NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations as provided herein, and other good and valuable consideration, Licensor and Licensee agree as follows:

1.            Grant of License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee an exclusive right and license to use the Licensed Marks solely in connection with its Business.

4.            Use of Licensed Mark. Licensee shall use the Licensed Marks in accordance with sound trademark and tradename usage principles and shall not use the Licensed marks in any manner which would tarnish, dilute, disparage, or reflect adversely on Licensor, the Licensed Marks or the goodwill associated therewith.

5.            Property of Licensor. Licensee acknowledges that the Licensed Marks and all rights therein (with the exception of those rights expressly granted to Licensee hereunder), and the goodwill pertaining thereto belong exclusively to Licensor. Licensee’s use of the Licensed Marks shall inure to the benefit of Licensor for all purposes, including without limitation and rights with respect to trademark registrations. Licensee shall not (i) register or attempt to register the Licensed Marks or any confusingly similar tradename, trademark, service mark or domain name in its own name or any other name, or (ii) use the Licensed Marks other than in connection with its Business.

6.            Termination. In the event of a material breach of the terms of this Agreement by Licensee, Licensor may terminate this Agreement by providing Licensee with thirty (30) days written notice and opportunity to cure such breach.

7.            Defense of Licensed Marks. Each party shall promptly notify the other of any infringement or other violation of or challenge to the Licensed Marks by any third party of which it becomes aware.

8.            Indemnification. Licensee agrees to indemnify and hold Licensor and its employees and agents, harmless against any liability, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, judgments or settlements of any nature or kind (including reasonable costs of investigation, reasonable attorney, accountant and expert witness fees), incurred by Licensor by reason of Licensee’s use of the Licensed Marks.
