Licensee agrees that, during the Term of this Agreement, it will not enter into any agreement or arrangement with any competitors of Callaway Golf to develop, market, and/or sell footwear products including, without limitation, orthotic products, bearing the marks of Licensee and a competitor without the prior written consent of Callaway Golf.

Article 2. Royalties

2.1 Amount of Royalty. Licensee shall pay, in United States Dollars, royalties to Callaway Golf for all Net Sales (as defined below) of Licensed Products in the amounts set forth in Exhibit E and subject to the provisions of Section 2.2 of this Agreement. No royalties shall be payable to Callaway Golf with respect to any sales

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

and/or shipments to Callaway Golf or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this Agreement, “Net Sales” shall mean Licensee’s gross sales (the gross invoice amount billed customers) of Licensed Products, less any discounts and allowances actually shown on the invoice and further, less any bona fide returns (net of all returns actually made or allowed as supported by credit memoranda actually issued to the customer). No costs incurred in the manufacturing, selling, advertising, and distribution of the Licensed Products shall be deducted nor shall any deduction be allowed for any uncollectible accounts or allowances.

2.2 Minimum Royalties. In order to induce Callaway Golf to enter into this Agreement, Licensee shall pay to Callaway Golf royalties in an amount at least equal to the minimum annual royalties set forth in Exhibit F (the “Minimum Annual Royalties”) for the selling periods listed therein as follows. To the extent the actual royalties paid for a given selling period are less than the Minimum Annual Royalties for such selling period, Licensee shall pay the difference between the Minimum Annual Royalties for such selling period and the actual royalties paid for such selling period. The payment of such difference shall accompany the first royalty payment described below payable following the end of the immediately preceding selling period. The Minimum Annual Royalties are for each selling period as indicated and may not be offset by royalties paid for a prior selling period (if applicable) even if the prior periods actual royalties exceeded the required minimums. Minimum Annual Royalties which exceed the actual royalties for a given period may not be used as an offset against actual or minimum royalties payable for a future selling period (if applicable).

2.3 Payment of Royalties; Related Reports. Royalty Payments hereunder shall be due and payable in four (4) quarterly installments by the dates set forth in Exhibit E with the first installment for each period being made with respect to the first three (3) months of the selling period, the second installment for each period being made with respect to the second three (3) months of the selling period, third installment for each period being made with respect to the third three (3) months of the selling period and the fourth installment for each period being made with respect to the fourth three (3) months of the selling period. Along with each such payment, Licensee shall send to Callaway Golf a report summarizing Net Sales of Licensed Products, listed in units and dollars, and categorized by (i) each Authorized Distribution Channel, (ii) each type of Licensed Product, (iii) giveaways and promotions (with respect to which no royalty shall be payable) and (iv) sales to Callaway Golf during the applicable selling period (with respect to which no royalty is payable). Such report shall also include a detailed computation of the royalty payments (including the MSRP, Net Sales and number of units sold for each category of Licensed Product and the amount of any applicable taxes withheld) due to Callaway Golf for that three-month period. When submitting each royalty payment to Callaway Golf, Licensee shall also provide a report indicating open orders for Licensed Products by month for the next six (6) months.

2.4 Manner of Payment. All payments provided for herein shall be paid to Callaway Golf as directed by Callaway Golf in writing from time to time. At least ten (10) days prior to the payment to Callaway Golf of any amount due under this Agreement,

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

Licensee shall notify Callaway Golf in writing of the amount to be paid and the date of payment. Within seven (7) days of its receipt of such notice, Callaway Golf shall provide Licensee with written instructions as to how payment should be made. If no payment instructions are received from Callaway Golf, then payment shall be made as directed in the most recent payment instruction received from Callaway Golf. Any payments which are not timely remitted as provided for in this Article shall bear interest at the lesser of the announced prime rate of the Xxxxx Fargo Bank, San Francisco, California then in effect plus two percent (2%) or the maximum rate allowed by law, and such interest shall begin to accrue as of the first day when said payment was initially due. Callaway Golf’s acceptance of any payment hereunder shall not affect its right to challenge the amount of such payment.

2.5 Tax Withholding. If Licensee is required by applicable law or treaty (including without limitation the United States-Japan Double Taxation Convention) to withhold income taxes from the payments to be made to Callaway Golf hereunder, it must do so at the lowest rate allowed by such law or treaty. If any such amounts are required to be withheld, Licensee shall promptly effect timely payment thereof to the appropriate governmental authority and shall promptly transmit to Callaway Golf official tax receipts or other official evidence of payment issued by such governmental authority, along with such other information as Callaway Golf shall reasonably request.

2.6 Books and Record and Audit Right. Licensee agrees to keep (and, if applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its authorized subcontractors to keep), maintain and preserve, for the term of this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, complete and accurate books of account and records memorializing all transactions relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, invoices, correspondence, inventory, accounting, banking and financial records (collectively, “Records”). Such Records shall, if applicable, be maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Callaway Golf and its duly authorized representatives shall have the right, after the giving of at least five (5) days advance written notice and at all reasonable hours of the business day, to examine and audit all Licensed Products Records and all other relevant documents and materials in Licensee’s possession or control (or, if applicable, in Licensee’s authorized subcontractors’ control) relating directly or indirectly to its performance under this Agreement, in order to determine its compliance with all of the provisions of this Agreement. In the event the audit discloses an underpayment to Callaway Golf, Licensee (or, if applicable, Licensee’s authorized subcontractors) will forthwith pay Callaway Golf the difference with interest thereon at the rate set forth in Section 2.4 for late payments and such interest shall begin to accrue as of the first day when said underpayment was originally due. Callaway Golf shall pay the fees and costs of any such audit, provided, however, that in the event the audit discloses an underpayment greater than two percent (2%) of the amount of royalty due Callaway Golf for any royalty payment period, the fees and costs of the audit shall be paid by Licensee. In the event the audit discloses an overpayment by Licensee to Callaway Golf, Callaway Golf, at Licensee’s option, shall refund the overpayment or apply it to the

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

next period’s royalty payment, in either case with interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.4 for late payments, beginning at the date the payment was initially received.

2.7 Financial Statements. Within ninety (90) days after the end of each of Licensee’s fiscal years while this Agreement is in effect, and upon the request of Callaway Golf, Licensee shall deliver to Callaway Golf a copy of its financial statements (including a balance sheet, income statement, and such other statements as are reasonably requested by Callaway Golf) prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America and audited by a reputable auditing firm. Further, Licensee shall notify Callaway Golf in writing of any adverse material change in Licensee’s financial condition that will likely affect its performance under this Agreement at the time such material change occurs or when Licensee learns of the possibility of such a change, whichever is sooner. Callaway Golf agrees to treat such financial statements as the Proprietary Information of Licensee (as such term is defined in Article 10 hereof) and shall not disclose such information except as permitted in Article 10 of this Agreement. The foregoing delivery and notification requirements in this Section 2.7 shall be deemed satisfied by Licensee’s timely filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of its Forms 10-Q, 10-K, 8-K or amendments thereof on the SEC’s XXXXX filing system and providing Callaway Golf with copies thereof as and when so requested by Callaway Golf.

2.8 Notice of Change in Control. Licensee shall provide Callaway Golf with at least forty-five (45) days notice (“Change Notice”) prior to consummation of a transaction or completion of an event that would constitute a Change of Control of Licensee. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” means: (a) when a person or entity acquires, after the Effective Date, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership of (i) thirty percent (30%) or more of the then outstanding voting stock of Licensee; or (ii) securities exchangeable or convertible into voting stock of Licensee equal to or greater than thirty percent (30%) of the outstanding voting stock of Licensee based upon the number of shares of voting stock outstanding as of the date of issuance of the exchangeable or convertible securities; (b) when a reorganization, merger, or consolidation of Licensee with any other person or entity results in a change of thirty percent (30%) or more of the direct or indirect beneficial ownership of the then outstanding voting stock of Licensee; (c) upon the sale or other disposition by Licensee of all or substantially all of Licensee’s assets; or (d) when individuals who, as of the Effective Date constitute the board of directors of Licensee cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of Licensee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Callaway Golf acknowledges that Licensee’s securities are publicly traded, and agrees that Licensee shall be deemed to have given Callaway Golf timely Change Notice under this Section 2.8 if Licensee does so within four (4) business days following the earlier of (y) Licensee’s knowledge that a Change of Control is likely within forty-five (45) days, or (z) the filing by any person or entity with the SEC on the XXXXX filing system of consummation of a transaction or completion of an event (or intent to consummate a transaction or complete an event) that would constitute a Change of Control of Licensee.

Article 3. Product Development and Quality Control

3.1 Licensee Acknowledgement. Licensee acknowledges that Callaway Golf has made a substantial investment in developing golf products with high quality and design and in developing and fostering an image and reputation of high quality, design, prestige and integrity under the Licensed Trademarks, and that the consuming public and industry now associate the Licensed Trademarks with products of consistently high quality and design. It is intended by the parties that the Licensed Products will be a high quality line of goods consistent with the existing reputation of Callaway Golf. Licensee further acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to assure that all Licensed Products sold under this Agreement consistently conform to high quality and design standards.

3.2 Design Standards. Licensee shall be responsible for the design and sourcing of the Licensed Products. Standards developed by Licensee for the Licensed Products shall be of the highest level and subject to review and approval by Callaway Golf in its discretion. If Licensee elects to perform design and sourcing functions in-house, Licensee shall set up a design space for Callaway Golf separate and apart from the design space for other Licensee products. If Licensee elects to use third-parties for design and sourcing, such third-parties must enter into a Subcontractor Agreement as set forth in Article 9 unless such requirement is waived by Callaway Golf in writing, in each instance. Licensee shall from time to time solicit logo requirements and concepts from Callaway Golf. Callaway Golf shall collaborate with Licensee, at Licensee’s reasonable request, with regard to fabric, color, model and style of the Licensed Products. Licensee shall keep Callaway Golf reasonably informed of its design activities.

3.3 Design Meetings. Callaway Golf and Licensee shall, if requested by Callaway Golf, for each season, have the following formal seasonal product development meetings: 1) Concept Meeting; 2) Design Review Meeting; and 3) Final Adoption Meeting. Licensee shall also collaborate with Callaway Golf by inviting Callaway Golf to participate in other meetings as appropriate and/or as reasonably requested by Callaway Golf from time to time. During each Concept Meeting the parties shall discuss and share line direction and concepts for Licensed Products and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by Callaway Golf. During each Design Review Meeting the parties shall discuss, share and review line art, pricing, rough samples and marketing plans and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by Callaway Golf. Subject to the procedures set forth in Section 3.8, during each Final Adoption Meeting Licensee shall present for written approval by Callaway Golf the final samples, final line plan and final marketing plan for the Licensed Products and Licensee shall take such other actions as are reasonably requested by Callaway Golf. Approvals by Callaway Golf shall be in Callaway Golf’s sole discretion.

3.4 Use of Licensed Trademarks. Each Licensed Product must use one or more of the Licensed Trademarks. Except for the Licensed Trademarks, the Licensed Products may not contain or otherwise use any trademarks, service marks, trade names

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

or trade dress of Licensee or any other person or entity without the prior written consent of Callaway Golf. Any other xxxx proposed for use with the Licensed Products must be submitted to Callaway Golf for its prior review and written approval in its sole discretion. The placement and location of the Licensed Trademarks on the Licensed Products shall be as specified in Exhibit B of this Agreement, which may be amended from time to time upon the mutual agreement of the parties.

3.5 Security Guidelines. As a material term of this Agreement, Licensee agrees that it shall maintain at its various facilities, and shall similarly require that its subcontractors (if applicable) also maintain, (a) adequate security systems and systems for accounting to protect against theft and/or loss of any Callaway Golf tangible or intangible property (including any specifications related thereto) and the Licensed Trademarks (collectively, “Callaway Golf Property”), and (b) adequate security systems and systems for accounting for the Licensed Products, and to protect against theft and/or loss of the Licensed Products. Licensee agrees to promptly implement, at its expense, any adjustments and/or changes to such systems as required by Callaway Golf (“Security Requirements”). During the term of this Agreement and any extended term hereof, Licensee shall also take all necessary measures to prevent theft or loss from Licensee’s facilities of all Licensed Products being manufactured for Callaway Golf (including all component parts thereof), and Callaway Golf Property. Licensee will also take all necessary measures to prevent the unauthorized production of Licensed Products and Callaway Golf Property in Licensee’s facilities (“overruns”) and the entry of such overruns into the marketplace. Licensee also agrees to assist Callaway Golf in its efforts to prevent counterfeiting of the Licensed Products and Callaway Golf Property by immediately reporting to Callaway Golf any information it obtains concerning the counterfeiting of such Licensed Products and Callaway Golf Property, and by cooperating fully in Callaway Golf’s investigations of the counterfeiting of the Licensed Products and/or Callaway Golf Property. Licensee’s failure to implement and to adhere to the provisions of this Section shall be grounds for termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(vi) of this Agreement.

3.6 Security Audit. At Callaway Golf’s request, at any time upon reasonable notice to Licensee, Licensee will allow (and/or require its authorized subcontractors to allow, if applicable), Callaway Golf to inspect and audit Licensee’s (and/or its authorized subcontractors, if applicable) premises, security systems and/or systems for accounting for Licensed Products and Callaway Golf Property and provide written documentation of the systems and their operation to ensure compliance with the Security Requirements. In the event that Callaway Golf finds it necessary to investigate theft or loss of its products or other Callaway Golf property from Licensee, or establish that overruns produced by Licensee are available in the marketplace, Callaway Golf will be entitled to recover from Licensee (e.g. by price reduction, credit, offset, invoice, or otherwise) all their investigative costs, as well as all legal fees required to oversee said investigations, to include attorney fees associated with any civil or criminal litigation that might result. Licensee also agrees that, for each component recovered by Callaway Golf or law enforcement authorities that can be established as either having been stolen from Licensee, or manufactured on Licensee’s premises as “overrun” product, Callaway Golf

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

will be entitled to reimbursement by Licensee at a rate of two (2) times the average wholesale purchase price paid to Licensee by Licensee’s customers in the preceding six (6) month period for the component in question.

3.7 Manufacturing Processes Audit. During the term of this Agreement, Callaway Golf and their duly authorized representatives will have the right during reasonable business hours upon advance written notice to Licensee to inspect and audit the manufacturing processes of Licensee (including, if applicable, the manufacturing processes of Licensee’s subcontractors at both the secondary and tertiary tier level) to ensure that the manufacture of the Licensed Products is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

3.8 Product Approval.

(a) In the development of the Licensed Products, and prior to Licensee sourcing, marketing, manufacturing or distributing any Licensed Product, Licensee shall submit to Callaway Golf for Callaway Golf’s prior written approval and consent, which approval and consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the line art, fabric swatches, labels, hangtags, and sourcing plan for each proposed Licensed Product, including component, logo and color direction (a “Design Submission”). Each Design Submission submitted shall show how the Licensed Trademark will be applied and how it will look. Each such Design Submission shall include a written transmittal conspicuously including the statement “FAILURE TO EXPRESSLY DISAPPROVE OF THE ENCLOSED DESIGN SUBMISSION WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS SHALL RESULT IN A DEEMED APPROVAL OF THIS DESIGN SUBMISSION.” Callaway Golf shall have fifteen (15) calendar days following its receipt of a new Design Submission within which to approve or disapprove in its sole and absolute discretion such Design Submission, including without limitation the form and appearance of the Licensed Trademarks on the proposed Licensed Product. If Licensee does not receive written approval from Callaway Golf within such fifteen-day period, such Design Submission shall be deemed to be approved, provided a representative of the Callaway Golf Licensing Department has acknowledged in writing (including e-mail) the receipt of such Design Submission.

(b) If a Design Submission is approved, then prior to sourcing, marketing, manufacturing or distributing the Licensed Product, Licensee shall submit to Callaway Golf for Callaway Golf’s prior written approval and consent, which approval and consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, a production sample of each Licensed Product which must conform to the Design Submission approved by Callaway Golf (an “Exhibition Display Sample”). Each Exhibition Display Sample submitted must include the applicable Licensed Trademark. Each such Exhibition Display Sample shall include a written transmittal conspicuously including the statement “FAILURE TO EXPRESSLY DISAPPROVE OF THE ENCLOSED EXHIBITION DISPLAY SAMPLE WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS SHALL RESULT IN A DEEMED APPROVAL OF THIS EXHIBITION DISPLAY SAMPLE.” Callaway Golf shall have ten (10) calendar days following its receipt of a new Exhibition Display Sample within which to approve or disapprove in its sole and absolute discretion such Exhibition Display Sample, including without limitation

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

the form and appearance of the Licensed Trademarks. If Licensee does not receive written approval from Callaway Golf within such ten-day period, such Exhibition Display Sample shall be deemed to be approved.

3.9 Manufacturing Standards. Licensee represents and warrants that the Licensed Products shall conform in all material respects to the specifications, data, samples and/or other information furnished to Callaway Golf and, without limiting the foregoing, that the Licensed Products shall be merchantable, of good material and workmanship, and free from any material defects. Licensee shall not sell any Licensed Product bearing a Licensed Trademark that materially differs from the sample previously approved by Callaway Golf without obtaining Callaway Golf’s prior written approval. Licensee further warrants and represents that it will under all circumstances, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its suppliers or subcontractors to: (i) comply with all applicable laws, including labor and employment laws and industry standards in the countries where Licensee does business, including, but not limited to, compliance with all laws and industry standards regarding minimum wage, overtime, workplace safety, maximum hours and benefits, and will use fair employment practices as defined by such applicable laws and industry standards; (ii) provide at least one (1) day off in every seven (7) day period, except as required from time to time to meet urgent business needs; (iii) not hire any employee under the age of fourteen, under the age interfering with compulsory schooling, or under the minimum age established by law, whichever is greater; (iv) provide employees with a safe, healthy and humane workplace, free of harassment; (v) provide safe and healthy housing, when residential housing is provided to employees; (vi) employ persons whose presence is voluntary and not use prison labor or forced labor (indentured, bonded or otherwise), or corporal punishment or other forms of mental or physical coercion as a form of discipline of employees; (vii) recognize and respect the right of employees to exercise their lawful rights of collective bargaining and free association, including whether or not to join a given association; (viii) not discriminate in hiring, paying, promoting, or terminating employees on grounds of race, religion, national origin, political affiliation, sexual preference, disability or gender, and instead hire, pay, promote, and terminate employees on the basis of their ability to do the job; (ix) comply with all applicable environmental laws, rules, regulations, and standards applicable to Licensee’s operations, and observe environmentally conscious practices in all locations where it operates; (x) cooperate with local, national and foreign customs authorities and drug enforcement agencies to guard against illegal shipments of drugs; and (xi) comply with customs laws and in particular, establish and maintain programs regarding illegal transshipment of the Licensed Products.

3.10 Quality Inspections. Callaway Golf shall have the right at any time, upon five (5) days advance notice in the case of Licensee, and upon whatever terms are set forth in any Callaway Golf approved Subcontractor Agreement (hereafter defined) in the case of Licensee’s suppliers or subcontractors, or upon reasonable advance notice, not

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

to exceed thirty (30) days, in the event the requirement of a Subcontractor Agreement has been waived by Callaway Golf in writing for a particular supplier or subcontractor, to conduct during regular business hours an examination, at Licensee’s facilities or the facilities of Licensee’s suppliers or subcontractors, of the Licensed Products and the records and facilities at or from which the same are designed, manufactured, stored or distributed to determine whether the Licensed Products conform in all material respects to the Licensed Products approved by Callaway Golf and to confirm Licensee’s, compliance with the terms of this Agreement and its suppliers’ and subcontractors’ compliance with the terms of any written Subcontractor Agreement.

3.11 Non-Conforming Products. If at any time during the term of this Agreement the Licensed Products fail to conform in any material respect to the standards of quality in materials, design, workmanship, use, advertising, and promotion approved by Callaway Golf, then Callaway Golf or its authorized representative shall so notify Licensee in writing, specifying the nature of the quality problems. Upon such notification Licensee shall promptly cease to use the Licensed Trademarks on such nonconforming Licensed Products and shall not sell such nonconforming products until the standards of quality have been met to the reasonable satisfaction of Callaway Golf.

Unless otherwise directed in writing by Callaway Golf, Licensee shall destroy all Licensed Products which are not to be delivered in the normal course of business for any reason, including, without limitation, manufacturing overruns, and rejected products or components, as well as any Licensed Products that are returned to Licensee for any reason and are not to be re-worked and redelivered in the normal course of business. The destruction shall be by cutting and shredding so that parts are unrecognizable as Licensed Products or product components.

3.12 Intellectual Property Infringement Warranty. Other than intellectual property rights with respect to the Licensed Trademarks, Licensee represents and warrants that no intellectual property rights (including without limitation patents, trade secrets, trade dress, trademarks and copyrights) or other rights of any third-party are infringed by the design, manufacture, shipment, importation, sale or use of any Licensed Product. Except as expressly permitted by the provisions of Section 4.2 below, Licensee further represents and warrants that it does not design, prototype, manufacture or sell any products for itself or any other person which are competitive with or confusingly similar to the Licensed Products or any enhancements or improvements thereto, or any products which infringe on any patents, trade secrets, trademarks, trade names or trade dress rights of Callaway Golf or its subsidiaries.

3.13 Product Clearance. Licensee shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for intellectual property clearance of each Licensed Product (excluding the Licensed Trademarks) to confirm non-infringement of third-party intellectual property rights.

Article 4. Merchandising and Distribution

4.1 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Beginning on the Effective Date and continuing for the remainder of the term of this Agreement, Licensee shall exercise its best efforts to market, promote and sell the Licensed Products in the Territory within the Authorized Distribution Channels in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Licensee shall not sell or distribute the Licensed Products or use the Licensed Trademarks for purposes of advertising, marketing or promotion outside the Territory. Callaway Golf acknowledges and agrees that Licensee may source the Licensed Products outside of the Territory for sale within the Territory.

4.2 Sole Brand. The Licensed Products bearing the Licensed Trademarks shall be Licensee’s sole brand for golf and golf lifestyle inspired products including without limitation the types of goods set forth on Exhibit C (collectively, “Golf-Related Products”) designed, sourced, manufactured, advertised, promoted, distributed or sold by Licensee in the Territory.

In no event may Licensee sell the Licensed Products as “loss leaders,” or otherwise use the Licensed Products, to promote the sale of Licensee or other third-party products. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Callaway Golf will not unreasonably withhold its approval or consent to Licensee’s distribution or sale of men’s apparel under the Sport Xxxxx brand utilizing only the Sport Xxxxx trademark and such other model or style names that are not in any way confusingly similar to the Licensed Trademarks or other trademarks used by Callaway Golf, but only if Callaway Golf, in its reasonable judgment, determines that such men’s apparel under the Sport Xxxxx brand will not materially compete with the Licensed Products nor materially impair Licensee’s ability to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement including, without limitation, its ability to achieve sales levels for the Licensed Products necessary to produce royalties exceeding one hundred percent (100%) of the Minimum Annual Royalties in any one (1) year.

4.3 Personnel.

4.4 Closeouts.

(a) Licensee shall not sell any Licensed Products as closeouts until the season for which the Licensed Products were intended has ended without the express written consent of Callaway Golf. The parties acknowledge that each season lasts

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

approximately six (6) months from the date a Licensed Product is first shipped into any of the Authorized Distribution Channels.

(b) Any excess inventory of Licensed Products existing after the close of the season for which the Licensed Products were intended has ended may only be sold through the Authorized Distribution Channels unless approved by Callaway Golf in advance in its sole discretion.

(c) Callaway Golf and Licensee agree that Licensee shall pay a reduced royalty rate on Closeout sales.

During the Term (as defined below) of this Agreement, and at all times thereafter, Licensee shall not use any name, logo or design identified with, identical to, confusingly similar to, deceptive or misleading with respect to, or which makes reference to, in any manner whatsoever, the Licensed Trademarks or any one of them, except to the extent permitted by this Agreement or specifically approved by Callaway Golf in writing in its sole and absolute discretion. This section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

6.2 No Registration. Licensee further agrees not to directly or indirectly, through itself or third parties, register the Licensed Trademarks in any country, or register any name or xxxx resembling, confusingly similar to, deceptive or misleading with respect to the Licensed Trademarks. If any application for registration is or has been filed in any country by Licensee that relates to any name or xxxx which resembles, is confusingly similar to, deceptive or misleading with respect to the Licensed Trademarks, Licensee shall immediately abandon any such application or registration or, at Callaway Golf’s sole and absolute discretion, assign it to Callaway Golf.

Any such proceedings (including out-of-pocket disbursements of Licensee) shall be at the expense of Callaway Golf, and any recoveries shall belong to Callaway Golf. Except for Callaway Golf’s

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

indemnification obligations pursuant to Article 7 of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement or otherwise shall be deemed to require Callaway Golf (or to permit Licensee) to enforce or defend the Licensed Trademarks against others.

6.5 Compliance with Law. In the performance of this Agreement, Licensee shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those laws and regulations particularly pertaining to the proper use and designation of the Licensed Trademarks in the Territory.

Callaway Golf may, at its option, waive the performance of such inconsistent provisions or make such modifications to this Agreement as may be required to comply with any applicable laws or regulations.

6.6 Media. Other than to authorized subcontractors, Licensee shall not transfer any Licensed Trademarks by way of any medium to any other party.

As of the Effective Date, Callaway Golf is not aware of any such conflicts in any part of the Territory.

7.2 Infringement by Use of Licensed Trademarks. In the event that Licensee learns that any third party alleges or claims that use of the Licensed Trademarks on or in connection with the Licensed Products is likely to cause deception or confusion to the public, or is likely to dilute or infringe any intellectual property right of any third party, Licensee shall promptly notify Callaway Golf or its authorized representative in writing giving the particulars thereof and Licensee shall provide all available information (and any information not readily available which may be compiled without unreasonable burden or expense) and assistance to Callaway Golf or its authorized representative. Callaway Golf in its sole and absolute discretion shall have the right to control, defend and settle any claims or actions based on use of the Licensed Trademarks. The costs of any such defense shall be at the expense of Callaway Golf.

7.3 Licensee’s Obligations. Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold Callaway Golf harmless from and against any Losses resulting from or arising out of third party claims relating to the design, manufacture, shipment, importation, sale or use of the Licensed Products (including intellectual property infringement, strict liability and breach of warranty claims), or third party claims relating to the negligence, product liability, breach of warranty or willful misconduct by Licensee or its employees, suppliers, subcontractors, independent contractors or agents, including but not limited to Losses arising out of third party claims relating to the development, manufacture, advertising, marketing, distribution, sale or handling of the Licensed Products or any improper or unauthorized use of the Licensed Trademarks.

7.4 Other Infringement. In the event that Licensee learns that any third party alleges or claims that the design, manufacture, shipment, importation, sale or use of any Licensed Product infringes any intellectual property or other right of any third party for reasons other than use of the Licensed Trademarks (an “Infringement Claim”), Licensee shall promptly notify Callaway Golf or its authorized representative in writing giving particulars thereof and Licensee shall provide all available information (and any information not readily available which may be compiled without unreasonable burden or expense) and assistance to Callaway Golf or its authorized representative.

(a) If such Infringement Claim identifies or names Callaway Golf as an infringer or defendant, then Callaway Golf in its sole and absolute discretion shall have the right to control (including without limitation the selection and direction of counsel), defend and settle any such Infringement Claim.

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

(b) If such Infringement Claim does not identify or name Callaway Golf as an infringer or defendant, and Callaway Golf, in its discretion, believes an adverse decision on such Infringement Claim may have a legal effect on Callaway Golf (e.g., collateral estoppel, res judicata, etc.), then Callaway Golf in its sole and absolute discretion shall have the right to control (including without limitation the selection and direction of counsel), defend and settle any such Infringement Claim.

(c) If such Infringement Claim does not identify or name Callaway Golf as an infringer or defendant, and Callaway Golf, in its discretion, believes an adverse decision on such Infringement Claim will not have a legal effect on Callaway Golf (e.g., collateral estoppel, res judicata, etc.), then Licensee shall have the obligation to use its best efforts to defend and settle any such Infringement Claim. Any settlement shall require the prior written approval of Callaway Golf, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) The costs of any defense or settlement of any Infringement Claim, including those controlled by Callaway Golf, shall be the sole responsibility of Licensee.

7.5 Requirements for Indemnification. It shall be a requirement that any party seeking indemnification (“Indemnitee”) from the other (“Indemnitor”) pursuant to this Article 7 must: (i) promptly inform the Indemnitor in writing of the details of such claim; (ii) reasonably cooperate with Indemnitor with respect to defense and/or settlement of such claim; (iii) relinquish control of defense and/or settlement of such claim to Indemnitor; and (iv) not engage in any negotiations to or enter into any settlement of such claim without the consent of Indemnitor.

7.6. Insurance. Licensee agrees that, throughout the Term and for not less than three (3) years following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, it will maintain comprehensive general liability insurance, including blanket contractual liability and personal injury liability, and insurance against claims based upon products liability for the Licensed Products and against other claims covered by the indemnification provisions of this Article 7, in an amount of not less than Two Million U.S. Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit. Such insurance will be written on an occurrence policy form with an insurance company with a current Best rating of A, XII or better. Licensee will cause its insurance policies to be in force from and after the Effective Date and endorsed to include Callaway Golf and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents as additional insureds thereunder. Such endorsement will stipulate that the required coverages will not be reduced or canceled without thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to Callaway Golf. Such endorsement will also stipulate that it is the primary coverage and any other insurance in force for the additional insureds will act as excess coverage only and will not be required to contribute in the payment of any claim made thereunder to the extent of the limits of liability afforded by Licensee’s insurance. Evidence of such coverage will be supplied to Callaway Golf within thirty (30) calendar days following the Effective Date and during the same time period of every year thereafter during the Term. If Licensee fails to comply with any insurance requirement, and such failure continues for a period of thirty

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

(30) days following Callaway Golf’s written notice to Licensee, Callaway Golf at its election may immediately terminate this Agreement without further notice, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary. In the event Callaway Golf at any time believes Licensee’s existing insurance coverage does not provide adequate protection, Callaway Golf may, in its sole but reasonable discretion, require Licensee to increase the amount of required coverage to a level deemed adequate by Callaway Golf.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement contain the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements or understandings between the parties with respect to its subject matter including, without limitation, the May 3, 2001 license agreement between Spalding Sports Worldwide, Inc. and Licensee, as amended; provided, however, that this Agreement does not supersede or affect the effectiveness of that certain letter agreement between Callaway Golf and Licensee, dated January 11, 2008 and signed by Licensee on March 27, 2008, concerning the termination of Licensee’s rights to the TOP-FLITE® trademark. This Agreement may not be released, discharged, abandoned, changed or modified in any manner except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties.

(b) This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of California (U.S.A.) and the United States of America, without regard to choice of law principles.

Except with regard to the Licensed Trademarks, Licensee, at its expense, shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining all licenses, permits and approvals which are required by all appropriate governmental authorities in connection with this Agreement and the distribution of the Licensed Products in the Territory. Licensee shall furnish to Callaway Golf written evidence from such governmental authorities of any such licenses, permits, clearances, authorizations, approvals, registration or recording.

11.5 Only Licensing Relationship. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute either party as a partner, employee or general agent of the other party nor shall either party have any authority to bind the other except as expressly provided for herein. The parties shall remain independent contractors. The officers, agents and employees of one party shall not be considered agents or employees of the other. Neither party has any power or authority to make any statement or representation or to incur any debt, obligation or liability on behalf of the other party, and each party agrees not to hold itself out or permit others to hold themselves out as having such authority.

11.6 Assignability. Neither party may assign, encumber or in any way transfer or delegate any interest, right or duty under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other, which consent may be withheld for any reason or no reason except that Callaway Golf may assign this Agreement without Licensee’s consent to any direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate to which it assigns the Licensed Trademarks or to any other entity that purchases all or substantially all of the assets of that portion of Callaway Golf to which the Licensed Products or the subject matter of this Agreement pertains.

11.7 Binding Nature. This Agreement shall be binding on the heirs, successors, subsidiaries and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

11.8 Waiver. The waiver by either party or the failure by either party to claim a breach or default of any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. Nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.

11.9 Unenforceable Provision. If any provision of this Agreement violates or is unenforceable under any applicable law of any jurisdiction in which activities hereunder are performed, that provision shall be deemed void and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. In lieu of such void provision, there shall automatically be added a substitute valid provision as near to the intent and purpose of the void provision as is possible.

11.10 Attorney’s Fees. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, in any dispute, whether or not litigation is commenced, the prevailing party shall be entitled to its costs and expenses incurred, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement.

11.13 Headings; Exhibits. The headings of the sections are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All Exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated herein. All capitalized defined terms used in the Exhibits but not defined in the Exhibits shall have the meanings defined in this Agreement.

If the performance of any part of this Agreement by either party is prevented, hindered or delayed by reason of any cause beyond the control of such party, which shall include war, mobilization, revolution, civil commotion, riot, strike, lockout, flood, hurricane, act of God or public enemy, restriction or restraint imposed by law, rule, regulation or order by government authority, or interruption of transportation facilities (“Force Majeure Event”), the party affected shall promptly provide notice thereof to the other party and shall be excused from such performance to the extent that it is necessarily prevented, hindered or delayed thereby during the continuance of any such happening or event; provided, however, that the party affected shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

11.15 Dispute Resolution.

(a) The parties desire to resolve disputes arising out of this Agreement without litigation. Accordingly, except for an action seeking a temporary restraining order or injunction related to the purposes of this Agreement, a suit to compel compliance with this dispute resolution process, or the entry and enforcement of any judgment on any arbitration award, the parties agree to meet and negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute arising under this Agreement. The location, format, frequency, duration and conclusion of these discussions shall be left to the discretion of the parties. Except as otherwise provided, the discussions will commence within thirty days after written notice of a dispute from any party.

(b) Except as otherwise provided, if a determination is made by any party that continuation of the negotiation process is not warranted, the dispute shall be submitted to mediation by a mediator in San Diego County pursuant to the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any party may demand such mediation in writing in accordance with the procedures set out in those rules, which shall commence within sixty (60) days of such demand.

(c) Except as otherwise provided, if a determination is made by any party that continuation of the mediation process is not warranted or if all of the matters in dispute are not resolved through mediation, the dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration by an arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties or, if no arbitrator is mutually selected within sixty days of a written demand therefor, then by a retired judge from the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service/Endispute (“JAMS”) office located in San Diego, California, who shall have the powers to hear motions, control discovery, conduct hearings and otherwise do all that is necessary to resolve the matter. The arbitration shall be held in San Diego County. The arbitration award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. It is expressly understood that the parties have chosen arbitration to avoid the burdens, costs and publicity of a court proceeding, and the arbitrator is expected to handle all aspects of the matter, including discovery and any hearings, in such a way as to minimize the expense, time, burden and publicity of the process, while assuring a fair and just result. In particular, the parties expect that the arbitrator will limit discovery by controlling the amount of discovery that may be taken (e.g., the number of depositions or interrogatories) and by restricting the scope of discovery to only those matters clearly relevant to the dispute. It is further understood that any award of punitive damages by the arbitrator would be inconsistent with the commercial purposes of the Agreement and the status of the parties with respect to one another, and therefore neither the arbitrator nor any other tribunal is authorized or empowered to award punitive damages in any proceeding based upon this Agreement or the dealings hereby.

(d) Nothing herein is intended to limit the right of either party to bring an action in the national courts of any country or state to enforce any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property rights under the national laws of such country or state.

FORM OF SUBCONTRACTOR AGREEMENT

SUBCONTRACTOR LIMITED TRADEMARK SUBLICENSE AGREEMENT

This Subcontractor Limited Trademark Sublicense Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of (“Effective Date”), by and between [MANUFACTURER’S FULL LEGAL NAME], a [MANUFACTURER’S STATE OF INCORPORATION] (“Manufacturer”), and [SUBCONTRACTOR’S FULL LEGAL NAME], a [SUPPLIER’S STATE OF INCORPORATION] (“Subcontractor”).

RECITALS

X. Xxxxxxxx Golf Company, a Delaware corporation (“Callaway Golf”) has used and is the owner of the trademarks described in Schedule 1 attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Licensed Trademarks”). Callaway Golf has registered and/or has applied for trademark registration of the Licensed Trademarks in one or more countries throughout the world.

X. Xxxxxxxx Golf has granted Manufacturer a limited, non-exclusive license to use the Licensed Trademarks on certain products.

C. Manufacturer wishes to utilize Subcontractor to manufacture certain of the products in accordance with specifications established by Callaway Golf, and in all cases meeting Callaway Golf’s quality control standards.

D. In connection with such manufacturing, Subcontractor will require the use of the Licensed Trademarks. Manufacturer is willing to sublicense and allow Subcontractor to use the Licensed Trademarks, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the foregoing Recitals, the covenants hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. GRANT OF LICENSE

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Manufacturer hereby grants to Subcontractor a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license and right to apply the Licensed Trademarks to certain products as designated by the Manufacturer as set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Products”) and to sell or otherwise provide the Products bearing the Licensed Trademarks (hereinafter, the “Licensed Products”) solely to Manufacturer. The sale,

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

giveaway, display, exhibition or other transfer of Licensed Products to any party other than Manufacturer, shall be a violation of this Agreement and grounds for immediate termination hereof, as well as entitling Manufacturer and Callaway Golf to pursue any and all available legal and equitable remedies. Except as specifically granted herein, Subcontractor shall have no rights, express or implied, in the Licensed Trademarks or any other patent, trademark, service xxxx, trade dress, design, copyright or other proprietary or intellectual property rights of Callaway Golf.

2. TERM AND TERMINATION

(a) Term. The license granted hereunder shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until the Manufacturer terminates it.

(b) Termination.

(i) Manufacturer may, in its sole discretion, with or without cause, terminate this Agreement and revoke the license hereby granted at any time without incurring any liability to Subcontractor.

(ii) Callaway Golf has the right, at any time in its sole discretion, to require Manufacturer to terminate this Subcontractor Agreement. Subcontractor agrees that upon termination of that certain Manufacturing and Trademark License Agreement between Manufacturer and Callaway Golf for any reason whatsoever, this Agreement (and the license granted the Subcontractor hereby) shall immediately terminate and Callaway Golf shall have no liability to Subcontractor; provided, however, that Callaway Golf shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to elect to continue this Agreement or to enter into a new Subcontractor Agreement directly with Subcontractor.

(c) Survival of Obligations. Upon termination or expiration of the license granted under this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise, all rights (including the right to use the Licensed Trademarks), privileges and obligations arising from this Agreement (except the obligations of Sections 2(c), 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 14, 16(c) and 16(f) of this Agreement) also shall terminate. The obligations set forth in the Sections enumerated above shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

3. NON-COMPETITION

Subcontractor shall not design, prototype, sample, manufacture or sell any products for itself or any other person confusingly similar to the Licensed Products or any enhancements or improvements thereto, or any products which infringe on any patents, trademarks, trade names or trade dress rights of Callaway Golf or its subsidiaries or which incorporate a design that is similar to the Licensed Trademarks.

(d) Security Audit. Subcontractor shall maintain at its various facilities security systems and systems for accounting for Products, to adequately protect the Products and Callaway Golf’s and/or Manufacturer’s tooling or other equipment or property (including the Specifications) and trademarks (collectively referred to herein as “Property”) against loss or theft. At Manufacturer’s and/or Callaway Golf’s request, at any time upon reasonable notice to Subcontractor, Subcontractor will allow for Manufacturer and/or Callaway Golf to inspect and audit Subcontractor’s premises, security systems and/or systems for accounting for Products and Property and provide written documentation of the systems and their operation. Subcontractor agrees to promptly implement, at its expense, any new procedures, adjustments and/or changes to such systems as required by Manufacturer and/or Callaway Golf. Subcontractor’s failure to implement any such new procedures, adjustments and/or changes shall be grounds for termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Agreement.

(e) Prevention of Unauthorized Production and Theft. During the term of this Agreement and any extended term hereof, Subcontractor will take all necessary measures to prevent the theft or loss from Subcontractor’s facilities of all Products being manufactured for Manufacturer (including all component parts thereof), and Property.

Subcontractor also agrees to assist Manufacturer and/or Callaway Golf in their efforts to prevent counterfeiting of Callaway Golf products and Property by immediately reporting to Manufacturer and Callaway Golf any information it obtains concerning the counterfeiting of Callaway Golf products and Property, and by cooperating fully in any investigations by Manufacturer and/or Callaway Golf of the counterfeiting of Callaway Golf products and Property.

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

In the event that Manufacturer and/or Callaway Golf finds it necessary to investigate theft or loss of its products and other Property from Subcontractor, or establishes that overruns produced by Subcontractor are available in the marketplace, Manufacturer and Callaway Golf will be entitled to recover from Subcontractor (e.g. by price reduction, credit, offset, invoice, or otherwise) all its investigative costs, as well as all attorney fees required to oversee said investigations, to include attorney fees associated with any civil or criminal litigation that might result. Subcontractor also agrees that, for each component recovered by Callaway Golf or law enforcement authorities that can be established as either having been stolen from Subcontractor, or manufactured on Subcontractor’s premises as “overrun” product, Callaway Golf will be entitled to reimbursement by Subcontractor at a rate of two times the purchase price normally paid to Subcontractor by Callaway Golf for the component in question.

(f) Manufacturing Processes Audit. During the term of this Agreement, Manufacturer and/or Callaway Golf and their duly authorized representatives will have the right during reasonable business hours upon advance written notice to Subcontractor to inspect and audit the manufacturing processes of Subcontractor to ensure that the manufacture of the Products is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Subcontractor Conduct. Subcontractor agrees that it will under all circumstances: (i) comply with all applicable laws, including labor and employment laws and industry standards in the countries Subcontractor does business, including, but not limited to, compliance with all laws and industry standards regulating minimum wage, overtime, workplace safety, maximum hours and benefits, and will use fair employment practices as defined by such applicable laws and industry standards; (ii) provide at least one day off in every seven (7) day period, except as required from time to time to meet urgent business needs; (iii) not hire any employee under the age of fourteen (14), under the age interfering with compulsory schooling, or under the minimum age established by law, whichever is greater; (iv) provide employees with a safe, healthy and humane workplace, free of harassment; (v) provide safe and healthy housing, when residential housing is provided to employees; (vi) employ persons whose presence is voluntary and not use prison labor or forced labor, indentured bonded or otherwise, or corporal punishment or other forms of mental or physical coercion as a form of discipline of employees; (vii) recognize and respect the right of employees to exercise their lawful rights of collective bargaining and free association, including whether or not to join a given association; (viii) not discriminate in hiring, paying, promoting or terminating employees on grounds of race, religion, national origin, political affiliation, sexual preference, disability or gender, and instead hire, pay, promote and terminate employees on the basis of their ability to do the job; (ix) comply with all applicable environmental laws, rules, regulations and standard applicable to Subcontractor’s operations, and observe environmentally conscious practices in all locations where they operate; (x) cooperate with local, national and foreign customs authorities and drug enforcement agencies to guard against illegal shipment of drugs; and (xi) comply with customs laws and in particular, establish and maintain programs regarding illegal transshipment of Products.

Subcontractor shall apply the Licensed Trademarks only to Products which have been manufactured in accordance with the directions, specifications and quality control standards in materials, design and workmanship specifically approved by Callaway Golf, in its sole discretion.

(b) Samples.

7. PROTECTION OF LICENSED RIGHTS

(a) Ownership of Rights. Subcontractor acknowledges that Callaway Golf is the owner of the Licensed Trademarks and the goodwill attaching to the Licensed Trademarks. Subcontractor also agrees that any and all rights that may be acquired by the use of the Licensed Trademarks by Subcontractor shall inure to the sole benefit of Callaway Golf.

For purposes of this Agreement, a “secure location” shall include, but not be limited to: (i) for items in tangible format, such as on paper or floppy disk, a “secure location” would be a locked room or file cabinet accessible only to a limited number of Subcontractor’s employees on a strict “need to know” basis; and (ii) for items stored in electronic format, such as on hard disk or other electronically-recorded files, a “secure location” would be on a personal computer in a locked room or other secure area accessible only to a limited number of Subcontractor’s employees on a strict “need to know” basis, who could access the information only after inputting the appropriate password to unlock the file in question.

(iv) The Licensed Trademarks shall be used as shown in Callaway Golf’s Style Guide. Subcontractor shall not manipulate or otherwise change the Licensed Trademarks in any way.

(v) Callaway Golf may, at any time, in its discretion, request the destruction of any and all media in Subcontractor’s possession which bears or otherwise contains the Licensed Trademarks. If so requested, Subcontractor shall provide Callaway Golf with a certificate signed by an officer of Subcontractor confirming such destruction.

(d) No Registration. Subcontractor further agrees not to register the Licensed Trademarks or any name or xxxx resembling or confusingly similar to the Licensed Trademarks in any state or country. If any application for registration is or has been filed in any state or country by Subcontractor which relates to any name or xxxx which, in the sole opinion of Callaway Golf, is confusingly similar, deceptive or misleading with respect to the Licensed Trademarks, Subcontractor shall immediately abandon any such application or registration or, at Callaway Golf’s sole discretion, assign it to Callaway Golf. Subcontractor shall reimburse Callaway Golf for all costs and expenses of any opposition, cancellation or related legal proceedings, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Callaway Golf or its authorized representative in connection with any such registration or application.

(f) Infringement. In the event that Subcontractor learns of any infringement, threatened infringement or illegal use of the Licensed Trademarks, or that any third party alleges or claims that the Licensed Trademarks are liable to cause deception or confusion to the public, or that the Licensed Trademarks are liable to dilute or infringe any right of any third party, Subcontractor shall immediately notify Callaway Golf giving the particulars thereof. In the event that Callaway Golf decides in its sole discretion that proceedings should be commenced or defended, Subcontractor shall provide necessary information and assistance to Callaway Golf or its authorized representative, including, but not limited to, access to all of Subcontractor’s records, files and other information regarding the purchase, manufacture, distribution, and sale of the Licensed Products or the use of the Licensed Trademarks. Any such proceedings shall be at the expense of Callaway Golf, and any recoveries shall belong to Callaway Golf. Nothing herein, however, shall be deemed to require Callaway Golf, or to permit Subcontractor, to enforce the Licensed Trademarks against others. Subcontractor shall not take any action to prevent infringements, imitations or illegal uses of the Licensed Trademarks without the prior written consent of Callaway Golf.

8. CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION

(a) Non-Disclosure. Subcontractor agrees that any Proprietary Information (as hereinafter defined) which Subcontractor receives as a result of this Agreement or otherwise shall not be divulged or disclosed to any other party without the prior express written consent of Callaway Golf. In addition, Subcontractor shall hold in confidence any Proprietary Information and agrees to use Proprietary Information only during the term of this Agreement in a manner consistent with the purposes of this Agreement. In the event Subcontractor believes that it is legally required to disclose any Proprietary Information, Subcontractor shall give reasonable notice to Callaway Golf prior to disclosure to a third party and shall take such legally permissible steps as are reasonably necessary to protect the Proprietary Information, including, but not limited to, seeking orders from a court of competent jurisdiction preventing disclosure or limiting disclosure thereof. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Subcontractor shall promptly return to Callaway Golf, or, with Callaway Golf’s prior written consent, shall destroy all written (including that which is contained on computers) Proprietary Information in its possession, custody or control, regardless of the source of such information or material.

(b) Proprietary Information. “Proprietary Information” shall mean information, whether written, oral, or in computer/machine readable form, not generally available to the public relating to the Licensed Trademarks, Licensed Products, or products or business of Callaway Golf or its subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing,

*** CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED ***

it includes the concepts and ideas involved in the products designed and manufactured by Callaway Golf or its subsidiaries or upgrades of such products, whether patentable or not, and includes, but is not limited to, all designs, processes, formulas, manuals and techniques disclosed by Callaway Golf or Manufacturer to Subcontractor or observed by Subcontractor, whether or not related to the Licensed Products.

9. AGREEMENT PERSONAL

Except for Callaway Golf which is a third party beneficiary hereunder, the benefit of this Agreement shall be personal to Subcontractor who shall not subcontract, transfer or assign the same or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, nor grant or purport to grant any sublicense with respect to the Licensed Trademarks (and any purported subcontract, transfer or assignment shall automatically be null and void). Subcontractor shall conduct all manufacturing, packaging and storage of the Licensed Products at its facilities and shall not contract with any other person or entity to manufacture, package or store the Licensed Products.

10. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

Subcontractor acknowledges that the Proprietary Information has been developed or obtained by the investment of significant time, effort and expense and provides Callaway Golf with a significant competitive advantage in its business. Moreover, Subcontractor acknowledges that the Licensed Trademarks represent the goodwill of Callaway Golf. If Subcontractor: (a) fails to comply with any of the confidentiality obligations hereunder, or (b) fails to comply with any of the provisions contained in this Agreement pertaining to the use or restrictions on use of the Licensed Trademarks, Subcontractor agrees that in either event Callaway Golf will suffer immediate, irreparable harm for which monetary damages will provide inadequate compensation. Accordingly, Subcontractor agrees that Callaway Golf will be entitled, in addition to any other remedies available to it, at law or in equity, to immediate injunctive relief to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement.
