WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Master Separation Agreement by and between Licensor and Licensee, dated on or about the date hereof (the “Separation Agreement”), and the Ancillary Agreements, Licensor has transferred the Animal Health Business to Licensee in contemplation of the Separation and IPO;
WHEREAS, Licensor and Elanco US previously entered into that certain Trademark License Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2016 (the “Trademark License Agreement”), pursuant to which Licensor granted to Elanco US a license under certain of its Trademarks and the Parties and Elanco US now desire to wholly supersede and replace the Trademark License Agreement with the terms of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, in order to provide for an orderly transition from the Animal Health Business operating as a division of Licensor to operating as a standalone publicly-traded company, Licensor and Licensee have agreed to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which Licensor has agreed to grant to Licensee limited rights to use the “LILLY” and “XXX XXXXX AND COMPANY” Trademarks (including word, logo and design versions) on a transitional basis in accordance with the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Separation Agreement. For the purpose of this Agreement, the following capitalized terms have the following meanings:
(a) “Advertising Materials” means advertising and promotional materials in any medium, including any websites, that Licensee uses in connection with the sale and distribution of the Products.
(b) “Licensed Territory” means, with respect to each Licensed Trademark, the countries in which Licensee conducts the Animal Health Business or distributes, directly or indirectly, Products that use such Licensed Trademark in any manner.
(c) “Licensed Trademarks” means, collectively, the trademarks “LILLY” and “XXX XXXXX AND COMPANY” (including all word, logo and design versions thereof), to the extent used on or in connection with the Products or the Animal Health Business as of the Effective Date, as shown in Schedule A.
(d) “Party” means Licensor and Licensee individually, and “Parties” means the Licensor and Licensee collectively.
(e) “Product Packaging” means (i) the primary packaging in which Products are packaged (e.g., blister packs or bottles with labels), (ii) the secondary packaging in which Products are packaged (e.g., boxes containing blister packs or bottles) and (iii) any leaflets contained inside the secondary packaging.
(f) “Products” means any products sold by or through the Animal Health Business.
(g) “Regulatory Approval” means the approval, registration, license or authorization of a Governmental Authority necessary for the manufacturing, distribution, use, promotion or sale of a Product for one or more indications in a country or other regulatory jurisdiction, including approval of Biologics License Applications (as defined by applicable Law) in the United States and Marketing Authorizations in the European Union or other European countries.
(h) “Third Party” means any Person other than Licensor, Licensee, or one of their Subsidiaries.
2. License Grants.
(a) License to Use Licensed Trademarks on Product Packaging.
(i) Beginning on the Effective Date and solely for the term set forth in Section 2(a)(iii), Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable (subject to Section 11(d)), sublicensable (subject to Section 2(d)), fully paid-up, royalty-free, temporary (in accordance with Section 2(a)(iii)), limited right and license to use the Licensed Trademarks on Product Packaging for the Products, subject to the terms of this Agreement and solely in the Licensed Territory, in each case in a manner consistent with the operation of the Animal Health Business for the six (6) month period immediately prior to the Effective Date or as otherwise approved in writing by Licensor (the “Product Packaging License”).
(ii) Re-branding. The Product Packaging License is granted solely for transitional purposes, and Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cease its use of all of the Licensed Trademarks as quickly as practicable after the Effective Date, including by seeking labeling approval from a Governmental Authority to change the Product Packaging so that such Product Packaging no longer displays any Licensed Trademarks or by completing the transfer of the Regulatory Approvals and replacing the Licensed Trademarks with Licensee’s name or house xxxx.
(iii) Term. Unless terminated earlier under Section 10, the Product Packaging License will terminate, on a Product-by-Product and (to the extent applicable) country-by-country basis, after the receipt by Licensee of labeling approval from the relevant Governmental Authority for any such Product to change the Product Packaging so that such Product Packaging no longer displays any Licensed Trademarks, consistent with the timelines specified in regulations or guidance from such Governmental Authority on implementation of labeling changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall the Product Packaging License expire later than four (4) years after the Effective Date; provided, however, that upon the Parties’ mutual agreement, the term of the Product Packaging License can be extended for one (1) additional year (beyond the four (4) year period immediately following the Effective Date).
(iv) Notice Obligations of Licensee. Licensee shall provide written notice to Licensor promptly upon Licensee’s receipt of any labeling approval from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to any Product to change the Product Packaging so that such Product Packaging no longer displays any Licensed Trademarks.
(b) License to Use Licensed Trademarks in Advertising Materials. Beginning on the Effective Date and solely for the term of the Product Packaging License, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable (subject to Section 11(d)), sublicensable (subject to Section 2(d)), fully paid-up, royalty-free, temporary (in accordance with Section 2(a)(iii)), limited right and license to use the Licensed Trademarks in Advertising Materials, including advertising online and via social media outlets, in connection with the Products, subject to the terms of this Agreement and solely in the Licensed Territory, in each case in a manner consistent with the operation of the Animal Health Business for the six (6) month period immediately prior to the Effective Date or as otherwise approved in writing by Licensor.
(c) License to Use Licensed Trademarks in the Animal Health Business. Beginning on the Effective Date and solely for the term of the Product Packaging License, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable (subject to Section 11(d)), sublicensable (subject to Section 2(d)), fully paid-up, royalty-free, temporary (in accordance with Section 2(a)(iii)), limited right and license to use the Licensed Trademarks, including as a trade name, in connection with the distribution and sale of the Products and in Licensee’s business records used in connection with the day-to-day operation of the Animal Health Business (including Company Books and Records, human resource records,
bank statements, invoices and Regulatory Approval applications), subject to the terms of this Agreement and solely in the Licensed Territory, in each case in a manner consistent with the operation of the Animal Health Business for the six (6) month period immediately prior to the Effective Date or as otherwise approved in writing by Licensor.
(d) Sublicensing. Licensee may sublicense (i) rights it receives under Sections 2(a) through 2(c) to its Affiliates and (ii) rights it receives under Sections 2(a) and 2(b) to (A) distributors of Product or (B) buyers of any divested Product lines, in each case if, at the time of distribution by any such distributor or purchase by any such buyer, such Products (or Product lines) are still subject to such licenses (each such sublicense recipient in (i) or (ii), a “Sublicensee”), on the condition that each Sublicensee agrees in a written sublicense agreement to be bound by terms of use and obligations with respect to the Licensed Trademarks that are no less restrictive than those set forth in this Agreement. Licensee is liable to Licensor and, as between the Parties, to all other Persons, for the failure of any Sublicensee to comply with its sublicense agreement to the same extent that Licensee would have been liable had Licensee failed to comply with this Agreement. Any sublicenses granted under this Section 2(d) shall automatically terminate upon the termination of the relevant license to Licensee hereunder.
3. Reservation of Rights. Licensor reserves all rights in and to the Licensed Trademarks. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that as between Licensor and Licensee, Licensor is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in, to and under the Licensed Trademarks, including all goodwill of the business connected with the use of, or symbolized by, the Licensed Trademarks. All goodwill generated by Licensee’s use of the Licensed Trademarks inures solely to the benefit of Licensor. Nothing in this Agreement grants Licensee any ownership or other proprietary interest in any Licensed Trademarks.
4. Restrictions on Use. Without limiting the generality of Section 3 of this Agreement, Licensee will not nor attempt to, nor permit, enable, or request any of its Subsidiaries to:
(a) use any Licensed Trademarks in any manner, or engage in any other act or omission, that would be reasonably likely to impair any right of Licensor in, to or under the Licensed Trademarks, including any act or omission that would be reasonably likely to invalidate or cause the cancellation or abandonment of any Licensed Trademarks;
(b) file, acquire or otherwise obtain any registration for or application to register any Trademark or Internet domain name, or acquire, create or otherwise obtain any social media account that consists of, incorporates, uses, or is confusingly similar to any Licensed Trademarks, whether with any Governmental Authority, Internet domain name registrar, social media platform or otherwise (each of the foregoing, a “Registration”);
(c) adopt or use any variation, derivation or acronym of the Licensed Trademarks or any word, symbol or Trademark confusingly similar to the Licensed Trademarks (each, a “Variation”);
(d) use any Licensed Trademarks together with any other word, symbol or Trademark so as to form a composite Trademark (each, a “Composite”);
(e) represent to any other Person that Licensee, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person (other than Licensor or its successors in interest to the Licensed Trademarks) has or will have any ownership interest in any Licensed Trademarks;
(f) grant or attempt to grant a security interest in or lien on, record any security interest or lien on, or otherwise encumber, any Licensed Trademarks or this Agreement; or
(g) contest, challenge or otherwise make any claim or take any action adverse to Licensor’s ownership of or interest in, or the validity of, the Licensed Trademarks, including in any proceeding before any Governmental Authority.
5. Transfer of Rights. If Licensee has or acquires any rights in, to or under the Licensed Trademarks, or any Registrations, Composites or Variations, Licensee hereby irrevocably assigns all such rights to Licensor. At the reasonable request of Licensor, Licensee will execute any document, and perform any act reasonably necessary to obtain or confirm, Licensor’s or its designee’s exclusive ownership interest in and to the Licensed Trademarks and Registrations, in each applicable jurisdiction, including executing and delivering applications, oaths, declarations, affidavits, waivers, assignments and other documents.
6. Compliance with Laws. Licensee will comply with all applicable Laws in connection with its use of the Licensed Trademarks, including the sale, distribution, promotion and advertising of Products, in connection with its use of the Advertising Materials, and in connection with any other exercise of the rights and licenses granted to it under this Agreement.
7. Quality Control.
(a) Licensee will use the Licensed Trademarks under the terms of this Agreement solely in a manner consistent with the operation of the Animal Health Business for the six (6) month period immediately prior to the Effective Date or as otherwise approved in writing by Licensor.
(b) Licensee will comply with any specifications, standards and directions that Licensor may provide in writing from time to time relating to the use of the Licensed Trademarks under this Agreement.
(c) Concerning any Products manufactured by Licensor or its Subsidiaries, or by any Third Party in privity of contract with Licensor or its Subsidiaries, Licensee will not tamper, modify or otherwise take any action to affect the quality of such Products.
(d) Concerning any Products manufactured by Licensee or its Subsidiaries, or by any Third Party in privity of contract with Licensee or its Subsidiaries, Licensee will ensure that such Products at all times meet or exceed (i) the quality and manufacturing standards of similar products in the Products’ industry, (ii) the then-current Good Manufacturing Practices applicable to such Products, (iii) any other standards imposed by the applicable Governmental Authorities and (iv) any specifications and quality provisions set forth in any agreement entered into by the Parties. Licensee will notify Licensor in writing in the event that any Product does not meet such standards.
(e) Inspection. Licensee will permit Licensor to enter any place used for the storage or distribution of the Products, Advertising Materials or Company Books and Records to inspect (at reasonable times and on reasonable advance notice) the methods of storage and distribution to ensure compliance with the quality standards, or any other specifications or requirements, described in this Agreement. Licensee will promptly cease all use of any Licensed Trademark identified by Licensor that does not comply with this Agreement.
(f) Notice. Except where Product Packaging or Advertising Materials originate with Licensor or Licensor’s Subsidiary, Licensee will, to the extent physically practicable, include on all Product Packaging and Advertising Materials that bear a Licensed Trademark (i) a statement that the Licensed Trademark used thereon is a trademark of Licensor and used under license (or any similar statement required by Licensor concerning the status of the Licensed Trademarks), and (ii) the symbols “®,” “™” or other notice required by Licensor and/or the applicable Governmental Authority in proximity to each prominent use of such Licensed Trademark.
8. Enforcement and Maintenance.
(a) Notification. Licensee will promptly notify Licensor upon becoming aware of any use of, or any application or registration for, a Licensed Trademark by any Third Party which Licensee considers might be (i) an infringement, dilution or other violation of such Licensed Trademark or (ii) a claim asserted by any Person that such Licensed Trademark is invalid or that Licensee’s use of such Licensed Trademark infringes, dilutes or otherwise violates any Person’s Trademark or other rights.
(b) Enforcement. Licensor has the sole right, but not the obligation, to take action against other Persons in the courts, administrative agencies or otherwise, at Licensor’s cost and expense, to (i) prevent or terminate infringement, dilution or other violation of the Licensed Trademarks, (ii) oppose or cancel applications or registrations for any Trademarks that may conflict with any Licensed Trademarks, or (iii) otherwise defend the Licensed Trademarks (each of (i)-(iii), an “Action”). Licensee may not initiate or maintain any Action on its own.
(c) Procedure. At the reasonable request of Licensor, Licensee will cooperate with Licensor, at Licensor’s expense, in an Action (including by executing, filing and delivering all documents and evidence requested by Licensor) and will lend its name to that Action if required by Law or if reasonably requested by Licensor. Licensee will not assert or maintain any claim against Licensor based on or arising out of Licensor’s handling of or decisions concerning any Action or any settlement or compromise thereof, and Licensee hereby irrevocably releases Licensor from all such claims. All damages or other compensation of any kind recovered in any Action or from any settlement or compromise thereof, are for the sole benefit of Licensor.
(d) Maintenance. As between Licensor and Licensee, Licensor is responsible for prosecuting, maintaining and renewing applications and registrations for the Licensed Trademarks (“Maintenance”). Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Licensed Trademarks during the term of this Agreement. At Licensor’s request and expense, Licensee will cooperate and provide assistance to Licensor in connection with Maintenance, including (i) supplying specimens and other samples of Licensee’s use of the Licensed
Trademarks and (ii) executing documents and performing lawful acts as reasonably requested by Licensor.

(b) Termination. Licensor may terminate this Agreement and any of the rights granted to Licensee under this Agreement at any time by providing written notice of termination to Licensee if Licensee commits a breach of this Agreement and the breach continues unremedied for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days after Licensor provides written notice to Licensee describing the nature of the breach.

In such a case, this Agreement will remain in effect as to the non-terminated licenses and Products.
(ii) In the event of an unremedied, material breach that gives rise to Licensor’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10(b), Licensor may, in Licensor’s sole discretion, terminate any and all licenses granted under this Agreement as to any and all Products.
