15.1 Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts, including, without limitation, establishing an enforcement network of attorneys, investigators and customs inspectors in the Territory (the "Network") to minimize and deter (i) the diversion into and sale within the Territory of products, corresponding to the Articles, authorized for sale by its other licensees solely outside the Territory (including, without limitation, unauthorized distribution of such products by the manufacturers and subcontractors of such licensees) ("Parallel Imports"), and (ii) the importation into, or sale or manufacture within, the Territory of counterfeit Articles; in each case subject to Licensee's compliance with its reimbursement obligations
