	 	(A)	Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement, CBRE Cal hereby grants to Licensee a nonexclusive, paid-up, non-transferable right to use the Mark in
the United States, and CBRE hereby grants to Licensee a nonexclusive, paid-up, non-transferable right to use the Mark elsewhere in the world (together, the “Territory”), in connection with Services permitted by this Agreement. As used

authority to carry on its business, to enter into and carry out the provisions of this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Licensee is or will be duly qualified or licensed to do business and in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary. 

  

	 	(B)	Authority. This Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action on the part of

of this Agreement or Licensee’s use of the Mark, and that all goodwill arising from ownership of the Mark shall inure exclusively to the benefit of Licensor. Licensee agrees to notify Licensor promptly after it becomes aware of any actual or
threatened infringement, imitation, dilution, misappropriation or other unauthorized use or conduct in derogation of the Mark (“Infringement Event”). The Licensor that owns such Mark shall have the sole right to bring any action to remedy
the foregoing (or to refrain from taking any action in its sole discretion), and Licensee shall cooperate with such Licensor in same, at such Licensor’s expense. Licensee shall, at its expense, cooperate fully and in good faith with each
Licensor for the purpose of securing, preserving and protecting such Licensor’s rights in and to the Mark.

warranties or covenants hereunder. 

  

	 	(B)	Licensee shall indemnify Licensor against any and all liabilities, claims, actions, causes of action, counterclaims, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
