(ii) Re-branding. The Product Packaging License is granted solely for transitional purposes, and Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cease its use of all of the Licensed Trademarks as quickly as practicable after the Effective Date, including by seeking labeling approval from a Governmental Authority to change the Product Packaging so that such Product Packaging no longer displays any Licensed Trademarks or by completing the transfer of the Regulatory Approvals and replacing the Licensed Trademarks with Licensees name or house mark.
(iii) Term. Unless terminated earlier under Section 10, the Product Packaging License will terminate, on a Product-by-Product and (to the extent applicable) country-by-country basis, after the receipt by Licensee of labeling approval from the relevant Governmental Authority for any such Product to change the Product Packaging so that such Product Packaging no longer displays any Licensed Trademarks, consistent with the timelines specified in regulations or guidance from such Governmental Authority on implementation of labeling changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall the Product Packaging License expire later than four (4) years after the Effective Date; provided, however, that upon the Parties mutual agreement, the term of the Product Packaging License can be extended for one (1) additional year (beyond the four (4) year period immediately following the Effective Date).
(iv) Notice Obligations of Licensee. Licensee shall provide written notice to Licensor promptly upon Licensees receipt of any labeling approval from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to any Product to change the Product Packaging so that such Product Packaging no longer displays any Licensed Trademarks.

Licensee is liable to Licensor and, as between the Parties, to all other Persons, for the failure of any Sublicensee to comply with its sublicense agreement to the same extent that Licensee would have been liable had Licensee failed to comply with this Agreement. Any sublicenses granted under this Section 2(d) shall automatically terminate upon the termination of the relevant license to Licensee hereunder.
3. Reservation of Rights. Licensor reserves all rights in and to the Licensed Trademarks. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that as between Licensor and Licensee, Licensor is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in, to and under the Licensed Trademarks, including all goodwill of the business connected with the use of, or symbolized by, the Licensed Trademarks. All goodwill generated by Licensees use of the Licensed Trademarks inures solely to the benefit of Licensor. Nothing in this Agreement grants Licensee any ownership or other proprietary interest in any Licensed Trademarks.
4. Restrictions on Use. Without limiting the generality of Section 3 of this Agreement, Licensee will not nor attempt to, nor permit, enable, or request any of its Subsidiaries to:
(a) use any Licensed Trademarks in any manner, or engage in any other act or omission, that would be reasonably likely to impair any right of Licensor in, to or under the Licensed Trademarks, including any act or omission that would be reasonably likely to invalidate or cause the cancellation or abandonment of any Licensed Trademarks;
(b) file, acquire or otherwise obtain any registration for or application to register any Trademark or Internet domain name, or acquire, create or otherwise obtain any social media account that consists of, incorporates, uses, or is confusingly similar to any Licensed Trademarks, whether with any Governmental Authority, Internet domain name registrar, social media platform or otherwise (each of the foregoing, a Registration);
(c) adopt or use any variation, derivation or acronym of the Licensed Trademarks or any word, symbol or Trademark confusingly similar to the Licensed Trademarks (each, a Variation);
(d) use any Licensed Trademarks together with any other word, symbol or Trademark so as to form a composite Trademark (each, a Composite);
4
(e) represent to any other Person that Licensee, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person (other than Licensor or its successors in interest to the Licensed Trademarks) has or will have any ownership interest in any Licensed Trademarks;
(f) grant or attempt to grant a security interest in or lien on, record any security interest or lien on, or otherwise encumber, any Licensed Trademarks or this Agreement; or
(g) contest, challenge or otherwise make any claim or take any action adverse to Licensors ownership of or interest in, or the validity of, the Licensed Trademarks, including in any proceeding before any Governmental Authority.
5. Transfer of Rights. If Licensee has or acquires any rights in, to or under the Licensed Trademarks, or any Registrations, Composites or Variations, Licensee hereby irrevocably assigns all such rights to Licensor. At the reasonable request of Licensor, Licensee will execute any document, and perform any act reasonably necessary to obtain or confirm, Licensors or its designees exclusive ownership interest in and to the Licensed Trademarks and Registrations, in each applicable jurisdiction, including executing and delivering applications, oaths, declarations, affidavits, waivers, assignments and other documents.
6. Compliance with Laws. Licensee will comply with all applicable Laws in connection with its use of the Licensed Trademarks, including the sale, distribution, promotion and advertising of Products, in connection with its use of the Advertising Materials, and in connection with any other exercise of the rights and licenses granted to it under this Agreement.
7. Quality Control.
(a) Licensee will use the Licensed Trademarks under the terms of this Agreement solely in a manner consistent with the operation of the Animal Health Business for the six (6) month period immediately prior to the Effective Date or as otherwise approved in writing by Licensor.
(b) Licensee will comply with any specifications, standards and directions that Licensor may provide in writing from time to time relating to the use of the Licensed Trademarks under this Agreement.
(c) Concerning any Products manufactured by Licensor or its Subsidiaries, or by any Third Party in privity of contract with Licensor or its Subsidiaries, Licensee will not tamper, modify or otherwise take any action to affect the quality of such Products.
(d) Concerning any Products manufactured by Licensee or its Subsidiaries, or by any Third Party in privity of contract with Licensee or its Subsidiaries, Licensee will ensure that such Products at all times meet or exceed (i) the quality and manufacturing standards of similar products in the Products industry, (ii) the then-current Good Manufacturing Practices applicable to such Products, (iii) any other standards imposed by the applicable Governmental Authorities and (iv) any specifications and quality provisions set forth in any agreement entered into by the Parties. Licensee will notify Licensor in writing in the event that any Product does not meet such standards.
5
(e) Inspection. Licensee will permit Licensor to enter any place used for the storage or distribution of the Products, Advertising Materials or Company Books and Records to inspect (at reasonable times and on reasonable advance notice) the methods of storage and distribution to ensure compliance with the quality standards, or any other specifications or requirements, described in this Agreement. Licensee will promptly cease all use of any Licensed Trademark identified by Licensor that does not comply with this Agreement.
(f) Notice. Except where Product Packaging or Advertising Materials originate with Licensor or Licensors Subsidiary, Licensee will, to the extent physically practicable, include on all Product Packaging and Advertising Materials that bear a Licensed Trademark (i) a statement that the Licensed Trademark used thereon is a trademark of Licensor and used under license (or any similar statement required by Licensor concerning the status of the Licensed Trademarks), and (ii) the symbols ®, or other notice required by Licensor and/or the applicable Governmental Authority in proximity to each prominent use of such Licensed Trademark.
8. Enforcement and Maintenance.
(a) Notification. Licensee will promptly notify Licensor upon becoming aware of any use of, or any application or registration for, a Licensed Trademark by any Third Party which Licensee considers might be (i) an infringement, dilution or other violation of such Licensed Trademark or (ii) a claim asserted by any Person that such Licensed Trademark is invalid or that Licensees use of such Licensed Trademark infringes, dilutes or otherwise violates any Persons Trademark or other rights.

Licensee will not assert or maintain any claim against Licensor based on or arising out of Licensors handling of or decisions concerning any Action or any settlement or compromise thereof, and Licensee hereby irrevocably releases Licensor from all such claims.
