RECITALS:

A. Unilock is the owner, authorized user or licensed user of the trademarks listed on Schedule A (“Trademarks”) and all goodwill relating thereto;

B. User is a customer of the Unilock Group of Companies, which include Unilock Ltd., Unilock® Inc., Unilock Chicago, Inc., Unilock Michigan, Inc., Unilock Ohio, Inc., Unilock New York, Inc. and Hengestone Holdings, Inc. (“Unilock® Group”);

C. User recognizes that Unilock is the owner, authorized user or licensed user of the Trademarks and all goodwill relating thereto and the User wishes to refer to the Trademarks in materials directed at potential purchasers of the hardscaping products of the Unilock Group of Companies (the “Products”), and Unilock wishes to authorize the User to use the Trademarks in association with the Products upon the terms and conditions herein et forth, but not otherwise;

NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the respective covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged) the parties agree as follows:

3. Permitted Use. User agrees that this Agreement limits the ways that the User can use the Trademarks. In particular, Unilock permits the use of the Trademarks only in association with the specific types of use listed in Schedule “B” as permitted for the User’s Status, as indicated above (“Permitted Use”).

(b) All other Promotional Materials containing representations of any Trademark which the User intends to use shall be submitted to Unilock for prior written approval of content, design, color and other details; no Promotional Materials containing any Trademark shall be distributed or displayed by the User or on behalf of the User without the prior written approval of Unilock.

(c) User shall comply with all requirements listed in Schedule “C”;

5. No Misleading Use. User shall use the Trademarks and Promotional Materials featuring them only in association with the advertising, promotion, sale, and distribution of authorized and genuine Unilock Group Products. User shall not do anything to impair the image or reputation of Unilock Group or the Products in any way. User shall not use the Trademarks or any Promotional Materials to promote any merchandise which are not authorized and genuine Unilock Group Products, or to promote any manufacturer of hardscape products other than Unilock Group. User shall not modify or vary the Trademarks nor use any other trademark which is similar to or substantially similar to or so nearly resembles any Trademark so as to be likely to cause deception or confusion to the public.

6. Acknowledgment of Unilock Ownership. With respect to the use of the Trademark the User agrees as follows:

(a) The User recognizes that Unilock is the owner of the Trademarks and all the goodwill therein and agrees that the same shall remain vested in Unilock both during the term of this Agreement and thereafter and that the use of all Trademarks by the User shall be on behalf and for the benefit of Unilock. The User agrees not to challenge the validity or ownership of any Trademark and/or the goodwill therein or that the use of the Trademarks by the User is used on behalf and for the benefit of Unilock®; and

(b) Any goodwill which the User may acquire from the use of the Trademarks shall vest in and become the absolute property of Unilock and the User undertakes and agrees at the request and expense of Unilock, whether before or after the termination of this Agreement, to execute all such instruments and to do all such acts as may be necessary and desirable to vest absolutely in Unilock the said goodwill.
