Algonquin Road, Schaumburg, IL 60196 (Licensor and Licensee each a "Party" and together the "Parties").

WHEREAS, MINC has determined that it would be appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of MINC and MINC's stockholders to separate the Mobile Devices and Home businesses (collectively, the "Transferred Businesses") from MINC;

WHEREAS, in order to effectuate the foregoing, MINC, Motorola SpinCo Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of MINC ("Spinco"), and Motorola Mobility, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MINC ("Mobility"), are entering into a Master Separation and Distribution Agreement ("MSDA Agreement"), which provides, among other things, subject to the terms and conditions thereof for the contribution or transfer of certain assets and liabilities of the Transferred Businesses to Spinco, Mobility and certain of their Subsidiaries and the Distribution, each of the foregoing terms as more specifically defined in the MSDA Agreement (collectively, the "Separation Transactions"), and the execution and delivery of certain other agreements in order to facilitate and provide for the foregoing;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Separation Transactions, MINC is contributing all of its rights, title and interests in, to and under the trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, slogans, designs, trade dress, domain names and other proprietary designations, including but not limited to the trademark applications and registrations therefor set forth on Schedule A hereto, as it may be amended from time to time, and all other applications and registrations therefor, along with all related common law marks and all appurtenant goodwill (collectively, the "Motorola Marks") to Licensor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mobility, except that MINC will have a right to continue to use certain Motorola Marks pursuant to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, upon such contribution, Licensor will own the Motorola Marks;

WHEREAS, Licensor and Licensee, or their predecessors in interest, have previously used the Motorola Marks and variations thereof in association with various fields of commercial activity, including, without limitation, the development, manufacture and sale of high quality communications devices and equipment;

WHEREAS, as a result of their commercial activity under the Motorola Marks and variations thereof, the Motorola Marks are now exclusively and distinctively associated with the

 

1


products and services made, offered, endorsed, distributed, and/or approved by Licensor and Licensee or their predecessors in interest, and with the high quality of such products and services;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Separation Transactions, the Parties entered into a license agreement on July 30, 2010 (the "Prior Agreement") to allow Licensee to continue to use certain Motorola Marks as set forth in the Prior Agreement and to avoid to the extent possible any potential customer or consumer confusion that might otherwise arise as a result of the foregoing described transactions;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Separation Transactions, this Amended and Restated Agreement is to allow Licensee to continue to use certain Motorola Marks as set forth herein and to avoid to the extent possible any potential customer or consumer confusion that might otherwise arise as a result of the foregoing described transactions, and supersedes all prior agreements, including the Prior Agreement, discussions and understandings between the Parties related to its subject matter;

WHEREAS, Licensee wishes to have a right to continue to use the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names in the Solutions Fields of Use in the Territory, all as specifically defined and described herein, in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, Licensor wishes Solutions to have a license to use the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names in the Solutions Fields of Use in the Territory, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement and all as specifically defined and described herein;

Subject to the terms of Sections 2.3.2, 2.4 and 2.5.4, Licensee has the exclusive right to use the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names in connection with the Solutions Exclusive Fields of Use set forth on Schedule D, subject to the Mobility Exceptions set forth on Schedule D. Except for the Mobility Exceptions on Schedule D, Licensor shall not use for itself or grant a right to or otherwise license any third party, to use any Motorola Marks, Motorola Domain Names, Motorola Trade Names and/or confusingly similar imitation, likeness or variation of any Motorola Marks, Motorola Domain Names or Motorola Trade Names, in connection with the Solutions Exclusive Fields of Use, except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement or agreed upon in writing between the Parties.

2.2.2      Solutions Non-Exclusive Fields of Use. As of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Licensee does not have any rights to use the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names in connection with any Solutions Non-Exclusive Fields of Use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may hereafter be granted rights, in Licensor's sole but reasonable discretion, to use the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names in connection with Solutions Non-Exclusive Fields of Use which shall then be set forth on Schedule E. Licensor may use any Motorola Marks in connection with Solutions Non-Exclusive Fields of Use. Licensor may also authorize third parties to use the Motorola Marks in connection with Solutions Non-Exclusive Fields of Use.

2.2.3      Solutions Licensed Marks - Exclusive. Subject to the terms of Sections 2.3.2, 2.4 and 2.5.5, Licensee has the exclusive right to use the Solutions Licensed Marks set forth on Schedule B that are licensed exclusively to Licensee in connection with the Solutions Fields of Use. Licensor shall not use for itself or grant a right to or otherwise license any third party, to use any Solutions Licensed Marks licensed exclusively to Licensee, or any confusingly similar imitation, likeness or variation of any Solutions Licensed Marks licensed exclusively to Licensee, in connection with any Fields of Use, except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement or agreed upon in writing between the Parties.

2.2.4      Solutions Licensed Marks - Non-Exclusive.

2.3         Inadvertent Omissions from Licensee's Fields of Use or Licensed Marks.

2.3.1      In the event Licensee becomes aware that since prior to the Effective Date, Licensee and/or its Affiliates have been: (i) using the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and/or Solutions Licensed Trade Names in connection with products and/or services in Fields of Use that were inadvertently omitted from Schedule D and/or Schedule E hereto, and thus are not within Solutions Fields of Use ("Pre-existing Fields of

 

8


Use"); or (ii) using, in connection with Solutions Fields of Use, Motorola Marks that were inadvertently omitted from Schedule B or Schedule C hereto, and thus are not Solutions Licensed Marks ("Pre-existing Marks"), Licensee shall notify Licensor of such use in writing no later than thirty (30) days after discovery. Licensee shall provide Licensor with evidence of such use since prior to the Effective Date. Licensee may request from Licensor the right to continue such use of Pre-existing Fields of Use or Pre-existing Marks, in accordance with this Section 2.3.

2.3.2      Licensor's Approval or Denial of Pre-existing Fields of Use or Pre-existing Marks. Licensor shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of notification from Licensee to object to Licensee's continued use of the Solutions Licensed Marks in connection with the Pre-existing Fields of Use or Licensee's continued use of the Pre-existing Marks in connection with the Solutions Fields of Use. Licensor shall allow such expansion unless it reasonably determines, in its sole but good faith discretion, that such continued use by Licensee is outside the Solutions Fields of Use, would violate existing agreements with third-parties, or was otherwise intentionally excluded by the Parties from the Solutions Licensed Marks or Solutions Fields of Use during the Parties' negotiations of this Agreement. If such request is approved by Licensor, the appropriate schedules of this Agreement shall be amended to reflect the expanded scope of the license hereunder. If Licensee's request is denied, Licensee and its Affiliates shall end such use as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than nine (9) months following written notification of disapproval from Licensor with regard to use for Marketing Materials and Promotional Items, and two (2) years with regard to all use on Licensee's products, unless Licensor specifies a longer term. During the time periods identified in this Section 2.3.2, Licensee shall have no right to create, manufacture, produce or use new Marketing Materials, Promotional Items, or products using any Motorola Marks, Motorola Domain Names or Motorola Trade Names. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee shall not be required to recall, destroy, rebrand or otherwise dispose of any of its Marketing Materials, Promotional Items or products distributed or sold before or prior to expiration of the time periods identified in this Section 2.3.2.

2.3.3      Such approval shall not be contingent upon the payment of any fee or royalties to Licensor; however, the costs and expenses of searching, prosecuting or otherwise obtaining, registering, maintaining and enforcing such Pre-existing Fields of Use or Pre-existing Marks shall be governed by Section 5.2 of this Agreement.

2.5.1      Proposed Solutions Licensed Marks.  Licensee may request an expansion of the scope of the license hereunder to include new trademarks, service marks or other proprietary designations ("Proposed Mark"), in any Solutions Fields of Use; provided, however, that such expansion is approved by the Licensor, in Licensor's sole discretion, pursuant to the procedure established in this Section 2.5. If such expansion is approved, Schedule B or Schedule C hereto shall be amended to include such New Marks. Nothing in this Section 2.5.1 shall be read to guarantee Licensee the right to expand the Solutions Licensed Marks it may use under this Agreement.

2.5.1.1      If Licensee has a bona fide intention to use additional Motorola Marks pursuant to this Agreement, Licensee may request that Licensor amend Schedule B or Schedule C of this Agreement to add additional marks that Licensee would thereafter be licensed to use (each such mark, if approved pursuant to Sections 2.5.1.2 and 2.5.1.3, a "New Mark"). Licensee shall make the request by giving written notice to Licensor, at least sixty (60) days prior to any proposed use, specifying the Proposed Mark and the Solutions Fields of Use for which it proposes to use the Proposed Mark.

Licensor shall have twenty (20) days to approve or reject the Proposed Mark, with regard to all reasons except legal reasons, by providing a written response to Licensee. In the event Licensor fails to respond within the allotted time, the Proposed Mark shall be deemed to be rejected. In the event of a rejection due to a non-response by Licensor, Licensee may resubmit such Proposed Mark by sending its written request to Melissa Gardner, Vice-President Marketing-Naming, and Bill Ogle, Chief Marketing Officer, with a cc: to Dave Carroll, Lead Counsel-Trademarks & Marketing, or other contacts as may be updated from time to time. Upon such resubmission, Licensor shall have ten (10) days to approve or reject the Proposed Mark based on business grounds, by providing a written response to Licensee. In the event Licensor fails to respond to such resubmission within the allotted time, the New Mark shall be deemed to be approved from a business, but not necessarily legal, perspective. In the event Licensor rejects a Proposed Mark, in its sole but good faith discretion, Licensor shall specify in writing its reasons for such rejection. Once a Proposed Mark is approved from a business perspective, the Licensee shall proceed with legal searching, pursuant section 2.5.1.3.

2.5.1.3      Legal Approval.  Once business approval of a Proposed Mark is obtained, Licensee may send a written request for legal approval of the Proposed Mark by using the Markit.mot.com website, or other electronic submission system designated by Licensor, or in the event an electronic submission system is not available, by sending a written request to Kristen Poggensee, senior trademark paralegal, with a cc: to Dave Carroll, Lead Counsel-Trademarks & Marketing, or other contacts as may be updated from time to time ("Submission Request") with the following information: the Proposed Mark, countries of use, and the products and/or services within the Solutions Fields of Use that will be used in connection with the Proposed Mark.

In the event Licensor does not identify a perceived substantial risk based on the full trademark search, Licensee may request that Licensor apply for registration of the New Mark, by making such Submission Request. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that by proceeding with use and/or registration of the New Mark, that it is accepting all risks associated with adopting such New Mark. If, at any time, a Proposed Mark is rejected by Licensor, Licensee may elect to start the search process anew with a different Proposed Mark. In the event that the Parties disagree on whether a Proposed Mark was rightfully rejected by Licensor pursuant to this Section 2.5.1.3, the Parties' legal representatives shall discuss in good faith the legal risks presented by use and/or registration of the Proposed Mark, and any proposals for mitigation thereof; provided, however, that Licensor shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether or not to ultimately approve the use and/or registration of a Proposed Mark.

2.5.1.4      In the event that Licensor approves a New Mark, Schedule B or Schedule C hereto shall be amended accordingly to reflect such New Mark. Such New Mark shall be owned by Owner, and Licensee's use of such New Mark shall be in accordance with

 

13


the terms of this Agreement.

2.5.1.5      Licensee must, within two (2) years following such approval, make bona fide commercial use of the New Mark in the Solutions Fields of Use; otherwise, the rights for the New Mark shall revert to Licensor without any compensation or limitation, and Licensee may again apply for such rights.

After such written notification, the provisions of Sections 2.5.1.2 through 2.5.1.5 shall apply.

2.5.1.7      Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 2.5.1, Licensee is not prohibited from using the Solutions Licensed Marks in connection with one or more generic words, including alphanumeric and model number identifiers, all used in a generic sense and not as trademarks, and is not required to seek permission from Licensor to do so, provided; however, such use shall be otherwise in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, and so long as such uses do not result in substantial actual confusion.

2.5.2.1       Business Approval.  Licensee must request approval from Licensor to use Proposed Domain Names and Proposed Trade Names, including domain names and trade names that it has registered pursuant to Section 2.5.2.3.

In the event of a rejection due to a non-response by Licensor, Licensee may resubmit such Proposed Domain Name or Proposed Trade Name by sending its written request to Melissa Gardner, Vice-President Marketing-Naming, and Bill Ogle, Chief Marketing Officer, with a cc: to Dave Carroll, Lead Counsel-Trademarks & Marketing, or other contacts as may be updated from time to time. Upon such resubmission, Licensor shall have ten (10) days to approve or reject the Proposed Domain Name or Proposed Trade Name, by providing a written response to Licensee. In the event Licensor fails to respond to such resubmission within the allotted time, the Proposed Domain Name or Proposed Trade Name shall be deemed to be approved. In the event Licensor rejects a Proposed Domain Name or Proposed Trade Name, in its sole discretion, Licensor shall specify in writing its reasons for such rejection.

2.5.2.2      If such expansion is approved, Schedule F or Schedule H hereto shall be amended to include such New Domain Name or New Trade Name. Licensee's use of such New Domain Name or New Trade Name shall be in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement.

2.5.2.3      Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 2.5.2.4 below, Licensee may register, on behalf of and for Licensor, and begin using a new domain name or new trade name without obtaining Licensor's prior approval; provided, however, that said domain name or trade name consists: of (i) a Solutions Licensed Mark or Solutions Licensed Trade Names, plus a Top-Level Domain (in the case of a Domain Name) or indicator of entity type (in the case of a Trade Name); or (ii) a Solutions Licensed Mark or Solutions Licensed Trade Name, plus a geographic term, plus a Top-Level Domain (in the case of a Domain Name) or indicator of entity type (in the case of a Trade Name).

2.5.2.4      Licensee shall provide written notice to Melissa Gardner, Vice-President Marketing-Naming, and Bill Ogle, Chief Marketing Officer, with a cc: to Dave Carroll Lead Counsel-Trademarks & Marketing, or to other contacts as may be updated from time to time, on a quarterly basis on the dates set by Licensor, with a list of all Proposed Domain Names and Proposed Trade Names that it has registered since its last such report (or in the case of the first such report, since the Effective Date), including date of registration, date of expiration (if any), and registrar or registering office (the "List"). Licensor shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the List to object to any of the Proposed Domain Names or Proposed Trade Names on said List that were registered by Licensee pursuant to the terms of Section 2.5.2.3 by giving written notice to Licensee; otherwise, those Proposed Domain Names and Proposed Trade Names shall be deemed approved by Licensor. In the event the Licensor decides that Licensee must cease all use of any Proposed Domain Name or Proposed Trade Name, Licensee shall do so as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no case later than six (6) months following written notification of disapproval from Licensor with regard to use for Marketing Materials and Promotional Items, and one (1) year with regard to all use on Licensee's products. Licensee shall also take all reasonably necessary steps to cancel or amend the registration of such Proposed Trade Name and transfer the registration of such Proposed Domain Name to Licensor, without compensation. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee shall not be required to recall, destroy, rebrand or otherwise dispose of any of its Marketing Materials, Promotional Items or products distributed or sold before or prior to expiration of the time periods identified in this Section 2.5.2.4.

Licensor shall promptly investigate and evaluate the potential mistake. If Licensor, in its sole but good faith discretion, determines that the relevant Motorola Mark should in fact not have been licensed to Licensee, Schedule B or Schedule C of this Agreement shall be amended to remove that Solutions Licensed Mark from the relevant Solutions Licensed Marks schedule.

Such Divested Entity may not use the Solutions Licensed Marks in connection with any products or services that are not within the Divested Fields of Use. In order to avoid abandonment of the Solutions Licensed Marks in any Solutions Field of Use, if, in connection with such divestiture: (i) such Divested Entity does not enter into a sublicense, other than a wind down license, with Licensee to use the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names; and (ii) Licensee intends to, after expiration of any wind down licensed entered into with such Divested Entity, cease all use of, and has no intention to resume use of, the Solutions Licensed Marks in such Divested Fields of Use, or fails to resume use of the Solutions Licensed Marks in such Divested Fields of Use within a reasonable period of time after expiration of any wind down licensed

 

20


entered into with such Divested Entity, Licensee's rights under this Agreement to use such Solutions Licensed Marks in the Divested Fields of Use shall revert to Licensor without any compensation or limitation, and Licensee may again apply for such rights pursuant to Section 2.5. In the event that Licensee intends to cease all use of any Solutions Licensed Marks in a Divested Field of Use pursuant to this section 3.2.2.2, Licensee shall provide Licensor with three (3) months prior written notice of such intention. Nothing in this Agreement precludes Licensee from again applying for such rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall have the right to grant a wind down license to a Divested Entity, for a transition period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, to use the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names in connection with products or services that are within the Divested Fields of Use solely for the operation of the divested business.

3.2.2.2.3      If at any time Licensee acquires a business whose products and/or services are within the Solutions Fields of Use, Licensee may sublicense that business to use the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names in connection with the Solutions Fields of Use, provided that such sublicense shall be subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement, and provided that such entity shall not be entitled to further sublicense its rights.

3.2.2.2.4      If at any time Licensee acquires a business or product line that is not within the Solutions Fields of Use, Licensee may request an expansion of the scope of the license hereunder to include additional Fields of Use, pursuant to the procedure established Section 2.5.3 of this Agreement. Unless and until such Proposed Fields of Use are approved, Licensee may not sublicense, or otherwise permit that business to use the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names or Solutions Licensed Trade Names.

3.2.2.2.5      Licensee shall enter into a written sublicense agreement with any permitted sublicensee, which sublicense agreement shall be in substantially the same form as attached in Exhibit B and the scope of rights and manner in which any licensed marks or property are used or set forth in any permitted sublicense shall be no greater than, nor for a longer duration than, any such rights hereunder. Any breach by a sublicensee of this Agreement or the sublicense agreement shall, for all purposes, be considered a breach by Licensee of this Agreement.

3.2.3      Acknowledgement.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither Party may assign or sublicense this Agreement or any rights hereunder to any Person. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that: (i) this Agreement is in the nature of a personal service arrangement; (ii) under applicable trademark law, the Licensor would be excused from accepting

 

21


performance from or rendering service to an assignee of the contract; and (iii) any restrictions on assignment under this Agreement are valid and enforceable under Bankruptcy Code Section 365(c)(1).

TERM AND TERMINATION

4.1         Term.  The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of ten (10) years from such date (the "Initial Term"). Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive terms of ten (10) years (each, a "Renewal Term").

4.2         Non-Material Breaches.

4.2.1      Either Party may provide written notice to the other Party alleging such Party has failed to comply with their respective material duties or obligations hereunder, or has otherwise breached a term of this Agreement, but which failure does not rise to the level of a Material Breach ("Non-Material Breach"). Written notices shall set forth with sufficient particularity a description of the asserted breach, and proposed actions to be taken, if any, in order to remedy the breach. For the avoidance of doubt, breaches of Section 6.2 (Product Quality) shall be governed by the breach and cure provisions contained in Section 6.2.

4.2.2      Upon receipt of such notice, the breaching Party shall have thirty (30) days from the date of such notice to cure such Non-Material Breach. In the event that the Non-Material Breach is impossible to cure within thirty (30) days, the breaching Party shall have an additional thirty (30) days to cure such Non-Material Breach. For the avoidance of doubt, the breaching Party shall act in good faith, using Reasonable Efforts to cure any Non-Material Breach as soon as possible, but the breach must be cured within sixty (60) days from the initial notice.

4.3         Termination.  Notwithstanding Section 4.1 above and subject to the applicable time periods set forth in Section 4.4 below, this Agreement and the rights hereunder may be terminated upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

4.3.1      Termination for Cause.  Either Party may terminate this Agreement as a result of a Material Breach (as defined herein) of this Agreement by the other Party following written notice by the Party to the other Party of such breach, and which breach has remained uncured or otherwise unresolved for a period of one-hundred twenty (120) days or more following that Party's receipt of such written notice. Written notices shall set forth with sufficient particularity a description of the asserted breach, and proposed actions to be taken, if any, in order to remedy the breach. For the avoidance of doubt, the breaching Party shall use Reasonable Efforts to cure or otherwise resolve any Material Breach as soon as possible, but the

 

22


breach must be cured within one-hundred twenty (120) days from written notice. For the purpose of this Section 4.3.1, only the following types of breaches shall constitute a "Material Breach" of this Agreement:

(a)            Licensee's intentional disregard for, or chronic failure to comply with, its obligations under Article 6 (Quality Control), which failure materially and adversely impacts the Motorola Marks or the associated goodwill;

(b)            Licensee's intentional disregard for, or chronic failure to comply with, its obligations to use the Motorola Marks as required in the Master Brand Usage Guidelines attached as Exhibit A, which failure materially and adversely impacts the Motorola Marks or the associated goodwill;

(c)            Licensee's intentional disregard for, or chronic failure to comply with, its obligation to remedy Non-Material Breaches;

(d)            Licensee's egregious misconduct which materially and adversely impacts the Motorola Marks or the associated goodwill;

(e)            Licensee's knowing use of any Solutions Licensed Mark, Solutions Licensed Domain Name or Solutions Licensed Trade Name in any Field of Use other than the Solutions Fields of Use, or Licensee's knowing use of any Motorola Marks other than the Solutions Licensed Marks, or Licensee's knowing use of any other marks owned by Owner, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement; or

(f)            Licensee's challenge to Owner's title to or in the Motorola Marks, the validity of the Motorola Marks, or any registration thereof, including any breach of Section 5.1.

(g)            Licensor's intentional disregard for, or chronic failure to comply with, its obligation to remedy Non-Material Breaches; or

(h)            Licensor's egregious misconduct which materially and adversely impacts the Motorola Marks or the associated goodwill.

4.3.2      Upon Licensee's Cessation of Use of All of the Solutions Licensed Marks.  Except as specifically provided in Section 3.2.2.2 and Section 5.2.4 regarding Licensee's intention to cease some, but not all, use of a Solutions Licensed Mark in a Solutions Fields of Use, in the event that Licensee intends to cease use of all of the Solutions Licensed Marks, without an intention to resume such use, e.g., global rebrand, Licensee shall provide Licensor with prior written notice, at least three (3) months in advance of such cessation and this Agreement may thereafter be terminated by Licensor by written notice to Licensee. For purposes of this section, Licensee's public announcement of its intention to globally rebrand shall be deemed notice to Licensor.

4.3.3      Upon Consent.  This Agreement may be terminated upon mutual, written consent of authorized officers of both Parties, or upon written notification by an authorized officer of Licensee.

 

23


4.3.4      Upon the Occurrence of a Material Action.  This Agreement shall automatically terminate without the need for any other or ratifying act if and when a Material Action takes place with respect to Licensee. If Licensor becomes subject to a Material Action, Licensee may, in its sole discretion: (i) terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Licensor of its intent to terminate; or (ii) take action under the Right of First Refusal provisions pursuant to Section 5.5.

4.4       Effect of Termination.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement, all of Licensee's rights hereunder shall forthwith revert to Owner, who shall be free to use and license or permit others to use the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names without limitation.

4.4.3      Upon Licensee's Cessation of Use of All of the Solutions Licensed Marks.  If Licensor exercises its right to terminate under Section 4.3.2, Licensee shall end its use of all Solutions Licensed Marks as soon as reasonably practicable, and in no event later than three (3) years from written termination notice by Licensor with regard to use for Marketing Materials, Promotional Items and all use on Licensee's products; provided, however, that Licensor shall not use, or authorize others to use, the Solutions Licensed Marks in the Solutions Fields of Use

 

24


earlier than: (i) the expiration of the time periods identified in this Section 4.4.3; or (ii) Licensee's actual cessation of such use, whichever occurs first. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee shall not be required to recall, destroy, rebrand or otherwise dispose of any of its Marketing Materials, Promotional Items or products distributed or sold before or prior to expiration of the time period identified in this Section 4.4.3.

4.4.4      Other.  In any other case of termination of this Agreement, the Parties shall in good faith negotiate a reasonable time period for Licensee to cease all use of the Solutions Licensed Marks.

Until transfer of the registrations to Owner, Licensee shall or shall cause its sublicensees to maintain said registrations, including, but not limited to, paying all associated renewal fees, at Licensee's or its sublicensees' sole cost and expense.

4.4.6      Transfer of Trade Names.  Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Licensee shall, and shall cause its sublicensees to, take all necessary steps to cancel or amend all registrations of Solutions Licensed Trade Names so as to remove the Motorola Marks therefrom.

4.4.7      No Goodwill Redundancy upon Termination.  Any and all goodwill which accrues or which has accrued as a consequence of the implementation of this Agreement will have accrued and shall accrue for the benefit of Owner. Consequently, upon the proper termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, Licensee 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. Insofar as Licensee might have been regarded for the purposes of any applicable law to be entitled to any goodwill arising out of this Agreement or out of Licensee's use of the Motorola Marks, Licensee hereby assigns and transfers to Owner its ownership in that goodwill, without further consideration.

Licensee shall provide Licensor with prior written notice, at least three (3) months before it intends to cease use of any Solutions Licensed Marks in any of the Solutions Fields of Use, anywhere in the Territory, i.e., in one or more categories of products or services set forth in the Solutions Fields of Use on Schedule D or Schedule E.

5.2.5      Budgeting for Procurement, Maintenance, Enforcement and Archives.  The Parties or their designees shall meet annually and in good faith to discuss and agree upon the budget forecasts for the procurement, maintenance and enforcement of the Solutions Licensed Marks and the Archives for the coming year.

Within fifteen (15) days of Licensee's request for approval from Licensor, the Parties' legal representatives shall discuss in good faith the merits and legal risks of any such suit or other enforcement action; provided, however, that Licensor shall, in its sole but good faith discretion, determine whether or not to ultimately approve such action. In the event Licensor does not respond to Licensee, the suit or other enforcement action shall be deemed to be disapproved by Licensor. If approved, Licensor shall participate as a co-plaintiff in any suit or action if needed to provide standing and shall otherwise cooperate with Licensee with regard to such suit or action, at Licensee's sole cost and expense, and subject to appropriate indemnification as reasonably required by Licensor. Licensee shall indemnify Licensor against any and all judgments entered against Licensor or any other payments Licensor is required to make as a result of such suit or other enforcement action. Licensee may not settle such suit or enter into any other agreement affecting the Motorola Marks and/or Licensor's rights in them without Licensor's written approval. Licensee shall retain any monetary proceeds from such suit.

Licensee shall retain any monetary proceeds from such anti-counterfeiting actions.

5.4.5      Right to Prevent Litigation.  Notwithstanding Sections 5.4.2 and 5.4.3 above, in the event Licensor reasonably believes that taking an enforcement action in any particular matter would create a significant and serious risk to its business interests or to the Motorola Marks, Licensor shall advise Licensee of this determination within the thirty (30) days from Licensee's request for permission to initiate a suit or enforcement action, and Licensee shall take no action with respect to such matter.

5.4.6      Routine Preliminary Enforcement.  Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 5.4, Licensee is not required to give Licensor prior notification of routine enforcement actions, not rising to the level of litigation, which Licensee takes with respect to the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names. For purposes of this Section 5.4.6, administrative procedures (e.g., a proceeding under the ICANN Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy or customs or police actions) and service of letters or other notification to third parties that would not confer declaratory judgment jurisdiction on those third-parties, shall not be considered to be litigation. In the event Licensee wishes to file suit or make infringement allegations against a third party, Licensee must notify Licensor of all relevant information regarding the infringement and Licensee's enforcement efforts, after which the provisions of Sections 5.4.1 through 5.4.5 hereof shall apply. Licensee must also notify Licensor if litigation otherwise results from enforcement action pursuant to this Section 5.4.6, e.g., if the third-party files suit. Licensee shall be liable for all litigation costs and expenses, and subject to appropriate indemnification as reasonably required by Licensor.

5.4.7      Third-party infringement claims or lawsuits.  Licensee shall report to Licensor within five (5) business days all information in its possession relative to any actual or threatened suit or claim or other proceeding relating to the Solutions Licensed Marks brought or threatened to be brought against Licensee, or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees. Licensor shall have the right to control the defense of such suit, including any settlement or resolution thereof. Licensee shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any such suit or to take any other appropriate action relative thereto in cooperation with Licensor and otherwise subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement. Licensee shall

 

30


notify the carrier of insurance required under Section 7.2 of this Agreement promptly upon learning of any such actual or threatened claim, suit or other proceeding, in full compliance with all terms, conditions and requirements for coverage under said insurance policy.

5.4.8      Excluded Fields Of Use or Prohibited Use of Motorola Marks.  If during the Term of this Agreement, either Party or any of its Affiliates contemplates entering into an agreement with a third party to resolve or otherwise dispose of litigation or other dispute, including routine preliminary enforcement pursuant to Section 5.4.6, involving use of the Motorola Marks, Motorola Domain Names or Motorola Trade Names in the Territory that would prohibit use of a Solutions Licensed Mark, Solutions Licensed Domain Name or Solutions Licensed Trade Name in a Solutions Field of Use anywhere in the Territory, that Party shall promptly provide written notice to the other Party of its intent to enter into such agreement. The Parties' legal representatives shall thereafter discuss in good faith the legal risks presented by such dispute. If the Party contemplating entering into such an agreement subsequently enters into such an agreement, it shall promptly provide written notice to the other Party, the schedules of this Agreement shall be amended accordingly, and the Parties shall in good faith negotiate Licensee's reasonable phase-out period(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee shall be required to notify, and receive approval from, Licensor prior to resolving or otherwise disposing of any dispute that would prohibit use of any of the Motorola Marks, including the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names in any Field of Use, including Solutions Fields of Use, anywhere in the Territory.

5.5         Right of First Refusal.

5.5.1      During the Term of this Agreement, in the event that: (a) (i) Licensor, (ii) a trustee, assignee or receiver acting on Licensor's behalf, or (iii) a secured party, seeks to sell, transfer, assign, give, bequeath or otherwise dispose of (each a "Transfer") the Motorola Marks, or any portion thereof, as an independent stand-alone asset together with the goodwill pertaining thereto (a "ROFR Transaction"); or (b) if Licensor becomes subject to a Material Action, Licensor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably offers Licensee an exclusive right of first refusal to acquire the Motorola Marks, or any portion thereof, at then-fair market value, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement. For purposes of clarification, this right of first refusal does not apply to any Transfer in the absence of a Material Action that combines the Motorola Marks with the Transfer of all, or substantially all, of the assets of Licensor (such as, for instance, the sale or merger of Licensor's business that includes, as part of such transaction, the Transfer of the Motorola Marks).

5.5.2      In the event Licensor desires to Transfer the Motorola Marks, or any portion thereof or interest therein, to a third party (a "Third-Party Offeror") in a ROFR Transaction, then Licensor shall require such Third-Party Offeror to submit a bona fide, written purchase offer tendered at arms length, binding on the Third-Party Offeror, for the Motorola Marks or any portion thereof or interest therein (the "Third-Party Offer"). The Third-Party Offer shall set forth all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and shall not include any property other than the Motorola Marks or the relevant portion thereof or interest therein.

5.5.3      Upon receipt of the Third-Party Offer, Licensor shall notify Licensee of its desire to accept the Third-Party Offer, shall provide Licensee with a complete and accurate copy

 

31


of the Third-Party Offer, and shall simultaneously deliver a written offer to Licensee, binding on Licensor, to Transfer the Motorola Marks, or the applicable portion thereof or interest therein, to Licensee upon terms not materially different from those set forth in the Third-Party Offer plus an additional 3% topping fee over the Third-Party Offer's price (collectively, the "Motorola Marks Offer Notice").

5.5.4      Within five (5) days of Licensee's receipt of the Motorola Marks Offer Notice ("Initial Interest Period"), Licensee shall respond to Licensor to indicate whether Licensee may be interested in exercising its right of first refusal offered herein. Within fifteen (15) days of Licensee receipt of the Motorola Marks Offer Notice (the "Exercise Period"), Licensee may exercise its right of first refusal offered herein by providing written notice to Licensor. If Licensee so exercises its right of first refusal, then the Parties shall work together in good faith, and use their Reasonable Efforts, to: (i) prepare and negotiate definitive agreements to consummate the Transfer of the Motorola Marks, or the applicable portion thereof or interest therein, to Licensee; (ii) prepare and file any regulatory filings in an expedited manner, and take all actions reasonably necessary to apply for early termination of any applicable waiting periods under any federal laws (including antitrust laws); and (iii) close the Transfer of the Motorola Marks, or the applicable portion thereof or interest therein, to Licensee, upon the terms and conditions contained in the Motorola Marks Offer Notice, as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event by the later of: (a) sixty (60) days from the date Licensee notifies Licensor that it is exercising its right of first refusal hereunder; or (b) the date first allowed by law. If Licensee exercises its right of first refusal pursuant to this Section 5.5.4, but Licensee fails to close the Transfer of the Motorola Marks with the time periods identified in this Section 5.5.4, Licensor is free to Transfer the Motorola Marks, or the applicable portion thereof or interest therein, to any third party.

5.5.5      If Licensee either: (a) indicates within the Initial Interest Period that it is not interested in exercising its right of first refusal offered herein; or (b) fails to exercise its right of first refusal during the Exercise Period, then, and only then, shall Licensor be free to Transfer the Motorola Marks, or the applicable portion thereof or interest therein, to either the Third-Party Offeror or any other third party at a price that is at least as high as the price set forth in the Third-Party Offer and upon terms not materially different from the terms set forth in the Third-Party Offer. If Licensor and the Third-Party Offeror or any other third party fail to consummate the Transfer as contemplated in this Section 5.5 within the later of: (a) one-hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of the Exercise Period; or (b) the date first allowed by law, then Licensor shall not be permitted to Transfer the Motorola Marks, or any portion thereof or interest therein, to any other third party (including the Third-Party Offeror), without first offering Licensee the right of first refusal set forth herein.

5.6         Motorola.com.  Licensee acknowledges that as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Licensor owns and controls all rights and interest in and to the domain name registration for, and homepage located at, "motorola.com." Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties agree that: (i) Licensee is permitted to use, and shall share use with Licensor of, the homepage located at motorola.com; and (ii) Licensee is permitted to use Licensee's subpages, e.g., motorola.com/government, for thirty (30) months from the effective date of the Distribution Date, as that term is defined in the MSDA Agreement. Such use will allow the Parties to avoid to the extent possible any potential customer or consumer confusion

 

32


that might arise as a result of, and educate their respective consumers about, the Separation Transactions. All costs and expenses directly related to registration, maintenance, and operation of the motorola.com homepage, and all costs related to the operation of the Motorola.com website incurred by Licensor but which benefits both Licensee and Licensor as a result of the foregoing sharing arrangement, during this period shall be borne equally by Licensee and Licensor. Licensee shall bear all costs related to the maintenance and operation of Licensee's subpages.

5.7         Management of the Solutions Licensed Marks, Domain Names and Trade Names.  In order to protect and preserve the Motorola Marks, Motorola Domain Names and Motorola Trade Names, Licensee agrees to cooperate and comply with all reasonable measures undertaken by Licensor to review and evaluate the portfolio of Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names, including but not limited to, a quarterly review, on the dates set by Licensor, of the current and future planned use, or planned cessation of use, of any Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names or Solutions Licensed Trade Names anywhere in the Territory, and to otherwise reasonably cooperate and provide assistance with the administrative activities related thereto.

5.8         Motorola Trade Names.

5.8.1      Prior to the Separation Transactions on or about January 1, 2011, the Parties shall use their respective and collective Reasonable Efforts to review and agree upon Solutions Proposed Trade Names to be used by Licensee from and after the effective date of the Distribution Date, as that term is defined in the MSDA Agreement and included on Schedule H.

5.8.2      As of January 1, 2011, Licensee and its Affiliates shall not use "Motorola Corporation," "Motorola Corp.," "Motorola, Incorporated," "Motorola, Inc.," "Motorola Enterprises," "Motorola Technologies," "Motorola Telecommunications," "Motorola Electronics," "Motorola Mobile," "Motorola Mobility," or any colorable imitations or foreign equivalents of same for any of its businesses in any Fields of Use as a trademark or trade name; provided that Licensee and its Affiliates may make limited, non-prominent and nominative uses of "Motorola, Inc." as reasonably necessary for historic or factual reference. In the event Licensee wishes to change its name from "Motorola Solutions, Inc." after the effective date of the Distribution Date, as that term is defined in the MSDA Agreement, and the new name utilizes the Motorola Marks, or colorable imitations or foreign equivalents of same, the provisions of Section 2.5.2 shall apply.

5.8.3      For thirty (30) months from the effective date of the Distribution Date, as that term is defined in the MSDA Agreement, and without forming any intent not to thereafter resume use, Licensor and its Affiliates shall not use (i) "Motorola Corporation," "Motorola Corp.," "Motorola, Incorporated," "Motorola, Inc.," "Motorola Enterprises," "Motorola Technologies," "Motorola Telecommunications," "Motorola Electronics," "Motorola Systems," "Motorola Solutions," or any colorable imitations or foreign equivalents of same for any of its businesses in any Fields of Use; or (ii) any name or designation that would indicate that Licensor is the company formerly known as "Motorola, Inc." as a trademark or trade name; provided that Licensor and its Affiliates may make limited, non-prominent and nominative uses of "Motorola, Inc." as reasonably necessary for historic or factual reference.

 

33



5.9      Motorola Stock Tickers.  Licensee shall use the stock ticker symbol MSI. In the event Licensee wishes to change its stock ticker symbol to a new stock ticker utilizing the Motorola Marks or any abbreviations or derivatives containing the Motorola Marks, the new ticker symbol shall be treated as a request for a Proposed Trade Name, and the provisions of Section 2.5 shall apply. For two and a half (2.5) years from the effective date of the Distribution Date, as that term is defined in the MSDA Agreement, Licensor and its Affiliates shall not use any stock ticker symbol containing the sequence of letters "mot," either alone or in conjunction with other letters.

5.10      Motorola Toll-Free Number(s).  Licensor shall own all toll-free numbers, including without limitation, 800, 866, 877, and 888 extensions, which contain numbers that in sequence spell out any of the Motorola Marks. The Parties will work together to determine which toll-free numbers containing the Motorola Marks or Solutions Licensed Marks, each party will operate, provided that in the event the Parties can not agree, Licensor shall make such determination in its sole, good faith discretion. The Parties will work together to implement a plan to transfer misdirected calls, at the other party's expense, in order to minimize disruptions. Licensee's use of toll-free numbers containing the Solutions Licensed Marks shall be deemed a trademark use under this Agreement, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to such use.

ARTICLE 6

QUALITY CONTROL

6.1         Licensee's Use Subject to Licensor's Quality Control.  Licensee acknowledges that the Motorola Marks are extremely valuable and must continue to be associated only with high-quality products and services in order to maintain their value. Licensee agrees that its use of the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names is subject to the terms and requirements of this Article 6 regarding product and service quality and mark usage, and subject to Licensor's Master Brand Usage Guidelines attached as Exhibit A. Licensee further agrees to cooperate and comply in good faith with all commercially reasonable quality control measures undertaken by or at the request of Licensor in order to preserve or protect the integrity of the Motorola Marks, including the Solutions Licensed Marks, and shall not intentionally produce poor quality product or services in order to damage the Motorola Marks.

6.2         Product and Service Quality.

6.2.1      Licensee shall only use the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names in connection with high-quality products and services that comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the respective jurisdictions in which such products and services are advertised, marketed, sold, distributed or manufactured. Products and services that are at least of equal quality to Licensee's products and services as of the Effective Date shall generally be considered to comply with this Section 6.2, subject to changing market conditions or expectations.

 

34



6.2.2      Notice of non-compliance.  If Licensor determines that Licensee, or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees, is not in compliance with this Section 6.2, then Licensor may notify Licensee of such non-compliance ("Notice of Non-Compliance"). A Notice of Non-Compliance from Licensor shall be in writing and shall set forth with sufficient particularity a description of the nature of the non-compliance, and any requested action for curing such non-compliance. Additionally, Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor of any Material Incident, as that term is defined in the attached Exhibit C ("Quality Control Reporting Protocols") that comes to its attention. Upon Licensee's receipt of a Notice of Non-Compliance, or Licensor's receipt of notification of a Material Incident, Licensee shall promptly correct the issues identified therein ("Quality Issues"), by enacting the cure mechanisms contained in 6.2.2.1 through 6.2.2.4.

6.2.2.1      Cure Plan.  Licensee shall use Reasonable Efforts to cure or otherwise resolve all Quality Issues as soon as possible. In the event that the Quality Issues identified in a Notice of Non-Compliance cannot be cured or otherwise resolved within thirty (30) days from receipt of such notice, Licensee shall submit to Licensor a written plan to correct such Quality Issues ("Cure Plan") within sixty (60) days after receipt of such Notice of Non-Compliance. For Quality Issues identified in a notification of Material Incident, such Cure Plan shall accompany Licensee's notification of the Material Incident to Licensor.

6.2.2.2      Cure Plan Approval.  After Licensee submits its Cure Plan to Licensor, the Parties shall each appoint a representative to promptly review and discuss in good faith the proposed Cure Plan.

6.2.2.3      Initial Cure Period.  Once Licensor, in its sole but good faith discretion, has approved the Cure Plan ("Cure Plan Approval"), Licensee shall have a one-hundred twenty (120) day cure period, or a longer period as approved by Licensor on a case-by-case basis in its sole but good faith discretion ("Initial Cure Period") from Cure Plan Approval to correct the Quality Issues. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee shall act in good faith, using Reasonable Efforts, to correct the Quality Issues as soon as possible.

6.2.2.4      Additional Cure Period.  If the Quality Issues are not capable of being cured, or the Cure Plan is not capable of being completely executed, within the Initial Cure Period (e.g., an EPA-related incident) or the Quality Issues otherwise remain uncured after the expiration of the Initial Cure Period, then Licensor and Licensee shall each appoint a representative to promptly negotiate in good faith additional or other cure plans ("Additional Cure Plan") for a different or additional cure period ("Additional Cure Period") that may be reasonably necessary to correct such Quality Issues. Provided, however, that if the Parties are unable to agree on an Additional Cure Plan or Additional Cure Period, Licensor shall, in its sole but good faith discretion, determine such Additional Cure Plan or Additional Cure Period.

6.2.2.5      Effect of Noncompliance.  If the Quality Issues have not been cured to the satisfaction of Licensor or the Quality Issues remain otherwise uncured after the time period provided for in the Initial Cure Period and any Additional Cure Period(s), then such

 

35


Quality Issues shall be deemed uncured ("Uncured Quality Issues"). In that case, Licensee shall cease use of the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names on or in connection with the products, services or activities that are the subject of the Uncured Quality Issues as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than six (6) months after such Quality Issues are determined to be Uncured Quality Issues with regard to use for Marketing Materials and Promotional Items, and one (1) year with regard to all use on Licensee's products. During the time periods identified in this Section 6.2.2.5, Licensee shall have no right to create, manufacture, produce, distribute or otherwise use any new Marketing Materials, Promotional Items, or products or services using any Motorola Marks, Motorola Domain Names or Motorola Trade Names, which are the subject of the Uncured Quality Issues.

6.2.3      Licensor recognizes that Licensee has used the Solutions Licensed Marks in connection with the Solutions Fields of Use for many years, and during that period has used the Solutions Licensed Marks in connection with products and services found to be of acceptable quality. Licensor further recognizes that Licensee has in place, and Licensee agrees that it shall maintain throughout the Term of this Agreement, an effective system for evaluating, monitoring and ensuring the continuing quality of products and services Licensee sells in connection with the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names.

6.2.4      Licensee shall submit yearly reports to Licensor, on the dates set by Licensor, in substantially the same form as Exhibit C attached hereto. Licensor, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to modify Exhibit C from time to time (if modified, "Amended Exhibit C"), but Licensor shall reasonably consult with Licensee prior to modifying such exhibit. Upon receipt by Licensee of such Amended Exhibit C, this Agreement shall immediately become modified to include only the most recent Amended Exhibit C.

6.2.5      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.2, Licensor or its authorized designee may, in Licensor's sole discretion, conduct quality control audits to inspect plants, facilities, products or services bearing or associated with the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names or Solutions Licensed Trade Names. In addition, Licensor shall have the right to conduct additional quality control audits: (i) as the result of any Material Incident; (ii) of a sublicensee, upon Licensee's sublicense of any of its rights hereunder; (iii) upon a Licensee Change of Control; or (iv) as reasonably necessary to ensure compliance with this Section 6.2. A request for audit shall be made at least ten (10) business days prior to the commencement of such audit. Any audit shall be conducted during regular business hours, and in a manner designed to minimize disruption to Licensee's normal business activities.

6.2.6      Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to expand the rights of Licensee herein, to limit Licensee's obligations hereunder, or to preclude Licensor from pursuing any other rights or remedies

6.3         Mark Usage.

6.3.1      Licensee shall use the Solutions Licensed Marks in accordance with Licensor's standards for mark usage. Mark usage that complies with Licensor's Master Brand

 

36


Usage Guidelines shall be considered to comply with this Section 6.3. Upon Licensor's reasonable request and at Licensee's cost and expense, Licensee shall submit samples of its use of the Solutions Licensed Marks to Licensor and shall promptly correct any material mark usage deficiencies identified by Licensor. Use by Licensee of the Motorola Marks shall qualify as valid use by the Licensor, and Licensee shall take any actions or do anything, including signing any document, application, filing or agreement, or providing usage specimens reasonably necessary or desired to establish the use of Motorola Marks by Licensee, its Affiliates and sublicensees under license from Licensor.

6.3.2      Licensor, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to modify the Master Brand Usage Guidelines from time to time (if modified, "Amended Exhibit A"). Licensor shall reasonably consult with Licensee prior to modifying the Master Brand Usage Guidelines; however, the right to modify remains in Licensor's sole discretion. Licensor shall only include, and require Licensee to comply with, modifications to the Master Brand Usage Guidelines that it also intends to adopt in connection with its use of the Motorola Marks in its business operations. In the event of such modification(s), Licensor shall promptly provide Licensee with one or more Amended Exhibits A. Upon receipt by Licensee of such Amended Exhibit A, this Agreement shall immediately become modified to include only the Master Brand Usage Guidelines identified on the most recent Amended Exhibit A. Licensee shall conform all uses of the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names and Solutions Licensed Trade Names in accordance with Amended Exhibit A as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than four (4) years after Licensor provides Licensee with the Amended Exhibit A with regard to use for Marketing Materials, Promotional Items and all use on Licensee's products. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee shall not be required to recall, destroy, rebrand or otherwise dispose of any of its Marketing Materials, Promotional Items or products distributed or sold before or prior to expiration of the time period identified in this Section 6.3.2.

6.4         Marking.

6.4.1      Licensee shall use the following notice, as may be amended from time to time by Licensor, on the Marketing Materials and, to the extent commercially reasonable, on Promotional Items, in the Solutions Fields of Use to identify licensed uses under this Agreement and the proprietary rights of Licensor:

Further, at all times, Licensee shall comply with the requirements of Licensor's Master Brand Usage Guidelines.

 

37

The Indemnifying Party shall promptly assume the defense of the suit or proceeding at its own expense, and shall pay all costs associated with the defense, including attorneys' fees. The Indemnifying Party shall inform and consult with the Indemnified Party on a regular basis regarding the progress of such Claim, including any proposed settlements thereof.

10.1      Dispute Resolution.  It is the intention of the Parties to use their respective and collective Reasonable Efforts to resolve expeditiously and on a mutually acceptable negotiated basis any dispute, controversy or claim arising under, out of or relating to this Agreement that may arise from time to time. Any dispute between the Parties related to this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with this Article 10, which shall be the exclusive remedy for any dispute hereunder; provided, however, that if the dispute is not resolved to the satisfaction of a Party in accordance with this Section 10.1, either Party may elect to take the dispute to arbitration pursuant to Article 11, and if the dispute involves a Fundamental Matter and is not resolved to the satisfaction of a Party in accordance with this Section 10.1, either Party may elect to take such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Article 12 of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the nature or scope of remedies available to the arbitrators in connection with the resolution of a dispute.

10.1.1     In the event of a dispute between the Parties, such dispute shall be resolved by way of the following process:

10.1.1.1      A Party shall provide notice to the other Party of such dispute.

10.1.1.2      The Parties shall meet to discuss the basis for such dispute and shall use their Reasonable Efforts to negotiate in good faith to reach a reasonable resolution to such dispute.

10.1.1.3      If the Parties fail to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days of notice of such dispute, the matter in dispute shall be brought to the attention of Senior Management of each Party. The Senior Management of each Party shall meet in person to negotiate a good faith resolution to such dispute within thirty (30) days of their receipt of written notice that the Parties have failed to resolve such dispute. If the Senior Management of the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within such thirty (30) day period, then the Chief Executive Officers of the Parties shall meet in person to negotiate a good faith resolution to such dispute within sixty (60) days of their receipt of written notice that the Senior Management of the Parties has failed to resolve such dispute.

10.1.1.4      If the negotiations as outlined in the preceding subsections have failed to resolve such dispute, either Party may seek binding arbitration in accordance with Article 11. The Parties shall comply with any final determination of the arbitrators that are engaged pursuant this Section 10.1.1.4.

10.1.1.5      If either Party does not act in accordance with this Article 10, then the other Party may seek any and all remedies available at law or in equity to enforce this Article 10.

ARTICLE 11

ARBITRATION

11.1      Arbitration.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.1 for resolution of Fundamental Matters, any dispute, controversy or claim arising under, out of or relating to this Agreement, including any dispute not resolved as outlined in Article 10, shall be exclusively referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") for large or complex commercial disputes in force at the time when the arbitration is initiated. The place of arbitration shall be Chicago, Illinois. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language before three (3) arbitrators appointed in accordance with the AAA Rules; whereby each Party is entitled to nominate one (1) arbitrator who each must have had, by the time of the actual arbitration, at least ten (10) years of experience as an attorney and experienced in trademark matters so as to better understand the legal and business issues addressed in the arbitration, and who does not have any conflict of interest in serving as an arbitrator. The Parties shall have thirty (30) days from the commencement of an arbitration to appoint their arbitrator, and the third arbitrator shall be appointed within ten (10) days of the appointment of the Parties arbitrators.

11.1.1      The Parties understand and acknowledge that such arbitration will go beyond the resolution of issues of law in the strict sense but also relate to the future business conduct of either or both Parties, including, but not limited to, disputes which relate to and will affect the future rights and duties of the Parties.

11.1.2      This agreement to arbitrate shall, with the exception of disputes involving Fundamental Matters, be the exclusive remedy for the resolution of all disputes under this Agreement and shall be specifically enforceable. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitration may be entered by any State or Federal court having jurisdiction. Any controversy concerning whether a dispute is an arbitrable dispute shall be determined by the arbitrators.

11.1.3      The Licensor and Licensee intend that this agreement to arbitrate be valid, specifically enforceable and irrevocable. The designation of a site or a governing law for this Agreement or the arbitration shall not be deemed an election to preclude application of the Federal Arbitration Act, if it would be applicable. The decision of the arbitrators shall be binding and shall not be subject to judicial review.

11.1.4      Injunctive Relief; Other Actions. Notwithstanding the other provisions of Article 10 or Article 11, both Licensor and Licensee may request a court of competent jurisdiction to grant provisional injunctive relief solely for the purpose of maintaining the status quo until the arbitrators can render an award on the matter in question, or in the case of a

 

43


Fundamental Matter, until a court can rule on the matter in question. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any delays in seeking preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, as a result of following the procedures of Article 10 or otherwise seeking in good faith to amicably resolve any disputes, shall not be a basis for denial of such relief. It is understood and agreed that Licensor may seek injunctive relief in matters involving use of the Solutions Licensed Marks, Solutions Licensed Domain Names, Solutions Licensed Trade Names or other Motorola Marks, and either Party may seek injunctive relief in matters involving the disclosure of that Party's Confidential Information or to prevent the use of the Solutions Licensed Marks or other Motorola Marks in violation of a Party's exclusive rights. It is further understood and agreed that nothing in this Section 11.1 shall in any way limit either Parties' rights under Section 4.3.1 to terminate this Agreement upon the occurrence of a Material Breach by the other Party.

11.1.5      The arbitrators shall have continuing jurisdiction to implement their decision. Each Party shall initially be responsible for its own costs and attorney's fees, and shall share the expenses of the arbitration equally; provided, however, that in the event the losing Party has been found to have engaged in bad faith in its dealings with the prevailing Party, the arbitrators shall award all expenses of the arbitration, costs and reasonable attorney's fees to the prevailing Party. Expeditious adjudication of the dispute is important to the Parties. Unless otherwise provided by the Rules of Arbitration of the AAA, established by the arbitrators or agreed to by the Parties, the Parties shall have sixty (60) days from the appointment of the last of the three arbitrators to present and/or submit their positions to the arbitrators, and the Parties shall have a hearing before the arbitrators within thirty (30) days after the last submission. The arbitrators shall hear evidence by each Party and resolve each of the issues identified by the Parties. The Parties shall use all Reasonable Efforts to make witnesses available for the proceedings. The arbitrators shall be instructed and required to render a written, binding, non-appealable resolution and award on each issue which clearly states the basis upon which such resolution and award is made (and which may include injunctive relief, enforceable in a court of law with competent jurisdiction in the Territory). The written resolution and award shall be delivered to the Parties as expeditiously as possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after conclusion of the hearing, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. No information concerning an arbitration, beyond the names of the Parties and the relief requested, may be unilaterally disclosed to a third party by either Party unless required to do so by law or by a competent regulatory body, provided that the arbitrators are furnished with details of the disclosure and an explanation of the reasons for it.

ARTICLE 12

COURT ACTION

12.1         Court Action.  In the event that either Party does not act in accordance with Article 10 or Article 11 of this Agreement, then the other Party may seek any and all remedies available at law or in equity to enforce the provisions of Article 10 or Article 11 by pursuing such breach in a court of competent jurisdiction.

12.1.1      In the event that the dispute involves a Fundamental Matter that is not resolved to the satisfaction of a Party in accordance with Article 10, then such Party may seek any and all remedies available at law or in equity to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement by pursuing such dispute involving the Fundamental Matter in a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

44



12.1.2      It is understood and agreed that all court costs, e.g., filing fees, but not attorneys' fees, of the prevailing Party related to a court action brought pursuant to this Article 12, and finally disposed of by such court, shall be borne by the losing Party, whether or not such court enters an order relating to such court costs.
