The New License Agreement replaced the prior license agreement granted to us by THL Partners, which terminated on January 31, 2020 in connection with the acquisition of our Advisor by First Eagle. As with the prior license agreement, the New License Agreement is royalty-free, which means we are not charged a fee for our use of the trade name and service mark THL. The New License Agreement terminates in full on the date that is two hundred (200) days after January 31, 2020. The New License Agreement is also terminable by THL Partners upon fifteen (15) days written notice for breach of its terms. Upon termination of the New License Agreement, we and our Advisor must cease to use the name and mark THL, including any use in its respective legal names, filings, listings and other uses that may require us to withdraw or replace its names and marks. Other than with respect to the limited rights contained in the New License Agreement, we and our Advisor have no right to use, or other rights in respect of, the THL name and mark.
