Limited License to Gateway’s Trademarks |
| |||
2.1 Trademark License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article 2, Gateway hereby grants MPC, for up to one year from the Effective Date and solely within the Territory, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable, royalty-free license to use the Licensed Marks on Licensed Products, on documentation related to Licensed Products, on packaging for Licensed Products, in images that may appear on customers’ computer screens while using Licensed Products, and in manufacturing and assembling Licensed Products, consistent with Gateway’s past practices (“Licensed Uses”). For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article 2, the license granted in the immediately preceding sentence shall extend to cross-sales of Licensed Products by MPC to MPC’s current customers.
2.2 Purpose. MPC understands and acknowledges that this license is granted solely for the purposes of facilitating the transfer of the Purchased Assets and Liabilities to MPC and providing a stable brand image to existing Business customers. MPC further understands and acknowledges that MPC’s uses of the Licensed Marks are limited to uses consistent with these purposes and with Gateway’s past practices. MPC agrees to use commercially-reasonable efforts to transition away from the use of the Licensed Marks.
2.3 Use of Licensed Marks. MPC shall only use the Licensed Marks for Licensed Uses:
2.3.1 MPC will not use the Licensed Marks on new Product models or versions that were not sold by Gateway on or before the Effective Date, unless Gateway agrees in writing to allow the use. This restriction shall not prevent MPC from using the Licensed Marks on configure-to-order Products.
2.3.2 MPC may use the Licensed Marks only as they have been previously used by Gateway, unless Gateway agrees in writing to allow a different use.
2.3.3 MPC shall not alter the look or the placement of a Licensed ▇▇▇▇ on any Licensed Product that differs from the look or placement of the Licensed
1
▇▇▇▇ on that product when sold by Gateway, unless Gateway agrees in writing to allow a different look or placement.
2.3.4 Any and all uses by MPC of the Licensed Marks on all Licensed Products shall be in accordance with Gateway’s trademark use guidelines. Copies of Gateway’s trademark use guidelines, entitled “Style Guide” and “Product ID Style Guide”, are attached hereto as Attachments D and E, respectively. In its sole discretion, Gateway may amend, alter or replace the Licensed Marks or revise Gateway trademark use guidelines by sending MPC notice thereof. Such marks and guidelines shall become effective, and shall be adhered to by MPC, within sixty (60) days of MPC’s receipt of notice.
2.3.5 For up to six (6) months from the Effective Date, MPC may ship Licensed Product in cow-spotted boxes substantially similar to the boxes used by Gateway on the Effective Date. MPC shall not alter the appearance of these boxes, unless Gateway agrees in writing to allow a different appearance. MPC shall only ship Gateway-branded Product in these boxes.
2.4 Additional Restrictions on MPC’s Use of Licensed Marks. MPC shall not use the Licensed Marks in conjunction with any direct or indirect sales to consumers. MPC shall not use the Licensed Marks in conjunction with sales to any retailer or direct market reseller, whether or not all or a portion of the sales made by the retailer or direct market reseller are to businesses. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, Best Buy, CDW, Circuit City, CompUSA, Costco, HSN, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Micro, J&R Computer World, Micro Center, Office Depot and Staples.
2.5 Foreign Sales. For the avoidance of doubt, MPC’s license under this Agreement does not include the right to use the Licensed Marks on Products for sale to end-users residing outside of the Territory; provided, however, that MPC may ship to customers of the Business with ship-to locations outside the United States and Canada.
2.6 No Damage or Dilution. MPC agrees that it will not use the Licensed Marks in any way that would damage or dilute the value of, or the reputation associated with, the Licensed Marks. MPC understands and acknowledges that the failure to sell quality Gateway-branded Product or to provide quality warranty support to the customers of the Business that is equivalent to or better than the warranty support provided by Gateway to its customers immediately prior to the Effective Date will damage and dilute the value of, or reputation associated with, the Licensed Marks and will entitle Gateway to immediately seek injunctive relief under Section 7.4.
2.6.1 MPC shall undertake such steps as Licensor may deem reasonable to assist Gateway in monitoring the quality of the Licensed Products provided by Licensee under the Licensed Marks. Licensee shall permit reasonable inspection of Licensee’s operations and supply Licensor with specimens of use of the Licensed Marks upon request. Gateway has the right to take all reasonable actions that it deems necessary to ensure that Licensee’s activities under this Agreement and uses of the Licensed Marks are consistent with the reputation for
1
quality and prestige of Products bearing the Licensed Marks which were sold by Gateway on or before the Effective Date.
2.7 Advertising. MPC shall not use the Licensed Marks in any advertising, except for the limited purpose of announcing that MPC has acquired the Purchased Assets and Liabilites. Any advertising done consistent with this Section 2.7 shall occur no sooner than the Effective Date and shall terminate no later than 90 days after the Effective Date. The use of the Licensed Marks for this limited purpose shall be consistent with Gateway’s brand guidelines and subject to Gateway’s approval. Before any advertising campaign is launched using a Licensed ▇▇▇▇, MPC shall make samples and other information available to facilitate Gateway’s review and approval. Gateway shall have the right to make reasonable objections to the advertising on the grounds the use is inconsistent with Gateway’s brand guidelines, will damage or dilute the value of, or reputation associated with, the Licensed Marks or is inconsistent with the purpose of this Agreement. Gateway shall not unreasonably withhold approval and shall exercise its approval rights in good faith.
2.8 Interest in Licensed Marks. MPC acknowledges that it has no interest in the Licensed Marks other than the limited license granted under this Agreement and that Gateway will remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Marks. MPC agrees that Licensee’s use of the Licensed Marks and any goodwill associated in the Licensed Marks resulting from Licensee’s use will inure solely to the benefit of Gateway and will not create any right, title or interest of Licensee in the Licensed Marks. If MPC uses, registers or applies to register any ▇▇▇▇ in violation of its obligations under this Agreement, MPC agrees, upon Licensor’s request, immediately to cease the use of that ▇▇▇▇ and to assign to Gateway all Licensee’s rights in that ▇▇▇▇, including any application or registration for that ▇▇▇▇.
2.8.1 Representations Regarding Gateway or Licensed Marks. MPC shall not represent or imply that Licensee is in fact Gateway, or is a part of Gateway. MPC shall not represent or imply that it holds any ownership interest in the Licensed Marks. MPC shall not challenge Gateway’s ownership of the Licensed Marks, use any trademarks, service marks, trade names or logos confusingly similar to the Licensed Marks, or register any trademarks, service marks, trade names or logos identical or confusingly similar to the Licensed Marks in any jurisdiction, whether in its own name or otherwise. MPC shall acquire no rights by implication, estoppel or otherwise, except as expressly granted herein. All rights not expressly granted to MPC are reserved for Gateway.
2.8.2 Protection and Enforcement of Rights in the Marks. Licensee admits the validity of, and agrees not to challenge the Licensed Marks or Gateway’s ownership of the Licensed Marks. Gateway shall have the exclusive right to enforce Gateway’s rights in the Licensed Marks as Gateway believes is necessary in its sole discretion, with MPC’s reasonable cooperation.
1
2.9 Representations Regarding Warranty Support. MPC shall inform customers purchasing Gateway-branded Products from MPC that MPC, not Gateway, will be providing all customer service and support, including technical and warranty support (“Customer Support”). MPC shall not represent or imply that Gateway will provide or will be in any way responsible for Customer Support to MPC customers purchasing Gateway-branded Products from MPC. Any information on the outside of, on packaging for, or within the software loaded on any Gateway-branded Product sold by MPC shall specifically state that Gateway is not to be contacted for Customer Support, in each case no later than the date that is (i) two weeks after the Effective Date, in the case of written materials, documentation and information contained on the outside of or on packaging for any Gateway-branded Product sold by MPC and (ii) four weeks after the Effective Date, in the case of information within the software loaded on any Gateway-branded Product sold by MPC.
2.10 Disposal of Gateway-Branded Products. With respect to the disposal of Gateway-branded Products, MPC agrees to comply with all applicable environmental laws. MPC accepts full responsibility for, and agrees to pay, any fees, charges, taxes, penalties, fines or other costs incurred as the result of the disposal of Gateway-branded Products (“Environmental Fees”) sold by MPC. If Gateway pays Environmental Fees for which MPC is in whole or in part responsible, then MPC shall pay Gateway for its share immediately, but in no case later than 30 days after written notice from Gateway. In circumstances in which there is a dispute whether MPC or Gateway is responsible for all or any portion of an Environmental Fee, the parties agree to negotiate a resolution of the dispute in good faith.
2.11 IP License Fees and Royalties. In licensing MPC to use the Licensed Marks on Licensed Products, Gateway is not thereby agreeing to pay or become responsible for license fees and royalties for which MPC is or may become liable in manufacturing, importing or selling Licensed Products. MPC agrees that it shall be responsible for any and all license fees and royalties for which MPC may become liable.

3. |
Limited License to Gateway’s Product Designs and Shared Tooling |
3.1 License to Proprietary Designs and Shared Tooling. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Article 3, Gateway hereby grants to MPC, during the Term of this Agreement and solely within the Territory, a non-exclusive, non-transferrable, non-sublicenseable, royalty-free license to use Gateway’s Proprietary Designs and the Shared Tooling.
3.2 Use of Proprietary Designs and Shared Tooling. During the Term of this Agreement, MPC may use the Proprietary Designs and Shared Tooling for Licensed Products, consistent with the trademark license in Article 2 above, and for MPC-branded Products. MPC shall not use the Proprietary Designs or the Shared Tooling for third-party branded Products, even if those Products have been manufactured or assembled by MPC or at MPC’s direction. MPC shall not use the Proprietary Designs or the Shared Tooling for Products to be sold directly or indirectly to consumers or to any retailer or direct market reseller.
1
3.3 Modification of Shared Tooling. MPC shall not modify or seek to modify the Shared Tooling without first obtaining Gateway’s written consent. Gateway may in good faith reject any proposed modification, including, but not limited to, modifications that may cause potential disruption to Gateway’s business.
3.4 Capacity Constraints. Certain Products for which Shared Tooling will be used (“Shared Products”) are available from suppliers in limited quantities and may be subject to capacity constraints. If, at any time, Gateway’s and MPC’s combined demand for a Shared Product exceeds the amount available from the supplier, then the supply of that Shared Product will be allocated eighty percent (80%) to Gateway and twenty percent (20%) to MPC (“Allocated Percentages”). However, if a Party’s demand for the Shared Product is less than its Allocated Percentage, then the difference between its demand and its Allocated Percentage shall go to the other Party.
3.5 Interest in Proprietary Designs and Shared Tooling. MPC acknowledges that it has no interest in the Proprietary Designs and Shared Tooling, other than the limited license granted under this Agreement and that Gateway will remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Proprietary Designs and the Shared Tooling. MPC will use commercially-reasonable efforts to protect Gateway’s proprietary interests and intellectual property rights in the Proprietary Designs and Shared Tooling.
3.6 Claims Arising from Use of Proprietary Designs and Shared Tooling. MPC acknowledges and understands that Gateway assumes no liability, risk or costs arising from or associated with MPC’s use of the Proprietary Designs or Shared Tooling, including, but not limited to, the risk that the Proprietary Designs or Shared Tooling or the Products assembled or manufactured therefrom, infringe the patents of a third party, are defective or are lacking in quality or performance. Gateway shall not be liable to MPC for any claim for damages arising from or associated with MPC’s use of the Proprietary Designs or Shared Tooling, including, but not limited to, claims for indemnification or claims for general, special, incidental or consequential damages.
3.7 Return of Proprietary Designs on Termination. Within thirty (30) days of the termination of this Agreement, MPC agrees, unless otherwise directed by Gateway in writing, to return to Gateway all Proprietary Design information and documentation provided to MPC under this Agreement, including plans, drawings, sketches and other design information.

To the extent permitted by Section 5 of the License Agreement between Active English Information Systems, Inc. and Gateway, dated May 18, 2001 (the “Active English Agreement”), and the provisions therein applying to “the sale or transfer ... of an entire line of business,” Gateway grants MPC a limited assignment of the license granted under the Active English Agreement to make, use, sell, import or offer for sale Licensed Products under this Agreement.

In the event MPC does not correct or eliminate the breach within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such notice, this Agreement, including the licenses to use the Licensed Marks and Proprietary Designs, shall terminate automatically.

This Agreement and the licenses granted herein shall terminate automatically if any of the following shall occur: (i) MPC dissolves, liquidates or ceases business; (ii) MPC is insolvent; (iii) MPC files a petition for bankruptcy protection, is bankrupt or otherwise seeks relief under or pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute or proceeding; (iv) if a petition in bankruptcy is filed against MPC and is not discharged within sixty (60) days thereafter; (v) if MPC makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (vi) if a custodian, receiver or trustee is appointed for MPC or for a substantial portion of MPC’s business or assets and such appointment is not discharged within sixty (60) days thereafter.

6.7 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement or the Asset Purchase Agreement, MPC shall discontinue immediately any and all uses of the Licensed Marks or the Proprietary Designs.

7. |
