-4-

Agreement are solely those of a licensee, which rights terminate (except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement) upon termination of this Agreement. (b) Licensor agrees that if Licensor receives notice of any pending or written claims, proceedings, hearings or demands alleging that the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx or the Licensed Trade Name infringes or otherwise violates a third party’s proprietary right, or challenging the legality, validity, enforceability or ownership of any of the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx or the Licensed Trade Name, Licensor will notify Licensee in writing promptly following receipt of notice of such claims in order to permit Licensee and its Subsidiaries, at their option, to cease using the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx and the Licensed Trade Name in accordance with this Agreement and/or immediately terminate their license rights under this Agreement.

If Licensor decides to enforce its rights in the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx and/or the Licensed Trade Name against a potential infringement, all recoveries made shall be for the account of Licensor. (e) It is understood that Licensee may contest and defend any claims, proceedings, hearings or demands made against Licensee or any of its Subsidiaries by a third party challenging its use of the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx or the Licensed Trade Name but only to the extent that such claim, proceeding, hearing or demand seeks a monetary recovery from Licensee or any of its Subsidiaries. 8. Compliance, Etc. (a) Licensee and its Subsidiaries agree to comply with any reasonable trademark and trade name usage guidelines provided by Licensor to Licensee, as may be established from time to time by Licensor, with respect to the appearance and manner of use of the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx and Licensed Trade Name. Each time Licensee or its Subsidiaries intend to use any form of the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx or the Licensed Trade Name not permitted by such usage guidelines, Licensee or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall submit such form to Licensor for its prior written approval, notwithstanding any previous use by Licensee or its Subsidiaries of such form of the Licensed Trademark, the

-5-

Stylized Xxxx or Licensed Trade Name. Unless Licensor objects or denies approval for such use within thirty (30) Business Days of actual receipt of notice of such use by Licensee (which notice shall reference this section), such use shall be deemed approved by Licensor; provided that the Licensor can by written notice to Licensee (specifying reasonable grounds for such notice) later object to any subsequent use of the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx or the Licensed Trade Name in such a manner and Licensee or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall cease such use of the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx or the Licensed Trade Name as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such notice. Representative specimens showing the use of the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx and/or the Licensed Trade Name by Licensee and its Subsidiaries shall be sent to Licensor from time to time upon its reasonable request. (b) Licensee and its Subsidiaries acknowledge that the rights of Licensor in the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx and the Licensed Trade Name are paramount to any right hereby granted to Licensee and its Subsidiaries, and Licensee and its Subsidiaries agree that they will comply in all material respects with all trademark laws and regulations of all countries where the Licensee Business Products are marketed or sold or the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx or the Licensed Trade Name is used by Licensee and its Subsidiaries. Should Licensee’s and its Subsidiaries’ compliance with the laws or regulations of any country result in the potential dilution or loss of trade name or trademark rights of Licensor in the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx or the Licensed Trade Name, Licensee and its Subsidiaries shall take such actions as may be reasonably required by Licensor from time to time to preserve the validity and the strength of the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx and/or the Licensed Trade Name. (c) At the reasonable request of Licensor, Licensee and its Subsidiaries agree to promptly provide to Licensor a list of countries in which Licensee and its Subsidiaries intend to market or sell the Licensee Business Products during the term of this Agreement or otherwise conduct business using the Licensed Trade Name. Licensee and its Subsidiaries, at Licensor’s expense, shall cooperate in assisting Licensor with filing or registering this Agreement (or relevant portions thereof) in countries requiring the same, provided that if such filing requirement results solely from Licensee’s or its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates’ use of the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx or Licensed Trade Name, then Licensee shall be responsible for all expenses associated with complying with such filing requirement. 9. Quality Control. To protect the value of the Licensed Trademark and the Stylized Xxxx, Licensee and its Subsidiaries agree that, during the term of this Agreement and for so long as Licensee or any of its Subsidiaries is using the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx or the Licensed Trade Name, the Licensee Business Products manufactured, marketed and/or sold by Licensee and its Subsidiaries will be substantially equivalent, at a minimum, in quality to the Licensee Business Products presently being manufactured and sold by the Licensor as of the Closing Date with respect to materials, workmanship, and performance. Licensee and its Subsidiaries shall not use the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx or the Licensed Trade Name in any manner which might reasonably be expected to tarnish, disparage or reflect adversely on Licensor or any of its Affiliates or the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx or the Licensed Trade Name. Licensee and its Subsidiaries shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations in the manufacture, sale, distribution and marketing of

-6-

the Licensee Business Products, Existing Packaging, New Packaging, Existing Marketing and Promotional Material, and New Marketing and Promotional Material bearing the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx or the Licensed Trade Name, and Licensee and its Subsidiaries shall use all legends, notices, and markings as required by applicable law. Licensor reserves the right to inspect the quality of the Licensee Business Products manufactured, sold, leased, distributed or marketed by Licensee and its Subsidiaries under the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx or the Licensed Trade Name in order to ensure that the quality is as aforesaid and for the purpose of maintaining in full force and effect Licensor’s rights to and in the Licensed Trademark, the Stylized Xxxx and the Licensed Trade Name under applicable laws. From time to time, and at Licensor’s expense, Licensor may send representatives to the plants of Licensee and its Subsidiaries (or their contract manufacturers) to consult with and advise Licensee and its Subsidiaries with respect to Licensee’s and its Subsidiaries’ quality control of the Licensee Business Products; provided that Licensor shall provide Licensee with five (5) Business Days prior written notice of such visits, that such visits shall be conducted during Licensee’s normal business hours and in a manner so as not to disrupt Licensee’s business operations, and Licensor’s representatives agree to a reasonable confidentiality agreement provided by Licensee and to comply with Licensee’s (or its contract manufacturer’s) then-current security practices and procedures on each visit. In response to any reasonable request by Licensor, Licensee and its Subsidiaries shall, from time to time, at Licensor’s option, send to Licensor one or more of the following: (i) copies of Licensee’s and its Subsidiaries’ quality assurance tests, or equivalents, conducted on the Licensee Business Products, (ii) representative samples of the Licensee Business Products (free of cost and at the expense of Licensee) or (iii) a written certification that all Licensee Business Products sold by Licensee or any of its Subsidiaries during the relevant period have been at least equivalent in quality to the Licensee Business Products presently being manufactured and sold by Licensor immediately prior to the Closing with regard to material, workmanship and performance. Nothing in this agreement shall prohibit Licensor from acquiring Licensee Business Products independently or otherwise independently verifying Licensee’s or its Subsidiaries’ adherence to the quality standards set forth in this Section 9. 10. Coordination. At the request of Licensor, Licensee shall assign and identify an employee to be responsible for coordinating the communications with Licensor concerning the administrative matters involved in the performance under this Agreement. 11. Disclaimer of Warranty. LICENSOR MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE QUALITY, SUITABILITY, AVAILABILITY OR ADEQUACY OF THE LICENSED MARKS OR THE LICENSED TRADE NAME, AND LICENSOR MAKES NO EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, NO ENCUMBRANCES AND WARRANTIES ARISING THROUGH COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, AND LICENSOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. The parties and their respective counsel have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. The following provisions shall be applied wherever appropriate herein: (a) “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and other equivalent words shall refer to this Agreement as an entirety and not solely to the particular portion of this Agreement in which any such word is used; (b) all definitions set forth herein shall be deemed applicable whether the words defined are used herein in the singular or the plural; (c) wherever used herein and whenever the context requires, any pronoun or pronouns shall be deemed to include both the singular and plural and to cover all genders; (d) all accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP; (e) any references herein to a particular Section, Article, Exhibit or Schedule means a Section or Article of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless another agreement is specified; and (f) the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference and shall be considered part of this Agreement. 28. Contract Provision.

Licensee or its Subsidiaries shall not be obligated to comply with this Section 28 at such time as the corporate name of Licensee or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, does not include the Licensed Trade Name. 29. Management of Enforcement by Licensee. Licensor agrees that a majority of the Class A Directors (as defined in the Investor Agreement) shall have the sole and exclusive right to exercise and enforce any rights under this Agreement which Licensee or any of its Subsidiaries are entitled to enforce against Licensor after the Closing. In addition, any amendment to or waiver of the terms of this Agreement by Licensee in accordance with Section 20 shall require the approval of a majority of the Class A Directors.
