Licensor and Licensee shall prepare and execute all necessary documents, including, without limitation, registered user agreements and/or license registration documents, and Licensee shall cooperate with Licensor as requested by Licensor and do whatever is reasonable and necessary for the protection of the Trademarks and the IP Rights. Licensee shall not do anything or authorize anyone to do anything which may adversely affect any ownership rights of Licensor in the Trademarks, or the IP Rights, or which may reduce or dilute the value or distinctiveness of the Trademarks or disparage or detract from their reputation and prestige. Licensor in its sole discretion shall determine whether the Trademarks and IP Rights should be registered and shall bear all costs of such registrations, maintenance and renewals in the Licensed Territory. Licensee shall not seek to register the Trademarks, the IP Rights, or any trademark confusingly similar to the Trademarks for any products, and Licensee shall not use any trademark confusingly similar to the Trademarks for any products. The provisions of, and the obligations of Licensee under, this Article 8 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

 

8.3 No Challenge. Licensee shall not challenge Licensor's ownership of or the validity of any of the Trademarks or IP Rights, any applications or registrations therefor or any rights of Licensor therein. The provisions of this Section 8.3 shall survive the expiration of the Term.

In no event, however, will Licensor be required to take any action if it deems it inadvisable to do so and Licensee will have no right to take any action with respect to the Trademarks or IP Rights without Licensor's prior written consent. If Licensee and Licensor participate in the litigations as co-plaintiffs, all costs and expenses, including reasonable legal and investigative fees incurred in connection with any such actions which are so undertaken, shall be borne equally Licensor and Licensee, and each party's expenses shall be reimbursed out of any monetary recovery obtained, and the remainder, if any, shall be divided equally between the parties. If the monetary recovery obtained is not sufficient to fully reimburse both parties, the parties' expenses shall be reimbursed on a pro rata basis out of such monetary recovery.

 

8.7 Use of Trademarks on Business Materials. The use of the Trademarks by Licensee in the masthead or letterhead of invoices, order forms, stationery and related materials in advertising in telephone or other directory listings is permitted only upon Licensor's prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the format in which the Trademarks are to be so used, the juxtaposition of the Trademarks with other words and phrases, and the content of the copy prior to the initial such use of the Trademarks and prior to any material change therein; provided, however, that each such use of the Trademarks is only in conjunction with the distribution or promotion of MOXG Products and Services pursuant to this Agreement. Licensee shall not use any of the Trademarks as part of a business or trade name without Licensor's prior written approval.

 

8.8 No Use of Trademarks By Licensee After Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, Licensee shall immediately discontinue any and all use of the Trademarks and IP Rights in connection with products, services or materials of any kind.

Licensee shall give Licensor prompt notice of any such claim or suit. Licensor shall have the right to undertake and conduct the defense of any suit so brought through counsel of Licensor's choice.
