Each party may make appropriate and truthful references to the other party, the party's services and affiliation between the parties. 3.6 RESERVATION OF RIGHTS. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Southern shall retain all rights in and to the Licensed Marks, including without limitation: (a) All rights of ownership in and to the Licensed Marks; (b) The right to use (including the right of Southern's Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies to use) the Licensed Marks, either alone or in combination with other Marks, in connection with the marketing, offer or provision of any product or service, including any product or service which competes with Southern Energy Business products or services; and (c) The right to license Third Parties to use the Licensed Marks. 3.7 SUBLICENSES. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including all applicable Trademark Usage Guidelines and other restrictions in this Agreement, Southern Energy may grant sublicenses to its Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies to use the Licensed Marks in accordance with the license grant above; provided, that (i) Southern Energy enters into a written sublicense agreement with each such Subsidiary or Affiliated Company sublicensee, and (ii) such agreement does not include the right to grant further sublicenses other than, in the case of a sublicensed Subsidiary or Affiliated Company of Southern Energy, to another Subsidiary or Affiliated Company of Southern Energy. Southern Energy shall provide copies of such written sublicense agreements to Southern upon request. If Southern Energy grants any sublicense rights pursuant to this Section (a) and any such sublicensed Subsidiary or Affiliated Company ceases to be a Subsidiary or Affiliated Company, then the sublicense granted to such Subsidiary pursuant to this Section shall terminate one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such cessation. 3.8 ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENTS. Southern Energy shall take all appropriate measures at Southern Energy's expense promptly and diligently to enforce the terms of any sublicense agreement or other agreement with any Subsidiary or Affiliated Company, and shall restrain any such Subsidiary or Affiliated Company from violating such terms, including without limitation (i) monitoring the Subsidiaries' and Affiliated Companies' compliance with the relevant Trademark Usage Guidelines and causing any noncomplying Subsidiary or Affiliated 12 16 Company promptly to remedy any failure, (ii) terminating such agreement and/or (iii) commencing legal action, in each case, using a standard of care consistent with Southern's practices as of the Separation Date. In the event that Southern determines that Southern Energy has failed promptly and diligently to enforce the terms of any such agreement using such standard of care, Southern reserves the right to enforce such terms, and Southern Energy shall reimburse Southern for its fully allocated direct costs and expenses incurred in enforcing such agreement, plus all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, plus five percent (5%) (or, if such costs and expenses are incurred more than two (2) years after the Separation Date, ten percent (10%)). 3.9 ROYALTIES. The license granted in this Article III shall be royalty-free. 3.10 TRADEMARK USAGE GUIDELINES. Southern Energy and its Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies shall use the Licensed Marks only in a manner that is consistent with the Trademark Usage Guidelines. 3.11 OWNERSHIP AND RIGHTS. Southern Energy agrees not to challenge the ownership or validity of the Licensed Marks. Southern Energy shall not disparage, dilute or adversely affect the validity of the Licensed Marks.

Southern Energy shall assist Southern, at Southern's request and expense, in the procurement and maintenance of Southern's intellectual property rights in the Licensed Marks. Southern Energy will not grant or attempt to grant a security interest in the Licensed Marks, or to record any such security interest in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or elsewhere, against any trademark application or registration belonging to Southern. Southern Energy agrees to, and to cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies to, execute all documents reasonably requested by Southern to effect further registration of, maintenance and renewal of the Licensed Marks, recordation of the license relationship between Southern and Southern Energy, and recordation of Southern Energy as a registered user. Southern makes no warranty or representation that trademark registrations have been or will be applied for, secured or maintained in the Licensed Marks throughout, or anywhere within, the world. Southern Energy shall cause to appear on all documents, instruments or other materials bearing the Licensed Marks, such legends, markings and notices as may be required by applicable law or reasonably requested by Southern. 3.13 SIMILAR MARKS. Southern Energy agrees not to use or register in any country any Mark that infringes Southern's rights in the Licensed Marks, or any element thereof. If any application for registration is, or has been, filed in any country by Southern Energy which relates to any Mark that infringes Southern's rights in the Licensed Marks, Southern Energy shall immediately abandon any such application or registration or assign it to Southern. Southern Energy shall not challenge Southern's ownership of or the validity of the Licensed Marks or any application for registration thereof throughout the world. Southern Energy shall not use or register in any country any copyright, domain name, telephone number or any other intellectual 13 17 property right, whether recognized currently or in the future, or other designation which would create a likelihood of confusion or otherwise affects the ownership or rights of Southern in and to the Licensed Marks, or otherwise to take any action which would adversely affect any of such ownership rights, or assist anyone else in doing so. Southern Energy shall cause its Subsidiaries, Affiliated Companies and Authorized Dealers to comply with the provisions of this Section. 3.14 INFRINGEMENT PROCEEDINGS. In the event that Southern Energy learns of any infringement or threatened infringement of the Licensed Marks, or any unfair competition, passing-off or dilution with respect to the Licensed Marks, Southern Energy shall notify Southern or its authorized representative giving particulars thereof, and Southern Energy shall provide necessary information and assistance to Southern or its authorized representatives at Southern's expense in the event that Southern decides that proceedings should be commenced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Southern Energy is not obligated to monitor or police use of the Licensed Marks by Third Parties other than any sublicenses granted by it. Southern shall have exclusive control of any litigation, opposition, cancellation or related legal proceedings. The decision whether to bring, maintain or settle any such proceedings shall be at the exclusive option and expense of Southern, and all recoveries shall belong exclusively to Southern. Southern Energy shall not and shall have no right to initiate any such litigation, opposition, cancellation or related legal proceedings in its own name, but, at Southern's request, agrees to be joined as a party in any action taken by Southern to enforce its rights in the Licensed Marks. Southern shall incur no liability to Southern Energy or any other Person under any legal theory by reason of Southern's failure or refusal to prosecute or by Southern's refusal to permit Southern Energy to prosecute, any alleged infringement by Third Parties, nor by reason of any settlement to which Southern may agree. 3.15 TERMINATION. (a) By written notice to Southern, Southern Energy may voluntarily terminate all or a specified portion of the licenses and rights granted to it hereunder by Southern. Such notice shall specify the effective date of such termination and shall clearly specify any affected Licensed Marks.

Neither party has any obligation to disclose or provide copies to the other party any other Patents, Patent applications or Invention Disclosures. The licenses granted under this Agreement cover only statutory rights under Patents and statutory rights (if any) under Patent applications. Trade secret and other non-Patent licenses with respect to inventions described in Invention Disclosures and Patent applications shall be solely as set forth in Article IV herein. 4.9 ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS WITH REGARD TO SOUTHERN PATENTS. Southern Energy acknowledges that its employees and contractors who are former Southern employees and contractors have a continuing duty to assist Southern with the prosecution of Southern Patent applications and, accordingly, Southern Energy agrees to make available, to Southern or its counsel, inventors and other persons employed by Southern Energy for interviews and/or testimony to assist in good faith in further prosecution, maintenance or litigation of the Southern Patents, including the signing of documents related thereto. Any actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with such assistance shall be borne by Southern, expressly excluding the value of the time of such Southern Energy personnel; provided, however, that in the case of assistance with litigation, the parties shall agree on a case by case basis on compensation, if any, of Southern Energy for the value of the time of Southern Energy's employees as reasonably required in connection with such litigation. 4.10 DEFENSIVE PROTECTION MEASURES. The parties shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith to the extent consistent with each party's own business objectives in the event that either party is involved in Patent litigation or controversies in which it would be helped in some way by the other party's Patents or relevant knowledge. Such cooperation may include, by way of example, (i) cooperation with respect to knowledge of prior art (whether the other party's or a Third Party's), (ii) consent to the granting of licenses to such other party's Patents, and (iii) assignment to such party of such other party's Patents for the purpose of bringing a counterclaim against a Third Party. The party requesting such cooperation shall bear the actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the cooperating party (except for the value of the time of the cooperating party's employees). 4.11 STANDARDS BODIES. The parties agree to cooperate reasonably and in good faith with each other with respect to the licensing of each party's Patents in the context of standards bodies, to the extent consistent with each party's own business objectives. 4.12 ASSIGNMENT OF PATENTS. Southern shall not assign or grant any rights under any of the Southern Patents unless such assignment or grant is made subject to the licenses granted in this Agreement. Southern Energy shall not assign or grant any rights under any of the Southern Energy Patents unless such assignment or grant is made subject to the licenses granted in this Agreement. 4.13 RESPONSE TO REQUESTS. Each party shall, upon a request from the other party sufficiently identifying any Patent or Patent application, inform the other party as to the extent to which said Patent or Patent application is subject to the licenses and other rights granted 16 20 hereunder. If such licenses or other rights under said Patent or Patent application are restricted in scope, copies of all pertinent provisions of any contract or other arrangement creating such restrictions shall, upon request, be furnished to the party making such request, unless such disclosure is prevented by such contract or other arrangement, and in such event, a statement of the nature of such restriction shall be provided. 4.14 RECORDATION OF LICENSES. (a) For any country, now or in the future, that requires the express consent of all inventors or their assignees to the grant of licenses or rights under Patents issued in such countries for joint inventions: (i) each party shall give such consent, or shall obtain such consent from its employees, its Subsidiaries or employees of any of its Subsidiaries, as required to make full and effective any such licenses and rights respecting any joint invention granted to a grantee hereunder by such party; and (ii) each party shall take steps that are reasonable under the circumstances to obtain from Third Parties whatever other consents are necessary to make full and effective such licenses and rights respecting any joint invention purported to be granted by it hereunder. If, in spite of such reasonable steps, such party is unable to obtain the requisite consents from such Third Parties, the resulting inability of such party to make full and effective its purported grant of such licenses and rights shall not be considered to be a breach of this Agreement. (b) Each party agrees, without demanding any further consideration, to execute (and to cause its Subsidiaries or Affiliated Companies to execute) all documents reasonably requested by the other party to effect recordation of the license relationship between the parties created by this Agreement. ARTICLE V CONFIDENTIALITY The terms of the Master Confidential Disclosure Agreement between the parties shall apply to any Confidential Information (as defined therein) which is the subject matter of this Agreement.

If the parties' representatives are unable to resolve the dispute, the 17 21 dispute resolution procedures set forth in the Master Separation Agreement shall be followed. ARTICLE VII LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATED COMPANIES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATED COMPANIES FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL NOT LIMIT DAMAGES FOR INFRINGEMENT AVAILABLE TO EITHER PARTY UNDER APPLICABLE LAW IN THE EVENT OF BREACH BY THE OTHER PARTY OF THE LICENSES GRANTED HEREIN AND SHALL NOT LIMIT EACH PARTY'S OBLIGATIONS EXPRESSLY ASSUMED IN THE MASTER SEPARATION AGREEMENT; PROVIDED FURTHER THAT THE EXCLUSION OF PUNITIVE DAMAGES SHALL APPLY IN ANY EVENT.
