providing written notice to ITTME at any time during the Unified Initial Term,
and will provide such written notice not later than three (3) months prior to
the expiration of the Unified Initial Term, unless otherwise agreed by the
Parties.
          2.2. Grant of License to ITT Marks for Legacy Products. Subject to the
terms and conditions herein, ITTME grants to Exelis and its Covered Affiliates
(those Covered Affiliates in subsections (i) and (iii) only) a non-exclusive,
worldwide, fully paid-up, non-assignable (subject to Section 6.1), and
non-sublicensable (subject to Section 2.8) license to use the ITT Marks (as
trademarks, service marks, logos, trade dress and the like, but not as domain
names, corporate names, trade names, d/b/a names and similar names) solely in
connection with the operation, advertisement, marketing, promotion and support
of Legacy Products, and with respect to advertising, marketing and promotion,
solely in a manner consistent with their use prior to the Distribution Date.
This license for Legacy Products shall continue with respect to each Legacy
Product for so long as that Legacy Product remains in production. For the
avoidance of doubt, the license rights granted under this Section 2.2 shall not
apply to any New Products. For the avoidance of doubt, molds, tools and dyes
that imprint or stamp any ITT Marks into spare parts for Legacy Products
discontinued before the Distribution Date or during the Unified License Term may
be used and such spare parts may be sold, until (i) the expiration of Exelis’s
contractual obligations to provide such spare parts or (ii) such spare parts
become obsolete.
          2.3. Grant of General Transitional License for the ITT Marks (other
than in connection with Legacy Products). Subject to the terms and conditions
herein, ITTME grants to Exelis and its Covered Affiliates (those Covered
Affiliates in subsections (i) and (iii) only) a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully
paid-up, non-assignable (subject to Section 6.1), and non-sublicensable (subject
to Section 2.8) license to use the ITT Marks as Source Indicators solely in
connection with the operation, advertisement, marketing and promotion of the
Defense Business in a manner consistent with Exelis and such Covered Affiliates’
use of such ITT Marks prior to the Distribution Date, solely for the following
purposes and solely until the end of each time periods below. Exelis and its
Covered Affiliates acknowledge that the licenses in this Section

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

2.3 are transitional in nature, and that Exelis and its Covered Affiliates shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to transition away from substantially all of
the following uses of the ITT Marks promptly after the Distribution Date. Exelis
and its Covered Affiliates shall not unreasonably delay until each applicable
deadline set forth in this Section 2.3 to accomplish the actions specified
therein.
          (a) Exelis must file (or cause to be filed) to change all of its and
its Covered Affiliates’ corporate names, trade names, d/b/a names and similar
names to names that do not contain any ITT Marks, within six (6) months after
the Unified License Term, and promptly and diligently prosecute all such changes
to completion;
          (b) Except as permitted under the licenses of Sections 2.1 and 2.2,
Exelis must remove (or cause to be removed) all uses of ITT Marks as Source
Indicators from all of its and its Covered Affiliates’ websites and electronic
media that are promoted to third parties and under Exelis’s or its Covered
Affiliates’ possession or control within one-hundred-eighty (180) days after the
Distribution Date and the use of ITT as part of the name of substantially
invisible internal servers shall be ceased within a commercially reasonable time
period not to exceed eighteen (18) months from the Distribution Date;
          (c) Except as permitted under the licenses of Sections 2.1 and 2.2,
Exelis must use commercially reasonable efforts to remove (or cause to be
removed) all of its and its Covered Affiliates’ uses of ITT Marks as Source
Indicators in all channels, pages and other designated areas of social networks
and social media that are publicly affiliated with Exelis within
one-hundred-eighty (180) days after the Distribution Date;
          (d) Except as permitted under the licenses of Sections 2.1 and 2.2,
after the Distribution Date, Exelis and its Covered Affiliates must (i) not
create any new personal property or disposable materials, including signage,
advertising, promotional materials, brochures, catalogues, operation and
instruction manuals, datasheets, software, packaging, stationery, business
cards, invoices, receipts, forms, literature other similar items bearing the ITT
Marks and (ii) cease commercial use of any of the foregoing materials in
existence as of the Distribution Date within one-hundred-eighty (180) days after
the Distribution Date;
          (e) Except as permitted under the licenses of Sections 2.1 and 2.2,
Exelis must remove (or cause to be removed) all ITT Marks from any of its or its
Covered Affiliates’ heavy machinery, tools, equipment, and substantially
permanent building signage (including etched glass, engraved marble and the
like) (i) that are visible to third parties, within two (2) years from the
Distribution Date or (ii) that are not visible to third parties, when such items
are replaced in the ordinary course of business;
          (f) Except as may be permitted by the licenses of Sections 2.1 and 2.2
Exelis must discontinue (or cause to be discontinued) the use of all of its or
its Covered Affiliates’ molds, tools and dyes that imprint or stamp any ITT
Marks into products visible to third parties within two (2) years after Unified
Initial Term or within one (1) year after Unified Renewal Term. Approaching the
end of the License Term, Exelis and its Covered Affiliates must not create
amounts of product that are imprinted or stamped with the ITT Marks at rates
that materially exceed the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice. Exelis and its

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Covered Affiliates may sell any products created pursuant to the foregoing until
three (3) years after the Unified Initial Term or until two (2) years after
Unified Renewal Term. For the avoidance of doubt, molds, tools and dyes that
imprint or stamp any ITT Marks into spare parts for products discontinued before
the Distribution Date or during the Unified License Term may be used, and such
imprinted or stamped spare parts may be sold, until (i) the expiration of
Exelis’s contractual obligations to provide such imprinted or stamped spare
parts or (ii) such spare parts become obsolete; and
          (g) Except as permitted under the licenses of Sections 2.1 and 2.2,
Exelis and its Covered Affiliates must cease all other uses of the ITT Marks
within one-hundred-eighty (180) days after the Distribution Date, or as mutually
agreed by the Parties.
          2.4. Restrictions on ITTME. Subject to the terms and conditions
herein, during the Unified License Term, ITTME shall not license the ITT Marks
for use in connection with any Defense Business to any entities other than ITT
Corporation (or to ITT Corporation for use in its Aerospace Controls and
Interconnect Solutions businesses), without the prior written approval of
Exelis, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
          2.5. Website Disclaimer. Exelis and its Covered Affiliates shall
display on their respective websites a mutually-agreed upon disclaimer as to
their lack of current affiliation with ITT after the Distribution Date, for so
long as any such website contains an ITT Mark.
          2.6. Fair Use. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, Exelis and its Covered Affiliates may use the ITT Marks at all times
after the Distribution Date (i) in a neutral, non-trademark use to describe the
history of their business; or (ii) as required or permitted by applicable law.
          2.7. Destruction. At ITTME’s request, at the end of the time periods
in Section 2.3, Exelis shall (i) destroy or permanently modify (or cause to
destroy or permanently modify) all of the materials bearing the ITT Marks in the
possession or control of Exelis and its Covered Affiliates that are capable of
destruction or permanent modification; and/or (ii) certify in writing to ITTME
that such destruction or permanent modification is complete.
          2.8. Sublicensing. Exelis and its Covered Affiliates may sublicense
the license in Section 2.3 without ITTME’s consent, solely to advertisers,
distributors, vendors, dealers, suppliers and other Persons for use in
connection with the operation of Exelis and its Covered Affiliates’ businesses,
but not for such Persons’ unrelated use. Provided that Exelis and its Covered
Affiliates had authorized or permitted such Persons to use the ITT Marks for
such purposes prior to the Distribution Date, Exelis and its Covered Affiliates
shall terminate such authorization or permission granted according to the
deadlines set forth in Section 2.3. All other sublicenses of the license in
Section 2.3 require the prior written consent of ITTME in its sole discretion.
Exelis shall be liable to ITTME for any act or omission by a sublicensee that
would constitute a breach hereof if committed by Exelis.
          2.9. Use by Covered Affiliates. Any obligations upon, or rights
granted to, Exelis hereunder shall also apply to its Covered Affiliates. Exelis
shall be liable hereunder for any act or omission by its Covered Affiliates as
if committed by Exelis.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          2.10. Reservation of Rights. All rights in the ITT Marks not expressly
granted to Exelis and its Covered Affiliates herein are reserved to ITTME.
          2.11. Consideration. The Parties agree that the consideration for the
licenses in Sections 2.1- 2.3 is a portion of the consideration set forth in the
Distribution Agreement, and that no further royalties are therefore due under
this Agreement.
ARTICLE 3 — QUALITY CONTROL/OWNERSHIP/ENFORCEMENT
          3.1. Quality Control. Exelis shall use the ITT Marks solely: (i) in
good faith, in a dignified manner and in accordance with good trademark practice
in all applicable countries and jurisdictions and (ii) in connection with
activities, products, and services that reflect favorably upon the high levels
of quality associated with ITT’s operation of the ITT business prior to the
Distribution Date. ITTME agrees that, in view of the Parties’ status immediately
prior to the Distribution Date as part of one corporate organization, each
Party’s knowledge of standards and procedures for ensuring consistent quality
and Exelis’s history of providing high-quality goods and services, ITTME accepts
Exelis’s Current use of the ITT Marks and adherence to Current standards of
quality as satisfying this Section 3.1(i) and (ii). With respect to its use of
the ITT Marks under the transitional license of Section 2.3, Exelis agrees to
use the ITT Marks in accordance with all style, use, advertising, website and
similar guidelines provided by ITTME, provided that ITTME shall not impose any
burdens upon Exelis that are inconsistent with or disproportionate to those
practices employed by ITT and its own Affiliates. Exelis and its Covered
Affiliates shall not take any action (or fail to take any action) that harms or
jeopardizes the value, validity or goodwill of the ITT brand. ITTME agrees that
Exelis’s use of the ITT Marks as of the Distribution Date complies with this
Section 3.1.
          3.2. Compliance with Laws. Exelis shall (i) use all commercially
reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable statutes, laws, regulations,
rules and good industry practice (“Laws”) wherever it uses any ITT Marks and
(ii) use all notices and legends required by applicable Laws and/or that are
reasonably requested by ITTME so as to preserve and maintain the validity of and
ITTME’s rights in the ITT Marks, provided that any notice requirements of ITTME
shall not (x) impose any burdens upon Exelis that are inconsistent with or
disproportionate to those employed by ITT and its own Affiliates and/or
(y) confuse consumers as to the Parties’ non-affiliation after the Distribution
Date, and/or (z) be inconsistent with any US Government regulations or
requirements.
          3.3. Ownership/No Contest. Exelis acknowledges and agrees that, as
between the Parties, ITTME owns all right, title, and interest in the ITT Marks.
Exelis will not challenge or contest such ownership or the validity of any ITT
Marks, including in any claim, dispute, action, suit, arbitration, inquiry or
proceeding (“Action”). Exelis shall be considered a “related company” under
Section 5 of the U.S. Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1055, such that its use of the ITT
Marks and the goodwill generated thereby shall inure to the sole benefit of
ITTME. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Exelis is deemed to have any
ownership rights in the ITT Marks, at ITTME’s request, Exelis shall cause such
rights to be assigned to ITTME or its designee for no consideration.

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          3.4. New Registrations by Exelis. If Exelis wishes to request ITTME to
apply for a new registration for (i) an ITT Mark in the Defense Business in any
additional country or jurisdiction and/or (ii) in connection with new products
or services in the Defense Business (in each case, a “New Mark”), Exelis shall
notify ITTME in writing, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith to
establish appropriate procedures and coverage of costs associated with such New
Marks. Neither Party shall file to register the Unified Brand Name as a Source
Indicator without the other Party’s prior written consent.
          3.5. Enforcement. During the License Term, each Party shall promptly
notify the other Party after it becomes aware of any actual or threatened
infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other unauthorized use
(“Infringement”) of the ITT Marks in connection with the Defense Business. ITTME
will be responsible for enforcement of the ITT Marks, and shall pay for all
enforcement, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties for any specific matters.
The parties anticipate that ITTME and/or ITT Corporation will continue to
protect the ITT Marks with the same level of care historically used but in no
event less than commercially reasonable standard of care. The Parties shall
cooperate in good faith in all Actions brought pursuant to this Section 3.5 with
Exelis providing reasonable assistance (without being required to incur
out-of-pocket costs) with respect to such enforcement and the Parties shall keep
each other informed of all material developments relating thereto. The Parties
will fully cooperate to enforce the Unified Brand Name against infringement or
dilution by third parties.
          3.6. Cooperation. During the License Term and for a period of five
(5) years thereafter, Exelis and its Covered Affiliates shall, upon the request
of ITTME, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide free of charge and
without undue delay, evidence of use of the ITT Marks that may be reasonably
required to support the maintenance or renewal of relevant trademark
registrations and/or defend ITT Marks against challenges for lack of use (e.g.,
copies of sales & marketing material, customer invoices and shipping documents);
provided that if Exelis no longer desires to store such materials for a product
line after the Term it may notify ITTME of the same and deliver (at Exelis’s
cost) electronic media samples of such materials to ITTME and upon
acknowledgment by ITTME of receipt of such materials, and the obligations of
this Section 3.6 for this product line shall cease thereafter.
ARTICLE 4 — TERM AND TERMINATION/SURVIVAL
          4.1. Term. The term of the license in Section 2.1 is for the Unified
License Term. The term of the license in Section 2.2 is as set forth therein.
The term of each license in Section 2.3, commences upon the date of the
Distribution, and ends upon the date specified therein. The term of this
Agreement (“Term”) commences on the Distribution Date and continues until the
last license deadline (including any post-termination transitional periods) in
Article 2 expires.
          4.2. Termination. ITTME has the right to terminate this Agreement,
effective upon notice to Exelis, if Exelis or its Covered Affiliates commit an
intentional material breach of this Agreement that materially harms the goodwill

from ITTME.

Exelis be acquired by any third party, (i) if the acquisition occurs during the
Unified License Term, the license in Section 2.1 shall terminate ninety
(90) days from the closing date of such acquisition, subject to a
mutually-agreed reasonable extension for items for which brand transition is not
commercially practicable within ninety (90) days and (ii) the licenses in
Sections 2.2 and 2.3 shall continue in full force and effect.

nature, are intended to survive the expiration of the Term or the termination of
this Agreement shall survive such event.

suitability, condition, merchantability, fitness for use or non-infringement of
third-party rights.
          5.3. Indemnification. Without limiting the terms and provisions of the
Distribution Agreement, Exelis shall (and shall cause each member of the Defense
Group to) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the ITT Indemnitees from and
against any and all Indemnifiable Losses relating to any third-party Action
brought against any ITT Indemnitee for property damage or personal injury
relating to the operation of the Defense Business by the Defense Group, to the
extent any such Action is brought against any ITT Indemnitee due to ITTME’s
ownership of the ITT Marks. Section 7.5 of the Distribution Agreement shall
apply to the indemnification procedures herein as applicable, mutatis mutandis.
