NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein and in the Assignment Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE X.
XXXXX OF LICENSE
1.1. Grant of License
Licensor hereby grants to Licensee, and Licensee hereby accepts, a license to use, and to sublicense the use of (as hereinafter provided) the Intellectual Property in, and only in, the Territory, in connection with the operation, marketing and promotion of Businesses in the Territory, upon the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
1.2. Exclusivity.
Licensee’s rights to use the Intellectual Property shall be exclusive within the Territory and Licensor shall not directly; or by license, franchise or otherwise, authorize others to use the Intellectual Property in the Territory, except that Licensor expressly reserves the right directly and indirectly, itself and through its employees, affiliates, representatives, licensees, franchisees, assigns, agents and others:
(a) to produce, license, distribute and market products (whether or not under or using the Intellectual Property), including pre-packaged food, snacks and beverage products; books; clothing; souvenirs and novelty items; through any outlet except a restaurant (regardless of its proximity to the Businesses operated or sublicensed by Licensee), including grocery stores, supermarkets and convenience stores and through any distribution channel, at wholesale or retail, including by means of the internet, mail order catalogs, direct mail advertising and other distribution methods; and
(b) to advertise and promote the System and the Marks at any location and through any media, within and outside the Territory; provided such advertising and promotion does not state or imply that Licensee’s (or Licensee’s sublicensees) are participants in any promotional program, unless Licensee gives its prior written consent.
1.3. Quality Control: Consistency.
(a) Licensee agrees to ensure that (i) its Businesses and those of its sublicensees shall be conducted in a first-class manner, consistent with Licensee’s operation of the Businesses as of the date of this Agreement (including operating style, ingredients, standards and quality control), (ii) the goods offered pursuant to this Agreement shall be of high standard and quality, consistent with the goods offered by Licensee as of the date of this Agreement, and (iii) Licensee’s and its sublicensees’ use of the Intellectual Property on and in connection with food products, menus, signs, displays, advertising and other promotional materials and in connection with the operation of the Businesses, shall conform to the requirements of this Agreement. Licensee and its sublicensees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all goods offered pursuant to this Agreement will be manufactured, sold, and distributed in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, and industry standards.
(b) Licensee shall allow Licensor, upon reasonable request, accompanied by a representative of Licensee to observe Licensee’s conduct of any Businesses operated by Licensee or any of its permitted sublicensees at any time during normal business hours to determine if it is complying with its obligations under this Agreement.
2
(c) Licensor and Licensee acknowledge and agree that it is in the best interest of the Intellectual Property and the System, and therefore in each of their best interests, that all restaurants which use any of the Intellectual Property and the System are operated in a largely consistent manner (for example with exceptions for minor regional preferences and minor differences in decor and menu items). Consequently, Licensee shall continue to operate its restaurants which use any of the Intellectual Property or the System consistent (to the extent described in the preceding sentence) with the use of the Intellectual Property and the System in restaurants operated by the Licensor which use the Intellectual Property or the System, as the Licensor’s use may evolve over time. Except to the extent that the Licensor has consented otherwise in writing, Licensee shall adopt any enhancement to the Intellectual Property or the System adopted across all or substantially all of the Licensor’s System unless the Licensee reasonably believes in good faith that a particular enhancement will have an adverse effect on its business. In determining in good faith whether a particular enhancement will have an adverse effect on its business, License may consider, among other things: the limitations imposed by the locations of the Licensees’ restaurants; the Licensee’s operating history with the enhancement; the degree to which the enhancement is likely to impose an undue burden on the Licensee’s operational infrastructure; and differences in the restaurant market in Santa Xxxxxxx County vs. the restaurant markets in which the Licensor operates. Further, except to further consistency with the Licensor as described above or to the extent Licensor has consented otherwise in writing, Licensee may not materially deviate from its use of the Intellectual Property or the System as the Intellectual Property and the System is used by Licensee as of the date of this Agreement. Licensor and Licensee acknowledge and agree that the following items are among the most important for the maintenance of consistency as described in this Section 1.3(c) (in no particular order): decor; day parts; hours of operation; menu offerings; ingredients; recipes; cooking techniques; operating system; order tracking and service systems and procedures; and paper and packaging.

Licensor shall have the exclusive right, at its expense, to take action against any such third person on account of such alleged infringement of the Intellectual Property as Licensor deems appropriate, and compromise or settle any such claim.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the default cannot be cured within such sixty (60) day period, such period shall be extended for a reasonable period of time provided that Licensee has promptly commenced to cure such default, or promptly taken action to cause its sublicensee to cure such default, as applicable, and thereafter continues to diligently pursue the completion of the cure.
7.2. Termination upon Transfer
Unless the Licensor consents in writing to its continuance, this Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event that the Licensee transfers this Agreement or grants a sublicense to a Person which is not a Controlled Person or in the event a Controlled Person to which this Agreement has been transferred or to which a sublicense has been granted ceases to be a Controlled Person (unless the Licensee or sublicensee has complied with Article VIII with respect to such transfer or event), provided, that if such Person ceases to be a Controlled Person by reason of the death or disability of Xxxxx or Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, this Agreement will terminate on the anniversary of such event.
7.3. Effect of Termination.
Upon termination of this Agreement, Licensee agrees to discontinue, and require its sublicensees to discontinue, immediately all use of the Intellectual Property and any term confusingly similar thereto, and the Intellectual Property, and to delete the Marks from its corporate or business name, to cooperate with Licensor or its appointed agent to apply to the appropriate authorities to cancel all fictitious business name filings containing the Marks, or any of them, from all government records, and that all rights in the Intellectual Property and the goodwill connected therewith shall remain the property of Licensor.
Following any termination of this Agreement by reason of a transfer of the Agreement to a Person that is not a Controlled Person (but not following a sublicense to a Person that is not a Controlled Person) or by reason of a Controlled Person ceasing to be a Controlled Person (but not a sublicensee), Licensor shall (if requested to do so by the transferee or the former Controlled Person) negotiate in good faith a More Detailed License Agreement with the proposed transferee or former Controlled Person. The term, “More Detailed License Agreement” means a perpetual (except in the event of breach), royalty-free license agreement that affords to the Licensor control over the Licensee’s business akin to the control a franchisor would have over the business of a franchisee under a typical franchise agreement.

ARTICLE VIII.
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
8.1. Sale Notice.
If any of the Licensor, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx or Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx receives or otherwise negotiates, and intends to accept, a written, bona fide, offer to purchase all or a controlling interest in, or significant assets of, the Licensee or any sublicensee, or the Licensee and/or any or all sublicensees as a group, to a prospective buyer, such Person shall provide the Licensor written notice of such offer (a “Sale Notice”). The Sale Notice must include the principal terms of the proposed sale, including the purchase price and the name, address and occupation or line of business of the prospective buyer.
8.2. Refusal Right.
Within 30 days after the receipt of the Sale Notice, the Licensor may elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the interest or assets proposed to be transferred to the prospective buyer for the same price (which the Licensor may pay in cash) and on the other terms contained in the Sale Notice by delivering written notice (the “First Refusal Notice”) of such election to the prospective seller. During such 30 day period, the seller(s) shall provide the Licensor with access to its (and/or to the Person(s) whose interests or assets are proposed to be sold’s) books and records, facilities, tax returns, employees and other aspects of its business, and shall cooperate and provide to the Licensor such information as the Licensor may reasonably request, such that the Licensor may conduct a due diligence investigation of the Person whose interests or assets are proposed to be transferred. If the Licensor does not deliver a timely First Refusal Notice, it shall be deemed to have waived all of its rights to purchase such interest or assets prior to the proposed sale to the prospective buyer, and the prospective seller shall thereafter be free to sell the interests or assets to the proposed buyer at a price no less than the price set forth in the Sale Notice, and on other principal terms not substantially more favorable to the prospective buyer than those set forth in the Sale Notice, without any further obligation to the Licensor pursuant to this Article VIII. If, prior to consummation, the terms of the proposed sale change with the result that the purchase price is less than the price set forth in the Sale Notice or the other principal terms are substantially more favorable to the Prospective Buyer than those set forth in the Sale Notice, the prospective seller must furnish a separate Sale Notice, and the terms of this Article VIII must be separately complied with, in order to consummate such proposed sale.
8.3. Closing.
The closing of any purchase pursuant to this Article VIII will take place as soon as reasonably practicable, and in no event later than 30 days after termination of the 30 day exercise period described above at the principal office of the Licensor or at such other time and location as the parties to such purchase may mutually determine. At the closing of any purchase and sale pursuant to this Article VIII, the seller(s) of the interests or assets to be sold shall deliver to the Licensor the interests or assets being conveyed, free and clear of any lien or encumbrance and by way of execution and delivery of such conveyancing documentation as the Licensor reasonably requests, and the Licensor shall pay to the seller(s) the purchase price by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds. The delivery of the interests or assets by the seller(s) shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such seller(s) that: (a) such Person has full right, title and interest in and to the interests or assets being transferred, (b) such Person has all necessary power and authority and has taken all necessary action to transfer such interests or assets as contemplated, and (c) such interests or assets are free and clear of any and all liens or encumbrances.
8
8.4. Application to Transferees and Sublicensees.
The Licensee shall require any transferee or sublicensee of this Agreement to agree to be subject to the right of first refusal contained in this paragraph 8.4, and shall make the Licensor a third party beneficiary of such rights; provided, however, that if the Licensee or a sublicensee complies with this Section 8.4 with respect to all or a controlling interest in, or significant assets of, the Licensee or any sublicensee, and the Licensor does not exercise its purchase right under this Article VIII, this Article VIII will not apply to any subsequent transfer of such Licensee or sublicensee, controlling interest or significant assets.
