Such review shall include, but shall not be limited to, new registrations and/or changes to existing registrations, new product launches, product and packaging changes and planned copy that is related to the Product. CNS shall propose the timing for these meetings and shall coordinate them with P&G's Marketing Director, North America, Respiratory or his/her designee. (h) Improper Use. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time CNS is using the Licensed Marks on the Product, or on labels or tags or in advertising in any country in the Area in a manner not consistent with this Agreement, or if the standard of quality of the Products in any country in the Area does not conform to the standards set by P&G or is not of a quality at least equal to similar "first line" products manufactured by CNS, then P&G may give CNS written notice to that effect, identifying in such notice the situation to which it objects. CNS shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of any such notice to notify P&G of the means by which CNS intends to correct the situation to which P&G has objected, and, notwithstanding Sections 1 or 10 thereof, if CNS fails to complete such corrective action within a reasonable time, then P&G may by further written notice to CNS cancel this Agreement forthwith with respect to the country(ies) affected.

Upon receipt of such notice, CNS shall cease selling the Product in such country as soon as is reasonably commercially possible, but in no event later than 180 days from the date of such notice, and shall take all steps necessary to enable P&G to sell goods under the Licensed Marks in that country. Subject to the preceding, P&G shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with CNS in a phase out plan to sell out finished goods of the Product and any unique materials specifically identified to the manufacture of the Product for such country. (k) Other Approvals. In addition, CNS shall submit the Product to a testing laboratory identified by P&G for tests reasonably requested by P&G.

All costs of such testing will be borne by CNS. 3. CNS COVENANTS With regard to its actions hereunder, CNS expressly covenants as follows: (a) Authorization. CNS is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of Delaware and is duly authorized to do business therein, with full corporate power to enter into this Agreement. (b) Conflicts. To the knowledge of CNS, the execution and delivery of this Agreement does not violate any law, rule or regulation or order, judgment, or decree within the Area binding on either party and will not result in a breach of any contract, agreement or other instrument to which either CNS is a party. (c) Plant(s) Where Product is Manufactured. CNS and its contract manufacturer(s) (if any) shall maintain and operate a plant or plants with manufacturing and packaging equipment adequate to produce and supply Product in quantities adequate to meet reasonably anticipated consumer demand.

P&G representatives shall be permitted to enter and inspect, at reasonable times during business hours and with at least forty-eight (48) hours' prior notice, CNS's plants and warehouses where Product is being manufactured or stored and the plants and warehouses of CNS's contract manufacturer(s) (if any) where Product is being manufactured or stored. (e) Sub-Standard Product. (i) CNS covenants, warrants and guarantees that none of the Product will be in violation of the drug, medical device or other laws of the United States or any applicable country, and that the Product will not be produced or shipped in violation of any applicable laws of the United States or other country; provided, however, that CNS does not covenant, warrant or guarantee against the Product becoming violative within the meaning of the applicable drug, medical device, health or consumer product safety laws after shipment by reason of causes beyond CNS's control. (ii) If CNS learns that it has manufactured or has in its possession or control or has shipped or sold Product which is in violation of drug, medical device, health or other applicable laws, then CNS agrees to notify P&G of such fact promptly and in writing. Upon notice to P&G from CNS, or upon notice given by P&G to CNS of the existence of this Substandard Product, CNS will promptly take whatever action is reasonably necessary to correct this situation. If requested by P&G, CNS shall, solely at CNS's expense, promptly retrieve from CNS's warehouse or plant and from all trade customers all such Substandard Product. CNS must seek and receive P&G consent as to its proposed handling of the retrieved Substandard Product. In the event of any consumer recall, however or by whomever the recall is initiated, CNS shall, solely at CNS's expense, promptly retrieve all such Substandard Product and CNS must seek and receive P&G's consent as to its proposed handling of the retrieved Substandard Product. (f) Non-Competition.

However, the preceding provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to prevent CNS from continuing to distribute or sell any product which, on the date of this Agreement, it is then selling or distributing. For clarification, the above non-competition provision does not apply if CNS Terminates the Agreement or if P&G determines not to renew this Agreement upon the Expiration of its Term. During the Term of this Agreement, CNS will not manufacture, distribute or sell, directly, within the Area, its own products for cough/cold symptom relief that are substantially similar to the Product. Notwithstanding the above, CNS may manufacture, distribute or sell, directly, within the Area, its own products for cough/cold symptom relief that are not substantially similar to the Product.

(b) Cooperation. CNS will cooperate with P&G in the execution, filing and prosecution of any trademark applications relating to the Product that P&G may desire to file at its own expense, and for that purpose CNS will supply to P&G from time to time such samples, containers, labels and similar material as may reasonably be required. (c) Actions. CNS hereby agrees that it will not acquire any copyright, trademark, or other right in the Licensed Marks. CNS agrees that it will not contest or assist any other party in contesting the validity of or P&G's ownership of the Licensed Marks.

(iii) CNS shall indemnify and hold harmless P&G from any claim of trademark infringement, unfair competition, passing off, etc. arising from CNS use of the Licensed Marks 10 on the Product. All Costs associated with such a claim shall be exclusively CNS although P&G will cooperate as reasonably necessary. (iv) CNS shall be responsible for submitting this Agreement to the respective trademark office or authorities in the country or countries which require it as proof of use of the Licensed Marks. (d) P&G Materials. P&G shall have the right, without payment or obligation to CNS, to produce and distribute catalogs, promotional brochures or inserts, point of sale displays or other advertising matter displaying the Product in conjunction with other products of P&G and/or others subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and subject to the written approval of CNS. (e) Use of Names. Both CNS and P&G shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use the name of the other party in programs without any payment or obligation to the other party whatsoever subject to the other provisions of this Agreement. P&G and CNS agree that such publicity will be in good taste in accordance with industry standards. (f) Limitations. P&G specifically makes no representations or warranties with respect to the availability and/or registrability of the Licensed Marks for the Product to be marketed or sold in the Area, but P&G shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain rights to the Licensed Marks for the Product in the Area, including registration of the Licensed Marks where necessary. 5. P&G COVENANTS With regard to its actions hereunder, P&G expressly covenants as follows: (a) Authorization. P&G is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of Ohio and is duly authorized to do business therein, with full corporate power to enter into this Agreement. (b) Conflicts. To the knowledge of P&G, the execution and delivery of this Agreement does not violate any law, rule or regulation or order, judgment, or decree within the Area binding on either party and will not result in a breach of any contract, agreement or other instrument to which either P&G is a party. P&G is under a contractual obligation to offer a right 11 of first refusal for use of the Licensed Marks on healthcare appliances or devices associated with the field of cough/cold; such right of first refusal has been offered and not exercised. (c) Enforceable License. To the knowledge of P&G, this is a valid and enforceable License Agreement. (d) Non-Competition. During the Term of this Agreement and in the event that CNS has Terminated this Agreement or if P&G has determined not to renew this Agreement upon the Expiration of its Term, then for [ * * * ] after such Termination or Expiration of the Term of this Agreement P&G shall not use, or offer or grant to any other party any right to use the Licensed Marks on any other item or good which is substantially similar to the Product. For clarification, the above noncompetition provision does not apply if P&G Terminates the Agreement or if CNS determines not to renew this Agreement upon the Expiration of its Term. 6. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE (a) Indemnification of P&G. CNS shall indemnify and save harmless P&G, Its subordinates and affiliated companies, and any of their agents, servants, officers, directors and employees from and against any liability, claim, administrative action, cause of action, suit, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees and costs), including but not limited to any damages for personal injuries, including death, and property damage, which: (i) result from Product which is sold, shipped, manufactured or distributed in violation of any applicable law; or (ii) result from any disputes with the trade resulting from CNS dealings or relations therewith; or (iii) result from any advertising, promotion, or other actions or inactions by CNS in furtherance of its rights under this Agreement; or (iv) are due to CNS breach of any warranty, covenant or agreement by CNS contained herein; or (v) result from any consumer's use or possession of the Product; or (vi) arise from or by reason of any acts, whether of omission or commission, that may be committed by CNS or any of its servants, agents, employees, sub licensees, distributors or customers in connection with CNS performance under this Agreement, or which 12 arise from or by reason of the importation, manufacture, sale and/or other transfer or disposition by CNS of the Product. P&G and its affiliated companies and their agents, officers, directors and employees shall have no liability whatsoever to CNS or any other firm, corporation, organization or person for or on account of any injury, loss, damage of any kind or nature, cost or expense incurred by or imposed upon CNS or any other firm, corporation, organization or person arising out of or in connection with or resulting from CNS performance of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (a) the production, use, sale, transfer or other disposition of any Product; or (b) any labeling, packaging, advertising or promotion activities with respect to any of the foregoing; or (vii) result from any governmental action, I.E., federal, state or local. (b) Insurance. In furtherance of CNS covenants contained in the preceding subparagraph, CNS agrees to carry product liability insurance with respect to the Product with a limit of liability of at least Five Million US Dollars (US $5,000,000) per occurrence and this insurance policy shall endorse P&G as an additional insured party. Such insurance may be obtained in conjunction with a policy of product liability insurance which covers goods other than the Product, and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to P&G of the cancellation or material modification thereof. CNS shall deliver to P&G a certificate evidencing the existence of such insurance policies within thirty (30) days of signing this Agreement. CNS agrees and covenants to maintain such insurance, including the endorsement of P&G as an additional insured party, in full force and effect from the effective date of this Agreement until three (3) years after the eventual Expiration or Termination of any license hereunder. CNS may not remove P&G as an additional insured party from CNS insurance policy without written consent from P&G. All costs associated with CNS insurance policy, including the endorsement of P&G as an additional insured party, will be borne by CNS. (c) Indemnification of CNS. P&G shall indemnify and save harmless CNS, its affiliated companies and any of their agents, servants, officers, directors and employees from and against any liability, claim, administrative action, cause of action, suit, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees and costs), including but not limited to any damages for personal injuries, including death, and property damage, which are due to P&G breach of any 13 warranty, covenant or agreement by P&G contained herein or which arise from P&G production, use, sale or other disposition of its own products or any labeling, packaging, advertising or promotion activities of its own products in connection with or arising from any promotional activities outlined herein. Notwithstanding the above, CNS obligations of indemnification for its Product under section 6(a) shall apply to any sample Product that may be provided pursuant to any promotional agreements contained herein, unless such loss or damage is caused by the action or inaction of P&G. (d) Promotions. For clarification, the aforementioned indemnification provisions shall extend to any promotional efforts or activities conducted by either party pursuant to Section 9 and any Scheduled promotional activities. 7. LICENSE FEES (a) Calculation of Royalties. CNS agrees to pay to P&G royalties as shown in Schedule 5, such payment to be in United States dollars determined by the quarterly average exchange rate for the previous quarter as published by the International Monetary Fund in International Financial Statistics (or nearest equivalent). As used herein, Net Sales means gross sales, less discounts, standard promotional allowances, returns and credits specific to the Product less overseas freight and duties paid by CNS and billed to the customer. As used herein, the term standard promotional allowances means costs incurred for promotional events which: (i) provide payment to the trade for specific trade performance; (ii) pay for display materials or wall components; or (iii) grant temporary price reductions. (b) Minimum Royalties. CNS agrees to pay minimum royalties for each region as set forth in Schedule 6.

Such statement shall be furnished to P&G whether or not 14 any of the Product was sold during the preceding calendar quarter. The statement should be sent to The Procter & Gamble Company, Attention: Finance Manager, Personal Health Care, One Procter & Gamble Plaza, Cincinnati, OH 45202. (d) Payment Terms. All royalty amounts in this Agreement are stated in United States dollars, and all royalty statements shall be made in United States dollars. There shall be no deductions for the transfer of funds or royalties or the conversion of currency into United States dollars. Payments should be sent quarterly via wire transfer to an account specified by P&G on or before the 30th day following the end of each calendar quarter during the Term. The receipt or acceptance by P&G of any of the statements furnished pursuant to this Agreement or of any royalties paid hereunder (or the cashing of any royalty checks paid hereunder) shall not preclude P&G from questioning the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency thereof at any time, and in the event that any inconsistencies or mistakes are discovered in such statements or payments, they shall immediately be rectified and the appropriate payment made by CNS. (e) Tax Withholding. CNS shall be responsible for the payment of any foreign taxes, fees or assessments with regard to the Product sold by CNS or by an Affiliate or Subcontractor of CNS. If taxes or other fees are required to be withheld on any payments due P&G, CNS shall pay such tax or similar fee on behalf of P&G with a corresponding reduction in royalties due P&G. If CNS does not withhold such taxes or other fees and P&G is subsequently found liable for payment of such taxes or other fees by any governmental jurisdiction, CNS will reimburse P&G for any amounts P&G is liable to pay. To the extent a withholding tax or other fee is deducted with respect to any payment between CNS and P&G, the amount of tax or other fee withheld shall be for the account of P&G.
