(b) If a restaurant which would otherwise be considered to be a Restricted Business is offered to Xxxxxx’x (the “Restricted Business ROFR”) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.05, and Xxxxxx’x elects not to pursue such restaurant, then SCI shall be free to pursue such specific restaurant at the specific location included in the Restricted Business ROFR and SCI shall no longer be subject to the non-competition agreement contained in Section 4.02 with respect to only that specific restaurant at the specified location; provided, however that such restaurant must be pursued within 270 days of the date of the notification that Xxxxxx’x elects not to pursue it under terms no more favorable than those offered to Xxxxxx’x or the restaurant must be reoffered to Xxxxxx’x in accordance with this Section 4.04(b).

4.05 Procedures. In the event that Xxxxxx’x is entitled to the right of first refusal provided in Section 4.03 or a Restricted Business ROFR, then as soon as practicable, SCI or its affiliate shall notify Xxxxxx’x of such restaurant opportunity or idea and deliver to Xxxxxx’x all

relevant information prepared by or on behalf of SCI or any of its affiliates relating to such restaurant opportunity or idea, including, specifically, the proposed location for such restaurant.

4.07 Enforcement. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the Company does not have an adequate remedy at law for the breach by either of them of its covenants and agreements set forth in this Article IV, and that any breach of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Article IV would result in irreparable injury to the Company. The Parties further agree and acknowledge that the Company may, in addition to the other remedies which may be available to it, file a suit in equity to enjoin the Parties and their affiliates from such breach, and consent to the issuance of injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of Article IV of this Agreement.

As soon as practicable, but in no event later than forty-five (45) business days after the purchase price is finally established, Xxxxxx’x shall pay SCI the applicable purchase price in cash, subject to Xxxxxx’x withholding, pending the final outcome of arbitration pursuant to Article XII, of such amount as it reasonably estimates is necessary to cover any claim for which it would be entitled to offset.

6.08 Notice to Disney. In the event the SCI Put Option is exercised, the Company shall give Disney notice of the exercise at the address and in the manner provided for notice to be given under the terms of any existing lease agreement between the Company or any of its affiliates and Disney.

The Parties agree that the award of the arbitral tribunal (the “Arbitration Award”): (a) shall be conclusive, final and binding upon the Parties; (b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the Parties regarding any and all claims and counterclaims presented to the arbitral tribunal; and (c) if containing elements of injunctive relief, as specifically provided for herein, may be made in such interim manner (pending final resolution of the controversy presented) as the arbitral tribunal may deem appropriate to protect the interests of any aggrieved or potentially aggrieved Party.

12.03 Applicable Law. The Arbitration Award shall be based exclusively on the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that to the extent that the subject matter for the Arbitration Award is not set forth within this Agreement, it shall be based on the laws of the State of Texas (without regard to conflicts of law provisions). In addition, in the case of any conflict between the provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

12.04 Waiver of Immunity. The Parties further agree: (a) that their mutual decision to resolve their disputes by arbitration as provided in this Agreement is an explicit waiver of immunity against enforcement and execution of the Arbitration Award and any judgment thereon; and (b) that the Arbitration Award and any judgment thereon, if unsatisfied, may be entered in and shall be enforceable by the courts of any nation having jurisdiction over the person or property of the Party against whom the Arbitration Award has been rendered.

12.07 Expenses. All costs of arbitration and enforcement of the Arbitration Award, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, costs of expert witnesses, transportation, lodging and meal costs of the Parties and witnesses, costs of transcript preparation and other reasonable and necessary direct and incidental costs shall be apportioned by the arbitrator selected pursuant to Section 12.01 of this Agreement with a view to allocating costs to the Party that does not prevail in the arbitration.

12.08 Arbitral Ruling. The Parties will obtain the agreement of the arbitrator to the following: (a) the arbitrator shall provide a written ruling, stating in separate sections the finding of fact and conclusions of law on which the ruling is based and (b) such ruling shall be due no later than 30 days after the final hearing.

12.09 Specific Performance. In the event of any breach by a Party of the terms of this Agreement which would cause any non-breaching Party to be irreparably harmed or for which such non-breaching Party could not be made whole by monetary damages, then in such circumstances such non-breaching Party, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of this Agreement in any action instituted pursuant to this Article XII and in any action instituted in any court of applicable jurisdiction in Houston, Xxxxxx County, Texas, to enforce any interim or final Arbitration Award rendered pursuant to this Article XII or to seek specific performance in any such court in lieu of arbitration.

This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Party hereto, enforceable against each such Party in accordance with its terms, except as that enforceability may be (i) limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or any applicable law that limits rights to indemnification or the application of public policy restrictions on non-competition agreements and (ii) subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether that enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

13.04 Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT IN SATISFACTION OF INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER Article XI OF THIS AGREEMENT, NO PARTY WILL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

13.05 Binding Nature and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding on the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. No Party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that Xxxxxx’x may assign this Agreement to one or more of its affiliates without the consent of SCI, provided that such affiliate agrees in writing to assume the obligations of Xxxxxx’x hereunder in accordance with Section 13.06.

13.06 Transfer of Stock and Joinder. No Party shall Transfer all or any portion of its Common Stock in the Company unless the Transfer is approved by the Executive Committee; provided that such approval by the Executive Committee shall not be required for a Transfer of all or any portion of a Party’s Common Stock in the Company to an affiliate of such Party. In connection with any Transfer of all or any portion of Common Stock in the Company, such transferee shall execute and deliver a counterpart signature page to this Agreement and agree to become a party to and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

13.07 Performance by Xxxxxx’x Affiliates. Any rights or obligations of Xxxxxx’x hereunder may be exercised or satisfied by Xxxxxx’x or any one or more of its affiliates. Specifically, but without limitation, Xxxxxx’x may cause one of its affiliates to purchase SCI’s interest pursuant to SCI’s Put Option or pursuant to Xxxxxx’x First Call Option or Xxxxxx’x Second Call Option. In the event an affiliate of Xxxxxx’x purchases SCI’s Common Stock, it shall become a party to this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 13.06.

13.08 Force Majeure. No Party shall be liable for any delay in completion of work hereunder or of the non-performance of any term or condition of this Agreement directly or indirectly resulting from delays caused by Acts of God; acts of the public enemy; strikes; lockouts; epidemic and riots; power failure; water shortage or adverse weather conditions; or other causes beyond the control of the Parties. In the event of any of the foregoing, the time for performance shall be equitably and immediately adjusted, and in no event shall any Party be liable for any consequential or incidental damages from its performance or non-performance of any term or condition of this Agreement. The Parties shall resume the completion of work under this Agreement as soon as possible subsequent to any delay due to force majeure.

13.09 Publicity; Confidentiality. Except as provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all media releases, public announcements and public disclosures by any Party relating to this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement, including promotional or marketing material (but not including any announcement intended solely for internal distribution or any disclosure required by legal, stock exchange, accounting or regulatory requirements beyond the reasonable control of the Party), will be coordinated with and will be subject to final approval by Xxxxxx’x prior to release (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Subsequent to any media release, public announcement or public disclosure announcing the existence of this Agreement, Xxxxxx’x shall have the right to list on its web-site the name of SCI and the fact that SCI has entered into this Agreement for as long as this Agreement is in existence.

13.11 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a written instrument executed by or on behalf of each of the Parties to this Agreement. No delay or omission by any Party to exercise any right or power shall impair such right or power or be construed as a waiver. A waiver by any Party of any of the covenants to be performed by the other Party or any breach shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach or of any other covenant.

13.12 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in that jurisdiction as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

13.13 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. Except for actions or proceeding subject to mandatory arbitration as provided in Article XII hereof, any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement may be brought against any of the Parties only in the courts of the State of Texas, Xxxxxx County, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, and each of the Parties consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein.

13.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts or by facsimile transmission, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one agreement binding on both Parties, notwithstanding that all the Parties are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart or facsimile transmission copy.
