8. Proprietary Information.
Licensee acknowledges that, over the term of this Agreement, they are to receive proprietary information which Licensor has developed
over time at great expense, including, but not limited to, information regarding the Bricktown
Brewery® brew-pub and restaurant concept, methods of site selection, marketing and public relations methods,
product analysis and selection, recipes for preparing, cooking and serving food and beverages, and service methods and skills relating
to the development and operation of Bricktown Brewery®
brew-pub and restaurants. Licensee further acknowledge that this information, which includes, but is not necessarily limited to,
that contained in the manuals, is not generally known in the industry and is beyond its own present skills and experience, and
that to develop it themselves would be expensive, time consuming and difficult. Licensee further acknowledges that Licensor’s
information provides a competitive advantage and will be valuable to it in the development of their business, and that gaining
access to it is therefore a primary reason why they are entering into this Agreement. Accordingly, Licensee agrees that Licensor’s
information, as described above, which may or may not be “trade secrets” under prevailing judicial interpretations
or statutes, is private and valuable, and constitutes trade secrets belonging to Licensor; and in consideration of Licensor’s
confidential disclosure to them of these trade secrets, Licensee agrees that it will not communicate, divulge or use for the benefit
of any other person or entity any confidential information, knowledge or know-how concerning the methods of development or operation
of a restaurant utilizing the Bricktown Brewery®
brew-pub and restaurant concept or system. Licensee agrees that the provisions of this Section 8 are and have been a primary
inducement to Licensor to enter into this Agreement, and that, in the event of breach thereof, Licensor would be irreparably injured
and would be without adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in the event of a breach, or a threatened or attempted breach, of any of
such provisions, Licensor shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies which it may have hereunder or in law or in equity
(including without limitation the right to terminate this Agreement), to a preliminary and/or permanent injunction and a decree
for specific performance of the terms hereof without the necessity of showing actual or threatened damage, and without being required
to furnish a bond or other security.

indemnify and hold Licensee harmless against any and all such claims, demands or lawsuits alleging infringement, as a result of
Licensee’s manufacture, marketing, distribution or sale of the Goods. Licensee agrees to promptly notify Licensor of its
receipt of any notice of any such claim, demand or lawsuit, and Licensor agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to promptly assume
Licensee’s defense of any such claim, demand or lawsuit, with legal counsel satisfactory to Licensee. Licensor acknowledges
and agrees that Licensee in its sole discretion may elect to actively participate in the defense of any third party infringement
action. Licensor further agrees that settlement of any third party infringement action will not proceed absent the written agreement
and approval of Licensee.


 


10. Trademark Maintenance.

in place with respect to the Property, and shall keep Licensee fully and promptly informed of any changes to any such patents,
copyrights and trademarks, specifically including any lapses or termination of any such patents, copyrights and trademarks.

partner, employee, or servant of the other for any purpose whatsoever. Licensee is an independent contractor and not authorized
