B.           Licensee and Licensors have previously entered into a series of agreements (the “Initial Agreements”) whereby Licensors transferred the Patents and Trademarks to Licensee.

C.           Until the transfer of the Patents and Trademarks have been approved by State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC and the Trademark Office of the State Administration of Industry and Commerce of the PRC (the “Official Approval”), the Licensees have user rights with respect to such intellectual property.

D.           In order to clarify the terms of the user rights granted to the Licensee in the Initial Agreements, the Licensors and Licensee are entering into this Agreement.

E.           The Licensors further want the ownership of any and all patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets, know-how, plans, designs, any other intellectual property or proprietary rights recognized in any country or jurisdiction worldwide, including, without limitation, moral rights and similar rights (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”) arising out of the past or future businesses of Winder, Delta, Deer or any other wholly owned subsidiary of Deer (each a “Deer Entity,” collectively the “Deer Entities”) be owned exclusively by a Deer Entity if not conveyed pursuant to the Initial Agreements.

(b)           Registration of the License.  Licensors undertake to file the License with the competent Chinese government authorities for recordal pursuant to the applicable PRC regulations after the execution of this Agreement.  Licensors further undertake to execute any and all such further documents and take any and all such further actions as may be required to complete the aforesaid filing of the License, with assistance as may be reasonably requested from the Licensee.

3.           Warranties.  Licensors shall maintain the registration of the Patents and Trademarks and any other Intellectual Property required to be registered through timely renewal and payment of annual fees, where applicable until such time as the ownership of the relevant Patents and Trademarks and Intellectual Property have been effectively transferred to Winder or another Deer Entity, as the case may be, pursuant to the PRC laws.

4.           Future Intellectual Property.  Licensors agree that all Intellectual Property owned by them arising out of the past or future operations of a Deer Entity not transferred pursuant to the Initial Agreements shall be owned exclusively by a Deer Entity and Licensors shall take all such steps necessary to transfer the ownership of any such Intellectual Property not transferred pursuant to Section 1 hereof.  Until the transfer of all such Intellectual Property receives Official Approval, such Deer Entity shall have a License to such Intellectual Property as set forth in Section 2(a).
