WHEREAS, Purchasers and Licensee acknowledge that Licensor is not in the business of licensing out its intellectual property to third parties as set forth in this Agreement and that such licensing will be provided by Licensor at Purchasers’ request and solely to accommodate Purchasers, Licensee and Additional Licensees (as defined below) to maintain the continuity of the Business while Licensee and Additional Licensees each phase out the use of the intellectual property licensed under this Agreement and Additional License Agreements (as defined below), respectively, over the course of the Term of this Agreement and Additional License Agreements, respectively (“Transition”).

WHEREAS, Licensor owns trademarks, service marks, logos, business names, commercial names, trade names, domain names, and registrations and applications therefor, consisting of or containing the word KAMAN in standard characters and/or in stylized typeface and/or in colors and/or in combination with other words and letters and/or in combination with graphic elements (collectively the “KAMAN Marks”), and included within the KAMAN Marks are those certain registered service marks set forth in Schedule A as well as certain related common law service mark rights to KAMAN owned by Licensor (collectively, the “Licensed Marks”) and those certain domain names set forth in Schedule B (the “Licensed Domain Names”).

WHEREAS, within the Business, Licensee is engaged in (a) the service of promoting, advertising, distributing and selling the following third party goods: power transmission products and components, industrial automation products and components, fluid power products and components, electro-mechanical products and components, bearings, motion control products and components, and electrical power products and components (collectively, the “Third Party Industrial Goods”); (b) providing services in connection with its engineered integrated solutions, including, maintenance, repair and other services related thereto (“Industrial Services”) and (c) selling products resulting from Licensee’s Industrial Services that are assembled by Licensee (“Licensee Goods”).

WHEREAS, in connection with the Transition, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Purchasers desire to have Licensee receive from Licensor, and Licensor desires to grant to Licensee, a license to the Licensed Marks as part of the Combination Marks (as defined below) and Licensed Domain Names in the manner set forth in this Agreement.

WHEREAS, also in connection with the Transition, under separate Trademark, Trade Name and Domain Name License Agreements (each an “Additional License Agreement” and, collectively, the “Additional License Agreements”), Licensor has granted to [LJ KIT Blocker, Inc., LJ KAI Blocker, Inc.,

LJ KFP Blocker, Inc., Kaman Industrial Technologies Corporation, Ruby Automation, LLC, Kaman Fluid Power, LLC, and Ruby PR, LLC] (each an “Additional Licensee” and, collectively, the “Additional Licensees”) a license to the Licensed Marks as part of the Combination Marks and Licensed Domain Names.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Grant of License.

(a)    Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a non-exclusive, non‑transferable, non‑sublicensable, non‑assignable, royalty free, fully paid up, license to use, within the Licensed Territory (as defined herein), the (i) Licensed Marks as part of the trade names set forth in Schedule C (each a “Combination Mark” and collectively the “Combination Marks”) on signage located on the exterior or interior of, or immediately adjacent to, facilities, including retail stores, owned or operated by Licensee (collectively, “Facilities”), in connection with the Business; (ii) Combination Marks and Licensed Domain Names in connection with the services of promoting, advertising, distributing, and selling the Third Party Industrial Goods and in connection with promoting, advertising and providing the Industrial Services; and (iii) Combination Marks on and in connection with the promotion, advertising, distribution, and sale of Licensee Goods ((i), (ii) and (iii) collectively, the “Licensed Goods and Services”), provided, that, the Licensed Marks, when used as part of the Combination Marks pursuant to the licenses granted in this Section 1(a), will be in standard characters which are either (x) red in color or (y) white outlined against a red background; provided further, that Licensee’s use of the Combination Marks, in substantially the same manner in which Licensee used such Combination Marks during the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the Closing Date, shall be deemed licensed hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the license grant in Section 1(a)(ii) permits Licensee to use the Combination Marks on packaging, boxes and packaging tape used by Licensee in connection with the distribution of Third Party Industrial Goods (but not on the Third Party Industrial Goods themselves) and the license grant in Section 1(a)(iii) permits Licensee to include the Combination Marks on packaging, boxes and packaging tape used by Licensee in connection with the distribution of the Licensee Goods as well on the Licensee Goods themselves.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, subject to Licensee’s covenant pursuant to Section 3 to use its commercially reasonable efforts to phase out use of the Licensed Marks, Licensee is permitted to continue to use the Licensed Marks as follows to the extent such use is outside the scope of the applicable license grant in Section 1(a):

(i)     during the Term, to sell off any inventory of Licensee Goods that exists as of the Closing Date and on which the Licensed Mark is affixed;

(ii)     during the Term, to continue to display, in connection with the Business, existing signage that is located, as of the Closing Date, (x) on the exterior or interior of, or immediately adjacent to, the Facilities, and (y) on motor and commercial vehicles (including trucks), in each case, on which the Licensed Mark is affixed;

(iii)    during the Term, to continue to use packaging, boxes and packaging tape that exists as of the Closing Date and on which the Licensed Mark is affixed, in

connection with the distribution of Third Party Industrial Goods and Licensee Goods, until such existing packaging, boxes and packaging tape is exhausted;

(iv) for ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date, to continue to use the advertising and marketing materials that exist as of the Closing Date and on which the Licensed Mark is affixed;

(v) during the Term, to continue to provide, to Licensee’s employees, apparel that exists as of the Closing Date and on which the Licensed Mark is affixed, until the existing inventory of such apparel is exhausted;

(vi) for ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date, to continue to use the Licensed Mark on Licensee’s company website and intranet site in the same manner undertaken by Licensee as of the Closing Date; and

(vii) for ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date, to continue to use the Licensed Mark as part of the name PEAK KAMAN in the same way undertaken by Licensee as of the Closing Date.

(c)    Licensee shall not use the Combination Marks or Licensed Domain Names except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, no Licensee shall use the Licensed Marks, Combination Marks or Licensed Domain Names as a portion of, or in combination with, any other trademarks, service marks, trade names, works, letters, logos or other graphic elements; provided, however, that Licensee may use the Combination Marks with the new trademarks adopted by the Licensee to replace the Licensed Marks on notices to its customers alerting its customers to the change in name of the Licensee so long as the Combination Marks and the new trademarks are not set out in the notice in a manner that suggests the creation of a new combination mark. Within sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing Date, Licensee must file (or causing to be filed) the appropriate submissions with the applicable Governmental Authority to effectuate the removal of Kaman from its corporate name.

2.    Reservation of Rights. Licensor hereby reserves all rights not expressly granted to Licensee under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all rights granted to Licensee under this Agreement are subject to Licensor’s and its Affiliates’ reserved rights to use the Licensed Marks, Combination Marks and Licensed Domain Names in their own respective businesses, including, without limitation, in connection with the manufacture, promotion, advertising, distribution, and sale of any products and services that are the same as, similar to, or otherwise competitive with any Licensed Goods and Services or the Business, anywhere in the world, including, without limitation, the Licensed Territory.

3. Term. Unless sooner terminated by any Party in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the term of this Agreement and the licenses granted hereby shall commence as of the Closing Date and shall expire five (5) years after the Closing Date (the “Term”), provided, however, that Licensee covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to phase out the use of the Licensed Marks and Licensed Domain Names as soon as is reasonably practicable prior to the expiration of the Term. No rights shall extend to Licensee beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Licensee is not entitled to any compensatory payment during the Term of this Agreement or after the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

4. Licensed Territory. This Agreement and the licenses granted herein shall apply within North America, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Caribbean (collectively, the “Licensed Territory”).

5. Quality Control. Licensee acknowledges that uniform and high standards of quality are necessary to maintain the public image, reputation, widespread acceptance, and substantial goodwill represented by and associated with the Licensed Marks and Licensed Domain Names. Licensee shall use the Licensed Marks and Licensed Domain Names in accordance with the guidelines attached hereto as Schedule D and any other trademark usage guidelines that Licensor may furnish to Licensees from time to time, each of which may be revised from time to time by Licensor, provided, that, Licensor shall provide Licensee with at least one hundred eighty (180) days’ notice of such revisions before Licensee shall implement such revisions; and provided further, that Licensor will not provide to Licensee any such notice during the two (2) year period after the Closing Date. The quality of the Licensed Goods and Services under this Agreement shall be at least of equal quality to the Licensed Goods and Services provided by Licensee prior to the Closing Date. Licensee shall comply with all applicable national, state, regional, provincial, and local laws and regulations in its performance of this Agreement and the licenses granted herein. Upon Licensor’s request, within five (5) Business Days after such request, Licensee shall submit to Licensor for Licensor’s prior approval (a) representative samples of use of the Combination Marks or Licensed Domain Names on or in connection with the Licensed Goods and Services and (b) all advertising and marketing materials in which any of the Combination Marks or Licensed Domain Names are used; provided, that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensee may continue to use during the Term all advertising and marketing materials in existence as of the Closing Date on the condition that such advertising and marketing materials are compliant with the scope of the license grant in Section 1(a). If Licensor fails to notify such Licensee in writing of the disapproval of any such samples or materials within thirty (30) calendar days after Licensor’s receipt, Licensor shall be deemed to have approved such samples or materials, as applicable. Upon Licensor’s request, within five (5) Business Days after such request, Licensee shall also submit to Licensor then-current samples of each use of the Combination Marks or Licensed Domain Names, so that Licensor may assure itself of the maintenance of quality standards. Where appropriate, Licensee shall cause to appear on all advertising and marketing materials, and in connection with the Licensed Goods and Services themselves, a notice sufficient to inform consumers that the Licensed Marks, as part of the Combination Marks, and Licensed Domain Names are owned by Licensor (provided, that Licensee shall not be required to insert notices onto any marketing and promotional materials, letterhead, business cards and any other similar administrative materials bearing any of the Combination Marks or Licensed Domain Names existing as of the Closing Date, on the condition that such materials are compliant with the scope of the license grant in Section 1(a)).

6. Intellectual Property Ownership Rights.

(a) Acknowledgement of Licensor’s Ownership. Licensee recognizes and acknowledges Licensor’s ownership of all right, title and interest in and to Licensed Marks and Licensed Domain Names. Licensee further acknowledges, represents and warrants that it has not acquired, and shall not acquire, any ownership interest in or to the Licensed Marks or Licensed Domain Names. Should any such ownership interest become vested in Licensee, by operation of law or otherwise, such Licensee agrees to assign, and hereby assigns, all such ownership interest to Licensor without any requirement of further consideration or documentation. All use by Licensee of the Licensed Marks and Licensed Domain Names, and all goodwill and benefit arising from such use, hereby inures to the sole and exclusive benefit of Licensor.

    

(b) Cooperation with Licensor. Licensee shall cooperate, at Licensor’s cost, with Licensor in the filing and prosecution of any applications that Licensor may desire to file with respect to the Licensed Marks or Licensed Domain Names, and for that purpose, such Licensee shall supply to Licensor from time to time, and without charge, such samples and materials as may be reasonably required. Licensee shall execute and deliver to Licensor, at Licensor’s cost, at any time whether during or after the Term of this Agreement, and without any requirement of

further consideration or documentation, such documents as Licensor may reasonably request in connection with the Licensed Marks and Licensed Domain Names, including, without limitation, to confirm or record Licensor’s ownership rights therein. Should Licensee fail or refuse to provide and/or execute any such document, Licensee hereby irrevocably appoints Licensor, whose power is coupled with an interest, as Licensee’s attorney-in-fact to prepare and/or execute such document in Licensee’s name and on Licensee’s behalf, and to institute and prosecute any proceedings as Licensor may deem necessary or appropriate to secure, protect, or enforce such intellectual property, including such applications and registrations therefore. The Parties expressly agree that upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, all documents filed or recorded with a trademark office or other authority relating to the licenses granted by this Agreement may be terminated, cancelled, nullified, and/or withdrawn by Licensor alone and Licensee hereby agrees and consents to such termination, cancellation, nullification, and/or withdrawal. Licensee shall not, during the Term of this Agreement, do anything which would in any way damage, injure, or impair the validity and subsistence of the Licensed Marks or Licensed Domain Names, nor shall any Licensee attack, dispute, or challenge, nor aid others to do so, Licensor’s right, title, and interest in and to the Licensed Marks or Licensed Domain Names, or the validity of this Agreement.

(c) Cessation of Use of Licensed Intellectual Property. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall immediately cease all use of the Licensed Marks and Licensed Domain Names, and shall, at Licensor’s request, take all steps and actions as may be necessary to reflect or confirm the expiration, termination, assignment, and/or surrender of Licensee’s rights to use same.

(d) Enforcement. Licensee shall inform Licensor promptly if such Licensee learns of any products or activities which appear to infringe the Licensed Marks or Licensed Domain Names. Licensee shall provide, at Licensor’s expense, complete information, cooperation, and assistance to Licensor concerning such infringements. Upon learning of such infringements, Licensor shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its sole discretion, to take such action as Licensor considers necessary or appropriate to enforce Licensor’s rights, including, without limitation, legal action to suppress or eliminate the infringements. Licensor shall also be entitled to seek and recover all costs, expenses, and damages resulting from such infringements, including, without limitation, sums which might otherwise be due to Licensee by operation of law or otherwise. Licensee has no authority to enforce the rights of Licensor, including, without limitation, any rights in any Licensed Marks or Licensed Domain Names, nor shall any Licensee have any right to demand or control action by Licensor to enforce such rights.

(e) Expenses for Intellectual Property Protection. To the extent that Licensor engages in clearance, application, registration, recordal, opposition, cancellation, or similar activities in the Licensed Territory for any of the Licensed Marks or Licensed Domain Names, Licensor shall pay for such activities. Licensor shall further pay for any fees, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) in connection with registering, renewing, or otherwise maintaining any Licensed Domain Names.

(a)Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” of a Party means information, ideas, materials or other subject matter of such Party, whether disclosed orally, in writing, electronically or otherwise, that is provided under

circumstances reasonably indicating that it is confidential or proprietary. “Confidential Information” of a Party will include any and all trade secrets, processes, techniques, drawings, models, customer-related information and data, brand standards, computer programs, databases, business plans, technical data, product ideas, marketing data and plans, contracts and financial information disclosed or otherwise provided by the disclosing Party (“Disclosing Party”) to the receiving Party (“Receiving Party”).

(b)Restrictions on Use. Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party will not be used for any purpose other than as expressly permitted under this Agreement, and will not be disclosed to any third party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party.

The Receiving Party shall treat the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party with at least the same degree of care and protection as it would use with respect to its own confidential and proprietary information (and in no event less than a reasonable degree of care). Subject to Section 9(d), the Receiving Party shall be responsible and liable to the Disclosing Party for any breach of this Section 7 by the Receiving Party’s employees or other third parties receiving access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information through or on behalf of the Receiving Party.

(c)Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement will not prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent required by a judicial order or other legal obligation; provided, that, in such event, the Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party in writing to allow intervention (and shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party) to contest or minimize the scope of the disclosure (including application for a protective order). Further, each Party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement (i) as required by the applicable securities laws or self-regulatory bodies or the rules, regulations or policies of any United States or foreign securities exchange, including requirements to file a copy of this Agreement (redacted to the extent reasonably permitted by applicable law) or to disclose information regarding the provisions hereof or performance hereunder to applicable regulatory authorities, (ii) in confidence, to legal counsel, (iii) in confidence, to accountants, banks and financing sources and their advisors, and (iv) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any rights hereunder.

breaching Party, and this notice shall automatically become effective unless the breaching Party completely remedies the breach within the said ninety (90) calendar day period.

(b) Termination for Insolvency. If Licensee commences or becomes the subject of any case or proceeding under the bankruptcy, insolvency, or equivalent laws of the United States of America or another country, or if a court appoints a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, or other similar official for Licensee or for any substantial part of Licensee’s property, or if Licensee makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if Licensee defaults on any obligation which is secured by a security interest, in whole or in part, in the Licensed Goods and Services, or if Licensee fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due, or if Licensee takes corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing, Licensee shall give notice of the event immediately to Licensor. Whether or not such notice is given, Licensor shall have the right upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing, without prejudice to any other rights Licensor may have, to terminate this Agreement solely with respect to Licensee by giving written notice to Licensee, effective immediately.
