  2. License Grant.  Participant, by submitting its Data for the Study, grants to RH a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, nontransferable (except in connection with a sale of substantially all of RH’s outstanding ownership or substantially all of RH’s assets to which this Agreement relates) license to use the Data and results derived from the Data and RH’s other tools and sources (a) to perform the Study, and (b) as part of the RH’s database RH employs to benchmark the recruiting performance of its clients and others (including Participant).
