(6)         DEVELOPER shall duly and timely perform all of the terms, conditions, covenants and obligations imposed upon him under the lease.

(7)         The JOHNNY ROCKETS Restaurant at the site shall be constructed and improved pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

Reference is made to the provisions of said agreements and to the articles and bylaws of this corporation."

(e)         Copies of transferee corporation's articles of incorporation or organization, as applicable, bylaws, operating agreement and other governing documents, as applicable, including the resolutions of the Board of Directors or Manger(s), as applicable, authorizing entry into or assumption of this Agreement, shall be promptly furnished to LICENSOR; and

(f)         The name of transferee corporation or limited liability company shall not consist of or contain the Marks or any colorable variation thereof or any other mark in which LICENSOR, its parent or affiliates has or claims a proprietary interest, without LICENSOR'S prior written approval.

C.         LICENSOR'S Right of First Refusal

(1)         If DEVELOPER or its owners shall at any time decide to undertake any Transfer requiring LICENSOR'S consent pursuant to Section 9.B., DEVELOPER or its owners shall first obtain a bona fide, executed, written offer from a responsible and fully disclosed purchaser and shall submit an exact copy of such offer to LICENSOR. LICENSOR shall have the option, exercisable within thirty (30) days after receipt of such offer, or if LICENSOR requires further information, within thirty (30) days after LICENSOR receives such further information from DEVELOPER, to purchase the same interests for the price and on the terms and conditions of the proposed sale as set forth in the offer submitted. If the offer received by DEVELOPER involves assets in addition to this Agreement, DEVELOPER'S JOHNNY ROCKETS Restaurants, and DEVELOPER'S License Agreements for licensed JOHNNY ROCKETS Restaurants, the offer to LICENSOR shall state the cash value of that portion of the offer received by DEVELOPER related to those agreements and restaurants and LICENSOR or its designee may exercise its purchase option by paying that cash value. The written offer shall specify the name and address of the proposed transferee, shall enclose a completed license application form from the proposed transferee, shall enclose proof of the proposed transferee's financial ability to complete the purchase, shall set forth the price, terms, conditions and date and place of closing of the proposed sale and shall enclose copies of all offer and/or sales documents reflecting the terms of such proposed sale.

(2)         If the offer received by DEVELOPER provides for payment of consideration other than cash or it involves intangible benefits, LICENSOR or its designee may elect to purchase the interest proposed to be sold for the reasonable equivalent in cash. If the parties are unable to agree within 30 days on the reasonable equivalent in cash of the non-cash part of the offer received by DEVELOPER or the cash value of that portion of the offer received by DEVELOPER relating to this Agreement and DEVELOPER'S JOHNNY ROCKETS Restaurants, this amount shall be determined by two professionally certified appraisers, DEVELOPER selecting one and LICENSOR or its designee selecting one. If the amounts set by the two appraisers differ by more than 10%, the two appraisers shall select a third professionally certified appraiser who also shall determine the reasonable equivalent in cash of the non-cash part of the offer received by DEVELOPER. The average value set by the appraisers (whether two or three appraisers as the case may be) shall be conclusive and LICENSOR or its designee may exercise its right of first refusal within 60 days after being advised in writing of the decision of the appraisers. The cost of the appraisers shall be shared equally by the parties.

(3)         Should LICENSOR not exercise this right and should the contemplated sale not be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days after LICENSOR has failed to exercise its option, or should the terms and conditions thereof be altered in any way, this right of first refusal shall be reinstated and any subsequent proposed sale, or the altered terms and conditions of the current transaction, must again be offered to LICENSOR in accordance with this Section 9.C.

(4)         If a contemplated Transfer would have the effect of assigning more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the capital stock of a corporate licensee, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the membership interests of a limited liability company licensee, or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of partnership interests of a partnership licensee, LICENSOR shall have the option to purchase not only the interests being transferred but also the remaining interests so that its ownership will be one hundred percent (100%) of such capital stock, membership interests, or partnership interests. Any purchase of

such remaining interests shall be valued on a basis proportionate to the price of the interests initially being offered.

D.        Death or Disability of Developer

(1)        Notwithstanding Sections 9.B. and 9.C. of this Agreement, a Transfer to the heirs, surviving spouse, conservators or personal or other legal representative of DEVELOPER (collectively, "Successor Transferees") upon the death or permanent disability of DEVELOPER or of a partner or shareholder owning more than twenty-five percent (25%) equity interest in DEVELOPER shall not be subject to LICENSOR'S right of first refusal or right to terminate for failure to obtain written approval, so long as the Successor Transferee: (a) within thirty (30) days of such death or permanent disability, satisfies LICENSOR, that he is qualified to act as a developer pursuant to this Section 9 and is approved in writing by LICENSOR, or retains an individual or entity to develop the JOHNNY ROCKETS Restaurants who is so qualified and who is approved in writing by LICENSOR; and (b) performs all other applicable acts required under Section 9.B.

(2)         Any subsequent sale or other Transfer by a Successor Transferee shall be subject to LICENSOR's right of written approval set forth in Section 9 .B. and the right of first refusal in favor of LICENSOR set forth in Section 9.C. A Transfer to a Successor Transferee shall not require the payment of the Transfer Fee.

(3)         In the event LICENSOR does not approve the qualifications of any heir or beneficiary of DEVELOPER to develop JOHNNY ROCKETS Restaurants, the executor or administrator of DEVELOPER'S estate shall have a period of ninety (90) days following the date of such written disapproval to Transfer this Agreement to a Successor Transferee acceptable to LICENSOR, subject to the provisions of Section 9.C. of this Agreement. If such a sale is not concluded within that period, LICENSOR may terminate this Agreement.

10. NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION, TRADE SECRETS

A.         In Term Competition

During the Term of this Agreement, neither DEVELOPER nor any of its Owners, officers, or directors (or similar executives) shall directly or indirectly engage or be financially involved in (except for operation by DEVELOPER of JOHNNY ROCKETS Restaurants or ownership of not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock, voting and nonvoting, of a corporation, the stock of which is traded on a national securities exchange), or be employed by any business which sells hamburgers, chili, malts or related products as a significant aspect of its operation.

B.          Post-Term Competition

For two (2) years following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, or upon the Transfer of this Agreement, neither DEVELOPER nor its Owners, officers or directors (or similar executives) shall directly or indirectly engage or be financially involved in (except for operation by DEVELOPER of JOHNNY ROCKETS Restaurants or ownership of not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock, voting and non-voting, of a corporation, the stock of which is traded on a national securities exchange), or be employed by any business which sells hamburgers, chili, malts or related products as a

significant aspect of its operation: (1) within the Development Area; (2) within the county in which any JOHNNY ROCKETS Restaurant operated by DEVELOPER is located, or (3) within an area within 10 miles from the location of any then existing JOHNNY ROCKETS Restaurant, without LICENSOR'S prior written consent. In applying for such consent, DEVELOPER will have the burden of establishing that any such activity by it will not involve the use of benefits provided under this Agreement or constitute unfair competition with LICENSOR or other franchisees or area developers of LICENSOR.

C.          Modification

The parties have attempted in Section 10.B. above to limit DEVELOPER'S right to compete only to the extent necessary to protect LICENSOR from unfair competition. The parties hereby expressly agree that if the scope or enforceability of Section 10.B. is disputed at any time by DEVELOPER, a court or arbitrator, as the case may be, may modify either or both of such provisions to the extent that it deems necessary to make such provision(s) enforceable under applicable law. In addition, LICENSOR reserves the right to reduce the scope of either, or both, of said provisions without DEVELOPER'S consent, at any time or times, effective immediately upon notice to DEVELOPER.

D.         Employees of LICENSOR

DEVELOPER shall not interfere with the employees and agents of LICENSOR in the performance of such employees' and agents' duties. DEVELOPER further agrees that during the Term of this Agreement, and for one (1) year thereafter, it will not employ or seek to employ any of LICENSOR'S employees or agents, any employees or agents of LICENSOR'S parent or affiliates, or any of LICENSOR'S licensees, for a period of at least one (1) year following the separation of any such employee from employment by LICENSOR or its parent or affiliates or the termination of an agency relationship with LICENSOR, its parent or affiliate, nor shall DEVELOPER induce, contract or solicit in any manner whatsoever any such employee or agent during such period to leave such employment or affiliation.

In addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein and at law or in equity, and not in lieu thereof, in the event DEVELOPER violates the provisions of this Section 10.D., DEVELOPER shall pay to LICENSOR the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). Said payment shall be required only if DEVELOPER knew that the employee was or had been employed by LICENSOR, LICENSOR'S parent or affiliates, or one of LICENSOR'S licensees. DEVELOPER acknowledges that LICENSOR, LICENSOR'S parent, affiliates and other licensees have expended a substantial amount of time and money in the selection and training of their respective employees and agents and that LICENSOR, LICENSOR'S parent, affiliates or other licensees would suffer substantial loss and damage in the event DEVELOPER violates such provisions. DEVELOPER further agrees and acknowledges that this provision and the payment described herein is therefore reasonable under the circumstances existing as of the date of this Agreement.

E.          Trade Secrets

(1) LICENSOR possesses and continues to develop, and during the course of the relationship established hereunder, DEVELOPER shall have access to, proprietary and confidential information, including, recipes, secret ingredients, specifications, procedures, concepts and methods and techniques of developing, marketing and operating JOHNNY ROCKETS Restaurants, restaurants and

other retail outlets featuring the sale of hamburgers, chili, malts, and related products ("Trade Secrets"). Certain of the Trade Secrets may be disclosed to DEVELOPER in the Manuals, bulletins, supplements, confidential correspondence, or other confidential communications, and through LICENSOR'S training program and other guidance and management assistance, and in performing LICENSOR'S other obligations and exercising LICENSOR'S rights under this Agreement. "Trade Secrets" shall not include information which: (a) has entered the public domain or was known to DEVELOPER prior to LICENSOR'S disclosure of such information to DEVELOPER, other than by the breach of an obligation of confidentiality owed (by anyone) to LICENSOR; (b) becomes known to DEVELOPER from a source other than LICENSOR and other than by the breach of an obligation of confidentiality owed (by anyone) to LICENSOR; or (c) was independently developed by DEVELOPER without the use or benefit of LICENSOR'S Trade Secrets. The burden of proving the applicability of the foregoing will reside with DEVELOPER.

(2)         DEVELOPER shall acquire no interest in the Trade Secrets other than the right to use them in connection with the development of JOHNNY ROCKETS Restaurants pursuant to this Agreement. DEVELOPER'S duplication or use of the Trade Secrets in any other endeavor or business shall constitute an unfair method of competition. DEVELOPER shall: (a) not use the Trade Secrets in any business or other endeavor other than in connection with such JOHNNY ROCKETS Restaurants;

(b) maintain absolute confidentiality of the Trade Secrets during and after this Agreement's term;

(c) make no unauthorized copy of any portion of the Trade Secrets, including all or any part of the Manuals, bulletins, supplements, confidential correspondence, or other confidential communications, whether written or oral; and (d) operate and implement all reasonable procedures prescribed from time to time by LICENSOR to prevent unauthorized use and disclosure of the Trade Secrets, including restrictions limiting disclosure to certain employees and use of non-disclosure and non-competition provisions as LICENSOR prescribes in employment agreements with employees who may have access to the Trade Secrets. Promptly upon LICENSOR'S request, DEVELOPER shall deliver executed copies of such agreements to LICENSOR. The provisions of this Section 10.E. shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other confidentiality obligation of DEVELOPER, or any other person, whether pursuant to another agreement, or pursuant to applicable law.

(3)         For purposes of this Section 10.E. only, "DEVELOPER" shall mean and include the individual DEVELOPER, DEVELOPER'S spouse and minor children and its Owners, officers and directors if DEVELOPER is a Business Entity, and DEVELOPER shall, except as LICENSOR may otherwise agree, cause each such person to acknowledge and agree to be bound by the provisions this Section 10.E. The provisions of this Section 10.E. shall not limit, restrain or otherwise affect any right or cause of action which may accrue to LICENSOR for any infringement of, violation of, or interference with, this Agreement, or LICENSOR'S Marks, System, trade secrets, or any other proprietary aspects of LICENSOR'S business.

11. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

DEVELOPER is and shall be an independent contractor. Neither DEVELOPER nor any employee or agent of DEVELOPER shall be deemed to be an employee, commercial agent or agent of any kind, of LICENSOR. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed so as to create a partnership, joint venture, commercial or other agency, and neither party to this Agreement shall be liable for the debts or obligations of the other. Since DEVELOPER acknowledges that it is an independent contractor and not an agent, DEVELOPER shall not at any time attempt in any way to register this

(2)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any breach or defect cannot be cured within the applicable time period, this Agreement shall not be deemed terminated if DEVELOPER shall give LICENSOR written notice of such fact and commence the cure of such breach or defect within the applicable time period and diligently prosecute such cure to completion. LICENSOR shall have the right to reject any such notice if, in LICENSOR'S reasonable judgment, the breach or defect specified is capable of being cured within the applicable period.

(3)         DEVELOPER acknowledges and agrees that complete performance of all the terms of this Agreement is necessary for the protection of LICENSOR, the System and the Marks and that complete and exact performance by DEVELOPER of each of his promises contained herein is a condition to the continuance of this license.
