Except as otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Trademark License Agreement.
WHEREAS, Third Point, as Licensor, and TPRE, as Licensee, are parties to a Trademark License Agreement, dated December 22, 2011 (the “Trademark License Agreement”), providing for the licensing of certain Licensed Marks as specified in Schedule A to the Trademark License Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Existing Parties desire to amend the Trademark Licensing Agreement to add (i) TPRUSH, and (ii) TPRUSL (each, an “Additional Licensee”), as parties to the Trademark License Agreement with effect from January 28, 2015.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, each Party hereby agrees as follows:
1.    Joinder. Each of the Additional Licensees hereby acknowledges that it has received and reviewed a copy of the Trademark License Agreement and all other documents it deems fit to enter into this Joinder Agreement, and acknowledges and agrees, by execution of this Joinder Agreement, to: (i) join and become a party to the Trademark License Agreement as indicated; (ii) be bound by all terms, provisions, obligations and conditions attributed to such party in the Trademark License Agreement; (iii) perform all obligations and duties required of it pursuant to the Trademark License Agreement; and (iv) enjoy all of the rights attributed to such party, in each case, as if such Additional Licensee had been a party to and had executed the Trademark License Agreement.
2.    Amendment of Trademark License Agreement. The Trademark License Agreement is hereby amended pursuant to Section 11.5 thereof to (i) add the Additional Licensees as “Licensees” and “Parties” for all purposes pursuant to the Trademark License Agreement, with effect from January 28, 2015, and (ii) make the license grant in Section 2.1 thereof nunc pro tunc as of January 28, 2015 with respect to each Additional Licensee.
3.    Amendment and Restatement of Schedules to Trademark License Agreement. The Trademark License Agreement is hereby amended pursuant to Section 11.5 thereof to amend and restate Schedules B and C thereto in accordance with Exhibits A and B herein, respectively.




4.    Representations and Warranties and Agreements. Each party to this Joinder Agreement hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.1 of the Trademark License Agreement to each other party to this Joinder Agreement.
5.    Authority. Nothing in this Joinder Agreement is or will be deemed to (a) make any Party or any employee of such Party the agent, employee, or partner of any other Party, or (b) provide any Party or any employee of such Party with the authority to act on behalf of any other Party or to bind any other Party to any contract, agreement, and/or other similar legally binding obligation.
6.    Governing Law. This Joinder Agreement, the Trademark License Agreement, as amended hereby, and their enforcement are governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict-of-laws principles that would apply the laws of another jurisdiction.
7.    Further Assurances. Each Party shall execute and deliver all such future instruments and take such other and further action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to carry out the intention of the Parties expressed in this Joinder Agreement and the Trademark License Agreement, as amended hereby.
8.     Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Joinder Agreement is determined for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, and/or unenforceable, then the remaining provisions of this Joinder Agreement will be unimpaired, and each illegal, invalid, and/or unenforceable provision will be replaced by a mutually acceptable provision, which being legal, valid, and enforceable, comes closest to the intention of the Parties underlying the illegal, invalid, and/or unenforceable provision.
9.    Counterparts. This Joinder Agreement and the Trademark License Agreement, as amended hereby, may be executed in more than one counterpart, each of which upon execution and delivery will constitute an original and all of which when taken together will constitute one agreement.
10.     Entire Agreement. This Joinder Agreement and the Trademark License Agreement, as amended hereby, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties as to their subject matter, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to such subject matter.
11.    No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided herein, nothing in this Joinder Agreement shall confer any rights upon any person or entity other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
12.    Ratification of Trademark License Agreement. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Trademark License Agreement is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Joinder Agreement shall form a part of the Trademark License Agreement for all purposes, and every Party hereto shall be bound hereby.
