Common use of Enforcement of Agreements Clause in Contracts

Enforcement of Agreements. Keysight shall take all reasonably appropriate measures at Keysight’s expense to promptly and diligently enforce the terms of any sublicense agreement or other agreement with any sublicensee or Authorized Dealer and shall restrain any such sublicensee or Authorized Dealer from violating such terms, including without limitation: (a) monitoring the sublicensees’ and Authorized Dealers’ compliance with the relevant Quality Standards and Trademark Usage Guidelines and causing any non-complying sublicensee or Authorized Dealer promptly to remedy any failure; (b) if need be, terminating such agreement; and/or (c) if need be, commencing legal action, in each case using a standard of care consistent with Agilent’s practices as of one day prior to the Effective Date, but in no case using a standard of care less than what is reasonable in the industry. In the event that Agilent determines that Keysight has failed to promptly and diligently enforce the terms of any such agreement using such standard of care, Agilent reserves the right to enforce such terms, only after providing Keysight with written notice and time to cure such failure to enforce consistent with the procedures set forth in Articles VI and VIII. If Keysight fails to cause sublicensees to cure any defects, and Agilent elects to enforce its rights in accordance with this paragraph, Keysight shall reimburse Agilent for its reasonable litigation costs, attorneys’ fees, and expenses incurred in enforcing the agreement, including out-of-pocket costs, attorneys’ fees, and expenses incurred from litigation.
