Licensor may freely transfer this Agreement and its rights or obligations hereunder or the Licensed Marks or Licensed Copyrighted Works, subject only to Licensee’s rights under this Agreement. 9.2 Continuance of Obligations. Any assignment or sublicense of rights of Licensee under this Agreement, even with the prior consent of Licensor, shall not operate to release, limit, impair or suspend any of the obligations of Licensee under this Agreement. 10. WARRANTY DISCLAIMER/INDEMNITY/HOLD HARMLESS. 10.1 Licensee’s Indemnification Obligation.

judgment or settlement) as a result of or relating to (a) Licensee’s use of the Licensed Marks or the Licensed Copyrighted Works, (b) Licensee’s breach of any of the terms of this Agreement, and (c) the activities or omissions of Licensee or any of its stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents and assignees; provided, however, that Licensor shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder to the extent that the Damages being sought were caused by any breach of a representation or warranty of Licensor hereunder or act or omission of Licensor. If in the reasonable good faith judgment of Licensor, the Licensee fails to undertake and continue the defense of any of the foregoing, Licensor shall have the right (but not obligation) to make and continue such defense as it considers appropriate and to settle the underlying matter at the expense of Licensee. Nothing herein shall prevent Licensor from defending, if it so desires in its own discretion, any matter at its own expense through its own counsel, notwithstanding that the defense thereof may have been undertaken by Licensee. 10.2 Warranty. Licensor represents and warrants that it has full right and authority to grant the licenses granted to Licensee hereunder. 10.3 Warranty Disclaimer.

(b) Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Licensee shall not operate its business in any manner which could suggest to the public that such license is still in force, or that any relationship exists between Licensor and Licensee.

MISCELLANEOUS. 15.1 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. If attorneys’ fees or other costs are incurred to secure performance of any obligations hereunder, or to establish damages for the breach thereof or to obtain any other appropriate relief, whether by way of prosecution or defense, the Prevailing Party (as defined below) will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection therewith. A party will be considered the “Prevailing Party” if: (a) it initiated the litigation and substantially obtained the relief it sought, either through a judgment or the losing party’s voluntary action before trial or judgment; (b) the other party withdraws its action without substantially obtaining the relief it sought; or (c) it did not initiate the litigation and judgment is entered into for any party, but without substantially granting the relief sought by the initiating party or granting more substantial relief to the non-initiating party with respect to any counterclaim asserted by the non-initiating party in connection with such litigation. 15.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf)) for the convenience of the parties hereto, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. No signature page to this Agreement evidencing a party’s execution hereof

will be deemed to be delivered by such party to any other party hereto until such delivering party has received signature pages from all parties signatory to this Agreement. 15.3 Headings. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 15.4 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, each of which will remain in full force and effect, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in a manner materially adverse to any party. 15.5 Binding Effect. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. 15.6 Entire Agreement.

The recitals to this Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement for all purposes. To the extent of any conflict between this Agreement and the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. 15.7 Construction.

Whenever the plural form of a word is used in this Agreement, that word will include the singular form of that word. Whenever the singular form of a word is used in this Agreement, that word will include the plural form of that word. The term “and” shall also mean “or” and “or” shall also mean “and” as the context permits or requires to provide the broadest meaning or inclusion of the subject. The term “include” or any derivative of such term does not mean that the items following such term are the only types of such items. 15.8 Effect of Licensor Approvals. The parties recognize that the need for the protection of consumers and of the public is of paramount consideration. Accordingly, the parties agree that in no event will any approval granted by Licensor under this Agreement serve to confirm Licensee’s compliance with, or absolve or otherwise release Licensee of its responsibilities to comply with, the provisions of this Agreement, including those relating to Product quality. 15.9 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
