SEPARATION AGREEMENT  AND RELEASE

 

THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT  AND  RELEASE  ("Separation  Agreement")  is made and entered into by and between Devin Andres ("Andres") and Entia Biosciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Entia"), including its predecessor, Total Nutraceutical Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("TNS") (Entia and TNS, including all affiliates and subsidiaries, will  be referred to as "Entia"). This Separation Agreement is effective on the date Andres signs this Separation Agreement,  as indicated on the signature page ("Effective Date").

RECITALS

A. Andres entered into an Employment Agreement dated October 11, 2011, with Entia's predecessor, TNS ("Employment Agreement").

B. Entia has undergone a reorganization, which will affect Andres' job duties and responsibilities.   In addition, Andres has made claims against Entia related to retaliation and failure to pay wages under state and federal law.  Entia denies that there have been any violations of state or federal employment laws or wage and hour laws.

C. The parties have entered into settlement negotiations regarding a global resolution of all of Andres' claims, and regarding his separation of employment with Entia.  As part of the negotiations, the parties have made the mutual decision to terminate Andres' employment  without notice by either party under the terms of this Separation Agreement.

D. These negotiations are outside of the provisions of Sections 6(d) and/or Section (6)(e) of the Employment Agreement.  As such, Andres will have no further rights to severance set out in Sections 6(d) and or Section 6(e).  However, the provision of Paragraph 6(f) that requires that Andres sign a separation agreement, including a full release of all claims, in order to obtain consideration, continues.

E. In order to resolve the parties'  disputes without expensive litigation, Entia is willing to provide Andres with certain considerations described below, which it is not ordinarily required to provide, in exchange for Andres' agreement not to file a lawsuit against Entia or other released parties, and to release Entia from any claims Andres has made or might make.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the conditions and promises set forth below, it is agreed as follows:

TERMS OF SETTLEMENT

 

1. Recitals.   The Recitals preceding this Paragraph  1 are true and correct, and are incorporated herein as material parts to this Separation Agreement.

2. Bona Fide Dispute over unpaid wages.  The parties agree that there is a bona fide dispute over whether Entia owes Andres any unpaid wages.

3. Consideration.  As consideration for the promises herein, Entia agrees to perform the following (all of which are referred to herein as "Separation Pay");

(ii) The second check, representing alleged non-wage damages related to various employment claims under Oregon state law, federal law, or common law will be made payable to Devin Andres in the amount of $93,074.00, on January 1, 2016, and will be reported on an IRS Form 1099 and designated as "Other Income" in Box 3.

(b)  Options or Warrants.

(i) Entia will reprice any outstanding vested options or warrants (currently options for the purchase of 613,342 shares and warrants for the purchase of 336,341 shares of Entia common stock), which Andres would hold as of August 31, 2015, to a price equal to the "floor" price for Entia's financing that is anticipated to be conducted by R.F. Lafferty & Co. during the fourth quarter of 2015.

 

(ii)  Andres, in turn, agrees:

(1) Andres will not to sell any Entia stock before December  1, 2015;

(2) Between December 1, 2015 and December 31, 2016, Andres will not sell more than six percent (6%) of his personal holdings of Entia common stock within any one calendar month; and

(3) After January 1, 2017, there will be no amount restriction on Andres with regard to the sale of Entia common stock.

(4) In any event, Andres will not sell any of his personal Entia holdings, if at the time of such sale, he possesses material inside information about Entia or such sale would not comply with securities laws.

4. No Tax or Securities Advice.  Andres acknowledges that neither Entia nor its agents have provided any advice, nor is Andres relying on any advice from Entia or its agents, regarding the tax or securities consequences of this Separation Agreement. Andres agrees that he is solely responsible for any tax or securities obligations, including all reporting and payment obligations, which may arise to Andres personally as a consequence of this Separation Agreement.  Andres agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold Entia harmless from any and all penalties, losses, costs, taxes, damages, or expenses incurred as a result of any payments made under this Agreement relating to said tax obligations.

5. IRC 409A.  This Separation Agreement and the benefits provided hereunder are intended to either be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the regulations promulgated thereunder ("Section 409A") and should be interpreted consistent therewith.  If a benefit hereunder is subject to Section 409A, references to "termination of employment" (or similar phrases) shall be interpreted as consistent with the definition of "separation from service" in the regulations promulgated under Section 409A.  If any other payments of money or other benefits due to Andres hereunder could cause the application of an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A, Andres and Entia shall adopt such amendments to the Separation Agreement, including amendments with retroactive effect, that Andres' legal counsel shall deem appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatments and to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.

6. Complete Release of All Claims.   In consideration for payments made by Entia to Andres and for Entia' s agreement to reprice the options and warrants held by Andres as of August 31, 2015, as described in Paragraph 1 above, Andres hereby acknowledges full and complete satisfaction of and fully releases and forever discharges Entia and Total Nutraceutical  Solutions, Inc.

(e) Violations of public policy, state, federal or local statutory and/or common law, including but not limited to claims for: personal injury; invasion of privacy; retaliatory discharge; wrongful discharge; negligent hiring, retention or supervision; defamation; intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress and/or mental anguish; intentional interference with contract; negligence; detrimental reliance; loss of consortium to Andres or any member of Andres's family; and/or promissory estoppel; or

(f) Any obligation of any Released Entity for any reason to pay Andres  damages, penalties, expenses, litigation costs (including attorneys' fees), back pay, front pay, disability or other benefits (other than any accrued pension benefits), compensatory damages, punitive damages, and/or interest.

(g) The parties acknowledge further that in the event Andres brings a claim in which Andres or any person on behalf of Andres seeks damages against any Released Entity or in the event Andres or any person on behalf of Andres seeks to recover against any Released Entity in any claim brought by a governmental agency on Andres' s behalf, this release serves as a complete defense to any such claims.

7. Covenant not to Sue.  Andres agrees that he will not file a lawsuit of whatever kind or nature whatsoever against Entia or any Released Entity concerning any and all matters or claims released hereto and will promptly dismiss any which have been filed.  If Andres files such a lawsuit or fails to dismiss ones which have been filed, Entia or any Released Entity will be entitled to its costs and/or attorney fees expended in defense of such action, should it prevail.

8. Compliance with Older Workers Benefit Protection Act.  Andres, being 40 years of age or older, is advised of and acknowledges the following:

(a) Twenty-One Day Consideration Period.  Although he is free to sign this Agreement before then, Andres acknowledges that he has at least twenty-one (21) days after receipt of this document during which to consider whether to execute this Agreement (the "Consideration Period").  During this twenty-one (21) day period, and before signing this Agreement, Andres is advised and encouraged to consult with an attorney regarding the terms and provisions of this Agreement at his own expense.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement are null and void if not accepted by Andres within the twenty-one day period. Andres and Entia agree that any changes made to this Agreement during the Consideration Period as a result of negotiations between the parties do not restart the running of the Consideration Period.

(b) Release of Age Discrimination in Employment Act Claims. As provide in Section (6)(a)(i), by signing this Agreement, Andres waives any claims he has or might have against the Company under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA'') that accrued prior to the date of Employee's execution of the Agreement.

Revocation Period.  Andres acknowledges that he has seven (7) calendar days after signing this Agreement to revoke waiver of the ADEA claim by notifying Entia in writing prior to the expiration of the seven (7) calendar day period.  This Agreement will not be effective or enforceable until that period has expired ("Effective Date").  To be effective, a revocation  of the ADEA claim must be in writing and delivered to Entia, to the attention of its Chief Executive Officer, either by hand or by certified mail, and postmarked within the seven-day (7) period.  If sent by mail, the revocation must be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, and received by Entia on or before 5:00 p.m., pacific time, on the seventh day after signing this Agreement.  If Andres exercises his right to revoke his waiver and release under the ADEA, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, except that the amount of Separation Funds in Paragraph 3 shall be reduced by $10,000 to $142,000.00, which Andres agrees constitutes adequate and sufficient consideration to continue to bind him to all provisions of this Agreement and his obligations hereunder.

9. D & O Coverage.  Entia agrees to maintain a D & O policy.  To the extent permissible under Entia's D & O policy, which Entia does not control, Andres may request coverage under that policy for litigation covered by that policy which may arise as a result of his employment with Entia.

 

10. Mutual  Non-Disparagement.

any other governmental entity as required by law ("Third Parties"), provided, however, that the Third Parties to whom such disclosure is made agree in advance to be bound by the terms of this Paragraph  14.

Andres agrees that this information is "Confidential Information" that belongs to Entia.

If anyone tries to compel disclosure of any Confidential Information, by subpoena or otherwise, Andres will immediately notify Entia, so that it may take any actions it deems necessary to protect its interests.

(c) Andres agrees that his duty to maintain the confidentiality of Entia's Confidential Information survives the termination of employment.

(d) All documents (electronic, paper or otherwise), records (electronic, paper or otherwise), materials, hardware, software, equipment, cell phones, keys, and other physical property, and all copies of the foregoing, whether or not otherwise containing Confidential Information, Andres possesses ("Property"), have been and remain the sole property of Entia or its parents, subsidiaries or affiliates, as applicable.

7 – Severance Agreement and Release

PDX\128822\204347\JOB\16395445.1

  

  

  

 

document, database, social media platform, webpage, or similar information while employed with Entia, it remains Entia's Property and Andres cannot remove it from Entia's premises or retain it or any copies of it anywhere, including but not limited to, any personal computers or handheld devices.  This paragraph creates an affirmative duty upon Andres to search all computers, home offices, vehicles and other personal spaces and devices to ensure that all Property is returned to Entia before the Effective Date.

In addition and/or in the alternative, Andres hereby irrevocably and absolutely assigns and transfers to Entia all right, title and interest in and to the Contributed Inventions, including all intellectual property rights of any kind or nature, and agree to assist Entia, at Entia' s expense, to evidence, record and perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain, maintain, enforce and defend the rights in the Contributed Inventions so assigned.  To the extent any right, title or interest in the Contributed Inventions cannot be assigned, Andres hereby grants to Entia an exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, transferable,  sublicensable and worldwide license to practice and use such Contributed Inventions.  To the extent any right, title or interest in the Contributed Inventions can be neither assigned nor licensed, Andres hereby irrevocably waives and agrees never to assert such non-assignable and non-licensable rights against Entia or any of Entia's successors, subsidiaries, licensees, affiliates, vendors or customers.  Andres agrees that he will not challenge, directly or indirectly, Entia's ownership of, Entia's right to use or the validity of any patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, trademark rights or other intellectual property or proprietary rights embodied in the Contributed Inventions.

16. Cooperation with Litigation.  Andres will cooperate fully with Entia in connection with any existing or future litigation against Entia, whether administrative, civil, or criminal in nature, and to the extent Entia deems Andres' cooperation necessary.  Entia agrees that any requests for Andres' cooperation made pursuant to this Paragraph 16 will be made in good faith.  To the extent possible, Entia will provide reasonable notice of the need for such cooperation and will make a good faith effort to accommodate Andres' reasonable scheduling needs in coordinating such cooperation.  To the extent that any such commitment to cooperate with litigation requires more than Five (5) hours, Entia agrees to compensate Andres for additional hours over 5 hours at the hourly rate of $25 per hour.  Andres will provide Entia with an invoice that includes the time and required tasks associated with any request for payment.

17. No Admission of Liability.  This Separation Agreement is to be entered into on a non- precedential basis and may not be construed in any way as an admission by Entia of any liability

to or wrongdoing against Andres or any other persons.  Entia offers the Separation Pay and other benefits because of the Employment Agreement.

18. Unemployment.  Entia agrees not to contest a grant of unemployment benefits to Andres. Entia will respond truthfully, as required by law, to any questions posed to it by the Employment Department regarding Andres' separation of employment.  Andres understands and agrees that the Employment Department ultimately decides whether unemployment compensation benefits are granted or denied and Entia has no authority to grant or deny unemployment benefits.

19. Mandatory Arbitration.  Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of the subject matter of this Separation Agreement will be settled by arbitration before a single arbitrator in Portland, Oregon.  The arbitration will be initiated by filing a claim with the Arbitration Services of Portland ("ASP"), and will be conducted in accordance with the then-current rules of ASP, except the parties expressly reject the allowance or any ASP rules that may allow class action arbitration.   The resolution of any dispute, controversy, or claim as determined by the arbitrator will be binding on the parties.  Judgment on the award of the arbitrator may be entered by any party in any court having jurisdiction.  A party may seek from a court an order to compel arbitration, or any other interim relief or provisional remedies pending an arbitrator's resolution of any dispute, controversy, or claim.  Any such action, suit, or proceeding will be litigated in courts located in Washington, Oregon.  For the purposes of this Paragraph 19, each party consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any local, state, or federal court located in Washington  County, Oregon.

 

20.  Miscellaneous.

(d) Should any provision of this Separation Agreement be declared or determined to be illegal or invalid, the validity of the remaining parts, terms or provisions shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(e) With the exception of any continuing obligations in Section 6(f) and Section 10 of the Employment Agreement, this Separation Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties and fully supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings between the parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Separation Agreement.

Licensee shall not use Licensed Products or Licensed Material in connection with any manner of television, radio, motion picture, moving image clip, webcast, internet broadcast, sound and/or visual recording or transmission device or media, or anything in the nature of the foregoing, now known or hereafter devised, without Disney’s prior written consent.  

4. PAYMENTS AND STATEMENTS; REPORTING.  

 

4.1 Royalties. Licensee shall pay Royalties to Disney on all Sales of Licensed Products.

4.1.1 Sales to Licensee’s Affiliates. Licensee shall pay Royalties to Disney on sales of Licensed Products to an Affiliate of Licensee, and such sales shall be based on the comparable arm’s length price that Licensee would have charged to customers not affiliated with Licensee; provided, however, that if such Affiliate is authorized to sell, and is selling, Licensed Products to consumers, or for resale to consumers, the Royalties payable to Disney shall be calculated on the Sales of the Affiliate, without deduction of any kind.

4.1.2 Sales to Employees. Licensee shall pay Royalties on Sales of Licensed Products to Licensee’s employees at the Royalty Rate for Consumer Sales; provided, however, that if no Royalty Rate for Consumer Sales is specified, the applicable Royalty Rate shall be the highest Royalty Rate set forth in the applicable License Agreement.

4.1.3 Sales to or Purchases from Another Disney Licensee. Licensee shall include on its Royalty Statement any sales or purchases of Licensed Products to or from another licensee of Disney or its Affiliates. If Licensee is the selling licensee, then Licensee shall not be required to pay Royalties

 

  

-9-

  

 

	
on such transactions if (i) such Licensed Products are sold to the purchasing licensee without any mark-up for Royalties, (ii) the purchasing licensee is licensed to sell such Licensed Products, (iii) Licensee and the purchasing licensee confirm in writing that the purchasing licensee shall pay Royalties to Disney on the resale of such Licensed Products, and (iv) the purchasing licensee pays Royalties to Disney on the resale of such Licensed Products. If Licensee is the purchasing licensee, then Licensee shall not be required to pay Royalties on the resale of such Licensed Products if (a) Licensee and the selling licensee confirm in writing that the selling licensee shall pay Royalties to Disney on the sale of such Licensed Products to Licensee and (b) the selling licensee pays Royalties to Disney on the sale of such Licensed Products to Licensee. Licensee shall retain the documentation referenced in sub-sections (iii) and (a) above during the Audit Period.

4.1.4 Returns. Licensee may credit against Royalties due any Royalties previously reported by Licensee on Sales for Licensed Products returned to Licensee for credit or refund and on which a refund or credit has been given provided such refunds or credits do not exceed seven percent (7%) of total Gross Invoiced Billings in each Royalty Payment Period. The credit against Royalties due shall be applied in the Royalty Payment Period in which the customer refund or credit is given; provided, however, if the credit exceeds the amount of Royalties due in such Royalty Payment Period, then such excess and unused credits may be carried forward, but in no event shall Licensee be entitled to a refund of Royalties.

4.1.5 No Deductions. For purposes of calculating Royalties, no discounts, allowances or other deductions from Sales, whether on or off invoice, are permitted, including without limitation, quarterly and year-end rebates, logistical discounts, volume discounts, cash discounts granted as terms of payment, early payment discounts, trade promotions (i.e., trade-based promotions for retailers used to generate sales given in exchange for advertising support, display support and/or merchandising price points, including off invoice allowances, scan rates and bill backs), allowances or discounts relating to advertising or marketing, mark-down allowances, new store allowances, defective goods allowances or allowances taken by customers in lieu of returning goods, shrinkage allowances, costs and expenses incurred in connection with manufacturing, importing, selling or advertising of Licensed Products, allowances or

	 	
discounts voluntarily given, listing/slotting fees or allowances, retailer partnership agreements, promotion allowances, freight costs incorporated in the selling price, and uncollectible accounts.

4.1.6 Time of Royalty Payments and Statements. On or before the fifteenth (15th) day after each Royalty Payment Period, Licensee shall furnish to Disney a complete and accurate Royalty Statement with respect to all Sales of Licensed Products during the preceding Royalty Payment Period. On or before the twenty-fifth (25th) day after each Royalty Payment Period, Licensee shall pay to Disney the Royalties shown to be due in the Royalty Statement. In the event that (i) Licensee subsequently discovers an error which has resulted in an underpayment to Disney of any amounts due in the applicable Royalty Payment Period(s), Licensee shall immediately pay Disney the amount of any such underpayment, together with interest accrued thereon from the date on which such underpayment occurred until the amount thereof is paid at the interest rate set forth in Section 4.4 or

(ii) during the Term of a License Agreement and within any of the four (4) Royalty Payment Periods succeeding the Royalty Statement at issue, Licensee reasonably believes that there were errors in a Royalty Statement submitted under such License Agreement which errors have resulted in an alleged overpayment to Disney, Licensee shall not reduce, credit or otherwise offset any amounts owed by Licensee without Disney’s approval, and in no event shall Licensee be entitled to a refund of Royalties or other amounts paid to Disney. Disney shall give good faith consideration to Licensee’s claim regarding any alleged overpayment errors. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 4.1.6 shall limit Disney’s audit rights under Section 6 including, without limitation, the right to audit any Royalty Statement(s) for which Licensee claims an error pursuant to this Section 4.1.6.

4.2 Guarantees. Licensee shall pay to Disney the Guarantee(s) on or before the date(s) set forth in a Schedule. Licensee may not apply to a Guarantee any Royalties other than those Royalties accrued on Sales of Licensed Products to Authorized Customers in the Distribution Channels in the Territory and during the Term, and with respect to each separate Guarantee, Licensee may only apply such Royalties to the extent such Royalties have been paid on Sales of the applicable Licensed Products during the period(s), for the Properties and in the country(ies) specified for such Guarantee. Notwithstanding the above, Licensee may not credit

  

-10-

  

 

	
against a Guarantee any Royalties paid on Sales of Licensed Products (i) to Disney or its Affiliates, (ii) outside of the Territory pursuant to a written distribution permission granted to Licensee by an Affiliate of Disney, (iii) during any Sell-Off Period or extension of the Term, or (iv) any incremental Royalties due for the use of talent’s name or in- character likeness. No cross-collateralization of Guarantees is permitted, unless authorized in a Schedule. If there is a Guarantee Shortfall at the end of any Guarantee period, Licensee shall pay to Disney such Guarantee Shortfall at the same time as Royalties are due for the last Royalty Payment Period of such Guarantee period; provided, however, that if a License Agreement is earlier terminated by Disney pursuant to Section 9, any and all Guarantees, including any Guarantee Shortfalls, shall become immediately due and payable.

4.3 Taxes. All amounts payable by Licensee to Disney under a License Agreement shall be made in full without reduction for Taxes, customs duties, claims, counterclaims, deductions, or demands against Disney. The Parties acknowledge that no withholding tax is required if both Parties are resident in the United States for tax purposes. Licensee is and shall be solely responsible for any and all Taxes due on (i) Licensee’s payments to Disney (other than income tax payable by Disney) or (ii) the manufacture, distribution or sale of Licensed Products under a License Agreement. If Disney consents in accordance with Section 11.3 to the sublicensing of any rights granted to Licensee to an Affiliate of Licensee, Licensee shall not reduce the amounts payable by Licensee to Disney for any withholding tax that may be imposed on any payments by such Affiliate to Licensee.

4.4 Interest. Any amounts due from Licensee to Disney under a License Agreement not paid by the due date shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the highest rate of interest then permissible by Law.

4.5 U.S. Dollars; Exchange Rates. All payments due from Licensee to Disney shall be made in U.S. Dollars. In the event an exchange rate is necessary, Licensee shall use the official buying rate of exchange as published by Reuters, on the last business day of the applicable Royalty Payment Period, and Licensee shall identify such exchange rate on the Royalty Statement. In the event that there is no published exchange rate for a particular currency on such date, then the last exchange rate for such currency published by Reuters shall be used.

	 	
4.6 Manner of Transmitting Payments and Royalty Statements. Addresses for the transmission of all payments and Royalty Statements due by Licensee to Disney under a License Agreement are set forth in Section II of the Reference Packet. Disney’s acceptance of any payment or Royalty Statement from Licensee, whether by wire transfer or otherwise, shall not constitute a waiver by Disney of any of its rights or remedies.

4.7 POS Information. Licensee hereby agrees to provide Disney, and grants permission to Disney to receive, review and use, all POS Information requested by Disney about Licensee’s Sales of Licensed Products to and through Retailers, Etailers and Catalogs and/or directly to consumers under a License Agreement. Licensee agrees to provide Disney with Product Codes for each Licensed Product prior to the marketing of each Licensed Product. Licensee agrees to notify Retailers, Etailers and Catalogs that Disney has permission to receive, review and use the Product Codes and POS Information, and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate Disney’s receipt of the Product Codes and POS Information. Licensee agrees to promptly confirm to Retailers, Etailers and Catalogs that Disney has permission to receive, review and use the Product Codes and POS Information whenever requested by a Retailer, Etailer or Catalog, as the case may be. Both Parties may use the executed “POS Information Letter” included as an Attachment to the Schedule to facilitate the transmission of POS Information.

4.8 Forecasts. On a quarterly basis, or more frequently as reasonably requested by Disney, Licensee shall provide Disney with Forecasts using Disney’s online forecast system, or using other forms or delivery methods as approved by Disney.  

4.9 Verification of Licensee’s Financial Condition. From time to time, upon request by Disney, Licensee shall furnish to Disney’s Credit Department, no later than seven (7) days after receipt of such request, such financial information, including balance sheets, and statements of income and cash flow, as Disney deems necessary to evaluate Licensee’s ongoing creditworthiness and ability to perform a License Agreement. Licensee shall not be required to provide the foregoing financial information for such verification purposes to the extent it is current in its filings required by the listing rules of a regulated stock exchange on which Licensee is listed (if applicable).

5.1 Online Product Approval. Licensee shall comply with the Product Approval Provisions. Licensee shall retain documentation of all product approvals for the Audit Period.

5.2 Identification/Labeling of Licensed Products. Licensee shall comply with all Laws relating to source identification/labeling of Licensed Products, including, as applicable, identifying the Licensee’s name and address, RN#, and/or country of origin on Licensed Products and/or on its packaging, container, or hang tag. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensee shall identify its name on Licensed Products (such as by marking the item directly or on permanently affixed labeling), even where such marking is not required by Law. In addition, Licensee shall identify its website and/or customer service contact information on the packaging, container, hang tag, or in-packed collateral documentation (such as an instruction manual) for Licensed Products.

5.3 ILS Program. Licensee shall comply with the ILS Program.

5.4 Product Integrity. Licensee shall comply with the Product Integrity Provisions.

5.5 Insurance. Licensee shall comply with the Insurance Provisions.

5.6 Marketing and Advertising Claims. Licensee covenants that all marketing and advertising claims (express or implied) regarding any attribute of Licensed Products that are included on Licensed Products, on or in PA Materials, or otherwise provided by Licensee, shall comply with all Laws, and Licensee shall be solely responsible for ensuring that any such claims (i) are not in any way false or misleading, (ii) comply with claim criteria as established by Laws, and (iii) are accompanied by any disclosure or explanatory statements required by Laws. Licensee shall maintain sufficient records to substantiate all such claims. At Disney’s request, Licensee shall provide to Disney, or its authorized representative, copies of any such records. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee acknowledges that Disney or its Affiliates may publish, advertise, or otherwise communicate such claims in reliance upon the foregoing covenant in connection with the marketing and advertising of Licensed Products.

5.7 E-Waste. Licensee shall comply with the E-Waste Provisions.

	 	    6.RECORDS AND AUDITS. 

6.1 Maintenance and Preservation of Records. During the Audit Period and for the duration of any audit initiated during the Audit Period, Licensee agrees to keep and maintain complete and accurate books and records of all transactions relating to a License Agreement, including, without limitation, wholesale list prices, invoices and other records relating to the following matters: inventory, Sales, calculation of Royalties, deductions (if allowed on any Schedule), shipments to and from Licensee, trade and consumer marketing expenditures, and returns.

6.2 Right of Audit. Disney, or its representatives, shall have the right from time to time, during the Audit Period, during Licensee’s normal business hours, and upon at least ten (10) days prior written communication to Licensee, to conduct an audit to verify Licensee’s (or its Affiliates if they are involved in activities that are the subject of a Licensed Agreement) performance hereunder, including without limitation, examining, copying, making extracts and retaining the same from all records which Disney reasonably deems appropriate to verify the accuracy and completeness of Licensee’s statements and payments hereunder, including by way of example and not limitation, a complete master inventory list (with both Disney and non-Disney SKUs) or any approvals required hereunder. If requested by Disney or its representative (i) the audit may also include an inspection of physical inventory, and (ii) Licensee shall provide data such as Sales, returns and inventory, in electronic form prior to the scheduled audit. If requested by Licensee, Disney or its representatives shall execute a mutually acceptable confidentiality agreement. Disney shall bear the cost of any such audit(s) conducted pursuant to this Section 6.2, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3. With regard to information relating to sales data or royalty payments made or received in relation to third parties not involved with Licensed Products, Licensee may redact the identity of such third parties from such records, provided such information is shown for purposes of overall reconciliation and completeness, and Licensee furnishes sufficient identification of such data and payments to reasonably satisfy Disney that such information is not related to Licensed Products. Without limiting the generality of this Section 6.2, Licensee acknowledges that Disney may furnish Licensee with an audit questionnaire. Licensee agrees to fully and accurately complete such

  

-12-

  

	
questionnaire and return it to Disney within the designated time. Disney’s use of an audit questionnaire shall not limit Disney’s ability to conduct any on-site audit(s) as provided hereinabove.

6.3 Underpayment Remedies. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Disney, if any audit pursuant to the preceding Section 6.2 discloses that Licensee has underpaid to Disney any amounts due in any Royalty Payment Period (i) Licensee shall pay Disney the amount of any such underpayment, together with interest accrued thereon from the date on which such underpayment occurred until the amount thereof is paid at the interest rate set forth in Section 4.4, and

(ii) if such underpayment is in an amount equal to five percent (5%) or more of the amounts reported for such Royalty Payment Period, Licensee shall reimburse Disney for the full and reasonable costs of such audit, including the cost of outside auditors, or, if used, Disney employee auditors (in the latter case, the cost shall be calculated at One Hundred Fifty U.S. Dollars (US $150.00) per hour per person for travel time during normal working hours and actual working time). Overpayment of any amounts does not result in an interest credit. If an audit discloses a payment deficiency of seven percent (7%) or more of the amounts reported for the Royalty Payment Period audited, then in addition to the above, Disney shall have the right to immediately terminate all License Agreements upon written notice to Licensee, even if Licensee tenders the deficiency and associated costs and expenses to Disney. For purposes of calculating the five percent (5%) and seven percent (7%) thresholds hereinabove, any amounts Licensee is required to pay in accordance with Section 9.4 should be included in such calculation.

6.4 Failure to Keep Adequate Records or Permit Audit. If Licensee fails to (i) keep, maintain and/or provide adequate books and records for one (1) or more Royalty Payment Periods or (ii) permit Disney or its representatives to exercise its audit rights, Disney shall be entitled to draw inferences adverse to Licensee and assess the amounts owed by Licensee to Disney in its reasonable discretion, based on, among other factors, the books and records Licensee has kept, if any, market conditions, Disney’s experience selling similar items, and any other reasonable estimates and assumptions Disney deems appropriate.

6.5 Payments and Remedies. Licensee shall make any payment or reimbursement required under this Section 6 within thirty (30) days of

	 	
Disney’s request, or earlier if so requested by Disney. Disney’s acceptance of any payment or reimbursement from Licensee hereunder shall be without prejudice to any legal, equitable, contractual or other right or remedy available to Disney, all of which are cumulative. Nothing contained in a License Agreement shall preclude Disney from any subsequent challenge of Licensee’s Royalty Statements or payments.

 

7. OWNERSHIP.

7.1 Ownership of Licensed Material. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that, as between DEI or its Designee, on the one hand, and Licensee, on the other hand: (i) all proprietary rights in and to Licensed Material, including without limitation, any intellectual property rights pertaining thereto, are exclusively owned by and reserved to DEI or its Designee, (ii) Licensee’s use of Licensed Material shall inure to the benefit of DEI or its Designee,

(iii) Licensee shall only make use of Licensed Material as permitted in a License Agreement, and

(iv) Licensee shall not assert or acquire any proprietary rights in Licensed Material; provided, however, that in the event that Licensee is deemed to have any rights in Licensed Material, Licensee hereby assigns to DEI or its Designee absolutely and exclusively all of Licensee’s right, title and interest in Licensed Material (including, without limitation, all copyrights and renewals thereof, in all media now known or hereafter developed), throughout the Universe in perpetuity (or for the full time period otherwise permitted under local Laws), in all languages. In the event any right, title, or interest in any Licensed Material is not transferred to DEI or its Designee by operation of assignment, Licensee hereby grants to DEI or its Designee an exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, Universe-wide, paid-up, royalty-free and irrevocable license to use, exploit and sublicense any and all Licensed Material and related intellectual property rights, whether or not copyrightable, patentable or otherwise protectable under Laws, in perpetuity (or for the full time period otherwise permitted under local Laws), in all languages.

7.1.1 Disney Design Elements. Without limiting Section 7.1, Licensee further acknowledges and agrees that (i) any and all Disney Design Elements are works made for hire and commissioned works (in accordance with applicable copyright Laws), (ii) DEI or its Designee is the commissioning party for, author of, and owner of all rights in, the Disney

  

-13-

  

 

	
Design Elements, and (iii) all intellectual property rights in the Disney Design Elements shall vest from inception in DEI or its Designee. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it does not own and shall not claim any rights in any Disney Design Elements. To the greatest extent permitted by Laws and in the event any right, title or interest in the Disney Design Elements does not vest from inception in DEI or its Designee and remains vested in Licensee, or if the work made for hire doctrine is not effective, Licensee hereby assigns to DEI or its Designee absolutely and exclusively all of Licensee’s right, title and interest in the Disney Design Elements (including, without limitation, all copyrights and renewals thereof, in all media now known or hereafter developed), throughout the Universe in perpetuity (or for the full time period otherwise permitted under local Laws), in all languages, and undertakes not to exercise any moral rights in any work comprising or contained in any such Disney Design Elements. In the event that any right, title or interest in any Disney Design Elements created by Licensee is not transferred to DEI or its Designee by operation of assignment, Licensee hereby grants to DEI or its Designee an exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, Universe- wide, paid-up, royalty-free and irrevocable license to use, exploit and sublicense any and all Disney Design Elements and related intellectual property rights, whether or not copyrightable, patentable or otherwise protectable under Laws, in perpetuity (or for the full time period otherwise permitted under local Laws), in all languages.

7.1.2 Third Party Contributions. If any third party makes or has made any contribution to the creation of any Disney Design Elements, such contribution shall be deemed a work made for hire and a commissioned work owned by DEI or its Designee from inception, or if the work made for hire doctrine is not effective, shall be duly assigned to DEI or its Designee. Licensee shall require such commissioned party to enter into an agreement providing for ownership by DEI or its Designee of all rights in the contribution. Licensee may use the form of Copyright Agreement included in Section VIII of the Reference Packet, or another document accomplishing the same purpose.  

7.1.3 Covenant of Originality. Licensee represents, warrants and covenants that the Disney Design Elements are and shall be original to Licensee or a third party who has agreed in writing that DEI or its Designee owns such contributions; provided, however, this covenant regarding originality shall not extend to any materials Disney

	 	
supplies to Licensee, but does apply to all derivations, additions, or modifications thereto.

7.1.4 Trademark Assignment. Without limiting Section 7.1 or any subsections thereunder, if Licensee for any reason is found to have obtained any interest in any Trademark (as well as any future trademark rights created by other use of the Trademarks on or in association with Licensed Products), Licensee hereby assigns those rights to DEI or its Designee, together with the goodwill attaching to that part of the business in connection with which such Trademark(s) is used. DEI or its Designee hereby accepts such assignment.

7.2 Intellectual Property Notices. All Licensed Products, PA Materials, and other matter containing Licensed Material shall bear a properly located, permanently affixed intellectual property or other proprietary notice as Disney communicates to Licensee in writing. Licensee shall comply with such instructions as to form, location and content of the notice as Disney may give from time to time. If an improper notice appears on, or if a proper copyright or trademark notice is omitted from, any Licensed Product or other matter containing Licensed Material, Licensee agrees at Licensee’s expense immediately to correct the error on all such Licensed Products or other matter in Licensee’s control or in the process of manufacture.

7.3 Assistance From Licensee. During the Term upon Disney’s request, Licensee agrees to give Disney written confirmation of the first shipment date and shelf date for each SKU of each Licensed Product. During the Term and thereafter, Licensee shall promptly execute and provide to Disney such documents and take such actions as Disney reasonably requests or as are necessary or appropriate under Laws to vest fully any of the rights to Licensed Material in DEI or its Designee. Licensee shall reasonably assist DEI or its Designee in the prosecution, assertion, investigation and/or defense of the rights of DEI or its Designee in Licensed Material, and Licensee shall provide, at reasonable cost to be borne by DEI or its Designee, any evidence, documents and testimony in connection therewith. Licensee shall not oppose or seek to cancel or challenge, in any forum, any intellectual property ownership, application or registration of DEI or its Designee regarding Licensed Material. DEI or its Designee shall have the right, but not any obligation, to enforce intellectual property rights with respect to Licensed Material. Licensee shall not attempt to assert any such rights directly, but may notify Disney of any suspected infringements.

  

-14-

  

  

	
7.4 Withdrawal For Possible Infringement Claim. Disney may withdraw from the scope of a License Agreement any Licensed Material and/or Licensed Products the use or sale of which under a License Agreement would, in Disney’s good faith judgment, infringe or reasonably be claimed to infringe or violate the rights of a third party. In such case, Disney’s obligation to Licensee shall be limited to the purchase of unsaleable Licensed Products at Direct Manufacturing Cost, plus the reasonable cost of shipping such Licensed Products to Disney as approved in advance in writing by Disney. In the case of any material withdrawal pursuant to this Section, the Parties shall discuss in good faith whether or not it is appropriate to adjust any Guarantee(s) to correspond to the time remaining in the Term of the affected Schedule(s), or the number of Licensed Products remaining under such Schedule(s), at the date of withdrawal, taking into account the relative importance of Licensed Material and/or Licensed Products withdrawn based on, among other financial considerations, the Forecasts. This Section 7.4 does not supersede or otherwise limit the Parties’ respective indemnity obligations for third party claims under Section 8. In addition, if Licensee knew or reasonably should have known that its use of Licensed Material or other conduct would infringe a third party’s rights (or reasonably be claimed to infringe or violate a third party’s rights), Disney shall be under no obligation to purchase any Licensed Products or adjust any Guarantee; rather, at Disney’s option, Licensee shall destroy such Licensed Products, providing a certification signed by an officer of Licensee attesting to such destruction, and Disney shall retain all rights and remedies under a License Agreement.

7.5 Licensee’s Ownership of Certain Intellectual Property. Nothing in a License Agreement shall be deemed to grant Disney rights to any trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, manufacturing processes, technology, proprietary techniques or patents owned by Licensee, or used by Licensee under a license from a third party, in connection with Licensed Products or otherwise, which are not Disney Design Elements or otherwise derived or adapted from Licensed Material. 

 

8. INDEMNITY.

 

8.1 Licensee Indemnification. Licensee shall defend and indemnify the Disney Indemnified Entities against and hold them harmless from any and all Claims arising from or relating to any (i)

	 	
actual or alleged breach by Licensee of any agreement, representation, warranty or covenant made in a License Agreement, (ii) allegation or claim that any Licensed Product or PA Materials violates, infringes or misappropriates the rights of any third party, (iii) actual or alleged injury to Person or property alleged to have been caused by any Licensed Product or PA Materials, including, without limitation, claims for product liability, (iv) acts or omissions of Licensee, its officers, directors, employees, agents, subcontractors, or other Person acting on behalf of or in concert with Licensee in connection with a License Agreement, and (v) unauthorized use of Licensed Material.

8.2 Disney Indemnification. Disney shall defend and indemnify the Licensee Indemnified Entities against and hold them harmless from any Claim that Licensee’s use of any representation of Licensed Material approved in accordance with a License Agreement infringes the copyright rights of any third party. Disney shall not be obligated to provide indemnification or have any obligation or liability for any Claim that arises from or relates to Licensee’s failure to obtain the full assignment of rights as referenced in Section 7.1.2, or uses by Licensee of Licensed Material that Licensee knew or reasonably should have known would infringe or violate a third party’s rights.

8.3 Procedures for Indemnification.

8.3.1 A Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) for any Claim shall promptly notify the Party required to provide indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of such Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall control the defense of any Claim for which it accepts indemnification provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party’s choice of counsel must be reasonably acceptable to, and not be in conflict with any interest of, the Indemnified Party, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall consult in a meaningful way with and keep the Indemnified Party informed of the progress of the defense or settlement of the Claim, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise a Claim, make any admission or acknowledgment of liability or wrongdoing, or otherwise take any steps that would prejudice the interests of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party (a) shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s request and reasonable expense, cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in the negotiation, defense or settlement of any Claim and (b) may employ counsel at its own expense in the defense of any Claim.

  

-15-

  

	
Notwithstanding the above, in the event that the Indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of or indemnification for any Claim for which indemnification is required pursuant to this Section

8 within ten (10) business days following the receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party of any such Claim, the Indemnified Party, without waiving any rights hereunder, shall have the full right to defend against and settle any such Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.

8.3.2 Notwithstanding Section 8.3.1, if Disney in its reasonable business judgment determines that the conduct of the defense of any Claim for which it is required to be indemnified might affect adversely the validity or enforceability of any intellectual property rights of DEI or its Designee, Disney shall have the right at all times to take over and assume control of the defense of any such Claim and Licensee shall be responsible for the reasonable expenses of such defense.

8.4 No Trademark Indemnity. Disney gives no warranty or indemnity with respect to any liability or expense arising from any claim that any use of Licensed Material on or in connection with Licensed Products or PA Materials infringes any trademark right of any third party, or otherwise constitutes unfair competition by reason of any prior rights acquired by such third party, except where such prior rights have been acquired from Disney. Disney is relying upon Licensee, and Licensee has the responsibility, to carry out such searches and investigations as are reasonable to establish that Licensed Products and PA Materials manufactured or created under a License Agreement, including any use made of Licensed Material, do not infringe such rights of any third party, and Disney shall not be liable to Licensee if such infringement occurs. 

8.5 No Other Indemnity Obligations. No other obligation for indemnity, whether equitable or otherwise, exists between the Parties except as specified in this Section 8 may terminate a License Agreement at any time if (i) the other Party breaches a material term of a License Agreement and (ii) such breach is not cured within fifteen (15) days following written notice thereof, in accordance with Section 12.5, from the non-breaching Party to the breaching Party. In the case of a non-monetary breach which cannot reasonably be cured within the fifteen (15) day period stated above, the breaching Party shall instead have a thirty (30) day cure period, provided that the breaching Party (a) in good faith begins efforts to cure the breach within the fifteen (15) day period following written notice of the breach and

	 	
(b) thereafter proceeds diligently (but fails) to complete the cure of the specified breach to the non-breaching Party’s satisfaction within the thirty

(30) day period). The foregoing shall be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to the Parties, except as set forth below in Section 9.3.

 

9. TERMINATION.

 

9.1 Mutual Right to Terminate. Either Party

9.2 Immediate Termination. Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to Disney, Disney may at any time terminate a License Agreement effective upon written notice thereof to Licensee in accordance with Section 12.5, upon the occurrence of one (1) or more of the following events (provided, however, that with respect to Section 9.2.3 below such termination shall occur automatically and immediately without the need for any notice):

9.2.1 Licensee manufactures, sells or delivers, without Disney's prior written authorization, any Merchandise containing representations of Licensed Material, or other material proprietary to DEI or its Designee, other than the Licensed Products licensed and approved in accordance with a License Agreement;

9.2.2 Licensee delivers Licensed Products outside the Territory or sells Licensed Products to a third party when Licensee knows or should know in the exercise of prudent business judgment that such sales ultimately will result in delivery outside the Territory, unless pursuant to a written distribution permission or separate written license agreement with Disney or any of Disney's Affiliates;

9.2.3 Licensee fails to generally pay its debts as they become due, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding is instituted by or against Licensee (and is not dismissed within ninety (90) days) seeking to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of any order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or other similar official for all or for any substantial part of its property or assets;

9.2.4 Licensee, due to material changes in its financial position, or for other reasons, is unable to

  

-16-

  

 

	
meet Licensee’s obligations under a License Agreement, or is unable to provide Disney with assurance reasonably satisfactory to Disney that Licensee will be able to meet such obligations;

9.2.5 Licensee assigns or transfers any of its rights, benefits or obligations under a License Agreement in violation of a License Agreement;

9.2.6 Licensee breaches any material term of a License Agreement and the breach is not reasonably capable of being cured;

9.2.7 Licensee breaches the same provision of a License Agreement more than once and Disney gave Licensee written notice of the prior breach under such License Agreement;

9.2.8 Licensee (or any of its Affiliates) breaches any other agreement with Disney (or any of its Affiliates), and Disney (or its Affiliate) has terminated such agreement for cause;

9.2.9 Licensee (or any of its Affiliates) breaches any surviving obligation under any expired or terminated agreement between Disney (or any of its Affiliates) and Licensee (or any of its Affiliates) and such breach has not been cured or waived;

9.2.10 Licensee breaches any provision of the ILS Program; or

9.2.11 Licensee displays, markets, advertises, releases, or otherwise discloses publicly any Restricted Materials in violation of Section 12.2.

9.3 Disney’s Control of Licensed Material. In the event that Disney terminates a License Agreement, Licensee hereby waives any claim for injunctive relief to contest Disney’s determination that a termination event has occurred or to otherwise affect Disney’s full and absolute control of Licensed Material and Licensee hereby waives any right to any such determination; provided, however, nothing in this Section shall preclude Licensee from bringing an action for damages, but prior to and during any such action, Disney shall have full and absolute control over Licensed Material. Disney may suffer material and irreparable damage if Licensee breaches or threatens to breach a License Agreement, including if Licensee continues to manufacture, offer for sale, sell, advertise, promote or distribute Licensed Products upon the expiration or termination of a License Agreement, and Disney may have no adequate remedy at law because it may be difficult or impossible to establish the full and precise monetary value of such damage. Licensee agrees that, in addition to any and all other remedies available to Disney, Disney shall have the right to seek to have any such activity by Licensee restrained by appropriate judicial relief, including,

	 	
but not limited to, a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction, a permanent injunction, or such other alternative relief as may be appropriate, without the necessity of Disney posting any bond.

9.4 Additional Payments for Unauthorized Sales. In addition to and without waiving any other rights or remedies available to Disney, including without limitation, termination of a License Agreement, if Licensee breaches a License Agreement by engaging in Unauthorized Sales, Licensee shall pay to Disney the Gross Invoiced Billings or the Consumer Sales, as applicable, on any such Unauthorized Sales. Licensee shall make such payments to Disney together with interest accrued thereon from the date on which such Unauthorized Sales occurred until the amount thereof is paid at the interest rate set forth in Section 4.4, immediately upon written request by Disney, and no such payments shall apply against any Guarantee. 

 

10. EFFECT OF EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF LICENSE AGREEMENT.

10.1 Reversion of Rights to Disney. Upon the expiration of the Term, or upon the effective date of termination if a License Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 9: (i) Licensee shall cease any and all uses of Licensed Material, including without limitation, any manufacturing (including without limitation by Facilities), advertising, sale and distribution (subject to Section 10.4) of Licensed Products, (ii) all rights granted to Licensee under a License Agreement shall revert to Disney, and (iii) Disney shall be entitled to retain all monies paid to Disney. If Disney terminates a License Agreement prior to the expiration of the Term pursuant to Section 9, all unpaid Royalties, and Guarantees (or portions thereof) shall become immediately due and payable. If Licensee terminates a License Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1 because of a material, uncured breach by Disney, and Licensee is in full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of a License Agreement, Licensee shall not be required to pay any unpaid Guarantee obligation applicable to the remaining Term from and after the date of termination. Upon a withdrawal of rights by Disney pursuant to a License Agreement: (a) Licensee shall immediately cease any and all uses of and activities within (as applicable) such withdrawn Licensed Material, Licensed Product, Property, Distribution Channel and/or country(ies) of the Territory, (b) all rights granted to Licensee with respect thereto shall

  

-17-

  

	
revert to Disney, and (c) Disney shall be entitled to retain all monies paid to Disney with respect thereto.

10.2 Disposition of Reproduction Materials; Return or Destruction of Licensed Material. Upon the expiration of the Term or Sell-Off Period (if applicable), or if a License Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 9, upon the effective date of such termination, Licensee shall (i) at Disney’s option, either (a) transfer to Disney or its designated representative, physical possession of any and all Reproduction Materials (and/or cause its Facilities to do so), or (b) destroy, efface or delete (as applicable) all Reproduction Materials,

(ii) return to Disney all artwork, Style Guides, or other items containing Licensed Material, and (iii) destroy any unsold inventory of Licensed Products in Licensee’s possession or control (subject to Section 10.5). Licensee shall furnish to Disney a certificate, signed by an officer of Licensee, attesting to any destruction provided in the preceding sentence. If Disney requires the transfer of physical possession of the tooling, molds, or plates, Licensee shall be paid an amount equal to the original direct cost of the tooling, molds or plates, less a reasonable amount for wear and tear, as determined by Disney in its commercially reasonable discretion.

10.3 Inventory Statement. Within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Term (and again upon expiration), or if a License Agreement is earlier terminated, upon the effective date of such termination, Licensee shall provide Disney with a full written statement of any then-existing unsold inventory of Licensed Products in Licensee’s possession or control, and any additional information reasonably requested by Disney. During the Pre-Expiration Period, Licensee’s sales of Licensed Products shall be limited to the Pre- Expiration Sales Cap. In the event that Licensee sells Licensed Products in excess of the Pre- Expiration Sales Cap, Licensee shall pay Disney the Gross Invoiced Billings on such excess sales and such amount shall in no event apply against any Guarantee.  

10.4 Sell-Off Period. If Licensee has complied with all of the terms and conditions of a License Agreement, including without limitation, providing written inventory statements to Disney at the times prescribed in Section 10.3, then, subject to Disney’s prior written consent, Licensee shall have the non- exclusive right during the Sell-Off Period to sell off such inventory of Licensed Products; provided however, that Licensee’s shipment volume of

	 	
Licensed Products during the Sell-Off Period shall not exceed the volume shipped during the corresponding time period of the previous year. Licensee shall furnish Disney with a Royalty Statement and pay all Royalties in respect of such Sales in accordance with a License Agreement. All rights and remedies available to Disney during the Term shall be equally available to Disney during the Sell-Off Period. Licensee shall cease all Sales of Licensed Products upon the expiration of the Sell-Off Period, and destroy any unsold inventory of Licensed Products in Licensee’s possession or control (subject to Section 10.5). Licensee shall furnish to Disney a certificate, signed by an officer of Licensee attesting to any destruction provided in the preceding sentence. However, Licensee may retain sufficient inventory to comply with ongoing warranty obligations to consumers for Licensed Products, if applicable.

10.5 Disposition of Inventory. Upon the expiration of the Term or Sell-Off Period (if applicable), or if a License Agreement is earlier terminated, upon the effective date of such termination, Disney and its Affiliates shall have the right, but not the obligation, to take possession of, or require Licensee to deliver to Disney (to a location within the Territory designated by Disney) at no cost to Disney any unsold inventory of Licensed Products remaining in Licensee’s possession or control.

 

11. NON-ASSIGNABILITY.  

11.1 No License Transfer Without Consent. Each License Agreement, and the license granted to Licensee, are personal to Licensee, who was specifically chosen by Disney to be licensed because of Licensee’s and certain of Licensee’s employees’ particular expertise and ability to design, produce and sell Licensed Products in ways that maximize the value of Licensed Products, and to otherwise perform a License Agreement. Licensee shall not authorize, cause or otherwise engage in, or be subject to, any License Transfer without Disney's prior written consent, to be granted or withheld in Disney's absolute discretion. Any purported License Transfer without such consent shall be deemed null and void and shall result in the automatic and immediate termination of a License Agreement as of the date of the License Transfer.

11.2 Notice of Proposed License Transfer; Transfer Fee. Licensee shall provide Disney with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any

  

-18-

  

	
proposed License Transfer, and concurrently therewith, such information and documentation as is reasonably necessary to enable Disney to evaluate the proposed License Transfer. Disney’s consent (if given) may be subject to such terms and conditions as Disney deems appropriate, including without limitation, payment of a Transfer Fee to Disney. Such Transfer Fee represents compensation to Disney for: (i) the risk of business interruption, or loss of quality or control Disney may suffer as a result of the License Transfer, (ii) potential risks relating to the identity, reputation, creditworthiness, financial condition and/or business capabilities of the Person involved in the License Transfer, (iii) the value of a License Agreement in terms of the total consideration received by Licensee in connection with the License Transfer, and (iv) Disney’s internal costs related to the License Transfer. A Transfer Fee shall not be required if a License Agreement is assigned to one of Licensee’s Affiliates as part of a corporate reorganization exclusively among some or all of the entities existing in Licensee’s corporate structure as of the Effective Date of such License Agreement; provided, however, that Licensee gives Disney written notice of such assignment and a description of the reorganization, and obtains Disney’s consent to the assignment as provided in Section 11.1.

11.3 Conditions for Affiliate Sublicensing. In the event Disney consents, pursuant to Sections  11.1 and 11.2, to a sublicense by Licensee to an Affiliate of Licensee, then Licensee represents, warrants and covenants that (i) Licensee shall require such Affiliate to perform the sublicensed rights and/or obligations subject to, and in compliance with, all terms, conditions, and restrictions of a License Agreement (including, without limitation, (a) the right of Disney, or its representatives, to audit such Affiliate and (b) those obligations which by their nature would continue beyond the termination or expiration of a License Agreement), (ii) each such Affiliate shall (a) execute such further agreements between them as may be necessary or appropriate to formalize the sublicense and (b) upon Disney’s request, provide Disney with copies of such agreements or any further documentation, guaranties, and/or indemnifications Disney may require, (iii) Licensee shall at all times remain directly liable to Disney for the full and complete performance of Licensee’s rights and obligations under a License Agreement, notwithstanding any sublicense or any direct right of action that Disney may have against such Affiliate, and (iv) Licensee shall not sublicense to

	 	
such Affiliate any of Licensee’s obligations under a License Agreement to submit to Disney any payments, reports, notices and/or requests for approvals or consents. In the event that Disney consents to a sublicense to an Affiliate of Licensee in accordance with this Section 11, any such sublicense shall automatically expire (or earlier terminate), without any further action required, upon the expiration (or earlier termination) of a License Agreement.  

12. GENERAL.  

12.1 Amendments. No provision of a License Agreement may be modified, supplemented or amended except by a written instrument duly executed by each of the Parties thereto; provided, however, a unilateral notice may be issued by one Party to the other in connection with a change of address, and in the case of uncontroversial amendments such as adding a Licensed Product, Licensed Material, Territory, or Distribution Channel, or extending the Sell-Off Period, upon which both Parties have agreed, Disney may send such amendment to Licensee and if Licensee does not object in writing to such amendment within ten (10) calendar days of the date of Licensee’s receipt of such amendment, then a License Agreement shall be deemed amended thereby, effective as of the effective date of such amendment. Any amendment to increase a Royalty Rate, or Guarantee must be signed by both Parties.

12.2 Confidential Information. Licensee agrees not to use or disclose to any third party any Confidential Information without obtaining Disney’s prior written consent; provided, however, a License Agreement may be disclosed on a need- to-know basis to Licensee’s attorneys and accountants who agree to be bound by this confidentiality provision.

12.2.1 Exceptions to Confidentiality. The obligations of confidentiality contained in a License Agreement shall not apply to information which: (i) is in the public domain, (ii) comes into the public domain other than due to a fault on the part of Licensee and/or its Affiliates, (iii) is received by Licensee from a third party who did not receive it in confidence, or (iv) is necessarily disclosed pursuant to a statutory or regulatory obligation, or to comply with the valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction, in which event Licensee shall notify Disney in advance and seek confidential treatment of such information. 

12.2.2 Term of Confidentiality Obligation. The

  

-19-

  

 

	
  

obligations of confidentiality shall remain in full force and effect for a period of three (3) years following the expiration or earlier termination of a License Agreement.

12.2.3 Confidential Information and Introduction to the Trade of Restricted Materials. Licensee shall not, without prior written consent of Disney, display, market, advertise, release, or otherwise disclose publicly, including without limitation, to retailers, distributors or sales accounts, any Restricted Materials prior to the dates such Restricted Materials are authorized for release by Disney in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may use Restricted Materials that are clearly and permanently watermarked with Licensee’s name at trade shows and at presentations to sales accounts prior to the dates specified by Disney provided such watermarked Restricted Materials are retained by Licensee and not permitted to be photographed by the person(s) with whom the Restricted Materials are shared. Licensee acknowledges and accepts that it shall be responsible for ensuring that no Restricted Materials are displayed, released, or otherwise disclosed publicly either by Licensee or by anyone else prior to the date authorized by Disney in writing. In the event that any Restricted Materials are displayed, released, or otherwise disclosed to the public prior to the dates specified in writing by Disney, in addition to all other options and remedies available to Disney hereunder, Disney may immediately terminate a License Agreement on written notice.

12.3 Preservation of Disney’s Goodwill. The rights and powers retained by Disney, and the limitations and obligations placed on Licensee, are necessary to protect the Licensed Material and all intellectual property rights associated therewith, including without limitation, the preservation of the goodwill and good name of the Disney Entities. Therefore, Licensee shall not engage in actions that would impair the legal status, or detract from or impugn the public acceptance and popularity thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee agrees to refrain from any action or inaction that would reduce or negatively affect the goodwill of the Disney Entities or associated with the Licensed Material. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that such prohibited conduct includes the production, marketing, advertising, sale or use of any Licensed Products: (i) in any manner that is inconsistent with the family values associated with the Licensed Material or the Disney Entities, (ii) in any manner that disparages Licensed Products or the Disney

	 	
Entities, including by engaging in the practice of “dumping” any Licensed Products, and/or (iii) in any manner that does not make clear that the Licensed Material is owned or co-owned by or licensed to the Disney Entities. In addition, Licensee agrees that it will not produce, market, advertise or sell items of Merchandise embodying or bearing any artwork or other representation that Disney determines, in its reasonable discretion, is confusingly similar to the Licensed Material (or other proprietary material owned or co-owned by or licensed to the Disney Entities) so as to suggest association with or sponsorship by any of the Disney Entities. In addition, Licensee shall not use or co-mingle with the Licensed Material or Licensed Products, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep others from using or co- mingling with the Licensed Material and Licensed Products, any other characters or properties (and related intellectual property), whether owned by Licensee or a third party, in a manner that suggests association with or sponsorship by any of the Disney Entities. Licensee shall, in connection with its duty to use the Licensed Material so as to promote the continuing goodwill thereof, give immediate attention and take necessary action to satisfy all legitimate customer complaints brought against Licensee in connection with Licensed Products or PA Materials. Licensee shall give Disney immediate notice of all complaints that might materially affect the good standing of the Licensed Material or the reputation of Disney, including any complaints that might result in legal action between Disney and any third party, and cooperate with Disney upon request to achieve reasonable solutions that preserve the goodwill and reputation of Disney and the Licensed Material. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it is extremely difficult to fix actual damages which may proximately arise from the dumping of any Licensed Products. In the event Licensee engages in such dumping, Licensee shall immediately pay Disney the amount obtained by multiplying (i) the highest Royalty Rate specified in a Schedule, (ii) the highest selling price charged by Licensee for such Licensed Products, and (iii) the number of Licensed Products dumped. The payment of such amount (a) shall be payable as liquidated damages, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Disney, including without limitation, the right to seek injunctive relief, (b) by Licensee, and its acceptance by Disney, shall not mean that such dumping activity is thereby licensed by Disney or that any future dumping by Licensee is

  

-20-

  

 

	  

shall not apply against any Guarantee. As used in this Section 12.3, “dumping” shall mean the distribution of Licensed Products at volume levels significantly above Licensee’s prior sales practices with respect to the Licensed Products, and at price levels so far below prior sales practices with respect to the Licensed Products as to suggest that the Licensed Products are second-rate, low quality, low value, unwanted or counterfeit products so as to disparage Disney or the Licensed Products.

12.4 Waivers. No release, discharge or waiver of any provision of a License Agreement shall be enforceable against or binding upon either Party unless in writing and executed by a duly-authorized officer of the Party. Neither the failure to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms or conditions thereof, nor, in the case of Disney, the acceptance of monies or Royalty Statements due thereunder, shall be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies or a waiver of any breach or default of any kind or nature.

12.5 Notices. All notices either Party is required to send to the other Party in connection with a License Agreement shall be transmitted in writing and shall be deemed served (i) when hand delivered, (ii) when transmitted by email, (iii) upon delivery when sent by express mail, courier, overnight mail or other commercially recognized delivery service, charges prepaid, (iv) five (5) business days following the date mailed when sent by United States mail, postage prepaid, or (v) two (2) business days following the date of transmission (with delivery confirmation) when sent by facsimile transmission, addressed as provided in a Schedule. Either Party may designate a different address by written notice to the other in accordance with this Section 12.5. Requests for approvals of Licensed Products at any stage shall be made through OPA, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Disney. Other requests by Licensee to Disney for approvals or consents required under a License Agreement, and responses by Disney thereto, may be communicated by email unless Disney requests a hard copy of any submission.

12.6 Entire Agreement. The provisions of a License Agreement (including the Schedule(s), Attachment(s) to the Schedule(s) and the Reference Packet) contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof, and a License Agreement supersedes and replaces any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements and negotiations between the Parties, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter

	 	  

thereof. No statement or inducement with respect to the subject matter thereof by any Party or by any agent or representative of any Party which is not contained in a License Agreement shall be valid or binding between the Parties.

12.7 Relationship of Parties; No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Parties hereby acknowledge that their relationship is that of licensor and licensee and that nothing herein is intended or shall be construed or deemed to create, or to express an intent to create, a partnership, joint venture, fiduciary, employment, franchise or agency relationship of any kind or nature whatsoever between the Parties. Nothing in a License Agreement is intended or shall be deemed to confer any rights or benefits upon any Person other than the Parties thereto, or to make or render any such other Person a third-party beneficiary of a License Agreement, except to the extent that an Affiliate of either Party, or any officer, director, or employee of a Party or its Affiliate, has any rights, including a right to be indemnified, under a License Agreement.

12.8 Construction. Each License Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated by the Parties thereto and their respective counsel. In interpreting a License Agreement, no weight shall be placed upon which Party thereto or its counsel drafted the provision being interpreted. In addition, there shall be no presumption made or inference drawn because of the drafting history of a License Agreement, or because of the inclusion or deletion of a provision not contained in a prior draft.

12.9 Severability. If any term or provision of a License Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such term or provision shall be deemed to be severable from the other terms and provisions thereof, and the remainder of a License Agreement shall be given effect as if the Parties had not included the severed term or provision therein.

12.10 Approvals. To be valid, any approval by Disney under a License Agreement must be in writing or through OPA. Disney may grant or deny any approvals in its absolute discretion.

12.11 Computer System Security and Remote Access Requirements. In the event that Licensee is provided direct or remote access to any Disney Computer System by any method, Licensee agrees to comply with all of the requirements described in Section IX of the Reference Packet. If Licensee is supplied with a password to gain access to any Disney Computer System, Licensee agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the password. Licensee agrees that Disney may monitor

  

-21-

  

 

	  

Licensee’s use of the password, and Licensee agrees to provide all required legal notifications to its employees regarding same, as well as to comply with all privacy and other Laws in the circumstances. If any of Licensee’s employees leave employment, Licensee immediately shall disable such employee’s email address from any access to any Disney Computer System. Licensee shall only access Disney Computer Systems for the limited purpose of fulfilling its obligations under a License Agreement. Such access shall be limited to that period of time necessary for Licensee to accomplish this purpose under a License Agreement. Licensee acknowledges that Disney retains the right to terminate access to any Disney Computer System at any time, in its absolute discretion without any liability to Licensee. Any violation of the Computer System Security and Remote Access Requirements or unauthorized use of or access to a Disney Computer System by Licensee’s employees, subcontractors or agents shall constitute a breach of a material term of a License Agreement.

12.12 Governing Law and Venue. A License Agreement shall be deemed to be an executory agreement entered into in the State of California and shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the Laws of the State of California applicable to agreements made and to be fully performed in California without regard to any choice of law principles or statutes thereof. Any legal proceeding arising in connection with a License Agreement shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Los Angeles County courts and Licensee hereby waives any defenses or objections based on lack of jurisdiction, improper venue, and/or forum non conveniens.  

12.13 Limitation of Liability. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any punitive, exemplary, consequential, incidental, indirect or special damages, or lost profits; provided, however, that (i) a claim by Disney for any unpaid Guarantee(s) shall not be deemed a claim for lost profits or otherwise be barred under this Section 12.13, and (ii) the limitation on damages shall not apply to a Party’s indemnity obligations under Section 8. If, as a result of a Claim for which Disney indemnifies Licensee pursuant to Section 8.2, Licensee cannot sell Licensed Products containing any representation of Licensed Material approved by Disney in accordance with a License Agreement, Disney’s obligation to Licensee in respect of the unsaleable Licensed Products shall be limited to the purchase of such unsaleable Licensed Products at

	 	  

Direct Manufacturing Cost.  

12.14 Conflicting Terms. In the event of any conflict between a Schedule and the Standard Terms and Conditions, the terms of such Schedule shall prevail.

12.15 Survival. The provisions of a License Agreement which, by their nature, are intended to survive the expiration or termination of a License Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of a License Agreement indefinitely or for such shorter period of time as may be set forth in any such provision.

12.16 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. A License Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile or PDF signatures to a License Agreement shall be effective.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have executed and delivered, by their duly authorized representatives, the Standard Terms and Conditions as of the date first written above:

Licensee agrees to increase its current irrevocable letter of credit from the amount of $133,000.00 to the amount of $209,000.00 and to extend the expiration date thereof to no earlier than August 31, 2017.

Such irrevocable letter of credit shall secure payment of Licensee’s obligations hereunder and under any other prior, concurrent or subsequent agreement between the Parties (in addition to any and all separate letters of credit that may be in place regarding such agreement(s)), in all respects satisfactory to Disney. In the event of one (1) or more partial draws on such letter of credit, Licensee agrees to restore it to the original amount within fifteen (15) days after the partial draw(s).

I. New Media Protocols

These New Media Protocols (the “Protocols”), along with any applicable Disney license agreement, govern your use or display of any names, trademarks, copyrights, brands, logos, properties, fanciful characters and/or any other intellectual property of Disney (collectively, the “Disney Materials”), to advertise, promote or sell Disney Products via any digital or interactive medium (including websites, social media platforms, applications, mobile operating systems and other online media now known or hereafter devised (collectively, the “New Media Platforms”). The Protocols do not supersede the provisions of any Disney license agreement or applicable law, rule or regulation. Compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations is always required. 1 For purposes of the Protocols, “Disney” means Disney and its affiliates, licensors or assignees. “Disney Products” means any product produced by or on behalf of Disney or produced under a Disney license.

 

A. General Obligations

You shall not, without the prior written approval of Disney, nor may you permit others to:

· Use, post or upload any text, pictures, photographs, video, audio, artwork, film or television clips, trailers or any other content which contains or references Disney Materials. Approval, if granted, is limited to display of the content and not any other purpose, including but not limited to, reproduction of, or creating derivative works based on, any Disney Materials.

· Purport to speak, tweet, blog or otherwise communicate on behalf of or impersonate any character, employee, officer or director of Disney.

· Commingle Disney characters and icons with non-Disney characters and icons.

· Position any New Media Platform as owned, operated or endorsed by Disney. Any approved use of Disney Materials must contain a content balance so that the consumer knows it is not a New Media Platform operated by Disney. However, referencing or linking to a New Media Platform operated by Disney (e.g., a Disney website) or creating a Disney section (with Disney’s approval) within a website or webpage is permitted, provided it otherwise complies with the Protocols.

· Use Disney Materials as a sole means to drive traffic to a New Media Platform, other than to sell the Disney Products that are being advertised.

· Use the Disney Materials or advertise Disney-licensed consumer products on any website that (i) encourages or commits infringement of intellectual property rights, or (ii) is identified to you in writing by Disney from time to time (the “Restricted Sites”). Disney may identify the Restricted Sites and/or best practices for placing advertisements on websites (e.g., utilizing ad safety

 

1 One set of guidelines to be aware of, among others, is the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising” effective December 2009 (the “FTC Guides”). The FTC Guides generally require the clear and prominent disclosure of compensation or other benefits received from a company when an individual or entity reviews or otherwise comments on that company’s products or services in blogs, websites, social networking sites or other media. The FTC Guides require that statements will be accurate and not misleading. The FTC Guides are intended to promote accuracy and help consumers evaluate the credibility of commentary. The FTC Guides contain notification requirements that may apply. Further information about the FTC Guides can be found on the Federal Trade Commission’s website at www.FTC.gov.

software) (the “Best Practices”) to you either directly or through the disneyconsumerproducts.com website (or its successor website, if any). Disney reserves the right to modify the list of Restricted Sites and/or Best Practices from time to time, and may provide such notice of changes to the list of Restricted Sites and Best Practices to you directly or through disneyconsumerproducts.com.

· Sell, or permit others to sell, non-Disney products or services together with Disney Products under a “Disney” brand heading

 

· Use Disney Materials to sell ad space or other advertising.

 

· Use or register names relating to Disney Materials in Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) or email addresses without prior written approval by Disney. However, you may use a URL containing a name related to Disney Materials without prior written approval if the name related to the Disney Materials appearsfollowingthebackslash(e.g., www.yourcompanyname.com/disneyprincess) on a site owned and operated by you and provided it otherwise complies with the Protocols (this permission does not extend to social media sites, e.g., Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest). Additionally, at the request of Disney, you shall immediately transfer to Disney any URLs or email addresses that contain names relating to the Disney Materials, whether such use or registration was authorized or unauthorized by Disney.

 

· Bid on or purchase keywords for paid search advertising that include or are based on the Disney Materials without prior written approval from Disney (e.g., Google AdWords, True View or Promoted Videos, ads on Facebook or similar advertising products on social media websites or otherwise online).

· Permit Disney Materials to appear on New Media Platforms offering or linking to alcohol, tobacco, firearms, pornographic or adult-themed material, gambling or drugs, or that otherwise impugn, detract from or disparage the goodwill of the Disney Materials.

· Use any Disney animation, moving image clip, trailer, video or music (including lyrics and song titles), audio/visual work, or any non-character Disney talent name, voice or likeness.

· Position Disney Products for sale on a “limited availability”, “last time available”, “two-for-the-price-of-one”, “free with purchase” basis, or by similar descriptions that may imply collectability or scarcity (except in cases of Disney-approved limited edition programs).

 

B. Additional Obligations for New Media Promotions

For purposes of the Protocols, a “New Media Promotion” means any publicizing, sponsoring or administering of a sweepstakes, contest, competition, promotion or other similar offering that may or may not involve a winner or a prize and which involves, in whole or in part, a Disney Product or any Disney branding, via any New Media Platform. With respect to New Media Promotions:

· As with all of your promotions, you are responsible for the lawful operation of your New Media Promotions, including the official rules, offer terms an eligibility requirements (e.g., age and residency restrictions), and compliance with regulations governing the promotion and all prizes offered in connection with the promotion (e.g., registration and obtaining necessary regulatory approvals). Disney’s approval of the official rules or promotional materials related to the New Media Promotion does not relieve you of any of the obligations in the Protocols or other requirements under law. You acknowledge that compliance with the Protocols does not constitute the lawfulness of a New Media Promotion.

  

-48-

  

 

· You agree to comply with applicable terms and conditions of use, guidelines and policies for the New Media Platforms on which you conduct your New Media Promotion (e.g., Facebook’s Promotions Guidelines) and any review or approval provided by Disney is expressly conditioned upon your compliance.

· If a New Media Promotion contains an element that requires users to submit user generated content via any New Media Platform, you must moderate the user generated content according to Disney brand standards and the approval provisions of the applicable Disney license agreement.

· When applicable, you shall draft official rules for each New Media Promotion and submit them to Disney for review and written approval prior to the start date of such New Media Promotion. The official rules must include at least the following provisions: (1) if the New Media Promotion involves user generated content, a statement that each participant represents and warrants that participant has all rights to use and license all aspects of the user generated content and agrees to indemnify Disney, and other releasees identified by Disney, for all claims relating to copyright, trademark and right of publicity, (2) a statement that each participant grants you and Disney an unlimited, worldwide license to use the user generated content in perpetuity, in any and all media now known or hereinafter developed throughout the universe, and (3) a statement that each participant has no expectation of receiving compensation above that which may be awarded as a prize if participant is a winner of a New Media Promotion.

 

 

Additionally, you shall not publicize, sponsor or administer any New Media Promotion if:

 

· You are not able or willing to comply with the Protocols.

 

· To do so would require you to agree to terms and conditions of use or a similar agreement that would be inconsistent with any applicable Disney license agreement by which you are bound (including the Protocols) or otherwise put you in breach of any Disney license agreement.

 

· The New Media Promotion is open to individuals who are under the age of thirteen (13), unless: (1) all legal responsibilities of a minor (as defined by state or province of primary residence) will be assumed by a parent or legal guardian, (2) a minor winner’s prize is awarded to the parent or legal guardian for the benefit of the minor, (3) the appropriate type of parental consent is obtained (when required) and you otherwise comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations related to minors, including but not limited to COPPA.

  

-49-

  

 

· You create a New Media Promotion targeted primarily to minors, and such Internet Promotion involves a New Media Platform for which the minors do not meet the applicable minimum age required to participate on such New Media Platform.

 

· The New Media Promotion, any user generated content, or any prize involves any of the following product categories: alcohol, tobacco, firearms, pornographic or adult-themed material, gambling, drugs or any other category Disney deems impugns, detracts from or disparages the goodwill of the Disney Materials.

 

C. Promotional Materials Produced By You for Use by Disney

 

If you produce videos and/or other content (e.g., photographs), which contain any third-party content (in addition to the Disney Materials) and you furnish such content to Disney for its use on a New Media Platform, you agree that:

 

· You shall, at your sole expense, obtain all necessary approvals, permissions and/or licenses in connection with all aspects of videos and other content and (excluding Disney Materials approved by Disney), including but not limited to those required for use of: (1) any names, voices or likenesses, (2) any third party material, copyrighted or trademarked work, and (3) any musical compositions and musical recordings (e.g., from the appropriate music publisher or collection society, or from the applicable actor). Further, you represent and warrant that (a) the consent of no other person, firm, corporation, or labor organization is required to grant the license to Disney, (b) that use on the New Media Platform will not violate or infringe upon the trademark, service mark, trade dress, copyright, artistic, and/or other rights of any third parties, and (c) that you have obtained, at your expense, all necessary music permissions and that you are responsible for making any payments required in connection with the use of any music used in the videos.

 

D. Modifications

 

Disney may modify the Protocols from time to time. The most current version of the Protocols will be posted on disneyconsumerproducts.com (or its successor website, if any).

Product Approval Provisions

 

Where applicable in a License Agreement, the determination of whether a Licensed Product or a component of a Licensed Product is a “food” item or a “non food” item shall be made in Disney’s absolute discretion. By way of example only, a Licensed Product or a component of a Licensed Product with an edible element (i.e., fit for human consumption and suitable to eat) would be considered a “food” item.

Licensee agrees to comply with (1) all directions from Disney, including, without limitation, those included in any Style Guide(s) for any Properties included in the Licensed Material, (2) the product approval process designated by Disney (including, if required, the OPA process), and (3) the following:

A.           Concepts, Final Art Color and Sculpts. Before commercial production of any Licensed Product, Licensee shall submit for Disney’s review and approval (1) all concepts, preliminary and proposed final artwork, and 3-dimensional sculpts which are to appear on or in any SKU and/or Product Code of the Licensed Product and (2) if the Licensed Product or any component of a Licensed Product is a food item, a list of the proposed technical specifications of the (a) packaging or container for the Licensed Product and (b) edible food item of the Licensed Product, including, without limitation, any labeling statements (e.g., the proposed ingredient list, nutritional declaration, and product claims), ingredient sources, a nutritional analysis, quality and microbiological standards, packaging or container formats, attributes of the food item (e.g., taste, color, shape, and texture), and product claims. (The foregoing subclause (2) shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Product Technical Specifications”, and the foregoing subclauses (1) and (2) shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Concepts”.) All Licensed Products using any editorial must include character artwork. Any Concept(s) of any SKU and/or Product Code of a Licensed Product not approved by Disney through OPA or otherwise in writing shall be deemed disapproved and unlicensed and shall not be manufactured or sold.  If approved, Licensee may proceed to the pre-production phase.

B.           Pre-Production Samples.  Licensee shall submit for Disney’s review and approval a rendering of a pre-production sample of each SKU and/or Product Code of each Licensed Product. If the Licensed Product or any component of a Licensed Product is a food item Licensee additionally shall submit with each pre-production sample of each SKU and/or Product Code of each Licensed Product analytical results and other appropriate evidence, including an independent nutritional analysis of the food item from a testing laboratory accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 (a “Qualified Laboratory”), substantiating that the food item, the ingredient list, the nutritional declaration, and any product claims (the “Descriptors”) comply with the Product Technical Specifications and applicable Laws (the foregoing shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Pre- Production Submissions”).  Any pre-production sample of a SKU and/or Product Code of a Licensed Product not approved by Disney through OPA or otherwise in writing shall be deemed disapproved and unlicensed and shall not be manufactured or sold. If the pre- production sample of a SKU and/or Product Code and the Pre-Production Submission(s) are approved, Licensee may proceed to the production phase.

C.           Production Samples. Before selling a Licensed Product to  any  customer, Licensee agrees to furnish to Disney, from the first production run of each supplier of each of the Licensed Products, the number of Samples specified on a Schedule, which shall conform to the approved Concepts, pre-production sample, and Pre-Production Submission(s). A Sample of any SKU and/or Product Code of a Licensed Product not approved by Disney, or its authorized representative, through OPA or otherwise  in writing shall be deemed disapproved and unlicensed and shall not be manufactured or sold.   No test runs, seconds or irregulars may be sold without Disney’s prior written

 

 

 

  

-52-

  

 

approval and, unless approved for sale by Disney, Licensee must destroy all such test runs, seconds or irregulars. No modification of an approved production Sample shall be made without Disney’s prior written approval. If there is any change to the formulation, recipe or method of manufacture that materially affects a food item of a  Licensed Product, then such change must be confirmed by Disney in writing, the Final Product Technical Specifications must be amended accordingly, and analytical results and other appropriate evidence (including an independent nutritional analysis of the food item from a Qualified Laboratory) confirming compliance with the amended Final Product Technical Specifications must be resubmitted to Disney.

 

D.           PA Materials. Before any use, Licensee shall submit for Disney’s review and approval through OPA or otherwise in writing, all PA Materials, including any packaging, labels, hang tags, advertising (including without limitation, television advertising, public statements or messages, texts, tweets, blogs and/or SMS messages), press releases, containers, display materials, catalogs, website pages or references, and promotional materials. Licensee shall, at its sole expense, obtain all necessary approvals and clearances in connection with any advertising.

 

E.           Marketing and Advertising Restrictions on Treats Licensed Products. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in a License Agreement, with respect to food Licensed Products and components of food Licensed Products that are classified as “Treats” under the Nutritional Guidelines, Licensee shall not (1) market, promote or advertise the sale of such Licensed Product(s) through television or radio or (2) primarily direct any marketing, promotion or advertising for the sale of such Licensed Product(s) to children under eighteen (18) years of age in any medium.

 

F.           Timing. Disney shall respond to all requests for approvals under a License Agreement as quickly as reasonably possible, with a goal of ten (10) to fifteen (15) business days. If Disney has not approved or disapproved a submission within that time period, the submission shall be deemed disapproved. To be valid, any approval must be granted by Disney through OPA or otherwise in writing. Disney may grant or deny any approvals in its absolute discretion.

Any SKU and/or Product Code of a Licensed Product, or any PA Materials, not approved by Disney through OPA or otherwise in writing shall be deemed disapproved and unlicensed, and any such SKU and/or Product Code of a Licensed Product shall not be manufactured or sold. Any approvals given by Disney under a License Agreement, whether creative or otherwise, shall not constitute or imply any opinion by Disney that the approved Licensed Product(s) or any components thereof or any PA Materials (1) comply with applicable Laws (including, without limitation, unfair competition laws) or (2) do not infringe the rights of any third party. Any approvals given by Disney do not supersede or otherwise limit Licensee’s indemnity obligations under a License Agreement. In addition, approvals given by Disney do not constitute (a) permission to produce Merchandise not expressly authorized pursuant to a fully-executed License Agreement with Disney or (b) an amendment to or modification of a License Agreement.

IV.

	
Product Integrity Provisions

 

A.           No Adulteration of Food Licensed Products and Animal Welfare. Licensee covenants that any food Licensed Product and/or food component of a Licensed Product introduced or delivered for introduction into commerce shall be safe for human consumption, prepared under sanitary conditions, not adulterated, and shall comply with all Laws governing the introduction or delivery for introduction into commerce of food products. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee further covenants that, with respect to any Licensed Product made in whole or in part from meat or poultry, (1) the animals shall be handled, slaughtered, and processed using humane methods and under sanitary conditions in accordance with Laws and (2) during each calendar year during the Term, or more frequently upon Disney’s request, Licensee shall submit to Disney an animal welfare audit report of an independent, third party audit agency certified by the Professional Auditor Certification Organization or equivalent body, which measures the animals’ welfare against good management practices recommended by a national organization such as the American Meat Institute for pork, beef, lamb, or veal, the United Egg Producers for shell eggs, the National Turkey Federation for turkey products, or the National Chicken Council for broiler products.

 

B.           Compliance with Laws, the Licensee Requirements, the Nutritional Guidelines or the Nutritional Guidelines for Children 6 to 36 Months of Age.

 

With regard to product quality and safety, Licensee covenants that each Licensed Product, and each component of each Licensed Product (1) shall be of good quality and free of defects in design, materials and workmanship, (2) shall comply with (a) Laws for the relevant country or countries of distribution and (b) all applicable “Licensee Requirements” set forth in the Product Guidelines (“PG’s”) for the relevant country or countries of distribution, and (3) shall conform to the Samples approved by Disney. To access the applicable PG’s and Licensee Requirements, which may be updated from time to time, log on to the DCP Website.

Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to non food Licensed Products and non food components of Licensed Products, Licensee covenants that all non food Licensed Products and all non food components of Licensed Products and their packaging shall comply with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Act, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (Public Law No: 100-314), the Flammable Fabrics Act, the Hazardous Substances Act, all regulations and policies of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (the “CPSC”) and other governmental authorities, and all voluntary industry standards (including, without limitation, ASTM F963, Consumer Safety Specifications on Toy Safety), and shall be safe for children as required by Laws.

Without limiting the foregoing, with regard to product quality and safety for food Licensed Products and food components of Licensed Products, Licensee covenants that each Licensed Product, and each component of each Licensed Product (i) shall comply with Laws and the Nutritional Guidelines or the Nutritional Guidelines for Children 6 to 36 Months of Age, as applicable, for the respective country or countries of distribution and (ii) shall conform to the Samples approved by Disney. The Nutritional Guidelines or the Nutritional Guidelines for Children 6 to 36 Months of Age, which may be updated from time to time, are posted on the DCP Website under “Food, Health & Beauty Product Development and Quality Management.” In the event Licensee reasonably believes that the manufacture of any food Licensed Product in accordance with the Nutritional Guidelines or the Nutritional Guidelines for Children 6 to 36 Months of Age may result in the introduction and delivery into commerce of a Licensed Product which is not safe

 

  

-54-

  

 

for human consumption or otherwise not in compliance with Laws, then Licensee shall notify Disney in writing prior to commencing production of such Licensed Product.

 

If a food Licensed Product or food component of a Licensed Product is of a perishable nature, Licensee agrees not to ship such Licensed Product to any customer if the expiration date on such Licensed Product is within fifteen (15) days after Licensee’s ship date, and in any event, Licensee shall not ship Licensed Products after the expiration date on such Licensed Products.

C.           Testing of Non Food Licensed Products. The provisions of this Section IV.C apply to non food Licensed Products and/or non food components of Licensed Products:

1.           Both before and after Licensee puts Licensed Products on the market, Licensee shall follow reasonable and proper procedures for testing that Licensed Products comply with Laws and the Licensee Requirements, including, without limitation, using accredited independent third-party testing agencies designated or otherwise approved by Disney, and providing passing testing reports to Disney as described more  fully in Section IV.C.2 below. Licensee also shall permit Disney's designees to inspect testing and quality control records and procedures, and to test the Licensed Products for compliance with Laws and Licensee Requirements; however, Disney shall not be required to conduct any such testing. Licensee agrees to promptly reimburse Disney for the actual costs of such testing if the Licensed Product does not pass the test. Licensee also shall give due consideration to any recommendations by Disney that Licensed Products exceed the requirements of Laws or Licensee Requirements; provided, however, that, as between Licensee and Disney, Licensee is responsible for compliance by the Licensed Products with all Laws and Licensee Requirements. Licensed Products not manufactured or packaged in accordance with Laws and Licensee Requirements shall be deemed unapproved, even if previously approved by Disney, and shall not be shipped unless and until they have been brought into full compliance.

2.           Prior to the shipment of any Licensed Products, Licensee shall submit passing test reports to Disney for such Licensed Products for all countries of distribution. Licensee need not generally re-submit passing test reports for subsequent shipments of the same Licensed Products from the same production runs to the same countries of distribution. However, Licensee must re-test and submit new passing test reports if there are changes in the production run of any SKU (including, without limitation, any change in materials, components, manufacturing processes or manufacturing facilities), the countries of distribution, or if any significant time elapses between production runs of the same Licensed Product. Licensee’s test reports must include (a) Licensee’s name, (b) Licensed Product name, (c) Licensed Product number (e.g., SKU, UPC, style number), (d) a digital photo of the Licensed Product, and (e) a list of the applicable Laws, Licensee Requirements, and any other relevant standards against which the Licensed Products were tested.  Licensee shall submit all such test reports directly through OPA.

 

D.           Testing of Food Licensed Products. Without limitation to Sections III.B and III.C above, both before and after Licensee introduces or delivers for introduction food Licensed Products into commerce, Licensee shall follow reasonable and proper procedures for testing the Licensed Products to ensure that each food Licensed Product complies with applicable Laws, the Final Product Technical Specifications, and the Nutritional Guidelines (or the Nutritional Guidelines for Children 6 to 36 Months of Age if applicable), including, without limitation, using outside testing agencies designated by Disney, and providing testing reports to Disney as requested. Without limitation to Section V below, Licensee shall permit Disney, or its authorized representative, to (1) inspect each Facility for the food Licensed Products not less than once in each twelve

  

-55-

  

 

(12) month period, (2) inspect testing, manufacturing, and quality control records and procedures for the Licensed Products, and (3) test the Licensed Products for compliance with food safety and other applicable Laws, the Final Product Technical Specifications and the Nutritional Guidelines (or the Nutritional Guidelines for Children 6 to 36 Months of Age, if applicable); provided, however, that Disney shall not be required to conduct any such testing. Licensee agrees to promptly reimburse Disney for the actual costs of such testing if the testing yields results that confirm or suggest, in Disney’s discretion, that the product is not acceptable for food safety or quality reasons. Licensed Products not manufactured, packaged or distributed in accordance with Laws, the Final Product Technical Specifications or the Nutritional Guidelines (or the Nutritional Guidelines for Children 6 to 36 Months of Age, if applicable) shall be deemed unapproved, even if previously approved by Disney, and shall not be shipped unless and until they have been brought into full compliance.

E.           Audits of Facilities Producing Food Licensed Products. Without limitation to Section IV.D above, Licensee covenants that all food Licensed Products shall comply with all applicable food safety standards, including, as applicable and by way of example, Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMPs”), Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures, and Good Agricultural Practices. Prior to commercial production of any food Licensed Products, Licensee shall submit the following materials for Disney’s written approval:

(1) an audit report by an independent, nationally-recognized, third-party audit agency, approved by Disney, for each Facility producing the food Licensed Products which rates such Facility as superior or equivalent (as determined by Disney) with respect to applicable food safety standards, as measured against the current GMPs for foods and any related drafts or final guidance issued by a United States (e.g., the U.S. Food and Drug Administration), Canadian (e.g., the Canadian Food Inspection Agency), or other governmental food safety agency with jurisdiction over the Licensed Product (hereinafter, the applicable agency to be referred to as the “Regulatory Agency”) and (2) a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (“HACCP”) plan in accordance with any applicable HACCP regulations that may be required from time to time by any Regulatory Agency. As used in this Section IV only, the term “Facility” refers to any Facility that designs, produces, processes, finishes, assembles, or packages Licensed Products, components of Licensed Products, PA Materials or any other item related to the Licensed Products, or that assembles a final product including one (1) or more Licensed Products. The Facilities producing the food Licensed Products or components of food Licensed Products shall be audited at least every twelve (12) months against the GMPs (if applicable). Licensee acknowledges that Disney is relying on Licensee’s commitment to enforce the GMPs and other applicable food safety standards with respect to its Facilities. Licensee agrees to investigate any claimed or observed violations of such standards, and if it finds there have been violations of such standards, or failures in process or raw material control that may impact on the safety, integrity, legality or quality of the Licensed Product, Licensee agrees to give immediate written notice to Disney. If requested by Disney, Licensee shall advise the public and others that Licensee’s Facilities are contractually responsible to Licensee for adherence to the GMPs (including an audit program measured against the GMPs) and other applicable food safety standards, individual product management via the Product Technical Specifications, and a HACCP plan, and that Disney has, in good faith, relied upon Licensee to assure compliance with such food safety and quality standards.

F.           Defective Product and Corrective Action. The obligations of Licensee under this Section IV.F are in addition to, and not in limitation of, other obligations, representations, warranties and indemnities of Licensee.

  

-56-

  

 

	
  

	
1.

	
Defective Product.

 

(a)           “Defective Product” means any Licensed Product that Licensee has reason to believe is or may be adulterated, misbranded, defective (as described by applicable Laws such as 15 U.S.C. 2064 or otherwise), harmful to consumers, or for any reason may fail to comply with one (1) or more Laws. Licensee shall monitor, investigate and take corrective action with regard to potential or actual Defective Product as set forth below.

(b)           During the Term, upon Disney’s request, Licensee shall provide Disney’s designated representative (the “Disney Contact”) with a written monthly report (e.g., a “trend report”) detailing all trends of consumer complaints received within the previous month either (i) relating to the health or safety of the Licensed Product or (ii) being of the type that Licensee would normally investigate with respect to any other similar consumer products produced and/or sold by Licensee. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee shall also notify the Disney Contact by telephone and electronic mail as soon as reasonably possible, and in all circumstances within twenty-four (24) hours, upon receipt of any (A) consumer complaint alleging that a Licensed Product is connected to any illness, injury or death of a human being or animal, (B) product liability claim made or legal action filed with respect to any Licensed Product,  (C) communication from any Regulatory Agency regarding any Licensed Product, including any notices of investigations or directives, or if Licensee has any reason (other than as specified in clauses (A) through (C) above) to believe that a Licensed Product may be a Defective Product, including, but not limited to, a situation in which Licensed Products are manufactured in the same Facility as non-Disney licensed products that are subject to a recall. In all such cases, Licensee agrees to immediately discuss in good faith with Disney the nature of the complaint and what additional steps are necessary to further investigate the matter such as notifying any Regulatory Agency. If Disney or Licensee reasonably concludes from information supplied by Licensee or from any other source (1) that the subject Licensed Product is a Defective Product or (2) that a consumer complaint is bona fide and the Licensed Product could pose a health or safety risk to humans or animals, then Licensee shall proceed as set forth in Section IV.F.2 below.

 

	
  

	
2.

	
Corrective Action.

 

(a)           Corrective Action Procedures. In the event of a Defective Product, Licensee shall immediately (i) stop distribution of such Defective Product and any other Disney-licensed products manufactured in the same Facility that may be exposed to risk and (ii) submit to the Disney Contact, upon request, a completed Disney Risk Assessment Form. Licensee shall also take such action as is required by applicable Laws, including without limitation, notifying the appropriate Regulatory Agency in the country in which the Defective Product is being manufactured or sold to consumers.

 

(b)           Regulatory Agency Guidance. Licensee shall take such actions as the notified Regulatory Agency shall require, including without limitation, (i) notifying the public of such Defective Product through recall notice, safety alert or other means, (ii) retrieving, recalling or withdrawing the Defective Product from Authorized Customers, retailers and consumers, (iii) destroying and/or replacing the Defective Product, and (iv) refunding sums paid and expenses incurred by consumers and others by reason of the notification, recall or market withdrawal (all such actions being referred to collectively as the “Corrective Action”). In the event the applicable Law does not require Licensee to notify the Regulatory Agency or, in the event notification has taken place, but there is no direction given by the Regulatory Agency, Licensee shall discuss in good faith with Disney the steps to be taken, and shall take such steps as Disney, in its reasonable

discretion, shall direct.

(c)           Corrective Action Communications. Licensee shall not issue any public statement, communication or notification regarding a Defective Product, or any Corrective Action undertaken in relation thereto, without Disney’s prior written approval. Licensee also shall provide Disney with contemporaneous copies of any correspondence and communications related thereto (e.g., responses, third party replies or comments, follow up communications, emails, etc.). Licensee shall provide Disney with regular and timely information regarding the Defective Product, including, without limitation, the status of any investigations and contemporaneous copies of any correspondence and/or communications with the Regulatory Agency.

 

(d)           Disney Regulatory Agency Notification and Corrective Action Expenses. Disney reserves the right to notify the relevant Regulatory Agency about Defective Product itself in the event that Licensee does not do so and Disney deems it prudent to do so. Whether Disney or Licensee notifies any Regulatory Agency of such Defective Product, Licensee shall promptly reimburse Disney for all reasonable expenses paid or incurred by Disney by reason of, or in connection with, such notification, including, without limitation, all Corrective Action expenses. If Licensee does not have the capability or resources to implement and manage the Corrective Action in an effective and legally-compliant manner, Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, retain a third party with the requisite capability and resources to do so.

ILS Program

 

A.           Disclosure of Facilities and Consent to Use. Licensee shall disclose to Disney each Facility that Licensee proposes to use hereunder, and Disney’s written consent to use each such proposed Facility is required prior to the commencement of production of Licensed Products or PA Materials in such Facility. Licensee shall disclose a Facility, and request Disney’s consent to use such Facility, by providing to Disney a completed FAMA Application for each Facility. Prior to determining whether or not to grant its consent to use a Facility, Disney may require (1) Licensee to provide a pre-production ILS Audit of the Facility demonstrating the Facility’s compliance with at least the ILS Minimum Compliance Standard and/or (2) Licensee and/or the Facility to comply with any conditions applicable to the Permitted Sourcing Country in which the Facility is located. Disney may withhold its consent prior to the commencement of production for any Facility which, inter alia, (a) Disney reasonably believes does not comply with the ILS Minimum Compliance Standard, (b) Disney reasonably believes an ILS Audit was obtained through fraud, bribery, or other improper influence, (c) is not located in a Permitted Sourcing Country, (d) constitutes or involves a Prohibited Person, (e) has not shown continuous improvement towards full compliance with the Code, according to information contained in the ILS Program database, or (f) does not comply with any conditions applicable to the Permitted Sourcing Country in which the Facility is located (or with which Licensee does not comply if such conditions apply to the Licensee). Disney shall evidence its consent to the use of a Facility by providing Licensee with a signed FAMA Application. Licensee shall not commence production of any Licensed Products or PA Materials at a Facility until Licensee receives the signed FAMA Application for such Facility from Disney. Disney shall incur no liability hereunder for any failure or reasonable delay in providing Licensee with a signed FAMA Application. Licensee shall promptly (but no later than within thirty (30) days) notify Disney in writing when Licensee (i) ceases to use a previously declared and authorized Facility for any reason or does not have a reasonable intention to use such Facility hereunder within twelve (12) months, or (ii) has not used a previously declared and authorized Facility for twelve (12) months and has not placed an order to be fulfilled within the next twelve (12) months. Licensee shall provide Disney with an updated list of Facilities or evidence of Facility use hereunder at any time upon request from Disney.

B.           Compliance with ILS Minimum Compliance Standard and the Code. Licensee shall use only Facilities that comply with at least the ILS Minimum Compliance Standard (except during a period of remediation in accordance with Section V.F (Remediation) below), and shall ensure that such Facilities fully comply with the Code to the extent it is commercially reasonable. Licensee shall distribute the Code to all of its Facilities. The Code and the ILS Minimum Compliance Standard shall not be interpreted to require Licensee or its Facilities to violate any applicable Law.

C.           ILS Audits by Disney. Disney and/or its designated representatives shall have the right, at Disney’s expense and without prior notice to Licensee or the Facility, to conduct ILS Audits of any Facility. Such ILS Audits may be conducted prior to and as a condition of Licensee’s use of the Facility as set forth in Section V.A above, or at any time up to the date that Licensee notifies Disney that Licensee has ceased to use such Facility. Except when Disney or its designated representative conducts unannounced ILS Audits, Disney shall endeavor to coordinate with Licensee in scheduling ILS Audits. In connection with any ILS Audit conducted by Disney, Licensee shall promptly confirm use of the Facility hereunder upon request from Disney. It is Licensee’s responsibility to obtain the Facility’s agreement to provide Disney with full access to the Facility and all applicable books and records for ILS Audits. Licensee shall promptly reimburse Disney for the reasonable cost of an ILS Audit (currently One Thousand Five Hundred U.S.

 

 

  

-59-

  

 

Dollars (US $1,500.00), but subject to change) performed or attempted to be performed by Disney and/or its designated representatives when (1) any Facility fails to meet the ILS Minimum Compliance Standard, (2) any Facility fails to remediate a previously cited failure(s) of the ILS Minimum Compliance Standard within the time designated by Disney, (3) any Facility refuses to grant full access to the Facility and all applicable books and records, or (4) Licensee has failed to timely notify Disney of the non-use or cessation of use of the Facility as required by Section V.A above. The amount Licensee reimburses Disney shall not be pro-rated in the event the Facility is also used by other licensees or vendors of Disney.

D.           ILS Audits from Licensee. Upon Disney’s request, Licensee shall provide Disney, at Licensee’s expense, with ILS Audit reports for designated Facilities demonstrating compliance with at least the ILS Minimum Compliance Standard. Disney may require Licensee to submit such ILS Audit reports prior to, and as a pre-condition of, the use of a Facility and/or at any time prior to the date Licensee notifies Disney that Licensee has ceased to use such Facility. All ILS Audits provided by Licensee shall (1) be in a format and conducted pursuant to a methodology acceptable to Disney, (2) be conducted by Licensee’s internal personnel or third parties, in either case acceptable to Disney, and (3) be conducted and provided within the time periods designated by Disney. Licensee agrees to comply with all applicable privacy and data protection Laws with regard to its monitoring activities of Facilities and to the submission of information to Disney regarding Facilities and the ILS Audit reports of such Facilities, including without limitation, Laws pertaining to protection of personally identifiable information and the protection of minors. The provision of an ILS Audit report by Licensee hereunder with respect to any Facility, regardless of the determination made by Disney with respect to such ILS Audit, shall not limit Disney’s right, as set forth above, to conduct or otherwise obtain its own ILS Audit of such Facility.

E.           Determinations. The determination of whether an ILS Audit indicates compliance with the ILS Minimum Compliance Standard, the Code or applicable Laws shall be a matter within Disney’s absolute discretion. Disney may reject any ILS Audit (and thereby withhold or revoke authorization to use a Facility) if Disney reasonably believes that the ILS Audit was obtained or undermined through fraud, bribery, actual or threats of physical violence or other improper influence.

F.           Remediation. As a condition to Licensee’s continued use of a Facility that does not comply with the ILS Minimum Compliance Standard, Licensee shall, at no cost or expense to Disney, take appropriate and prompt steps to require the Facility to remediate all instances of Facility non-compliance with the ILS Minimum Compliance Standard within the time periods designated by the ILS Program and to provide Disney with an ILS Audit report or other evidence, satisfactory to Disney, of remediation of such Facility non-compliance.

G.           Cessation of Facility Use. Disney may revoke any previous Facility authorization if (1) Licensee ceases to use the Facility and does not have a reasonable intention to use such Facility hereunder within twelve (12) months, (2) Licensee has not used the Facility for twelve (12) months and has not placed an order to be fulfilled within the next twelve (12) months, (3) Disney is unable to conduct an ILS Audit as a result of Licensee’s failure to timely confirm the status of the Facility and/or provide accurate Facility information, (4) Disney determines from an ILS Audit or otherwise that the Facility does not comply with the ILS Minimum Compliance Standard and such failure(s) is not remedied pursuant to Section V.F above, (5) Disney reasonably believes that an ILS Audit was obtained through fraud, bribery, or other improper influence, (6) Licensee fails to conduct and/or provide to Disney any ILS Audit as required hereunder, (7) the country

  

-60-

  

 

in which the Facility is located is no longer a Permitted Sourcing Country, (8) the Facility constitutes or involves a Prohibited Person, (9) the Facility and/or Licensee does not comply or continue to comply with any conditions applicable to the Permitted Sourcing Country in which the Facility is located, or (10) the Facility uses the Licensed Material or any other intellectual property owned, co-owned or licensed by Disney, its Affiliates or its/their licensors for any unauthorized purpose and does not halt such unauthorized activities within the time designated by Disney. If Disney revokes a Facility authorization, then Licensee shall not use or shall cease using such Facility for Licensed Products promptly, not to exceed thirty (30) days from Disney’s written notice to Licensee, or as otherwise required by Law. If Licensee ceases to use a third party Facility for any other reason, upon Disney’s request Licensee shall disclose to Disney in reasonable detail any information known to Licensee relating to such Facility’s failure to comply with the ILS Minimum Compliance Standard, the Code, and/or any Law.

H.           Material Breaches. Failure to comply with the ILS Program shall constitute a material breach of a License Agreement. In addition to and without waiving any other rights or remedies available to Disney, upon discovery of each instance of the following failures by Licensee with respect to each and every Facility, Disney may assess Licensee an appropriate fee up to Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $5,000.00) per failure to defray Disney’s costs and/or fund other efforts of the ILS Program, and in the event that Disney does assess Licensee then Licensee shall immediately pay Disney the assessed amount:

(1) failure to disclose to Disney a Facility through a FAMA Application prior to production of Licensed Product or PA Materials at such Facility, (2) commencing production of Licensed Product or PA Materials at a Facility prior to obtaining Disney’s consent to use such Facility as evidenced by a FAMA Application signed by Disney, (3) failure to conduct an ILS Audit and provide to Disney any ILS Audit report as required hereunder, (4) use of a Facility in a country that is not a Permitted Sourcing Country, (5) failure to comply with any conditions applicable to the Permitted Sourcing Country in which a Facility is located, (6) failure to cease using a Facility pursuant to Section V.G above, and/or (7) failure to timely notify Disney that Licensee has not used or has ceased using a previously disclosed and authorized Facility as required hereunder. Disney may direct Licensee not to sell or distribute Licensed Product and PA Materials produced in breach of a License Agreement, or to destroy or donate such Licensed Product and PA Materials. In addition, if Licensee’s action(s) or inaction(s) cause(s) Disney to be subject to any penalty or expense, Licensee shall fully reimburse Disney for such costs. Acceptance or waiver of payments under any of the foregoing subclauses shall not affect any other rights or remedies available to Disney, including without limitation, termination of a License Agreement, indemnification, and/or Disney’s right to require strict compliance by Licensee with the terms and conditions of the applicable License Agreement thereafter.

I.           Disclosure of ILS Audits and Facilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this License Agreement:

(1)           Disney may disclose ILS Audits to third parties (including other licensees and vendors of Disney using the same Facility and non-governmental organizations) (collectively, “Third Parties”) but may not reference the identity of Licensee in such disclosure without the prior written consent of Licensee;

(2)           Licensee may disclose ILS Audits to Third Parties but may not reference Disney, the Licensed Material, Licensed Products or PA Materials in such disclosure without the prior written consent of Disney;

 

  

-61-

  

 

(3)           Disney may disclose publicly, as part of its ILS Program, the names and addresses of all Facilities;

(4)           As part of its anti-piracy efforts, and/or to facilitate shipping, Disney may communicate with, and provide information to, customs and law enforcement officials globally and/or other Third Parties that may assist with such efforts in order to identify authorized users of intellectual properties owned or controlled by Disney or its Affiliates, including the identification of Licensees, the Facilities, authorized shippers, and other information found in the FAMA Application; and

(5)           Disney may disclose the information identified in Section V.I.(4) above as Disney may deem necessary to enforce its contract rights and/or protect its intellectual property rights.

J. Permitted Sourcing Countries and Prohibited Persons. Licensee shall only use Facilities in Permitted Sourcing Countries (subject to any applicable conditions). Licensee may not use any Facility that involves a Prohibited Person. Please refer to the ILS Program Manual and the DCP Website for more information about Permitted Sourcing Countries and Prohibited Persons.

Code of Conduct for Manufacturers

 

At The Walt Disney Company, we are committed to:

	
  

	
·

	
a standard of excellence in every aspect of our business and in every corner of the world;

	
  

	
·

	
ethical and responsible conduct in all of our operations;

	
  

	
·

	
respect for the rights of all individuals; and

	
  

	
·

	
respect for the environment.

 

We expect these same commitments to be shared by all manufacturers of Disney merchandise. At a minimum, we require that all manufacturers of Disney merchandise meet the following standards:

 

	
Child Labor 

	
Manufacturers will not use child labor.

 

The term “child” refers to a person younger than 15 (or 14 where local law allows) or, if higher, the local legal minimum age for employment or the age for completing compulsory education.

Manufacturers employing young persons who do not fall within the definition of “children” will also comply with any laws and regulations applicable to such persons.

 

	
Involuntary Labor 

	
Manufacturers  will  not  use  any  forced  or  involuntary  labor,  whether prison, bonded, indentured or otherwise.

 

	
Coercion and Harassment

	
Manufacturers will treat each employee with dignity and respect, and will not use corporal punishment, threats of violence or other forms of physical, sexual, psychological or verbal harassment or abuse

 

 

	

Nondiscrimination

	

Manufacturers will not discriminate in hiring and employment practices, including salary, benefits, advancement, discipline, termination or retirement, on the basis of race, religion, age, nationality, social or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender, political opinion or disability.

 

	
Association

	
Manufacturers will respect the rights of employees to associate, organize and bargain collectively in a lawful and peaceful manner, without penalty or interference.

 

	

Health and Safety 

	

Manufacturers will provide employees with a safe and healthy workplace in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, ensuring at a minimum reasonable access to potable water and sanitary facilities; fire safety; and adequate lighting and ventilation.Manufacturers will  also ensure that the same standards of health and safety are applied in any housing that they provide for employees.

 

	

Compensation

	

We expect manufacturers to recognize that wages are essential to meeting employees’ basic needs. Manufacturers will, at a minimum, comply with all applicable wage and hour laws and regulations, including those relating to minimum wages, overtime, maximum hours, piece rates and other elements of compensation, and provide legally mandated benefits. Except in extraordinary business circumstances, manufacturers will not require

  

-64-

  

	
Protectionof the

	
employees to work more than the lesser of (a) 48 hours per week and 12 hours overtime or (b) the limits on regular and overtime hours allowed by local law or, where local law does not limit the hours of work, the regular work week plus 12 hours overtime. In addition, except in extraordinary business circumstances, employees will be entitled to at least one day off in every seven-day period. 
  

 

Manufacturers will compensate employees for overtime hours at such premium rate as is legally required or, if there is no legally prescribed premium rate, at a rate at least equal to the regular hourly compensation rate.

Where local industry standards are higher than applicable legal requirements, we expect manufacturers to meet the higher standards.

 

 

	
Environment

	
Manufacturers will comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations.

	
OtherLaws 

	
Manufacturers will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those pertaining to the manufacture, pricing, sale and distribution of merchandise. All references to “applicable laws and regulations” in this Code of Conduct include local and national codes, rules and regulations as well as applicable treaties and voluntary industry standards.

	
Subcontracting

	
Manufacturers will not use subcontractors for the manufacture of Disney merchandise or components thereof without Disney’s express written consent, and only after the subcontractor has entered into a written commitment with Disney to comply with this Code of Conduct.

 

	
Monitoring and Compliance 

	
Manufacturers will authorize Disney and its designated agents (including third parties) to engage in monitoring activities to confirm compliance with this Code of Conduct, including unannounced on-site inspections of manufacturing facilities and employer-provided housing; reviews of books and records relating to employment matters; and private interviews with employees. Manufacturers will maintain on site all documentation that may be needed to demonstrate compliance with this Code of Conduct.

	
Publication

	
Manufacturers will take appropriate steps to ensure that the provisions of this Code of Conduct are communicated to employees, including the prominent posting of a copy of this Code of Conduct, in the local language and in a place readily accessible to employees, at all times.

    If such insurance is maintained on an occurrence basis, Licensee or its third party contractor must maintain such insurance for an additional period of one (1) year following the end of the Term of the License Agreement. If such insurance is maintained on a claims-made basis, Licensee or its third party contractor must maintain such insurance for an additional period of three (3) years following the end of the applicable License Agreement.

    E.           If Disney consents to Licensee’s production of any commercials in connection with the Licensed Products and Licensee produces any commercials for which consent has been granted, and/or if Disney consents to Licensee conducting any promotional activities on the internet and Licensee conducts such activities, Licensee will carry, or cause its third party contractor to carry, Media (Producer's) Liability (Errors & Omissions) Insurance for such length of time as is necessary to cover any and all claims arising out of or relating to the production and any broadcasts of such media advertising, having limits of at least Five Million U.S. Dollars (US $5,000,000.00) for each claim, with an annual aggregate limit of at least Five Million U.S. Dollars (US $5,000,000.00) with a deductible of no more than Twenty-Five Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $25,000.00). Such insurance must have standard coverage, including, but not limited to, coverage with respect to libel/slander or other forms of defamation, infringements of common law or statutory copyright, infringements of rights in material to be broadcast or in the manner of presentation thereof, infringement of privacy rights, breach of implied contract and unauthorized use of materials. Any restrictions of coverage on the title, music or other rights must be stated on the certificate of insurance and cleared prior to commencement of the exhibition of such commercial. Additionally, any deductibles must be stated on the certificate of insurance.

    F.           If Disney consents to a request by Licensee to conduct a sweepstakes, contest or other game in connection with the Licensed Products, on Licensee’s website(s) or otherwise, then Licensee shall carry, or cause its third party contractor to carry, Sweepstakes/Contest (Errors & Omissions) Insurance in amount of not less than One Million U.S. Dollars (US $1,000,000.00) per claim and One Million U.S. Dollars (US $1,000,000.00) in the annual aggregate (or an amount otherwise determined), protecting Licensee and the Disney Indemnified Entities from Licensee’s or any of the subcontractors’ performance under the License Agreement.

E-Waste Provisions

 

    A.           Licensee acknowledges and agrees that it shall comply with any and all applicable environmental Laws in connection with its activities under any License Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all State “e-waste” recycling programs and any similar government-mandated electronic product recycling programs (collectively “E- Waste Programs”). Licensee shall have primary responsibility for registering as the “manufacturer” (or such other applicable designation) under, and maintaining ongoing compliance with, all applicable E-Waste Programs in connection with the Licensed Products (for example, paying any and all fees, costs, expenses, and liabilities, subscribing to any recycling programs, and engaging any recycling service providers, as required). Licensee shall not take any position contrary to its being treated as the “manufacturer” (or otherwise as the appropriate registrant) under any applicable E-Waste Program, unless the applicable E-Waste Program, as interpreted in writing by the responsible government agency, expressly and explicitly requires Disney or any other party to take such responsibility exclusively instead of Licensee, provided that, in such case, Licensee shall still be responsible for any and all fees, costs, expenses, and liabilities of registration and compliance with such E-Waste Program, which Disney shall charge back to Licensee.

    B.           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon Disney’s written instruction, Licensee shall, at its sole cost and expense, engage a nationally-recognized third-party E-Waste Program compliance vendor (the “E-Waste Compliance Vendor”) to manage all E-Waste Program compliance, if applicable, for Licensee in connection with the Licensed Products throughout the Territory and during the Term (or such longer period as may be required by any E-Waste Programs). As part of its services agreement, Licensee shall cause the E-Waste Compliance Vendor to (1) promptly confirm to Disney in writing that it has been retained by Licensee and to describe in detail the scope of services to be provided to Licensee, (2) provide quarterly reports to Disney detailing all compliance activities during such quarter, and an annual report to Disney at the end of each calendar year detailing all compliance activities during such year, in each case including, without limitation, registrations filed, recycling fees paid, compliance failures and penalties assessed (if any), and any other matters relevant to determining Licensee’s E-Waste Program compliance during the relevant period, and (3) cooperate with Disney as Disney may request from time to time in connection with evaluating Licensee’s E- Waste Program compliance with respect to the Licensed Products, including, without limitation, providing copies of any and all information and materials requested by Disney in connection therewith. Disney shall have no liability or other obligation to the E- Waste Compliance Vendor. As described above, Licensee shall be responsible for any and all fees, costs, expenses, and liabilities of registration and compliance with all E- Waste Programs, including, without limitation, in connection with the services to be provided by the E-Waste Compliance Vendor. Disney shall be entitled to draw down against Licensee’s letter of credit any fees, expenses, penalties, or other liabilities incurred, or reasonably anticipated by Disney to be incurred, by Disney directly in connection with Licensee’s E-Waste Program compliance obligations hereunder that are not promptly paid or reimbursed by Licensee, in which case Licensee shall promptly restore such letter of credit to the level required under the applicable License Agreement.

    C.           If Licensee (1) fails to retain the E-Waste Compliance Vendor in accordance with Disney’s written instruction, (2) no longer retains an E-Waste Compliance Vendor at any time during the Term (or such longer period as may be required by any E-Waste Programs), (3) fails to comply with any E-Waste Program, or (4) fails to reimburse Disney for any amounts incurred directly by Disney in connection with any E-Waste Program, then such failure shall be treated as a material breach by Licensee of the applicable License Agreement.

Copyright Agreement

I am signing this Copyright Agreement (“Agreement”) (1) on my own behalf intending to bind myself as an individual, or (2) on behalf of a business entity employing individual artists, intending to bind the business entity and all of its employees. The use of the words “I” and “me” refer to me as an individual, or to the business entity and each employee artist, as applicable. I am signing this Agreement with regard to all creative services provided by me, in the past, the present or the future, to or for Disney Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Disney”), or to or for one of its affiliates, licensees or vendors, the results of which are, or are intended to be, used in, on, or in connection with merchandise of any kind, as to which Disney or an affiliate has granted a licensed to use copyrighted content or trademarks (“Proprietary Material”). Also, I will use the word “Works” to mean the results of my services to the extent such results are derived or adapted from, or related to, the Proprietary Material. When I use the word “Works”, I am including all rights related to those results, including all copyrights (and renewals or extensions).

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which I hereby acknowledge, I agree that Disney or its successors or assigns (“Designee”) has complete ownership of the Works.

First, I agree that the Works are WORKS MADE FOR HIRE which are owned by Disney or its Designee alone and exclusively. I agree that Disney or its Designee will own all rights in the Works, including copyrights, any copyright renewals or extensions, and any other intellectual property rights of any kind or nature (e.g., trademark and patent rights) forever, or for the full time period otherwise permitted under local law, throughout the Universe, in all languages. I agree that, without any further payments to me, Disney or its Designee may use or license the Works in any ways which they desire, and this includes new and different ways, ideas, media and technologies for using or exploiting the Works which might not even exist today.

 

Second, if by court order any or all of the Works are determined not to be a work made for hire, or if such doctrine is not effective, I hereby ASSIGN to Disney or its Designee all rights to the Works which exist now or which might become known later, including copyright, any copyright renewals or extensions, and any other intellectual property rights of any kind or nature (e.g., trademark and patent rights) forever, or for the full time period otherwise permitted under local law, throughout the Universe, in all languages. I agree that, without any further payments to me, Disney or its Designee may use or license the Works in any ways which they desire, and this includes new and different ways, ideas, media and technologies for using or exploiting the Works which might not even exist today.

 

Third, if the foregoing assignment is ineffective, I hereby grant to Disney or its Designee an exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, Universe-wide, paid-up, royalty-free and irrevocable license to use, exploit and sublicense any and all of the Works and related intellectual property rights forever or for the full time period otherwise permitted under local law. I agree that, without any further payments to me, Disney or its Designee may use or license the Works in any ways in which they desire, and this includes new and different ways, ideas, media and technologies for using or exploiting the Works which might not even exist today.

 

Fourth, I understand that this is a complete transfer of all rights and claims to the Works, and I will not go to court (and my family members, or anyone who claims rights

  

-71-

  

through me, cannot go to court) to say that this Agreement is not a good and binding agreement. At all times Disney or its Designee will be free to adapt, change, modify, combine with other material, and otherwise reproduce and utilize, the Works or any portion thereof, and I hereby waive any “moral rights of authors” (droite morale) or similar rights in and to the Works. I acknowledge that Disney and its Designee have the right to license the use of the Works for any and all purposes. I understand that this Agreement is freely assignable by Disney.

The terms of this Agreement are severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other term.

IX. Computer System Security and Remote Access Requirements

 

    A.           Licensee, together with, as applicable, Licensee’s employees, authorized subcontractors and representatives (all included in the term “Licensee” unless separately referenced) shall:

    1.           Immediately inform Disney Worldwide Services, Inc. (“DWS”) Enterprise Information Security of any security breach or lapse in security that might adversely affect a Disney Computer System or any Licensee system on which Disney data resides, including any unauthorized access to or compromise of Disney data or resources.

    2.           Maintain secure network connections through the utilization of industry standard and mutually agreed upon encryption technology while transferring Sensitive Data. “Sensitive Data” includes payment card information of Disney or Disney customers or employees, personal information of Disney customers or employees (including Social Security Number, drivers license number, or name associated with data such as job performance or health insurance records), financial data, trade secrets, or any data that, if improperly disclosed, could result in damage or liability to Disney.

    3.           Store all Sensitive Data in an encrypted format utilizing industry standard encryption technology and provide security key management and other facilities to ensure that encrypted Sensitive Data is not lost or irretrievable should the encryption keys become unavailable.

 

    4.           Ensure that all inbound and outbound remote access to and from Disney Computer Systems and any systems that process, transmit or store Sensitive Data utilize an end-to-end encryption method acceptable to DWS.

    5           Maintain a firewall at all logical demilitarized zones (“DMZ”) and Internet connection points, with access control restricted to that required for use of Licensee systems and applications.

    6.           Prevent possible bridging of Disney Computer Systems  or networks with non-Disney networks. This includes the prevention of logical connectivity from Licensee computer systems to non-Disney networks (e.g., the Internet) while simultaneously connected to Disney Computer Systems (e.g., “split tunneling” VPNs).

 

    7.           Allow only authorized individuals to access Disney Computer Systems from authorized locations under the License Agreement. The authorization of individuals to access Disney Computer Systems shall terminate upon termination of such individual’s employment with Licensee.

    8.           Provide physical security to prevent unauthorized access to any device used to access Disney Computer Systems or systems that process, store or transmit Disney data.

    9.           Ensure that all remote personal computing systems, workstations and laptops that access Disney Computer Systems or process Disney data

  

-73-

  

 

have functional and current antivirus and firewall software installed and have appropriate security patches applied.

    Upon reasonable notice to Licensee and during normal business hours, allow DWS or a DWS-approved auditing entity to periodically verify that Licensee is in compliance with the terms of this exhibit. Depending on the sensitivity and criticality of the services or data provided, DWS shall have the option of commissioning or requesting a review of the Licensee’s internal control structure and business continuity plans.

    B.           Licensee must further ensure that all of its employees, authorized subcontractors or representatives with any access to any Disney Computer System comply with the following procedures:

    (1) Sign an appropriate agreement that acknowledges Disney’s security requirements contained in this exhibit prior to gaining access to a Disney Computer System.

    (2) Not attempt to access any Disney Computer System, device, program or data file without signing a nondisclosure and confidentiality statement provided by or acceptable to DWS.

    (3) Not attempt to access any Disney Computer System with anything other than his or her individual User ID provided by DWS; “group IDs” or “generic IDs” are not authorized.

    (4) Not attempt unauthorized access to any Disney Computer System, device or asset, including program and data files.

    (5) Not attempt to connect any network, computer system, device, site or asset to the Disney Computer System without explicit authorization from DWS.

    (6) Not attempt to access any Disney Computer System, device or site from any unauthorized device, location, or software.

    (7) Not attempt to remove, copy, compromise or replace system files or processes on any Disney Computer System unless authorized by the DWS Project Manager.

    (8) Not attempt to install software on any Disney Computer System unless authorized by DWS Information Technology

 

    (9) Any data, software, hardware or other material, equipment or property, including CDs, DVDs, keys, identification badges, cell phones, computers, documentation, computer files or any other such material, owned, leased or operated by DWS that has been provided to Licensee in order to provide services to DWS must be returned to DWS at the termination of the relationship with DWS.
