As between the transferee and the non-transferring party (Group Brands or Global Brands, as applicable), with respect to any Licensed Trade Secrets and Know-How in a Defined Territory in which the transferring party did not achieve a Substantial Presence as of ninety (90) days prior to the effective date of such transfer, the non-transferring party shall be the sole and exclusive owner or licensee, as applicable, and the transferee shall not be granted a license, under such Licensed Trade Secrets and Know-How in any such Defined Territory. Notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, transferee’s rights in and to the Licensed Trade Secrets and Know-How shall be fixed at the time of such transfer, with respect to such Licensed Trade Secrets and Know-How, and transferee shall have no further right to enter into any markets not granted at the time of such transfer.

The transferring party shall not provide a wholesale copy of either Meridian or R&D Suite, or any other information of the other party to which the transferring party does not have rights hereunder, to the transferee absent written consent of the other party.

(e) The restrictions set forth in this Section 4.7 shall not apply in the event that the transferee is the other party to this Agreement (i.e. the transferee is GroceryCo or SnackCo).

Section 4.8 Required License for a Party’s Business. If a party discovers that certain Trade Secrets and Know-How existing as of the Distribution Date that either: (a) are necessary to conduct the business of that party or (b) are necessary to perform that party’s obligations under a Third Party Agreement; and were intended by the parties to be licensed by one party to the other party but were inadvertently listed in the Non-Licensed Trade Secrets and Know-How Schedules, such party shall provide written notice to the other party. The parties shall cooperate in good faith, and, if the parties are reasonably satisfied that the Trade Secrets and Know-How were inadvertently omitted, they shall amend the listings in the Schedules and license the Trade Secrets and Know-How to the other party as applicable and provide the other party with all copies of all applicable documentation required to practice the Trade Secrets and Know-How.

ARTICLE VI

THIRD PARTY AGREEMENTS

Section 6.1 Licensed Intellectual Property Subject to Third Party Rights or Agreements. Each party acknowledges the existence of Third Party Agreements and any continuing obligations and restrictions that are set forth in the Third Party Agreements and agrees that it has copies of such Third Party Agreements as it may reasonably require. To the

extent any intellectual property is jointly owned by a party and a third party pursuant to a Third Party Agreement, this Agreement shall not be construed to convey any rights to such intellectual property that is not permissible under such Third Party Agreement. The parties agree to cooperate and to take necessary steps, within their control, to ensure each party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement do not cause a party to be in breach of such Third Party Agreement. The parties further agree to cooperate and to take necessary steps, within their control, and if necessary, to effectuate the assignment or license of Licensed Intellectual Property in the specified territory pursuant to such Third Party Agreements. Except as set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, this Agreement shall not be construed as requiring a party that is not a party post-Separation to a Third Party Agreement to disclose, assign or license new intellectual property to the other party or to a third party under any such Third Party Agreement. Each party further agrees that upon becoming aware of any provision in this Agreement or in a Third Party Agreement entered into prior to the Distribution that was not identified in Schedule 6.1 that would cause a breach of either agreement, to notify the other party. The parties shall reasonably consult and cooperate with each other in connection with any such Third Party Agreement. The parties agree that this Agreement shall not be construed as making any third party a beneficiary under this Agreement.

Section 6.2 Indemnification by Licensee for Third Party Agreements. As between Group Brands and Global Brands and its and their Affiliates and Subsidiaries, the party who is the licensee of Licensed Intellectual Property that is subject to a Third Party Agreement shall indemnify, defend and hold the other party (i.e., licensor) and its and their Affiliates and Subsidiaries and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Liabilities of the Indemnified Parties relating to, arising out of or resulting from any claim that the licensee’s use of the Licensed Intellectual Property is in breach of or otherwise runs afoul of the Third Party Agreement, including as against any claim that the licensee’s use of the Licensed Intellectual Property infringes, misappropriates or otherwise uses the Licensed Intellectual Property in violation of any restrictions set forth in such Third Party Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

DEVELOPMENT, PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE OF

LICENSED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Section 7.1 Derivatives of Licensed Patents. The parties acknowledge that either party may make improvements, modifications or derivatives of the Licensed Patents (“Derivative”). Where a party seeks to file a Patent application on any such Derivative (referred to as a “Derivative Patent Application”), the parties agree as follows:

(a) if a party seeks to file a Derivative Patent Application and such party believes that a claim of priority to a Licensed Patent is required, or if a party believes that such Derivative Patent Application may be rejected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or such other foreign intellectual property office in the subject jurisdiction absent common inventorship and/or ownership by one party of both the Derivative Patent Application and the Licensed Patent, then the following provisions apply:

(i) if the party is the licensee, then that party will provide a full and complete copy of the Derivative Patent Application for filing to the owner. Upon receipt of the

application, the owner shall file or cause to be filed such application in its own name, as applicable or allowable under the law in the relevant jurisdiction, within forty-five (45) days of receipt thereof, or as otherwise mutually agreed upon between the parties. The licensee shall also consult with the owner with respect to the Patent application to the extent the Patent application may affect the validity or scope of the owner’s Licensed Patent(s). The owner’s and licensee’s rights in and to the Derivative Patent application (and any Patent issuing therefrom) shall be the same as their rights to the underlying Licensed Patent and on the same terms and subject to the same restrictions, or

(ii) if the party is the owner, then the owner shall file the Derivative Patent Application in its own name and shall provide a full and complete copy of the Derivative Patent Application to the licensee. The owner’s and licensee’s rights to the Derivative Patent Application (and any Patent issuing therefrom) shall be the same as their rights to the underlying Licensed Patent and on the same terms and subject to the same restrictions.

(b) Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 7.1(a):

(i) the party who conceived of or developed the improvements, modifications or derivatives shall be responsible for the drafting and initial preparation of the Patent application.

(ii) Except with respect to improvements, modifications or derivatives of LCRB and MGC for so long as a party is paying for the licensed rights thereof subject to Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.2(a), respectively, neither party shall be prevented from making any improvements, modifications or derivatives of the Licensed Patents and retaining such Derivatives as a Trade Secret of such developing party. In the event a party maintains a Derivative as a Trade Secret, such party shall be under no obligation to disclose the Derivative to the other Party and shall have no obligation to grant any right or license to the other party hereunder with respect to any such Derivative. Further, a party’s right to maintain a Derivative as such party’s Trade Secret shall not prevent the other party from independently developing and preparing its own Derivatives, including filing a Derivative Patent Application on the same or substantially similar Derivative.

(iii) Except with respect to improvements, modifications or derivatives of LCRB and MGC for so long as a party is paying for the licensed rights thereof subject to Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.2(a), respectively, neither party has any obligation to disclose or provide copies to the other party any other Derivative Patent Applications or any other Patent applications that do not fall within the provisions of Section 5.1, Section 5.2, or Section 7.1(a). In other words, if either party conceives of a Derivative Patent Application wherein the party believes that no claim of priority to a Licensed Patent is necessary and/or believes that the Derivative Patent Application would not be rejected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or such other foreign intellectual property office in the subject jurisdiction based on lack of common inventorship and/or ownership with a Licensed Patent, then such Derivative Application is not subject to the requirements of this Section 7.1(a) and such party shall be under no obligation to disclose the Derivative or any associated Derivative Patent Application to the other party, and the other party has no rights to any Derivative, Derivative Patent Application or Patent issuing therefrom.

(c) The parties agree that copies of any Derivative Patent Applications, including any non-public information regarding any Derivative or Derivative Patent Application, that are exchanged between the parties pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be treated as confidential and shall be used solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and within the scope of the applicable license.

(d) The parties agree to execute any documents with respect to a Derivative Patent Application as may be required by the parties to effectuate the rights and obligations in this Section 7.1.

Section 7.2 Pipeline Invention Disclosures and Patents. Notwithstanding Section 7.1, with respect to Invention Disclosures prepared within six (6) months from the Distribution Date and Patent applications submitted or filed within eighteen (18) months from the Distribution Date, the parties agree as follows:

(a) excluding the Invention Disclosures contained on Schedule 2.1(b) and Schedule 2.1(c), any new Invention Disclosures prepared within the first six (6) months following the Distribution Date that relate to the Key Overlap Business or new Invention Disclosures based upon research and development related to or arising out of each party’s packaging or research groups, each party shall, at its own expense, provide copies of any such Invention Disclosure to the other party’s IP counsel, chief scientific officer and executive in charge of the applicable business unit within thirty (30) days of the initial preparation of such Invention Disclosure. If a Patent application is filed based on such Invention Disclosure, the other party shall be granted a license in and to such Patent application (and any Patent issuing therefrom) and the applicable Patent application shall be classified as a Licensed Patent owned by the filing party with the non-filing party obtaining a license under such Patent application (and any Patent issuing therefrom) subject to and on the same terms and conditions as the party is granted to Licensed Patents within the Key Overlap Business.

(b) Excluding the scheduled Patent applications contained on Schedule 2.1(b) and Schedule 2.1(c), for all Patent applications filed within the first six (6) months following the Distribution Date that relate to the Key Overlap Business or new Patent applications based upon research and development related to or arising out of each party’s packaging or research groups, the party filing the application shall, at its own expense, provide copies of any such Patent application as filed, within thirty (30) days of such filing, together with notice of its filing date and serial number, to the other party’s IP counsel, chief scientific officer and executive in charge of the applicable business unit. The non-filing party shall be granted a license in and to such Patent application (and any Patent issuing therefrom) and the applicable Patent application shall be classified as a Licensed Patent owned by the filing party with the non-filing party obtaining a license under such Patent application (and any Patent issuing therefrom) subject to and on the same terms and conditions as the party is granted to Licensed Patents within the Key Overlap Business.

(c) For Patent applications within the Key Overlap Business filed by either party after the initial six (6) months and up to and through the initial eighteen (18) months following the Distribution Date and for all Patent applications filed by either party that relate to either the Key Overlap Business or Non-Key Overlap Business and including all Patent applications based

upon research and development related to or arising out of each party’s packaging or research groups filed up to and through the initial eighteen (18) months following the Distribution Date, each party shall, at its own expense, provide copies of any such Patent application as filed, within thirty (30) days of such filing, together with notice of its filing date and serial number, to the other party’s IP counsel, chief scientific officer and executive in charge of the applicable business unit. The parties shall then mutually determine whether rights to such Patent application would have been granted to the other party had the Distribution not yet occurred. In the event the parties agree that each party should have received rights in and to the Patent application and any Patent issuing therefrom, the Patent application shall be classified as a Licensed Patent owned by the filing party with the non-filing party obtaining a license under such Patent application (and any Patent issuing therefrom) subject to and on the same terms and conditions as the party is granted to Licensed Patents within the applicable Key Overlap Business and Non-Key Overlap Business.

(d) The parties agree that copies of any Invention Disclosure or Patent application, including any non-public information regarding any Invention Disclosure or Patent application, that are exchanged between the parties pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be treated as confidential.

(e) The parties agree that the party who develops and seeks to file such Derivative Patent Application shall be responsible for the draft and preparation and associated costs of such Derivative Patent Application.

(f) The parties agree to execute any documents as may be required by the parties to effectuate the rights and obligations in this Section 7.2.

Section 7.3 Party’s Abandonment of Licensed Patents.

(a) With respect to Licensed Patents owned by a party or any Invention Disclosure scheduled as a Licensed Patent or disclosed under Section 7.1, if that party decides that it is no longer interested in prosecuting and/or maintaining one or more Licensed Patents at any time, then the owner of the Licensed Patent(s) or the applicable Invention Disclosure shall give written notice to the licensee of such Licensed Patent or Invention Disclosure within three (3) months of a non-extended filing deadline for maintenance fees and annuities or within thirty (30) days of any non-extended deadline related to the prosecution of a Licensed Patent or its decision not to proceed with the preparation of a Patent application with respect to such Invention Disclosure of its intention to cease prosecution and/or maintenance, or not to proceed with an extension of the Licensed Patent and shall permit the licensee, at the licensee’s sole discretion, to either direct the prosecution or maintenance or proceed with the extension under the owner’s name but at licensee’s own costs and expenses, or if and only if the owner elects to abandon the entire Licensed Patent family, the licensee may continue prosecution or maintenance or proceed with the extension at its own costs and expense. If the owner elects to abandon the entire Licensed Patent family, and if the licensee elects to continue the prosecution or maintenance or to proceed with the extension, the owner of the Licensed Patent or the applicable Invention Disclosure shall execute such documents and perform such acts at the licensee’s expense as may be reasonably necessary to effect an assignment of such Licensed Patent or Invention Disclosure (and as applicable other Patents in the same Licensed Patent family) to the licensee in a timely manner, and more generally to permit the licensee to continue

such prosecution and maintenance or to proceed with the extension. Any Patents and Patent applications so assigned shall not be considered Licensed Patents as of the date of such assignment. A party abandoning a Patent or Patent application pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) shall have no right, title and/or interest in and to such abandoned Patents and Patent applications, including any rights to license, exploit or practice (or exclude others from using, practicing or exploiting) in any way any such abandoned Patents and Patent applications.

(b) With respect to Licensed Patents owned by a party, if the non-owning party decides that it is no longer interested in sharing in any costs with the owner with respect to prosecuting and/or maintaining a Licensed Patent, then the licensee of the Licensed Patent shall give notice to the owner of such Licensed Patent within three (3) months of a non-extended filing deadline for maintenance fees and annuities or within thirty (30) days of any non-extended deadline related to the prosecution of a Licensed Patent of its intention to cease sharing in the expense of prosecution and/or maintenance, or with respect to an extension, of any Licensed Patent. In such case the owner may continue, at its discretion, prosecution or maintenance or proceed with the extension at its own costs and expense. Any Patents and Patent applications where the licensee ceases to participate in or share the costs of such prosecution, maintenance or extension shall not be considered Licensed Patents as of the date the licensee ceases to share in the applicable costs and the licensee shall have no right, title or interest in and to such Patents or Patent applications, including any rights to license, exploit or practice (or exclude others from using, practicing or exploiting) in any way any such Patents and Patent applications. Provided, however, that if neither party elects to continue such prosecution, maintenance or extension, or if both decide to abandon the Patent, then neither party may restrict the other from exploiting, practicing or using the applicable abandoned Licensed Patents subject to any other patent rights held by a respective party.

(c) In the event that neither party desires to further prosecute, maintain or extend a Licensed Patent in a particular jurisdiction, then the applicable Licensed Patent shall go abandoned and neither party may restrict the other from exploiting, practicing or using the applicable abandoned Licensed Patents subject to any other patent rights held by a respective party.

Section 7.4 Foreign Prosecution of Licensed Patents. With respect to Licensed Patents where the decision to file in certain foreign jurisdictions has not been determined prior to Separation, the parties shall engage in good faith discussions regarding the filing of patent applications directed to the Licensed Patents in other jurisdictions.

(a) In the event that the owner of the Licensed Patent decides that it is not interested in prosecuting one or more of the Licensed Patents in such foreign jurisdictions, then the owner of the Licensed Patent(s) shall give written notice to the non-owner within thirty (30) days of any non-extended deadline related to the filing deadline for foreign filing of a Licensed Patent and shall permit the non-owner, at the non-owner’s sole discretion, to either direct the prosecution under the owner’s name but at the non-owner’s own costs and expenses. With respect to each such foreign jurisdiction in which the owner elected not to participate or share in the costs of prosecuting the foreign Patent application, such foreign Patents and Patent applications shall not be considered Licensed Patents, solely with respect to the applicable foreign jurisdiction. The owner of the underlying Licensed Patent shall have no right, title and or

interest in and to such foreign Patents and Patent applications, including any rights to license, exploit or practice (or exclude others from using, practicing or exploiting) in any way any such foreign filings, solely with respect to each such jurisdiction in which the owner did not participate and share in the costs of prosecuting the foreign Patent application.

(b) In the event the non-owner decides that it is not interested in prosecuting one or more of the Licensed Patents in such foreign jurisdictions, then such non-owner shall give notice to the owner of such Licensed Patent(s) within thirty (30) days of any non-extended deadline related to the filing deadline for foreign filing of a Licensed Patent. In such case the owner may continue prosecution, at its discretion and at its own costs and expense. With respect to each such foreign jurisdiction in which the non-owner elected not to participate or share in the costs of prosecuting the foreign Patents and Patent applications, such foreign Patents and Patent applications shall not be considered Licensed Patents, solely with respect to the applicable foreign jurisdiction. The non-owner of the underlying Licensed Patents shall have no right, title or interest in and to such foreign Patents or Patent applications, including any rights to license, exploit or practice (or exclude others from using, practicing or exploiting) in any way any such foreign Patents and Patent applications.

(c) If neither party elects to file a Licensed Patent in a foreign jurisdiction, then neither party may restrict the other from exploiting, practicing or using the applicable Licensed Patents, subject to any other patent rights held by a respective party, in each such application foreign jurisdiction in which the parties mutually elected not to file in.

(d) A party’s decision to file or not to file in any particular foreign jurisdiction shall not affect either party’s rights, obligations or limitations otherwise set forth in this Agreement, including with respect to the underlying Licensed Patent.

Section 7.5 Further Assurances. The parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries to, execute and deliver such instruments of assignment, conveyance and transfer and take such other actions as are necessary to memorialize or perfect the assignments provided for in this ARTICLE VII. The parties shall share equally in such costs associated with the filing or recording of assignments in the relevant jurisdictions, provided however that in each case above, the applicable assignee shall be solely responsible for preparing, filing and/or recording any assignment, transfer or change of name documents relating to the Intellectual Property or any other documents necessary to record ownership of the Intellectual Property in the applicable assignee’s name, including the Patent Assignment. The applicable assignee agrees to use reasonable efforts to promptly file with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or such other foreign intellectual property office as applicable, any necessary documents relating to the assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of title and ownership of the Intellectual Property to the assignee.

Section 7.6 Allocation of Patent Prosecution Costs.

(a) Unless specifically provided for in this Agreement or in one of the Ancillary Agreements incident to the Distribution, each party shall be responsible for all prosecution, maintenance and extension costs relating to each party’s own Non-Licensed Patents. For purposes of this Section, prosecution costs associated with a party’s Non-Licensed

Patents shall include costs associated with any interference, opposition, derivation, reexamination, reissue or other proceeding at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or such other foreign intellectual property office.

(b) Subject to each party’s right to abandon Patents under Section 7.3, and subject to Section 7.6(c), with respect to the Licensed Patents, the parties agree that the cost of patent prosecution, maintenance and extensions thereof shall be shared as follows:

(i) During the initial two (2) years after Separation, the party having exclusive rights to the Licensed Patents for the Key Overlap Business in its Defined Territory shall be responsible for all costs of such prosecution, maintenance and extensions of the Patents. After the initial two (2) years from the Distribution Date, each party shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the costs of prosecution, maintenance and extensions of the applicable Licensed Patents.

(ii) Beginning immediately after Distribution, each party shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the costs of prosecution, maintenance and extensions of the Licensed Patents in any Undefined Territory.

(iii) Notwithstanding the above, with respect to any Licensed Patent that a third party has exclusive rights to in a particular country or region, including as provided for in any Third Party Agreement, the party (who either has the contractual relationship with such third party or who otherwise receives compensation from such third party based upon the third party’s exclusive rights to the Licensed Patent) shall be responsible for all costs within such country or region relating to the prosecution, maintenance and extensions of the Licensed Patent during any period in which the third party has exclusive rights.

(c) Regarding the following categories of prosecution costs associated with the Licensed Patents, the parties further agree as follows:

(i) if a third party initiates interference, opposition, derivation, reexamination or other proceeding at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or such other foreign intellectual property office regarding a Licensed Patent, the party with knowledge thereof shall notify the other party within thirty (30) days. The parties shall then engage in good faith to determine a mutually acceptable approach for responding to and managing the conduct of the third party proceeding and the costs associated with such proceeding shall be allocated as provided in Section 7.6(b).

(ii) If a party decides to initiate an interference, opposition, derivation, reexamination, reissue or other proceeding at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or such other foreign intellectual property office regarding a Licensed Patent or any legal proceeding related to the validity of any Licensed Patent in a court of competent jurisdiction, than prior to initiating such proceeding, that party shall notify the other party of its intention and the parties shall engage in good faith to determine a mutually acceptable approach and the costs associated with such proceeding shall be allocated as provided in Section 7.6(b).

ARTICLE VIII

ENFORCEMENT AND LITIGATION OF LICENSED INTELLECTUAL

PROPERTY

Section 8.1 Management of Intellectual Property Claims/Litigation; Allocation of Intellectual Property Litigation Costs.

(a) Claim from Third Party. In the event that a party learns of any claim of or alleged claim from a third party of infringement or threatened infringement of, or related to the Licensed Intellectual Property that the party in good faith believes will impair the rights to the Licensed Intellectual Property, the party with knowledge thereof shall notify the other party within thirty (30) days of such third party claim. The parties shall engage in good faith to determine a mutually acceptable response to the claim. Provided the parties mutually agree to proceed, litigation or management of the third party claim shall be according to Section 8.1(c).

(b) Initiation of Action Against Third Party. In the event that in good faith, a party believes that the actions of a third party may impair the rights of any Licensed Intellectual Property, and such party desires to send a claim letter or initiate legal action against a third party for infringement of the Licensed Intellectual Property, the party seeking to initiate such action shall notify the other party of its intent and shall engage in good faith with the other party to determine whether, and by what means any action against a third party should be instituted. Provided the parties mutually agree to proceed with the third party claim, litigation or management of the third party claim shall be according to Section 8.1(c).

(i) Litigation or Claim in Jurisdiction Impacting Only One Party: Provided the parties mutually agree that one or the other can take action against a third party, if a party seeks to defend against or initiate a claim against a third party that relates to or might impair the use of the Licensed Intellectual Property in a jurisdiction where only the party is present or where only the party has revenues in a Business related to the particular claim, then such party shall be solely responsible for any litigation related activities and costs in such jurisdiction; provided however, that to the extent the other party must be added to any lawsuit for standing purposes and/or the other party’s assistance is needed due to specific expertise or knowledge base, such other party is obliged to consent to being added as a party for standing purposes and/or to provide assistance at the litigating party’s cost. Where only one party is litigating the claim and paying all costs therefore (because the other party is not impacted or because the other party has opted out pursuant to Section 8.1(e)), then all recoveries shall belong exclusively to such litigating party. Moreover, if the only reason a party is involved in the litigation is for standing purposes, then the other party shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of such party.

(ii) Litigation or Claim in Jurisdiction Impacting Neither Party: Provided the parties mutually agree that one or the other can take action against a third party, if a party seeks to defend against or initiate such a claim against a third party that relates to or might impair the use of the Licensed Intellectual Property in a jurisdiction where neither party is present and neither party has revenues in a Business related to the particular claim, then the party

who owns the applicable Licensed Intellectual Property shall manage the litigation in such jurisdiction and both parties shall share equally in the costs of such litigation. To the extent the licensee’s assistance is needed due to specific expertise or knowledge base, licensee shall be obliged to provide assistance and such costs and any recovery shall be shared equally by the parties in such jurisdiction.

(iii) Litigation or Claim in Jurisdiction Impacting Both Parties: Provided the parties mutually agree that one or the other can take action against a third party, if a party seeks to defend against or initiate a claim against a third party that relates to or might impair the use of the Licensed Intellectual Property in a jurisdiction where both parties are present or where both parties have revenues in a Business related to the particular claim, the party with the greatest aggregate revenues in such Business shall manage the litigation in such jurisdiction and the costs of litigation shall be split based upon each party’s pro rata share of net revenues of the Business related to the litigation in such jurisdiction. To extent the non-controlling party must be added to any lawsuit for standing purposes and/or the non-controlling party’s assistance is needed due to specific expertise or knowledge base, such non-controlling party is obliged to consent to being added as a party for standing purposes and/or to provide assistance and such costs and any recovery shall be split based upon each party’s pro rata share of net revenues of the Business related to the litigation in such jurisdiction.

(d) Consents Required. The decision whether to bring, maintain or settle any such claims subject to ARTICLE VIII shall be jointly made. With respect to Licensed Intellectual Property, neither party shall or have a right to initiate any such litigation, opposition, cancellation or related legal proceedings without the consent of the other party.

(e) Opt-Out. Except where necessary for standing purposes, a party that is otherwise obligated to share in the costs associated with initiating a claim or litigation and seeks to withdraw from, or does not want to participate or share in the costs of such litigation related activities, the other party shall control the litigation and be responsible for all costs and expenses thereof. The non-participating party shall not be entitled to any recoveries related to the claim and such recoveries shall belong exclusively to the litigating party. For the purposes of this ARTICLE VIII, a party that would have opted-out of the litigation, but not for the standing requirement, such party shall be considered a non-participating party for purposes of this ARTICLE VIII solely with respect to costs, expenses and recoveries, if any.

(f) Settlement. Neither party shall commit to the settlement of any claim that may negatively impact the non-settling party’s rights subject to the non-settling party’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied.

(g) No Obligation to Police Licensed Intellectual Property. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, neither party is obligated to monitor or police the use of the Licensed Intellectual Property by third parties other than any licenses to the Licensed Intellectual Property granted by a party (or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries) to a third party.
