The ASPCA reserves all rights in and to the Intellectual Property not specifically granted to Licensee by this Agreement, and Licensee may not grant a sub-license of the Intellectual Property to any third party. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensee may use the Intellectual Property only in connection with the Challenge, and Licensee may use the Intellectual Property only through June 30, 2019, which is the last date of the Challenge, provided, however, that if the Licensee wins any Challenge prizes, Licensee may use the Intellectual Property to publicize the award of such prizes. 2.

Licensee shall: (i) not alter, delete, add or otherwise change the Intellectual Property; (ii) not represent that the Intellectual Property is the property of Licensee and/or that the Intellectual Property is not the property of the ASPCA; (iii) comply with the ASPCA s current trademark usage policies; (iv) cause its employees, volunteers, and agents to comply with the terms of this Agreement; (v) make any changes to the Licensee s use of the Intellectual Property and/or cease use of the Intellectual Property immediately upon the request of the ASPCA; and (vi) indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the ASPCA from and against any
