(iv) The Licensees must not use the Trade Marks in a manner which is prejudicial to the Vendor or a member of the Vendor Group.

(v) If, in its reasonable discretion, the Vendor decides that the use of any of the Trade Marks by the Licensees is in any way prejudicial to the maintenance of any registration of or any other rights of the Vendor in any of the Trade Marks, the Vendor may direct the Purchaser to change its manner of use of any of the Trade Marks within the time specified by the Vendor.

(vi) If the Vendor directs the Licensees to change its manner of use pursuant to clause 10.1(b)(v), the Licensees must take all actions necessary to ensure that its manner of use of the Trade Marks is changed in the manner directed by the Vendor and that all other use of the Trade Marks ceases within the time specified by the Vendor.

(vii) Despite the foregoing, the use of the Trade Marks by the Licensees after the Completion Date in a manner consistent with the use of the Trade Marks by the Group Members immediately prior to that date shall be deemed to be in compliance with the terms set out in paragraphs (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this clause 10.1(b) and the Guidelines, but shall not prevent the Vendor from taking any action pursuant to clause 10.1(b)(v).

(c) Licensees’ Acknowledgements

The Licensees acknowledge that:

(i) all right, title and interest in and to each of the Trade Marks as between the Licensees and the Vendor is and remains vested absolutely in the Vendor;

(ii) the Vendor has the right to apply to register each of the Trade Marks for such goods and/or services as the Vendor sees fit;

(iii) except for the licence and permission granted to it by this Agreement, the Licensees have no right, title or interest in or to any of the Trade Marks;

(ii) the Licensees will not at any time use any of the Trade Marks in a manner likely to prejudice the distinctiveness or reputation of any of the Trade Marks or the validity of any registration for any of the Trade Marks. In particular, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Licensees will not, without the Vendor’s prior written consent, use in their business any other trade mark which is substantially identical with or deceptively similar to any of the Trade Marks or so nearly resembling any of the Trade Marks as to be likely to deceive or cause confusion;

(iii) the Licensees will not use any of the Trade Marks in juxtaposition to any other trade marks, embellishment or device without the prior written consent of the Vendor;

(iv) the Licensees will not either within or outside the Territory seek to register any of the Trade Marks for any goods or services in respect of which any of the Trade Marks are registered or used or for any similar or closely related goods or services; and

(v) the Licensees will, from time to time at the request of the Vendor, execute and provide to the Vendor (or as the Vendor may direct and at the Vendor’s expense) any consents, authorisations or other documents reasonably required to secure or perfect the Vendor’s rights, titles and interests in and to any of the Trade Marks.

(e) Except in relation to existing documents and goods to which one or more of the Trade Marks have already been lawfully applied, where any of the Trade Marks is used in a document issued by or on behalf of one or more of the Licensees, or where any goods and services bear or are advertised, promoted, offered for sale or sold under or by reference to any of the Trade Marks, the Licensees must, unless otherwise authorised by the Vendor in writing, include in that document or on or in relation to those goods and services the text:

“MAYNE is a trade mark used under licence from Mayne Group Limited by [insert name of Purchaser]”,

positioned as a footnote as close as practicable to where the Trade Marks first appear in that document or on or in relation to those goods and services.

10.2    Cessation of use of Reserved Name

Unless otherwise agreed, the Licensees must ensure that the Group and the Business:

(a) provide the Vendor with copies of completed “Articles of Amendment” for the Group Members which uses the Reserved Name to change the name of the company to a name not including the Reserved Name with proof that they have been filed with the Director in accordance with the Canada Business Corporations Act;

(b) provide the Vendor with copies of completed Notices of Cessation of Business Name (or equivalent document) for any business names used by the Group or the Business which incorporate the Reserved Name with proof that they have been lodged with the appropriate authorities by Completion; and

24

(c) provide the Vendor with copies of cancellation notices for domain names (or equivalent document) for any domain names used by the Group or the Business which incorporate the Reserved Name with proof that they have been lodged with the appropriate authorities by Completion.

10.3    Infringement

(a) If any of the Licensees receives notice, or otherwise becomes aware, of any infringement of, misuse of, unauthorised use of, act inconsistent with, challenge to or claim, demand or suit against or related to any of the Trade Marks (an “Infringement”), the Licensee must notify the Vendor as soon as possible giving such detailed particulars of the Infringement as it reasonably can.

(b) The Vendor may consult with the Licensees about the appropriate action to take in relation to any Infringement notified by the Licensees to the Vendor pursuant to clause 10.3(a).

(c) The Vendor may in its sole discretion:

(i) take such action as it deems necessary or desirable (including, without limitation, issuing, conducting or settling legal or administrative proceedings) to bring the Infringement to an end; or

(ii) require the Licensees at the Vendor’s reasonable expense to take such action as the Vendor deems necessary or desirable (including issuing, conducting or settling legal or administrative proceedings) to bring the Infringement to an end; or

(iii) elect to take no action at all, in which case no action will be taken in respect of that Infringement.

10.4    Indemnity

The Purchaser hereby indemnifies and holds indemnified each member of the Vendor Group against all Liabilities incurred or suffered by any member of the Vendor Group as a result of, or arising directly or indirectly out of, a failure by any of the Licensees to comply with their obligations as set out in this clause 10.
