4.10  FORCE MAJEURE.

6.3. TRADEMARK REGISTRATION:  LICENSOR shall maintain the trademark registration of the Mark in all countries within the Territory in which the Mark is registered as of the Effective Date.  In the event the Territory includes countries in which the Mark has not yet been registered, LICENSOR shall, upon request by LICENSEE and within a reasonably prompt period of time, obtain trademark registration of the Mark in such countries.  In the event the Mark is not registerable in a particular country within the Territory, the failure to obtain registration thereof shall not be deemed a breach hereof by LICENSOR.

5

  

 

6.4  FORMULA OF THE LICENSED PRODUCTS:  LICENSEE acknowledges the ownership of the formula of the Licensed Products by LICENSOR and acknowledges that such particular formula is a trade secret.

7. MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

 

7.1. MARKETING:  LICENSOR shall provide LICENSEE with copies of all current marketing materials used and/or developed by LICENSOR in the marketing of the Licensed Products (the “Licensor Marketing Materials”). LICENSEE may not alter any legally required labeling and notices provided by LICENSOR on the Licensed Product or in the packaging materials of the Licensed Products, provided, however, LICENSEE may produce and distribute marketing materials in accordance herewith.  Subject to the foregoing requirement, LICENSEE may, but is not required to, use any or all of the Licensor Marketing Materials in its marketing of the Licensed Products in the Territory.  LICENSEE may develop its own marketing materials (the “Licensee Marketing Materials”) to use independently or in conjunction with the Licensor Marketing Materials, in its sole discretion, provided LICENSEE must include in the Licensee Marketing Materials, all disclosures or notices provided by LICENSOR as required under any applicable laws.

 

7.2. FOREIGN DISTRIBUTIONS: Any Licensed Product sold outside of the United States shall, in addition to the requirements listed in Article 5, above, be marked as required by the law and regulations of the country in which it is sold.  LICENSEE shall be responsible for compliance with the local laws of all foreign countries in the Territory regarding the marketing and distribution of the Licensed Products and all domestic laws regarding the export of Licensed Products (including, but not limited to, Chapter XIII of the Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act).  To the extent that LICENSEE desires to expand its sales and distribution operations into a market not currently served by the LICENSOR with respect to sales of the Licensed Products, LICENSEE shall be solely and exclusively responsible for any and all non-recurring charges required for expansion into such new market including, but not limited to, any charges for new printing plates, labeling changes, conversion of packaging and label text into a foreign language, art work, die charges and any other such costs (the "Non-Recurring Charges").  If LICENSEE requires changes to the text or labeling or packaging in a market in which sales of the Licensed Products are already made, then it shall be responsible for all Non-Recurring Charges attributable to such change.  If a change in the text of the labeling or packaging of the Licensed Products is required by a governmental authority of a territory in which the Licensed Products are already sold, then LICENSOR shall bear the costs of the Non-Recurring Charges.  LICENSOR shall procure the packaging to be used for the Licensed Products in such new market into which LICENSEE is expanding sales of the Licensed Products, the cost of which shall be passed onto LICENSEE at the time that the Licensed Products are purchased by LICENSEE from LICENSOR.  To the extent that LICENSOR has procured the packaging materials to be used in the new expansion market, such purchase is to be based upon the market projections provided to it by LICENSEE.  If after six (6) months from the first shipment, the sales by LICENSEE in the new expansion market are less than the sales included in LICENSEE’s projections for sales in such market provided to LICENSOR, resulting in LICENSOR having excess packaging materials for such market, then LICENSEE shall be required to purchase such unused packaging materials from LICENSOR, with the purchase price for finished Licensed Products from LICENSOR to be subsequently reduced by the cost of such purchased packaging material.

 

  

6

  

 

7.3. PERMITTED DISTRIBUTEES:  LICENSEE may distribute the Licensed Products directly to members of the public for end use of the Licensed Products or to other distributors, including, but not limited to,  retail distributors, doctors’ offices and hospitals.

 

7.4. NON-PERMITTED DISTRIBUTEES: LICENSEE shall not sell the Licensed Products to any person or entity which LICENSEE knows, should have known, or had reason to believe would sell them outside the Territory or in a way that would ultimately lead to their sale outside the Territory.

 

7.5  NEW PRODUCTS:  LICENSEE AND LICENSOR shall work together using their best efforts in good faith to bring at least one new product to market each year during the Term.  Upon mutual written agreement of the parties hereto, such new product shall be included within the scope of “Licensed Products” as used herein.

 

7.6  QUARTERLY MEETINGS:  LICENSEE AND LICENSOR shall meet at least once per calendar quarter, either in person or by teleconference, to review sales of the Licensed Products and discuss plans for increasing such sales.

 

8. INFRINGEMENT

 

LICENSEE shall notify LICENSOR promptly of any actual or threatened infringements, imitations, or unauthorized use of the Mark or any patent held by LICENSOR with respect to the Licensed Products by third parties of which LICENSEE becomes aware. LICENSOR shall have the sole right, at its expense, to bring any action on account of any such infringements, imitations or unauthorized use, and LICENSEE shall cooperate with LICENSOR, as LICENSOR may reasonably request, in connection with any such action brought by LICENSOR.

9.  INDEMNIFICATION

 

9.1.  BY LICENSOR:

 

LICENSOR hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold LICENSEE, its successors and assigns, and its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as "LICENSEE Corporate") harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, damages, including without limitation, suits for personal injury or death of third parties, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, for which LICENSEE may become liable or may incur or be compelled to pay as a result of (i) LICENSOR’S negligent performance of (or its failure to perform) its obligations or responsibilities hereunder, or (ii) LICENSOR’S breach of any of its covenants, representations and warranties under this Agreement, or (iii) any claim based upon allegations of negligence or strict liability, which are attributable to any act of LICENSOR, its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, or subcontractors, or (iv) claims of infringement of any intellectual property right as the result of LICENSOR’S actions or omissions; or (v) any recall of the Licensed Products resulting from defects or other problems with respect to the formula or formulation of the Licensed Products.  In the event there is a claim against LICENSEE for which indemnification from LICENSOR is sought hereunder, LICENSOR shall have the right to defend, settle or contest said claim, at LICENSOR'S sole discretion, so long as the exercise of such discretion does not adversely affect LICENSEE in a substantial manner and does not affect the Mark in any way.

9.2  BY LICENSEE:

 

LICENSEE hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold LICENSOR, its successors and assigns, and its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as the “LICENSOR Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, damages including, but not limited to, suits for personal injury or death of third parties and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, for which any of the LICENSOR Indemnified Parties may become liable or may incur or be compelled to pay as a result of (i) LICENSEE’S negligent performance of (or its failure to perform) its obligations or responsibilities hereunder; or (ii) LICENSEE’S breach of any of its covenants, representations and warranties under this Agreement; or (iii) any claim based upon allegations of negligence or strict liability which are attributable to any act of LICENSEE, its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives or subcontractors, or any recall of the Licensed Products resulting from defects or other problems with respect to the labeling of the Licensed Products, to the extent arising from changes in the labeling of the Licensed Products requested by LICENSEE.  In the event that there is a claim against any of the LICENSOR Indemnified Parties for which indemnification from LICENSEE is sought hereunder, LICENSEE shall have the right to defend, settle or contest said claim, at LICENSEE’S sole discretion, so long as the exercise of such discretion does not adversely affect LICENSOR in a substantial manner and does not affect the Mark in any way.  This Article shall survive expiration of termination of this Agreement.
