The Licensee shall not submit requests for changes of the Kraft GroceryCo Trademark or the “Back to Nature” SnackCo Xxxx. (ii) All usages of the Kraft GroceryCo Trademark shall comply with the usage guidelines therefor attached as Schedule I as such usage guidelines are hereafter amended by GroceryCo IPCo in its discretion upon reasonable advance written notice to SnackCo IPCo and all usages of the “Back to Nature” SnackCo Xxxx shall comply with the Trademark usage guidelines therefor attached as Schedule J as such usage guidelines are hereafter amended by SnackCo IPCo in its discretion upon reasonable advance written notice to GroceryCo IPCo; provided that such amended usage guidelines are generally applicable to the Licensor and its Affiliates and their other licensees and do not conflict with the express provisions of this Agreement. Except for Licensed Trademarks that a Licensee uses under a perpetual license, wherever the Licensee’s name or logo appears on the packaging (and, where reasonably practicable on promotional or advertising materials), a legend substantially in the form of the following legend as reference to the Trademark license shall be made following any assignment of any license granted hereunder pursuant to Section 3.7 or within a reasonable time after the Licensor may request the Licensee to do so: “………” (insert the Licensed Trademark) is used under license from the registered trademark owner, “………….” (insert trademark owner, city, state and country) (iii) In the event that the Licensor of a Licensed Trademark that is licensed to a Licensee hereunder intends to redesign, modify or otherwise alter the design of a Licensed Trademark, the Licensor shall reasonably promptly inform the Licensee in writing of the design change intended for the Licensed Trademark and whether the redesigned, modified or altered design has been or will be registered as a trademark in the jurisdiction(s) of the Licensee.
