resolving the alleged infringement.


 


19.2         Rich Dad and Licensee (to the extent
permitted under the law) each shall have the right to institute an action for
such an infringement of the Licensed Marks against such third party in
accordance with the following:


 


a.     If Rich
Dad and Licensee agree to institute suit jointly, the suit shall be brought in
both their names; the out-of-pocket costs thereof shall be borne equally by
Rich Dad and Licensee or as otherwise agreed by the parties; and recoveries, if
any, whether by judgment, award, decree or settlement, shall be divided in
order as follows:


 


i. reimbursement to Rich Dad and Licensee for all
costs of the litigation; and


 


ii. any remaining recovery will be divided between
Rich Dad and Licensee with damages attributable to activities outside of the
Field of Use (if any) paid to the Rich Dad and the remainder divided equally
between the parties. Rich Dad shall choose lead legal counsel, subject to
Licensee’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall
exercise control over such action. However, Rich Dad shall not enter into any
settlement without Licensee’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, and Licensee may, if it so desires, be represented by counsel of its
own selection, the fees for which counsel shall be paid by Licensee at Licensee’s
sole expense (and not reimbursable hereunder).


 


b.     In the
absence of agreement to institute a suit jointly, Rich Dad may institute suit,
and, at its option, join Licensee as a plaintiff or otherwise appropriate
participant in such legal process. Rich Dad shall bear the entire cost of such
litigation and shall be entitled to retain the entire amount of any recovery by
way of judgment or settlement. Rich Dad shall choose lead legal counsel and
exercise control over such action, provided, however, that Licensee may, if it
so desires, be represented by counsel of its own selection, the fees for which
counsel shall be paid by Licensee at Licensee’s sole expense (and not
reimbursable hereunder).


 


c.     In the
absence of agreement to institute a suit jointly and Rich Dad determines not to
institute a suit, as provided in paragraph 19.2b above, Licensee shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to pursue legal process to redress any 


 

















 


alleged
infringement. Upon Rich Dad’s written consent, Licensee may bring such legal
action in the name of Rich Dad and may make Rich Dad a party plaintiff or otherwise
appropriate participant in such legal process. Licensee shall pay Rich Dad’s
legal expenses incurred in such legal process, and shall indemnify Rich Dad
against any order for costs that may be made against Rich Dad in such
proceedings. Should Licensee decide to pursue legal process under this
paragraph, Licensee shall have the right to select lead legal counsel, subject
to Rich Dad’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall
exercise control over such litigation. However, Licensee shall not enter into
any settlement without Rich Dad’s approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Any monetary recovery for an infringement in a suit
brought by Licensee shall be considered Licensee’s recovery. However, any
recovery in excess of expenses shall be considered gross revenue subject to
royalty payments pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement.


 


d.     Should
either Rich Dad or Licensee commence a suit under the provisions of this Section and
thereafter elect to abandon the same, it shall give timely notice to the other
party who may, if it so desires, continue prosecution of such suit, provided,
however, that the sharing of expenses and a recovery in such suit shall be as
agreed upon between Rich Dad and Licensee.


 


19.3         Rich Dad and Licensee shall cooperate
in any legal process concerning alleged infringement of the Licensed Marks.
Each party shall, to the fullest extent possible, make available its employees,
records, information and the like as relevant to the legal process.


 


20. Further documents


 


20.1         The parties agree to execute and
deliver all such further documents, agreements and instruments and take such
other and further action as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out the
purposes and intent of this Agreement.


 


21. Entire Agreement


 


21.1         This Agreement, along with any
attachments, exhibits, schedules and documents incorporated by reference
herein, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior communications,
writings and other documents with regard thereto. No modification, amendment or
waiver of any provision hereof shall be binding upon either party hereto unless
it is in writing and executed by both of the parties hereto or, in the case of
a waiver, by the party waiving compliance.


 


22. Relationship of Parties


 


22.1         Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third person to
create the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint
venture or of any association between the parties. None of the 


 

















 


provisions
contained in this Agreement nor any acts of the parties hereto shall be deemed
to create any relationship between the parties other than the relationship
specified in this Agreement.


 


23. Captions


 


23.1         The division of this Agreement into and
the use of captions for paragraphs is for convenience of reference only and
shall not affect the interpretation or construction of this Agreement.


 


24. Severability


 


24.1         In the event any provision of this
Agreement or the application of any provision shall be held by a tribunal of
competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, then, the remaining provisions of
this Agreement shall be unimpaired, and the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provision shall be replaced by a provision, which, being legal, valid and
enforceable, comes closest to the intent of the parties underlying the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provision. In any event an illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision shall not affect the enforceability or the validity of
the remaining terms or portions thereof, and each such unenforceable or invalid
provision or portion thereof shall be severable from the remainder of this
Agreement.


 


25. Cost of Enforcement


 


25.1         If a party commences any arbitration,
action at law or in equity, or for declaratory relief, or in appellate
proceedings, to secure or protect any rights under, or to enforce any provision
of, this License Agreement, then, in addition to any judgment, order, or other
relief obtained in such proceedings, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover from the losing party all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’
fees incurred by the party in connection with such proceedings, including,
attorneys’ fees incurred for consultation and other legal services performed
prior to the filing of such proceeding.
