Page 3
136180672.12



Teekay from time to time, the “Style Guidelines”). From time to time and without TOO’s approval, Teekay may modify certain elements of the Licensed Marks or the Style Guidelines.

In the event that Teekay makes modifications to the Licensed Marks or the Style Guidelines, TOO will be subject to any such modifications effective upon reasonable written notification from Teekay; provided, however, that TOO shall be allowed a reasonable transition period to make such modifications to affected Vessels, to materials used in connection with the TOO Business bearing pre-modified Licensed Marks and with respect to any other uses of the Licensed Marks permitted hereunder.

2.6    Prestige of Licensed Marks. TOO acknowledges that the Licensed Marks, and in particular the “Teekay” name, are world renowned, have established international prestige and goodwill, and hold a certain position in the marketplace, and that it is of great importance to Teekay that in the operation of the TOO Business, the high standards and reputation that Teekay has established and its position in the marketplace be maintained.  Accordingly, TOO shall comply with the terms of this Agreement with respect to the use of the Licensed Marks and the quality of the services offered in connection therewith and shall otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct the TOO Business in a manner that safeguards the prestige and goodwill of the Teekay Trademarks.

2.9    Non-Disparagement. During the term of the Agreement, each Party shall not knowingly injure, disparage, criticize or dilute the reputation of the other Party or the goodwill symbolized by the Licensed Marks, other than truthful statements or statements contained in and relevant to any claim or defense contained in a claim filed in connection with a dispute pursuant to Section 9.13 between the Parties including to enforce or judicially construe this Agreement.

2.11    Removal of Teekay Trademarks from Vessels. TOO will remove each Teekay Trademark wherever it has been used on each Vessel (a) prior to transferring any controlling ownership interest in such Vessel to any Person (other than transfers to an Affiliate of TOO) or will contractually require such Person to promptly remove each Teekay Trademark upon assuming a controlling ownership interest in the Vessel; (b) prior to using such Vessel in connection with any business other than the TOO Business; and (c) prior to displaying anywhere on such Vessel any trademark or service mark other than a Teekay Trademarks or trademark, service mark or logo owned by or exclusively licensed to TOO or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date.

(b)    If Teekay intends not to renew or otherwise fails to maintain any registration for any Teekay Trademark, Teekay will use commercially reasonable efforts to timely notify TOO, and if TOO reasonably believes that the loss of the registration would be material to the TOO Business, upon TOO’s request and at TOO’s cost, Teekay will make all filings and take all other actions necessary to maintain the registration in full force and effect.
3.3    Confusingly Similar Marks. Except as permitted under this Agreement, during the term and during the three (3) year period following the termination of this Agreement, TOO shall not use or authorize the use of, or apply to register, any configuration, mark, name, design, ship livery, trade dress, logo or other designation identical or confusingly similar (as defined by Applicable Legal Requirements) to any Licensed Mark. During the Term of this Agreement, prior to adopting, registering, applying for registering, announcing or marketing any new trademark and trade dress for the TOO Business, TOO shall provide Teekay with an opportunity to review such trademark and trade dress in order to determine whether in Teekay’s view such new trademark or trade dress is confusingly similar (as defined by Applicable Legal Requirements) to any Licensed Mark.

TOO’s report will include a comparison of its KPI performance against targets and against the Teekay KPI performance and, in the event of any shortfall by TOO, proposed remediation measures. Within five days following provision of any KPI report to the board of the General Partner, TOO will provide Teekay with a copy of such KPI report, provided, however, Teekay will limit circulation of such KPI reports to Teekay personnel with a need to know such information in connection with their job functions, which personnel shall be made aware of the confidential nature of such information and shall agree not to disclose such information other than as expressly permitted under this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights or obligations of the Parties under the Investment Agreement.
9.2    Termination Rights Under Omnibus Agreement. For the term of this Agreement, including any post termination transition period described in Section 6.5 hereof, TOO and the General Partner will not exercise any rights of termination under Section 8.4 of the Omnibus Agreement.
9.3    Independent Contractor Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to make the Parties partners, joint venturers, representatives or agents of each other, nor shall either Party so represent to any third Person. The Parties are acting in performance of this Agreement as independent contractors engaged in the operation of their respective businesses. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement constitutes a license of trademark and intellectual property rights and does not give rise to a franchise relationship and neither Party will make any claims to the applicability of franchise or similar laws. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Party shall negotiate, enter into or sign any written or oral contract or agreement on behalf of the other Party or its Affiliates or otherwise bind the other Party or its Affiliates with respect to any liability or obligation.
9.4    Modification; Waiver. Subject to the right of Teekay to amend Schedule A by adding or deleting one or more Licensed Marks, this Agreement will not be modified except by a document signed and made part of this Agreement by an authorized signing officer of each of Teekay and TOO. No waiver by a Party of any breach of this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and the waiver will not prevent the subsequent enforcement of that provision, nor will it be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach.
9.5    No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the rights of the indemnified parties under Section 7.3, nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person other than the Parties hereto any legal or equitable right, remedy, claim or other benefit under or by reason of this Agreement.
9.6    Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified only by a written instrument executed by both Parties.
9.7    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is, or is deemed to be, unenforceable in any jurisdiction will be severable from this Agreement in that jurisdiction without in any way invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and that unenforceability will not make that provision unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.
9.8    Assignment; Successors. This Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their successors, and permitted assigns. Neither Party may assign this Agreement, or any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that (a) Teekay shall be permitted to assign this Agreement to any subsequent owner of the Licensed Marks upon written notice to TOO provided that such Person agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) TOO shall be permitted to assign this Agreement to an Affiliate or in connection with the sale of all or substantially of its assets, provided, that TOO notifies Teekay of such assignment and that any such successor in interest agrees in writing to

be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (c) TOO may pledge this agreement as collateral to any financing source.
9.9    Insolvency Matters.
(a)    All rights and licenses granted to TOO under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended from time to time (the “Bankruptcy Code”), a license of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that TOO will retain and may fully exercise all of their respective rights and elections as licensees of intellectual property under the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree and acknowledge that enforcement by the Parties of their respective rights under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code in connection with this Agreement shall not violate the automatic stay of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and waive any right to object on such basis.
(b)    To the extent any license of rights under or pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute a license to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, Teekay hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (i) this Agreement is a material inducement to TOO paying Teekay the consideration due under the Investment Agreement and TOO is relying on this Agreement in connection with its business and investment planning; (ii) this Agreement gives Teekay sufficient control over the quality of the products sold by TOO; (iii) Teekay (and any debtor-in-possession or trustee of the business of Teekay) cannot and shall not attempt to reject this Agreement pursuant to Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any foreign equivalent; and (iv) in the event Teekay (or any debtor-in-possession or trustee of the business of Teekay) does seek to reject this Agreement and in the event such relief is granted, (w) the rejection shall be treated merely as breach of the contract by Teekay and not its avoidance, rescission, or termination, (x) does not terminate TOO’s right to use such license (subject, in all events, to TOO’s compliance with the terms and obligations of this Agreement and Teekay’s continued enforcement and quality control rights hereunder) and has no effect upon the contract’s continued existence, (y) TOO may elect rights under Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any foreign equivalent, and (z) TOO shall be entitled to seek other equitable treatment relating to such rejection.
9.10    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts with the same effect as if both Parties had signed the same document; both counterparts will be construed together and will constitute one and the same agreement.
9.11    Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The words “date hereof” shall refer to the date of this Agreement. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and shall not

136180672.12



simply mean “if”. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Except as specifically stated herein, any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. Except as otherwise specified herein, references to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. Each of the Parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
9.12    Further Assurances. Each Party shall execute and deliver on or after the Effective Date such further agreements and other documents and take such other actions as the other Party reasonably requests in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, where applicable, to record this Agreement with any Governmental Entity.
9.13    Dispute Resolution. In the event of dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, is not resolved after good faith discussions between the Persons responsible for the administration of this Agreement, either Party may require that the dispute be referred to the CEOs of the respective Parties who shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute.     
(a)    If the CEOs cannot resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days of the matter being referred to them, either Party may refer such dispute for resolution by mediation in accordance with the then-current International Expedited Procedures of International Arbitration Rules of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, as amended from time to time, or any successor thereto (the “ICDR Rules”).
(b)    If the dispute is not settled by mediation within sixty (60) days of the appointment of the mediator, or such other period as the Parties shall agree in writing, the dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by final and binding arbitration conducted in English by one arbitrator in New York City, New York, U.S.A., in accordance with the ICDR Rules. The arbitrator shall promptly render a written decision, together with a written opinion setting forth in reasonable detail the grounds for such decision. The Parties shall bear the costs of the arbitration equally. Judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the award entered by the arbitrator.
(c)    For clarity, Teekay shall not terminate this Agreement to the extent that a dispute over the basis for such termination remains pending under this Section 9.13.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may seek immediate injunctive relief or other interim relief from any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
