Licensee shall comply with all requests or instructions of Licensor relating to the nature or quality of the Licensed Products, and shall comply with all quality control guidelines of Licensor, as adopted from time to time by Licensor in writing and provided to Licensee. Licensor and Licensee intend the quality control provisions of this Section 4 to require Licensee to maintain the nature and quality of the Licensed Products as required by Licensor, so as to maintain the validity and integrity of the Licensed Marks, as required by applicable law.

4.2 Quality Standards.

Nothing contained herein, however, shall preclude or limit Licensor’s right or ability to inspect any Licensed Products or to determine, in Licensor’s reasonable discretion, whether such Licensed Products comply with the quality standards communicated by Licensor to Licensee in accordance with this Section 4.2. Licensee shall cooperate fully with Licensor, as requested by Licensor, in connection with any such inspection or determination by Licensor. Licensor and Licensee agree that any subsequent adoption of different quality standards with which Licensee must comply may be made to maintain compliance of all Licensed Products with applicable laws and regulations, and Licensor agrees that any different quality control standards adopted during the term of this Agreement shall be reasonable and consistent with the nature and qualities of the products of Licensor or its predecessors on which the Licensed Marks have been used in the past.

4.4 No Disparagement of Licensor or Licensed Marks. Licensee shall not use the Licensed Marks in connection with any activity that disparages Licensor, its products or services, or the Licensed Marks.

4.5 Licensor’s Maintenance of Licensed Marks. Licensor shall take no actions that derogate or devalue the Licensed Marks, and agrees to make reasonable efforts to maintain the goodwill of the Licensed Marks, as well as any registrations for, and applications for registration of, the Licensed Marks. Licensee agrees to cooperate with Licensor or its representatives by timely obtaining and/or submitting to Licensor or its representatives, as requested by Licensor, documents, information, specimens, verified or sworn statements, assignments or other documents reasonably believed by Licensor to be necessary in order to maintain such registrations or prosecute applications for the Licensed Marks. Licensor shall give Licensee notice of any registrations or applications that Licensor does not intend to maintain or further prosecute, and Licensee shall give Licensor notice of any additional applications that Licensee believes should be filed for the Licensed Marks. It shall be Licensor’s right to determine in the first instance whether, when and in what jurisdictions additional applications for registration of the Licensed Marks shall be filed and whether existing applications or registrations shall be further prosecuted or maintained; provided, however, that if Licensee and Licensor disagree regarding any such issues, Licensor shall file, prosecute or maintain such applications or registrations in Licensor’s name if Licensee pays for all expenses, including all attorneys’ fees and filing fees, associated with such applications or registrations; and provided further that the foregoing obligation on Licensor’s part shall not be applicable if Licensor believes in good faith that such application, prosecution or maintenance will be unsuccessful, is unnecessary, or would otherwise cause damage or risk to Licensor, the Licensed Marks, or Licensee.

5. Ownership

5.1 Ownership of Licensed Marks. Licensee acknowledges that Licensor will remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Marks.

8.7 Severability. If any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement are declared void, invalid, unlawful or unenforceable by any judicial or administrative authority having proper jurisdiction over the parties and after all appeals have been exhausted, this declaration shall not, in and of itself, nullify the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in force and effect unless the severing of such term, condition or provision adversely and materially affects the original intent of the parties or the validity of the Licensed Marks; in which event, this Agreement may terminate on sixty (60) days written notice from one party to the other, provided that the parties have first made reasonable, good faith efforts to reach agreement on modifying such term or condition to fulfill as closely as possible the original intent and purpose thereof.

8.8 Integration.

No terms, provisions or conditions of any purchase order, acknowledgement or other business form that either party may use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will have any effect on the rights, duties or obligations of the parties under, or otherwise modify, this Agreement, regardless of any failure of a receiving party to object to such terms, provisions or conditions. This Agreement may not be amended, except by a writing signed by both parties.

ROYALTIES

A. The license granted in this Agreement shall bear royalties at the rate of three-fourths of one percent (0.75%), payable each calendar quarter during the term of this Agreement, commencing on the Effective Date.

B. Licensee shall remit to Licensor, within thirty (30) days after the close of each calendar quarter, an accounting of all royalties due to Licensor, accompanied by payment of such royalties in U.S. dollars. The royalties shall be calculated by multiplying the royalty rate set forth in paragraph A above by the Net Sales by Licensee of Licensed Products during the preceding calendar quarter, exclusive of taxes and less returns during such period. The term “Net Sales” shall be consistent with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America as applied by Licensor in publishing its Annual Report. Licensee shall report such royalties on the form prescribed by Licensor, which shall identify all Licensed Products and state the volume and Net Sales for each Licensed Product with specificity.

C. Licensee shall not be obligated to pay royalties to Licensor based on any sales by Licensee of any Licensed Products that were in Licensee’s inventory as of the Effective Date. Licensor and Licensee shall agree, in writing, as to the value of such inventory, and Licensee may deduct from its royalty payments to Licensor any royalties that would otherwise be payable to Licensor based on the sales of such inventory by Licensee. Licensee shall report all such sales to Licensor in Licensee’s accountings in accordance with paragraph B above, and may make such deduction(s) either as one or more lump-sum deduction(s) from its initial royalty payment(s) or on a rolling basis, as such inventory is sold by Licensee.

D. Licensee shall keep complete and accurate books and records relating to Licensee’s sales of Licensed Products, and Licensor shall have the right, upon reasonable notice to Licensee but no more frequently than once every two (2) years, to have an independent certified public accountant of Licensor’s choice to audit such books and records at Licensor’s expense. If any such audit finds that Licensee has under-reported or underpaid the royalties due to Licensor under this Agreement, Licensee shall remit to Licensor all unpaid royalties within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Licensee of the report of the audit. If any such audit finds that Licensee has under-reported or underpaid royalties by more than five percent (5%), Licensee shall, in addition to remitting all unpaid royalties, also reimburse Licensor for all costs incurred by Licensor in connection with such audit, including all fees and expenses of the accountant that conducted the audit.
