Re:
KRR
Co-Brand License Agreement
Gentlemen:
Reference
is made to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 23, 2008 by and among
Nathan’s Famous, Inc. (“Seller”), Roasters Asia Pacific (Cayman) Limited
(“Purchaser”) and NF Roasters Corp. (“Company”) (the “Stock Purchase
Agreement”). Except as otherwise expressly provided, all capitalized terms used
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Stock Purchase
Agreement.
In
accordance with Section 4.4 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Parties have
agreed that, simultaneously with the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement,
Purchaser on the one hand and Seller or an affiliate of Seller on the other
hand
shall enter into a separate agreement (the “KRR Co-Brand License Agreement”) to
appoint NFSI (as defined below) as Company’s agent to enforce the terms and
conditions of the Sub-License Agreement (as defined below), including the
quality control requirements specified thereunder, and to appoint NFSI as a
licensee with the right to grant sub-licenses in respect of the Intellectual
Property Rights. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Seller would not
execute, deliver and perform the Stock Purchase Agreement without the
simultaneous execution and delivery of this Agreement.
When
executed by Company and Nathan’s Famous Systems, Inc. (“NFSI”), an affiliate of
Seller, the following terms shall constitute the KRR Co-Brand License Agreement
(as described in Section 4.4 of the Stock Purchase Agreement). Consequently,
the
Company and NFSI hereby agree as follows:
|
1.
|
Company
hereby irrevocably assigns to NFSI, for so long as the license granted
hereunder shall remain in effect, all of Company’s right, title and
interest in and to the Sub-License Agreements to which the Company
is a
party; excluding however, any right, title and interest of the Company
as
set forth in Sections 4, 6 and 10(d)
thereof.
|
|
2.
|
Company
hereby grants a license to NFSI all of the Intellectual Property
Rights
which are necessary for NFSI to operate and/or authorize the operation
of
the KRR Co-Branded Locations pursuant to the terms set forth herein.
The
Company agrees to maintain and enforce all Intellectual Property
Rights
licensed to NFSI pursuant to this Agreement, and to keep all such
rights
in full force and effect, as Company deems necessary in Company’s sole and
absolute discretion in order to permit the operation of the KRR Co-Branded
Locations as presently operated.
|
|
3.
|
NFSI
shall be permitted to use or sublicense the use of the Intellectual
Property Rights in connection with the operation and/or authorization
of
the operation only of the KRR Co-Branded Locations as listed on Exhibit
A
hereto pursuant to the terms and conditions of the license agreements
between NFSI and the operators of such co-branded locations (“Sub-License
Agreements”) and for no other purpose.
|
|
4.
|
NFSI
is hereby appointed as Company’s agent with respect to all Sub-License
Agreements and NFSI agrees to enforce all of the terms and conditions
of
the Sub-License Agreements, including but not limited to the maintenance
of quality control; provided that in the event of any difference
between
the provisions of Section 2 of the Sub-License Agreements and the
Existing
Standards, the maintenance of quality control shall de deemed to
require
that the sub-licensees maintain the Existing Standards. In this regard,
NFSI will conduct periodic inspections of each location to ensure
that the
Existing Standards are being met and will send reports to Company
after
such inspections are conducted.
|
|
5.
|
NFSI
agrees that the KRR Co-Branded Locations will be operated by NFSI
and/or
the “Nathan’s Famous” and “Miami Subs” franchisees in compliance with the
Existing Standards, and that the KRR Co-Branded Locations will not
be
permitted to make any changes to the Existing Standards without Company’s
prior written consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). However, no KRR Co-Branded Locations shall have any obligation
to comply with any changes to the Existing Standards proposed or
suggested
by Company.
|
|
6.
|
As
between NFSI and Company, NFSI shall be solely responsible for all
franchise support owed to the operators of the KRR Co-Branded Locations,
and Company shall have no liability in connection
therewith.
|
|
7.
|
The
rights granted to NFSI hereunder shall continue for the term of the
Sub-License Agreements; provided that nothing shall obligate any
particular KRR Co-Branded Location to continue to use the Intellectual
Property Rights. If any such location ceases to use the Intellectual
Property Rights, the Sub-License Agreement for such location shall
be
deemed immediately terminated and NFSI shall ensure that the sub-licensee
shall terminate its use of the Intellectual Property Rights.
|
|
8.
|
No
franchise fees, royalties, product rebates or any other monies shall
be
due from NFSI (or its operators and suppliers) to Company in connection
with the continued operation of the Existing KRR Co-Branded
Locations.
|
|
9.
|
The
Company, its affiliates, successors and assigns shall have the right
to
use or license the Intellectual Property Rights at any location throughout
the world (“Company Location”) irrespective of whether any such Company
Location competes with an Existing KRR Co-Branded Location.
|
|
10.
|
This
Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the
internal laws of the State of New York, without reference to the
choice of law or conflicts of law principles thereof. The parties
hereto
irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the state or Federal courts
located in Nassau County, New York in connection with any suit,
action or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby (including any claim for
injunctive relief), and hereby agree not to assert, by way of motion,
as a
defense, or otherwise in any such suit, action or proceeding that
the
suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that
the
venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this
agreement
or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced by such
courts.
|
|
11.
|
For
the purpose of facilitating the execution of this Agreement and for
other
purposes, this Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number
of
counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an
original, and all of which counterparts shall constitute but one
and the
same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page
to this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of
a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
