• Licenses; Intellectual Property Maintain, and cause each Subsidiary of the Borrower to maintain, in full force and effect, all licenses, franchises, Intellectual Property, permits, authorizations and other rights as are necessary for the conduct of its business, the loss of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

• Use of Intellectual Property The Adviser grants to the Sub-Adviser a sublicense to use the trademarks, service marks, logos, names, or any other proprietary designations of the Adviser (“AdvisorShares Marks”) on a non-exclusive basis. The Sub-Adviser will acquire no rights in the AdvisorShares Marks, and all goodwill of the AdvisorShares Marks shall inure to and remain with the Adviser. The Sub-Adviser agrees that neither it, nor any of its affiliates, will knowingly in any way refer directly or indirectly to its relationship with the Trust, the Fund(s), the Adviser or any of their respective affiliates or use AdvisorShares Marks in offering, marketing or other promotional materials without the prior express written consent of the Adviser, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except as required by rule, regulation or upon the request of a governmental authority. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates may, without obtaining the Adviser’s prior approval, refer directly or indirectly to its relationship with the Trust, the Fund(s), the Adviser or any of their respective affiliates and use AdvisorShares Marks in offering, marketing or other promotional materials provided that such materials were previously approved by the Adviser and remain in substantially the same form.

• Intellectual Property The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company Intellectual Property shall be the sole and absolute property of the Company and its affiliates. All work performed by the Executive in authoring, composing, inventing, creating, developing or modifying Company Intellectual Property and/or other work product to which copyright protection may attach during the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company shall be considered “works made for hire” to the extent permitted under applicable copyright law and will be considered the sole property of the Company.

The Executive further acknowledges and agrees that any and all derivative works, developments, or improvements based on intellectual property, materials and assets subject to this Section 6 created during the Employment Term (including, without limitation, Company Intellectual Property) shall be exclusively owned by the Company. The Executive will cooperate with the Company and any of its affiliates, at no additional cost to such parties (whether during or after the Employment Term), in the confirmation, registration, protection and enforcement of the rights and property of the Company and its affiliates in such intellectual property, materials and assets, including, without limitation, the Company Intellectual Property.

• Intellectual Property Licenses Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the TSA, and except as otherwise provided in Section 5.13 of the SPA, it shall be the responsibility of the Receiving Party (at the Receiving Party’s sole cost and expense) to obtain all licenses associated with the use of third party intellectual property, including but not limited to copyrights (e.g., software), trademarks and patents (and/or consents and extensions relating to such licenses), if any, necessary for the provision of Services to the Receiving Party during the Term. The Service Provider agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Receiving Party in its negotiations with any licensors from whom the Receiving Party may require such a license (or consent or extension) during the Term. In the event the Receiving Party is unable to obtain a necessary license, consent or extension, the Services related to such license shall be removed from the scope of the TSA, without a reduction in fees or payments owed by the Receiving Party under the TSA. In all events, and in addition to (and not in limitation of) any similar rights that the Service Provider may have under the TSA, the Receiving Party shall indemnify, defend and hold the Service Provider harmless from and against any actions, liabilities and/or claims relating to the licenses and the license matters discussed in this provision. The Receiving Party’s obligation to pay any fees under this Section 1.5 shall apply whether or not such claims for fees arise from the Receiving Party’s continued or past access to or benefit from third party intellectual property. The Receiving Party also acknowledges the Service Provider’s right to initiate discussion with third party licensors that may involve the Receiving Party’s use of intellectual property. All negotiated agreements with third party licensors for the future use of or rights to intellectual property and associated services shall be at the cost of the Service Provider, provided that the Receiving Party shall bear the cost of incremental third party use fees which are specifically identified in the agreements with the third party licensors and which relate solely to the Receiving Party’s use (“Incremental License Fees”). Such Incremental License Fees shall be approved in advance in writing by the Receiving Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
