• 16.1 Payment of Amounts Owed to Degree Wellness. You agree to pay us within five (5) days after the effective date of termination or expiration of the Franchise, or any later date that the amounts due to us are determined, all amounts owed to us or our affiliates which are then unpaid including, without limitation, any unpaid Initial Franchise Fee, any unpaid Continuing Franchise Fees, and any termination fee, damages, costs or expenses owed by you pursuant to Section 15.3, together with any audit costs and expenses owed by you pursuant to Section 13.2.
• 16.2 Marks. Use of the Marks and Copyrightable Works after the termination or expiration of the Studio Franchise will constitute the unlawful use of our intellectual property rights, which include trademarks and service marks. You agree that after the termination or expiration of the Franchise you will:
• a. not directly or indirectly at any time identify any business with which you are associated as a current or former Degree Wellness franchise or franchisee;
• b. not use any Mark, any colorable imitation of any Mark, or any Copyrightable Works in any manner or for any purpose, or use for any purpose any trademark or other commercial symbol that suggests or indicates an association with us;
• c. return to us or destroy (whichever we specify) all customer lists, forms and materials containing any Mark or any Copyrightable Works or otherwise relating to a Degree Wellness franchise;
  • d. remove all Marks affixed to uniforms or, at our direction, cease to use those uniforms; and

e. take any action that may be required to cancel all fictitious or assumed name or equivalent registrations relating to your use of any Mark.

You irrevocably appoint Degree Wellness your attorney-in-fact to take the actions described in this paragraph if you do not do so yourself within 10 days after termination of this Agreement.

• 16.3 De-Identification.

If you retain possession of the Premises, you agree to completely remove or modify, at your sole expense, any part of the interior and exterior decor that we deem necessary to disassociate the Premises with the image of a Degree Wellness franchise, including any signage, posters, furniture, equipment, products, or display units bearing the Marks.
