B. At Licensor's request, Licensee shall execute any documents, including
Registered User Agreements, reasonably required by Licensor to confirm the
respective rights of Licensor and Ms. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in and to the Licensed ▇▇▇▇
in each jurisdiction in the Territory and the respective rights of Licensor and
Licensee pursuant to this Agreement. Licensee shall cooperate with Licensor, in
connection with the filing and the prosecution by Licensor of applications to
register or renew the Licensed ▇▇▇▇ for Articles sold hereunder in each
jurisdiction in the Territory where Licensee has reasonably requested the same.
Such filings and prosecution shall be in the name of Licensor or Ms. ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇, as they may decide, the expense of which shall be paid for by Licensee.
Nothing contained herein shall obligate Licensor to prosecute any trademark
application outside the U.S. which is opposed or rejected in any country after
the application is filed, provided, however, that any such prosecution shall go
forward if (a) Licensee requests same; (b) Licensee pays for same directly; and
(c) such prosecution is in Licensor's (or Ms. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇) name and directed
by Licensor. Licensor shall cooperate fully with any such prosecution. Licensee
agrees to retain and employ on Licensor's behalf the firm of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇,
LLP of New York City to file and prosecute the various trademark applications
around the World for the Trademark, as long as such fees charged by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ &
▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLP are competitively priced with other intellectual property law firms.
▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLP shall work with Licensee's paralegal to keep such paralegal
apprised of its progress in connection with the application and registration
work referenced herein. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLP shall enter into a retainer
agreement with Licensee that is mutually acceptable to Licensee and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ &
▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLP providing, inter alia, that a retainer amount of $5,500 shall be
paid to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLP for the first 12 months and $3,500 for the second
12 months for work to be done by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLP in connection with foreign
application work.
C. Licensee shall use the Licensed ▇▇▇▇ in each jurisdiction in the
Territory strictly in compliance with the legal requirements obtained therein
and shall use such markings in connection therewith as may be required by
applicable legal provisions. Licensee shall cause to appear on all Articles and
on all materials on or in connection with which the Licensed ▇▇▇▇ is used, such
legends, markings and notices as may be reasonably necessary in order to give
appropriate notice of any trademark, trade name or other rights therein or
pertaining thereto.
D. Licensee shall never challenge the validity of the Licensed ▇▇▇▇ or
any application for registration thereof, or any trademark registration hereof,
or any rights of Licensor therein. The foregoing shall not be deemed to prevent
Licensee from asserting, as a defense to a claim of breach of contract brought
against Licensee by Licensor for
Page 12
failure to perform its obligations hereunder, that its ceasing performance under
this Agreement was based upon Licensor's failure to own the Licensed ▇▇▇▇ in the
United States of America, provided that it is established in a court of law that
Licensor does not own the Licensed ▇▇▇▇, that the Licensed ▇▇▇▇ is owned by a
third party so as to preclude the grant of the license provided herein.
E. In the event that Licensee learns of any infringement or imitation of
the Licensed ▇▇▇▇ or of any use by any person of a trademark similar to the
Licensed ▇▇▇▇, it promptly shall notify Licensor thereof. In no event, however,
shall Licensor be required to take any action if it deems it inadvisable to do
so.
F. Licensor shall not be required to protect, indemnify or hold Licensee
harmless against, or be liable to Licensee for, any liabilities, losses,
expenses or damages which may be suffered or incurred by Licensee as a result of
any infringement or allegation thereof by any other person, firm or corporation,
other than by reason of Licensor's breach of the representations made and
obligations assumed herein. Licensor and Ms. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ make no warranties or
representations as to the registrability of the Licensed ▇▇▇▇ in the various
trademark offices around the World, except that Licensor warrants and represents
that Ms. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has pending trademark applications as shown on the annexed
Exhibit A.
ARTICLE 14
DEFAULTS; TERMINATION
A. The following conditions and occurrences shall constitute "Events of
Default" by Licensee:
1. the failure to pay Licensor the full amount due it under any of
the provisions of this Agreement by the prescribed date for such payment;
2. the failure to deliver full and accurate reports pursuant to any
of the provisions of this Agreement by the prescribed due date therefore;
3. the making or furnishing of a knowingly false statement in
connection with or as part of any material aspect of a report, notice or request
rendered pursuant to this Agreement;
4. the failure to maintain the insurance required by Article 12;
5. the use of the licensed ▇▇▇▇ in an unauthorized or unapproved
manner;
6. Licensee's use of other trademarks or in association with the
Articles, without prior written consent of Licensor;
7. the commencement against Licensee of any proceeding in
bankruptcy, or similar law, seeking reorganization, liquidation, dissolution,
arrangement, readjustment, discharge of debt, or seeking the appointment of a
receiver, trustee or custodian of all or any substantial part of Licensee's
property, not dismissed within sixty (60) days, or Licensee's making of an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, filing of a
Page 13
bankruptcy petition, its acknowledgment of its insolvency or inability to pay
debts, or taking advantage of any other provision of the bankruptcy laws;
8. the material breach of any other material promise or agreement
made herein.
B. In the event Licensee fails to cure (i) an Event of Default within
thirty (30) days after written notice of default is transmitted to Licensee
under Article 14 A.3, A.5, A.6, or A.7; or (ii) Licensee fails to cure any other
Event of Default within sixty (60) days after written notice of default is
transmitted to Licensee or within such further period as Licensor may allow,
this Agreement shall, at Licensor's option, be terminated, on notice to
Licensee, and all the prorated Guaranteed Minimum Royalties for the Annual
Period as in Article 8 above shall become due, without prejudice to Licensor's
right to receive other payments due or owing to Licensor under this Agreement or
to any other right of Licensor, including the right to damages and/or equitable
relief.
C. Upon the termination of this Agreement, in the event this Agreement is
not renewed as provided in Article 4 above, or in the event of the termination
or expiration of a renewal term of this Agreement, Licensee, except as specified
below, will immediately discontinue use of the Licensed ▇▇▇▇, will not resume
the use thereof or adopt any colorable imitation of the Licensed ▇▇▇▇ or any of
its parts, will promptly deliver and convey to Licensor (free of all liens and
encumbrances) (i) all plates, engravings, silk-screens, or the like used to make
or reproduce the Licensed ▇▇▇▇ and the Designs, but not the bottle mold or
tooling which Licensor shall be entitled to purchase or recover as provided
below; and(ii) all items affixed with likeness or reproductions of the Licensed
▇▇▇▇, whether Articles, labels, bags, hangers, tags or otherwise, and, upon
request by Licensor, will assign to Licensor such rights as Licensee may have
acquired in the Licensed ▇▇▇▇. In the event that this Agreement expires or is
terminated by Licensor due to Licensee's default, Licensor shall have an option,
but not an obligation, to purchase the bottle mold and tooling for the Articles,
free of all liens and other encumbrances, at a price equal to Licensee's cost
for same established by submission of ▇▇▇▇(s) from supplier and satisfactory
proof of payment for same. Licensor shall pay such cost as follows: 50% (fifty)
at closing and the balance paid by six (6) equal monthly payments. Licensor
shall, at the time it exercises its purchase option, enter into a security
agreement with Licensee with respect to the mold, which shall entitle Licensee
to foreclose on its security interest in the mold in the event Licensor fails to
make any installment payment due within fifteen (15) days after receiving notice
of default. Licensor shall exercise its aforesaid option within thirty (30) days
after Licensee's submission of documents establishing cost. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Licensor has terminated this Agreement due to Licensee's default,
Licensor, at its option, shall be entitled, in exercising its purchase option,
to deduct from the cost price an amount equal to the sales and guaranteed
minimum royalties Licensor is entitled to recover, for which deduction Licensee
shall receive a credit. In the event Licensor exercises its aforesaid option,
Licensee shall be precluded forever from using the bottle molds or tools and
from selling or otherwise transferring or licensing any rights whatsoever in the
molds or tools to any third party. In the event that Licensor does not exercise
its aforesaid option, Licensee shall not use the bottle molds or tools or sell
or otherwise transfer or license any
Page 14
rights whatsoever in the bottle mold or tools to any third party for a period of
two (2) years after the determination of the fair market value. In the event of
any permitted use of the bottle mold and/or tools by Licensee, Licensee shall
not use in connection therewith the Licensed ▇▇▇▇, any trademark confusingly
similar thereto, any trade dress associated with the Articles, any advertising
or promotional materials used in connection with the Articles or any other
markings or materials which would cause a reasonable consumer to believe that
any new items sold using the bottle mold and tools are authorized by Licensor or
in some way associated with the Licensed ▇▇▇▇. Any permitted sale or license of
the bottle mold and/or tools by Licensee shall prohibit in writing the purchaser
or licensee from using the Licensed ▇▇▇▇, and confusingly similar trademark and
any such trade dress, advertising, promotional materials, markings or other
materials and shall expressly make Licensor a third party beneficiary of such
provision.
ARTICLE 15
RIGHTS ON EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION
A. If this Agreement expires or is terminated, Licensee shall cease to
manufacture Articles (except for work in process or to balance component
inventory) but shall be entitled, for an additional period of twelve (12) months
only, on a non-exclusive basis, to sell and dispose of its inventory subject,
however, to the provisions of paragraph D of this Article. Such sales shall be
made subject to all of the provisions of this agreement and to an accounting for
and the payment of Sales Royalty thereon but not to the payment of Guaranteed
Minimum Royalties. Such accounting and payment shall be made monthly.
B. In the event of termination in accordance with Article 14 above,
Licensee shall pay to Licensor, the Sales Royalty then owed to it pursuant to
this Agreement or otherwise.
C. Notwithstanding any termination in accordance with Article 14 above,
Licensor shall have and hereby reserve all rights and remedies which it has, or
which are granted to it by operation of law, to enjoin the unlawful or
unauthorized use of the Licensed ▇▇▇▇, and to collect royalties payable by
Licensee pursuant to this Agreement and to be compensated for damages for breach
of this Agreement.
D. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall
deliver to Licensor a complete and accurate schedule of Licensee's inventory of
Articles and of related work in process then on hand (including any such items
held by Subsidiaries, Affiliates or others on behalf of Licensee) (hereinafter
referred to as "Inventory). Such schedule shall be prepared as of the close of
business on the date of such expiration or termination and shall reflect
Licensee's cost of each such item. Notwithstanding anything contained to the
contrary in this Agreement, Licensor thereupon shall have the option,
exercisable by notice in writing delivered to Licensee within thirty (30) days
after its receipt of the complete Inventory schedule, to purchase
Page 15
any or all of the Inventory, free of all liens and other encumbrances, for an
amount equal to Licensee's cost plus 20%. In the event such notice is sent by
Licensor, Licensee shall deliver to Licensor or its designee all of the
Inventory referred to therein within thirty (30) days after Licensor's said
notice and, in respect of any Inventory so purchased, assign to Licensor all
then outstanding orders from Licensee to its suppliers and to Licensee from its
customers. Licensor shall pay Licensee for such Inventory within twenty (20)
days after the delivery of such Inventory to Licensor. No Sales Royalty shall be
payable to Licensor with respect to any such inventory purchased by Licensor.

contained herein.
(ii) CONSOLIDATION. Notwithstanding anything contained to the
contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not terminate if Licensee is
merged or otherwise consolidated into another entity which is the surviving
entity of equal or superior financial strength.
B. Licensee shall be entitled to use distributors in connection with its
sale of Articles under this Agreement without approval of Licensor. No such
distributor, however, shall be entitled to exercise any of Licensee's rights
hereunder except for the sale of Articles which have been approved by Licensor
hereunder.
ARTICLE 17
MISCELLANEOUS

the Licensed ▇▇▇▇, Licensee agrees to sell Articles to Licensor for sale in such
stores at the established U.S. retail price for the specific Article, less an
additional * discount. Licensee further agrees that any sales pursuant to this

Agreement by Licensee.

otherwise eliminated.

delay in any performance or for the failure to render any performance under the

warlike conditions, the elements, embargoes,

governmental order, whether or not valid, or other similar causes beyond the
control of the party effected. The party claiming to be so affected shall give
notice to the other party promptly after it learns of the occurrence of said
event and of the adverse results thereof. Such notice shall set forth the nature
and extent of the event. The delay or failure shall not be excused unless such
notice is so given. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,

Agreement under this paragraph, Licensee shall have no further obligations for
