2.1.1 Acquisition shall have, on a worldwide basis, an
exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free right and license to use and commercialize
the Marks (including any Combination Xxxx designated in Schedule A as a "Cycle
Xxxx") only in connection with the Cycling Business; provided, however, that

an Affiliate) who agrees to be bound by the terms of Articles 2 and 3 hereof.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Parties
hereby agrees to take no action that is inconsistent in any material respect
with the respective rights of the Parties granted in this Section 2.1 or that
would cause material dilution of the Marks in violation of this Agreement.
2.2 FUTURE ACTIONS.
2.2.1 The Parties shall not use any Future Marks without the
prior written consent of Licensor (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed). Upon request of a Licensee to use any Future
Xxxx, Licensor shall determine whether such Future Xxxx would likely cause
confusion with, or dilution of, any Xxxx or infringement of an exclusive license
granted in this Agreement. If Licensor determines such use of a Future Xxxx is
not likely to cause confusion or dilution
4
or infringement of an exclusive license granted in this Agreement, Licensor
shall create and own such Future Xxxx and shall apply for registration of such
Future Xxxx in such jurisdictions as are requested by the requesting Licensee,
and the Future Xxxx shall be added as a Xxxx under this Agreement and licensed
accordingly. The requesting Licensee shall perform all functions and execute all
documents necessary to effectuate this Paragraph.
2.2.2 To the extent permitted by law, Licensor shall file in
its name any application necessary to maintain registration of the Marks, the
Future Marks and Domain Names in the United States ("Required Filings") and may
file in its name any application necessary to maintain registration of the
Marks, the Future Marks and Domain Names in any other jurisdiction ("Permitted
Filings"). If Licensor does not make a Required Filing within the earlier of
thirty (30) days of written notice of such failure or within ten (10) days
before any filing deadline established by or binding upon the body with which
the filing is made, Licensor hereby grants Licensees an irrevocable power of
attorney to make such Required Filing in the name of Licensor on Licensor's
behalf for Marks which they are licensed to use under this Agreement. If
Licensor does not make a Permitted Filing that has been requested by a Licensee
within the earlier of thirty (30) days of written request by such Licensee or
within ten (10) days before any filing deadline established by or binding upon
the body with which the filing is made, Licensor hereby grants Licensees an
irrevocable power of attorney to make such filing in the name of Licensor on
Licensor's behalf for Marks which they are licensed to use under this Agreement.
All reasonable expenses for all Required Filings (and all Permitted Filings made
by Licensor) shall be born by Licensor. All reasonable expenses for all
Permitted Filings made by a Licensee shall be born by such Licensee.
2.2.3 At an exclusive Licensee's request, and as permitted by
law and the body with which a filing for a Xxxx covered by an exclusive license
is made, such Licensee shall be added as a party to receive the same notices as
Licensor receives from such filing body in respect of such filings.
2.3 Trademark Notices and Attribution. Acquisition and Nautilus shall
use reasonable efforts to ensure that the products bearing the Marks and any
services with respect to which the Marks are used and any other materials
displaying or incorporating the Marks (E.G., advertising and promotional
materials) shall include symbols and notices that are legally sufficient to give
public notice of each Party's right, title and interest thereto and to preserve
and protect the Marks. Each use of the Marks shall be followed by either the
"(TM)" or "SM" symbol (as applicable), if such use occurs before the Xxxx is
federally registered, or the "(R)" symbol, if such use occurs after a federal
registration (or such similar registrations as used in other jurisdictions)
issues in any jurisdiction. This Section 2.3 only requires use of such symbols
as required to give such notice, and would not, for example, require use of the
symbol every time the Xxxx was used in a document if the symbol was used at
least once in a manner as to provide such notice.
2.4 DOMAIN NAMES.
2.4.1 The Parties acknowledge that the existing world wide web
sites represented by the Domain Names (the "Existing Sites") currently host
content or are intended to host content related to both the Cycling Business and
Fitness Business. The Parties shall cooperate with each other to provide for the
orderly transition of the content related to the Cycling Business that is
contained on the Existing Sites to a web site or sites controlled by Acquisition
and the content related to the Fitness Business that is contained on the
Existing Sites to a web site or sites controlled by Nautilus. Each Party
consents to the other Party's use of the trade dress and other protectable look
and feel that is associated with the Existing Sites. To the extent any of the
Domain Names includes a Combination Xxxx, the Parties agree that right to use
such Domain Names shall be allocated between the Parties in the same manner as
the Combination
5
Marks. By way of example and not of limitation, the Domain Name
"Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx" is a Combination Xxxx and may only be used by Nautilus,
while the Domain Name "Schwinn" which is both a Xxxx and an Existing Site, will
be operated by the Licensor and contain links to websites maintained by Nautilus
and Acquisition relating to the Cycling Business and Fitness business,
respectively.
2.4.2 Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the Existing
Sites shall continue to be owned and maintained by Licensor and serve as a link
to the web sites on which the content referenced in Paragraph 2.4.1 is
transferred or any other web site related to the Cycling Business for
Acquisition and the Fitness Business for Nautilus, as reasonably requested by
the Licensees. Such links may, at the option of the Parties, be transparent to
users.
2.5 RIGHT TO SUBMIT FOR APPROVAL. Each Licensee shall have the right,
but no obligation, to submit any plan of operations, or product or service to
the Licensor and request the Licensor's response as to whether the proposed use
by such Licensee of any or all of the Marks in connection with such plan of
operations, product, or service would be permitted under this Agreement
(including the quality standards and scope of the license granted under this
Agreement). Licensor shall have twenty (20) days to notify the requesting
Licensee of Licensor's approval or disapproval, and in the case of disapproval,
the specific reasons for such disapproval in sufficient detail as to allow the
requesting Licensee to respond to such disapproval and, if it chooses to, modify
the proposed use of the Marks so that it meets the reasons for such disapproval.
If the requesting Licensee disagrees with a disapproval, its exclusive remedy is
to have the matter resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of the
LLC Agreement.
ARTICLE 3
QUALITY STANDARDS
3.1 PRESERVATION OF XXXX VALUES; DISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCTS. The Parties
recognize that the value of the Marks is in part dependent on the quality of
products sold under the Marks and the lines of retail distribution of their
respective products and the manner in which lines of distribution are addressed.
Accordingly, the Parties agree as follows:
3.2 ACQUISITION QUALITY STANDARDS. All of the products and services
sold by Acquisition in connection with the Cycling Business that bear or are
designated by the Marks shall at all times comply in all material respects with
(i) all applicable laws and regulations pertaining to the marketing, rendering
and sale of the products and services connected to the Cycling Business, and
(ii) at least the minimum quality control standards, safety regulations, and
specifications established in the bicycle industry for the particular goods sold
and the particular distribution channels (e.g., higher quality standards for
specialty bicycle shop goods), where the failure to so comply with (ii) would
result in a material loss of value in the Marks. In order to prolong an
association of the Marks with high-end, specialty merchandise, Acquisition
agrees not to deliver Cycling Products that bear or are designated by the Marks
to Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, Toys `R Us, Sears or similar retailers, or to Sam's
Club, Costco, Warehouse Club, or other smaller warehouse-type outlets
(collectively "Restricted Stores") prior to August 1, 2002. From and after
August 1, 2002, there shall be no restriction on Acquisition's ability to
deliver Cycling products to the Restricted Stores.
3.3 NAUTILUS QUALITY STANDARDS. All of the products and services sold
by Nautilus in connection with the Fitness Business that bear or are designated
by the Marks shall at all times comply in
6
all material respects with (i) all applicable laws and regulations pertaining to
the marketing, rendering and sale of the products and services connected to the
Fitness Business, and (ii) at least the minimum quality control standards,
safety regulations, and specifications established in the fitness industry for
the particular goods sold and the particular distribution channels (e.g., higher
quality standards for specialty exercise shop goods), where the failure to so
comply with (ii) would result in a material loss of value in the Marks.
3.4 LICENSOR ACTION. Upon Licensor certifying to a Licensee that
Licensor has reasonable grounds to believe (including the basis for the belief)
that such Licensee is not in compliance with this Article, Licensor shall have
the right, at its expense, to audit such Licensee's quality control standards
and procedures for compliance with this Article upon reasonable prior notice to
such Licensee, but not more than once every twelve (12) months. Upon Licensor's
reasonable written request made not more than once every twelve (12) months,
such Licensee shall provide Licensor with general information as to the types
and extent (but not dollar amount or volume of unit sales of products or
services) of Licensee's uses of the Marks. Licensee will use reasonable efforts
to include in agreements with outside suppliers, contract manufacturers and
sub-licensees a requirement that each comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws. All persons participating in the audit or with access to the
information described in this Section 3.4 shall execute and deliver a
confidentiality agreement containing the terms of Section 8.14 for the benefit
of Licensee. In the event that, in the reasonable opinion of the Licensor,
Licensee's products and services that bear or are designated by the Marks fail
to comply with the quality standards of this Article, Licensor shall give
Licensee written notice setting forth in reasonable detail such failure, and
Licensee shall, at its expense and within thirty (30) days thereafter, begin to
take such corrective action as is necessary to comply with such standards.
Failure to take such corrective action within one hundred and eighty (180) days
or such longer period as is allowed under applicable law shall constitute a
breach of this Agreement. If the Licensee disagrees with Licensor's
determination under this Section 3.4, its exclusive remedy is to have the matter
resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions of the LLC Agreement.
