Except as provided above, neither the Corporation nor any affiliate, owner, director, officer, employee, or agent thereof shall otherwise use the Licensed Mark or any derivative thereof without the prior express written consent of Licensor in its sole and absolute discretion. All rights not expressly granted to the Corporation hereunder shall remain the exclusive property of Licensor. The Corporation shall not have a right to sublicense the Licensed Mark except to a subsidiary and any sublicense shall terminate if such entity ceases to be a subsidiary of the Corporation. The Corporation shall be responsible for any such sublicensee’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1.2 Licensor’s Use. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Licensor, its affiliates, or any of their respective successors or assigns from using or permitting other entities to use the Licensed Mark whether or not such entity directly or indirectly competes or conflicts with the Corporation’s business in any manner, provided that Licensor shall not use the Licensed Mark in connection with business activities involving properties to be leased to or developed primarily for governmental entities, including properties leased to the U.S. General Services Administration.

2.1 Ownership. The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that Licensor is the owner of all right, title, and interest in and to the Licensed Mark, and all such right, title, and interest shall remain with the Licensor. The Corporation shall not otherwise contest, dispute, or challenge Licensor’s right, title, and interest in and to the Licensed Mark during the Term of this Agreement.

2.2 Goodwill. All goodwill and reputation generated by the Corporation’s use of the Licensed Mark shall inure to the benefit of Licensor, and ownership of such goodwill shall rest in Licensor, and is otherwise hereby assigned by the Corporation, without need for any other action by any party. The Corporation shall not by any act or omission use the Licensed Mark in any manner that disparages or reflects adversely on Licensor or its business or reputation. Except as expressly provided herein, neither party may use any trademark or service mark of the other party without that party’s prior written consent, which consent shall be given in that party’s sole discretion.

The Corporation further agrees to use the Licensed Mark in accordance with reasonable quality standards established by Licensor, designed to maintain the quality of the Corporation’s goods and services associated with the Licensed Mark at a level consistent with the goods and services of Licensor. At Licensor’s request, the Corporation will provide Licensor with samples of the Corporation’s or any sublicensee’s use of the Licensed Mark and, if such use does not conform to such standards, Licensor will make such change as shall be requested by Licensor within 30 days of written notice from Licensor.

In such event, Licensor shall provide any non-monetary, reasonable request for assistance for the enforcement of the Licensed Mark by Corporation.
