EMVCo shall have the exclusive right to take any and all actions to enforce its rights against such unauthorized users, including without limitation sending infringement notices and bringing infringement actions. If requested by EMVCo to do so, Licensee shall reasonably cooperate with and assist EMVCo in any such actions at EMVCos expense, including, in the case of any infringement action, joining or intervening in the action as a party, if necessary. Licensee shall not institute any suit or take any action against a potential infringer or unauthorized user of any of the Trademarks (except to the extent such potential infringer or unauthorized user is using a Trademark in conjunction with any Licensee trademark and such suit or other action is limited to the enforcement by Licensee of only Licensees trademarks) unless such suit or action is authorized by EMVCo in writing. Any award, or portion of an award, recovered by EMVCo in any such action or proceeding commenced by EMVCo shall belong solely to EMVCo after recovery by EMVCo and Licensee of their respective actual out-of-pocket costs. 8.

OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES OR LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THIS TMLA. c. Licensee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the EMVCo Parties from all losses, costs, damages, claims and other expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) (Losses) arising out of any claim that a third party intellectual property or other proprietary right is infringed in connection with Licensees use of the Trademarks (including use by any sublicensees of Licensee) (each a Certification Mark Claim). d. Licensee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the EMVCo Parties from all Losses arising from any third party claims relating to the products, services or activities of Licensee or any sublicense of Licensee. e.

TERM. This TMLA shall be effective upon the Effective Date set forth below and shall remain in effect for as long as Licensee has a valid Certification from EMVCo, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 10. The term of this TMLA shall automatically expire upon the expiration or termination of all of Licensees Certifications. EARLY TERMINATION. a. Termination without Cause. (i) By Licensee.

Termination for Cause. Prior to expiration under Section 9, EMVCo or Licensee may terminate this TMLA for cause if the other party materially breaches the terms of this TMLA. In addition and without limitation of the foregoing, EMVCo may terminate this TMLA for cause for any one of the following reasons: (i) Licensee violates or does not comply or cooperate fully with any material terms of this TMLA, including by way of example and without limitation, the Trademark Guidelines and provisions relating to ownership, quality control and audits.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, termination by EMVCo pursuant to Section 10(b)(ii) shall be effective immediately without any notice required. d. Termination in Specific Jurisdictions. In the event that (i) there is a Certification Mark Claim made against EMVCo or Licensee in a specific jurisdiction, (ii) there is a determination in a specific jurisdiction by a court of competent jurisdiction or by another governing authority that EMVCo or Licensee does not have the right to use or enforce one or more of the Trademarks, (iii) EMVCo reasonably believes that it may be unable to obtain or maintain rights to one or more of the Trademarks in a specific jurisdiction, or (iv) EMVCo reasonably believes that use of one or more of the Trademarks in a specific jurisdiction could subject EMVCo to a claim for infringement or any other liability, then EMVCo may notify Licensee in writing that it is terminating or modifying the right to use the relevant Trademark(s) in the specific jurisdiction. In the event of a notice of termination or modification based on clause (i) in the first sentence of this Section 10(d), Licensee shall stop or modify use of the Trademark(s) in accordance with the notice, within the timeframe required by a governmental authority, or within ten (10) days from the date of the notice, whichever is shorter.

The EMV Certification Marks are intended to indicate that a product, laboratory or test tool has been approved, accredited or qualified by EMVCo LLC (EMVCo) based on EMVCos evaluation of the results of testing for compliance with applicable EMV specifications and requirements, as modified from time to time (EMV Specifications). The EMV Specifications and approval process are described on the EMVCo web site located at www.emvco.com (EMVCo Website). The EMV Certification Marks are to be used only in conjunction with products, laboratories or test tools that have been approved by EMVCo and in accordance with these EMV Certification Mark Usage Guidelines and any applicable trademark license agreement that a product provider, laboratory, test tool provider or other service provider may have with EMVCo.

II. USAGE GUIDELINES A. Proper Form and Usage of EMV Certification Marks
1. The approved format for presentation of the EMV Certification Marks may be downloaded at the following locations: http://www.emvco.com/best_practices.aspx?id=173 2. EMV Certification Marks may not be incorporated into or combined with any other trademarks, service marks, certification marks, company names, trade names or domain names. 3. The first occurrence of an EMV Certification Mark must contain the trademark denotation (e.g., EMV Qualified). Subsequent occurrences of the EMV Certification Mark on the same page or item may appear without the denotation. 4. EMV Certification Marks must always be shown as they appear above. Never alter the EMV Certification Mark or the arrangement of type within the shape. To maximize its visibility and presence, the EMV Certification Mark must always appear in either black with white text or reversed in white with black text. 5. The background behind the EMV Certification Mark must always be a solid color. Never present the EMV Certification Mark against a graphic pattern.

Select the color alternative that provides the greatest color contrast with the selected background color. Other alternate colors can be used only with prior written EMVCo approval. 6. Always maintain the minimum clear space around the EMV Certification Mark. This minimum clear space is equal to 1/4 the height of the mark, applied on all four sides (see diagram below).

B. EMVCo Ownership of EMV Certification Marks; Other Guidelines


1. EMVCo is the exclusive owner of the EMV Certification Marks. EMVCo is solely entitled to claim ownership of and register the EMV Certification Marks. 2. When referencing or using the EMV Certification Marks in any web site, promotional materials, marketing and advertising materials, or other documentation, proper ownership of the mark must be attributed to EMVCo. An ownership attribution legend should appear on the same page, if practicable, or on the face of any materials where an EMV Certification Mark appears, in the following format: [name of mark] mark [and logo, if applicable] [is / are] owned by EMVCo, LLC and used under license. Sublicensees of the EMV Approved mark must also designate from whom the mark has been sublicensed. For example: EMV APPROVED mark and logo are owned by EMVCo, LLC.

3. No person or entity should register or use a trademark, service mark, certification mark, company name, trade name or domain name that incorporates the combination of letters EMV and relates in any way to EMVCo's goods, services or certifications. 4. Product providers, laboratories, test tool providers and other service providers should not create alternative word marks or logos to indicate or imply compliance with EMV Specifications or receipt of EMVCo approval, EMVCo accreditation or EMVCo qualification, even if such person or entity has received an EMVCo approval, EMVCo accreditation or EMVCo qualification. Only the applicable EMV Certification Mark provided by EMVCo should be used.

5. EMV Approved products and EMV Qualified test tools must be marketed under the product developers or product sellers own non-EMVCo product names and brands, and EMV Accredited laboratories and/or their services must be marketed under non-EMVCo names and brands (collectively or individually, the "Licensee's Mark") 6. Whenever used, the EMV Certification Mark should be no larger than 30% of the size of the Licensee's Mark. 7. The EMV Certification Marks should never be combined with the name of a product, laboratory or test tool, or the company name, domain name or logo of the product provider, laboratory or test tool provider. The name of the product, laboratory or test tool should appear in a prominent location on all materials to make it clear that EMVCo is not the product provider, laboratory or test tool provider or the author of the materials.
8. No entity or person may refer to the EMV Certification Marks in a manner that might tend to be misleading. For example, product providers whose products have not received an EMVCo approval should not state that their products were "designed for EMV" or are "EMV compliant," as such statements might mislead consumers into believing mistakenly that the products have completed EMVCo testing successfully and have been approved by EMVCo. 9. Any claim that a particular product is EMV Approved, that a particular laboratory is EMV Accredited, or that a particular test tool is EMV Qualified can be verified by requesting from the product or service provider the EMVCo Letter of Approval, Letter of Accreditation or Letter of Qualification associated with the product, laboratory or test tool (as applicable), and/or by checking the approved product or service provider list on the EMVCo Website.

10. Newspapers, magazines, television and other news organizations (the press) that use the EMV Certification Marks in news reports shall do so only in accordance with these guidelines.
