d. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Licensee is not permitted to use TYCO standing alone where “TYCO” would:

ii.

Be followed in proximity in the same sentence or phrase by ELECTRONIC(S) or ELECTRICAL or ELECTRIC(S) unless there is a business descriptor in between (for example, use of “Tyco uses electronic panels” is not permissible, but “Tyco control systems use electronic panels” is permissible).

f. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Licensee is not permitted to use the Licensed Marks in connection with any Excluded Fields of Use.

4. Term.

a. Except as set forth in Section 4(b) below, the “Term” of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of two (2) years, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 below. Throughout the Term, Licensee will diligently work to secure any known legal, governmental and regulatory approval requirements needed to cease all use of the Licensed Marks by the end of the Term.

ii.

Any failure to materially comply with the obligations under Section 8 (Quality Control).

If Licensor becomes subject to a Material Action, Licensee may, in its sole discretion terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Licensor of its intent to terminate.

b. No Termination for non-Material Breach. In that one objective of this License is to expeditiously but without undue expense or loss of revenue to Licensee end the use of the Licensed Marks in the Licensed Fields of Use by the end of the Term, without limiting the Parties’ rights under Section 12(f), only the events identified in Section 5(a) shall be grounds for Licensor to terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Term.

make commercially reasonable efforts to correct such non-Material Breach within sixty (60) days of receiving written notice from Licensor under Section 12(k), setting forth a reasonable description of the asserted breach. The Parties agree that the mutual covenants and considerations of this Agreement shall not prejudice the Parties’ respective rights to recover damages for any Material Breach of this Agreement.

c. Effect of Expiration or Termination.

b. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns.

c. Recordal of Licenses. Licensee shall be entitled to record (i) a “short form” of this Agreement or a form of this Agreement redacting Confidential Information (for clarity, all information listed on the Schedules hereto shall be considered Confidential Information and, unless otherwise agreed, shall not be filed in connection with such short form or redacted agreement, except as redacted to list only the relevant Licensed Marks listed on Schedule A as necessary for each recordal), but not this Agreement in its entirety, in those jurisdictions requiring such a recordal; and/or (ii) enter Licensee as a registered or authorized user of the Licensed Marks in those jurisdictions requiring such a recordal.

d. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

e. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (a) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, or (b) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “New York Courts”), for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or relating this Agreement and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the enforcement of any award issued thereunder.

h. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. The Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

a. For Material Breach. Licensor may terminate this Agreement in the event Licensee or its Affiliate materially breaches this Agreement and fails to reasonably cure said material breach within sixty (60) days of receiving written notice from Licensor under Section 12(k), setting forth a reasonable description of the asserted material breach.

d. No Goodwill Redundancy upon Termination.

Any and all goodwill which accrues or which has accrued as a consequence of the implementation of this Agreement has accrued and shall accrue for the benefit of Licensor. Consequently, upon the proper termination of this Agreement, Licensee and its Affiliates shall not acquire any right not expressly mentioned herein and in particular shall not be entitled to receive from Licensor any kind of compensation, redundancy fee or whatever payment on the basis of any goodwill which might have arisen out of the implementation of this Agreement.

a. This Agreement remains personal to Licensee and its Affiliates and may not be assigned or transferred by Licensee or its Affiliates without Licensor’s prior written consent in its sole discretion, except for any assignments or transfers to any Affiliate(s) of Licensee. For purposes of this Section 6(a), an assignment shall include a Change of Control, merger, reorganization (in bankruptcy or otherwise), assumption in bankruptcy or equity and asset sale, regardless of whether such transaction is considered an “assignment” under governing law.
