 1.1 “MSDW Marks” shall mean all the trademarks, service marks, logos, trade names and other source identifiers, whether registered in any jurisdictions or at common law, now owned or hereafter acquired by MSDW which
incorporate the mark “MORGAN STANLEY CAPITAL INTERNATIONAL.” 
 1.2 “Related Company” shall mean any company which
is more than 50 percent indirectly owned by MSDW through MSCI. A company shall be a Related Company from the moment it becomes more than 50 percent indirectly owned by MSDW through MSCI, and remain a Related Company for so long as it remains more

 1.3 “Substantially owned” shall mean ownership of more than 50
percent. 







 1.4 “Territory” shall mean the entire world. 
 2. GRANT. Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement: 
 2.1 MSDW grants to MSCI an exclusive royalty-free license to use the MSDW Marks in the Territory on or in connection with any goods or services and in connection with the advertising and promotion of such goods or
services. 
 2.2 MSDW grants to MSCI an exclusive royalty-free license to use the MSDW Marks in the Territory as part of its corporate and/or

 3. TERM.

 4. QUALITY CONTROL. 
 4.1 MSCI and the Related Companies will maintain such quality standards as MSDW may prescribe. Furthermore, neither MSCI nor the Related Companies will use or give permission to a third party to use the MSDW Marks in

 4.2 All uses of the MSDW Marks pursuant to this agreement by MSCI and any Related Company shall be of at
least the same high quality as has been previously maintained by MSCI, MSDW and the Related Companies under this agreement and in their ongoing business practices. 
 4.3 Any and all uses of the MSDW Marks shall be in accordance with all applicable national, state, provincial, local or other laws and regulations.

threshold ownership of the Related Companies by MSCI as set forth above. 
 5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. 
 5.1 MSCI and the Related Companies acknowledge that MSDW is the owner of the MSDW Marks. It is understood and agreed that nothing in this agreement will
be deemed in any way to constitute an assignment by MSDW of the MSDW Marks or of any rights therein, or to give MSCI or any of the Related Companies any right, title or interest in and to the MSDW Marks (excepts the right to make use thereof as
provided for in this agreement). 
 5.2 MSDW shall register and maintain registrations for all of the MSDW Marks as it reasonably believes

such registration or application to MSDW. 
 5.4 MSCI and the Related Companies are, however, authorized to register as corporate and/or
assumed names, names which contain any MSDW Marks. However, MSCI and the Related Companies must change and cease using said corporate and/or assumed names within 90 days after MSCI ceases to be substantially owned by MSDW, and with regard to any
Related Company, within 90 days after said Related Company ceases to be a Related Company. 
 5.5 MSCI and the Related Companies shall
cooperate at MSDW’s reasonable request with MSDW with regard to the prosecution and maintenance of any applications, registrations, registered user agreements and the like with regard to the MSDW Marks, including the supplying of specimens of
use and executing any documents requested by MSDW for such purposes.
