(ii) a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable and non-terminable (except as set forth in Section 17.2 or Section 17.3), non-transferrable (except as set forth in Section 20.8) right and license to use the Licensed VO IP in the Ancillary VO Field.

(i) an exclusive (in accordance with Section 2.1), irrevocable and non- terminable (except as set forth in Section 17.2 or Section 17.3), non-transferrable (except as set forth in Section 20.8) right and license to use the Licensed VR IP in the operation of a VR Business in the Exclusive VR Territory, except that the exclusivity of the right and license granted pursuant to this Section 1.1(b)(ii) will be subject to the European Rentals Licensees’ rights under the European Rentals Trademark License to use the Licensed VR IP (A) in the operation of its existing VR Business in the Nonexclusive European Rentals Territory and (B) to market its inventory worldwide.

(ii) subject to Section 5.3, a non-exclusive, irrevocable and non- terminable (except as set forth in Section 17.2 or Section 17.3), non-transferrable (except as set forth in Section 20.8) right and license to use the Licensed VR IP in (A) the operation of a VR Business in all jurisdictions throughout the world other than the Exclusive VR Territory and the Exclusive European Rentals Territory and (B) the Ancillary VR Field in all jurisdictions throughout the world other than the Exclusive VR Territory and the Exclusive European Rentals Territory; provided, in each case, that in the event that the European Rentals Trademark License terminates, the right and license granted pursuant to this Section 1.1(b)(ii) will, without further action by any Party, extend to the Exclusive European Rentals Territory.

(c) Stock Ticker. The SpinCo Licensors acknowledge and agree that, as of the Effective Date, RemainCo shall be permitted to use the stock ticker symbol “WYND”, and that the rights and licenses granted in this Section 1.1 include the right of RemainCo to use the stock ticker symbol “WYND”. In the event that, after the Effective Date, RemainCo wishes to change its stock ticker symbol to a new stock ticker symbol that uses the Licensed Marks, or any Derivation of any Licensed Xxxx, RemainCo shall submit a request to the Branding Committee, and such request shall be treated as a request by RemainCo to adopt a new Derivation of a Licensed Xxxx under Section 5.2.

(d) Corporate Names. The rights and licenses granted to RemainCo pursuant to this Section 1.1 shall include the right of RemainCo to use the Licensed Marks (or any Derivation thereof) as part of RemainCo’s or any of its Affiliate’s Corporate Names.

(e) Domain Names. The rights and licenses granted to RemainCo pursuant to this Section 1.1 shall include the right of RemainCo to use the Licensed Marks (or any Derivation thereof) in or as part of any Internet domain name (i) that is used or held for use in the RemainCo Field as of the Effective Date, including the domain names set forth on Schedule G, (ii) that

consists of or contains any Exclusive VO Marks, Exclusive XX Xxxxx or “WYND” (for clarity, alone or with other words, but excluding “Wyndham”, unless otherwise permitted by this Section 1.1(e)) or (iii) that may be approved by the Branding Committee (collectively, the “Licensed Domain Names”). RemainCo shall not use the Licensed Marks in or as part of any Internet domain name that is not a Licensed Domain Name hereunder.

(f) Social Media Accounts. The rights and licenses granted to RemainCo pursuant to this Section 1.1 shall include the right of RemainCo to use the Licensed Marks (or any Derivation thereof) in, as part of, or otherwise in connection with any Social Media Assets (i) that are used or held for use in the RemainCo Field as of the Effective Date (or any Derivation thereof), (ii) that consists of or contains any Exclusive VO Marks, Exclusive XX Xxxxx or “WYND” (for clarity, alone or with other words, but excluding “Wyndham”, unless otherwise permitted by this Section 1.1(f)) or (iii) that may be approved by the Branding Committee (“Licensed Social Media Assets”).

(g) Marketing Activities. Notwithstanding any territorial limitations on the rights and licenses granted pursuant to Section 1.1(a) and Section 1.1(b), the rights and licenses granted to RemainCo pursuant to this Section 1.1 shall include the right for RemainCo to use the Licensed IP to market inventory and other services of the businesses in the RemainCo Field worldwide, through any form or medium now or hereafter existing, including via the Internet.

Section 1.2 Sublicenses. RemainCo shall not sublicense the rights and licenses granted hereunder without SpinCo’s prior written consent, except that SpinCo’s consent shall not be required with respect to (i) sublicenses granted to any of RemainCo’s Affiliates (the grant of which shall, for clarity, be subject to Section 9.5(b)) or (ii) sublicenses to use the Licensed VO Marks granted (A) to any HOA in connection with the management and operation of a Licensed HOA, or (B) in connection with subcontracting non-management functions with respect to operating a Licensed VO Product (e.g., sales, marketing and maintenance). For clarity, SpinCo’s prior written consent shall be required for any sublicense under which RemainCo grants a Third Party the right to operate a VO Business on such Third Party’s own account (e.g., a master license or franchise agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, SpinCo’s prior written consent shall not be required for any sublicense granted to a Third Party with respect to the VO Business operated in Brazil under the “Club Wyndham Brasil” Trademark. RemainCo shall (x) require all sublicensees to comply with terms and conditions related to use of the Licensed IP (including, for clarity, with respect to quality control) that are no less stringent than those contained herein; and (y) remain liable for the acts or omissions of any such Person exercising any sublicensed rights hereunder.

Section 1.3 Reservation of Rights. Except for the rights and licenses expressly granted under this Agreement, SpinCo and/or the applicable SpinCo Licensor owns and shall retain all worldwide rights, title and interests in, to and under the Licensed IP.

RemainCo shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of the VO Acquisition Notice to notify SpinCo in writing (a “VO Election Notice”) that it desires to enter into good faith negotiations with SpinCo to purchase the Acquired VO Business identified in such VO Acquisition Notice; provided, that RemainCo shall be deemed to have rejected such VO Acquisition Notice if it fails to provide a VO Election Notice within such thirty (30) day period. If RemainCo timely delivers a VO Election Notice, RemainCo and SpinCo shall negotiate

exclusively, reasonably and in good faith concerning the terms of a potential Acquisition by RemainCo of such Acquired VO Business for a period of ninety (90) days following RemainCo’s delivery of the VO Election Notice.

(ii) VO Divestment Period. If RemainCo and SpinCo are unable to execute a definitive agreement for the Acquisition of such Acquired VO Business by RemainCo within such ninety (90) day period, or if RemainCo rejects or is deemed to have rejected such offer by failing to deliver a VO Election Notice within such thirty (30) day period, then for a period of twelve (12) months beginning on the date of expiration of such ninety (90) day period or such thirty (30) day period, as applicable (the “VO Divestment Period”), SpinCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell or otherwise divest the Acquired VO Business to one or more Third Parties on terms that are not materially more favorable to such Third Party, taken as a whole, than those last offered by RemainCo to SpinCo pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(i), if applicable (including that the consideration for the Acquired VO Business offered or accepted by SpinCo must be greater than the consideration last offered by RemainCo pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(i), if applicable (including, in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any assumed indebtedness or other liabilities)).

If, (x) upon expiration of the VO Divestment Period, SpinCo has not completed the sale or other divestment of the Acquired VO Business to one or more Third Parties in accordance with Section 3.1(b)(ii), or has not entered into any definitive agreement with respect thereto, or (y) such a definitive agreement was entered into during the VO Divestment Period but is subsequently terminated or the transactions contemplated thereby are not subsequently consummated for any reason, at such time, then (A) SpinCo shall deliver a written notice to RemainCo (the “VO Call Offer Notice”) notifying RemainCo of the expiration of such VO Divestment Period, and (B) RemainCo shall have the right to purchase such Acquired VO Business from SpinCo for a purchase price equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Fair Market Value of such Acquired VO Business (the “VO Call Option”). RemainCo shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of such VO Call Offer Notice to notify SpinCo in writing (a “VO Call Election Notice”) of its election to exercise the VO Call Option; provided, that RemainCo shall be deemed to have rejected such VO Call Offer Notice if it fails to provide a VO Call Election Notice within such thirty (30) day period. If RemainCo timely delivers a VO Call Election Notice, RemainCo and SpinCo shall negotiate exclusively, reasonably and in good faith to execute a definitive agreement and shall consummate the transactions contemplated thereby as promptly as practicable.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.2(a), RemainCo may Acquire any Person, business or assets that, immediately prior to such Acquisition, is carrying on, engaged in or has any Equity Interest in any Lodging Business (the portion of such Acquired Person, business or assets that is a Lodging Business, an “Acquired Lodging Business”); provided, that within fifteen (15) Business Days following the completion of such Acquisition, RemainCo shall deliver a written notice to SpinCo notifying SpinCo of such

Acquisition, including the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition (the “Lodging Acquisition Notice”), and shall offer to SpinCo the right to purchase such Acquired Lodging Business. SpinCo shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of the Lodging Acquisition Notice to notify RemainCo in writing (a “Lodging Election Notice”) that it desires to enter into good faith negotiations with RemainCo to purchase the Acquired Lodging Business identified in such Lodging Acquisition Notice; provided, that SpinCo shall be deemed to have rejected such Lodging Acquisition Notice if it fails to provide a Lodging Election Notice within such thirty (30) day period. If SpinCo timely delivers a Lodging Election Notice, SpinCo and RemainCo shall negotiate exclusively, reasonably and in good faith concerning the terms of a potential Acquisition by SpinCo of such Acquired Lodging Business for a period of ninety (90) days following SpinCo’s delivery of the Lodging Election Notice.

(ii) Lodging Divestment Period. If SpinCo and RemainCo are unable to execute a definitive agreement for the Acquisition of such Acquired Lodging Business by SpinCo within such ninety (90) day period, or if SpinCo rejects or is deemed to have rejected such offer by failing to deliver a Lodging Election Notice within such thirty (30) day period, then for a period of twelve (12) months beginning on the date of expiration of such ninety (90) day period or such thirty (30) day period, as applicable (the “Lodging Divestment Period”), RemainCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell or otherwise divest the Acquired Lodging Business to one or more Third Parties on terms that are not materially more favorable to such Third Party, taken as a whole, than those last offered by SpinCo to RemainCo pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(i), if applicable (including that the consideration for the Acquired Lodging Business offered or accepted by RemainCo must be greater than the consideration last offered by SpinCo pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(i), if applicable (including, in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any assumed indebtedness or other liabilities)).

Lodging Units to VO Products during such period; provided, further that, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B) above, if RemainCo has not completed the conversion of all of the Lodging Units of such Conversion Hotel to VO Products within thirty-six (36) months, then SpinCo shall have the right, but not the obligation (solely to the extent that such right would not violate any Law or any existing contract to which RemainCo is party that RemainCo does not have the right to terminate without penalty), to (1) franchise such Conversion Hotel and (2) solely to the extent such Conversion Hotel is not operated or managed by RemainCo or a RemainCo Partner, or by a Third Party under an existing contract that RemainCo does not have the right to terminate without penalty, operate or manage (or engage a Third Party to operate or manage, under a management or license agreement or otherwise) such Conversion Hotel until the date that the conversion of all such Conversion Hotel’s Lodging Units to VO Products has been completed (clauses (1) and (2), collectively “SpinCo Conversion Hotel Rights”). In the event that SpinCo exercises any such SpinCo Conversion Hotel Rights, SpinCo and RemainCo shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith to execute a definitive agreement with respect to such franchising, operation and/or management of such Conversion Hotel, as applicable, as promptly as practicable.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 20.14, (A) in no event shall any obligation of RemainCo under Section 3.2(c)(i) be delayed for a period that exceeds twenty-four (24) months in the aggregate for any Conversion Hotel; and (B) no conditions of Force Majeure shall affect or otherwise delay SpinCo’s Conversion Hotel Rights under Section 3.2(c)(i) above.

(d) Other RemainCo Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3.2(a), RemainCo may:

(i) engage in a Mixed-Use Project subject to, if and as applicable, Section 8.1(a) and Section 3.2(b);

(ii) market excess VO Units to the general public for transient stays under the Amended and Restated Distribution Agreement, dated as of the Effective Date, between Extra Holidays, LLC and SpinCo;

(iii) operate Lodging Units as a SpinCo franchisee under a franchise agreement (or similar agreement) between RemainCo and SpinCo;

(iv) develop, sell, market, manage, operate and finance condo hotels, including in accordance with the license in the Ancillary VO Field under Section 1.1(a)(ii) hereof;

(v) market or sell Lodging Units through any Exchange Program operated by RCI or any of its Affiliates (or any successor thereto);

(vi) market, sell and distribute Lodging Units in certain properties that are branded with any SpinCo Brand and that SpinCo elects to have participate in

the travel intermediary distribution program of RemainCo, pursuant to a written agreement between SpinCo and RemainCo; and

(vii) engage in any activity RemainCo is specifically permitted to engage in under any agreement between SpinCo and RemainCo entered into on or after the Effective Date.

Section 3.3 Extension of Noncompetition Term. Upon the expiration of the Initial Noncompetition Period, if RemainCo’s Gross VOI Sales for calendar year 2042 are in an amount that is greater than or equal to 80% of RemainCo’s Adjusted Projected Gross VOI Sales, then RemainCo shall have the option, but not the obligation, to renew this Article III until the thirtieth (30th) anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Extension Noncompetition Period”) by delivering written notice thereof to SpinCo at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such period.

Section 3.4 Reasonableness of Covenants. Each of the Parties agrees that these restraints are necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of each of RemainCo and SpinCo and that each and every one of the restraints herein is reasonable in respect of subject matter, length of time and geographic area. Each of the Parties acknowledges that each of these covenants has a unique, very substantial and immeasurable value to the other Party. Each of SpinCo and RemainCo further covenant that such Party will not challenge the reasonableness or enforceability of any of the covenants set forth in this Article III, Article VIII or Section 9.5, and that such Party will reimburse the other Party for all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any action to enforce any of the provisions of this Article III, Article VIII or Section 9.5 if such other Party prevails on any issue involved in such dispute or if such Party challenges the reasonableness or enforceability of any of the provisions of this Article III, Article VIII or Section 9.5.

Section 3.5 Reformation. If, at the time of enforcement of any of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Article III, Article VIII or Section 9.5, it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any jurisdiction or any arbitration or mediation tribunal that any restriction in this Article III, Article VIII or Section 9.5 is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under applicable Law under circumstances then existing, then it is the intention of the Parties that the maximum duration or scope under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration or scope and that such court or tribunal shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period and scope permitted by Law; provided, however, that in no event shall the duration or scope be expanded from those then currently provided for by this Article III, Article VIII or Section 9.5, as applicable. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, whenever possible, each provision of this Article III, Article VIII and Section 9.5 will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Article III, Article VIII or Section 9.5 is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Article III, Article VIII or Section 9.5, as applicable, will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

Section 3.6 Equitable Relief and Other Remedies. Each of SpinCo and RemainCo agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions of this Article III, Article VIII or Section 9.5 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. Accordingly, it is hereby agreed that each of SpinCo and RemainCo shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions or other equitable relief to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Article III, Article VIII or Section 9.5 in any court of the U.S. or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at Law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. Each of SpinCo and RemainCo agree that the remedies at Law for any breach or threatened breach of this Article III, Article VIII or Section 9.5, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of SpinCo and RemainCo.

Section 3.7 Noncompetition Covenants of Controlled Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms, conditions, rights and obligations set forth in this Article III, Article VIII and Section 9.5 are subject to Section 20.9 in all respects.

Promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days of receipt of a RemainCo Jurisdiction Notice, SpinCo shall notify RemainCo in writing (a “SpinCo Jurisdiction Response”) if SpinCo believes that RemainCo’s use of such Licensed Xxxx as described in the RemainCo Jurisdiction Notice reasonably could be expected to result, directly or indirectly, in (i) the invalidity, unenforceability or voiding of, or other impairment to, SpinCo’s rights in any Licensed Marks, or any other

Trademarks owned or controlled by SpinCo (including any injury to the goodwill associated therewith) or (ii) the loss or other impairment of SpinCo’s ability to apply for or obtain any registration for any Licensed Marks or any other Trademarks owned or controlled by SpinCo.

(b) In the event that RemainCo is not prohibited from using any Licensed Xxxx in a Subject Jurisdiction under Section 5.4(a), subject to RemainCo’s compliance with Section 5.3 (if applicable), RemainCo may proceed to use the Licensed Xxxx in the Subject Jurisdiction as described in the RemainCo Jurisdiction Notice and, for clarity, the rights and licenses granted to RemainCo pursuant to Section 1.1 shall extend to such use, without the need for any further documentation or other action by any Party.

Subject to the final sentence of this Section 9.1, in the event that SpinCo or any of its Affiliates propose to Transfer any Licensed Marks to any Third Party (a “Proposed Sale”), SpinCo shall provide written notice thereof to RemainCo (a “SpinCo Sale Notice”) and offer to RemainCo the right to purchase such Licensed Marks described in such SpinCo Sale Notice on the same terms and conditions set forth therein. The SpinCo Sale Notice shall include the material terms and conditions of such Proposed Sale, including the identity of the proposed transferee, the nature of such Transfer, the Licensed Marks to be Transferred and the consideration to be paid therefor. RemainCo shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of the SpinCo Sale Notice to notify SpinCo in writing (the “RemainCo Sale Election Notice”) of its election to purchase the Licensed Marks pursuant to such SpinCo Sale Notice on the same terms and conditions set forth therein; provided that RemainCo shall be deemed to have rejected such SpinCo Sale Notice if it fails to provide the RemainCo Sale Election Notice within such thirty (30)-day period. If RemainCo timely delivers a RemainCo Sale Election Notice, RemainCo and SpinCo shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith to execute a definitive agreement for the Transfer of the Licensed Marks identified in the SpinCo Sale Notice,

substantially upon the terms and conditions set forth in the SpinCo Sale Notice (or on such other terms and conditions no less favorable than those set forth in the SpinCo Sale Notice) within thirty (30) days following RemainCo’s delivery of the RemainCo Sale Election Notice. If RemainCo rejects or is deemed to have rejected such offer by failing to deliver a RemainCo Sale Election Notice within such thirty (30)-day period, then SpinCo shall thereafter be free to consummate the Proposed Sale to such Third Party without RemainCo’s involvement, on terms and conditions that are not materially more favorable to such Third Party than those offered to RemainCo in the SpinCo Sale Notice; provided, however, that if within one hundred and eighty (180) days after RemainCo’s rejection or deemed rejection of any SpinCo Sale Notice in accordance with the terms hereof, SpinCo shall not have consummated such Proposed Sale, or the terms of such Proposed Sale have changed in any material respect, then such Proposed Sale shall once again be subject to the rights of RemainCo set forth in this Section 9.1.

SpinCo shall prosecute all applications for registration of any Trademarks included in the Licensed Marks, at SpinCo’s cost and expense; provided, however, that RemainCo shall reimburse SpinCo for all Third Party costs and expenses associated with the prosecution of any Licensed Marks that are primarily used in the RemainCo Field, in accordance with Section 11.5. If SpinCo fails to timely prosecute any Licensed Marks (including as a result of a determination by SpinCo that such prosecution is not economically

practicable), RemainCo shall have the right (but not the obligation), at its cost and expense and subject to good faith consultation with SpinCo, to prosecute such Licensed Marks, and SpinCo shall, at RemainCo’s cost and expense, provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance requested by RemainCo in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SpinCo shall not be required to prosecute, and RemainCo shall have no right to prosecute, any application for a Licensed Xxxx if SpinCo reasonably determines such prosecution could reasonably be expected to result, directly or indirectly, in (i) the invalidity, unenforceability or voiding of, or other impairment to SpinCo’s rights in any such Licensed Xxxx or any other Trademarks owned or controlled by SpinCo (including any injury to the goodwill associated therewith) or (ii) the loss or other impairment of SpinCo’s ability to apply for or obtain any registration for any such Licensed Marks or any other Trademarks owned or controlled by SpinCo.

(b) New Applications.

(i) RemainCo may, from time to time, request in writing that SpinCo file an application to register any Licensed Xxxx for which a registration does not currently exist (each, a “RemainCo-Requested Application”). Within thirty (30) days of receipt of a request by RemainCo for a RemainCo-Requested Application, SpinCo shall file and prosecute such RemainCo-Requested Application, provided, however, that if SpinCo believes the filing of such application (or the issuance of any registration that results therefrom) reasonably could be expected to result, directly or indirectly, in (A) the invalidity, unenforceability or voiding of, or other impairment to, SpinCo’s rights in any Licensed Marks, or any other Trademarks owned or controlled by SpinCo (including any injury to the goodwill associated therewith) or (B) the loss or other impairment of SpinCo’s ability to apply for or obtain any registration for any Licensed Marks or any other Trademarks owned or controlled by SpinCo, SpinCo shall notify RemainCo in writing of such belief (a “RemainCo-Requested Application Response”). Upon RemainCo’s receipt of the RemainCo-Requested Application Response, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to address SpinCo’s concerns. If SpinCo’s concerns are unable to be addressed, as reasonably determined by SpinCo, SpinCo shall not be required to file or prosecute such RemainCo-Requested Application. SpinCo shall control the prosecution of any RemainCo-Requested Application, and RemainCo shall reimburse SpinCo for all Third Party costs and expenses associated with any RemainCo-Requested Applications, and SpinCo shall invoice RemainCo for such costs and expenses in accordance with Section 11.5.

(ii) If, during the Term, SpinCo or any of its Affiliates files new applications for registration of any Trademarks included in the Licensed Marks for use in the RemainCo Field (including any RemainCo-Requested Application), such applications, and any registration issuing therefrom, shall automatically be deemed to be included in the Licensed Marks, without the need for any further documentation or other action by any Party.

Section 10.3 Maintenance of Licensed Marks. SpinCo shall maintain all registrations for the Licensed Marks (except where any Licensed Xxxx is unable to be maintained under applicable Law), at SpinCo’s cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SpinCo shall not be required

to maintain any registration of any Licensed Xxxx if SpinCo reasonably determines such maintenance is not economically practicable; provided that any determination by SpinCo that maintenance of a Licensed Xxxx is not economically practicable shall be without regard to which Party primarily uses such Licensed Xxxx. If SpinCo intends to abandon or permit to lapse any registration for a Licensed Xxxx, SpinCo shall give RemainCo reasonable advance notice thereof, and RemainCo shall have the right (but not the obligation), at its sole cost and expense and subject to good faith consultation with SpinCo, to maintain such Licensed Marks, and SpinCo shall, at RemainCo’s cost and expense, provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance requested by RemainCo in connection therewith.

Section 10.4 Enforcement of Licensed Marks. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of any known, actual, suspected, or threatened infringement or other violation of the Licensed Marks that could reasonably be expected to be material; provided, however, that, with respect to SpinCo, this obligation shall be limited to any such known, actual, suspected or threatened infringement or other violation of the Licensed Marks in the RemainCo Field. SpinCo shall have the initial right, but not the obligation, to enforce or threaten to enforce the Licensed Marks against any party, and to assert or threaten to assert any of the Licensed Marks as a counterclaim against any Third Party in any Action brought or threatened by such Third Party, in each case, at SpinCo’s cost and expense, and RemainCo shall, at SpinCo’s cost and expense, provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance requested by SpinCo in connection therewith. SpinCo shall retain all recoveries in an enforcement proceeding it initiates. If SpinCo intends not to enforce any Licensed Xxxx, SpinCo shall give RemainCo reasonable advance notice thereof, and RemainCo shall have the right (but not the obligation), in its own name and at its sole cost and expense, and subject to good faith consultation with SpinCo, to enforce such Licensed Marks, and SpinCo shall, at RemainCo’s cost and expense, provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance requested by RemainCo in connection therewith. RemainCo shall retain all recoveries in an enforcement proceeding it initiates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SpinCo shall not be required to enforce or threaten to enforce, and RemainCo shall have no right to enforce, any Licensed Marks if SpinCo reasonably determines such enforcement could reasonably be expected to result, directly or indirectly, in (i) the invalidity, unenforceability or voiding of, or other material impairment to SpinCo’s rights in any such Licensed Xxxx or any other Trademarks owned or controlled by SpinCo (including any injury to the goodwill associated therewith) or (ii) the loss or other material impairment of SpinCo’s ability to apply for or obtain any registration for any such Licensed Marks or any other Trademarks owned or controlled by SpinCo.

Section 10.5 Composite Marks. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Article X, the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule K shall govern with respect to the ownership, prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of any Trademark that includes any Licensed Xxxx together with a Trademark owned by RemainCo (or in which RemainCo desires to acquire ownership through use or registration) (a “Composite Xxxx”).

ARTICLE XI
ROYALTY; PAYMENTS

Section 11.1 Royalty. In exchange for the licenses and rights granted hereunder, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 11.2, RemainCo (or its designated Affiliate) shall pay to

SpinCo (or its designated Affiliate) a royalty, payable in accordance Section 11.5, in an amount equal to the sum of:

(a) 4.06% of Gross Non-Affinity VOI Sales; plus

(b) the Affinity Royalty, if any; plus

Section 11.2 Royalty Adjustment. In the event the Marketing Services Agreement terminates pursuant to Section 8.03(c) thereof (and, for clarity, no other reason), as of the effectiveness of such termination, the royalty payable on all Gross Affinity VOI Sales and all Gross Non-Affinity VOI Sales shall be reduced to 3.5%.

Section 11.3 Minimum Annual Royalty. RemainCo acknowledges and agrees that, for the duration of the Initial Term, in no event shall the total annual Royalty payable to SpinCo (or its designated Affiliate) hereunder be less than the Minimum Annual Royalty. If, at the end of any given calendar year, RemainCo has not paid Royalties equal to or greater than the Minimum Annual Royalty, RemainCo (or its designated Affiliate) shall pay SpinCo (or its designated Affiliate) the difference between the Minimum Annual Royalty and the amounts actually paid by RemainCo (or its designated Affiliate) for such calendar year (or portion thereof) (the “Minimum Annual Royalty Shortfall”), in accordance with Section 11.5.

Section 11.4 Minimum Annual Royalty Adjustment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Minimum Annual Royalty shall be reset to a lower amount, such amount to be mutually agreed by the Parties, in the event that (i) the Royalty payable to SpinCo hereunder is less than the Minimum Annual Royalty for two (2) consecutive calendar years and (ii) RemainCo’s board of directors determines in good faith that changes in the vacation ownership industry or changes in RemainCo’s position in the vacation ownership industry (excluding any changes by RemainCo primarily intended to reduce the Royalties paid to SpinCo during such two (2) year period (or any portion thereof)) have resulted in RemainCo being unlikely to generate Gross VOI Sales that meet the Minimum Annual Royalty.

Section 11.5 Payments. RemainCo (or its designated Affiliate) shall pay SpinCo (or its designated Affiliate) (i) the Royalty for Gross VOI Sales that accrue for each calendar month within forty-five (45) days of the end of such calendar month, (ii) with respect to the final calendar month, the Minimum Annual Royalty Shortfall (if any) within forty-five (45) days of the end of such calendar month and (iii) all other undisputed amounts payable to SpinCo hereunder within forty-five (45) days of receipt of an invoice from SpinCo for such amounts. All amounts payable to SpinCo (or its designated Affiliate) shall be paid in U.S. dollars via a wire transfer (or other method reasonably designated by SpinCo) of immediately available funds, pursuant to SpinCo’s commercially reasonable instructions. In connection with making any payments pursuant to subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 11.5, RemainCo shall provide to SpinCo a report (a “Royalty Report”), together with any supporting documentation reasonably requested by SpinCo with respect to the calculation by RemainCo of the Royalty amount or the Minimum Annual Royalty Shortfall, as applicable. In connection with making any payments pursuant to subsection (iii) of

this Section 11.5, SpinCo shall provide to RemainCo any supporting documentation reasonably requested by RemainCo with respect to the amounts.

Section 11.6 Interest on Late Payments. If RemainCo does not make any payment due under this Agreement within fourteen (14) days after its due date, RemainCo shall pay interest from the due date until the date of payment compounded monthly, at the interest rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus nine percent (9%).

Section 11.7 Taxes. RemainCo shall bear and be solely responsible for all taxes, duties and deductions (including any sales, value added, use, excise, gross receipts, income, goods and service taxes, stamp or other duties, fees, deductions, withholdings or other payments, and including penalties and interest as a result of failure to comply) (collectively, “Taxes”) levied on, deducted or withheld from, or assessed or imposed on any payments made by, RemainCo hereunder. If SpinCo or its designee pays any such amounts due, then RemainCo must reimburse SpinCo therefor; provided that any such payment shall be net of credits or refunds available to SpinCo with respect to such amounts due. RemainCo and SpinCo shall, with respect to any Tax described in this Section 11.7, cooperate in good faith to reduce such Tax (including the deduction or withholding of such Tax), and shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, provide forms, invoices or other documentation to one another that would reduce such Tax (including any deduction or withholding).

Section 11.8 Letter of Credit.

(a) If during the Term, (i) RemainCo were to suffer a downgrade to its senior debt credit rating to below B (as rated by Standard & Poor’s) or below B2 (as rated by Xxxxx’x Investors Services, Inc.), (ii) RemainCo were to no longer have its debt securities rated by any nationally recognized credit rating agencies, (iii) RemainCo informs SpinCo that it (or any direct or indirect parent thereof) intends to file or commence any voluntary insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding or that it reasonably believes that any creditor or lender intends to commence any involuntary insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding or foreclose on any collateral with respect to RemainCo (or any direct or indirect parent thereof), (iv) RemainCo (or any direct or indirect parent thereof) retains any counsel to assist with any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding or has begun utilizing any existing counsel to assist with any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, in each case with respect to RemainCo (or any direct or indirect parent thereof), or (v) RemainCo’s board of directors (or other governing body) (or the board of directors (or other governing body) of any direct or indirect parent thereof) has approved or authorized any decision to file or commence any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding with respect to RemainCo (or any direct or indirect parent thereof), then, RemainCo shall promptly notify SpinCo of the occurrence of any such circumstances set forth in clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 11.8, as applicable, and upon the demand of SpinCo, RemainCo shall be required to post a letter of credit or similar security obligation reasonably acceptable to SpinCo in an amount equal to two (2) times an amount equal to the Royalty owed by RemainCo to SpinCo hereunder during the twelve (12)-month period ending on the date that RemainCo notifies SpinCo of the occurrence of any such circumstance set forth in clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 11.8, which shall include a pro-rata portion of the Minimum Annual Royalty owed with respect to such twelve (12)-month period, as applicable, in respect of its obligation to pay amounts due under this Article XI. For the avoidance of doubt, the posting of such a letter of credit or similar security obligation shall in no event relieve RemainCo

of its obligations under this Article XI, and shall not result in a cap on RemainCo’s liabilities with respect thereto or otherwise under this Agreement.

(b) If, during the Term, RemainCo (i) fails, twice consecutively, to pay the Royalty amounts due under this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.5 or (ii) fails to pay the Minimum Annual Royalty Shortfall (excluding any instance where the shortfall in the total Royalties due to SpinCo do not exceed one million U.S. dollars ($1,000,000)), and each such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days following written notice from SpinCo, delivered after the due date for such payment, notifying RemainCo that such payment is overdue, SpinCo shall notify RemainCo thereof, and RemainCo shall have fifteen (15) days to cure such failure (or, in the case of (i) above, such second failure), failing which, upon the demand of SpinCo, RemainCo shall be required to post a letter of credit or similar security obligation reasonably acceptable to SpinCo in an amount equal to the greater of (x) the previous six (6) months of Royalties payable to SpinCo and (y) one-half (1/2) of the Minimum Annual Royalty, and SpinCo shall be entitled to draw from such letter of credit or similar security obligation for all future past-due amounts. In the event such letter of credit or similar security obligation is exhausted, RemainCo shall be required to replenish such letter of credit or similar security obligation, in an amount equal to the greater of (x) the previous six (6) months of Royalties payable to SpinCo and (y) one-half (1/2) of the Minimum Annual Royalty. If RemainCo fails to replenish such letter of credit or similar security obligation, and RemainCo (A) fails again, twice consecutively, to pay amounts due under this Agreement or (B) fails to pay the Minimum Annual Royalty Shortfall (excluding any instance where the shortfall in the total Royalties due to SpinCo do not exceed one million U.S. dollars ($1,000,000)), and each such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days following written notice from SpinCo, delivered after the due date for such payment, notifying RemainCo that such payment is overdue, SpinCo may terminate this Agreement, upon written notice to RemainCo. For the avoidance of doubt, the posting of such a letter of credit or similar security obligation shall in no event relieve RemainCo of its obligations under this Article XI, and shall not result in a cap on RemainCo’s liabilities with respect thereto or otherwise under this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII
ACCOUNTING AND REPORTS

Section 12.1 Maintenance of Records. RemainCo shall, at its expense, maintain and preserve for at least five (5) years after their creation or generation (or such longer period of time required by applicable Law or RemainCo’s internal policies with respect thereto) complete and accurate books, records and accounts of any VO Business operated by RemainCo and the VR Business operated by RemainCo under or using any of the Licensed XX Xxxxx, in accordance with GAAP and all applicable Law.

Section 12.2 Audit.

(a) During the Term and for three (3) years thereafter, SpinCo shall have the right, at any time (but not more than once per calendar year, unless an audit reveals an understatement in such year), upon reasonable advance notice to RemainCo, to have an independent third party examine all books, records and accounts of RemainCo for the five (5) years preceding such examination that relate to the calculation of the Royalty or the Minimum Annual Royalty Shortfall (if any), and other amounts payable under this Agreement where the calculation

of such amount depends on information provided by RemainCo, and copy such information that is reasonably necessary for, and relevant to, such audit. RemainCo shall provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested by such independent third party related to such audit.

(b) If an examination or audit reveals that RemainCo has made underpayments to SpinCo, RemainCo (or its designee) shall promptly pay to SpinCo (or its designee) upon demand the amount underpaid plus interest, which shall be calculated and accrue as described in Section 11.6. If RemainCo, in good faith, disputes that there was an underpayment, the Parties shall review the books and records in a cooperative manner in an attempt to resolve any discrepancy.

(c) If an examination or audit reveals that RemainCo has made overpayments to SpinCo, SpinCo (or its designee) shall promptly pay to RemainCo (or its designee) upon demand the amount overpaid or RemainCo may, at its option, deduct such amount from future Royalty payments made pursuant to Section 11.5, noting such offset in the accompanying Royalty Report. If SpinCo does not pay RemainCo such overpaid amount within forty-five (45) days after receiving documentation evidencing such overpayment reasonably requested by SpinCo, SpinCo shall pay interest on such overpaid amount, which shall be calculated and accrue as described in Section 11.6.

(c) In the event RemainCo materially breaches Article VI of this Agreement, and the impact of such breach has had or will have a material adverse effect on the goodwill associated with the Licensed Marks, taken as a whole, and such breach is not remedied in all material respects within thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach is received by RemainCo from SpinCo describing such failure in reasonable detail (which notice shall be sent by SpinCo within thirty (30) days of the date on which SpinCo learns of such breach), SpinCo shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to RemainCo; provided, however, that (i) with respect to a breach that cannot reasonably be cured within such period, RemainCo shall establish a remediation plan for curing such breach that is reasonably acceptable to SpinCo and, if RemainCo has meaningfully commenced to cure the breach and/or default within the thirty (30) day cure period pursuant to such remediation plan and diligently and continuously continues to prosecute such cure, such cure period shall be extended for an additional ninety (90) days (for a total of one hundred and twenty (120) days) and (ii) with respect to a breach that, by its nature, is not capable of being cured through the use of RemainCo’s commercially reasonable efforts, if RemainCo, considering SpinCo’s recommendations in good faith, diligently and promptly takes measures to mitigate any damage caused (or that will be caused) by such breach and prevent such breach (and any similar breach) from reoccurring, SpinCo shall have no right to terminate this Agreement.

(d) In the event RemainCo materially breaches its obligations under Article III, and such breach is not remedied in all material respects within twelve (12) months after written notice of such breach is received by RemainCo from SpinCo, SpinCo shall have the right to

terminate this Agreement upon written notice to SpinCo; provided, however, that during such twelve (12) month cure period, SpinCo has reasonably sought all other rights and remedies it may have at Law or in equity with respect to such breach.

Section 17.3 RemainCo Termination.

(a) In the event SpinCo materially breaches Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement, and such breach is not remedied in all material respects within six (6) months after written notice of such breach is received by SpinCo from RemainCo, RemainCo shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to SpinCo; provided, however, that during such six (6) month cure period, RemainCo has reasonably sought all other rights and remedies it may have at Law or in equity with respect to such breach.

(c) In the event SpinCo enters into and consummates an agreement for the Transfer of any Licensed Marks to a Third Party, has not complied with Section 9.1 of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within fifteen (15) days written notice thereof from RemainCo, RemainCo shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to SpinCo.

Section 17.4 No Other Rights to Terminate. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, except as expressly set forth in Section 11.8(b), Section 17.2 and Section 17.3, this Agreement may not be terminated by any Party.

Section 17.5 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement:

(i) except in the case of a termination by RemainCo pursuant to Section 17.3, all Royalties payable to SpinCo during the Initial Term (or if such termination occurs during the Tail Period, the Tail Period) shall automatically become due, and RemainCo shall promptly pay all Royalties due to SpinCo in respect of the remainder of the Initial Term or Tail Period, as applicable; provided, however, that the Minimum Annual Royalty shall not apply after the termination of this Agreement.

GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 19.1 Dispute Resolution.

(a) In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (including its formation, interpretation, breach or termination, and whether contractual or non-contractual in nature) (a “Dispute”), the general counsels of the Parties shall seek to amicably resolve such Dispute for a period of thirty (30) days. If the general counsels of the Parties are unable to resolve such Dispute within such thirty (30) days period, each Party may serve written notice of the Dispute on the other Party (a “Dispute Notice”), after which the chief executive officers of the Parties shall negotiate for a reasonable period of time following receipt of a Dispute Notice to seek to amicably resolve such Dispute; provided that such period shall not, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, exceed forty-five (45) days from the time of receipt by a Party of a Dispute Notice.

(b) In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute in accordance with Section 19.1(a), a Party may request that such Dispute be finally settled by arbitration under the then-existing Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”), except as such Rules may be modified by the terms hereof. The seat of the arbitration shall be New York City, New York. Within twenty (20) days of requesting that such Dispute be submitted to arbitration, each Party shall designate one (1) arbitrator, and the two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall jointly designate the third arbitrator. The proceedings shall be conducted in the English language. All matters relating to the arbitration or the award, and any negotiations, conferences and discussions pursuant to this Section 19.1 shall be treated as Confidential Information and shall be subject to Article XVIII of this Agreement. Judgment upon any award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its assets. The costs associated with arbitration shall be borne by the losing Party, or if no Party is readily ascertainable as the losing Party based on the arbitral award, borne by the Parties evenly or as the Parties may otherwise agree. The receipt of a Dispute Notice associated with a specified Dispute pursuant to Section 19.1(a) shall toll the running of any applicable statute of limitations associated with the Dispute, until the Parties have jointly determined in writing that they are unable to resolve the Dispute, or the Dispute is resolved in accordance with this Section 19.1(b).

(c) Neither Section 19.1(a) nor Section 19.1(a) shall prohibit a Party from seeking injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of a breach or prospective breach of this Agreement by the other Party where such relief is available under applicable Law. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event any Party seeks injunctive relief in the event of a breach or prospective breach of this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the non-prevailing party for commercially reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with seeking such relief.

Section 19.2 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION UNDERTAKEN IN ACCORDANCE WITH Section 19.1) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING ITS STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES OR OTHER RULES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A DIFFERENT JURISDICTION.

Section 19.3 Consent to Jurisdiction. Subject to the provisions of Section 19.1, each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within New York County (the “New York Courts”), for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding to compel arbitration or for provisional relief in aid of arbitration in accordance with Section 19.1 or to prevent irreparable harm, and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the enforcement of any award issued thereunder. Each of the Parties further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s respective address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction in this Section 19.3. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the New York Courts, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally

waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 19.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 19.4.

Section 19.5 Continuity of Service Performance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article XIX with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.

Section 20.7 Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the Parties.

Section 20.8 Assignment; Financing.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, RemainCo may not assign (including by operation of Law), or mortgage, pledge, encumber or grant a security interest in or lien against its rights under, this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of SpinCo, except that RemainCo may assign this Agreement in its entirety, with written notice to SpinCo, (i) to an Affiliate solely (A) as part of an internal reorganization or restructuring for tax, administrative or other similar purposes and (B) if such Affiliate is the ultimate parent entity of RemainCo or otherwise has the power to control the actions of all of RemainCo’s Affiliates receiving the benefit of this Agreement; or (ii) subject to Section 9.5, in connection with an Acquisition of RemainCo which involves either (A) a merger, consolidation or other similar transaction in which RemainCo is not the surviving entity or (B) a sale of all or substantially all of

RemainCo’s assets; provided, in each case, that such Affiliate, or the surviving entity of such merger, consolidation or other similar transaction or the transferee of such assets, as applicable, shall agree in writing, reasonably satisfactory to SpinCo, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (including Article III) as if named as a “Party” hereto.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, SpinCo may not assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of RemainCo, except that SpinCo may, subject to compliance with Section 9.1, assign (i) this Agreement in its entirety to any Person to whom all of the Licensed IP is Transferred; provided that (A) the transferee and the ultimate parent entity of such transferee must expressly agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Article III), and (B) in no event may SpinCo assign its rights under Section 3.2(b) or Section 3.2(c) to such Person; and (ii) the relevant portion of this Agreement, in the event a portion of the Licensed IP is Transferred to any Person, provided that (A) the transferee and the ultimate parent entity of such transferee must expressly agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to such Licensed IP and the terms of Article III, and (B) in no event may SpinCo assign its rights under Section 3.2(b) or Section 3.2(c) to such Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no such assignment of this Agreement, or any or all of the Licensed IP, by SpinCo shall relieve SpinCo of its obligations under Article III for the duration of the Noncompetition Term.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 20.8(a), in connection with any indebtedness for borrowed money, RemainCo may pledge, encumber or grant a security interest in or lien against, its rights under this Agreement, without SpinCo’s consent, in connection with the pledge of, or grant of a security interest in or lien upon, all or substantially all of the assets of RemainCo to which this Agreement relates; provided, that RemainCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide SpinCo reasonable advance written notice thereof.

(d) SpinCo may (i) pledge, encumber or otherwise grant, as collateral in connection with any indebtedness for borrowed money, a security interest in or lien against any or all of its rights in, to and under the Licensed IP or (ii) assign, for securitization purposes, any or all of its rights in, to and under the Licensed IP; provided, that in each case, (x) SpinCo must provide RemainCo reasonable advance notice of the pledge or other grant of any such security interest or lien, or any such assignment, and (y) without limiting any rights of RemainCo under applicable Law, any such security interest or lien is pledged or otherwise granted, or such assignment is made, expressly subject to the licenses and other rights granted to RemainCo under this Agreement, including, for clarity, the rights granted to RemainCo under Section 9.1 of this Agreement. In the event that SpinCo pledges or otherwise grants a security interest in or lien on, or assigns for securitization purposes, any or all of its rights in, to or under the Licensed IP pursuant to this Section 20.8(d) and SpinCo anticipates that it may default on such pledge, grant or assignment, SpinCo shall notify RemainCo of such anticipated default, and RemainCo shall reasonably cooperate with SpinCo, at SpinCo’s cost and expense, to avoid such anticipated default. In the event that the Parties are unable to avoid such default and SpinCo defaults on any payment obligation, without limiting any other rights and remedies RemainCo may have at Law or in equity with respect to such default, RemainCo shall have the right to step in and cure such payment default on behalf of SpinCo and set-off such amount against any future Royalty or Minimum Annual

Royalty Shortfall payments due hereunder. The mechanism and timing for any such set-off shall be agreed to by the Parties in good faith.

(e) No assignment of this Agreement, in whole or in part, shall relieve any Party of the performance of any accrued obligation that such Party may have under this Agreement at the time of such assignment. Any attempted assignment of, or mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or grant of a security interest in or lien against any rights under, this Agreement not in accordance with this Section 20.8 shall be null and void ab initio.

Section 20.9 Affiliates. Each of the Parties shall cause its controlled Affiliates to perform, and hereby guarantees its controlled Affiliates’ performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein. All references to “RemainCo” and “SpinCo” shall include their respective controlled Affiliates unless otherwise expressly set forth herein.

Section 20.10 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 14.1, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties (and, where applicable, their Affiliates) and shall not confer upon Third Parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

Section 20.11 Title and Headings. Titles and headings to sections herein are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 20.12 Exhibits and Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein.

Section 20.13 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 20.14 Force Majeure. No Party (or any Person acting on its behalf) shall have any liability or responsibility for failure to fulfill any obligation (other than a payment obligation) under this Agreement, so long as and to the extent to which the fulfillment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated, hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure. A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of any such event: (a) notify the other applicable Parties of the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure condition and (b) use due diligence to remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement as soon as feasible.

Section 20.15 Interpretation. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

Section 20.16 Bankruptcy.

(a) All rights and licenses granted to RemainCo under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and will otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of the Title 11 of the U.S. Code, as amended from time to time (the “Bankruptcy Code”), a license of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that RemainCo will retain and may fully exercise all of its respective rights and elections as a licensee of intellectual property under the Bankruptcy Code. The Parties further agree and acknowledge that enforcement by RemainCo of any of its respective rights under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code in connection with this Agreement shall not violate the automatic stay of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and waive any right to object on such basis. If any SpinCo Licensor commences a case under the Bankruptcy Code following the Effective Date or otherwise becomes the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code commenced following the Effective Date, voluntarily or involuntarily, in addition to and not in lieu of any other right or remedy RemainCo may have under this Agreement or Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, RemainCo shall have the right to obtain, and such SpinCo Licensor or any trustee for such SpinCo Licensor or its assets shall, at RemainCo’s written request to such SpinCo Licensor, deliver a copy of all embodiments held by such SpinCo Licensor of any Intellectual Property rights licensed to RemainCo under or pursuant to this Agreement, including such embodiments necessary for RemainCo to exercise its rights hereunder. In addition, such SpinCo Licensor shall take all steps reasonably requested by RemainCo to perfect, exercise and enforce its rights hereunder, including filings in the U.S. Copyright Office, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or other similar Governmental Entity, and under the Uniform Commercial Code.

(b) To the extent any license of rights under or pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute a license to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, each SpinCo Licensor hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (i) this Agreement is a material inducement and RemainCo is relying on this Agreement in connection with its business; (ii) this Agreement gives such SpinCo Licensor sufficient control over the quality of the products and services offered by RemainCo under the Licensed Marks; (iii) the transactions contemplated by the SDA and this Agreement have been substantially performed, this Agreement does not contain any material, on-going obligations on RemainCo relevant to the standard governing executor contracts, and therefore, this Agreement is not an executory contract; (iv) such SpinCo Licensor (and any debtor-in-possession or trustee of the business of such SpinCo Licensor) cannot and shall not attempt to reject this Agreement pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any foreign equivalent; and (v) in the event such SpinCo Licensor (or any debtor-in-possession or trustee of the business of such SpinCo Licensor) does seek to reject this Agreement and in the event such relief is granted, (A) such rejection shall be treated merely as breach of the contract and not its avoidance, rescission, or termination, (B) such rejection does not terminate RemainCo’s right to use such license and has no effect upon the contract’s continued existence, (C) RemainCo may elect rights under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code or any foreign equivalent, and (D) RemainCo shall be entitled to seek other equitable treatment relating to such rejection.

Section 20.17 Non-Circumvention. No Party shall structure or enter into any transaction, or take any other action, designed to avoid, or for the purpose of avoiding, the intent of the Parties in entering into this Agreement. To the extent any Party desires to structure or enter into any transaction, or take any other action (in each case, for bona fide tax or other purposes, and which

is not designed or intended to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Agreement), which would have a consequence under this Agreement that is contrary to the intent of the Parties in entering into this Agreement, then the Parties will reasonably cooperate and consider in good faith any amendments to or waivers of this Agreement to cause any such consequences to be consistent with the intended rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement (provided that no Party’s consent to any such amendment or waiver shall be unreasonably withheld). By way of example only, in the event that a Party enters into a transaction where the economic effect of such transaction is that such Party is the Acquired Person, but the transaction structure is such that such Party legally under the terms of this Agreement would be deemed to be the Acquiring Person, then the preceding two sentences of this Section 20.17 would apply to such transaction.
