2.3. Grant of General Transitional License for the ITT Marks (other than in connection with Legacy Products). Subject to the terms and conditions herein, ITTME grants to Exelis and its Covered Affiliates (those Covered Affiliates in subsections (i) and (iii) only) a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up, non-assignable (subject to Section 6.1), and non-sublicensable (subject to Section 2.8) license to use the ITT Marks as Source Indicators solely in connection with the operation, advertisement, marketing and promotion of the Defense Business in a manner consistent with Exelis and such Covered Affiliates’ use of such ITT Marks prior to the Distribution Date, solely for the following purposes and solely until the end of each time periods below. Exelis and its Covered Affiliates acknowledge that the licenses in this Section

2.3 are transitional in nature, and that Exelis and its Covered Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transition away from substantially all of the following uses of the ITT Marks promptly after the Distribution Date.

(b) Except as permitted under the licenses of Sections 2.1 and 2.2, Exelis must remove (or cause to be removed) all uses of ITT Marks as Source Indicators from all of its and its Covered Affiliates’ websites and electronic media that are promoted to third parties and under Exelis’s or its Covered Affiliates’ possession or control within one-hundred-eighty (180) days after the Distribution Date and the use of ITT as part of the name of substantially invisible internal servers shall be ceased within a commercially reasonable time period not to exceed eighteen (18) months from the Distribution Date;

ARTICLE 3 — QUALITY CONTROL/OWNERSHIP/ENFORCEMENT

3.1. Quality Control. Exelis shall use the ITT Marks solely: (i) in good faith, in a dignified manner and in accordance with good trademark practice in all applicable countries and jurisdictions and (ii) in connection with activities, products, and services that reflect favorably upon the high levels of quality associated with ITT’s operation of the ITT business prior to the Distribution Date. ITTME agrees that, in view of the Parties’ status immediately prior to the Distribution Date as part of one corporate organization, each Party’s knowledge of standards and procedures for ensuring consistent quality and Exelis’s history of providing high-quality goods and services, ITTME accepts Exelis’s Current use of the ITT Marks and adherence to Current standards of quality as satisfying this Section 3.1(i) and (ii). With respect to its use of the ITT Marks under the transitional license of Section 2.3, Exelis agrees to use the ITT Marks in accordance with all style, use, advertising, website and similar guidelines provided by ITTME, provided that ITTME shall not impose any burdens upon Exelis that are inconsistent with or disproportionate to those practices employed by ITT and its own Affiliates. Exelis and its Covered Affiliates shall not take any action (or fail to take any action) that harms or jeopardizes the value, validity or goodwill of the ITT brand. ITTME agrees that Exelis’s use of the ITT Marks as of the Distribution Date complies with this Section 3.1.

3.2. Compliance with Laws. Exelis shall (i) use all commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable statutes, laws, regulations, rules and good industry practice (“Laws”) wherever it uses any ITT Marks and (ii) use all notices and legends required by applicable Laws and/or that are reasonably requested by ITTME so as to preserve and maintain the validity of and ITTME’s rights in the ITT Marks, provided that any notice requirements of ITTME shall not (x) impose any burdens upon Exelis that are inconsistent with or disproportionate to those employed by ITT and its own Affiliates and/or (y) confuse consumers as to the Parties’ non-affiliation after the Distribution Date, and/or (z) be inconsistent with any US Government regulations or requirements.

3.3. Ownership/No Contest. Exelis acknowledges and agrees that, as between the Parties, ITTME owns all right, title, and interest in the ITT Marks. Exelis will not challenge or contest such ownership or the validity of any ITT Marks, including in any claim, dispute, action, suit, arbitration, inquiry or proceeding (“Action”). Exelis shall be considered a “related company” under Section 5 of the U.S. Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1055, such that its use of the ITT Marks and the goodwill generated thereby shall inure to the sole benefit of ITTME. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Exelis is deemed to have any ownership rights in the ITT Marks, at ITTME’s request, Exelis shall cause such rights to be assigned to ITTME or its designee for no consideration.

3.4. New Registrations by Exelis. If Exelis wishes to request ITTME to apply for a new registration for (i) an ITT Mark in the Defense Business in any additional country or jurisdiction and/or (ii) in connection with new products or services in the Defense Business (in each case, a “New Mark”), Exelis shall notify ITTME in writing, and the Parties will negotiate in good faith to establish appropriate procedures and coverage of costs associated with such New Marks. Neither Party shall file to register the Unified Brand Name as a Source Indicator without the other Party’s prior written consent.

3.5. Enforcement. During the License Term, each Party shall promptly notify the other Party after it becomes aware of any actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other unauthorized use (“Infringement”) of the ITT Marks in connection with the Defense Business. ITTME will be responsible for enforcement of the ITT Marks, and shall pay for all enforcement, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties for any specific matters. The parties anticipate that ITTME and/or ITT Corporation will continue to protect the ITT Marks with the same level of care historically used but in no event less than commercially reasonable standard of care. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith in all Actions brought pursuant to this Section 3.5 with Exelis providing reasonable assistance (without being required to incur out-of-pocket costs) with respect to such enforcement and the Parties shall keep each other informed of all material developments relating thereto. The Parties will fully cooperate to enforce the Unified Brand Name against infringement or dilution by third parties.

3.6. Cooperation. During the License Term and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, Exelis and its Covered Affiliates shall, upon the request of ITTME, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide free of charge and without undue delay, evidence of use of the ITT Marks that may be reasonably required to support the maintenance or renewal of relevant trademark registrations and/or defend ITT Marks against challenges for lack of use (e.g., copies of sales & marketing material, customer invoices and shipping documents); provided that if Exelis no longer desires to store such materials for a product line after the Term it may notify ITTME of the same and deliver (at Exelis’s cost) electronic media samples of such materials to ITTME and upon acknowledgment by ITTME of receipt of such materials, and the obligations of this Section 3.6 for this product line shall cease thereafter.
