Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Revlon Parties shall not transfer any goodwill that the Buyer requests not be transferred, which goodwill the Revlon Parties shall later transfer upon Buyer’s request, unless, with respect to a particular transfer, such later transfer would not be Commercially Reasonable. To the extent necessary to effectuate any transfer to be made hereunder, Buyer, or, at Buyer’s option, the Designated Firm (as defined in Section 9(c)(v)) shall prepare such documentation and forms suitable for filing in national offices and shall submit copies thereof to RCPC.

(iii)        the goodwill transferred to the Company and associated with the Licensor Marks (including the “REVLON” mark) as used in connection with the Business outside the United States, unless, with respect to a particular grant, granting such a Lien would not be Commercially Reasonable (as determined at the time of such grant). For the purposes of determining whether the grant of a Lien is Commercially Reasonable, diminution of value of the “REVLON” mark or such goodwill attributable to the fact that such goodwill is subject to such Lien, shall not be taken into account.

 

20 

 

 

Such Lien shall be granted on the Closing Date in all jurisdictions set forth on Schedule II in which any such assets have been transferred to the Company and, to the extent grantor (as opposed to grantee) is required by local law to make such filing, at the request of Buyer, to RCPC, filed with the appropriate national office within thirty (30) days thereof. For any Licensed Mark or goodwill transferred to the Company on which such Lien is not granted as of the Closing Date, such Lien shall be granted and, at the request of Buyer, filed by the Company to the extent grantor (as opposed to grantee) is required by local law to make such filing with the appropriate national office, simultaneously with the transfer of such Licensed Mark or goodwill to the Company. The documentation to file such Lien shall be consistent with the RPHC Security Agreement as applicable to a given jurisdiction and shall be prepared by Buyer, and/or at Buyer’s option, by the Designated Firm and submitted to RCPC and Buyer prior to filing. In the event that a Revlon Party believes granting any such Lien on such later transferred Licensed Mark or later transferred goodwill not to be Commercially Reasonable, it shall so notify Buyer in writing, together with the reasons therefor, within fifteen (15) days of the initial notice from Buyer. If a Revlon Party has not responded within such fifteen (15) day period, Buyer shall notify RCPC that it has failed to respond and RCPC or another Revlon Party shall thereupon promptly do so providing reasons if a Revlon Party believes granting such Lien would not be Commercially Reasonable. If RCPC or another Revlon Party has not responded within ten (10) additional days after Buyer’s notice, or if Buyer disagrees with the reasons provided according to the Commercially Reasonable standard, then Buyer shall have the right to seek an immediate injunction or declaratory judgment ordering the grant of such Lien in any court of competent jurisdiction or, at Buyer’s option, from the Arbitral Tribunal in accordance with Section 20. The Revlon Parties and the Company shall from time to time, promptly execute, deliver, file and record all further instruments, endorsements and other documents, and take all such further action necessary to grant and perfect such Liens, in accordance with the Security Agreement.

 

(b)         Buyer (or its designee) shall have a first priority Lien (or analogous right under local law) to the extent legally obtainable from a Revlon Party in:

 

(i)          the Licensed Marks that have been retained by the Revlon Parties and all goodwill associated therewith and any Licensed Marks and/or associated goodwill distributed to a Revlon Party pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii)(1) hereof; and

 

(ii)         for jurisdictions outside the United States, any goodwill that could have been transferred directly in connection with a sale of the Licensed Marks, but has been retained by a Revlon Party and is associated with the Licensor Marks (including the “REVLON” mark) as heretofore used in connection with the Business, unless, with respect to a particular grant, granting such Lien would not be Commercially Reasonable (as determined at the time of such grant); provided, that the grant of such Lien will not give Buyer any Lien on the goodwill associated with Revlon Parties’ businesses other than the Business.

 

21 

 

 

Such Lien shall be granted on the Closing Date in all jurisdictions set forth on Schedule II in which any such assets have not been transferred to the Company and, at the request of Buyer to RCPC, filed by the appropriate Revlon Party with the appropriate national office within thirty (30) days thereof to the extent grantor (as opposed to grantee) is required by local law to make such filing. Such Lien shall be granted in all jurisdictions in which any such assets have not been transferred to the Company (or have been distributed to a Revlon Party) and, to the extent grantor (as opposed to grantee) is required by local law to make such filing, filed by a Revlon Party with the appropriate national office, within the later of thirty (30) days of Buyer’s written request or fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the time period for the Revlon Parties’ response set forth below. The documentation to file such Lien shall be consistent with the Revlon Parties Security Agreement as applicable to a given jurisdiction and shall be prepared by Buyer, and/or at Buyer’s option, by the Designated Firm and submitted to RCPC and Buyer prior to filing. In the event that a Revlon Party believes granting any such Lien to be granted pursuant to clause (b)(ii) above not to be Commercially Reasonable, it shall so notify Buyer in writing, together with the reasons therefor, within fifteen (15) days of the initial notice from Buyer; provided, however, that to the extent the Buyer has not previously requested that such marks or goodwill be transferred to the Company pursuant to Section 8(a) the following response periods shall apply: (A) if the Revlon Parties have at a particular time more than five (5) but less than ten (10) countries under consideration due to Buyer’s request, the time period for each response shall be increased to thirty (30) days from the initial notice from Buyer; (B) if the Revlon Parties have at a particular time more than ten (10) but less than (15) countries under consideration due to Buyer’s request, the time period for each response shall be increased to forty-five (45) days from the initial notice from Buyer; (C) if the Revlon Parties have at a particular time more than fifteen (15) countries under consideration due to Buyer’s request, the time period for each response shall be increased to sixty (60) days from the initial notice from Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Revlon Parties shall respond to all such requests as soon as is reasonably practicable and shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of the status of such requests. If a Revlon Party has not responded within such period, Buyer shall notify RCPC that it has failed to respond and RCPC or another Revlon Party shall thereupon promptly do so providing reasons if a Revlon Party believes granting such Lien would not be Commercially Reasonable. If RCPC or another Revlon Party has not responded within ten (10) additional days after Buyer’s notice, or if Buyer disagrees with the reasons provided according jo the Commercially Reasonable standard, then Buyer shall have the right to seek an immediate injunction or declaratory judgment ordering the grant of such Lien in any court of competent jurisdiction or, at Buyer’s option, from the Arbitral Tribunal in accordance with Section 20. For the purposes of determining whether the grant of a Lien under clause (b)(ii) above is Commercially Reasonable, diminution of value of the “REVLON” mark or such goodwill which diminution is solely attributable to the fact that such goodwill is now subject to such Lien shall not be taken into account. The Revlon Parties and the Company shall from time to time, promptly execute, deliver, file and record all further instruments, endorsements and other documents, and take all such further action necessary to grant and perfect such Liens, in accordance with the Security Agreement.

 

(c)          The only “event of default” under any of the foregoing Liens is a “Bankruptcy Rejection” (as defined in the RPHC Security Agreement) of any License Agreement (Revlon Marks) or any material portion thereof by a trustee in Bankruptcy (or analogous entity in a Bankruptcy or analogous proceeding), the Revlon Parties or their Affiliates, or by the Company or the permitted transferee of any of their interest in such License Agreement (Revlon Marks).

(b)          the Buyer may transfer its interest in the Company to any Affiliate of Buyer, any permitted transferee of the License Agreement (Revlon Marks) or an Affiliate thereof, any purchaser of a substantial part of Buyer’s business to which the Licensed Marks relate (whether by way of sale of assets, merger or otherwise) or pursuant to a pledge as collateral security; and

 

(c)          the Revlon Parties shall not assign their respective rights in the Licensed Marks to any Person, whether Affiliated or not Affiliated with the Company, that is incorporated in a different jurisdiction than the current Revlon Parties, or separately from the License Agreements (Revlon Marks) to which they are parties.

 

Any purported transfer in violation of this Section 13 shall be null and void and shall not be recognized by the Company. No Member may withdraw from the Company without the prior unanimous approval of the Board of Managers. The transferee of any interest in the Company pursuant to a transfer permitted by this Section 13 shall be referred to herein as a “Permitted Transferee”.

Third, Other Distributable Assets shall be distributed (a) 60% to the Members pro rata in proportion to their ownership of all issued and outstanding Class A Units and (b) 40% to Members pro rata in proportion to their ownership of all issued and outstanding Class B Units.

 

 24

 

 

(ii)          Distributions upon Dissolution. Upon dissolution of the Company as set forth in this Agreement:

 

(A)The affairs of the Company shall be wound up and the Company liquidated by the Board of Managers, including the preparation and filing by the Board of Managers of all documents or instruments necessary to effect the Company’s dissolution and liquidation. All items of income, gain and loss (including any gain or loss from liquidation of the Company) for the Fiscal Year in which the Company is finally liquidated shall be allocated among the Members as provided in Section 16 hereof.

 

(B)The net proceeds of liquidation shall be distributed in the following order:

 

(1)to creditors of the Company (other than Members);

 

(2)to creditors of the Company who are Members;

 

(3)to the Members, in accordance with their Capital Account balances after taking into account all allocations and distributions for the Fiscal Year.

 

(iii)         Notwithstanding Section 15(c)(i) above, the Company may, upon the determination of the Tax Matters Partner, make a distribution of cash constituting Other Distributable Assets to the holders of Class A Units and Class B Units, in proportion to, and to the extent of, their respective liabilities for U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to allocations of Company Profits to such Members. For purposes of this Section 15(c)(iii), a Member’s tax liability with respect to allocations of Company Profits shall be determined by (A) reducing allocations of income from the Company to such Member by previous allocations of loss from the Company, to the extent not previously taken into account hereunder and (B) using the marginal tax rate that actually applies to such Member, taking into account the deductibility of state and local taxes, and taking into account any available foreign tax credits available as a result of an allocation of income from the Company. If any distributions in respect of taxes are made to the Members pursuant to this Section 15(c)(iii), then subsequent distributions shall be made to the Members in such a way that, to the extent possible, cumulative distributions to each Member shall equal the cumulative distributions such Member would have received under this Section 15 in the absence of this Section 15(c)(iii).

 

(iv)         Notwithstanding Section 15(c)(i), the Company may, upon the determination of the Board of Managers make a distribution to the Class A Members and Class B Members of cash constituting Other Distributable Assets received in connection with the resolution of any dispute between the Company and Licensee under the Company License Agreement, subject to any applicable reserves for the payment of expenses or other liabilities.

 

 25

 

 

(d)          Withholding Taxes. The Company is authorized to withhold from distributions to the Members, or with respect to allocations to the Members, and to pay over to a Federal, state, local or non-U.S. government, any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to the Code, or any provisions of any other Federal, state, local or non-U.S. law. Any amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been distributed to the Members pursuant to this Section 15 for all purposes of this Agreement, and shall be offset against the current or next amounts otherwise distributable to the Members.

 

(e)          “Profits and Losses” means, for each Fiscal Year, an amount equal to the Company’s taxable income or loss for such Fiscal Year (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(l) shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments:

 

(i)           any income of the Company that is exempt from federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Losses pursuant to this Section 16(e) shall be added to such taxable income or loss;

 

(ii)          any expenditures of the Company described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) or treated as Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l (b)(2)(iv)(i), and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits and Losses pursuant to this Section 16(e) shall be subtracted from such taxable income or loss;

 

(iii)         in the event the gross asset value of an asset of the Company is adjusted, the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset for purposes of computing Profits and Losses;

 

(iv)         gain or loss resulting from any disposition of property with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the gross asset value of the property disposed of, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of the property differs from its gross asset value;

 

(v)          in lieu of the depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be taken into account depreciation for such Fiscal Year based upon the gross asset value of the property;

 

(vi)         to the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required pursuant to Treasury Regulation 1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a distribution other than in complete liquidation of a Member’s interest in the Company, such adjustment shall be treated as an item of gain or loss from the disposition of the asset and shall be taken into account for purposes of computing Profits and Losses; and

 

 26

 

 

(vii)        notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any items which are specially allocated pursuant to this Agreement shall not be taken into account in computing Profits and Losses.

 

16.          Dissolution; Bankruptcy.

 

(a)          Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may take the following actions only with approval of the Members and unanimous approvals of all members of the Board of Managers provided, however, that the Board of Managers may not vote on, or authorize the taking of, any of the following actions, unless there is each of an Independent Manager and an Independent Officer then serving in such capacity:

 

(i)           make an assignment for the benefit of creditors;

 

(ii)          file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy;

 

(iii)         file a petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation of any jurisdiction;

 

(iv)         fail to file an answer with respect to a petition filed against the Company in any proceeding of the type described in subclauses (i) through (iii) of this Subsection (a);

 

(v)          file an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against the Company in any proceeding of the type described in subclauses (i) through (iii) of this Subsection (a);

 

(vi)         seek, consent to, or acquiesce in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company or of all or any substantial part of the Company’s properties; or

 

(vii)        voluntarily dissolve and wind up, or consolidate or merge with or into another entity or sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than to Buyer (or its designee).

 

(b)          The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up only upon (i) the written consent of all the Members and all members of the Board of Managers, including the Independent Manager or (ii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall not be dissolved if Buyer, its Affiliates, or its or their designee holds any Units of the Company.

 

 27

 

 

(c)          In the event of the insolvency of the Company and with regard to any action contemplated by subsection (a) above, the Independent Manager will not owe a fiduciary duty to any Person who holds a Unit or Units, as the case may be (except as may be required by applicable law), but any fiduciary duty of such Independent Manager with regard to such action shall be owed instead to the licensees of the Company. The Independent Manager shall not serve as a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company, any Affiliate of the Company, or a substantial part of their respective property.

 

17.          Limitation on Liability. The debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Member or Manager of the Company shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member or Manager.

 

18.          Indemnification of Managers, Officers, Employees and Agents.

 

(a)          Each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Manager or an officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (hereinafter an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such a Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Manager, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a Manager, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware Act (including indemnification for negligence and breach of fiduciary duty to the extent so authorized), as the Delaware Act currently exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes, or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith.

 

(b)          The rights to indemnification conferred in this Section 18 shall not be exclusive of any other right that any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, vote of the Managers or otherwise. The rights to indemnification conferred in this Section 18 shall not be available in respect of any matter with respect to which such Indemnitee has been found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct whether with respect to the contravention of this Agreement or otherwise.

 

19.          Indemnification and Reimbursements for Payments on Behalf of a Member.

 

(a)          If the Company is obligated to pay any amount to a Governmental Entity or, as directed by a court of competent jurisdiction or a Governmental Entity, to any other Person because of a Member’s status or otherwise specifically attributable to a Member (including federal withholding taxes with respect to Non-U.S. Members, state personal property taxes, state unincorporated business taxes, etc.), then the Company may withhold such amounts from distributions to the Member. If, however, the Company is unable to withhold all or part of such amounts from distributions to the Member, then such Member (the “Indemnifying Member”) shall indemnify the Company in full for the entire amount paid (including any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payment). At the option of the Board of Managers, either:

 

 28

 

 

(i)           promptly upon notification of an obligation to indemnify the Company, the Indemnifying Member shall make a cash payment to the Company equal to the full amount to be indemnified; or

 

(ii)          the Company shall reduce subsequent distributions which would otherwise be made to the Indemnifying Member until the Company has recovered the amount to be indemnified.

 

(b)          The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Member under this Section 19, including instituting a lawsuit to collect such contribution with interest calculated at a rate equal to the interest rate charged by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service on large corporate tax underpayments plus six percentage points per annum (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by law).

 

20.          Dispute Resolution.

 

(a)          Except as set forth in Section 20 (i), any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement (including any exhibit hereto) or the breach, termination or validity of this Agreement (“Dispute”), shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (“LCIA”) then in effect (the “Rules”), except as modified herein. The arbitration shall be held in London. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted, and the award shall be rendered, in the English language.

 

(b)          There shall be three (3) neutral arbitrators (the “Arbitral Tribunal”) of whom the claimant and the respondent shall each designate one. The claimant shall name its arbitrator in its notice of arbitration. The respondent shall name its arbitrator in its statement of defense. The third arbitrator shall be appointed by the LCIA in accordance with the following procedure: Within 10 days of the service of the Response, the LCIA shall send simultaneously to each party an identical list of at least ten (10) arbitrator candidates, and each party shall be permitted to strike two names from the list, rank the remaining arbitrators in order of preference and return the list to the LCIA within 15 days of the transmittal date. If a party does not return the list within the time specified, all persons named therein shall be considered acceptable. From among the persons who remain on both lists and in accordance with the combined designated order of mutual preference, the LCIA shall invite the acceptance of three arbitrators to serve. The “highest ranking” arbitrator based on the combined mutual preferences who accepts the appointment and meets the nationality requirement below shall be the presiding arbitrator. There shall be no restriction on the nationality of any arbitrator, except that the presiding arbitrator shall not be a national of the country of any of the parties, and shall be fluent in the English language. If any arbitrator is not appointed within the time limits set forth herein, then such arbitrator(s) shall be appointed by the LCIA in accordance with the Rules. In rendering an award, the Arbitral Tribunal shall be required to follow and apply the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

 29

 

 

(c)          The Claimant shall submit its statement of the case with its request. The Respondent shall submit its statement of defense along with its response. The hearing shall be held no later than four months after the appointment of the third arbitrator, unless such time is extended by the Arbitral Tribunal for good cause shown. The award of the Arbitral Tribunal shall be rendered within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing.

 

(d)          The Arbitral Tribunal’s award shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the Arbitral Tribunal. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, by agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings, or of its ability to enforce any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a national court, the Arbitral Tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies or modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by a national court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect. The Arbitral Tribunal shall have no power to order termination as a remedy for breach hereunder.

 

(f)          Fees and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the prevailing party in any arbitration under this Section shall be paid by the non-prevailing party. In addition, if, following the grant of provisional relief by a court on behalf of a party, the other party seeks a determination of rights from an Arbitral Tribunal in accordance with this Section, and the Arbitral Tribunal determines that such provisional relief was granted in error, then, in addition to the reimbursement of the fees and costs of the prevailing party in the arbitration associated with such arbitration, the party that obtained the injunction shall reimburse the party that prevails in the arbitration for the fees and costs of prosecuting or defending the court proceeding. Likewise, if the Arbitral Tribunal affirms the court’s decision, then in addition to the reimbursement of the prevailing party’s fees and costs associated with the arbitration, the prevailing party shall also be reimbursed for the fees and costs of prosecuting the court action.

 

(g)          The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the authority to award penalties for “frivolous” suits.

 

(h)          Except as specifically provided in Section 20(f) and 20(g), the Arbitra1 Tribunal shall not award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any Dispute.

 

(i)           In the event of a Dispute as to whether an action is Commercially Reasonable, such dispute shall, at the option of Buyer, be determined by the Arbitral Tribunal, any state or Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware or, with respect to a Dispute regarding the transfer, grant of a Lien in or application for a given item of intellectual property, a court in the jurisdiction in which such intellectual property is located. The party claiming that an action is not Commercially Reasonable shall bear the burden of proof.

 

 30

 

 

(j)           EXCEPT FOR MATTERS AS TO WHICH ARBITRATION HAS BEEN SPECIFIED BY THE PARTIES PURSUANT TO SECTION 20(a) ABOVE, EACH OF THE MEMBERS AND REVLON HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE (AND, WITH RESPECT TO DISPUTES ADDRESSED IN SUBSECTION (i) ABOVE, IN ANY COURT SELECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH SUBSECTION (i)) IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH OF THE MEMBERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

 

(k)          Each Member shall have the right to enforce any term or condition contained herein by any party and to proceed against any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by any party.

 

21.          Books and Records.

 

(a)          The Managers shall cause to be maintained complete and accurate books of account of the Company’s affairs at the Company’s principal office, which shall be separate from any Members’ books and which books shall be open to inspection by any Member (or such Member’s authorized representative) upon reasonable notice at any time during ordinary business hours. Such books shall be maintained on the accrual method of accounting. The Company’s fiscal year shall end on December 31 of each year.

 

(b)          The Managers shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered, within seventy-five (75) days after the end of each Fiscal Year, to each Person who was a holder of Units at any time during such Fiscal Year the Company’s tax return and form K-1 for such Fiscal Year, and such other information as may be necessary for the preparation of each such Person’s United States federal and state income tax returns.

 

22.          Expenses. The Revlon Parties and Buyer shall contribute cash in proportion to their share of the Class C Units as necessary to fund (i) the creation of the Company, (ii) the transfer of assets, including the Licensed Marks into the Company, (iii) the creation and perfection of any Liens related to such trademarks and such goodwill, and (iv) the ongoing operation of the Company, except that (a) costs and expenses to be borne by, and payments to be made or received by the Licensor under the Company License Agreements shall be made solely by, borne solely by, or distributed solely to the Revlon Parties; (b) costs and expenses of registration of the Licensed Marks shall borne as provided in Section 9(c) of this Agreement and Section VIII.G of the Company License Agreements; and (c) amounts payable by the Company under Section 10(b)(iii) of this Agreement and any damages for breach by the Company of any Company License Agreement or Company Security Agreement shall be borne solely by the Revlon Parties.

 

 31

 

 

23.          Headings; Interpretation. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The Exhibits and Schedules identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. The word “including” shall mean including without limitation.

 

24.          Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only upon the unanimous written consent of the Members and the Board of Managers.

 

25.          Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

 

26.          Notices. All notices, requests, demands, waivers, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be delivered in writing by any of the following methods: (a) personal delivery; (b) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; or (c) overnight delivery service, provided that, in each case a copy shall also be sent via facsimile transmission.

Disclosures Regarding Contributed Intellectual Property

 

I          The Brazilian company, Industria e Comercio de Cosmeticos Natura Ltda. (“Natura”), owns trademark applications and/or registrations for the trademark INTERATIVES in Bolivia, Brazil, Peru, Mexico and Chile which in certain cases predate registration applications by Sellers or Acquired Companies for the trademark INTERACTIVES. Grantor is aware of such applications and/or registrations by Natura in these above-named countries because Sellers researched the trademark INTERACTIVES to clear such mark. Natura may also own the mark in other jurisdictions where such a search was not performed.

 

II         In 1967 Revlon, Inc. and Proctor & Gamble (P&G) entered into an agreement to avoid conflicts between the parties with respect to P&G’s WONDRA mark and Revlon’s several marks which included the element “WONDER” including “NATURAL WONDER” for countries which were members of the Madrid Arrangement in 1967. Under the Agreement, Revlon agreed not to use NATURAL WONDER without REVLON being a component part of the mark or to stress or emphasize the “WONDER” element of the mark for class3 goods. Revlon also agreed not to use or register REVLON NATURAL WONDER or any other trademark containing the word “WONDER” for “hair agents, especially not for shampoo.”

 

III       Affiliates of Grantor entered into an agreement (undated and unsigned) with the predecessor of Wella (“4711 “) in which they agreed to always use the element WONDER in the same shape and size as NATURAL in its REVLON NATURAL WONDER trademark in Germany to avoid confusion with 4711’s MIRAKEL mark.

 

IV       On November 6, 1998 Revlon Germany received notice that the Dusseldorf Food Controlling Office is investigating the issue of whether the “Natural Honey” trademark is misleading as to the amount of honey in the product. Revlon Germany responded in May 1999 and has not received a response from the authorities.

 

V         See attached “Conflict/Opposition Report” for adversarial actions pending against the Licensed Marks or opposing the registration by a third party of a confusingly similar mark.
