ASSIGNMENT BY LICENSEE
20.1
The Licensee acknowledges that Digital Programa, in granting this license and the rights and interests under this Agreement, has relied upon, among other things, the character, background, qualifications and financial ability of the Licensee and, where applicable, its partners, officers, directors, and shareholders. Accordingly, this Agreement, the Licensee's rights and interests hereunder, shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, shared or encumbered in whole or in part in any manner whatsoever without our prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Prior to seeking such consent, the Licensee shall provide us with a right of first refusal as set forth below. Any actual or purported assignment occurring by operation of law or otherwise without our prior written consent shall be a material default of this Agreement and shall be null and void.
20.2
In considering the request for sale, assignment, transfer or encumbrance (all of which are hereinafter included within the word "transfer") pursuant to subsection 20.1 above, we may consider, among other things, the information set out in the Licensee's application, the qualifications, good character, requisite general business experience, and credit standing of the proposed transferee, and its partners, managers, principal shareholders, directors and officers, as appropriate. In addition, we shall be entitled to require as a condition precedent to the granting of its consent that:
(a)
As of the date of Licensee's request for consent and as of the effective date of transfer there shall be no default in the performance or observance of any of the Licensee's obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Licensee and Digital Programa or any affiliate or supplier thereof;
(b)
The Licensee shall have settled all outstanding accounts with Digital Programa up to the date closing of the proposed transfer;

The Licensee shall have delivered to Digital Programa a complete release of Digital Programa, its directors and officers, its affiliates and the directors and officers thereof, from all obligations under this Agreement of any such persons, in a form satisfactory to us;
(d)
The proposed transferee shall have entered into a written assignment under seal, in a form prescribed by us or, at our option, shall have executed a new license agreement in the form being used by us, which may provide for a higher royalty and for greater expenditures for advertising and promotion than are provided hereunder, and shall have executed such other documents and agreements as are then customarily used by us in the granting of licenses;
(e)
The proposed transferee providing, to our satisfaction, a business plan indicating that the proposed transferee possesses the required level of business experience and acumen necessary in the operation of a Digital Programa license;

The purchase price to be paid to the Licensee by the proposed transferee is reasonable in the circumstances having regard to the debt and interest charges being acquired by the proposed transferee; and
(g)
The Licensee paying to Digital Programa, an assignment fee (the “Assignment Fee”) equal t to twenty-five percent (25%) of the then Initial License Fee charged to new Licensees. The refusal of Digital Programa to consent to the proposed transfer based upon the non-compliance with any of the foregoing conditions shall not be deemed to be an unreasonable withholding of such consent. Our consent to a
BookedbyUs and Digital Programa
8

transfer shall not operate to release the Licensee from any liability under this Agreement.
20.3
Without in any way derogating from our right to reject a proposed transfer pursuant to subsection 20.2 above, if at any time or times during the term of this Agreement, including any renewal thereof, the Licensee obtains a bona fide offer (the "Offer") to acquire the whole or any part of his interest in the License, which the Licensee wishes to accept, the Licensee shall promptly give written notice thereof to Digital Programa together with a true copy of the Offer. Upon receipt of such notice and Offer, we shall have the option of purchasing the property forming the subject matter thereof upon the same terms and conditions as those set out in the Offer except that:
(a)
There shall be deducted from the purchase price the amount of any commissions or fee that would otherwise have been payable to any broker, agent or other intermediary in connection with the sale of such property to the offeror;
(b)
Digital Programa shall have the right to substitute cash for any other form of consideration specified in the Offer and to pay in full the entire purchase price at the time of closing. We may exercise our option at any time within twenty (20) days after receipt of the said notice by giving written notice to the Licensee. If we decline to exercise such option and if such transfer is approved by us, the Licensee shall be at liberty to complete the transfer to such third party transferee in accordance with the Offer, provided that, notwithstanding the terms of the Offer, such transaction must be completed within thirty (30) days of the date on which we notify the Licensee of its approval of such transaction. If the transaction is not completed within thirty (30) days, the foregoing provisions of subsection 20.3 shall apply again in respect of the proposed transfer and so on from time to time;
(c)
In addition to the Offer to be given by the Licensee to Digital Programa together with the notice described in subsection 20.3 above, the Licensee shall provide Digital Programa with:

Information relating to the business reputation and qualifications to carry on the License of the proposed transferee; and
(ii)
Any credit information the Licensee may have as to the financial ability and stability of the proposed transferee, including, if the proposed transferee is an individual, his personal net worth statement and if the proposed transferee is a corporation, partnership, or other entity, its latest financial statements.
20.4
If the Licensee is a corporation, partnership or other entity, a transfer of shares, or partnership or other interests, or other transaction or series of transactions involving the same (whether by operation of law or otherwise), which would affect or would result in a change of control of the majority or a block of forty percent (40%) or more of the voting or equity interests in the Licensee, directly or indirectly, or any other event which would result in a change in any principal of the Licensee active in the day-to-day management and operation of the License, will be deemed to constitute an assignment for the purposes of this Agreement. In the event that any transfer of shares or other interests occurs but does not constitute an assignment as provided for above, or in the event of any other change in the shareholders, partners, directors or officers of the Licensee, you will notify us in writing of the details of such transaction or change within five (5) days of its occurrence.
