(ii)

Failure to Contribute. If either Class A Member fails to make the additional Capital Contributions required by Section 2.2(a) above when due, a notice of default shall be given to such defaulting Class A Member by the Board. The defaulting Class A Member may not make less than the full amount of such required additional Capital Contribution, and the making by the defaulting Class A Member of less than the full amount of such required additional Capital Contribution shall be a default. If the full amount of such required Capital Contribution is not received by the Company within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such notice of default, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem all of the Class A Units held by the defaulting Class A Member, by giving written notice thereto. The redemption price payable by the Company for the defaulting Member’s Class A Units shall be $100.00. The closing of the redemption of the defaulting Member’s Class A Units pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) shall occur within ninety (90) days following delivery of notice of the Company’s election to redeem such Class A Units.

(c)

Other Additional Capital Contributions. The Board shall monitor the capital needs of the Company and, if the Board reasonably determines that an operating deficit or anticipated operating deficit requires the expenditure of funds that exceed funds then available to the Company, and such expenditure is in the Board’s judgment reasonably necessary in order to continue the operation of the Company or for purposes of funding non-discretionary items, then the Class A Members shall be notified of such operating deficit or anticipated operating deficit.

(i)

Other Mandatory Additional Capital Contributions. In connection with the foregoing in this Section 2.2(c), the Class A Members hereby agree that they shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to the Company of up to $1,000,000 in the aggregate during the existence of the Company upon the written request therefor from the Board. Such additional Capital Contributions shall

5230180v8

be made by such Class A Members to the Company pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests of the Class A Units. Any such additional Capital Contributions shall be made by the Class A Members within fifteen (15) days after such call by the Board is made; provided, however, in the event of an emergency, the Board may specify an earlier date for delivery of such additional Capital Contributions as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances. If a Class A Member fails to make an additional Capital Contribution required by this Section 2.2(c)(i) when due (such a Member is herein referred to as a “Defaulting Contributor”), a notice of default shall be given to such Class A Member by the Board. A Class A Member may not make less than the full amount of a required additional Capital Contribution, and the making by a Class A Member of less than the full amount of a required additional Capital Contribution shall be a default. If the full amount of such required Capital Contribution is not received by the Company within three (3) Business Days after the Defaulting Contributor’s receipt of such notice of default, the Board and the other Class A Member(s), as applicable, may pursue any one or more of the following remedies:

(A)

The other Class A Member(s) shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make the Defaulting Contributor’s required Capital Contribution on behalf of the Defaulting Contributor and treat the amount of such Capital Contribution as a loan to the Defaulting Contributor. Any such loan shall be made by those Class A Member(s) who elect to do so (such Members are referred to as the “Loaning Members”) pro rata to the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Loaning Members (calculated without regard to the Units held by the Defaulting Contributor) or in such other proportions as they agree, shall bear interest at LIBOR (three month) plus 3%, compounded monthly, shall be secured by the Defaulting Contributor’s Member’s Units in the Company pursuant to Uniform Commercial Code in effect in North Carolina, and shall be due and payable six (6) full months from the date thereof. Further, such loan(s) shall be payable from time to time prior to the final due date therefor out of any and all distributions that otherwise would be payable to the Defaulting Contributor under this Agreement and such amounts shall be paid as a prepayment of such loan. Any prepayments attributable to any distributions that otherwise would be payable to the Defaulting Contributor shall be allocated among the Loaning Members in proportion to the amount of the Defaulting Contributor’s Capital Contribution funded by each such Loaning Member. All distributions which would otherwise be made pursuant to this Agreement to a Defaulting Contributor shall be made to the Loaning Members (being deemed a payment on behalf of the Defaulting Contributor) until all loans of such Defaulting Contributor made pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(i) have been repaid in full. If any such loan is not paid in full on or before its due date, the Defaulting Contributor shall be in default thereunder, and the Loaning Members shall have the right to exercise any of the remedies of a secured creditor under the laws of the State of North Carolina, including its Uniform Commercial Code, against the Defaulting Contributor, and shall also have the right to treat the amount in default (including any accrued but unpaid interest) as an additional Capital Contribution to the Company.

(B)

If a Majority Interest of the Loaning Members determines that the amount in default should be treated as an additional Capital Contribution to the Company by the Loaning Members, the number of Class A Units held by each of the Class A Members shall be re-determined as of the date of such default in accordance with the following: the aggregate Capital Contributions made to the Company by each Class A Member shall be determined, and the aggregate outstanding principal amount loaned to the Defaulting Contributor by each Loaning Member, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be treated as a Capital Contribution made by the Loaning Members and no portion of any such amount shall be treated as a Capital Contribution by the Defaulting Contributor. The aggregate Capital Contributions so determined for each Class A Member, including the Defaulting Contributor, are referred to herein as the “Total Capital Contributions.” The re-determined Class A Units of each of the Class A Members shall then be the amount equal to (A) the number of Class A Units outstanding immediately prior to such additional Capital Contributions multiplied by (B) a percentage determined by dividing the Total Capital Contribution for each Class A Member by the sum of the Total Capital Contributions of all Class A Members. The Percentage Interest of each Class A Member shall then be re-calculated accordingly.

5230180v8

(C)

The Company shall have the right to institute legal proceedings to collect the Defaulting Contributor’s required Capital Contribution or to pursue any other remedies available at law or in equity.

(ii)

Elective Additional Capital Contributions. Except as set forth in Section 2.2(b) and Section 2.2(c)(i) above, no Class A Member shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may make a call for additional Capital Contributions by the Class A Members. Additional Capital Contributions shall be made by such Class A Members to the Company pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests. Any such additional Capital Contributions shall be made by the Class A Members within fifteen (15) days after such call by the Board is made; provided, however, in the event of an emergency, the Board may specify an earlier date for delivery of such additional Capital Contributions as may be reasonably necessary under the circumstances. If a Class A Member elects not to make or otherwise fails to make an additional Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(ii) when due (such a Class A Member is herein referred to as a “Non-Contributing Member”), notice shall be given to the Non-Contributing Member by the Board. If the full amount of such Capital Contribution is not received by the Company within three (3) Business Days after the Non-Contributing Member’s receipt of such notice, the other Class A Members shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make the Non-Contributing Member’s Capital Contribution. Any such payment shall be made by those Class A Members who elect to do so (such Class A Members are referred to as the “Contributing Members”), pro rata to the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Contributing Members or in such other proportions as they agree, and shall be treated as an additional Capital Contribution to the Company by the Contributing Members, unless the Contributing Members elect to put such additional funds into the Company as a loan, on the terms set forth in Section 2.2(c)(i)(A) above. The Class A Members’ Class A Units shall be redetermined as of the date of such payment in the manner set forth in Section 2.2(c)(i)(B)

(d)

No Capital Contributions by Class B Members. No Class B Member shall be required to make any Capital Contributions to the Company, and the Board shall not make a call for additional Capital Contributions by the Class B Members.

2.3

Loans.

(a)

Generally. Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Board, from time to time, may cause the Company to borrow funds from any Person, including any Member or any Affiliate of a Member, for any Company purpose upon commercially reasonable terms. No Member or any Affiliate of a Member shall be required or permitted to make any loans or otherwise lend any funds to the Company, except as approved by such Member and the Board. No loans made by any Member or its Affiliate to the Company shall have any effect on such Member’s Percentage Interest (including without limitation the number of Units owned by the Member), such loans representing a debt of the Company payable or collectible solely from the assets of the Company, non-recourse to any Member (including a Manager), in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such loans were made.

(b)

Member Guaranty Obligations; Indemnity for Obligations.

(i)

Guaranty of Obligations. Each Class A Member agrees that in the event the Company borrows funds from a commercial lender or a Member or an Affiliate thereof, executes a lease or enters into any other financial obligations (“Obligations”) and such lender, lessor or other person requires that the Obligations be personally guaranteed, each Class A Member will, at the request of the Board, guarantee a portion thereof equal to such Class A Member’s Percentage Interest, which guarantee shall not be joint and several. A Class A Member may, but shall not be required to, guarantee more than such Class A Member’s Percentage Interest.

5230180v8

(ii)

Indemnity for Obligations. Each Member agrees, for the benefit of the other Members, to: (A) pay its proportionate share of any Obligations that are personally guaranteed by all of the Members if called upon to do so by the applicable lender; and (B) indemnify and hold harmless all other Members to the extent of any payments of such guaranteed indebtedness made by any of the other Members that are attributable to the indemnifying Member’s proportionate share thereof. For the purposes of this Section 2.3(b)(ii), “proportionate share” shall mean such indemnifying Member’s Percentage Interest at the time the Member to be indemnified pays a portion of such guaranteed Obligations that is attributable to the indemnifying Member. The provisions of this Section 2.3(b)(ii) are for the benefit of the Members only and no third party is or is intended to be benefited hereby.

(iii)

LIMITATION. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 2.3(b), ANY LOAN TO THE COMPANY BY ANY MEMBER NOT (A) HAVING AUTHORIZATION IN WRITING BY THE BOARD, (B) EVIDENCED BY A PROMISSORY NOTE FOR THE SPECIFIC AMOUNT WITH REPAYMENT TERMS SPECIFICALLY DEFINED IN THE NOTE AND (C) EXECUTED ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY BY THE BOARD SHALL NOT BE A DEBT OF THE COMPANY NOR A LIABILITY OF ANY MEMBER, EXCEPT, IF A CLASS A MEMBER SHOWS IT WAS MADE WITH ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE AND APPROVAL OF THE OTHER CLASS A MEMBERS, IT SHALL BE REPAYABLE AS A LOAN PRIOR TO DISTRIBUTIONS OF CAPITAL.

2.4

Withdrawal; Reduction of Members’ Capital Contributions. No Member shall be entitled to withdraw any part of such Member’s Capital Contributions or to receive any distribution except as expressly provided herein and no Member shall have the right to receive property other than cash. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Member shall have priority over any other Member as to the return of any Capital Contributions or the right to receive any distributions from the Company other than in the form of cash.

2.5

No Interest on Capital Contributions. Members shall not be paid interest on their Capital Contributions.

2.6

Return of Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have the right to receive the return of any Capital Contribution.

2.7

2.8

Nature of Interest; Prohibition on Pledge. The Units shall for all purposes be personal property. As provided in Section 1.9 above, no Member has any interest in specific Company property. Each Member hereby waives any and all rights such Person may have to initiate or maintain any suit or action for partition of the Company’s assets. A Member shall be permitted to pledge his, her or its Units as collateral for a loan or for any other purpose, provided that in the event of default as to such pledge with respect to which the pledgee exercises its rights thereunder, the pledgee (and any transferee thereof) shall automatically become solely an Economic Interest Owner and cease to have any rights hereunder with respect to the management of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to appoint Managers pursuant to Section 3.4(a) below.

2.9

Capital Accounts. A capital account shall be established and maintained for each Member in accordance with the rules of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations (each, a “Capital Account”). Each Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by (a) the amount of money contributed by such Member to the Company, (b) the Fair Market Value of property contributed by such Member to the Company (net of liabilities secured by the contributed property that the Company is

5230180v8

considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), and (c) allocations to such Member of Net Profits and items of income and gain specially allocated to such Member under Section 6.3. Each Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by (i) the amount of money distributed to such Member by the Company, (ii) the Fair Market Value of property distributed to such Member by the Company (net of liabilities secured by the distributed property that the Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Section 752 of the Code), and (iii) allocations to such Member of Net Losses and items of loss and deduction specially allocated to such Member under Section 6.3. The Capital Accounts also shall be maintained and adjusted as permitted by the provisions of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Treasury Regulations and as required by the other provisions of Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and 1.704-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations.

For purposes hereof, the Fair Market Value of any property shall be such amount as is determined by the Board.

2.10

During the period in which Good Times is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Company, Good Times shall be required to obtain the approval of the Board with respect to (A) any single capital or operating expenditure of the Company, if such expenditure is not expressly provided for in the Business Plan adopted and applicable for the respective Fiscal Year and exceeds $20,000 in the aggregate for that particular Fiscal Year, or (B) any action outside of the ordinary course of business of the Company that is not expressly described in the then current Business Plan, prior to taking any such action. Good Times shall prepare and distribute to the Board within fifteen (15) business days after the end of each calendar month a report containing such information as is requested by the Board, relating to the day-to-day operations of the Company, and shall promptly on an ongoing basis provide such information, copies of books, records or other materials, or data as the Board may request.

(ii)

Removal. Subject to, and as limited by the express provisions of this Agreement, a Manager may only be removed by (A) the Class A Member appointing such Manager or (B) for Cause, as determined in good faith by the Board.

No Manager appointed pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(i) may be removed other than for Cause without the vote or written consent of the Member entitled to nominate such Manager pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(i). In the event of the resignation, death or disqualification of a Manager, the Member entitled to designate such Manager shall promptly nominate a new Manager in accordance with Section 3.4(b)(i), and each Class A Member shall promptly vote his, her or its Class A Units to elect such nominee to the Board.

(iii)

Any Manager of the Company may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Board. The resignation of any Manager shall take effect upon receipt of notice thereof or at such later time as shall be specified in such notice, and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Subject to, and as limited by the express provisions of this Agreement, only the Member who appointed such Manager may fill any vacancy or vacancies in the Board caused by any such resignation. However, the successor Manager must be approved by vote of a Majority Interest. Managers need not be residents of the State of North Carolina or Members of the Company.

(i)

Meetings of the Board shall be held at least quarterly, unless otherwise approved by the Board, and may be held at such place, within or without the State of North Carolina, designated by any three (3) Managers and of which all Managers are given not less than 48 hours’ notice. Managers may participate in a meeting of the Board in person or by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Subject to Section 3.4(d) below, at any meeting of the Board, the vote of a majority of the Managers, whether or not present at such meetings, shall be necessary to take any action. For such purpose, each Manager shall have one vote.

All written consents shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board.

(d)

Limitations on Authority of the Managers.

(e)

Company Territories. The Board shall meet from time to time and discuss those territories that it believes should be developed by the Company and its Members and their respective Affiliates and those that should be franchised. In connection with the foregoing:

(i)

For so long as BD of Colorado LLC, a Colorado limited liability company to be formed promptly following the date hereof and majority owned by Good Times (“BD of Colorado”), is in full compliance with the Development Schedule set forth in that certain License Agreement of even date herewith, by and between the Company and BD of Colorado (the “Original BD of Colorado License”), (A) any franchise sale in the States of Colorado, Kansas and Arizona must be approved by at least a majority of the Board, including the Good Times Managers. In the event the Good Times Managers elect not to approve a franchise prospect that (I) desires to develop a territory in such States through a reasonably acceptable development schedule, (II) is reasonably qualified for such opportunity and otherwise meets the Company’s new franchisee sales criteria, including possessing the requisite operating experience and net worth, and (III) has been approved by the BDI Managers, Good Times shall cause BD of Colorado to (x) execute a license agreement (substantially in the form of the Original BD of Colorado License) to develop the territory requested by such prospect within twelve (12) months following the date of such approval by the BDI Managers or, if multiple stores are to be developed, pursuant to a development schedule agreed upon by Good Times and BDI, and (y) pay the license fee applicable to that store number (as set forth in the Original BD of Colorado License); and (B) assuming the BD of Colorado Bad Daddy’s Restaurants then open are performing at least as well as the average franchisee-owned Bad Daddy’s then open, Good Times shall at any time have the right to develop territories in the States of Arizona and/or Kansas (to the extent that such territory is not then subject to development rights by or part of the protected territory of any third party) pursuant to a new license agreement with the Company (in substantially the form of the Original BD of Colorado License), provided that the development schedule proposed therefor by Good Times is demographically and otherwise comparable to the development schedule for Colorado and is approved by the Board, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights granted to BD of Colorado in this Section 3.4(e)(i) shall not apply with respect to those franchisee prospects with whom the Company is engaged in discussions with respect to the greater Kansas City area as of the date of this Agreement.

5230180v8

(ii)

Any franchise sale in the States of North Carolina and Virginia and the greater Charleston, SC area must be approved by at least a majority of the Board, including the BDI Managers. In the event the BDI Managers elect not to approve a franchise prospect that (A) desires to develop a territory in such States or metropolitan area, as applicable, (B) otherwise meets the Company’s new franchisee sales criteria, including possessing the requisite operating experience and net worth, and (C) has been approved by the Good Times Managers, BDI shall or shall cause an entity majority owned and controlled (directly or through majority owned and controlled subsidiaries), collectively, by BDI, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and/or ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (a “BDI Entity”), to execute either (x) if the BDI Entity or any Affiliate thereof will manage the-day-to-day affairs of a Restaurant to be developed, a license agreement with BDI and a services agreement with the Company (substantially in the form of the agreements executed by Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of BDI) (the “BDBB Form Agreements”), or (y) if the BDI Entity or any Affiliate thereof will not manage the-day-to-day affairs of a Restaurant to be developed, a license agreement with the Company substantially in the form of the license agreement entered into by Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar of Cary, LLC and the Company, as amended (the “▇▇▇▇ License”), in each case to develop the territory requested by such prospect within twelve (12) months following the date of such approval by the Good Times Managers or, if multiple stores are to be developed, pursuant to a development schedule agreed upon by Good Times and BDI.

(iii)

In the event BDI or a BDI Entity develops future Restaurants (which they can do at any time upon the approval of a majority of the Board), they shall be required to execute agreements substantially similar to (and with the same economic terms as) (A) the BDBB Form Agreements in connection therewith if they will manage the day-to-day affairs of the Restaurants to be developed or (B) the ▇▇▇▇ License in connection therewith if they will not manage the day-to-day affairs of the Restaurants to be developed. In the event Good Times or its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, including BD of Colorado develop future Restaurants, they shall be required to execute agreements substantially similar to (and with the same economic terms (other than development rights) as) the Original BD of Colorado License in connection therewith.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in any other document related to the Restaurants, the parties agree that with respect to all Restaurants owned in whole or in part by BDI, such Restaurant shall not be required to implement and/or upgrade any technological, accounting or computing systems unless and until (a) such systems are approved by BDI, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (b) sufficient time (as reasonably determined by BDI) is provided for such implementation and/or upgrades to allow for appropriate cost and transition planning.

(f)

Good Times Public Filings. As of the Effective Date, Good Times’ securities are publicly traded on Nasdaq Capital Markets, and in connection therewith Good Times is required to comply with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission, as well as those of the exchange upon which its securities are listed. Good Times hereby agrees that BDI shall be provided the opportunity to review, comment upon and approve any public filings or disclosures made thereby that disclose any information and/or make any statements about the Company, the Bad Daddy’s System or BDI. Drafts of such filings or disclosures shall be provided to BDI as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which they are proposed to be publicly filed or made, as applicable, and BDI’s comments shall be due to Good Times within two (2) Business Days of its receipt thereof.

(g)

Compensation of Managers. Except as provided in any written employment agreement or as approved by all Class A Members, Managers, as such, shall not receive any stated salary for their services, but shall receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at

5230180v8

each regular or special meeting of the Board and reasonably incurred when acting or conducting business on behalf of the Company.

3.5

Performance of Duties; No Liability of Managers. No Member shall have any duty to the Company or any other Member of the Company except as expressly set forth herein or in other written agreements. No Manager or officer shall be liable to the Company or to any Member for any loss or damage sustained by the Company or any Member, unless the loss or damage shall have been the result of fraud or intentional misconduct by such Manager or officer. In performing his, her or its duties, each such Person shall be entitled to rely in good faith on the provisions of this Agreement and on information, opinions, reports or statements (including financial statements and information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value or amount of the assets, liabilities, profits or losses of the Company or any facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members might properly be paid) of the following other Persons or groups: one or more employees of the Company, any lawyer, independent accountant, appraiser or other expert or professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of the Company or the Board, or any other Person who, in the case of any of the foregoing, has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company or the Board, in each case as to matters which such relying Person reasonably believes to be within such other Person’s competence. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any Person’s right to rely on such information to the extent provided in the Act. No Member, Manager or officer shall be personally liable under any judgment of a court, or in any other manner, for any debt, obligation or liability of the Company, whether that liability or obligation arises in contract, tort or otherwise, solely by reason of being a Member, Manager or officer.

3.6

Transactions Between the Company and the Members. Notwithstanding that it may constitute a conflict of interest, but subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Members and the Managers and their respective Affiliates may engage in any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, lending funds to the Company, or the rendering of any service or the establishment of any salary, other compensation or other terms of employment) with the Company, provided it is approved by the Board and/or the Class A Members in accordance with the terms hereof.

3.7

Right to Indemnification. Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided in this Article III, each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or arbitrative, by reason of the fact that such Person, or a Person of which such Person is the legal representative, is or was a Member, Manager or officer (together with any appeal thereof, a “Proceeding”) shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment) against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), liabilities, claims, damages, demands, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees) actually incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding, appeal, inquiry, or investigation (each a “Loss”); provided, however, that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter to the extent expressly prohibited by the Act. Indemnification under this Article III shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity that initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder. The Company may advance the amount of any expenses incurred in connection with a Proceeding to any Member, Manager or officer who is entitled to indemnification hereunder. The rights granted pursuant to this Article III shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this Article III shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings, appeals, inquiries or investigations arising prior to any such amendment, modification or repeal.

5230180v8

3.8

Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Company, at the direction of the Board, may indemnify and advance expenses to an employee or agent of the Company (who is not a Member, Manager or officer) to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it shall indemnify and advance expenses under Section 3.7.

3.9

Nonexclusively of Rights. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article III shall not be exclusive of any other right that a Member or Manager, or other Person indemnified pursuant to this Article III, may have or hereafter acquire under any contract, law (common or statutory), or provision of this Agreement.

3.10

Savings Clause. If this Article III or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Person indemnified pursuant to this Article III as to costs, charges, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any such Proceeding, appeal, inquiry, or investigation to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article III that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

3.11

5230180v8

ARTICLE IV

RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS AND ACTIONS OF MEMBERS

4.1

Limited Participation in Management by Members.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have the right to vote on or consent to any other matter, act, decision or document involving the Company or its business.

4.2

Actions/Consents by the Members. Except as otherwise set forth herein, in any instance where any approval, election, consent, designation, vote, action or determination of the Members is expressly required or provided for in this Agreement (a “Member Action”), such Member Action may be taken either (a) at a meeting of the Members where Class A Members owning a Majority Interest affirmatively vote to approve such Member Action or (b) may be taken without a meeting if the Member Action is evidenced by one or more written consents describing the Member Action taken signed by a Majority Interest, provided that a copy of such proposed Member Action is promptly provided to all Members after such Member Action being consented to. All written consents shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Members. Such Member Action without a meeting will be effective when the Class A Members required to approve such Member Action have signed the consent(s), unless the consent(s) specifies(y) a different effective date. The execution and delivery of any document or consent by any Person with apparent authority to act for or on behalf of a Member shall be conclusive evidence of the authorization to the Company, its other Members and the Board, and any third party shall be authorized to rely conclusively thereon. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein with respect to any specific matter, any Member Action shall require the approval of a Majority Interest of the Class A Members. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Act or other applicable law, in no event shall any Member Action require the approval of any particular class of Units, it being understood that each Class A Unit is entitled to one (1) vote per Class A Unit and the Class B Units are non-voting.

4.3

Meetings. The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall apply to meetings of Members or to a specified class (or classes) of Members.

(a)

Calling Meetings. Meetings of Members shall be called by the Board only when the Board deems necessary or by a Class A Member. Any such meeting shall be held at the principal place of business of the Company, or at such other location as determined by the Board, or may be held in part or in whole telephonically.

(b)

Proxies. At all meetings of Members, a Class A Member may vote in person or by proxy. A Class A Member may appoint a proxy by executing a writing which authorizes another Person or Persons to vote or otherwise act on the Class A Member’s behalf. Such writing shall be filed with the Board before or at the time of the meeting.

(c)

Notice of Meetings. The Board shall use its reasonable efforts to provide each Member with at least two (2) days’ notice of a meeting of the Members. Such notice shall contain the date, time and place of such meeting, but need not state the purpose for the meeting. The failure of a Member to obtain notice of a meeting shall not void any Member Action taken at such meeting so long as the required approval of the Member Action at such meeting is obtained in accordance with Section 4.2.

(d)

Telephonic Participation. Representatives of the Class A Members may participate in any meetings of the Members telephonically or through other similar communications equipment, as long as the representative of each Member participating in the meeting can hear one another. Participation in a

5230180v8

meeting pursuant to the preceding sentence shall constitute presence in person at such meeting for all purposes of this Agreement.

4.4

Limitation on Liability. Each Member’s liability shall be limited as set forth in this Agreement, the Act and other applicable law.

4.5

No Liability for Company Obligations. Except as expressly set forth herein, no Member will have any personal liability for any debts or losses of the Company.

4.6

Withdrawal or Dissociation. The Members expressly agree that by virtue of this Section 4.6, any right granted by Section 57C-5-06 of the Act to withdraw shall not apply. If, notwithstanding any other portion of this Section 4.6, a Member withdraws or dissociates from the Company prior to the Transfer of all of the Member’s Units pursuant to this Agreement or dissolution of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, then such Member shall not be entitled to any distributions from the Company as a result of such withdrawal or dissociation.

Each Member agrees, during the term of such Member’s association with the Company and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, all non-public information received from or otherwise relating to the Company shall be confidential, and shall not be disclosed or otherwise released to any other Person (other than another Member or its agents), without the written approval of the Board. Accordingly, each Member shall, and shall cause its agents and attorneys to, hold in confidence all such information; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.7 shall prohibit disclosure of any information in any court filings reasonably necessary for a Member to assert legal rights and remedies with respect to the Company and the Member’s Units. The obligations under this provision shall be in addition to any other obligations of confidentiality a Person may have arising from another agreement or capacity.

4.8

Injunctive Relief. Each Member expressly agrees that the provisions of Sections 2.8 and 4.7 are a reasonable effort to protect the mutual interests of the Members in the growth and development of the Company and their Units and that breach of any such provisions would work substantial harm to the Company. In the event that any Member shall breach or attempt to breach any of the provisions of Section 2.8 or 4.7, then the Board, in addition to all rights and remedies the Company may have, at law and/or in equity, shall be entitled to a decree or order restraining and enjoining such breach and the offending party shall not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law; it being hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that damages at law shall be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach or violation of the provisions of Section 2.8 or 4.7.

ARTICLE V

DISTRIBUTIONS

5.1

Distributions.

(a)

Net Available Cash. Subject to the provisions of this Article V, Net Available Cash shall be distributed to the Members, as and when determined by the Board, in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests; provided, however, that, other than distributions pursuant to Section 5.2 below, Net Available Cash shall not be distributed to the Members prior to the date that is the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Effective Date, unless the Class A Members otherwise unanimously agree upon any such distributions.

(b)

Net Capital Proceeds. Subject to the provisions of this Article V, Net Capital Proceeds shall be distributed to the Members as follows:

5230180v8

(i)

First, to the Class A Members until the Class A Members’ Unreturned Capital Contributions have been reduced to zero, shared between the Class A Members pro rata in accordance with each Class A Member’s Unreturned Capital Contributions; and

(ii)

Thereafter, to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

(c)

No Distributions to Class B Members. Unless otherwise provided in the Grant Agreement pursuant to which the Company issued Class B Units, each holder of Class B Units shall not be entitled to receive distributions pursuant to Section 5.1(b) until such time as the amount of distributions pursuant to Section 5.1(b) made by the Company after the issuance of such Class B Units has exceeded the Benchmark Amount applicable to such Class B Units, after which this proviso shall not apply with respect to such Class B Unit.

5.2.

Distributions with Respect to Tax.

(a)

Notwithstanding Section 5.1 or any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to the availability of cash as determined by the Board, the Company shall, prior to any distributions pursuant to Section 5.1, distribute to each Member an amount equal to such Member’s Tax Distribution to enable the Members to pay federal, state and local income taxes arising from their ownership of Units during a Taxable Year; provided, however, in no event shall the Company make Tax Distributions if such Tax Distributions would cause the Company to be in violation of any agreement to which it is a party.

(b)

The amount distributable to a Member pursuant to Section 5.2(a) with respect to a Taxable Year of the Company shall be equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the cumulative Net Profits allocated to such Member pursuant to Article VI (but not including any allocation of taxable income (or other corresponding items) as a result of book/tax differences under Section 704(c) of the Code) and as to which the Members are subject to tax over (B) the cumulative Net Losses (including any items of losses, deductions and expenses that are specially allocated to such Member under Section 6.3), if any, theretofore allocated to such Member from the Company from the Effective Date through the end of such Taxable Year and not previously applied for purposes of this Section 5.2(b)(i)(B), and (ii) the Assumed Tax Rate (a “Tax Distribution”).

(c)

Any and all Tax Distributions shall be paid with respect to any Taxable Year of the Company on each April 10, June 10 and September 10 of such Taxable Year, and each January 10 following such Taxable Year, to allow the Members to pay their estimated income tax liability (based on the Board’s good faith estimate of the taxable income of the Company for the current Taxable Year, the amount of such taxable income to be allocated to each Member in accordance with Article VI, and the amount of the Tax Distribution which each Member is entitled pursuant to Section 5.2(b)), with any additional Tax Distribution (based on the actual taxable income of the Company for such Taxable Year that is allocated to each Member) to be paid no later than April 10 following such Taxable Year.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) Tax Distributions made under this Section 5.2 shall reduce amounts otherwise distributable pursuant to Section 5.1(a), 5.1(b), and 9.3(d), and shall be taken into account as distributions pursuant to this Agreement for purposes of determining a Class A Member’s Unreturned Capital Contribution and (ii) distributions to a Member pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be Tax Distributions made pursuant to this Section 5.2 in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all Tax Distributions otherwise distributable (calculated pursuant to Section 5.2(b)) to such Member pursuant to this Section 5.2 from the Effective Date.

5230180v8

5.3

Distributions upon Liquidation. Upon a final liquidation of the Company, all Company assets shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 9.3 of this Agreement.

5.4

Withholding. Unless treated as a Tax Payment Loan, any amount paid by the Company for or with respect to any Person (including a Foreign Person) on account of any withholding tax or other tax payable with respect to the income, profits or distributions of the Company pursuant to the Code, the Treasury Regulations, or any state or local statute, regulation or ordinance requiring such payment (a “Withholding Tax Act”) shall be treated as a distribution to such Member for all purposes of this Agreement, consistent with the character or source of the income, profits or cash which gave rise to the payment or withholding obligation. To the extent that the amount required to be remitted by the Company under the Withholding Tax Act exceeds the amount then otherwise distributable to such Member, the excess shall constitute a loan from the Company to such Member (a “Tax Payment Loan”) which shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest, from the date that the Company makes the payment to the relevant taxing authority, at LIBOR (three month) plus 3%, compounded monthly. So long as any Tax Payment Loan or the interest thereon remains unpaid, the Company shall make future distributions due to such Member under this Agreement by applying the amount of any such distribution first to the payment of any unpaid interest on all Tax Payment Loans of such Member and then to the repayment of the principal of all Tax Payment Loans of such Member, provided that any unpaid interest on a Tax Payment Loan shall be paid in full no later than each anniversary date of the payment to the relevant taxing authority.

The Board shall have the authority to take all actions necessary to enable the Company to comply with the provisions of any Withholding Tax Act applicable to the Company and to carry out the provisions of this Section 5.4. Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall create any obligation on the part of the Board or the Members to advance funds to the Company or to borrow funds from third parties in order to make any payments on account of any liability of the Company under a Withholding Tax Act.

5.5

Limitation on Distributions. No distributions shall be made by the Company if, after giving effect to the distribution, either (a) the Company would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or (b) the Company’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities. This Section 5.5 is intended to limit distributions only to the minimum extent required by Section 57C-4-06 of the Act and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such intent.

After making any special allocations required by Section 6.3, Net Losses for each Fiscal Year (and each item of loss and deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated among the Members (and debited to their respective Capital Accounts) in the following order and priority:

(a)

First, to the Members, until the cumulative Net Losses allocated pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) are equal to the cumulative Net Profits, if any, previously allocated to the Members pursuant to Section 6.2(d) for all prior periods in proportion to the Members’ respective shares of the Net Profits being offset;

(b)

Second, to the Class A Members, in accordance with and in proportion to their Unreturned Capital Contribution as of the end of the period to which the allocation of Net Losses under this Section 6.1(b) relates; and

(c)

Third, to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

5230180v8

(d)

Net Losses allocated in accordance with subparagraphs (a), (b), or (c) of this Section 6.1 to the Capital Account of any Member shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses that can be so allocated without creating a deficit balance in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account. This limitation shall be applied individually with respect to each Member in order to permit the allocation pursuant to this Section 6.1(d) of the maximum amount of Net Losses permissible under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). All Net Losses in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 6.1(d) shall be allocated solely to those Members that bear the economic risk for such additional Net Losses within the meaning of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder. If it is necessary to allocate Net Losses under the preceding sentence, the Board shall, in accordance with the Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, determine those Members that bear the economic risk for such additional Net Losses.

6.2

Net Profits. After making any special allocations required by Section 6.3, Net Profits for each Fiscal Year (and each item of income and gain entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated among the Members (and credited to their respective Capital Accounts) in the following order and priority:

(a)

First, to the Members, until the cumulative Net Profits allocated pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) are equal to the cumulative Net Losses, if any, previously allocated to the Members pursuant to Section 6.1(d) for all prior periods in proportion to the Members’ respective shares of the Net Losses being offset;

(b)

Second, to the Members, until the cumulative Net Profits allocated pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) are equal to the cumulative Net Losses, if any, previously allocated to the Members pursuant to Section 6.1(c) for all prior periods in proportion to the Members’ respective shares of the Net Losses being offset;

(c)

Third, to the Members, until the cumulative Net Profits allocated pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) are equal to the cumulative Net Losses, if any, previously allocated to the Members pursuant to Section 6.1(b) for all prior periods in proportion to the Members’ respective shares of the Net Losses being offset; and

(d)

Fourth, to the Members, in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

6.3

Special Allocations. Prior to making any allocations pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2, the following special allocations shall be made each Allocation Period, to the extent required, in the following order:

(a)

Minimum Gain Chargeback; Qualified Income Offset. Items of Company income and gain shall be allocated for any Allocation Period to the extent, and in an amount sufficient to satisfy the “minimum gain chargeback” requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and (i)(4) and the “qualified income offset” requirement of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3).

(b)

Member Nonrecourse Deductions and Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss associated with such deductions, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members pursuant to their respective Percentage Interests.

(c)

Certain Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Section 734(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the

5230180v8

basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4).

(d)

Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 6.3(a) through 6.3(c) and the last two sentences of Section 6.1 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 6.3(d). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.3 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction shall be made in whatever manner the Board determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 and Section 6.3(e). In making such allocations, the Board shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 6.3(a) that, although not yet made, are likely to be made in the future and offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Section 6.3(b).

(e)

Special Allocations Upon Liquidation of the Company. With respect to the Allocation Period in which occurs the final liquidation of the Company in accordance with Article IX or in which there is a Sale of the Company, if, after tentatively making all allocations pursuant to this Agreement other than this Section 6.3(e), the positive Capital Account balances of the Members do not equal the amounts that the Members would receive if all remaining Company assets were distributed to them pursuant to Section 5.1(b), then items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction for such Allocation Period shall be specially allocated among the Members pursuant to this Section 6.3(e) in such amounts and priorities as are necessary so that after making all allocations pursuant to this Article VI the positive Capital Account balances of the Members equal the amounts that would be so distributed to each of them. For purposes of this Section 6.3(e), a Member’s Capital Account balance shall be deemed to be increased for any amounts that such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and -2(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations. To the extent the allocations and adjustments described in this Section 6.3(e) are not sufficient to cause the Capital Accounts of each Members to equal the amount of the distributions such Member would receive pursuant to Section 5.1(b) assuming that this Section 6.3(e) were not part of the Agreement, then the Board may specially allocate items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction for prior Allocation Periods among the Members pursuant to this Section 6.3(e) in such amounts and priorities as are necessary so that after making all allocations pursuant to this Article VI the positive Capital Account balances of the Members equal the amounts that would be so distributed to each of them.

(f)

Taxable Issuances of Units. Any income, gain, loss, or deduction realized as a direct or indirect result of the issuance of any Units (the “Issuance Items”), shall be allocated among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such Issuance Items, together with all other allocations under this Agreement to each Member, shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Issuance Items had not been realized.

(g)

For purposes of determining the Members’ proportionate share of “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Treasury Regulations, their respective interests in Member profits shall be in the same percentage as their Percentage Interests.

6.4

Other Allocation Rules.

5230180v8

(a)

Tax/Book Differences. If the Gross Asset Value of any Company property, as determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d) or (f) and the definition of Gross Asset Value in Article XI, differs from the adjusted tax basis of such property, then allocations with respect to such property for income tax purposes shall be made in a manner which takes into consideration differences between such Gross Asset Value and such adjusted tax basis in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(4). Such allocations for income tax purposes shall be made using such method(s) permitted pursuant to such provisions which the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, selects. Such tax allocations shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profits, Net Losses or other items of income, gain, loss or deduction, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. Any allocations with respect to any such property for purposes of maintaining the Members’ Capital Accounts, and the determination of Net Profits and Net Losses, shall be made by reference to the Gross Asset Value of such property, and not its adjusted tax basis, all in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

(b)

Allocations of Items. Any allocation to a Member of Net Profits and Net Losses shall be treated as an allocation to such Member of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Profits and Net Losses. Unless otherwise specified herein to the contrary, any allocation to a Member of items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or item thereof) shall be treated as an allocation of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or item thereof).

(c)

Prohibition Against Retroactive Allocations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Member or Economic Interest Owner shall be allocated any income, loss or credit attributable to a period prior to his or its acquisition of a Unit. In the event that a Member or Economic Interest Owner Transfers all or a portion of his or its Unit(s), or if there is a reduction in a Member’s or Economic Interest Owner’s Percentage Interest due to the admission of new Members or Economic Interest Owners or otherwise, each Member’s and Economic Interest Owner’s share of Company items of income, loss, credit, etc., shall be determined by taking into account each Member’s and Economic Interest Owner’s varying Percentage Interests during the Allocation Period in accordance with Section 706 of the Code.

(d)

Consent and Tax Reporting. The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article VI and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article VI in reporting their Units of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.

6.5

Profits Interest Allocations. Pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5)(iii), the grant of a Class B Unit to an employee or independent contractor in connection with the performance of services for the Company is an event pursuant to which the Company may revalue assets to their fair market values. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Board may, immediately prior to the grant of any such Class B Unit, cause the Company to revalue its assets in the manner provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and adjust the existing Members’ Capital Accounts accordingly, and that the recipient shall not receive Capital Account credit in connection with the grant of a Class B Unit which is intended to be treated as a “profits interest”, except to the extent of the amounts, if any, paid for such Class B Unit. In the event the Company does not revalue its assets in the manner provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) immediately prior to the grant of any such Class B Unit, the Company may, upon consultation with its accountants, make subsequent special allocations of income or gains occurring after the relevant issuance of profits interests as if each issuance of profits interests had given rise to a valid election pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and as if the allocation of income or gains was subject to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i).

5230180v8

ARTICLE VII

The Board shall make or revoke any available election pursuant to the Code, including an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code (“Section 754 Election”). Each Member will upon request supply any information necessary to give proper effect to any and all such elections, and no Member shall take any action (other than a sale of Units permitted pursuant to this Agreement), which would cause the Company to forfeit the benefits of any tax election previously made or agreed to be made.

7.4

Tax Controversies. Good Times is hereby designated the Tax Matters Partner and is authorized and required to represent the Company with the advice of the Company’s tax advisors (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Company funds for professional services and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

Such Successor shall only be entitled to the allocations and distributions its Predecessor was entitled to receive under this Agreement.

8.2

Permitted Transfers.

(a)

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, a Member shall not be permitted to Transfer any of its Units unless such Transfer is approved, prior to such Transfer, by all of the Members (other than the Transferring Member), provided, however, a Class A Member may Transfer its Units to an Affiliate and, with respect to BDI only, any partners, limited partners, members, stockholders or direct or indirect beneficial owners of such Member or Affiliate, without the consent of the other Class A Members and without complying with Section 8.4 below; provided further that if a Transfer otherwise permitted pursuant to the foregoing proviso would result in ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, collectively, no longer controlling the collective vote of the Class A Units owned by BDI as of the date hereof, any such Transfer shall require the prior written consent of Good Times, not to be unreasonably withheld.

The transferee executes a written agreement, in the form and substance satisfactory to the Board, to assume all the duties and obligations of the Transferring Member under this Agreement and to be bound by and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(ii)

Except where waived by the Board, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Board, obtained by and at the expense of the Transferring Member or the transferee, that such assignment is subject to an effective registration under, or exemption from the registration requirements of, the applicable state and federal securities laws.

(iii)

The Company receives from the transferee the information and agreements that the Board may reasonably require including, but not limited to, the transferee’s notice address, taxpayer identification number and any other information that may be required by any taxing authority.

Except where waived by the Board, with respect to any Permitted Transfer described in the proviso of Section 8.2(a) above, the Transferring Member shall in all events remain jointly and severally liable with the transferee for all the obligations associated with the Units Transferred unless and until there is a Permitted Transfer of the Units which is not described in such proviso, and the Transferring Member shall enter into such agreements as shall be required by the Board to document such continuing obligation.

(d)

Except as otherwise set forth in this Article VIII, the Members effecting a Transfer pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall pay, or reimburse the Company for, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Transfer (including, without limitation, any costs or expenses for reasonable legal fees incurred by the Company in connection with the Transfer) on or before the 10^th day after receipt by that Person of the Company’s invoice for the amount due.

(e)

The provisions of this Article VIII shall be controlling with respect to any conflicting provision contained in any other agreement between or among the Company and any Member.

8.3

[Intentionally Omitted].

8.4

Right of First Offer.

(a)

Subject to Section 8.6 below, in the event that either Class A Member proposes to sell, directly or through an Affiliate, (i) its Units in the Company and/or, in the case of BDI only, a controlling interest in BDI itself or substantially all of BDI’s assets at any time on or after the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Effective Date and/or (ii) its interest in any Restaurant ((i) and/or (ii), as applicable, the “Offered Interest”), such Class A Member (the “Offering Member”) shall give the other Class A Member (the “Non-Offering Member”) written notice (the “Member Notice”) of the general price, terms and conditions of upon which the Offering Member desires to sell the Offered Interest. In the event that the Non-Offering Member would be interested in pursuing the acquisition of the Offered Interest, the Non-Offering Member shall give written notice to the Offering Member of such interest within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Member Notice. The Class A Members shall thereafter negotiate in good faith for a period of forty-five (45) days the terms of a proposed sale of the Offered Interest (the “Negotiation Period”). If the Class A Members are able to agree upon the terms of a transaction for the sale of the Offered Interest within the Negotiation Period, the closing shall occur within ninety (90) days following the date of the Member Notice. In the case of a sale of all of a Member’s Class A Units in the Company, such sale can be structured as a redemption by the Company if so desired by the Non-Offering Member.

5230180v8

(b)

In the event that the Class A Members are not able to agree upon the terms of a transaction for the sale of the Offered Interest within the Negotiation Period or the transaction fails to close within such 90-day period despite the good faith efforts of the parties, the Offering Member shall have the right to market and consummate the sale of the Offered Interest over the one hundred eighty (180) days following the last day of the Negotiation Period or such 90-day period, as applicable, upon such terms and conditions as the Offering Member and the proposed purchaser agree, so long as the purchase price is equal to at least ninety percent (90%) of the best offer by the Non-Offering Member during the Negotiation Period and on similar payment terms. In the event the Offering Member has not sold such Offered Interest within said 180-day period, the Non-Offering Member’s matching right pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall again be in effect.

(c)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Non-Offering Member’s right to acquire the Offering Member’s Offered Interest in any Restaurant shall be subordinate to the prior rights of the Company and/or the Offering Member’s partner(s) in such Restaurant to acquire such Offered Interest, and (ii) Good Times’ right to acquire a controlling interest in BDI shall be subordinate to any rights of the current members of BDI to acquire such Offered Interest.

8.5

Drag-Along Rights.

(a)

The Rights. In the event a proposed Sale of the Company or sale of all of the outstanding Units (either such transaction, a “Sale Transaction”) is approved pursuant to Section 3.4(d)(iii), then following transmittal of a written notice from the Board, all Class B Members shall cooperate in, and shall take all actions that the Board reasonably deems necessary or desirable to consummate the Sale Transaction, including, without limitation, (A) entering into an agreement requiring each Class B Member to sell all of its Class B Units and to make and/or agree to representations, indemnities, holdbacks, covenants and escrows; (B) reasonably cooperating in obtaining all consents and approvals of any applicable governmental authority reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate such Sale Transaction; and (C) voting all of their Class B Units having voting power to approve or adopt the Sale Transaction (the “Drag-Along”).

(b)

Conditions to Rights. The obligations of the Class B Members pursuant to this Section 8.5 are subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions, unless any one or more of such conditions are waived by the holders of at least a majority of the Class B Units held by the Class B Members:

(i)

Upon the consummation of the Sale Transaction, all holders of Units will receive, in respect of such Units, the same form and amount of consideration per Unit, subject to Section 5.1(b) above.

(ii)

No Class B Member shall be obligated to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with a consummated Sale Transaction, provided the foregoing shall not include (A) indirect costs incurred for the benefit of all Members of the Company or as a reduction of the aggregate consideration payable in connection with such Sale Transaction by the Company or the acquiring party, or (B) costs incurred by or on behalf of a Class B Member for his, her or its sole benefit, including attorneys’ fees and expenses.

(c)

Drag-Along Agent. In furtherance of the provisions of this Section 8.5, for so long as this Section 8.5 is in effect each of the Class B Members hereby grants to the Board a proxy (which shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and to be irrevocable) to vote the Units having voting power owned or controlled by such Class B Member and exercise any consent rights applicable thereto in favor of any such Sale Transaction as provided in this Section 8.5.

(d)

No Revocation. The agreements contained in this Section 8.5 are coupled with an interest and

5230180v8

except as provided in this Agreement may not be revoked or terminated during the term of this Agreement.

8.6

Forced Sale by BDI.

(a)

BDI Drag Along Rights. In the event a proposed Sale of the Company or sale of all of the outstanding Units (either such transaction, a “BDI Sale Transaction”) is approved by only the BDI Managers and BDI (assuming BDI then owns a Majority Interest) at any time commencing after the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Effective Date, then (following transmittal of a written notice to be provided by the Company to the Members other than BDI (the “Minority Members”)) all Minority Members shall cooperate in, and shall take all actions that the Board and/or BDI reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the BDI Sale Transaction, including, without limitation, (A) entering into agreements with third parties on terms substantially identical to, or no more favorable to the Minority Members than, those applicable to BDI (which agreements may require a Minority Member to sell all of its Units and to make and/or agree to representations, indemnities, holdbacks, covenants and escrows); (B) reasonably cooperating in obtaining all consents and approvals of any applicable governmental authority reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate such BDI Sale Transaction; and (C) voting all of their Units having voting power to approve or adopt the BDI Sale Transaction (the “BDI Drag-Along”).

(b)

Conditions to BDI Drag-Along. The obligations of the Members other than BDI pursuant to this Section 8.6 are subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions, unless any one or more of such conditions are waived by the holders of at least a majority of the Units held by the Members other than BDI (assuming for such purpose only that all such Units are voting):

(i)

Upon the consummation of the BDI Sale Transaction, all holders of Units will receive, in respect of such Units, the same form and amount of consideration per Unit, subject to Section 5.1(b) above.

(ii)

No other Member shall be obligated to incur any out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the BDI Sale Transaction, provided the foregoing shall not include costs incurred by or on behalf of another Member for his, her or its sole benefit, including attorneys’ fees and expenses.

(iii)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event BDI desires to initiate the BDI Drag-Along, the purchase price payable to Good Times upon the consummation of a BDI Sale Transaction shall be its pro rata portion of the proceeds from the BDI Sale Transaction payable in accordance with this Agreement, including Section 5.1(b) above; provided, however, within thirty (30) days following the date on which BDI informs Good Times that it intends to exercise the BDI Drag Along Right with respect to such BDI Sale Transaction, Good Times shall have the right to cause the Company to engage a qualified appraiser of recognized national or regional standing having substantial knowledge of the restaurant industry selected by Good Times with the approval of BDI, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (a “Qualified Appraiser”), to determine the fair market value of the Company in an arms’ length transaction with a third party using the then current industry standard valuation methodology for a franchise company of this type. The Qualified Appraiser shall deliver to BDI, Good Times and the Company its report setting forth the fair market value of Good Times’ Units (the “Appraisal Report”) within forty-five (45) days following its engagement. The costs of the Qualified Appraiser shall be paid by the Company. If the purchase price to be paid by the purchaser in the BDI Sale Transaction (the “Proposed Purchase Price”) is:

(A)

less than twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) and the Appraisal Report shows that the fair market value of the Company (after taking into account the same assumptions and adjustments as utilized in the underlying transaction documents (e.g., cash free/debt free transaction)) (the “Alternative Valuation”) is at least thirty-three

5230180v8

percent (33%) greater than the Proposed Purchase Price, then Good Times upon the closing of such BDI Sale Transaction shall be entitled to receive from the Proposed Purchase Price at the closing of such transaction an amount equal to its pro rata portion of the Alternative Valuation (less its pro rata portion of all costs, expenses and adjustments incurred in connection with or contemplated by such transaction); or

(B)

greater than or equal to twenty million dollars ($20,000,000), Good Times upon the consummation of a BDI Sale Transaction shall only be entitled to receive its pro rata portion of the proceeds from the BDI Sale Transaction payable in accordance with this Agreement, including Section 5.1(b) above.

For avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prohibit BDI from electing not to proceed with a BDI Sale Transaction following its receipt of the Appraisal Report.

(c)

Drag-Along Agent. In furtherance of the provisions of this Section 8.6, for so long as this Section 8.6 is in effect and only in the event that the required approvals set forth in Section 8.6(a) are satisfied, each of the Members hereby grants to BDI a proxy (which shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and to be irrevocable) to vote the Units having voting power owned or controlled by such Member and exercise any consent rights applicable thereto in favor of any such BDI Sale Transaction as provided in this Section 8.6.

(d)

No Revocation. The agreements contained in this Section 8.6 are coupled with an interest and except as provided in this Agreement may not be revoked or terminated during the term of this Agreement.

(e)

Good Times Tag-Along. In the event BDI elects to sell all or substantially all of its Class A Units and does not exercise the BDI Drag-Along, Good Times may elect to sell its Class A Units as part of such transaction, on a pro rata basis with BDI, by written notice to BDI given within ten (10) days after receiving written notice of BDI’s proposed sale (the “Good Times Tag Along”). Upon the consummation of such transaction, all holders of the transferred Units will receive, in respect of such Units, the same form and amount of consideration per Unit, subject to Sections 5.1(b) and 8.6(b)(iii) above; provided, however, the Class A Members recognize that the $20,000,000 target described above applies to a BDI Sales Transaction and if BDI has elected to sell substantially all of its Class A Units but not exercise the BDI Drag-Along, the $20,000,000 will be reduced pro rata based on the actual percentage of the total Class A Units proposed by BDI to be sold.

8.7

Additional Members. Additional Members shall be admitted to the Company upon the approval of the Board and a Majority Interest. Admission of any Person as a new Member shall be conditioned upon the Person making such Capital Contributions as the Board determines represents the fair market value of the Units being acquired as an additional Member and such Person executing, acknowledging, and delivering to the Company such instruments as the Board may deem necessary or advisable to effect the admission of such Person as an additional Member, including, without limitation, the written acceptance and adoption by such Person of the provisions of this Agreement. Upon such admission, the Percentage Interests of the Members shall be recalculated based on the Units then outstanding (including for this purpose the additional Units issued to the new Member). The Board shall notify all of the Members of their respective adjusted Percentage Interests as so determined simultaneous with the admission of any such additional Member.

8.8

No Appraisal Rights. No Member shall be entitled to any dissenter’s or appraisal rights with respect to such Member’s Units, including, without limitation, any rights set forth in the Act or any other applicable law, whether individually or as part of any class or group of Members, in the event of a Sale of the Company or other transaction involving the Company or its securities unless such rights are
