the Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed and shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such Confidential Information.
(b)    Each Party acknowledges that it and the other members of its Group may have in its or their possession confidential or proprietary Information of third parties that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with such third party while such Party and/or members of its Group were part of the Parent Group.

- 6 -

the aggrieved party may seek injunctive relief or other appropriate remedies; provided, however, that such Party shall not, under any circumstances (including bankruptcy or insolvency of the other Party), terminate such licenses. In the event of any breach of this Agreement, both Parties may continue to operate under the licenses herein, and an aggrieved party’s sole remedy shall be injunctive relief to restrain use outside the license scope, an order for specific performance of this Agreement, and monetary damages and awards as appropriate.
Section 8.2    Effect of Expiration and Termination; Accrued Rights; Survival.

(b)    Termination of Sublicenses.  Any sublicenses that have been granted to a sublicensee with respect to the Licensed IP subject to expiration or termination of this Agreement, in part or in its entirety, shall automatically terminate upon such expiration or termination of the sublicense.

GRANT OF RIGHTS

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent hereby grants to SpinCo a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-assignable (except as set forth in Section 7.5 (Assignment)), sublicensable (pursuant to Section 2.1(c) (Sublicensing) of this Agreement), royalty-free, fully paid-up license to use the Licensed Marks only: 
(1)    in connection with Products and Services, for the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending two (2) years thereafter (“Transition Term”); 
(2)    as incorporated in the SpinCo Domains to use such SpinCo Domains as a domain mask for a website of SpinCo’s designation in connection with the SpinCo Business during the Transition Term and so long as such website bears a statement as to the non-affiliation of the Parties; and 
(3)    as incorporated in the SpinCo Domains to redirect visitors to such domain to a website of SpinCo’s designation in connection with the SpinCo Business, in perpetuity; 
each of the foregoing subsections (1-3) subject to the further provisions in Subsections (b) and (d) below. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the license granted in subsection (3) herein is intended to limit consumer confusion and ensure that customers are able to locate the SpinCo Business.
(b)    Domain Specifics. The Parties acknowledge that, as of the Effective Date, the SpinCo Domains are owned by SpinCo and the Parent Domains are owned by Parent, and each shall continue to be so owned. During the Term, Parent shall forward any electronic mail accounts as deemed necessary by SpinCo from the Parent Domains, and SpinCo shall forward any electronic mail accounts as deemed necessary by Parent from the SpinCo Domains. In the event SpinCo proposes to allow any SpinCo Domain to lapse, SpinCo will provide Parent with notice of the same reasonably before allowing such SpinCo Domain to lapse, to permit Parent to take over administration of the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such failure to provide notice shall not be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. 
(c)    Sublicensing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent hereby grants to SpinCo the right to sublicense its rights under this Agreement in connection with activities in the 
2

SpinCo Business by its controlled Affiliates, but not for the independent use of Third Parties, during the Term. Any sublicense granted by SpinCo hereunder must include terms and restrictions on the use of the Licensed Marks that are no less stringent than those applicable to SpinCo under this Agreement. SpinCo will ensure that its sublicensees comply with the terms of this Agreement to the extent applicable to them. SpinCo will remain responsible for any breach of this Agreement resulting from any action or failure to act by any Affiliate. 
(d)    Cessation of Use. Upon cessation of use by SpinCo of any Licensed Mark or Domain Name, such Licensed Mark or Domain Name will be deemed no longer licensed pursuant to this Article II. SpinCo and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce and cease its/their use of the Licensed Marks and transition to new trade names, service marks, trademarks, or logos, as the case may be, as soon as reasonably practicable. 
(e)    Reservation of Rights. Any rights not granted to SpinCo in this Agreement are specifically reserved by and for Parent and its Affiliates. Except as expressly provided in Section 2.1 (Grants), no licenses or other rights are implied or granted by estoppel or otherwise.

Parent may modify the Usage Guidelines from time to time by providing SpinCo with reasonable advance notice of such modifications; provided that Parent may not impose any standards or restrictions on SpinCo that are more onerous than those applied to its or its Affiliates’ use of the Licensed Marks. During the Term, Licensee will adhere to the level of quality for the Products and Services marketed and sold using the Licensed Marks, at least as high as that maintained by Parent and its Affiliates prior to the Effective Date.
Section 3.3    SpinCo may continue to sell any Products and Services bearing the Licensed Marks during the term in the form that is substantially similar to that sold by Parent and its Affiliates prior to the Effective Date without prior approval.

Section 3.5    During the Term, SpinCo shall not: (i) unless otherwise approved in writing by Parent in advance of such use, alter the Licensed Marks in any manner, including proportions, colors, elements, or otherwise; or animate, morph or otherwise distort its perspective or appearance; or alter any proprietary indicators, such as “TM,” or ®, which appear with the Licensed Marks; (ii) use the Licensed Marks in any manner that violates any Applicable Laws; (iii) use the Licensed Marks as a feature or design element of or alongside or in conjunction with any other logo or any other SpinCo’s name and/or trademark, unless

If SpinCo obtains any rights or interests in the Licensed Marks, SpinCo (on behalf of itself and its Affiliate) hereby transfers, and shall execute upon request by Parent any additional documents or instruments necessary or desirable to transfer, those rights or interests to Parent and its Affiliates. SpinCo acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an assignment of any ownership interest in or to the Licensed Marks, and SpinCo shall not acquire any ownership of the Licensed Marks. 
Section 4.2    SpinCo and its Affiliates agree not to (a) use or register in any jurisdiction any trademarks confusingly similar to, or consisting in whole or in part of, the Licensed Marks, (b) register the Licensed Marks in any jurisdiction, without in each case the express prior written consent of Parent, or (c) use the Licensed Marks in any trade name, service name, corporate name or designation without the express prior written consent of Parent.

If Parent decides to enforce the Licensed Marks against an infringer, all costs incurred and recoveries made shall be for the account of Parent.

The Parties agree that this Section 6.1 does not limit or modify SpinCo’s indemnity obligations under the Separation Agreement.
Section 6.2    Parent shall, during the Term and for twelve (12) months thereafter, fully indemnify and hold harmless SpinCo Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses asserted against or suffered by any such party and arising out of a Third Party Claim that SpinCo’s use of the Licensed Marks in accordance with the terms of this Agreement infringes any third party trademark rights.

6

withheld or delayed), and any attempt to assign any rights or obligations arising under this Agreement without such consent shall be void.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be assignable to (i) a subsidiary of a Party, or (ii) a bona fide unaffiliated third party in connection with a change of control of a Party so long as the resulting, surviving or transferee entity assumes all the obligations of the relevant party hereto by operation of law or otherwise; provided however that, unless otherwise agreed by the non-assigning Party or in connection with a change of control of a Party as described above, no assignment permitted by this Section shall release the assigning Party from liability for the full performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
Section 7.6    Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement and the obligations and rights hereunder shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by (and against) the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 7.8    Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and should not be deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.
Section 7.9    Title and Headings.  Titles and headings to sections herein are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 7.13    Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  The Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Section 7.14    Interpretation.  The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

Wherever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”  References to “dollar” or “$” contained herein are to United States Dollars (unless 
7

otherwise specified).  The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.
Section 7.15    No Waiver.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
Section 7.16    Bankruptcy.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is a contract under which each Parent is a Parent of intellectual property as provided in Section 365(n) of Title 11, United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”).

Section 7.17    Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the other Party and its Affiliates and that no such Party or its Affiliates will have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which the Parties may have under this Agreement or otherwise. 
Section 7.18    Relationship of the Parties. Nothing contained herein is intended or shall be deemed to make either Party the agent, employee, partner or joint venturer of the other Party or be deemed to provide such Party with the power or authority to act on behalf of the other Party or to bind the other Party to any contract, agreement or arrangement with any other individual or entity.
Section 7.19    Further Assurances.
