Nautilus hereby accepts such license and acknowledges and admits that, notwithstanding its joint ownership of the Marks through ownership of an interest in Licensor, it is expressly prohibited from using the Marks in any way related to the Cycling Business. 2.1.3 Neither Nautilus nor Acquisition shall have any license or other right to use the Marks in connection with an Unrelated Business, unless such a license is hereafter specifically granted by Licensor under a separate agreement. 2.1.4 The licenses of the Parties set forth in this Section 2.1 shall include the right to grant sub-licenses to any Third Party (including an Affiliate) who agrees to be bound by the terms of Articles 2 and 3 hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereby agrees to take no action that is inconsistent in any material respect with the respective rights of the Parties granted in this Section 2.1 or that would cause material dilution of the Marks in violation of this Agreement. 2.2 FUTURE ACTIONS. 2.2.1 The Parties shall not use any Future Marks without the prior written consent of Licensor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Upon request of a Licensee to use any Future Mark, Licensor shall determine whether such Future Mark would likely cause confusion with, or dilution of, any Mark or infringement of an exclusive license granted in this Agreement. If Licensor determines such use of a Future Mark is not likely to cause confusion or dilution 4 or infringement of an exclusive license granted in this Agreement, Licensor shall create and own such Future Mark and shall apply for registration of such Future Mark in such jurisdictions as are requested by the requesting Licensee, and the Future Mark shall be added as a Mark under this Agreement and licensed accordingly. The requesting Licensee shall perform all functions and execute all documents necessary to effectuate this Paragraph. 2.2.2 To the extent permitted by law, Licensor shall file in its name any application necessary to maintain registration of the Marks, the Future Marks and Domain Names in the United States ("Required Filings") and may file in its name any application necessary to maintain registration of the Marks, the Future Marks and Domain Names in any other jurisdiction ("Permitted Filings"). If Licensor does not make a Required Filing within the earlier of thirty (30) days of written notice of such failure or within ten (10) days before any filing deadline established by or binding upon the body with which the filing is made, Licensor hereby grants Licensees an irrevocable power of attorney to make such Required Filing in the name of Licensor on Licensor's behalf for Marks which they are licensed to use under this Agreement. If Licensor does not make a Permitted Filing that has been requested by a Licensee within the earlier of thirty (30) days of written request by such Licensee or within ten (10) days before any filing deadline established by or binding upon the body with which the filing is made, Licensor hereby grants Licensees an irrevocable power of attorney to make such filing in the name of Licensor on Licensor's behalf for Marks which they are licensed to use under this Agreement. All reasonable expenses for all Required Filings (and all Permitted Filings made by Licensor) shall be born by Licensor. All reasonable expenses for all Permitted Filings made by a Licensee shall be born by such Licensee. 2.2.3 At an exclusive Licensee's request, and as permitted by law and the body with which a filing for a Mark covered by an exclusive license is made, such Licensee shall be added as a party to receive the same notices as Licensor receives from such filing body in respect of such filings. 2.3 Trademark Notices and Attribution. Acquisition and Nautilus shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that the products bearing the Marks and any services with respect to which the Marks are used and any other materials displaying or incorporating the Marks (E.G., advertising and promotional materials) shall include symbols and notices that are legally sufficient to give public notice of each Party's right, title and interest thereto and to preserve and protect the Marks. Each use of the Marks shall be followed by either the "(TM)" or "SM" symbol (as applicable), if such use occurs before the Mark is federally registered, or the "(R)" symbol, if such use occurs after a federal registration (or such similar registrations as used in other jurisdictions) issues in any jurisdiction. This Section 2.3 only requires use of such symbols as required to give such notice, and would not, for example, require use of the symbol every time the Mark was used in a document if the symbol was used at least once in a manner as to provide such notice. 2.4 DOMAIN NAMES. 2.4.1 The Parties acknowledge that the existing world wide web sites represented by the Domain Names (the "Existing Sites") currently host content or are intended to host content related to both the Cycling Business and Fitness Business. The Parties shall cooperate with each other to provide for the orderly transition of the content related to the Cycling Business that is contained on the Existing Sites to a web site or sites controlled by Acquisition and the content related to the Fitness Business that is contained on the Existing Sites to a web site or sites controlled by Nautilus. Each Party consents to the other Party's use of the trade dress and other protectable look and feel that is associated with the Existing Sites. To the extent any of the Domain Names includes a Combination Mark, the Parties agree that right to use such Domain Names shall be allocated between the Parties in the same manner as the Combination 5 Marks. By way of example and not of limitation, the Domain Name "Schwinnfitness.com" is a Combination Mark and may only be used by Nautilus, while the Domain Name "Schwinn" which is both a Mark and an Existing Site, will be operated by the Licensor and contain links to websites maintained by Nautilus and Acquisition relating to the Cycling Business and Fitness business, respectively. 2.4.2 Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Existing Sites shall continue to be owned and maintained by Licensor and serve as a link to the web sites on which the content referenced in Paragraph 2.4.1 is transferred or any other web site related to the Cycling Business for Acquisition and the Fitness Business for Nautilus, as reasonably requested by the Licensees. Such links may, at the option of the Parties, be transparent to users. 2.5 RIGHT TO SUBMIT FOR APPROVAL. Each Licensee shall have the right, but no obligation, to submit any plan of operations, or product or service to the Licensor and request the Licensor's response as to whether the proposed use by such Licensee of any or all of the Marks in connection with such plan of operations, product, or service would be permitted under this Agreement (including the quality standards and scope of the license granted under this Agreement). Licensor shall have twenty (20) days to notify the requesting Licensee of Licensor's approval or disapproval, and in the case of disapproval, the specific reasons for such disapproval in sufficient detail as to allow the requesting Licensee to respond to such disapproval and, if it chooses to, modify the proposed use of the Marks so that it meets the reasons for such disapproval. If the requesting Licensee disagrees with a disapproval, its exclusive remedy is to have the matter resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of the LLC Agreement. ARTICLE 3 QUALITY STANDARDS 3.1 PRESERVATION OF MARK VALUES; DISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCTS. The Parties recognize that the value of the Marks is in part dependent on the quality of products sold under the Marks and the lines of retail distribution of their respective products and the manner in which lines of distribution are addressed. Accordingly, the Parties agree as follows: 3.2 ACQUISITION QUALITY STANDARDS. All of the products and services sold by Acquisition in connection with the Cycling Business that bear or are designated by the Marks shall at all times comply in all material respects with (i) all applicable laws and regulations pertaining to the marketing, rendering and sale of the products and services connected to the Cycling Business, and (ii) at least the minimum quality control standards, safety regulations, and specifications established in the bicycle industry for the particular goods sold and the particular distribution channels (e.g., higher quality standards for specialty bicycle shop goods), where the failure to so comply with (ii) would result in a material loss of value in the Marks. In order to prolong an association of the Marks with high-end, specialty merchandise, Acquisition agrees not to deliver Cycling Products that bear or are designated by the Marks to Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, Toys `R Us, Sears or similar retailers, or to Sam's Club, Costco, Warehouse Club, or other smaller warehouse-type outlets (collectively "Restricted Stores") prior to August 1, 2002. From and after August 1, 2002, there shall be no restriction on Acquisition's ability to deliver Cycling products to the Restricted Stores. 3.3 NAUTILUS QUALITY STANDARDS. All of the products and services sold by Nautilus in connection with the Fitness Business that bear or are designated by the Marks shall at all times comply in 6 all material respects with (i) all applicable laws and regulations pertaining to the marketing, rendering and sale of the products and services connected to the Fitness Business, and (ii) at least the minimum quality control standards, safety regulations, and specifications established in the fitness industry for the particular goods sold and the particular distribution channels (e.g., higher quality standards for specialty exercise shop goods), where the failure to so comply with (ii) would result in a material loss of value in the Marks. 3.4 LICENSOR ACTION. Upon Licensor certifying to a Licensee that Licensor has reasonable grounds to believe (including the basis for the belief) that such Licensee is not in compliance with this Article, Licensor shall have the right, at its expense, to audit such Licensee's quality control standards and procedures for compliance with this Article upon reasonable prior notice to such Licensee, but not more than once every twelve (12) months. Upon Licensor's reasonable written request made not more than once every twelve (12) months, such Licensee shall provide Licensor with general information as to the types and extent (but not dollar amount or volume of unit sales of products or services) of Licensee's uses of the Marks. Licensee will use reasonable efforts to include in agreements with outside suppliers, contract manufacturers and sub-licensees a requirement that each comply in all material respects with all applicable laws. All persons participating in the audit or with access to the information described in this Section 3.4 shall execute and deliver a confidentiality agreement containing the terms of Section 8.14 for the benefit of Licensee. In the event that, in the reasonable opinion of the Licensor, Licensee's products and services that bear or are designated by the Marks fail to comply with the quality standards of this Article, Licensor shall give Licensee written notice setting forth in reasonable detail such failure, and Licensee shall, at its expense and within thirty (30) days thereafter, begin to take such corrective action as is necessary to comply with such standards. Failure to take such corrective action within one hundred and eighty (180) days or such longer period as is allowed under applicable law shall constitute a breach of this Agreement. If the Licensee disagrees with Licensor's determination under this Section 3.4, its exclusive remedy is to have the matter resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of the LLC Agreement.
