Except as permitted in accordance with SECTION 3.3(b) hereof, Licensee acknowledges that absent Licensor's express written consent, Licensee shall have no right to, and no right to authorize others to, use and Licensee agrees not to so use or authorize others to so use any trademarks that are the same as or confusingly similar to the Trademarks outside of the Territory.

(b) Licensee may request that Licensor grant Licensee the right to produce, market, advertise, promote, sell, distribute or offer for sale products in countries outside the Territory under one or more trademarks that are the same as or confusingly similar to the Trademarks. In such event, Licensor shall enter into good faith negotiations with Licensee regarding a license for such additional country or countries on terms and conditions mutually acceptable to Licensor and Licensee.
2.4. GRANT OF LICENSE TO TECHNICAL INFORMATION AND PATENT RIGHTS. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Licensor (for itself and its Affiliates) hereby grants to Licensee, to the extent Licensor or its Affiliates has the right to do so, the following rights: (a) an exclusive license (even as to Licensor and its Affiliates) to use the Technical Information and the Patent Rights in the Territory; and (b) a non-exclusive license to use the Technical Information outside the Territory, in each case without restriction as to use thereof by Licensee and its Affiliates in the conduct of any and all aspects of their respective businesses.

2.6. CONTINUED USE OF PATENT RIGHTS AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION. In the event of any termination of this Agreement, Licensee's rights hereunder with respect to the Patent Rights and Technical Information shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be impaired or diminished, except that Licensee's rights with respect to the use of the Patent Rights and Technical Information in the Territory shall thereafter become non-exclusive.
2.7. NO INFRINGEMENT. Licensor (for itself and its Affiliates) represents and warrants that the Technical Information and Patent Rights comprise all such information and patents used heretofore by Licensor or any of its pre-Effective Date Affiliates in connection with the development, production, manufacture, distribution and sale of the Products in the Territory and that to its knowledge the Technical Information and Patent Rights do not infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property rights of any third party.
2.8. BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY. (a) The rights granted to Licensee and its Affiliates under this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for the purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, a license of "intellectual property" rights as defined in Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy Code. Licensee, as licensee of rights under this Agreement, may fully exercise all of
Page 6 of 34 Pages
its rights for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates under the Bankruptcy Code, including, but not limited to, Licensee's rights to continue to exercise its rights licensed hereunder.
(b) Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a first priority
security interest in the Trademarks, Patent Rights and Technical Information,
together with all good will associated therewith, to secure performance by
Licensor of its obligations under this Agreement. Licensor shall cooperate and
assist Licensee with the execution and filing of all documents necessary to
perfect and record such grant of security interest in the Territory, including
without limitation, filings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
all of the expenses associated therewith being for the account of Licensee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no security interest is granted under this
Agreement in any Trademark, Patent Right or Technical Information in any part of
the Territory where such grant would harm the validity of any such Trademark,
Patent Right or Technical Information. Licensee agrees that it will, at its
expense, (i) terminate all security interests in the Trademarks, if this
Agreement is terminated by Licensee pursuant to the provisions of SECTION 7.1 or
if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the provisions of SECTION 8.1(b),
and (ii) terminate all security interests in the Xylifresh and Storm Mint
Trademarks in the event this Agreement is deemed to be terminated with regard to
said Trademarks pursuant to the provisions of SECTION 5.1. Licensee further
agrees that in the event this Agreement and the Trademarks, Patent Rights and
Technical Information are assigned by Licensor pursuant to the provisions of
SECTION 10.3, Licensee will release its security interest vis-a-vis Licensor
provided that Licensor and such assignee have previously taken all reasonable
steps necessary, at Licensee's expense, to put Licensee in the same secured
position with respect to the Trademarks, Patent Rights and Technical Information
as Licensee was in prior to any such assignment and Licensee further agrees to
cooperate and assist Licensor and such assignee in that regard.
3.1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AS TO TRADEMARKS. As to the Trademarks, Licensor represents and warrants to Licensee that as of the Effective Date:
(i) Licensor is the sole and exclusive owner of the entire right, title and interest in and to the Trademarks, with full right to enter into this Agreement;
(ii) The Trademarks do not infringe upon any registered or common
Page 7 of 34 Pages
law trademarks in the Territory and, to the knowledge of Licensor, do not infringe or misappropriate any other proprietary rights of any third parties;
(iii) There are not now pending or threatened any claims or litigation and to the best of Licensor's knowledge, information and belief no basis for any such claims exist, which would affect the Trademarks;
(iv) Except as set forth on SCHEDULE A, Licensor has granted no other right or license permitting the use in the Territory of the Trademarks; and
(v) To the extent so identified in SCHEDULE A each of the Trademarks is duly registered with the appropriate government agencies in each country in the Territory indicated on SCHEDULE A with respect thereto and the rights therein have not been abandoned.
3.2. NOTICE OF INFRINGEMENT AND PROTECTION OF TRADEMARKS. Each of the parties hereto agrees to give the other party written notice of any actual or threatened infringement of the Trademarks by a third party in the Territory, promptly after information with respect to such infringement or threatened infringement comes to its attention. Licensee is hereby given the right, but not the obligation, to bring suit or take other action to eliminate such infringement or threatened infringement at its own expense in the name of itself, Licensor or both itself and Licensor, provided that Licensee shall provide prior notice to Licensor when bringing suit or taking other action in the name of Licensor or both itself and Licensor, and provided further that Licensee shall notify Licensor promptly after bringing suit or taking other action in its own name. Licensee shall not obligate Licensor for, or shall indemnify Licensor against, any costs, expenses, attorneys' fees or other obligations in connection with any such action or proceeding. Further, Licensor shall cooperate with Licensee at Licensee's expense in connection with any such action or proceeding. Any damages recovered in any such action or proceeding, less all court costs and other expenses, including expenses incurred by Licensor, shall be for the account of Licensee. If, after learning of an infringement of the Trademarks in the Territory, Licensee chooses not to bring suit against such infringer or take other action to eliminate such infringement or threatened infringement, Licensor shall have the right but not the obligation to bring an action against such infringer at its own expense and any final award or settlement resulting therefrom shall be for the account of Licensor.

3.3. MAINTENANCE OF TRADEMARKS. (a) Licensee, at its own expense, shall have primary responsibility for the maintenance of all registrations of the Trademarks, and shall pursue any applications for registration therefor (and shall have the right to pursue registration of any trademark identical to a Trademark in jurisdictions within the Territory where such registration does not exist on the Effective Date), on behalf of the Licensor, and, in the service thereof, shall provide Licensor with such documentation as may be necessary to permit Licensor to execute any applications for registrations and renewals as may be necessary with respect to such Trademarks (or trademarks) in the name of Licensor. If the Licensor shall fail to take any action appropriately requested by Licensee to maintain or register a Trademark (or trademark identical to a Trademark as provided for above), Licensee may, after written notice to Licensor, register such Trademark (or trademark) in its own name and thereafter promptly assign such registration to Licensor. The parties agree to cooperate in obtaining and maintaining such registrations, renewals and assignments, if any. All trademark rights obtained in accordance with the provisions of this SECTION 3.3 shall be included within the license grant of SECTION 2.1 immediately upon such acquisition and without the requirement of any further action by Licensor or Licensee; and SCHEDULE A hereto shall be supplemented accordingly.
(b) Licensee may request that Licensor, at its own expense (i) pursue applications for registration of trademarks which are the same as any of the Trademarks in one or more countries identified by Licensee outside the Territory, other than countries in Europe or Africa, and (ii) take all steps necessary or appropriate to maintain the registrations of any such trademarks in such countries. In the event Licensor chooses not to pursue such applications for registration, Licensee shall have the right to do so on behalf of and in the name of Licensor and at Licensee's expense, PROVIDED, that Licensee gives Licensor at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of its intention to file any such application and Licensee provides Licensor with an opportunity to review any such application or other necessary materials prior to filing. In the event Licensor fails to take steps necessary to maintain the registrations of such trademarks in such countries, Licensee shall have the right, at Licensee's expense, to take the minimum steps necessary to preclude cancellation of such registrations on any grounds provided that Licensee's activities in such regard do not prejudice Licensor's right to commence commercial sales of products under such trademarks in any such country and provided further that this sentence shall not be deemed to confer upon Licensee any continuing license to use such trademarks in any such country or to sell or market any such products in such country other than as permitted by the foregoing.
3.4. MODIFICATION OF TRADEMARKS AND TRADE DRESS. Licensee shall have the right to modify the format of the Trademarks and the Trade Dress associated
Page 9 of 34 Pages
therewith if in its reasonable business judgment it determines that such modifications are necessary or desirable in any portion of the Territory. Any such modified Trademarks shall be owned by Licensor and shall be included within the license grant of SECTION 2.1 and shall be considered a Trademark under this Agreement without the requirement of any notice to or further action by Licensor or Licensee and SCHEDULE A hereto shall be supplemented accordingly. Licensee shall have the right to pursue registration in Licensor's name in the Territory of any such modified Trademark in accordance with SECTION 3.3.
4.1. WARRANTY AS TO PRODUCTS. Licensee warrants to Licensor that the Products in connection with which the Trademarks are used shall, at all times, conform to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and shall conform in all material respects with all laws and regulations applicable in the Territory. Products will be produced, packaged, advertised and distributed consistent with the quality standards applied prior to the Effective Date by Licensor or any of its pre-Effective Date Affiliates to the Products in the Territory and any new Products introduced after the Effective Date of this Agreement shall also be produced and packaged consistent with such quality standards. In the case of new Products which are not confectionery products, such Products shall be produced consistent with the quality standards applied by reputable manufacturers of such products.
4.2. INSPECTIONS AND SAMPLES. Licensee agrees that Licensor or its duly authorized agent (PROVIDED THAT Licensor or such agent shall have executed a confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory to Licensee) shall have the right, on an annual basis at a time to be agreed upon by Licensor and Licensee, to inspect the manufacturing process utilized to produce the Products under this Agreement to ensure compliance with the quality standards set forth herein. The inspection shall be limited to those areas of the facilities where the Products are manufactured, and the Licensor agrees to such restrictions on such inspections as may be required under the Licensee's contractual arrangements with third parties. During such inspections, (i) review may be made of quality control and manufacturing reports as may be reasonably requested, (ii) Licensor or its duly authorized agent may take a reasonable number of representative samples of the Products for quality audit purposes, and (iii) Licensor or its duly authorized agent may review representative samples of promotional, marketing and point-of-sale materials for the Products illustrating Licensee's use of the Trademarks.
Page 10 of 34 Pages
5.1. BEST EFFORTS. Licensee shall use its best efforts commercially reasonable in the circumstances and consistent with Licensee's marketing and sales promotion practices to market and promote the sale and distribution of the Products under the Trademarks in North America. It is understood and agreed between the parties that Licensee's obligation pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall not limit Licensee's ability to curtail or discontinue the marketing, promotion or sale of Products in the Territory, provided Licensee determines that it is commercially reasonable to do so based on the same criteria it employs in connection with the curtailment or discontinuance of the marketing, promotion or sale of its own confectionery products. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in the Purchase Agreement, in the event Licensee discontinues promotion and sale of Products sold under the Xylifresh and/or Storm Mint Trademarks, this Agreement will be deemed to be terminated only with regard to the Xylifresh and/or Storm Mint Trademark(s), and Licensor shall be entitled to produce, market, advertise, promote, sell, distribute and offer for sale products in the Territory bearing said Xylifresh and/or Storm Mint trademark(s).
6.1. PAYMENT OF ROYALTIES. In consideration of the right and license
herein granted to the Licensee to use the Trademarks in connection with the
Products, the Licensee agrees to pay to the Licensor, or to such other party as
the Licensor may hereafter direct to Licensee in writing, the royalties set
forth in SECTION 6.2 hereof in the amounts and manner set forth therein and in
SECTION 6.4.
6.2. ROYALTY PAYMENTS.
(a) [Confidential Information Deleted]
(b) In each Annual Period hereunder, Licensee shall make quarterly royalty payments to Licensor covering Net Sales during Licensee's accounting quarter no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three accounting quarters and sixty (60) days after the end of Licensee's fourth accounting quarter. The royalty payment for Net Sales during Licensee's fourth accounting quarter shall be adjusted to properly reflect Net Sales for the Annual Period. To the extent permitted under applicable United States securities laws, Licensee agrees that in December (following the completion of the Licensee's and its sublicensed Affiliates' annual marketing plans for the Products for the
Page 11 of 34 Pages
following fiscal year) of each year it will advise Licensor of the amount of Licensee's and its sublicensed Affiliates' planned aggregate sales of the Products for such fiscal year and Licensor agrees to treat such information confidentially.
(c) [Confidential Information Deleted]
6.3. PAYMENT OF ROYALTIES; WITHHOLDING TAXES. All royalty and interest payments shall be made in United States dollars. Royalties not paid by Licensee by the date specified in SECTION 6.2 shall bear interest from the date specified for payment herein until actually paid at an interest rate equal to the prime lending rate quoted and in effect from time to time by The Chase Manhattan Bank or its successor. All royalty payments which are required to be made hereunder by the Licensee to the Licensor shall be made in immediately available funds at a bank designated by the Licensor from time to time. All royalty payments shall be subject to any applicable taxes, if any, which are required to be withheld, PROVIDED THAT the same are forthwith remitted and evidence of such remittance to the appropriate taxing authority is provided to the Licensor upon request.
6.4. RECORDS AND REPORTS. At all times during the Term of this Agreement, Licensee shall (in accordance with its customary record retention policy) keep true, accurate and complete records of total quantities of the Products sold and the Net Sales in sufficient detail to permit the determination of royalties payable in respect thereof. At the time Licensee makes its quarterly payment of royalties pursuant to SECTION 6.2, Licensee shall provide Licensor with a royalty report for such quarter as to the royalty payments due for that quarter. The royalty report shall state, in reasonable detail, (a) the Net Sales for each Product in the Territory, (b) total Net Sales in the Territory, and (c) the amount of royalties due for such quarter. At the request and expense of Licensor, Licensee shall permit an independent public accountant selected by Licensor to have access to, examine and, with the consent of Licensee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), copy during ordinary business hours such books, records and accounts as may be necessary or advisable to enable such accountant to verify or determine the royalty paid or payable under this Agreement and Licensee shall render all reasonable assistance to such accountant in that regard.
7.1. TERM. This Agreement shall have an initial term of ten (10) years commencing on the Effective Date. Thereafter, this Agreement shall be renewed automatically without any prior notice to or action by either party or any of
Page 12 of 34 Pages
their respective Affiliates, successors or assigns for additional periods of ten
(10) years each, unless terminated (i) by Licensee at the end of the first
renewal term or any subsequent ten (10) year renewal term on not less than six
(6) months prior notice to Licensor, or (ii) pursuant to the provisions of
SECTION 8.1(b). Upon any such termination, all of the Trademarks shall remain
the property of the Licensor and no rights therein shall be deemed transferred
to the Licensee, and Licensee shall immediately cease all use of the Trademarks,
subject to Licensee's right to dispose of inventory on hand as of the date of
termination.

(b) In the event of a willful breach by Licensee of its payment obligations pursuant to ARTICLE 6 hereof, Licensor may send a written notice to Licensee stating that it has breached its payment obligations, specifying in detail the nature of such breach and requiring Licensee to rectify such breach. If such breach is not rectified by Licensee within a period of thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from Licensor, Licensor shall be entitled to exercise any remedies it may have hereunder, including termination of this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of SECTION 8.1(b), in the event Licensee disputes in good faith the alleged breach by disputing the amount of royalties owed by Licensee pursuant to SECTION 6.2 hereof, such dispute shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration pursuant to SECTION 8.3 and in accordance with the procedures set forth therein, and shall, in no event, give rise to Licensor's ability to terminate this Agreement. Such arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive dispute resolution mechanism for resolving such matter, the parties hereto voluntarily waiving for themselves and their respective Affiliates any other rights or remedies any of them may have in any jurisdiction to resolve such matter.
Page 13 of 34 Pages
8.2. OTHER MATERIAL BREACHES.
(a) Except as set forth in SECTION 8.1, in the event one party determines that the other party has committed a material breach of a provision of this Agreement, such party may provide written notice to the breaching party ("Breach Notice") specifying the material breach complained of in reasonable detail and requiring such other party to rectify such breach. The breaching party shall then have ninety (90) days from receipt of the Breach Notice to rectify such breach or, if such material breach is such that it cannot be rectified within the said ninety (90) day period but is capable of being rectified within a reasonable period of time thereafter, to begin to rectify such breach within such ninety (90) day period and thereafter to proceed diligently to complete the rectification of the breach within a reasonable period. In the event that the party receiving the Breach Notice does not rectify the breach within the time period specified in the preceding sentence, the non-breaching party shall have the right to invoke binding arbitration pursuant to SECTION 8.3. Such arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive dispute resolution mechanism for resolving such matter, the parties hereto voluntarily waiving for themselves and their respective Affiliates any other rights or remedies any of them may have in any jurisdiction to resolve such matter.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the party
receiving a Breach Notice disputes the other party's assertion that it has
committed a material breach of this Agreement, such party shall promptly, and in
any event within thirty (30) days after receiving such Breach Notice, send
written notice of such dispute to the other party. The parties shall then
commence good faith negotiations to resolve such dispute. In the event that the
parties are unable to negotiate a resolution of such dispute within sixty (60)
days of commencing such good faith negotiations, either party shall, if it
wishes to pursue such dispute, invoke binding arbitration pursuant to SECTION
8.3. Such arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive dispute resolution
mechanism for resolving such matter, the parties hereto voluntarily waiving for
themselves and their respective Affiliates any other rights or remedies any of
them may have in any jurisdiction to resolve such matter.
8.3. ARBITRATION. (a) In the event arbitration is required or invoked pursuant to SECTIONS 8.1 or 8.2, such arbitration proceeding shall be conducted under the auspices of the Center for Public Resources (the "CPR") in New York, New York pursuant to the CPR's Model ADR Procedures and Practices, Rules and Commentary for Arbitration. The arbitrators in any such arbitration shall be persons knowledgeable in the industry with regard to the subject matter of the arbitration. Both the foregoing agreement of the parties to arbitrate any and all such claims, and the results, determination, finding, judgment and/or award

rendered through such arbitration, shall be final and binding on the parties thereto and may be specifically enforced by legal proceedings in a court having jurisdiction over the party in question. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties that the arbitrators in any such arbitration shall have the right to order injunctive relief (both preliminary and permanent injunctions) and/or payment of damages as the sole and exclusive remedy or remedies awarded to either party in connection with matters referred to them pursuant to SECTIONS 8.1 and 8.2 but in no event shall they have the right to order termination of all or any part of this Agreement.
(b) Licensor shall appoint one (1) arbitrator, and Licensee one (1) arbitrator within a term of thirty (30) days from the date arbitration is required or invoked pursuant to SECTIONS 8.1 or 8.2, and the two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall appoint the third arbitrator (who shall also be knowledgeable in the industry with regard to the subject matter of the arbitration) within a term of thirty (30) days from the date on which the later of the two (2) arbitrators has been selected.
(c) If either Licensor or Licensee fails to select its arbitrator within the term mentioned above, or in the event that the two (2) selected arbitrators are unable or unwilling to select a third arbitrator within thirty (30) days following the selection of the later of them, then the CPR shall select such arbitrator (meeting the criteria set out in SECTION 8.3(b)), and the three (3) arbitrators so selected shall constitute the arbitration panel for purposes of the dispute. The parties shall have thirty (30) days thereafter to submit their position to the arbitrators. The arbitrators shall be instructed and required to render their decision within thirty (30) days following completion of the arbitration.
(d) Each party shall bear separately the cost of their respective attorneys, witnesses and experts in connection with such arbitration and shall jointly bear the costs of the arbitrators.
(e) The parties hereby waive any claim to any damages in the nature of punitive, exemplary or statutory damages in excess of compensatory damages, and the arbitration tribunal is specially divested of any power to award any damages in the nature of punitive, exemplary or statutory damages in excess of compensatory damages, or any form of damages in excess of compensatory damages.

(g) Unless the arbitrators shall otherwise rule in the interest of justice, all direct or rebuttal testimony shall be submitted in the form of sworn affidavits, provided that at the request of another party, the party submitting the affidavit will make the affiant available for cross-examination. If the affiant is not made available for cross-examination, the affidavit shall not be considered as evidence by the arbitrators except if the arbitrators find that the affiant is beyond the control of the party offering the affidavit, the affiant is unavailable and the interests of justice require consideration of the evidence submitted by the affiant.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of a breach by either party of SECTION 2.1 or SECTION 3.3(b), the other party shall be entitled, if it so elects, to institute and prosecute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction outside the Territory to enforce the specific performance of such party's obligations pursuant to such section outside the Territory.

the foregoing, Licensor acknowledges and agrees that contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement Licensee will enter into a sublicense of its rights hereunder with Hershey Foods Corporation.
10.3. ASSIGNMENT. Licensor may assign this Agreement in its entirety without the prior written consent of Licensee provided that any such assignment is made only in conjunction with an assignment of the Trademarks, Patent Rights and Technical Information to such assignee. Licensor further covenants and agrees that it shall not assign the Trademarks, Patent Rights or Technical Information other than in conjunction with its assignment of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such assignee. Licensee may assign this Agreement (other than its obligations pursuant to SECTION 6.2(c), and other than its rights and obligations pursuant to SECTION 3.3(b) unless, in the latter case, such assignment is with respect to this Agreement as a whole), in whole or in part (including, without limitation, assignment of Licensee's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to one or more of the Trademarks) with respect to the United States as a whole, Canada as a whole, Mexico as a whole and/or the rest of the Territory as a whole, without the prior written consent of Licensor, provided that any such assignee enters into an agreement with Licensor, in a form reasonably acceptable to Licensor, assuming all of Licensee's rights and obligations under this Agreement, and provided further that (a) Hershey Foods Corporation guarantees such assignee's performance of its obligations under this Agreement; or (b)(i) such assignee has at the time of the assignment a net worth of not less than $500 million (for assignees of Licensee's rights and obligations under this Agreement in the entire Territory or in the United States as a whole) or $200 million (for assignees of Licensee's rights and obligations under this Agreement in Canada as a whole, Mexico as a whole and/or the rest of the Territory as a whole), and (ii) Licensor, after a reasonable and prompt good faith inquiry, has not determined that such assignee would be likely to adversely affect the good will, public perception or value of the Trademarks, or that such assignment would adversely affect the performance of the obligations of the licensee hereunder.

11.3. WAIVER. Failure or delay of either party at any time to require performance of any provisions under this Agreement shall not affect the right of such party to require full performance thereafter and a waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be taken or held to be a waiver of any further or similar breach or as nullifying the effectiveness of such provision. A waiver of any provision hereunder shall be effective only if such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced. Failure or delay on the part of either party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege provided for herein shall not operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other rights, remedy, power or privilege.

This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and merges and supersedes all prior discussions, representations, understandings and agreements, whether oral or in writing, between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

11.5. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any clause, term or provision hereof is determined by any court or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
11.6. FORCE MAJEURE. Any delays in or failure of performance by either party under this Agreement shall not be considered a breach hereof if such delay or failure is occasioned by an event beyond the reasonable control of the party affected ("force majeure"), PROVIDED THAT the Licensee shall continue to be obligated to pay to the Licensor any and all amounts which it shall have duly become obligated to pay in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the occurrence of such an event, and FURTHER PROVIDED THAT any party whose performance is so delayed shall give prompt notice thereof to the other party and shall use all reasonable endeavors to comply with the terms of this Agreement as soon as possible.
