For avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) any use by Spielberg Entity or any Sublicensee of the word “DreamWorks” (whether in word mark or logo or design mark form) must be accompanied by the word “Pictures,” except that Holding Company may use the animated DREAMWORKS SKG and Design logo without the “Pictures” component (the “Preexisting Animated Logo”) in the same form and context that the Prior Holding Company used such animated logo under the Prior Agreement; (ii) any use by Spielberg Entity or any Sublicensee of the word “DreamWorks” (whether in word mark or logo or design mark form) must be accompanied by the letter string “SKG,” except for the specific word mark uses of the Non-SKG Logo expressly permitted under this Paragraph 2(a); and (iii) neither Spielberg Entity nor any Sublicensee shall have the right to use the Non-SKG Mark in any context(s) in which the former DreamWorks Studios generally used a trademark, service mark or trade name incorporating both “DreamWorks” and “SKG” in the ordinary course of business prior to the effective date of the Prior Agreement.

The right

 

12


and license granted to Spielberg Entity hereunder shall be non-exclusive in all other respects, including as to all other Licensed Goods and Licensed Services. As set forth above, the license granted to Spielberg Entity hereunder includes the right to use and sublicense Holding Company to use the Licensed Marks outside the DWA Registered Territory; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this License Agreement or otherwise, DWA’s obligations hereunder with respect to the Licensed Marks, including DWA’s obligations with respect to maintenance and enforcement of the Licensed Marks and DWA’s indemnification obligations, shall apply only to use in the DWA Registered Territory within the DWA Registered Trademark Rights, and any other use or sublicensing of the Licensed Marks by Spielberg Entity, including any use or sublicensing outside the DWA Registered Territory, shall be at Spielberg Entity’s sole risk. For avoidance of doubt, Spielberg Entity may also permit (directly or through Holding Company) Reliance, EOne, Participant and Universal (as defined in Paragraph 2(f)) to display the Licensed Marks to reference Holding Company in connection with accurate descriptions of Holding Company’s relationship with and among Reliance’s , EOne’s, Participant’s, and Universal’s corporate documentation and corporate publicity including, without limitation, each parties’ contracts, annual reports, and communications to shareholders and the general business community, and on the sections of each parties’ general corporate website(s) devoted to partner/alliance relationships; provided that, (x) for avoidance of doubt, none of Reliance, EOne, Participant or Universal shall have any right to use any Licensed Mark as a trademark or service mark, or as a trade name other than in reference to Holding Company, and Universal shall have only those rights with respect to the Licensed Marks expressly granted under the Universal Distribution Agreement, and (y) Spielberg Entity shall ensure (and shall require Holding Company to ensure) that all display of Licensed Marks by each such party shall

 

13


be in the same manner (including with respect to size, prominence and placement) as that used for Reliance’s, EOne’s, Participant’s and Universal’s display of other partner trade names and logos.

(b) Except for Spielberg Entity’s exclusivity as expressly set forth above with respect to use of the specific Licensed Marks containing the word “Pictures” for certain Licensed Goods and Licensed Services, DWA shall retain the right to use and license any DreamWorks Marks for any purpose and in connection with any goods and services (including, without limitation, all Motion Pictures and related goods and services). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, DWA agrees not to (i) during the six (6) month period immediately following the Effective Date (the “Phase-out Period”), use a trademark that combines the word “DreamWorks” with the word “Studios” in a manner that would have been prohibited under the Prior License Agreement; or (ii) use the Preexisting Animated Logo for any purpose during the Term. Notwithstanding the requirement under this Agreement that all use by Holding Company of the word “DreamWorks” must be accompanied by the word “Pictures” (other than use of the Pre-existing Animated Logo), the Holding Company Sublicense may permit Holding Company to continue, only during the Phase-out Period, to use the domain name dreamworksstudios.com for Holding Company’s website and to display the name “DreamWorks Studios” on such website in the same form and manner as previously displayed under the Prior License Agreement in order to enable Holding Company to make an orderly transition to the Licensed Domain Name and Licensed Marks as contemplated by this License Agreement. Spielberg Entity shall ensure that Holding Company does not use “DreamWorks Studios” or the dreamworksstudios.com domain name in any manner or for any purpose except as expressly permitted pursuant to the preceding sentence, and that Holding Company ceases all use of “DreamWorks Studios” (other than use of

 

14


the Pre-existing Animated Logo) and of the dreamworksstudios.com domain name as quickly as is technically feasible following the Effective Date and, in any event, by no later than the end of the Phase-out Period.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Spielberg Entity acknowledges and agrees that the rights granted to Spielberg Entity under this License Agreement are subject to the following preexisting rights of third parties (and that DWA shall not be in breach of any of its representations, warranties or other obligations under this License Agreement as a result of such preexisting rights): (i) any surviving rights granted to any third parties (including the Prior Holding Company, the Walt Disney Company or other Prior Sublicensees) under or pursuant to the Prior License Agreement or any Prior Sublicense, and (ii) Paramount Pictures Corporation, as DreamWorks LLC’s successor-in-interest as a result of Paramount Pictures Corporation’s purchase of DreamWorks LLC, shall have the right to use “DreamWorks” and/or the Licensed Marks as more fully set forth in the License Agreement dated as of October 27, 2004, between DreamWorks Animation LLC and DreamWorks LLC, including in connection with the Motion Pictures listed on Schedule F.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this License Agreement to the contrary, the right and license granted to Spielberg Entity hereunder does not include the right to (and Spielberg Entity shall not) use or sublicense any third party to use the Licensed Marks in connection with:

(i) any Video Game for any online platform (or any online functionality included in any other platform) that (A) permits ten (10) or more users (in the aggregate including all rooms, worlds and areas associated with such Video Game) in different physical locations to interact in real time using animated avatars in a virtual world, or (B) includes features of a persistent virtual world (i.e., a virtual world that continues to change and develop even while

 

15


some users are not playing, or where user-initiated changes to the virtual world or to a user’s avatar persist beyond one play session (i.e., a single period of uninterrupted play)), including, without limitation, any “massively multiplayer online game” or other persistent or partially-persistent online game or community (including, by way of example only and without limitation, games with interactive or persistent features or functionality similar to Second Life, World of Warcraft, Club Penguin or Webkinz) (collectively “Interactive/Persistent Online Games”) (provided that, for avoidance of doubt, clause (B) of this subsection (i) will not prohibit use or sublicensing of the Licensed Marks in connection with Video Games that permit the user to create an animated avatar which can be used more than once (such as the animated avatars users create to play Wii) as long as enhancements, add-ons or modifications made to such avatar during play do not persist beyond one play session; or

(ii) Video Games for any online platform that are not Interactive/Persistent Online Games (“Non-Interactive/Persistent Online Games”) except solely in connection with the promotion of Theatrical Exhibition of a Licensee Live-Action Motion Picture or Licensee Hybrid Motion Picture during the period commencing three (3) months before the initial Theatrical Exhibition of the Motion Picture and continuing through the initial video distribution window, but not longer than three (3) months after the initial home video (e.g., DVD, Blu-Ray disc) release of the Motion Picture; and provided further that Spielberg Entity may only use (or sublicense) the Licensed Marks in connection with (A) such Non-Interactive/Persistent Online Games on online platforms that are solely promotional and non-income-producing (except that the website that hosts the applicable Non-Interactive/Persistent Online Games may contain advertising), and (B) no more than two (2) Non-Interactive/Persistent Online Games for each Licensee Live-Action Motion Picture or Licensee Hybrid Motion Picture (provided that, for

 

16


avoidance of doubt, this subsection (ii) will not prohibit use or sublicensing of the Licensed Marks in connection with Video Games for non-online platforms that include an element of online functionality as long as such Video Games for non-online platforms are not Interactive/Persistent Online Games).

(e) Holdbacks. Spielberg Entity will ensure that Holding Company does not commence or authorize the commencement of the initial Theatrical Exhibition of any Similar Theatrical Motion Picture under any Licensed Marks in any territory during any Holdback Period in such territory. With respect to each DWA Event Picture, the “Holdback Period” in each applicable territory (i.e., in the Domestic Territory and in each International Territory) is the period commencing on the first day of the Weekend prior to the Release Date of such DWA Event Picture in such territory and continuing throughout and including the Weekend following such Release Date (e.g., if the DWA Event Picture is being released on a (i) Friday, then the Holdback Period commences two Wednesdays before such Friday and ends two Sundays after such Friday; (ii) Wednesday, then the Holdback Period commences on the Wednesday one week before such Wednesday and ends two Sundays after such Wednesday). In addition, Spielberg Entity will ensure that Holding Company does not commence or authorize the commencement of the initial Theatrical Exhibition of any Major Release under any Licensed Marks in any territory (i.e., in the Domestic Territory and in each International Territory) on the same Weekend as the Release Date for a DWA Event Picture in such territory. The holdback obligation described in the previous sentence is conditioned on DWA providing Spielberg Entity at least twelve (12) months’ prior notice of the scheduled Release Date for a DWA Event Picture in the Domestic Territory and each International Territory. If DWA changes a Release Date after the date that is twelve (12) months before the scheduled Release Date in the applicable territory and Holding

 

17


Company had already set the Release Date for one of its Motion Pictures to comply with this Paragraph 2(e) based on the Release Date originally set forth in DWA’s notice, Spielberg Entity shall not be obligated to require Holding Company to change such previously set Release Date to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph 2(e) based on DWA’s revised Release Date. In addition, Spielberg Entity agrees that it will ensure that Holding Company consults in good faith with DWA prior to scheduling the initial Theatrical Exhibition of a Motion Picture under any Licensed Marks that is rated “PG-13” (or a materially equivalent rating in the event of any changes to the ratings system) in the Domestic Territory and in each of the International Territories during the period one (1) Weekend on either side of the applicable Release Date of each DWA Event Picture in the Domestic Territory and in each of the International Territories, respectively; provided that, if Holding Company determines in its good faith business judgment after such consultation with DWA to proceed with the initial Theatrical Exhibition of such Motion Picture during such period, Spielberg Entity will not be deemed to have violated the provisions of this Paragraph 2(e). DWA acknowledges that in certain International Territories, such holdback restrictions may be inappropriate or impracticable to enforce due to differences in ratings’ categories and, accordingly, the parties will attempt to accomplish as closely as possible their agreement with respect to the holdback restrictions as set forth in this Paragraph 2(e) in any such International Territory, taking into account such differences in ratings’ categories.

(f) Sublicenses. Spielberg Entity shall have the right during the Term to sublicense, solely through a written sublicense, the rights with respect to the Licensed Marks granted under Paragraphs 2(a)(ii), 2(a)(iii) and 2(a)(iv) only to Holding Company (the “Holding Company Sublicense”). Spielberg Entity shall not have any right to sublicense the rights with respect to the Licensed Marks granted under Paragraph 2(a)(i). The Holding Company Sublicense must contain

 

18


terms and conditions substantially equivalent to the applicable terms and conditions of this License Agreement to protect the Licensed Marks and DWA’s rights. The Holding Company Sublicense shall be subject to DWA’s review and approval and Spielberg Entity shall not (and shall have no right to) enter into the Holding Company Sublicense unless and until DWA has given its approval in writing (not to be unreasonably withheld). Pursuant to the Holding Company Sublicense, Holding Company shall have the right to grant further sublicenses to (i) Universal Pictures (“Universal”) for the distribution of Motion Pictures worldwide; (ii) Reliance Big Entertainment Ltd. for distribution of Motion Pictures in India and the Reliance Expatriate Territory (but with respect to the Reliance Expatriate Territory only for Permitted Dubbed Versions); and (iii) the distributors listed in Schedule H in the applicable territories identified in Schedule H (the foregoing distributors collectively, the “Distributors,” and the foregoing distribution agreements collectively, the “Distribution Agreements”). Holding Company may also, with DWA’s prior written approval in each case, enter into additional distribution agreements that contain sublicenses of the Licensed Marks, and any such additional approved distribution agreements shall be included in “Distribution Agreements” for all purposes under this License Agreement. DWA has pre-approved Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, and Warner Brother as distributors for purposes of the preceding sentence. In addition, pursuant to the Holding Company Sublicense, Holding Company shall have the right to grant further sublicenses to consumer products and promotional partner sublicensees, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this License Agreement (each, a “Consumer Products Sublicense”). The Distribution Agreements and each and every Consumer Products Sublicense shall contain at least the terms set forth in Schedule D and shall otherwise comply with the terms of this License Agreement and the Holding Company Sublicense. Holding

 

19


Company (if it is granted a sublicense by Spielberg Entity) and all sublicensees of Holding Company are referred to in this License Agreement, individually and collectively, as “Sublicensees,” and the Holding Company Sublicense and all sublicenses granted by Holding Company (including the Distribution Agreements and Consumer Products Sublicenses) are referred to in this License Agreement, individually and collectively, as “Sublicenses.” Without limitation of the foregoing, each and every Sublicense shall automatically terminate (except for the permitted continued use of the Licensed Marks as expressly set forth in Paragraph 3(c) below) upon any termination or expiration of this License Agreement. Any changes to the Holding Company Sublicense approved by DWA, or any deviation from the terms set forth in Schedule D, shall require DWA’s prior written consent, including, without limitation, any changes to the provisions in any Sublicense related to automatic termination of such Sublicense. Spielberg Entity agrees that the maximum length of the term of each Consumer Products Sublicense shall be consistent with and no longer than the average length of the terms of the sublicense agreements (including any mandatory extensions thereof, if any) actually entered into by the prior DreamWorks LLC under the 2004 License Agreement in connection with the same or similar Licensed Goods. Spielberg Entity agrees that each Sublicensee shall be a reputable company capable of performing the Licensed Services and/or producing the Licensed Goods bearing the Licensed Marks under its Sublicense of the same general level of quality as under license agreements between DWA and third parties prior to the Effective Date of this License Agreement. Spielberg Entity shall provide DWA with the names and addresses of all Sublicensees and the subject matter of each Sublicense. At DWA’s request, Spielberg Entity shall provide DWA a copy of each Sublicense promptly following execution. Spielberg Entity shall ensure that its Sublicensees comply with the terms of all Sublicenses, and any breach of a

 

20


Sublicense by a Sublicensee shall be deemed a breach by Spielberg Entity of this License Agreement. DWA shall be an express third party beneficiary of all Sublicenses with respect to the provisions of such Sublicenses related to the Licensed Marks and shall have the right to enforce such provisions of all Sublicenses to the same extent as if DWA were a party to such Sublicenses. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Spielberg Entity or Holding Company becomes aware that any Consumer Products Sublicensee has materially breached any provision of the applicable Consumer Products Sublicense related to the Licensed Marks, Spielberg Entity shall promptly issue (or, as applicable, cause Holding Company to issue) a thirty (30) day termination notice to such Sublicensee, and if such Sublicensee does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days of such notice, Spielberg Entity shall (or, as applicable, shall cause Holding Company to) immediately terminate the applicable Consumer Products Sublicense. In the event that Spielberg Entity or Holding Company becomes aware that any Distributor has materially breached the terms of any Distribution Agreement related to the Licensed Marks, Spielberg Entity shall promptly issue (or cause Holding Company to issue) a notice to such Distributor specifying such breach and take appropriate steps to enforce the terms of the applicable Distribution Agreement and protect the Licensed Marks. If such Distributor does not cure such breach of the Distribution Agreement within thirty (30) days of such notice, Spielberg Entity shall (or shall cause Holding Company to) either immediately terminate such Distributor’s right to use the Licensed Marks, suspend such Distributor’s right to use the Licensed Marks until such time as the breach is cured, or meet in person with such Distributor in order to resolve such Distributor’s non-compliance. If such Distributor still has not cured the breach of the Distribution Agreement within sixty (60) days of the original notice, Spielberg Entity shall (or shall cause Holding Company to) either immediately terminate such

 

21


Distributor’s right to use the Licensed Marks or suspend such Distributor’s right to use the Licensed Marks until such time as the breach is cured. If such Distributor still has not cured the breach of the Distribution Agreement within ninety (90) days of the original notice, Spielberg Entity shall (or shall cause Holding Company to) immediately terminate such Distributor’s right to use the Licensed Marks. Except as expressly set forth in this Paragraph 2(f), Spielberg Entity and Holding Company shall have no right to sublicense any of the rights or licenses granted under this License Agreement, and any attempt by Spielberg Entity or Holding Company to grant a Sublicense other than as expressly permitted by this Paragraph 2(f) shall be void and shall convey no rights to the purported Sublicensee with respect to the Licensed Marks.

(g) Additions to DWA Registered Territory. This License Agreement shall be automatically amended to add jurisdictions to the DWA Registered Territory (with respect to the Licensed Goods and the Licensed Services for which DWA obtains trademark registrations in the applicable jurisdictions only) in the event that DWA obtains trademark registrations for the Licensed Marks through new registrations. Spielberg Entity may request in writing DWA’s agreement to amend the Licensed Goods in Schedule B to add goods and such agreement will not be unreasonably withheld (provided that Spielberg Entity agrees that it will not be unreasonable for DWA to withhold DWA’s agreement to add (i) any goods related to Animated Motion Pictures, (ii) any goods not based on and featuring as the primary element of ornamentation and/or design scenes and/or characters from Licensee Live-Action Motion Pictures or Licensee Hybrid Motion Pictures, or (iii) any goods with respect to which DWA has granted or commenced preparations to grant a license to use any Licensed Marks to a third party on an exclusive basis). Upon any amendment, Spielberg Entity may cause all pertinent Sublicenses to be amended to reflect any additions to Schedules A and/or B.

 

22


(h) Spielberg Exclusivity. During the Term, Spielberg agrees to be exclusive to DWA with respect to the development, production, distribution and/or other exploitation (including, without limitation, Spielberg’s personal directing, producing, writing, etc. services) of Animated Motion Pictures (other than Motion Pictures based on the “Tintin” stories and characters created by the author Hergé, or television series based on the “Animaniacs” animated television series that aired from 1993-1998 and was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and Amblin Entertainment), provided, however, that Spielberg may render direction, production, writing or similar services with respect to an Animated Motion Picture fully-funded by Spielberg and/or a third party only (a “Spielberg Animated Picture”), so long as such Spielberg Animated Picture is exclusive to DWA with respect to all distribution and/or other exploitation. Spielberg and/or Spielberg Entity may approach DWA for funding for an Animated Motion Picture, but regardless of whether Spielberg and/or Spielberg Entity approaches DWA for such funding, during the Term, neither Spielberg nor Spielberg Entity will (i) take such Animated Motion Picture to or set up such Animated Motion Picture with another person or entity, or (ii) unless otherwise agreed by DWA in writing, render any services on such Animated Motion Picture except in the event it is fully-funded by Spielberg and/or a third party only as a Spielberg Animated Picture as described in the immediately preceding sentence. If Spielberg or Spielberg Entity delivers (as such term is customarily understood with respect to distribution in the entertainment industry) a fully-financed and completed Spielberg Animated Picture to DWA, DWA agrees to release such Animated Motion Picture on terms to be negotiated in good faith by the parties subject to any then-existing DWA distribution arrangement(s) with a third party(ies) which are deemed pre-approved by Spielberg and Spielberg Entity; provided, however, that if

 

23


the parties do not or cannot agree on such terms, such Spielberg Animated Picture will not be distributed in any manner during the Term.

(i) Spielberg Entity acknowledges that DWA has pre-existing contractual arrangements with its third party strategic partners Intel and Hewlett-Packard that may limit DWA’s ability to license the Licensed Marks to Spielberg Entity, and to permit Spielberg Entity to grant Sublicenses with respect to the Licensed Marks, for certain uses, as described in Schedule G. Spielberg Entity hereby agrees that the rights and license granted to Spielberg Entity under this License Agreement shall be subject to the terms of DWA’s pre-existing contractual arrangements with its strategic partners as described in Schedule G, including any extensions and renewals of such arrangements (and that DWA shall not be in breach of any of its representations, warranties or other obligations under this License Agreement as a result of such pre-existing contractual arrangements). In the event that Spielberg Entity or any Sublicensee wishes to use any Licensed Marks for any Licensed Good or Licensed Service in a manner that would conflict with DWA’s pre-existing contractual arrangements, DWA will use reasonable commercial efforts to assist Spielberg Entity to secure permission for such use from the applicable third party strategic partner.

 

  3. Termination, Etc.

(a) The Term of this License Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless terminated sooner pursuant to Paragraph 3(b), shall continue thereafter until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date. This License Agreement may be renewed only by mutual written agreement of the parties.

(b) This License Agreement may be terminated in its entirety by Spielberg Entity at any time upon notice to DWA. This License Agreement may be terminated in its entirety by DWA (i) immediately upon notice to Spielberg Entity in the event of a material breach by

25


is no longer managed by an entity controlled, directly or indirectly, by Spielberg (which management includes authority over all business and operations of The Amblin Group, LLC, reporting only to the Board of Directors of The Amblin Group, LLC), (E) The Amblin’ Group, LLC is no longer owned by entities all of the voting ownership of which is held, directly or indirectly, by Spielberg, (F) any of Storyteller Production Co., LLC, Storyteller Development Co., LLC, Storyteller Distribution Co., LLC, or Storyteller Financial Services Co., LLC is no longer solely and wholly owned and controlled by Storyteller Holding Co., LLC, (G) Spielberg-Owned Entities cease to beneficially own a larger portion of the equity interest in Storyteller Holding Co., LLC than does any other entity or person (or affiliated group of entities or persons), (H) Spielberg-Owned Entities cease to beneficially own at least thirty-five percent (35%) of the outstanding equity interests of Storyteller Holding Co., LLC, (I) any entity or person (or affiliated group of entities or persons) other than Spielberg-Owned Entities, Participant, Reliance or EOne becomes the beneficial owner of ten percent (10%) or greater equity interest in Storyteller Holding Co., LLC without the prior written approval of DWA, or (J) any of Reliance, EOne or Participant ceases to be an operating entity with ongoing business activities in addition to and separate from its investment in and activities related to Holding Company; or (viii) immediately upon notice to Spielberg Entity if any of the following occurs: (A) any Licensee-Related Entity (other than Reliance, Participant or EOne) files any petition under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws, (B) any involuntary petition under any bankruptcy or similar statute is filed against any Licensee-Related Entity (other than Reliance, Participant or EOne) or a receiver or trustee is appointed to take possession of all or a substantial part of any Licensee-Related Entity’s (other than Reliance,s, Participant’s or EOne’s) assets, (C) any Licensee-Related Entity (other than Reliance, Participant or EOne) makes a general assignment

 

26


for the benefit of creditors or becomes unable to meet its obligations as they mature, or (D) any Licensee-Related Entity’s (other than Reliance’s, Participant’s or EOne’s) financial condition becomes such as to materially impair or to be reasonably likely to materially impair its performance in accordance with the terms and conditions of this License Agreement. Spielberg Entity shall promptly provide written notice to DWA of the occurrence of an event set forth in this Paragraph 3(b)(iv) through (viii). In addition, if the parties mutually agree to renew this License Agreement following the expiration of the initial three (3) year term, then DWA will have the right to terminate the License Agreement at any time following such renewal upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to Spielberg Entity. In the event of termination of this License Agreement in its entirety by DWA under this Paragraph, all Sublicenses shall automatically terminate by their terms as required by Paragraph 2(f) above (other than as expressly set forth in Paragraph 3(c)), Spielberg Entity will cease (and will cause all Sublicensees to cease) all further use of the Licensed Marks except as expressly permitted hereunder, and Spielberg Entity will take such steps (and cause Holding Company to take such steps) as are necessary to change its corporate names and trade names to ones that do not include any Licensed Mark, to cease use of any domain names containing any Licensed Mark, and to delete all listings of its corporate names and trade names in directories, databases, indices, and other public and private listings, all as soon after termination as commercially possible. In the event that the License Agreement expires pursuant to Paragraph 3(a) or terminates because DWA exercised its right to terminate pursuant to this Paragraph 3(b) other than for Spielberg Entity’s material breach pursuant to any of Paragraphs 3(b)(ii)-(iv) (a “Non-Breach Termination”), DWA agrees that Holding Company or Holding Company’s successor(s)-in-interest may use the Licensed Marks in connection with Completed Films, but only in the manner set forth in Paragraph 3(c) below, and provided that,

 

27


notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this License Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that there shall not be more than thirty (30) Completed Films in the aggregate.

(c) Following any Non-Breach Termination, and subject to all of Spielberg Entity’s obligations under this License Agreement and Holding Company’s obligations under the Holding Company Sublicense, Holding Company may (i) continue to exercise the rights and licenses granted under the Holding Company Sublicense to use the Licensed Marks in connection with any of the following activities, to the extent such activities are included in Licensed Services: (1) distributing or exhibiting any Completed Film; (2) releasing or re-releasing any Completed Film; (3) editing any Completed Film for television Exhibition, DVD Exhibition, or Exhibition in any other media, now known or hereafter developed, or for purposes of territorial distribution, and dubbing or sub-titling any Completed Film into a different language, or for reasons of public taste, or for legal reasons, including but not limited to a claim or the threat of a claim that such Completed Film without such editing might infringe the rights of any third party, and then releasing, distributing, and exhibiting such edited Completed Film; (4) using the Licensed Marks for attribution purposes only, solely to the extent necessary to indicate the fact that such Completed Film was produced and/or distributed by Holding Company, or (5) using and authorizing the use of phrases such as “Based on the Film             Produced [or Presented] by DreamWorks Pictures” for attribution purposes only, solely to the extent required to indicate the relationship between a Completed Film and any sequel to or remake of a Completed Film, and provided that no Licensed Marks are used in connection with such sequel or remake other than as required to indicate such relationship; (ii) for a period of six (6) months after the date of expiration or termination (the “Tail Period”), continue to enter into Consumer Products Sublicenses with respect to Licensed Goods based on and featuring as the

 

28


primary element of ornamentation and/or design scenes and/or characters from a Completed Film; and (iii) for the remainder of the then-current term (without any extension or renewal) of any Consumer Products Sublicenses entered into during the Term of this License Agreement or during the Tail Period, continue to distribute, advertise and promote Licensed Goods pursuant to such Sublicenses. Except as expressly set forth in this Paragraph 3(c), following any termination or expiration of this License Agreement, Spielberg Entity and Holding Company shall immediately cease and cause their respective Sublicensees to cease all use of the Licensed Marks, including, without limitation, all Exhibition of Motion Pictures under the Licensed Marks, all sales and distribution of any goods or services under the Licensed Marks, and all use of any domain names containing any Licensed Marks. The following sections of this License Agreement shall survive any termination or expiration: 1, 3(c), 6(a)-(e), 9(c), 9(d), 10 and 11. In addition, (A) all limitations, restrictions and other terms of this Agreement applicable to Spielberg Entity’s or any Sublicensee’s continued use of any Licensed Marks after expiration or termination pursuant to this Paragraph 3(c) shall survive during the period of such continued use, and (B) Spielberg Entity shall remain responsible for enforcing the provisions of any Sublicenses applicable to the Licensed Marks to the extent that such provisions survive the termination or expiration of such Sublicenses.

 

  4. Attribution Notice; Usage Guidelines.

Spielberg Entity agrees that in connection with any use of the Licensed Marks under this License Agreement, it will comply with, and will cause all Sublicensees to comply with, such usage guidelines regarding the use and display of the Licensed Marks, including, without limitation, with respect to notices regarding DWA’s ownership of the Licensed Marks, as DWA may reasonably require from time to time (provided that any changes that DWA makes to its

 

29


usage guidelines in effect as of the Effective Date will be reasonable and will not materially impair Holding Company’s or its Sublicensees’ use of the Licensed Marks). Without limitation of Paragraph 2(f), Spielberg Entity agrees that it will include (and will cause Holding Company to include) in any Sublicense a requirement that all Sublicensees will comply with such guidelines and use such notices as may be reasonably required by DWA.

 

  5. Further Assurances, Etc.

(a) DWA shall take such steps as DWA determines are reasonably necessary under the laws of the various jurisdictions in the DWA Registered Territory, as the DWA Registered Territory may be amended from time to time in the manner set forth in Paragraph 2(g), to record this License Agreement, at DWA’s sole expense, in order to facilitate Holding Company’s and the other Sublicensees’ use of the Licensed Marks and enable DWA to enforce the Licensed Marks. If Spielberg Entity or Holding Company has a bona fide intent to use or grant a Sublicense to use the Licensed Marks in a particular jurisdiction where applicable law requires recordal of trademark license agreements and DWA has not previously recorded this License Agreement in such jurisdiction, then Spielberg Entity may request that DWA record the License Agreement in such jurisdiction, and DWA will not unreasonably refuse such request. DWA shall have no obligation to record this License Agreement in any jurisdiction outside the DWA Registered Territory.

(b) Spielberg Entity will (and will require its Sublicensees to) execute such documents and to take such steps, at Spielberg Entity’s sole expense, including, without limitation, by making available to DWA and its counsel documents, information, and witnesses, as may be required by DWA to perfect, confirm, acknowledge, or record this License Agreement

 

30


in any jurisdiction, to enforce the Licensed Marks as provided in Paragraph 8 below, or otherwise to effectuate the purposes of this License Agreement.

 

  6. Acknowledgment of DWA’s Ownership of Licensed Marks, Etc.

(a) Spielberg Entity acknowledges and agrees that DWA owns all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Marks throughout the world, that Spielberg Entity will acquire no ownership interest in or to the Licensed Marks under this License Agreement, and that Spielberg Entity’s interest in the Licensed Marks is limited solely to the license interest conferred by the license expressly granted under this License Agreement. There are no implied licenses under this License Agreement. Spielberg Entity further acknowledges and agrees that all uses of the Licensed Marks by it under this License Agreement and by all Sublicensees under all Sublicenses inure and shall inure to the benefit of DWA and that all goodwill in the Licensed Marks is and shall be owned by DWA.

(b) Spielberg Entity agrees that it will not file, and that it will cause all Sublicensees not to file, any applications to register any Licensed Marks, or any other mark that consists of, colorably imitates, or is confusingly similar to any of the Licensed Marks or any other DreamWorks Marks, in the DWA Registered Territory or in any jurisdiction outside the DWA Registered Territory. Spielberg Entity agrees that it will not register, and that it will cause all Sublicensees not to register, any domain name that includes any Licensed Marks or that consists of, colorably imitates, or is confusingly similar to any of the Licensed Marks or any other DreamWorks Marks, in the DWA Registered Territory or elsewhere in the world.

(c) Spielberg Entity agrees that, except as specifically permitted hereunder, it will make no use, and will cause all Sublicensees to make no use, of any mark that consists of,

 

31


colorably imitates, or is confusingly similar to, any of the Licensed Marks or any other DreamWorks Marks.

(d) Spielberg Entity agrees that it will not challenge, or assist any third party, including, without limitation, any Sublicensee, to challenge, the validity of the Licensed Marks or any other DreamWorks Marks or DWA’s ownership thereof or the enforceability of DWA’s rights therein. Spielberg Entity agrees that it will include in each Sublicense a provision that each Sublicensee will not challenge, or assist any third party to challenge, the validity of the Licensed Marks.

(e) Spielberg Entity agrees that it will not, and will cause all Sublicensees not to, alter or modify any Licensed Marks, or combine any Licensed Marks with any other trademark in a manner that creates or may reasonably be deemed to create a composite mark.

(f) Without limitation of anything else in this Paragraph 6, Spielberg Entity shall not, and shall cause its Sublicensees not to, use or display any Licensed Mark with any Illumination Brand, including, without limitation, by using or displaying any Licensed Mark on or in any product, advertising or marketing material, packaging or label, signage or display on or in which any Illumination Brand also appears. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Spielberg Entity may permit Holding Company or Universal (if Universal is a sublicensee) to display: (i) Illumination Brand and Licensed Marks (as otherwise permitted under this License Agreement) in presentation booklets and similar marketing materials used to offer both Universal Motion Pictures (including Illumination Brand Motion Pictures) and Licensee Motion Pictures to buyers and potential buyers of such Motion Pictures; and (ii) Illumination Brand and Licensed Marks (as otherwise permitted under this License Agreement) on convention or tradeshow booth/suite

 

32


signage displayed at, and marketing materials distributed at, conventions or tradeshows where Universal showcases both Illumination Brand Motion Pictures and Licensee Motion Pictures.

 

  7. Quality Control.

(a) Spielberg Entity agrees to consult (and to cause Holding Company to consult) in good faith with DWA prior to the use of the Licensed Marks in connection with any Licensed Goods and Licensed Services. Without limitation of the foregoing, Spielberg Entity shall not (and shall cause Holding Company not to) use any Licensed Marks in connection with any Television Motion Pictures without DWA’s approval in advance in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. For avoidance of doubt, if DWA approves a television series, such approval shall apply to all episodes in such series, provided that the foregoing shall not limit Spielberg Entity’s or Holding Company’s quality control obligations with respect to all episodes in such series, nor shall it limit DWA’s rights to inspect and approve such quality as set forth in Paragraph 7(d).

(b) Spielberg Entity agrees that it will use, and will cause all Sublicensees to use, the Licensed Marks only in connection with Licensed Goods and Licensed Services of such quality as will protect and enhance the goodwill, image and reputation adhering to the Licensed Marks, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, of a quality at least equal to that of similar goods and services provided or sold by DWA and DWA’s other licensees. Licensed Goods and Licensed Services that are of a quality at least equal to that of similar goods and services provided or sold by DWA and DWA’s other licensees will be deemed to have met the foregoing quality requirement.

(c) Spielberg Entity agrees to conform its uses, and to cause all Sublicensees to conform their uses, of the Licensed Marks under this License Agreement to the usage guidelines

 

33


set forth in Schedule E attached hereto, which Schedule E may be amended by DWA from time to time through written notice to Spielberg Entity in the manner set forth in Paragraph 11(a) below (and provided that Spielberg Entity and its Sublicensees will be given a reasonable period of time in which to apply any such changes). In the event that Spielberg Entity wishes to use or permit any Sublicensee to use the Licensed Marks in a manner that deviates from the usage guidelines set forth in Schedule E attached hereto, Spielberg Entity shall seek approval from DWA in writing for such use.

(d) DWA shall have the right to inspect and approve the quality of all Licensed Goods and Licensed Services in connection with which Spielberg Entity or any Sublicenses uses any Licensed Marks, and Spielberg Entity shall not (and shall ensure that its Sublicensees do not) use any Licensed Mark in connection with any Licensed Goods or Licensed Services that have been disapproved by DWA. As requested by DWA, Spielberg Entity agrees to submit to DWA for review and approval a sample of any Licensed Goods in connection with which Spielberg Entity or any Sublicenses is using or intends to use any Licensed Marks, and a sample of any materials and information regarding any Licensed Services in connection with which Spielberg Entity or any Sublicensee is using or intends to use any Licensed Marks, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld by DWA. DWA’s failure to disapprove a sample in writing within 10 business days of receipt shall be deemed approval. DWA agrees to specify in writing the reasons for its disapproval of any such sample in the applicable disapproval notice. For avoidance of doubt, DWA’s inspection and approval rights as set forth in this Paragraph 7(d) are only to allow DWA to ensure that the Licensed Goods and Licensed Services meet the quality standards set forth in this License Agreement, and do not give DWA creative control over Holding Company’s Motion Pictures. In addition, Spielberg Entity and Holding Company will

 

34


not be required to submit Motion Pictures intended for initial Theatrical Exhibition for approval by DWA, [***].

(e) Spielberg Entity shall ensure that once DWA has approved any sample pursuant to Paragraph 7(d), the applicable Licensed Goods and Licensed Services will not thereafter materially deviate from the sample approved by DWA.

(f) Spielberg Entity shall, and shall cause each Sublicensee to, (a) conduct its business in accord with the highest business and ethical standards (provided that a Sublicensee shall be deemed to have satisfied this standard if it complies with standards at least equivalent to those that DWA requires of its own third party licensees), and in a manner that reflects positively on the Licensed Marks; (b) not derogate DWA’s rights in the Licensed Marks or the value of the Licensed Marks; (c) take no action that would interfere with, diminish or tarnish those rights or value; (d) not engage in any unfair, anticompetitive or unlawful business practices in connection with any use of the Licensed Marks or the manufacturing, sale, marketing and distribution of any Licensed Goods or the performance of any Licensed Services under the Licensed Marks; (e) not use the Licensed Marks or conduct its business in any manner that infringes or misappropriates any third party’s trademark, copyright, patent, trade secret, privacy or publicity right, or other intellectual property or proprietary right, or that is defamatory or obscene; and (f) comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, regulations, rules, and ordinances governing its business in connection with any use of the Licensed Marks or the manufacturing, sale, marketing and distribution of any Licensed Goods or the performance of any Licensed Services under the Licensed Marks. Spielberg Entity shall, and shall cause each Sublicensee to reasonably cooperate with and assist DWA to monitor and ensure Spielberg Entity’s and each Sublicensee’s compliance with this Paragraph 7(f).

  8. Enforcement; Expansion of Rights; Etc.

(a) Spielberg Entity agrees to advise DWA promptly and in writing of any instances of possible infringement or dilution of, or unfair competition or cybersquatting regarding, the Licensed Marks in the DWA Registered Territory or elsewhere in the world that come to the attention of Spielberg Entity or Holding Company (collectively “Infringements”). Upon receipt of such notification or at any time, DWA may take such action as it deems appropriate to protect the Licensed Marks, after consultation in good faith with Spielberg Entity if the Infringement is in the DWA Registered Territory and within the scope of the DWA Registered Trademark Rights and relates to goods or services within the field of use of Spielberg Entity’s license hereunder (provided that the final decision of whether or not to take such action shall be in DWA’s sole discretion), including, without limitation, criminal, civil, or administrative proceedings and litigation, through counsel of DWA’s choice, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to Spielberg Entity if the Infringement is in the DWA Registered Territory and within the scope of the DWA Registered Trademark Rights and relates to goods or services within the field of use of Spielberg Entity’s license hereunder. DWA shall have the sole right (but no obligation) to take any such action and shall have the sole right to control any litigation or other proceeding. Where litigation or other proceeding by DWA involves an Infringement, the attorneys’ fees and other expenses of such litigation or other proceeding (collectively “Expenses”), and any sums obtained by way of judgment or settlement from such litigation or other proceeding (a “Recovery”), shall be allocated as follows: (i) if the Infringement involves only the Licensed Marks and only Licensed Goods or Licensed Services as to which Spielberg Entity has an exclusive license of the Licensed Marks, and Spielberg Entity has agreed that such action should be taken, Spielberg Entity shall reimburse DWA for all documented Expenses and shall keep any Recovery (and

 

36


DWA agrees that any such reimbursed Expenses allocable to attorneys’ fees or other third party professional services shall be charged at hourly rates that do not deviate materially from the hourly rates that DWA pays to the applicable service providers in matters undertaken on its own behalf); and (ii) if the Infringement involves any DreamWorks Marks other than the Licensed Marks and/or any Licensed Goods or Licensed Services as to which Spielberg Entity has a non-exclusive license of the Licensed Marks, or if Spielberg Entity does not agree that such action should be taken, DWA shall bear all Expenses and shall keep any Recovery. Where litigation by DWA against an Infringement also includes claims by Spielberg Entity based upon Spielberg Entity’s intellectual property rights or other rights unrelated to the Licensed Marks (e.g., Spielberg Entity’s rights in a Motion Picture), each of DWA and Spielberg Entity shall bear its own Expenses and shall keep any Recovery that pertain to the claims asserted by it, unless DWA and Spielberg Entity elect to assert their respective claims through the same counsel, in which case they shall agree in good faith regarding the allocation of Expenses and Recovery. Nothing in this License Agreement imposes any obligations on DWA with respect to any infringement or dilution of, or unfair competition or cybersquatting regarding, the Licensed Marks outside the DWA Registered Territory or outside the scope of the DWA Registered Trademark Rights.

(b) Spielberg Entity agrees (and will cause its Sublicensees to agree) at DWA’s request to be and, as necessary, to remain, the sole party or a joint party with DWA, and otherwise to cooperate with and assist DWA, in any litigation or other proceeding involving a claim based upon the Licensed Marks, including, without limitation, in the event that the substantive law of a particular jurisdiction requires Spielberg Entity or any Sublicensee to be a party, whether because the status of the recordation of an assignment, this Licensed Agreement or any related documents in that jurisdiction as of the time of the commencement of such

 

37


litigation or other proceeding does not permit DWA to proceed without Spielberg Entity or such Sublicensee joining as a party, or for any other reason. The allocation of Expenses and Recovery in litigation or other proceeding, in which Spielberg Entity or any Sublicensee must be a joint party with DWA, or a sole party, shall also be governed by Paragraph 8(a) above to the extent applicable.

(c) DWA and Spielberg Entity agree that in connection with any litigation or other proceeding by DWA to which sub-Paragraph 8(a)(i) above applies, DWA shall not compromise the litigation in a manner that affects Spielberg Entity’s rights hereunder without good faith consultation with Spielberg Entity, and that in any other litigation by DWA, including, without limitation, any litigation to which sub-Paragraph 8(a)(ii) above applies, DWA may prosecute and compromise the litigation in its sole discretion.

(d) Spielberg Entity may request DWA to file applications to register the Licensed Marks for the Licensed Goods and Licensed Services in countries outside the DWA Registered Territory, to register the Licensed Marks in jurisdictions in the DWA Registered Territory for goods and services in addition to the Licensed Goods and Licensed Services, and to register domain names containing the Licensed Marks. In response to any such request, DWA shall decide whether to file such applications for trademark and service mark registration, and to register such domain names, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment. The attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with the filing and prosecution of such applications that DWA agrees to file, or the registration of such domain names that DWA agrees to register, shall be shared equally by DWA and Spielberg Entity. DWA agrees to prosecute any such applications for trademark or service mark registration and to maintain all existing and future registrations of the Licensed Marks and domain name registrations, unless DWA decides in its reasonable

 

38


business judgment to abandon any such applications or not to renew any such registrations (and DWA will not abandon any such application or fail to renew any such registration in any jurisdiction in the DWA Registered Territory where Spielberg Entity is then using the applicable Licensed Mark for the applicable Licensed Goods or Licensed Services without good faith consultation with Spielberg Entity). Nothing in this License Agreement imposes any obligations on DWA with respect to prosecution or maintenance of any applications or registrations for Licensed Marks outside the DWA Registered Territory or outside the scope of the DWA Registered Trademark Rights (other than to exercise its reasonable business judgment in considering requests for additional filings as expressly set forth above). Without limitation of Paragraph 6(a), DWA will own all domain names that incorporate any DreamWorks Marks, including the Licensed Domain Names. DWA will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Licensed Domain Names to resolve to such websites as are directed by Spielberg Entity, provided that the use of any DreamWorks Marks on such websites and any materials displayed on or otherwise made available through such websites complies with the terms of this License Agreement.

 

  9. Representations and Warranties.

(a) DWA represents and warrants to Spielberg Entity that: (i) it has the right, power, and authority to enter into and fully perform its obligations under this License Agreement; and (ii) this License Agreement is a binding agreement as to DWA that is enforceable against DWA according to its terms.

(b) Spielberg Entity represents and warrants to DWA that: (i) Spielberg Entity will throughout the Term of this License Agreement maintain sufficient control over all Sublicensees to fulfill Spielberg Entity’s obligations to cause all Sublicensees to comply with the Sublicenses

 

39


and otherwise take or refrain from taking the actions specified hereunder; (ii) Spielberg Entity’s and its Sublicensees’ use of the Licensed Marks, and the conduct of its and their business under the Licensed Marks, shall be in accordance with all applicable laws, (iii) Spielberg Entity has the right, power, and authority to enter into and fully perform its obligations under this License Agreement; and (iv) this License Agreement is a binding agreement as to Spielberg Entity that is enforceable against Spielberg Entity according to its terms.

(c) The Licensed Marks are provided to Spielberg Entity “as is” without any warranty express or implied, and DWA hereby specifically disclaims any warranties, express or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement of third-party rights, and any warranties that may arise due to course of performance, course of dealing or usage of trade, related to the Licensed Marks or, except as expressly set forth in Paragraph 9(a) above, any other subject matter of this License Agreement.

(d) In no event shall DWA be liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages, or damages for loss of profits, loss of goodwill or otherwise, arising from or relating to this License Agreement or the Licensed Marks, even if DWA is expressly advised of the possibility of such damages. DWA’s total liability arising from or relating to this License Agreement or the subject matter hereof shall not exceed two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000). The foregoing limitation of liability and exclusion of certain damages shall apply regardless of the failure of essential purpose of any remedies available to either party.

 

  10. Indemnification.

(a) DWA agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Spielberg Entity from and against any claim, demand, cause of action, or suit for trademark, service mark, or trade name infringement, or for dilution, cybersquatting, or unfair competition that is asserted against

 

40


Spielberg Entity by a third party solely to the extent based on Spielberg Entity’s or any Sublicensee’s use of the Licensed Marks for Licensed Goods or Licensed Services in the DWA Registered Territory and within the scope of the DWA Registered Trademark Rights as expressly permitted under this License Agreement (each a “Trademark Claim”), subject to the limitation of liability in Paragraph 9(d). Spielberg Entity agrees that upon receipt of notice of any Trademark Claim, it will promptly tender such Trademark Claim in writing to DWA in the manner set forth in Paragraph 11(a) below, and DWA agrees that it will defend Spielberg Entity against such Trademark Claim at DWA’s expense and through counsel of DWA’s choosing. DWA may defend or compromise any Trademark Claim and agrees to pay any judgment or settlement on any Trademark Claim (in each case, subject to the limitation of liability set forth in Paragraph 9(d)), provided that DWA will not agree to any settlement that affects Spielberg Entity’s rights hereunder without good faith consultation with Spielberg Entity. Spielberg Entity agrees that it will cooperate fully with, and will cause all applicable Sublicensees to cooperate fully with, DWA and its counsel in DWA’s defense of any Trademark Claim. DWA agrees to carry such insurance as may be reasonable to insure the fulfillment of DWA’s indemnity obligations with respect to Trademark Claims. In the event of any Trademark Claim, DWA may, in its discretion (i) procure for Spielberg Entity the right to continue using and/or sublicensing (as applicable with respect to the claim at issue) the Licensed Marks that are allegedly infringing, (ii) provide Spielberg Entity with substitute marks that do not infringe any third party trademarks, or (iii) if neither (i) nor (ii) is feasible using commercially reasonable efforts, terminate Spielberg Entity’s license with respect to the applicable Licensed Marks in the relevant jurisdiction and for the relevant Licensed Goods or Licensed Services, as DWA deems necessary to avoid any further infringement or alleged infringement. Under no circumstances shall DWA be obligated to

 

41


defend, indemnify or hold harmless Spielberg Entity with respect to continued use of any Licensed Mark after DWA has taken any of steps (i), (ii) or (iii) as described in the preceding sentence. Spielberg Entity agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this License Agreement, in the event that Spielberg Entity seeks indemnification from DWA with respect to any claim for which Holding Company or another Sublicensee has sought indemnification from Spielberg Entity under any Sublicense, as a condition to any obligation of DWA to provide such indemnification hereunder, Spielberg Entity shall give DWA the option (to be exercised in DWA’s sole discretion) to assume and control the defense and settlement of such claim through counsel of DWA’s choosing. In such circumstances, DWA may fulfill any obligations it may have to Spielberg Entity under this Paragraph 10(a) by doing either of the following in DWA’s sole discretion: (1) permitting Spielberg Entity to control the defense and settlement of the claim against the Sublicensee, and reimbursing Spielberg Entity for the reasonable costs of such defense and for any judgment or settlement amounts paid by Spielberg Entity as otherwise required by this Paragraph 10(a), subject to the limitation of liability set forth in Paragraph 9(d) (and provided that any such settlement is approved by DWA), or (2) assuming control of the defense and settlement of the claim against the Sublicensee, and paying any such judgment and settlement amounts itself, subject to the limitation of liability set forth in Paragraph 9(d). DWA’s right to control the defense and settlement of such claim shall continue until such time as DWA gives notice to Spielberg Entity that DWA’s aggregate costs of such defense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees), and any judgment or settlement amounts, equal or exceed the amount of DWA’s limitation of liability set forth in Paragraph 9(d) and that DWA, therefore, has fulfilled its entire indemnification obligation to Spielberg Entity (such notice, a “Limitation Notice”). Upon receipt of a Limitation Notice with respect to any claim, Spielberg Entity may

 

42


assume control of the defense and settlement (and DWA shall have no further obligation to indemnify or defend DW II with respect to such claim); provided, however, that DWA shall retain the right (but not the obligation) to participate in the defense and settlement of the claim with counsel of its choice at its own expense, and to control any aspects of such defense and settlement that relate to, or that have the potential to impact, DWA or any DreamWorks Marks (or DWA’s rights therein or ownership thereof), including, without limitation, the scope, validity or enforceability of any DreamWorks Marks (collectively, “DWA-Controlled Matters”), and Spielberg Entity shall not file any papers or otherwise take any position in the defense of the claim or enter into any settlement with respect to any DWA-Controlled Matters without DWA’s prior written approval. Spielberg Entity shall ensure that each Sublicense in which any indemnification related to the Licensed Marks is provided to the applicable Sublicensee requires such Sublicensee to agree that DWA may, at its option, assume and control the defense and settlement of such claim through counsel of DWA’s choosing as described above.

(b) Spielberg Entity agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DWA, and to obligate each Sublicensee to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DWA, from and against any claim, demand, cause of action, or suit that is asserted against DWA by a third party arising out of or relating to (i) any Licensed Goods or Licensed Services, including, without limitation, Spielberg Entity’s or any Sublicensee’s manufacture, advertisement, promotion, marketing, offering for sale, sale, or distribution of any Licensed Goods, or Spielberg Entity’s or any Sublicensee’s advertisement, promotion, marketing, offering for sale, sale, or rendition of any Licensed Services, unless such claim, demand, cause of action, or suit is a Trademark Claim for which DWA is required to indemnify Spielberg Entity pursuant to Paragraph 10(a), (ii) any Sublicense, unless such claim, demand, cause of action, or suit is a Trademark Claim for which

 

43


DWA is required to indemnify Spielberg Entity pursuant to Paragraph 10(a), or (iii) Spielberg Entity’s or any Sublicensee’s use of any Licensed Mark outside the DWA Registered Territory or outside the scope of the DWA Registered Trademark Rights or any use other than as expressly permitted by this License Agreement or other breach of this License Agreement (each a “Licensee Claim”). Licensee Claims include, without limitation, all claims, demands, causes of action, or suits for copyright infringement, libel, violation or infringement of the right of publicity, violation or invasion of the right of privacy, disparagement, theft of ideas, patent infringement, breach of contract, negligence, strict liability, and product liability arising out of or relating to Licensed Goods or Licensed Services, including, without limitation, Spielberg Entity’s or any Sublicensee’s manufacture, advertisement, promotion, marketing, offering for sale, sale, or distribution of Licensed Goods, and Spielberg Entity’s or any Sublicensee’s advertisement, promotion, marketing, offering for sale, sale, or rendition of Licensed Services (except where such claims, demands, causes of action, or suits are based solely upon Spielberg Entity’s or any Sublicensee’s use of the Licensed Marks as expressly permitted under this License Agreement in the DWA Registered Territory and within the scope of the DWA Registered Trademark Rights). DWA agrees that, upon receipt of any Licensee Claim for which it wishes to receive indemnification hereunder, it will promptly tender such claim in writing to Spielberg Entity in the manner set forth in Paragraph 11(a) below, and Spielberg Entity agrees that it will defend DWA against such Licensee Claim at Spielberg Entity’s expense and through counsel of Spielberg Entity’s choosing, provided that DWA may participate in the defense using counsel of its choice at its own expense. Spielberg Entity may defend or compromise any Licensee Claim and agrees to pay any judgment or settlement on any Licensee Claim, provided that Spielberg Entity will not agree to any settlement that imposes any material obligations on

 

44


DWA or affects any Licensed Marks or DWA’s rights therein without the approval of DWA, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Spielberg Entity shall maintain in full force and effect at all times while this License Agreement is in effect and for three years thereafter, (1) commercial general liability insurance, including products and completed operations coverage, broad form property damage, contractual liability, bodily injury (including death), and personal and advertising injury liability, with minimum limits of $1,000,000 each occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate, and including a waiver of subrogation in favor of DWA; (2) umbrella excess liability insurance with minimum limits of $5,000,000 each occurrence and $5,000,000 in the aggregate; and (3) errors and omissions liability insurance with minimum limits of $10,000,000 each claim and $10,000,000 in the aggregate, covering all of Spielberg Entity’s and its subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ business activities in the field of entertainment. The general liability and errors and omissions liability policies shall name as additional insureds DWA and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns and the directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives of the foregoing. All coverage shall be primary and non-contributory, and must be underwritten by a carrier with a minimum Best’s Guide rating of A-, VII. Spielberg Entity shall deliver to DWA a certificate of insurance evidencing satisfactory coverage and indicating that DWA shall receive thirty (30) days unrestricted prior written notice of cancellation, non-renewal or any material change in coverage. For avoidance of doubt, Spielberg Entity will be deemed to have met the above insurance requirements if it is designated as a named insured on insurance policies maintained by Holding Company that meet such requirements. Compliance herewith in no way limits Spielberg Entity’s indemnity obligations hereunder.

 

45


  11. Miscellaneous

(a) Any notices required or which may be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, by facsimile (with confirmation of receipt), or by e-mail (with confirmation of receipt), to the addresses set forth above, or such other addresses as may be designated by the parties from time to time in writing under this License Agreement. All notices sent to DWA and Spielberg Entity shall be sent to the attention of the General Counsel. All notices sent to Spielberg may be sent to the address for Spielberg Entity. All notices are effective upon confirmed receipt.

(b) The parties agree that any dispute to interpret or enforce, or otherwise arising out of or relating to, this License Agreement shall be determined by final and binding arbitration before JAMS according to the then most applicable JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS”), provided always that: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator with at least ten (10) years experience in the trademark licensing business, appointed by mutual agreement of the parties within five (5) business days from the date the notice of arbitration is delivered by the petitioning party; (b) the parties shall be entitled to discovery as provided in California Code of Civil Procedure sections 1283.05 and 1283.1; (c) in deciding any such matter, the arbitrator shall follow the substantive law of the State of California or Federal Law as it would be applied by California courts; (d) the place of arbitration shall be Los Angeles, California, (e) nothing in this Paragraph 11(b) shall prevent either from, without waiving its right to arbitration, seeking preliminary or interlocutory relief from a court of competent jurisdiction; (f) all arbitration proceedings (including any discovery and other evidence in connection therewith) shall be closed to the public and shall remain confidential; and (g) arbitration awards hereunder may be entered and enforced as provided in California Code of

 

46


Civil Procedure sections 1285 et seq. If the arbitrator is not selected by mutual consent within five (5) business days from the date the notice of arbitration is delivered by the petitioning party, the rules of JAMS with respect to the selection of an arbitrator shall apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before proceedings are initiated hereunder, the Parties or their designated representatives shall meet and in good faith attempt to resolve the dispute. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any disputes submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to Paragraph 11(b), above, that affect the timely release of a motion picture for initial theatrical exhibition shall commence within seven (7) business days from the date the notice is delivered by the petitioning party and the arbitrator shall rule not later than ten (10) business days after the date the notice is delivered. The hearing shall be conducted by the arbitrator for as many days as the arbitrator determines to allow; provided, that the hearing shall conclude, and the arbitrator shall rule, not later than ten (10) business days after the date the notice is delivered.

(c) With the express written consent of DWA, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, Spielberg Entity may assign this License Agreement in its entirety only to another entity wholly owned and controlled by Spielberg and for which Spielberg has, and is able to exercise, Greenlight Authority with respect to such entity’s activities related to the production, distribution and financing of Motion Pictures. Except as expressly set forth in the previous sentence, neither Spielberg Entity nor Spielberg shall have any right to assign, sell, transfer, delegate or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this License Agreement or any rights or obligations under this License Agreement without DWA’s express written consent, which DWA may withhold or deny in its sole discretion. Except as provided herein, any purported assignment, transfer, or delegation by Spielberg Entity or Spielberg shall be null and void. DWA may assign, sell, transfer, delegate or

 

47


otherwise dispose of this License Agreement freely. Subject to the foregoing, this License Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Paragraph 11(c) shall prevent Spielberg Entity from granting Sublicenses as otherwise expressly permitted by this License Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this License Agreement to the contrary, Spielberg Entity and Spielberg hereby irrevocably waive any right to seek and/or obtain equitable and/or injunctive relief related to DWA’s or any of its affiliates’ production, distribution, license and/or other exploitation of any Motion Picture and/or other production, content, material, goods or services; and Spielberg Entity’s and Spielberg’s sole and exclusive remedy in connection therewith shall be an action for damages. The foregoing shall not prevent Spielberg Entity from seeking injunctive relief against any sublicensee of DWA to whom DWA has granted a license to use the Licensed Marks in connection with non-family oriented Live-Action Motion Pictures in violation of the exclusivity granted to Spielberg Entity in this License Agreement.

(e) This License Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein and without regard to its conflicts of laws rules that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

(f) This License Agreement, together with the Schedules thereto, constitutes the entire agreement between DWA, Spielberg Entity and Spielberg with respect to its subject matter, and supersedes any prior agreement, understanding, representation, promise, or negotiations between the parties, whether oral or written, express or implied. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, this License Agreement supersedes the Prior License

 

48


Agreement, which has expired pursuant to its terms. For avoidance of doubt, however, any provisions of the Prior License Agreement that are identified in the Prior License Agreement as surviving termination or expiration will so survive notwithstanding this License Agreement, except to the extent that such surviving provisions conflict with the rights and obligations of the parties under this License Agreement (in which case, this License Agreement will control and will resolve such conflict).

(g) If any provision of this License Agreement is found to be unenforceable, the remainder shall be enforced as fully as possible and the unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified to the limited extent required to permit its enforcement in a manner most closely approximating the intention of the parties as expressed herein.

(h) DWA, Spielberg Entity and Spielberg are not, and shall not be considered to be, joint venturers, partners, agents or employees of each other, and no party shall have the power to bind or obligate any other party except as specifically set forth in this License Agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein or otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, there shall be no liability on the part of one party hereto for any debts incurred by any other party.

(i) The subject headings of this License Agreement are included for purposes of convenience only, and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any of its provisions.

(j) The waiver by any party of a breach of or a default under any provision of this License Agreement shall not be effective unless in writing and shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of or default under the same or any other provision of this License Agreement, nor shall any delay or omission on the part of any party to exercise or avail itself of any right or remedy that it has or may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any right or remedy.

 

49


(k) This License Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the parties hereto and is not intended to convey any rights or benefits to any third party, nor will this License Agreement be interpreted to convey any rights or benefits to any person or entity except the parties hereto.
