or provided by Vishay, or any number and/or letter sequence likely to cause
confusion with any Part Number used by Vishay. If VPG proposes to use any Part
Number that is not on Schedule C, prior to such use, VPG shall notify Vishay
in advance in writing. If Vishay does not object in writing within ten (10)
business days after receipt of such notice, Vishay shall be deemed to have

Standards. All VPG Products and Services designed,

reasonable intervals and upon payment to VPG of its reasonable charges,
representative samples of VPG Products and copies of all marketing materials for
VPG Products and Services designed, developed, manufactured, marketed, provided
or performed under the Licensed Marks (“Promotional Materials”). If, in the commercially reasonable
judgment of Vishay, any VPG Products and Services or Promotional Materials do
not conform to the Standards or are not otherwise in accord with this Agreement,
Vishay shall so notify VPG, and the parties shall work together in good faith in
order that VPG will remedy such non-conformity or non-compliance. Any dispute
under this Section shall be resolved in accordance with the resolution

ADDITIONAL MARKS; REGISTRATION OF MARKS;
ENFORCEMENT
Section 1.10
Additional Licensed Marks. If VPG proposes to use any xxxx containing
VISHAY that is not on Schedule A, prior to such use, VPG shall notify Vishay in
advance in writing, unless the word PRECISION immediately follows the name
VISHAY in such xxxx (with the word PRECISION having no less prominence in such
xxxx than the name VISHAY) and such xxxx does not include the word
INTERTECHNOLOGY. If Vishay does not object in writing within thirty (30)
business days after receipt of such notice, Vishay shall be deemed to have
approved the use of such xxxx, such xxxx shall be deemed to be a Licensed Xxxx
and such xxxx shall be added to Schedule A. If Vishay shall timely object to the use of
any such xxxx by VPG, the parties shall resolve their dispute with respect to
such objection in accordance with the resolution procedures referred to in
Section 5.16. During the Term, VPG shall be permitted to
use any xxxx in which the name VISHAY is immediately followed by the word
PRECISION (so long as the word PRECISION has no less prominence in such xxxx
than the name VISHAY and such xxxx does not contain the word INTERTECHNOLOGY),
without the need to seek consent to such use by Vishay, and upon notification by
VPG to Vishay of any such use, such xxxx shall be added to Schedule A.
Section 1.11
Registration of Licensed
Marks. At VPG’s reasonable
request and expense, Vishay shall: (i) take all reasonably necessary steps to
procure registration of any of the Licensed Marks for the VPG Products and
Services; and (ii) maintain any and all such registrations in full force and effect during the Term so long as such
Licensed Xxxx is being used by VPG, and VPG shall, at its sole expense,
cooperate with Vishay in connection with the forgoing. VPG shall not seek to
register any of the Licensed Marks or any similar marks, unless authorized by
Vishay in writing, and such registration shall be held by VPG on behalf of
Vishay.
3
Section 1.12
Domain Names. Vishay hereby licenses to, and approves of
the use by VPG of the internet domain names containing the VISHAY name listed on
Schedule D (“Licensed Domain Names”). VPG agrees that, in securing the
registration of such domain names, it has acted as agent of Vishay. If VPG
proposes to secure the registration of any additional domain name containing the
name VISHAY, it shall notify Vishay in advance in writing, unless the word
PRECISION immediately follows the name VISHAY in such domain name and such
domain name does not include the word INTERTECHNOLOGY. If Vishay does not object
in writing within thirty (30) business days after receipt of such notice, Vishay
shall be deemed to have approved VPG’s registration of such domain name, such
domain name shall be deemed to be a Licensed Domain Name and such domain name
shall be added to Schedule C. If Vishay shall timely object to the
registration of any such domain name by VPG, the parties shall resolve their
dispute with respect to such objection in accordance with the resolution
procedures referred to in Section 5.16. Without the written consent of Vishay, under
no circumstances shall VPG transfer or assign the registration of any Licensed
Domain Name to any person other than a wholly-owned subsidiary or any other
person to whom VPG is permitted to assign, sublicense or otherwise transfer its
rights under this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.5.
Section 1.13
Display of Marks. The parties agree that it is in their mutual
best interest that, and shall cooperate so that, the Licensed Marks shall appear
distinctive from marks utilized by Vishay. Any dispute with respect to the
appearance of a Licensed Xxxx or a Vishay xxxx shall be resolved in accordance
with the resolution procedures referred to in Section 5.16.
Section 1.14
Legal Notices. VPG shall, to the extent commercially
practicable, place appropriate notices (e.g. ® or ™) to designate the Licensed
Marks as trademarks or service marks.
Section 1.15
Use of Vishay Precision. Without limiting any other provision of this
Agreement, except as set forth on Schedule A or as otherwise permitted in accordance with
Section 3.1, VPG shall not use the name VISHAY in
connection with any aspect of its business, operations or affairs, whether
conducted directly or indirectly, and whether or not such usage would require
permission of Vishay as the owner of the VISHAY xxxx under this Agreement or
applicable law, unless the name VISHAY is immediately followed by the word
PRECISION. Without limitation, the foregoing shall apply to the legal name or
fictitious name ("d/b/a") of any subsidiary of VPG or any other entity under the
control of VPG.
Section 1.16
Enforcement. (a) VPG shall, at its own reasonable
expense, cooperate fully and promptly with Vishay in the protection of Vishay’s
rights in the Licensed Marks, in such manner and to such extent as Vishay may
reasonably request.
Each party shall promptly advise the other
party in writing of any actual or potential infringement, or any other
unauthorized use of or violation of any of the Licensed Marks of which it
becomes aware (each an “Infringement”). Vishay may take such action as it, in
its sole discretion, deems necessary or
advisable to stop any Infringement. VPG may request in writing that Vishay
institute an action to stop an Infringement. If Vishay receives such a written
request and does not institute such action within thirty (30) days, VPG shall be
entitled to institute such action as it deems necessary or advisable to stop the
Infringement, in which Vishay shall be entitled to join. The party not taking
the lead in any action shall cooperate fully with the other party at the other
party’s reasonable request and expense.
4
Any monetary recovery or sums obtained in
settlement of any action to stop an Infringement shall be allocated between
Vishay and VPG as shall be fair and equitable, taking into account their actual
out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the
damages sustained by each of them. Any dispute with respect to the allocation of
recoveries shall be resolved in accordance with the resolution procedures
referred to in Section 5.16 .
TERMINATION
Section 1.17
Termination by Vishay. (a) This Agreement may be terminated by
Vishay if:
VPG shall (x) willfully, intentionally and in
bad faith breach any material provision of this Agreement or (y) willfully,
intentionally and in bad faith fail to cure any other breach, (A) if under
clause (x), such breach is not capable of cure; or (B) if under either clause
(x) or (y), such breach is capable of cure, Vishay has given written notice of
such breach to VPG, and such breach has not been cured, or VPG has not commenced
taking (and is not continuing to take) reasonable bona fide steps to cure such
breach, within sixty (60) days of such notice; or
subject to and except as otherwise provided in
Section 5.5, VPG shall, without the written consent of

responsibilities or obligations under this Agreement in violation of this
Agreement; or

VPG shall abandon the use of the Licensed Marks; or
(iv) VPG shall file a petition under Chapter 7
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or a petition under Chapter 7 of the U.S.

To effect the termination of this Agreement,
Vishay shall deliver to VPG a written notice of termination, which notice shall
specify the basis therefor in reasonable detail and an effective date of
termination not less than ninety (90) days after the date of delivery to VPG of
the notice. If VPG disputes the right of Vishay to terminate this Agreement
under any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 4.1(a) and invokes the dispute resolution procedures
referenced in Section 5.16 no later than fifteen (15) days after VPG has
received notice of termination from Vishay, and within such fifteen (15) day
period provides notice thereof to Vishay in writing, then if and only so long as
VPG is in compliance with the procedures referenced in Section 5.16, termination shall not be deemed effective
until (i) it shall be determined in accordance with the procedures referenced in Section 5.16 that Vishay is entitled to terminate this
Agreement or (ii) the parties shall otherwise agree.
5
If VPG in good faith disputes that Vishay has
a valid basis for termination, the parties shall resolve such dispute in
accordance with the resolution procedures referred to in Section 5.16.
Nothing in this Section shall relieve VPG of
liability for breach of this Agreement, whether or not Vishay is entitled to
terminate this Agreement on account of such breach.
Section 1.18
Termination of Rights. Upon the termination of this Agreement, all
rights of VPG granted hereunder shall terminate, and any registration of the
foregoing by VPG shall, at Vishay’s discretion, be abandoned or transferred to

its then existing inventory of VPG Products and/or Promotional Materials bearing
the Licensed Marks for a period of up to one (1) year from the date of
termination of this Agreement. All costs associated with the foregoing shall be
borne by VPG.

provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, Vishay and VPG agree to execute or
cause to be executed and to record or cause to be recorded such other
agreements, instruments and other documents, and to take such other action, as
reasonably necessary or desirable to fully effectuate the intents and purposes
of this Agreement.
Section 1.22
Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement shall not be construed to
place the parties in the relationship of legal representatives, partners, joint
venturers or agents of or with each other. No party shall have any power to
obligate or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever, except as
specifically provided herein.
Section 1.23
Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the indemnification rights under
this Agreement of any Indemnified Parties (as hereafter defined), the provisions
of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns, and are not intended to confer upon
any person, except the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns, any rights or remedies hereunder.
Section 1.24 Assignment and Sublicense.
The license shall be assignable or
sublicenseable to any direct or indirect Majority Owned Subsidiary of VPG,
provided that VPG shall be responsible for the compliance by any such Majority
Owned Subsidiary with the terms of this Agreement. As used herein, “Majority Owned Subsidiary of VPG” means any subsidiary of VPG (x) of which
both over 50% of the voting securities and over 50% of the outstanding equity
interests, whether voting or non-voting, are owned by VPG or by one or more of
Majority-Owned Subsidiaries of VPG or by VPG and one or more of its
Majority-Owned Subsidiaries, and (y) which is engaged in the design,
development, manufacture, marketing, provision and performance of VPG Products
and Services as part of the business of VPG under the management and control of
VPG.
If VPG shall sell or transfer its business of
the design, development, manufacture, marketing, provision and performance of
VPG Products and Services substantially as an entirety, to a single purchaser or
other single transferee, whether such sale or other transfer is structured as a
sale of stock, assets or otherwise, and thereafter VPG shall cease to be engaged
in such business, the purchaser or other transferee shall succeed to the rights
and obligations of VPG under this Agreement; provided such purchaser or other
transferee shall execute documentation in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Vishay agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. For
the avoidance of doubt, the following actions shall not be deemed an assignment,
delegation or other transfer any of VPG’s rights, benefits, powers, duties responsibilities or obligations under this
Agreement: (1) assignment or transfer of the stock of VPG, including by way of a
merger, consolidation, or other form of reorganization in which outstanding
shares of VPG are exchanged for securities, or (2) any transaction effected
primarily for the purpose of (A) changing VPG’s state of incorporation or (B)
reorganizing VPG into a holding company structure such that, as a result of any
such transaction, VPG becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company
owned by the holders of VPG’s securities immediately prior to such
transaction.
7
Except as provided in this Section, the
license granted hereby shall be non-assignable and non- sublicenseable. Any
purported license or assignment in violation of this Agreement shall be
void.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.
Section 1.25
Press Releases; Public
Announcements. Neither
party shall issue any release or make any other public announcement concerning
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written
approval of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that either party shall be permitted to make
any release or public announcement that in the opinion of its counsel it is
required to make by law or the rules of any national securities exchange of
which its securities are listed; provided further that it has made efforts that are reasonable
in the circumstances to obtain the prior approval of the other party.
Section 1.26
Waiver of Defaults. Waiver by any party hereto of any default by
the other party hereto of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed
to be a waiver by the waiving party of any subsequent or other default, nor
shall it in any way affect the validity of this Agreement or prejudice the
rights of the other party thereafter to enforce each and ever such provision. No
failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege.
Section 1.27
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and
effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long
as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby, as
the case may be, is not affected in any manner adverse to any party hereto or
thereto. Upon such determination, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good
faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable provision to effect
the original intent of the parties hereto.
Section 1.28
Indemnification. Each of the parties shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the other party, each of its respective current and former
directors, officers and employees, and each of their respective heirs,
executors, successors and assigns (“Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all liabilities
relating to, arising out of or resulting from any breach of, or failure to
perform or comply with, any covenant, undertaking or obligation of, this
Agreement by the indemnifying party. In addition, VPG shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless Vishay and its other
Indemnified Parties from and against any and all liabilities relating to,
arising out of or resulting from the sale and/or provision of VPG Products and
Services under the Licensed Marks. All indemnification procedures and payments
shall be governed by Sections 5.6, 5.7 and 5.8 of the Master Separation
Agreement between the parties, dated ____, 2010 (the “Master Separation Agreement”), as applicable.
8

the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding to compel

performance or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 5.15. Each of the parties further agrees that
