|
Minimal Performance by Licensee
Not Equivalent to Best Efforts. Licensee's achievement
only of the performance targets as set forth in the Plans for the each
Calendar Year beginning with the Calendar Year following the Effective
Date and Licensee’s payment only of Royalty Fee shall not necessarily
constitute satisfaction of its best efforts obligation, as required in
Section 8.1.
|
8.4
|
Licensor’s Best
Efforts. Licensor shall exercise its best efforts to
coordinate the proposed plans of the Licensee as set forth in Section 8.1 with other willing licensees of
the Licensor Marks and shall encourage joint participation in activities
that build the reputation of the Licensor Marks and create sales for the

participation by other licensees shall not be construed as a breach of
this Agreement by Licensor.

shall also exercise its best efforts to expand the market for Licensed Products
bearing the Licensor Marks in the Territory to the fullest potential thereof,
for the efficient and diligent advertising, event participation, promotion, and
sampling of Licensed Products bearing the Licensor Marks in sufficient spending
levels and sufficient quality to meet the requirements to cause consumers to
purchase the Licensed Products in sufficient quantity and to cause consumers to
recall the Licensor Marks and benefits associated with products bearing the
Licensor Marks. For this purpose, Licensee and Licensor shall
cooperate to develop the following:
(a)
|
a
three (3) year rolling business plan commencing from the beginning of the
Calendar Year following the Effective
Date;
|
(b)
|
an
advertising, promotion, event participation plan for the Calendar Year
following the Effective Date;
|
(c)
|
a
plan for coordinating the marketing, promotion, sales, distribution, event
participation activities, and budgets for the Licensee and for Licensor’s
corporate contribution. Licensor shall use its best efforts to
coordinate any proposed plans of Licensee with other licensees of the
Licensor Marks and shall encourage joint participation in activities that
build the reputation of the Licensor Marks and create sales for the
Licensee’s products during the Calendar Year. Licensee hereby
agrees that Licensor makes no guarantee as to the success of its efforts,
and any lack of performance or results shall not constitute a breach of
this Agreement.
|

|
Minimal Performance by Licensor
Shall Not Equivalent to Best Efforts. Licensor’s
achievement only of minimum spending targets as set forth in Section 8.4 for each Calendar Year beginning
with the Calendar Year following the Effective Date and Licensor’s
achievement of market-share and consumer awareness of the Licensor Marks
shall not constitute satisfaction of its best efforts obligation, as
required in Section 8.4.
|
8.6
|

Operating Obligations. Licensor shall not use Licensee
Marks as a reference or in a way that directly or indirectly implies that

between Licensor and Licensee as defined by this Agreement. Licensor
shall at all times maintain a viable business that is not entirely dependent

shall be equal to the value of the royalty payment due less the value of
the cash payment made, divided by the difference of the share option price
and the market price of the underlying share on the payment date of the
payment. Should Licensee and Licensor choose to make and accept
payment with share of Licensee company, respectively, the underlying
shares shall be entitled to registration no later than the time of the

|

|
A
continuing royalty, which is the amount calculated, with respect to a
particular period (e.g., a Calendar Quarter), by multiplying the total
Collected Net Sales Value of that Product Category during that period by
the Royalty Rate (i.e., 1.5% for Category I Products and 1.1% for Category
II Products) specified in Exhibit A for that Product Category in the
Calendar Year containing that period (the “Continuing Royalty”);
or
|
(ii)
|
the
Annual Guarantee for Category I Products or the Increased Annual Guarantee

After
the period ending August 5, 2011, the continuing royalty payment shall be

one and category two products shall not
apply.
|
(iv)
|
Any

Licensee elects to terminate this Agreement, or breaches the Agreement and
does not correct the breach within the 60 day period, specified in Section
16.4, Licensee shall pay Licensor
a termination fee equal to one-half (1/2) of the Annual Guarantee as set
forth in Section 9.1(d) for each
of the remaining Calendar Years, which would have remained from the
Initial Term through August 5, 2011 had the termination not
occurred. If Licensee has achieved Collected Net Sales Value of
$500,000 for Category II Products, Licensee, at the time of termination
shall also pay Licensor a termination fee equal to one-half (1/2) of the
Increased Annual Guarantee, as set forth in Section 9.1(d), for each of the remaining
Calendar Years which would have remained through August 5, 2011 had
termination not occurred or for each of the remaining Calendar Years that
would have remained in any subsequent Extension Period had termination not
occurred.
|
(d)
|
The
“Annual Guarantee” shall be determined by multiplying the minimum sales
value for Category I Products set forth in the table below by the Royalty
Rate of 1.5%. The “Increased Annual Guarantee” shall be
determined by multiplying the minimum sales value for Category II Products
set forth in the table below by the Royalty Rate of 1.1%. The
Licensor and Licensee agree that the minimum sales values used in the
table in this Section 9.1(d)
constitutes the initial performance targets for Licensee as set forth in
Sections 8.1 and 8.2. Both the Annual
Guarantee and the Increased Annual Guarantee for Category I Products and
Category II Products, respectively, apply through August 5, 2011
only. Licensor and Licensee agree to cooperate in good faith to
adjust the minimum sales values for Category I Products and Category II
Products under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 to determine the Annual Guarantee
and the Increased Annual Guarantee should this Agreement be extended under
Section 16.1.

disclosure of its own confidential information of like importance,
to
|
19
prevent
the disclosure of Confidential Information of the other party. Each
party shall promptly notify the other party of any actual or suspected misuse or
unauthorized disclosure of the other party's Confidential
Information.
15.3
|
Licensee’s Confidential
Information. Licensor acknowledges that all Know-How
developed by Licensee is the property of Licensee and constitutes
Confidential Information subject to the confidentiality under Section 15.2.
|
15.4
|
Exceptions. Confidential
Information excludes information that: (i) was in the public domain at the
time it was disclosed or has become in the public domain through no fault
of the receiving party; (ii) was known to the receiving party, without
restriction, at the time of disclosure, as demonstrated by files in
existence at the time of disclosure; (iii) is disclosed with the prior
written approval of the disclosing party; (iv) was independently developed
by the receiving party without any use of the Confidential Information;
(v) becomes known to the receiving party, without restriction, from a
source other than the disclosing party, without breach of this Agreement,
by the receiving party; or (vi) is disclosed generally to third parties by
the disclosing party without restrictions similar to those contained in
this Agreement. The receiving party may disclose the other
party's Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is required
by order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other
governmental body, but only if the receiving party provides prompt notice
thereof to the disclosing party to enable the disclosing party to seek a
protective order or otherwise prevent or restrict such
disclosure.
|
Further,
Licensee shall be permitted to file documentation regarding this Agreement in
its public filings in the United States of America with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any other regulatory agency, if, and to the extent,
required by applicable law and regulation. Licensee shall not include
any Confidential Information in such documentation unless otherwise required by
law and only to the extent required by law. Licensor shall have the
right to review and approve, in writing, any such documents prior to
filing. Such approval by Licensor shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

Term
and Termination.
|
16.1
|
Initial Term and
Renewal. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, and unless otherwise terminated, the Initial Term of this
Agreement shall extend from the Effective Date until the expiration date
of August 5, 2021. The Initial Term shall automatically renew for a
subsequent five (5) year period, if Licensee meets the minimum sales
requirements for each of the years as established by the parties under
Section 8.2, or collectively for
all of the years as set forth, and further, has paid Licensor, in full,
all Royalty Payments under Section 9.7. If however, Licensee
fails to meet the minimum sales requirements as set forth by the parties
under Section 8.2 for the prior
five (5) year period, fails to cure any deficiencies with respect to the
Royalty Payments under Section 9.7
(if in the first five (5) years of the Term), and/or fails to pay Royalty
Payments under Section 9.7 within
ten (10) business days from the expiration of the then expired term, this
Agreement will automatically expire, and all rights will automatically
revert to Licensor.
|
16.2
|
Licensor
Termination. Should Licensee cause or experience any
event which is grounds for termination as set forth in this Agreement,
this shall constitute grounds for termination by Licensor of this
Agreement as a whole with all said
parties.
|
20
16.3
|
Licensee
Termination. Licensee may terminate this Agreement,
either as to one or more of the Product Categories or in its entirety, by
giving Licensor written notice of termination, specifying the nature of
the termination, at least six (6) months before the end of any Calendar
Year. If termination is without cause, the specified
termination shall take effect as of the end of that Calendar
Year. The termination fee set forth in Section 9.1(c) shall be due and payable upon
termination. Licensee shall maintain product liability
insurance for the duration of shelf life of products in the market at the
time of termination.
|
16.4
|
Curative Period of Certain
Defaults. Except with respect to those defaults, herein
specified, for which the non-defaulting party may forthwith terminate this
Agreement, and for which there is no provision for a curative period,
either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party is in
default, by giving such other party sixty (60) days written notice
thereof, and the defaulting party shall, during such period, be given the
opportunity to cure its default. If such default is not cured
within that period or any extension thereof granted by the notifying party
(which extension shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the
notifying party shall have all rights and remedies provided by law for
redress of breach of an agreement, including without limitation, the right
to terminate this Agreement effective upon the expiration of such period
of time.
|
16.5
|
Licensee
Insolvency. In the event any proceeding is filed by
Licensee, or against Licensee, and not discharged within ninety (90) days
after filing, under any bankruptcy or any similar local law, or if a
receiver is appointed to manage Licensee's affairs, or if Licensee enters
into a creditor arrangement, any such action shall constitute a breach of
this Agreement entitling Licensor to exercise all of its rights and
remedies in the event of breach, including without limitation the right,
exercisable in its sole discretion, to forthwith terminate this Agreement
by written notice to Licensee. A prime motive and principal
consideration for the execution of this Agreement by Licensor is the skill
and experience of Licensee as a marketer of Licensed Products bearing the
Licensor Marks of the highest quality readily and consistently available
to customers, thereby enhancing Licensor's reputation. Thus,
Licensor shall be under no duty to accept a performance of this Agreement
from Licensee if Licensee is the subject of any bankruptcy or related
activity, or from any other person or entity as a purported assignee of
this Agreement, without the prior express written consent of Licensor,
including without limitation, any assignee or trustee in a bankruptcy
proceeding.
|
16.6
|
Licensor
Insolvency. In the event any proceeding is filed by
Licensor, or against Licensor, and not discharged within ninety (90) days
after filing, under any bankruptcy or any similar local law, or if a
receiver is appointed to manage Licensor's affairs, or if Licensor enters
into a creditor arrangement, any such action shall constitute a breach of
this Agreement entitling Licensee to exercise all of its rights and
remedies in the event of breach, including without limitation the right,
exercisable in its sole discretion, to forthwith terminate this Agreement
by written notice to Licensor. A prime motive and principal
consideration for the execution of this Agreement by Licensee is the skill
and experience of Licensor as a marketer of the Licensor Marks,
implementing marketing, advertising, promotion, event, and sales programs
thereby enhancing Licensor's reputation to the benefit of
Licensee. Thus, Licensee shall be under no duty to accept a
performance of this Agreement from Licensor if Licensor is the subject of
any bankruptcy or related activity, or from any other person or entity as
a purported
|
21
assignee
of this Agreement, without the prior express written consent of Licensee,
including without limitation, any assignee or trustee in a bankruptcy
proceeding.
16.7
|
Destruction, Condemnation or
Expropriation of Facilities. If any part of the facilities used by
Licensee for the manufacture of Licensed Products bearing the Licensor
Marks is expropriated, condemned, destroyed, or otherwise lost or taken
out of Licensee's full control by any governmental entity or any person or
corporation thereby jeopardizing Licensee's ability to adequately perform
its obligations under this Agreement, and if Licensee does not furnish
adequate substitute facilities within one hundred eighty (180) days of
such loss, or if Licensee or that portion of Licensee's business concerned
with performance under this Agreement is acquired by or merged with, or
otherwise becomes controlled by any third party or parties (including,
without limitation, any governmental entity or agency), such action shall
constitute a breach of this Agreement, and Licensor shall have all rights
and remedies provided by law for redress of breach of an agreement,
including without limitation, the right to terminate this Agreement
forthwith by written notice to
Licensee.
|
16.8
|
Failure to Make Full, Timely
Payments. If Licensee fails to make any Royalty Payments
or other payment in full when due, or fails to provide access by
Licensor's authorized attorneys, accountants, or employees to its
facilities or its books or records or to those of its contract packers as
required hereunder, Licensor may notify Licensee in writing of such
default, specifying a reasonable period during which Licensee may cure
such default. If such default is not cured by the end of such
specified reasonable curative period, then Licensor shall have the right,
at its option, to terminate this Agreement, effective as of the end of
such period.
|
16.9
|
Failure to Exceed Annual
Licensee Fee. If the Continuing Royalty payable to
Licensor for a given Product Category during each of any two (2)
consecutive Calendar Years does not exceed the corresponding Annual
Guarantee plus the Increased Annual Guarantee, if any, Licensor shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement as to such Product Category,
effective as of the end of the second of such Calendar
Years. If Licensor elects to terminate this Agreement under the
provisions of Section 16.2 as to
all (remaining) Product Categories, such termination shall constitute
termination of this Agreement in its entirety. No termination
under Section 16.2 shall relieve
Licensee of the obligation to pay any required deficiency between any
Annual Guarantee plus Increased Annual Guarantee, if any, and the
corresponding Continuing Royalty.
|
16.10
|
Failure to Protect Licensee’s
Rights. If Licensor violates Section 8.6, Licensee may, after giving
Licensor thirty (30) days’ written notice and an opportunity for Licensor
to cure within that thirty-day period, terminate this Agreement in part or
in its entirety without any penalty should Licensor fail to cure within
that thirty-day period.
|
16.11
|
Governmental Intervention,
Attempted Assignment or Sublicense. Licensor may, by
written notice to Licensee, forthwith terminate this Agreement if any
governmental entity or agency thereof requires any cessation of
production, distribution, and/or sale of any Licensed Product with
specific or general reference to unwholesomeness of product, unsanitary
facility or improper labeling, or the actual or potential death, illness
or injury of any person(s); or if Licensee violates any provision of
Section 20.3 or attempts to do
so.
|
22
16.12
|
Stated Termination Grounds and
Rights Non-Exclusive. The foregoing termination grounds
and rights are in addition to any and all other rights of termination and
redress of breach which the parties or either of them may otherwise have
hereunder or by law.
|
17.
|
Further
Obligations of Parties Upon
Termination.
|
17.1
|
Payment of Residual
Royalties. No termination of this Agreement shall
relieve Licensee of the obligation to pay all Royalty Payments payable

Royalty Payments that are attributable to sales or deliveries of Licensed
Products bearing the Licensor Marks after the effective date of such
termination.
|
17.2
|

|
Government Action Substantially
Affecting this Agreement. In the event that a court of
competent jurisdiction or a cognizant governmental or quasi-governmental
authority or agency renders any decision or implements any law or
restriction which operate to frustrate any material aspect of the intent
of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall, in good faith, attempt
diligently to negotiate an amendment hereto that nevertheless returns the
scope and effect of this Agreement as nearly as possible to that expressed
herein just prior to such occurrence. In particular, Licensee
expressly recognizes an obligation, in the event that Royalty Payments
already due to Licensor or other rights afforded to Licensor hereunder is
or are blocked by any such occurrence, to so far as legally possible place
Licensor in the same financial position as it would have been under this
Agreement had such not occurred. In the event that Licensee or
that portion of the business of Licensee to which this Agreement pertains
is nationalized, expropriated, or otherwise taken over or managed by the
government of the Territory, Extended Territory, or of any political
subdivision thereof or by any department or agency thereof, or if the
government of the country of Licensee's head office, and/or its policy,
changes in such substantial fashion that Licensee's ability to fully
perform its obligations hereunder are reasonably drawn into question, or
if the country of Licensee's head office comes under the control of
another country or external governmental entity, in any such event
Licensor shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this
Agreement.
|
20.7
|
Force
Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for any delays or
failures to perform any of its obligations hereunder due to any causes or

continue for a period of three (3) months, Licensor shall thereafter have
the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice of termination to
Licensee referring to this Section 20.7.

|
Waiver and
Amendment. No rights, conditions, or obligations granted
or required under this Agreement shall be considered as having been waived
or amended unless specifically so stated in writing and signed by both

party shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default or
other default of such party.
|
20.9
|
Prior and Contemporaneous
Agreements Superseded. This Agreement wholly supersedes
and renders void for all purposes any and all prior and contemporaneous
agreements, understandings, and discussions between the parties with
