Amendment No. 1 to the Strategic Relationship, Agreement, dated May 2005

 Exhibit 10.11(a) 
 AMENDMENT NO. 1 
 TO THE 
 STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP AGREEMENT 
 This Amendment (this
“Amendment”), entered into as of the             day of May, 2005, by and among Cendant Real Estate Services Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Cendant Real
Estate Services Venture Partner, Inc., a Delaware corporation, PHH Corporation, a Maryland corporation, PHH Mortgage Corporation, a New Jersey corporation, PHH Broker Partner Corporation, a Maryland corporation, and PHH Home Loans, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (collectively, the “Parties”), amends the Strategic Relationship Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2005, by and among the Parties (the “SRA”). 
 Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the SRA. 
 WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the SRA to create an exception to the exclusivity obligations contained in Section 2.1 thereof where such
obligations conflict with law or the terms of certain contracts to which Cendant Mobility is a party. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the premises and the mutual agreements set forth in the SRA and this Amendment, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 1.    Section 2.2 of the SRA shall be amended to add a new subparagraph (c), which will read as follows: 
 (c) To the extent Cendant Mobility determines that it is required to do so by law or the terms of any contract with a client to which it is or becomes a party, Cendant Mobility may recommend to its relocation
customers, in addition to the Company, one or more alternative providers (as specified by the client) of Mortgage Loans and other mortgage products and services not affiliated with Cendant or PHH. In such event, to the extent permissible, Cendant
Mobility will use commercially reasonable efforts to recommend to its clients PHH’s other private label customers; provided, however that both PHH and Cendant acknowledge that Cendant Mobility’s customers retain the ultimate
decision related to such recommendation. 
 2.    The term “Agreement” as used in the SRA shall be deemed to refer to the SRA
as amended hereby. Except as set forth herein, the SRA shall remain in full force and effect and shall be otherwise unaffected hereby. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Amendment, on the one hand, and the
SRA, on the other hand, with respect to the matters set forth herein and contemplated hereby, the provisions of this Amendment shall govern such conflict or inconsistency. 

 3.    This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each of such counterparts
shall for all purposes be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same agreement. 
  

 2 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment to the SRA, effective as of the date
first written above.

 16

products or services relating to such co-marketing arrangements shall be performed by the Co-Marketer and not by the Licensee or any Branded Operator and (b) Licensor has approved such Co-Marketer in advance of any such agreement as
provided below. In the event that Licensee or any Company Affiliate proposes to enter into an agreement with any Co-Marketer involving any use of any Licensed Mark, Licensee shall submit to Licensor a written request for approval of such Co-Marketer
including a template or mock-up or representative sample demonstrating such intended use, whereupon Licensor may request such additional information as it may reasonably deem relevant to evaluating such request. If Licensor does not object to any

include a disclaimer providing that such Co-Marketer’s products or services are not provided by Holdings, any Licensor Affiliate or any Branded Operator, as applicable, and the use of the Licensed Marks in any co-marketing materials shall

may be in a form comparable to the forms of the identity standards manuals that the Licensee Group uses in connection with its other franchisee systems, but must comply with the Trademark Usage Guidelines with respect to the Appearance of any
Licensed Mark. Licensor shall review such draft Identity Standards Manual promptly upon receipt, and Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the final Identity Standards Manual included in such UFOC shall be subject to Licensor’s prior approval,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. To the extent that the Identity Standards Manual approved by Licensor pursuant to the foregoing differs from the Trademark Usage Guidelines, Licensee shall have the right to rely upon and comply with
such Identity Standards Manual approved by Licensor as provided herein. 
  

 17 

 (ii) The Identity Standards Manual approved by Licensor may be amended or supplemented in
good faith by Licensee from time to time, provided that any such amendment or supplement complies with the Trademark Usage Guidelines with respect to the Appearance of any Licensed Mark and contains or proposes a change to the Identity Standards

effect on the Effective Date with respect to the use of marks on or in connection with marketing and promotional materials used by Franchisees. 
 Section 3.6. Government Filings and Investor Relations. Subject to Section 3.4, Licensee and each Company Affiliate is permitted to use any Licensed Mark in or in connection with any filing with any Governmental
Authority or stock exchange or any disclosure or materials provided to investors or prospective investors or financial analysts or any materials used for corporate or business matters (including presentation materials) used by Parent, in each case

Affiliate from Branded Franchisees for advertising and marketing, Licensee covenants and agrees that it will spend $10,000,000 in cash in calendar year 2005, and that it is its intent to spend $10,000,000 and $5,000,000 in cash in calendar years
2006 and 2007, respectively, in connection with the marketing of the Branded Franchisee system. 
 Section 3.8. Licensor’s
Publications. Licensor covenants and agrees that it will, or will cause the applicable Licensor Affiliates to, accept for publication in its proprietary Preview publication an advertisement from Licensee or from Company Affiliates for
Authorized Brokerage Services under any Licensed Mark, which advertisements will be purchased and sold at the then-prevailing rates charged by Licensor to third-party advertisers. The form and presentation of such advertising shall be in
Licensor’s sole discretion, including with respect to matters of good taste and the appearance (including as to color, size and other matters) of the Licensed Marks. 
 Section 3.9. Modification of Sotheby’s Name. In the event that Licensor desires to modify the Sotheby’s Mark or its stylized design with respect to Licensor’s and its Affiliates
businesses, Licensor shall provide Licensee with not less than six months’ advance written notice of such change (the “New Style Notice”) and the effective date of such change (the “New Style
Date”), and on the New Style Date each Licensed Mark (including as it is sublicensed by Licensee hereunder) shall be automatically modified accordingly and Licensor’s and its Affiliates use of the Sotheby’s Mark shall also be
modified accordingly; provided that modification of the Licensed Marks shall not be required to the extent that the name SOTHEBY’S is changed to include descriptive terms inconsistent with real estate brokerage services (e.g.,
“Sotheby’s Auction Houses”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Licensor and its Affiliates discontinue all use of the Sotheby’s Mark for a period of at least 12 consecutive months, then Licensee shall have the right to use
the Sotheby’s Mark to the extent embodied in each Licensed Mark during the term of this Agreement and pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. As of the New Style Date, all new advertising, marketing materials, signage and any
other new representation of each Licensed Mark shall conform to the noticed modifications, provided that for a period of three years from the New Style Date, Licensee and each Branded Operator shall be permitted to use its inventory of marketing
materials, signage and other similar materials to the extent in existence as of date of the New Style Notice. The right of Licensor to cause a change to any Licensed Mark pursuant to this Section 3.9 shall be exercisable not more than once in
any five-year period during the term. 
 Section 3.10. Advertising and Marketing Agents. The parties acknowledge
and agree that Licensee’s rights hereunder include the right to allow its agents and the agents of its permitted sublicensees to use the Licensed Marks in the ordinary course of business for the sole and limited purpose of creating and placing
marketing and advertising on behalf of Licensee or such permitted sublicensee for the marketing and sale of Authorized Services, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 sales of personal property made in connection with real estate sales except where such sale of personal
property is covered in a transaction separate from the applicable sale of real property (including sales covered under separate bills of sale), which shall be deemed to be excluded from Covered Revenue. 
 (b) Covered Revenue shall be deemed to include the franchise, broker affiliation or Owned Office royalty or fee payable (in each case net
of the amounts included in the definition of “Franchisee Covered Revenue” or “Owned Covered Revenue”, as applicable) with respect to transactions entered into, or sales contracts made, prior to the date of termination of this

 Section 5.4. Late Payment. Any payments of Fees which are not paid by the date such payments are due and payable shall bear
interest to the extent permitted by applicable Law at the Prime Rate on the date such payment is due, calculated based on the number of months (pro rated, as necessary) such payment is delinquent; provided that the foregoing shall not limit or
otherwise modify any other remedies available to Licensor whether pursuant to this Agreement or at law or equity.

average of the daily exchange rates (obtained as described below) during the Calendar Quarter; each daily exchange rate shall be obtained from the Reuters Daily Rate Report or, if not so available, from The Wall Street Journal, Eastern
United States Edition, or, if not so available, as otherwise agreed by the parties.

to ensure that the Minimum Amount has been satisfied) in an amount not less than the Minimum Amount calculated as of the end of such calendar year. Payment of such minimum Fees shall be made no later than the date on which Fees are due for the last
calendar quarter of such calendar year. The final payment of any minimum Fees pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall be due within 60 days following the date of termination of this Agreement (pro rated for the period of the year in which such
termination occurs). 
 (b) “Minimum Amount” shall mean $1,500,000, provided that such amount shall be
increased as of December 31, 2010 and each December 31 of each subsequent year during the term of this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Percentage Increase of the then-applicable Minimum Amount; provided that such amount shall not
exceed $2,000,000. The “Percentage Increase” shall be the percentage, if any, by which the Consumer Price Index — All Urban Consumers (or if such ceases to be published, the most reasonably comparable index published by
the United States government) increased by the end of the then applicable calendar year from the prior calendar year. 
 ARTICLE VI

 MUTUAL REFERRALS

Licensor or any Licensor Affiliate to the Licensee Group for such Authorized Brokerage Services, provided that such third party is not an Existing Brokerage Lead (it being understood that Licensee shall give first preference in transmitting any such
referral to Branded Operators). Any such referral by Licensor or any Licensor Affiliate shall be communicated to Licensee, or to such Company Affiliate as Licensee may from time to time designate to receive such referrals, by written notice to
Licensor. An “Existing Brokerage Lead” shall mean a Person with whom a broker of a Branded Operator has an existing client 

  

 24 

 
relationship providing Authorized Brokerage Services as of the time Licensor or any Licensor Affiliate made such referral. 
 (b) Nothing contained in this Section 6.1 shall obligate Licensor or any Licensor Affiliate to make any referral or affirmatively
promote the Authorized Brokerage Services of any Branded Operator. 
 Section 6.2. Referrals by Licensee. 
 (a) Licensor agrees to pay to Licensee a fee equal to 10% of the gross commission income earned by a Licensor Affiliate from the sale of
any property at auction by Holdings, which property is referred to such Licensor Affiliate by Licensee or any Company Affiliate, provided that the property referred to auction by Licensee or a Company Affiliate, as applicable, is not the property of
an Existing Auction Client; provided further, that no such fee shall be due to Licensee unless the gross sale price of such property, or such property together with other related properties referred to such Licensor Affiliate in
accordance with this Section 6.2(a), is in excess of $100,000. An “Existing Auction Client” shall mean a Person with whom a Licensor Affiliate has an existing client relationship with respect to the purchase or sale of
property at auction as of the time Licensee or any Company Affiliate made such referral.

supporting documentation, which shall be treated confidentially.

 QUALITY CONTROL 
 Section
7.1. Eligible Markets. 
 (a) Licensee shall have the right to offer and sell the Authorized Services under the
Licensed Marks, and to sublicense such right or grant a franchise to a Broker Affiliate, Franchisee or Company Affiliate, including for any Owned Office, in each case only for a geographic area qualifying as an Eligible Market; provided, that in the
case of any exercise of the Option, the foregoing requirement shall not apply to any country in the Option Territory for which a license is granted pursuant to such Option exercise. 
 (b) For purposes hereof, an “Eligible Market” shall mean a geographic area in which the median sales price
(“MSP”) for homes sold in such area during the most recent 12 full calendar months for which data is available immediately prior to (i) entering into a Branded Franchise Agreement with a proposed Branded
Franchisee or (ii) branding the Authorized 

  

 25 

 
Services of a Branded Owned Office with the Licensed Marks, as applicable (the “Measurement Period”), is at least 1.5 times the MSP
for the United States during the Measurement Period. 
 (c) The MSPs for the United States shall be determined by Licensee
based on data to the extent available provided by a recognized independent publisher of home sale price information (e.g. the National Association of Realtors or Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae)). The MSP for each Covered
Geographic Area shall be determined by Licensee based upon data provided by the same source as Licensee used for the foregoing determination with respect to the United States to the extent such data is available from such source and, to the extent
that such data is not available from such source, Licensee shall use data that is in Licensee’s good faith business judgment the most comparable to the data used with respect to Licensee’s determination of the MSP for the United States.

 (d) Before Licensee shall grant any franchise to a prospective Branded Franchisee, Licensee’s franchise review
committee shall, at a minimum, review and consider the following in determining whether to grant such franchise: (i) a full and complete franchise application from the prospective franchisee, (ii) to the extent
available, relevant market data provided by an independent third party, (iii) to the extent available, relevant data provided by the Multiple Listing Service covering the applicable geographic area and (iv) an on site
inspection report submitted by Licensee’s representative. 
 (e) Each (i) Sold Owned Office,
(ii) Corcoran Legacy Office, (iii) Pre-Existing Broker Affiliate and (iv) Person that was a broker affiliate of SIR that was terminated by SIR other than for cause, or that exercised a right of termination, during
the two years prior to the Effective Date (an “SIR Legacy Affiliate”) is deemed to be in an Eligible Market and to satisfy the Guidelines described in Section 7.2 below solely with respect to the Covered Geographic Area
in which it offered and sold Authorized Services as of the Effective Date (or in the case of an SIR Legacy Affiliate, as of the time of termination of its broker affiliate agreement with SIR); provided that any Branded Franchise to be granted to an
SIR Legacy Affiliate or Pre-Existing Broker Affiliate shall not cover a Covered Geographic Area larger than the Covered Geographic Area provided in such prospective franchisee’s broker affiliate agreement, as in effect as of the Effective Time
or as in effect at the time of such termination, as applicable, with SIR, including as modified by any oral agreement or authorized course of dealing. 
 Section 7.2. Sublicensee Eligibility Guidelines. 
 (a) In addition to
the requirements set forth in Section 7.1, (x) prior to granting any franchise to any prospective Branded Franchisee, (y) prior to executing any Broker Affiliate Agreement with any prospective Branded Broker Affiliate
and (z) prior to any Owned Office being branded with any Licensed Mark (including pursuant to any sublicense), Licensee, in determining whether to make such grant or effect such branding, shall take into account the guidelines set forth
in clauses (i) and (ii) below (the “Guidelines”). Determinations as to whether the Guidelines have been satisfied shall be made by Licensee, in their good faith business judgment, based on such available data as
Licensee reasonably deems appropriate. The Guidelines apply to offices of Branded Franchisees, Branded Broker Affiliates and Branded Owned Offices on a company-by-company basis rather than on an office-by-office basis, so that multiple offices
operated by a single Person are tested as a whole. Once a Branded Franchisee, 

  

 26 

 
Branded Broker Affiliate or Branded Owned Office has satisfied the Guidelines it shall be deemed to have satisfied the Guidelines for the term of the License
Agreement. The parties acknowledge that the Owned Offices of Buyer and its Subsidiaries and the Pre-Existing Broker Affiliates satisfy the Guidelines for the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any exercise of
the Option, the Guidelines shall not apply to any prospective Branded Franchisee, Branded Broker Affiliate and Branded Owned Office located outside of the United States, which Branded Franchisee, Branded Broker Affiliate and Branded Owned Office
shall be chosen in Licensee’s sole discretion, provided that, with respect to any Branded Franchisee located outside of the United States, Licensee grants the Branded Franchises pursuant to a master franchisee agreement with a master franchisor
the material terms of which master franchise agreement have been presented to Licensor, and such materials terms and such master franchisor are acceptable to Licensor as indicated by it in writing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).

 A prospective Branded Franchisee, Branded Broker Affiliate or Branded Owned Office shall satisfy the Guidelines if:

 (i) it satisfies any one of the following guidelines for the geographic area (as determined by Licensee) to be covered (the
“Covered Geographic Area”) by the prospective Branded Franchisee, Branded Broker Affiliate or Branded Owned Office: 
 (A) the average selling price (“ASP”) for homes sold or purchased by the customers of such prospective Branded Franchisee, Branded Broker Affiliate or Branded Owned Office in transactions
brokered by such prospective Branded Franchisee, Branded Broker Affiliate or Branded Owned Office in the Covered Geographic Area during the Measurement Period is in the top 40% of selling prices for all homes sold in the Covered Geographic Area; or

 (B) during the Measurement Period, such prospective Branded Franchisee, Branded Broker Affiliate or Branded Owned Office
ranked in the top 40% in terms of home purchases or sales brokered in the Covered Geographic Area based on the aggregate sales price of residential real estate transactions actually closed (the “Transaction Value”); or

 (C) such prospective Branded Franchisee, Branded Broker Affiliate or Branded Owned Office is ranked first, second or third
in the Covered Geographic Area in terms of (1) highest ASP for homes sold or purchased during the Measurement Period in the Covered Geographic Area or (2) highest Transaction Value for homes sold or purchased in the Covered
Geographic Area during the Measurement Period; or 
 (D) such prospective Branded Franchisee, Branded Broker Affiliate or
Branded Owned Office owns or operates a newly formed residential brokerage office, which office is or will be composed of agents substantially all of whom, immediately prior to the time the office would become a Branded Franchisee, Branded Broker
Affiliate or Branded Owned Office, were affiliated with a licensed broker that would have satisfied the guidelines in one of clauses (A), (B) or (C) of this Section 7.2(a)(i) with respect to the Measurement Period; or 
  

 27 

 (ii) it does not satisfy any of the guidelines set forth in Section 7.2(a)(i) but
such prospective Branded Franchisee, Branded Broker Affiliate or Branded Owned Office, together with all Franchisees that became Branded Franchisees, all Broker Affiliates that became Branded Broker Affiliates and all Owned Offices that became
Branded Owned Offices during the immediately preceding Measurement Period and who became eligible pursuant this clause (ii) (and not pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i)), would not represent more than 10% of the total number of all prospective
Branded Franchisees, Branded Broker Affiliates or Branded Owned Offices, taken together, that became Branded Franchisees, Branded Broker Affiliates or Branded Owned Offices, respectively, during the Measurement Period. 
 (b) With respect to the renewal by Licensee or its sublicensee of any Branded Franchise Agreement with a then-existing Branded Franchisee
or any Broker Affiliate Agreement with a then-existing Branded Broker Affiliate, in each case during the term of this Agreement, Licensee shall use reasonable efforts to apply the Guidelines; provided, however, that any renewals
of such existing Branded Franchisee or Branded Broker Affiliate shall be at Licensee’s sole discretion; and provided further, that in the event a then existing Branded Franchisee or Branded Broker Affiliate (other than a
Pre-Existing Broker Affiliate) was granted a franchise pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii), the renewal of any such Branded Franchisee or Branded Broker Affiliate shall be subject to the satisfaction of the Guidelines pursuant to the terms and
conditions of Section 7.2, including Section 7.2(a)(ii). 
 (c) If the Covered Geographic Area covered by the
Branded Franchisee changes to include new offices of such Branded Franchisee located outside of the Eligible Market, then Licensee shall be permitted to expand the Covered Geographic Area to include such new offices if such expanded Covered
Geographic Area satisfies the requirements of an Eligible Market at the time of such expansion. 
 (d) Licensee shall provide
to Licensor, on a quarterly basis, a report containing (i) the number of Branded Franchises granted and the number of sublicenses granted to Branded Owned Offices and Branded Broker Affiliates during the prior quarter and the
corresponding Covered Geographic Area and (ii) brief general descriptive information with respect to the business of each such new Branded Franchisee, Branded Broker Affiliate and Branded Owned Office and (iii) such other
information as Licensor reasonably requests. Semiannually for the first three years of the term of this Agreement, and thereafter on an annual basis, at Licensor’s option, the parties shall meet in person to discuss the general process by which
Licensee determines prospective Branded Franchisee, Branded Broker Affiliate or Branded Owned Office eligibility and related matters. 
 Section 7.3. Quality Control Standards With Respect To Owned Operations. 
 (a) Licensee shall,
and shall cause any Company Affiliate that is a sublicensee hereunder (including any Branded Owned Office) to: 
 (i) not make
or publish any statement or advertisement which would reasonably be expected to be construed to demean the image, value, identity, reputation or goodwill associated with the Sotheby’s Mark or any Licensed Mark; 
  

 28 

 (ii) advertise only in a manner that is professional, dignified and not intentionally
misleading; 
 (iii) conduct its business in a manner that complies with (A) the terms of this Agreement,
(B) the Code of Ethics of the National Association of REALTORS and (C) the provisions of the Model Code of Ethics; and 
 (iv) not provide any Excluded Service under any Licensed Mark. 
 (b) Licensee shall, and
shall cause each Company Affiliate who is a sublicensee of any Licensed Mark to, comply with the terms of this Agreement. 
 Section 7.4.
Quality Control Standards With Respect To Affiliated and Franchised Operations. 
 (a) In connection with
the development of certain supplemental quality control standards established by this Article 7 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and express their respective intentions that the provision of the Authorized Services under the
Licensed Marks, whether by Licensee or any of its sublicensees (including any Branded Operator), conform to the standards currently employed by Licensor and the Licensor Affiliates and the expectations of the prospective customers of Authorized
Services offered and sold under the Licensed Marks as to consistency and quality of the residential real estate brokerage services. The parties have reviewed together their respective operations in the residential real estate brokerage business with
respect to the maintenance of quality control. In connection with the foregoing, Licensor has identified and developed Model Provisions for the purpose of maintaining the quality of the Authorized Services provided under the Licensed Marks pursuant
to this Agreement at a high-level of quality commensurate with Licensor’s standards of quality existing as of the Effective Date and the standards applicable to the Licensee Brokerage Business pursuant to Section 7.3. Licensee covenants
and agrees that any sublicense to use any Licensed Mark granted by Licensee or any Company Affiliate, as sublicensees, to any Branded Broker Affiliate or Branded Franchisee (including as contained in any affiliation agreement or Franchise Agreement)
shall: 
 (i) include a code of ethics no less strict than the Model Code of Ethics; 
 (ii) include specific provisions with respect to the maintenance of the high quality of the Authorized Services provided under the
Licensed Marks, which provisions shall be no less strict than the Model Quality Control Provisions; and 
 (iii) not include
any provision in conflict with any term of this Agreement applicable to Branded Broker Affiliates or Branded Franchisees. 
 (b) Licensee covenants and agrees to enforce diligently, in its reasonable judgment and in good faith, each agreement granting a sublicense to any Licensed Mark to any Branded Broker Affiliate or Branded Franchisee, including any Broker
Affiliate Agreement or Branded Franchise Agreement. 
  

 29 

 (c) Licensee acknowledges that its compliance, and the compliance of each of its
sublicensees, including any Branded Operator, with the quality control provisions of Section 7.3 and this Section 7.4, is essential to preserve the goodwill of the Licensed Marks and the integrity of the Authorized Services. 
 Section 7.5. Excluded Services by Branded Operators; Prohibition on Co-Mingling Marks. 
 (a) Licensee is not prohibited by this Agreement from authorizing or permitting any Branded Operator to provide any Excluded Service
provided that such Excluded Service is not (i) provided or offered to the public under any Licensed Mark, (ii) provided or offered to the public in any way inconsistent with the terms of the Model Co-Mingling Provisions or
(iii) otherwise provided or offered to the public in any way that could reasonably be expected to cause confusion that any Excluded Service is designated as being provided under any Licensed Mark. 
 (b) Licensee covenants and agrees that any agreement between Licensee or any Company Affiliate, on the one hand, and any Branded
Franchisee or Branded Broker Affiliate, on the other hand, and any sublicense of any Licensed Mark to any Branded Owned Office, will contain terms and conditions requiring standards for the separation of any Excluded Service from the offer and sale
of any Authorized Service under any Licensed Mark, which provisions will be no less strict than the Model Co-Mingling Provisions. 
 Section 7.6. Uniform Franchise Offering Circular. With respect to any UFOC that includes or is proposed to include or otherwise relate to a sublicense of any Licensed Mark, such UFOC shall state that such sublicense is granted
pursuant to and as authorized by this Agreement, and Licensee shall reference in such UFOC the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent Licensee determines to be reasonably necessary or appropriate under applicable Law. 
 Section 7.7. Termination of Relationship. 
 (a) Any sublicense to any Branded Owned Office granted pursuant to Section 2.1(b) shall automatically and immediately terminate in
the event that the sublicensee ceases to be an Owned Office of Licensee; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Person constituting, owning or acquiring any such Branded Owned Office from offering and selling Authorized Services under
the Licensed Marks thereafter pursuant to a Branded Franchise Agreement or any other sublicense of the Licensed Marks, including a Branded Broker Affiliate Agreement, pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.7(a)

 (iii) Licensee shall be solely responsible for the fees and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees but not including any fees of co-counsel hired pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 12.5(d)) incurred in connection with any Brokerage Service Provider Claim, whether commenced and prosecuted
by Licensee or Licensor. In the case of any Brokerage Service Provider Claim commenced and prosecuted by Licensor, Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for such fees and expenses as incurred. 
 (iv) Any settlement made or damages awarded in or for such Brokerage Service Provider Claim shall be applied first to reimburse Licensee
for its fees and expenses paid pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 12.5(b)(iii), and the remainder of such settlement or damages shall be divided equally between Licensee and Licensor. 
 (c) Other Licensed Mark Claims. In the event that any third party imitates, infringes, uses without authorization or dilutes any
Licensed Mark in the Territory and such third party (x) is not then a Branded Franchisee, Branded Broker Affiliate or Former Branded Franchisee-Affiliate and (y) is not in the business of offering and selling Authorized
Services:

Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to Licensor in connection with such Other Licensed Mark Claim, at Licensor’s expense. Subject to Section 12.5(c)(ii), Licensor shall determine whether to take

 43 

 (ii) If Licensor does not commence or prosecute such Other Licensed Mark Claim within 60
days after Licensor has become aware thereof, (A) Licensor shall deliver to Licensee written notice thereof accompanied by a reasonable description of such Other Licensed Mark Claim and (B) Licensee shall have the right to

 (e) Diligent Prosecution. In the event that Licensor or Licensee has commenced prosecution of any claim that is subject to Sections
12.5(a), (b) or (c), and such Licensor or Licensee does not, or ceases to, conduct the prosecution of such claim or suit with reasonable diligence, then the other of Licensor or Licensee may apply to the court having jurisdiction over such
claim or suit to assume control of the prosecution of such claim or suit. 
 (f) Notice of Infringement. Each of
Licensee and Licensor shall notify the other in writing reasonably promptly (and in no event later than 30 days) after becoming aware of any imitation, infringement, use without authorization or dilution of any Licensed Mark by any Person.

 (g) Reservation of Rights. Licensor reserves all rights with respect to any claim with respect to the imitation,
infringement, use without authorization or dilution of any Mark owned by a Licensor Affiliate or in which any Licensor Affiliate holds rights or interests, whether or not a Licensed Mark or owned by Licensor, that is not expressly described in
Sections 12.5(a), (b) or (c). It is understood and agreed by the parties that Licensor shall have the sole right to commence or prosecute and control the disposition of any claims or suits with respect to any such imitation, infringement, use
without authorization or dilution, or choose not to so commence or prosecute, without any limitation hereunder, and Licensee shall not have any rights with respect to any such imitation, infringement, use without authorization or dilution or any
such claim or suit. 
 Section 12.6. Licensee Estoppel. Licensee shall not, and Licensee shall cause each Company Affiliate not
to, at any time do, or permit to be done, any acts or things which would in any way challenge or impair the rights of Licensor in and to the Licensed Marks or which would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the validity of the Licensed Marks.

 45

harmless Licensee and the Company Affiliates, the representatives and agents thereof, and each of the successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (but excluding for the avoidance of doubt any Broker Affiliate or Franchisee or any other

 46 

 
the representations and warranties of Parent and Licensee set forth in Section 8.2(a) which shall not be subject to the Licensee Deductible Amount), for
any indemnifiable Damages suffered by the Licensor Indemnified Parties unless and until the aggregate dollar amount of all such Damages, taken together with the aggregate dollar amount of all indemnifiable Damages suffered by the Seller Indemnified
Parties (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) under clause (i) of Section 7.2 of the Purchase Agreement exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Licensee Deductible Amount”), and then only to the extent of such
excess, provided that Damages indemnified hereunder in respect of claims made by the Licensor Indemnified Parties with respect to breaches or inaccuracies in the representations or warranties set forth in Section 8.2(a), and Damages indemnified
under the Purchase Agreement in respect of claims made by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) with respect to breaches or inaccuracies in the representations or warranties of Sellers (as defined in the Purchase

 (b) in no event shall Licensor be liable for, or required to make any payment pursuant to, clause (i) of Section 13.2, with
respect to any breach of any representation or warranty of Licensor (other than with respect to any breach or inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of Licensor set forth in Section 8.1(a)) which shall not be subject to the
Licensor Deductible Amount), for any indemnifiable Damages suffered by the Licensee Indemnified Parties unless and until the aggregate dollar amount of all such Damages, taken together with the aggregate dollar amount of all indemnifiable Damages
suffered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) under clause (i) of Section 7.3 of the Purchase Agreement exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Licensor Deductible Amount”), and
then only to the extent of such excess, provided that Damages indemnified hereunder in respect of claims made by the Licensee Indemnified Parties with respect to breaches or inaccuracies in the representations or warranties set forth in
Section 8.1(a), and Damages indemnified under the Purchase Agreement in respect of claims made by the Seller Indemnified Parties (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) with respect to breaches or inaccuracies in the representations or

 (c) in no event shall Licensor or Licensee be liable for, or required to make any payment pursuant to, Sections 13.1 or
13.2 (i) to the extent arising out of any indemnifiable matter unless a claim therefor is asserted specifying in good faith, in reasonable detail and in writing by the applicable Licensor Indemnified Party or Licensee Indemnified Party,
as the case may be, within the time period that such indemnifiable matter survives in accordance with Section 13.4, failing which such claim shall be waived and extinguished, (ii) to the extent arising out of any legislation not in
force as of the Effective Date or any change of Law or administrative practice, which takes effect retroactively to periods prior to the Effective Date, (iii) which are merely estimates of Damages and not actual Damages or
(iv) to the extent that the indemnifiable Damages have been incurred as a result of any failure by the Licensor Indemnified Party or Licensee Indemnified Party, as the case may be, to mitigate such Damages as required by applicable law;
and 
  

 47 

 (d) in no event shall Licensor or Licensee be liable for any damages of the type
described in Section 16.2. 
 Section 13.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. Each of the representations and
warranties made by the parties in this Agreement shall terminate on March 31, 2006; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 8.1(a) and (d) and Section 8.2(a) shall remain
in full force and effect without termination. In the event notice of any claim for indemnification under Sections 13.1(i) or 13.2(i) of this Agreement shall have been given (within the meaning of Section 13.5) within the applicable survival
period, the representations and warranties that are the subject of such indemnification claim shall survive with respect to such claims until such time as such claim is finally resolved. 
 Section 13.5. Notice and Resolution of Claim. 
 (a) The Licensor Indemnified Parties or the Licensee Indemnified Parties to be indemnified hereunder (each, an “Indemnified Party”), as the case may be, shall promptly give written notice to
the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) after obtaining knowledge of any third party claim against the Indemnified Party as to which recovery may be sought against the Indemnifying Party because of the indemnities
set forth in Sections 13.1 or 13.2, specifying in good faith and in reasonable detail the third party claim including, to the extent reasonably practicable, an estimate of Damages claimed, and the basis for indemnification; provided, that the
failure of an Indemnified Party promptly to notify the Indemnifying Party of any such matter shall not release the Indemnifying Party, in whole or in part, from its obligations under this Article 13 except to the extent the Indemnified Party’s
failure to so notify in breach of this Section 13.5 actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any such third party claim at its own cost and expense with counsel selected by
the Indemnifying Party (as to which the Indemnified Party has not promptly and reasonably objected) by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party of its intention to assume such defense within the lesser of (i) thirty (30) days
after notice thereof has been given to the Indemnifying Party, and (ii) five (5) Business Days prior to the date required to answer or respond to any such claim (the “Election Period”). Commencing on the
beginning of and during the Election Period, the Indemnified Party agrees to make available to the Indemnifying Party and its authorized representatives the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the third party claim, as
well as any other information bearing thereon reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of any such third party claim within the Election
Period, then the Indemnified Party shall defend or settle such third party claim in a diligent and commercially reasonable manner and in good faith and may settle such third party claim on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate;
provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall not, in defense of such a third party claim, be permitted to admit any liability with respect to, or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect
to, any such third party claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any such admission,
settlement, compromise, discharge or consent to judgment made by an Indemnified Party without such prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnifying Party may participate in (but not control) any defense assumed by an Indemnified
Party pursuant to this Section 13.5(a), and an Indemnifying Party will bear its own 

  

 48 

 
costs and expenses with respect to such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of
such third party claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof; provided, however, that an Indemnifying Party shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party prior to such
Indemnifying Party’s assumption of such defense. 
 (b) If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such third
party claim, the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Article 13 shall include taking all steps deemed necessary by the Indemnifying Party, acting in good faith, in the investigation, defense or settlement of such third party claim
(including the retention of legal counsel) and the Indemnifying Party shall, as a condition to assuming such defense, acknowledge that it will hold the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all Damages caused by or arising out of any
settlement approved by the Indemnifying Party or any judgment in such claim (subject to the applicable deductibles and limitations set forth in Section 13.4). The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party as to the existence of any
offers to settle such third party claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall not settle a third party claim if to the knowledge of the Indemnifying Party (after notifying and consulting with the Indemnified Party) such action would reasonably be
expected to have a materially adverse impact on the Indemnified Party; otherwise the Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and settlement, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that
such Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in (but not control) such defense or settlement through separate counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party, with the fees and expenses of such participation and separate
counsel borne solely by such Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, in the defense of a third party claim, make any payment of any of such claims, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to any
third party claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless the judgment or proposed settlement (i) involves only the payment of money damages and does
not involve any finding or admission of any violation of law, (ii) includes, as an unconditional term thereof, a release of such Indemnified Party given by the claimant or the plaintiff from any liabilities arising from such third party
claim, and (iii) does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief, directly or indirectly, upon such Indemnified Party or result in an admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate
with the Indemnifying Party in the defense or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith. 
 (c) Indemnified Parties and Indemnifying Parties shall cooperate reasonably in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pre-trial
activities, trial compromise, settlement or discharge of any third party claim, including, without limitation, by providing the other party with reasonable access to employees, directors and officers (as witnesses) and other information. 

(d) All indemnity payments owed under this Article 13 (“Indemnity Payments”), shall be paid in immediately
available funds within ten (10) Business Days after final determination (which is final in the sense that it is no longer subject to appeal) and written request therefor by the Indemnified Party. All such Indemnity Payments shall be made to the
accounts and in the manner specified in writing by the party entitled to such Indemnity 

  

 49 

 
Payments. Any amounts that are not paid within such ten day period shall accrue interest at the Prime Rate on the date such payment is due. 
 (e) In the event of any conflict between Section 12.5 and this Article 13, Article 13 shall govern.

applicable law or (ii) 10 days); or 
 (g) Licensee discontinues all use of all of the Licensed Marks for a period

 REVIEW
COMMITTEE AND LIAISONS 
 Section 15.1. Formation. Licensee, on the one hand, and Licensor, on the other, shall
establish a committee (the “Review Committee”) for the purpose of discussing the parties’ respective businesses conducted in connection with this Agreement, those certain other matters contemplated hereby, including as
set forth in Section 15.2, and such other matters relating to this Agreement, including disputes hereunder, as the parties may desire to raise with one another. Licensee and Licensor shall have the right to appoint an equal number of
representatives to the Review Committee, which shall not exceed two representatives, respectively, unless the parties agree otherwise. The parties’ representatives to the Review Committee shall be officers who (a) have
responsibility for, and familiarity with, in the case of Licensee, Licensee’s business and operations under the Licensed Marks and, in the case of Licensor, Licensor and the Licensor Affiliates’ business as it relates to matters

 Section 15.2. Responsibilities. The Review Committee shall meet once approximately every six months until December 31, 2006, and
annually thereafter during the term of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with and in view of the long-term nature of the License Agreement and changes which may occur in Law or in the marketplace in the
future, in the event that either party proposes amendments in good faith to this Agreement to address any such change to the extent the change would or does result in a material diminishment of the benefits of this Agreement from those that would
have been realized by such party without such change, the Review Committee shall discuss and consider such changes and proposed amendments in good faith and the Review Committee shall serve as a non-exclusive forum in which the parties shall
negotiate in good faith regarding any such proposed changes; provided that no party hereto shall be obligated to agree to any change to this Agreement and nothing in this Section 15.2 shall modify or limit the terms and conditions of
Section 20.3. The Review Committee shall also discuss ways in which each party may benefit from the client base of the other party in marketing or cross-marketing their respective services. The Review Committee shall establish its own
procedures with respect to the conduct of its meetings, provided that Licensee, on the one hand, and Licensor, on the other, shall propose any matters for the agenda of each meeting of the Review Committee reasonably in advance by notice to the
members of the Review Committee. The parties shall in good faith coordinate with one another to establish the schedule of meetings for the Review Committee as contemplated by this Section 15.2. 
 Section 15.3. Liaisons. In supplement to, and without limiting the scope and purposes of, the Review Committee, the parties desire that
Licensor and Licensee each designate an officer thereof to act as a liaison to the other parties for purposes of facilitating communications by and among the parties in connection with matters relating to this Agreement and addressing business
issues and disputes between the parties and issues involving mutual clients that may arise during the term. Licensor and Licensee covenant and agree that its liaison under this Section 15.3 shall have the requisite authority to address the
issues and disputes that may be communicated to such liaison, including direct access to senior-level management of Licensee and Licensor, as applicable, as necessary. Licensor and Licensee shall each designate their respective liaisons under this
Section 15.3 by written notice to the other parties, which notice shall include the relevant contact information for such liaison. Licensor and Licensee shall have the right to replace its liaison from time to time and designate a replacement
liaison who meets the criteria for a liaison contemplated by this Section 5.13, upon notice to the other parties. Licensor shall and shall cause each Licensor Affiliate and the Licensor Liaison, and Licensee shall and shall cause each Company
Affiliate and the Licensee Liaison, to cooperate with one another to ensure that they each respond to any matter raised by another party hereunder, including by its liaison, with due regard for the magnitude and time requirements of such matter and,
with respect to matters relating to any mutual client regarded by Licensor or Licensee as a very important client, on an extremely expedited basis. 
  

 53 

 Section 15.4. Winding Down. This Article 15 shall survive termination of this
Agreement, for the purpose of monitoring, and otherwise coordinating with respect to, the matters contemplated in Section 14.2, and shall thereafter terminate when the obligations of the parties under Section 14.2 have been fulfilled.

 Section 15.5. Non-Exclusive Role. Nothing in this Article 15, including the formation of the Review Committee, its
purposes or the designation of the liaisons hereunder, shall in any way limit or modify Section 16.1.

 Section 16.1. Specific Performance. 
 (a) The parties agree that if any
of the material provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at Law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and
that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity. 
 (b) With respect to any material breach or default under this Agreement by Licensee and without limiting in any way the obligation of Licensor to establish such breach, Licensee hereby waives any defense to (other
than as to Licensor’s ability to establish its likelihood of success on the merits), and to that extent consents to, the order of specific performance and the entry of preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against Licensee barring such
nonperformance or breach and imposing reasonable measures to prevent further nonperformance or breach. 
 (c) This
Section 16.1 shall not in any way limit any remedy that any party may have at law or in equity, and no party shall be required to pursue its rights under this Section 16.1 prior to pursuit of any other remedy at law or in equity. The
remedies provided for in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive. 
 Section 16.2. Limitation of Remedies. None
of the parties hereto shall be liable to any other party for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, unrealized expectations or other similar terms, claimed by such other party resulting

for such Damages payable to any third party as a result of a third party claim.

WARRANTIES. OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 8.1, LICENSOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED MARKS AND THE OTHER MATTERS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING

 OPTION RELATING TO FOREIGN TRADEMARKS 
 Section 18.1. Grant
of Option. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the five-year period commencing on the Effective Date (the “Option Period”), Licensee shall have the option (the
“Option”) to (i) license the Licensed Marks for use solely for the offer and sale of Authorized Services, on the terms provided herein, in the Option Territory and (ii) to the extent permitted by
applicable Law and Licensor’s obligations under applicable agreements of Licensor and the Licensor Affiliates, acquire (a “Foreign Operations Sale”) on an “as is, where is” basis and without warranties, either
Licensor’s brokerage operations (to the extent not then shut down) in the Option Territory or the franchise and affiliation agreements, if any, to which Licensor is a party at the time of such exercise of the Option. 
 Section 18.2. Maintenance of Registration; Limitation. 
 (a) Licensor shall have no obligation to maintain (i) its business operations relating to any Licensed Mark in any country in
the Option Territory or (ii) its use of any Licensed Mark in any country in the Option Territory except with respect to the filings contemplated under Section 18.2(b). In connection with the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that
Licensor and the Licensor Affiliates intend to cease conducting residential real estate brokerage services in the Option Territory, and nothing in this Agreement is intended by the parties, nor shall it be interpreted to prevent, Licensor or any
Licensor Affiliate from reducing the scope of or ceasing such operations in any country or otherwise restrict the conduct of such operations, except as provided herein. 
 (b) Subject to Section 18.2(a), if requested by Licensee at any time during the Option Period, Licensor shall make any filing and pay
any filing fee in connection with the maintenance of the Licensed Marks, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, provided that Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for its expenses in connection therewith, including all filing fees and
attorneys’ fees. 
 Section 18.3. Exercise of Option. 
 (a) The exercise price to be paid by Licensee upon any exercise of the Option shall be $1.00 for each country in the Option Territory
covered by such exercise.

partial exercise during the Option Period, or any exercise of the Option with respect to the remainder of the countries in the Option Territory, for the remaining balance of the Option Period. 
 (c) Following any exercise of the Option, Licensor and Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (at Licensee’s
expense) any consents, authorizations, approvals, permits or licenses and submission of all filings, declarations, registrations or notices as are necessary or advisable under applicable Law, including antitrust Laws (“Option Consents and
Filings”). With respect to any exercise of the Option with respect to Germany, the approval of the German Federal Cartel Office or the confirmation by the German Federal Cartel Office that no filing is required shall be among the Option
Consents and Filings. 
 (d) Following any exercise of the Option, Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file
(at Licensee’s expense) a trademark registration application with respect to the Licensed Marks in each country with respect to which the Option is being exercised, to the extent not already registered (including at Licensee’s request
prior to such time). The procedures for preparing, filing and prosecuting each such trademark registration application shall be those applicable to the registration of Licensed Marks in the Option Territory. Licensor will establish (at
Licensee’s expense) an Eligible SPV in (i) the United States, (ii) in the country with respect to which the Option has been exercised (to the extent permitted by applicable Law), (iii) the country in which
the Licensed Marks with respect to which the Option is being exercised are held at the time of exercise or (iv) such other jurisdiction as Licensor reasonably determines, and shall file such trademark registration application in the name

 (e) Following
(x) the receipt by Licensor of a certificate of registration from the applicable Governmental Authority with respect to each such trademark registration application and (y) the receipt or submission of any Option Consents and
Filings as are necessary or advisable under applicable Law, the parties will in good faith prepare and enter into an addendum or joinder agreement to this Agreement: 
 (i) reflecting the application of the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the use of the Licensed Marks in the country or countries
with respect to which the Option is being exercised, including with respect to quality control matters and the representations and warranties of each of the parties with respect to the Licensed Marks as of the date of the entering into of such
addendum or joinder agreement, and the survival of such representations and warranties for a period of two years thereafter; 
 (ii) amending Schedule C to reflect as part of the Territory under this Agreement the addition of such country with respect to which the Option has been exercised; 
 (iii) providing that Fees shall accrue with respect to Covered Revenue Earned from Authorized Brokerage Services in such country or
countries, as provided herein; 
 (iv) containing such other modification to the terms of this Agreement and additional terms
and conditions as may be reasonably necessary to comport with the 

  

 57 

 
applicable Law of the country or countries with respect to which the Option is being exercised, to permit Licensor and its Affiliates to comply with any
remaining contractual obligations of Licensor and the Licensor Affiliates with respect to the Licensed Marks in such country or countries (including any then-existing broker affiliate agreements) and to accomplish the purposes of this Article 18 and
the intentions of the parties without affecting the financial and legal substance of the matters contemplated by this Agreement in a way that is materially adverse to any party; and 
 (v) otherwise evidencing the agreement of such Eligible SPV to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as a Licensor
hereunder, subject to the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), including with respect to modifications and additions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 (f) In the event that Licensee exercises the Option with respect to any Foreign Operations Sale, following the receipt by Licensor of any
Option Consents and Filings as are necessary or advisable under applicable Law with respect to such Foreign Operations Sale, the parties will in good faith prepare and enter into a separate agreement effecting such Foreign Operations Sale on an
“as is, where is” basis and without warranties, and as otherwise contemplated by this Section 18.3; provided that any Foreign Operations Sale shall be conditioned upon the simultaneous or prior grant of the license for the Licensed
Marks (pursuant to Section 18.3(e)) in the country in which the assets covered by such Foreign Operations Sale are located. 
 Section 18.4. Covenant of Licensor Following Exercise. Following each exercise of the Option, Licensor shall (unless otherwise agreed by Licensor and Licensee), wind-up as promptly as practicable (and in any event
within 180 days) all residential real-estate brokerage operations in the country with respect to which the Option is being exercised, including termination of then-existing broker affiliate agreements and franchise agreements to the extent not being
assigned to Licensee pursuant to a separate agreement, with respect to such country, subject to the requirements of applicable Law in such country and the contractual and legal obligations of Licensor and the Licensor Affiliates in such country.

 Section 18.5. Negative Covenants of Licensor With Respect to Option Territory. During the term of this Agreement,
Holdings and Licensor shall not, and Holdings shall cause the Licensor Affiliates (for so long as they remain Licensor Affiliates) not to, without the consent of Licensee, (a) enter into any new master franchise agreement or affiliation
agreement with respect to the use of (i) any Licensed Mark or (ii) the Sotheby’s Mark for the offer and sale of Authorized Services in any country in the Option Territory, other than Timeshare Brokerage Services and
sales of Artistically Significant Residences in auction format and (b) sell, dispose or otherwise transfer to any Person, other than to an Eligible SPV, or grant a license to any Person to use, (x) any Licensed Mark or
(y) the Sotheby’s Mark for the offer and sale of Authorized Services, in any country in the Option Territory, other than Timeshare Brokerage Services and sales of Artistically Significant Residences in auction format. 
 Section 18.6. Ownership of Marks. Licensee acknowledges that the direct ownership of any Licensed Mark with respect to any country
in the Option Territory may be held by a Licensor Affiliate. In the event that Licensee shall exercise the Option with respect to a country 

  

 58 

 
in the Option Territory for which the Licensed Marks are held by a Licensor Affiliate, Licensor shall cause such Licensor Affiliate to execute the respective
addendum and/or joinder agreement for the purpose of effecting the grant of the license of the Licensed Marks as contemplated herein.
