ARTICLE 3
 GRANT

 

(1)                                 From the Effective Date until the Expiry Date, BK hereby grants the Developer the right and license to develop and, subject to the substantial satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to operate Outlets as franchisee (or require franchises to be granted to a Controlled Subsidiary) within the Territory upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the right (including sublicensing rights) and license in the Territory to grant Sub-franchises in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  BK, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, also hereby grants the Developer the right and license to use and display (and permit Sub-franchises to use and display pursuant to a sublicense) the Burger King Marks and the Burger King System in connection with the operation of Outlets in the Territory.  All of these rights are exclusive other than in respect of the Georgia and Macedonia Territory, subject to Article 3(3) and Article 3(5) below.  The rights described in this Article 3(1), including the right in the Territory to grant sub-franchises in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, are hereinafter referred to as the “Development Rights”.

 

7

 

(2)                                 BK represents that it holds the right to grant and license the Development Rights in the Territory.

 

(3)                                 Specifically excluded from this grant are established present or future U.S. military establishments, including their adjacent housing areas and support areas located in the Territory.

 

(4)                                 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the term of this Agreement will be from the Effective Date until the Expiry Date, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(5)                                 BK shall have the right to license any third parties (“Interested Third Parties”) to develop, subfranchise and/or operate Restaurants in Georgia (the “Georgia Development Rights”) and the Republic of Macedonia (the “Macedonia Development Rights”), subject to the following right of first offer, which shall be available to Developer from the Effective Date until the termination of this Agreement (the “ROFO Period”), on the following terms and conditions:

 

(i)            BK shall not grant the Georgia Development Rights or the Macedonia Development Rights during the ROFO Period to any Interested Third Parties unless and until BK shall have first offered in writing exclusive Georgia Development Rights or exclusive Macedonia Development Rights, as applicable, to the Developer in accordance with this Agreement (collectively, the “Right of First Offer”), provided that the Developer is, and has been at all times, in compliance with the Total Restaurant Count Targets set forth in Article 4(1) of this Agreement from the Effective Date to the date of such offer (the “Offer Date”), provided further that for such purposes the Developer will not be treated as being or having been in non-compliance with the Total Restaurant Count Targets if (x) the Developer rectifies its failure to achieve a Total Restaurant Count Target within the Development Cure Period in respect thereof, or (y) a Total Restaurant Count Target has not been achieved but the Cure Period in respect thereof has not lapsed;

 

(ii)           the Developer shall have a period of two months following the Offer Date (the “ROFO Deadline”) to present a binding offer to BK (the “Proposal”) for the acquisition of the exclusive Georgia Development Rights and/or exclusive Macedonia Development Rights, as applicable;

 

(iii)          the Proposal shall be in writing and set forth the financial and other material terms and conditions for the exclusive Georgia Development Rights and/or exclusive Macedonia Development Rights, as applicable, including, without limitation, a development schedule setting forth the proposed restaurant openings.  The failure by the Developer to make a Proposal by the ROFO Deadline shall be deemed an irrevocable waiver by the Developer of the relevant Right of First Offer;

 

(iv)          if BK elects to grant the exclusive Georgia Development Rights and/or exclusive Macedonia Development Rights, as the case may be, to the Developer following

 

8

 

receipt of the Proposal, the Proposal, as may be modified by the parties through their negotiations (the “Final Proposal”), will become binding and enforceable against the Developer, and BK, the Developer and TFI will enter into an amendment to this Agreement (the “ROFO Amendment”), which ROFO Amendment will incorporate the commercial terms set forth in the Final Proposal, including, without limitation, the agreed upon development schedule;

 

(v)           if (i) BK elects not to grant the exclusive Georgia Development Rights or the exclusive Macedonia Development Rights, as applicable, to the Developer following receipt of the Proposal, (ii) the Developer fails to submit the Proposal within the ROFO Deadline, or (iii) the Parties fail to sign the ROFO Amendment within 30 days of the ROFO Deadline, as the case may be, BK shall have the ability to grant such development rights (on either an exclusive or non-exclusive basis) to an Interested Third Party, provided that BK shall only be entitled to grant the Georgia Development Rights and/or Macedonia Development Rights, as applicable, on terms and conditions, including financial terms, which are more favorable than those offered by the Developer in the Proposal;

 

(vi)          if BK does not grant the Georgia Development Rights or Macedonia Development Rights to an Interested Third Party within one year following the ROFO Deadline, BK shall again be obligated to comply with the Right of First Offer if BK later decides to grant the Georgia Development Rights or Macedonia Development Rights during the ROFO Period; and

 

(vii)         if the Developer has not been in compliance with the Total Restaurant Count Targets set forth in Article 4(1) of this Agreement at all times from the Effective Date to the Offer Date, BK shall have no obligation to comply with the foregoing Right of First Offer whether in relation to the Georgia Development Rights or the Macedonia Development Rights, provided that for such purposes the Developer will not be treated as having been in non-compliance with the Total Restaurant Count Targets if (x) the Developer rectifies its failure to achieve a Total Restaurant Count Target within the Cure Period in respect thereof, or (y) a Total Restaurant Count Target has not been achieved but the Development Cure Period in respect thereof has not lapsed.

 

ARTICLE 4
  DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE

 

(1)                                 The Developer shall develop and open for business, or cause a Controlled Subsidiary and/or Sub-franchisees to develop and open for business, a number of Restaurants, such that the total number of Restaurants built, open and operating, on a cumulative basis, in the Turkey Territory, by the end of the following Years (the “Total Restaurant Count Target”) shall be in accordance with the following schedule (the “Development Schedule”).  For the avoidance of doubt, Restaurants opened prior to the Effective Date will be included in determining whether the Total Restaurant Count Target has been achieved.

 

9

 

(This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.)

 

Each of the Total Restaurant Count Targets set forth in the Development Schedule is net of closures, without distinction as to the reason for such closure (expiration, early termination or otherwise); and without distinction between closures of Restaurants operated by the Developer and its Controlled Subsidiaries (i.e., Company Outlets) or Restaurants operated by Sub-franchisees (i.e., Sub-franchised Outlets).

 

(2)                                 The Developer’s failure to achieve the applicable Total Restaurant Count Target by having the required number of Restaurants built, open and operating in the Turkey Territory on 31 December of the relevant Year as set forth in the Development Schedule shall constitute a failure to comply with the Development Schedule and this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Article 29.

 

(3)                                 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, BK’s sole alternative remedies for the Developer’s failure to achieve the applicable Total Restaurant Count Target on 31 December of the relevant Year as set forth in the Development Schedule (such Year, a “Shortfall Year”), shall be (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.) (b) BK’s right to serve notice on the Developer (the “Exclusivity Termination Notice”), whereby the rights granted pursuant to Article 3 shall become non-exclusive from the date which is 90 days following the date of the Exclusivity Termination Notice, subject to the next sentence.  If the Developer rectifies its failure to achieve the applicable Total Restaurant Count Target within such 90 day period (such period, the “Development Cure Period”), the Exclusivity Termination Notice will be deemed to be withdrawn immediately upon such rectification.  Otherwise, following the Development Cure Period, BK may introduce new franchisees or may itself develop Restaurants in the Turkey Territory.  For the sake of clarity, (x) the Developer’s failure to achieve the Total Restaurant Count Target on 31 December of the relevant Shortfall Year or following the delivery of an Exclusivity Termination Notice or the lapse of the Cure Period without the applicable Total Restaurant Count Target having been achieved shall not, in and of itself, constitute grounds for termination of this Agreement, and (y) BK may exercise one (but not both) of the alternative remedies set forth above in respect of the relevant Shortfall Year.

 

(4)                                 If Developer opens any Restaurant that does not comply with the specifications set out in the definition of that term, such Restaurant shall not count towards compliance with the Total Restaurant Count Targets for so long as it remains non-compliant (and, should it become compliant with such specifications, it will count towards compliance with the Total Restaurant Count Target for the Year in which it so becomes compliant).

 

(5)                                 The Developer may (subject to the necessary approvals as provided in this Agreement) open mobile units; provided, however, that mobile units shall not under any circumstances count towards compliance with the Total Restaurant Count Targets required by this Article.

 

10

 

(6)                                 The Parties believe that a ratio of (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.) between Company Outlets on the one hand versus Sub-franchised Outlets on the other hand is appropriate.  The ratio may not be reduced below (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.) unless mutually agreed by the Parties.  If the Developer is able to demonstrate the commercial viability for itself and the Sub-franchisees of increasing the extent of the Sub-franchised Outlets beyond this ratio, BK shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such increase.

 

(7)                                 If delay in opening a particular Restaurant or complying with the required number of openings is caused by an event of Force Majeure, the Developer shall notify BK accordingly, and the Parties shall, after examining the facts, amend the required opening date for the Restaurant(s) and/or decrease the required number of Restaurant(s) for purposes of this Article 4 as may be reasonably required in light of such delay.

ARTICLE 7
 COMMERCIAL TERMS

 

(1)                                 Subject to the other provisions of this Article, the franchise fee payable by the Developer to BK in respect of each Outlet (other than a mobile unit) opened pursuant to this Agreement shall be (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.), whether the Outlet is intended to be owned and operated by the Developer, a Controlled Subsidiary or a Sub-franchisee and, in respect of Outlets that are mobile units, the fee shall be (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.) (the applicable amount, the “Franchise Fee”).  The Franchise Fee for any Outlet opened in the Territory (in respect of the Turkey Territory, in excess of 40 during any Year (and therefore not included in the Annual Franchise Fee Amount)) shall be paid at least seven days prior to the opening date of the relevant Outlet.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Developer requests that BK apply a Franchise Fee Credit with respect to a closed Outlet to the Franchise Fee due and payable with respect to the opening of a new Outlet, the Franchise Agreement for the new Outlet shall always have a term of 20 years, and the Developer shall pay BK a prorated Franchise Fee for the new Outlet equal (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.)

 

(2)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each Year following the Effective Date, commencing with Year 2018, the Developer shall pay BK or its designee an aggregate amount equal to

 

11

 

US$800,000 (the “Annual Franchise Fee Amount”) by no later than the tenth Business Day of the relevant Year (or, in the case of Year 2018, by no later than the tenth Business Day following the Effective Date), such amount being a prepayment of the Franchise Fees due for 40 Restaurants in the Turkey Territory to be opened that Year.  If, at the end of:

 

(i)            any Year (other than the Years 2021, 2024, 2027 and 2030), the Developer has not opened at least 40 Restaurants in the Territory by the end of such Year, an amount equal to the portion of the Annual Franchise Fee Amount in respect of the difference between 40 Restaurants and the number of Restaurants that were opened during such Year (without taking into account the Development Cure Period) shall be credited against the Annual Franchise Fee Amount due for the following Year; and

 

(ii)           the Years 2021, 2024, 2027 and 2030, the Developer has not achieved the applicable Total Restaurant Count Target for any reason other than an event of Force Majeure by the end of such Year (without taking into account the Development Cure Period), the applicable portion of the Annual Franchise Fee Amount in respect of the number of Restaurants that were not opened in order to achieve the Total Restaurant Count Target for that Year shall be retained by BK as liquidated damages for the Developer’s failure to achieve the relevant Total Restaurant Count Target, in addition to BK’s other rights and remedies hereunder.  (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.) shall be retained by BK as liquidated damages, in addition to BK’s other rights and remedies hereunder.  The failure to pay the Annual Franchise Fee Amount when due shall constitute an event of default hereunder.

 

(3)                                 Subject to the other provisions of this Article, including Article 7A, monthly royalties payable by the Developer and by all Controlled Subsidiaries for all Company Outlets (including Company Outlets that were previously operated by a Sub-franchisee as a Sub-franchised Outlet and purchased by the Developer or a Controlled Subsidiary) pursuant to the terms of each relevant Franchise Agreement (including renewals thereof) shall be at the rate of 4% of monthly Gross Sales (as defined in the relevant Franchise Agreement between BK and the Developer) at each Company Outlet.  In the case of Sub-franchised Outlets opened on or prior to the Effective Date, or which having been opened and operated on or prior to the Effective Date by the Developer or a Controlled Subsidiary are subsequently operated by a Sub-franchisee prior to the Effective Date (the “Existing Sub-franchised Outlets”), the monthly royalty payable by the Developer to BK for each Existing Sub-franchised Outlet shall be 3% of monthly Gross Sales (as defined in the relevant Franchise Agreement between BK and the Developer) of such Existing Sub-franchised Outlet until the expiration of the term of the relevant Franchise Agreement.  For (a) all Sub-franchised Outlets opened after the Effective Date, (b) all Sub-franchised Outlets acquired by a Sub-franchisee after the Effective Date that were previously

 

12

 

operated as a Company Outlet by the Developer or a Controlled Subsidiary, and (c) all renewals of Existing Sub-franchised Outlets, the monthly royalty payable by the Developer to BK shall be 3.5% of monthly Gross Sales (as defined in the relevant Franchise Agreement between BK and the Developer) at such Sub-franchised Outlet.  The Developer shall pay the royalties for Sub-franchised Outlets to BK or its designee whether or not the Developer charges or collects such royalties from the Sub-franchisees.

 

(4)                                 If, at the end of Year 2021, 2024, 2027 or 2030, the Developer has not achieved the applicable Total Restaurant Count Target for any reason other than an event of Force Majeure and BK has not served an Exclusivity Termination Notice in respect thereof, BK shall have the option (as an alternative, but not in addition, to serving an Exclusivity Termination Notice) to require that, effective as of January 1st of the Year following the Shortfall Year, the monthly royalty payable by the Developer and the Controlled Subsidiaries to BK or its designee for the Company Outlets opened (a) during the period of (i) four years preceding the end of Year 2021 and (ii) three years preceding the end of the relevant Year 2024, 2027 or 2030, and (b) thereafter (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.)  For the avoidance of doubt, the Company Outlets opened to rectify the Developer’s failure to achieve a Total Restaurant Count Target do not count towards achievement for any other Total Restaurant Count Target.

 

ARTICLE 7A

REMODEL OBLIGATIONS

 

(1)                                 Annex 6 identifies all of the Restaurants that the Developer has agreed to remodel on or before the expiration of the Remodel Period, provided, in each case, that the relevant Restaurant is open and operating at the expiration of the Remodel Period (the “Remodel Restaurants”).  Of the total number of Remodel Restaurants, 253 are Company Outlets and 127 are Sub-franchised Outlets.  Of the Remodel Restaurants that are Company Outlets, 155 are ‘20/20 Image’ restaurants and 98 are ‘Americana Image’ restaurants.  Of the Remodel Restaurants that are Sub-franchised Outlets, 95 are ‘20/20 Image’ restaurants and 32 are ‘Americana Image’ restaurants.

(3)                                 With respect to each Remodel Restaurant, the Developer shall provide BK with a proposed scope of work and other details as reasonably requested by BK.  The scope of work and other details for each Restaurant approved or deemed approved by BK and the Developer in accordance with this Article is the “Scope of Work”.  BK, acting reasonably, will either approve or amend (so as to comply with the Remodel

 

13

 

Requirements only) the Scope of Work in writing within 30 days after receipt thereof.  Upon submission of the revised Scope of Work to the Developer, the Scope of Work shall become final and binding upon the Developer.  Where no response is submitted by BK within the 30 day period, the Scope of Work shall be deemed approved by BK.

 

(4)                                 The Developer shall remodel, or shall cause its Controlled Subsidiaries and use best efforts to cause its Sub-franchisees to remodel, each of the Remodel Restaurants (a) in compliance with Article 7A(2), (b) in accordance with the approved Scope of Work, and (c) in compliance with applicable laws (collectively, the “Remodel Requirements”).  In addition, the Developer shall use, and shall cause its Controlled Subsidiaries and use best efforts to cause its Sub-franchisees to use, only such equipment, furnishings, signage and other materials in connection with the Completion of a Remodel Restaurant that satisfy the then current BK standards in all material respects.  The Developer shall be responsible for all costs, expenses and other fees associated with the Completion of the Remodel Requirements.

 

(5)                                 Upon Completion of a Remodel Restaurant that is a Company Outlet:  (a) BK and the Developer (and/or the applicable Controlled Subsidiary) shall enter into a new 20-year Franchise Agreement for the Remodel Restaurant; (b) the Developer shall pay the Remodel Franchise Fee to BK or its designee for the new 20-year term, as set forth in Article 7A(7) below; (c) the royalty rate for the Remodel Restaurant shall be reduced by 0.6% for a period of five years, commencing on the first day of the month following such Completion (the “Applicable Period”); and (d) the Advertising Contribution shall be reduced by 0.2% for the Applicable Period.

 

(6)                                 Upon Completion of a Remodel Restaurant that is a Sub-franchised Outlet (other than a Remodel Restaurant that becomes a Sub-franchised Outlet after the Effective Date):  (a) the royalty rate for the Remodel Restaurant shall be reduced by 0.6% to 2.4% of monthly Gross Sales (as defined in the relevant Sub-franchise Agreement) for the Applicable Period; provided, however, that if the Sub-franchise Agreement for the Remodel Restaurant expires prior to the end of the Applicable Period, the royalty rate shall increase by 0.5% to 2.9% of monthly Gross Sales for the remainder of the Applicable Period and thereafter the Royalty Rate shall increase to 3.5% of monthly Gross Sales, at such Sub-franchised Outlet; and (b) the Advertising Contribution shall be reduced by 0.2% for the Applicable Period.  Upon Completion of a Remodel Restaurant that becomes a Sub-franchised Outlet after the Effective Date, (a) the royalty rate for the Remodel Restaurant shall be reduced by 0.6% to 2.9% of monthly Gross Sales (as defined in the relevant Sub-franchise Agreement) for the Applicable Period, and (b) the Advertising Contribution shall be reduced by 0.2% for the Applicable Period.

 

(7)                                 For the purposes of this Article 7A, the “Remodel Franchise Fee” means the Franchise Fee of (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.)  minus an amount equal to the portion of the Franchise Fee originally paid (in respect of the relevant Restaurant) for the number of months remaining of the term of the existing Franchise Agreement of such Restaurant (rounded to the nearest month) (the “Franchise Fee Credit”).

 

14

 

(8)                                 For a period of seven years following the date of Completion of a Remodel Restaurant, BK cannot request a further remodel, or other change to the interior and/or exterior (except as otherwise provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), of such Remodel Restaurant.  The Developer agrees to remodel the Company Outlets in the Territory every seven years during the term of a 20-year Franchise Agreement.

 

(9)                                 If the Developer or the applicable Controlled Subsidiary or Sub-franchisee fails to reach Completion of any Remodel Restaurant (a “Defaulted Remodel Restaurant”) by the expiration of the Remodel Period, the royalty fee payable to BK for such Defaulted Remodel Restaurant shall increase to 5.0% of Gross Sales, commencing on the first day of the month following the expiration of the Remodel Period and continuing until the Completion of the Remodel Restaurant; provided, however, that if at the expiration of the Remodel Period (i) there are no Defaulted Remodel Restaurants that are Company Outlets, (ii) there are Defaulted Remodel Restaurants that are Sub-franchised Outlets, and (iii) Completion has been achieved in respect of at least 80% of the Remodel Restaurants, including all Remodel Restaurants that are Company Outlets, then, for a period of six months following the expiration of the Remodel Period (the “Remodel Cure Period”), the (x) relevant Sub-franchisees shall each have the right to cure such failure by achieving Completion of the Defaulted Remodel Restaurants, and (y) in lieu of such a cure of a Defaulted Remodel Restaurant by a Sub-franchisee, the Developer shall have the right to cure by remodelling a Company Outlet that is not a Remodel Restaurant instead (in accordance with the requirements at (2) through (4) above).  In the case of each Defaulted Remodel Restaurant that is so cured prior to the expiration of the Remodel Cure Period, no increase in the royalty fee payable to BK for such Defaulted Remodel Restaurant pursuant to this Article 7A(9) shall apply.

 

ARTICLE 8
 DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURE

 

(1)                                 This Agreement is not a franchise for the operation of Burger King Outlets, but is intended by the Parties to set forth the terms and conditions which, if fully satisfied, entitle the Developer to individual franchises for each Outlet to be developed under this Agreement, and to call for franchises to be granted to Controlled Subsidiaries, and further entitles the Developer to grant sub-franchises in the Territory.

 

FRANCHISE APPROVAL

 

(2)                                 With respect to each Outlet to be established pursuant to this Agreement, the Developer must apply for and obtain franchise approval from BK through BK’s standard franchise approval procedures, including without limitation, submitting the then current Multiple Franchise Application, Management Commitment Form and Capitalisation Plan.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Developer understands and agrees that, as a condition to the granting of a franchise approval the Developer must have in the reasonable opinion of BK, operational and legal approval as well as site approval.  The terms “operational” and “legal” approval as used in this Agreement shall include without limitation the matters set out in Article 8(3) and 8(4) below.

 

15

 

OPERATIONAL APPROVAL

 

(3)                                 The Developer and all Controlled Subsidiaries and Sub-franchisees must be in substantial compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the provisions of the respective Franchise Agreements, and the standards, specifications and procedures set forth and described in BK’s Manual of Operating Data, as from time to time amended, including the maintenance of the interior and exterior of the Outlets to reflect an acceptable Burger King image.  The Developer agrees that changes in said standards, specifications and procedures may become necessary from time to time.  The Manual of Operating Data is constantly updated to reflect changes in standards, specifications and procedures and is therefore not attached to this Agreement.  In determining whether to grant operational approval BK shall be entitled to have full regard to Sub-franchised Outlets to the same extent as those operated by the Developer and its Controlled Subsidiaries.

 

LEGAL APPROVAL

 

(4)                                 The Developer must be in substantial compliance with all its obligations to BK and its Affiliates and no event listed in Article 12 of this Agreement must have occurred.  The Developer must comply with all reasonable requests of BK to provide information relating to the Developer, its Controlled Subsidiaries and its Sub-franchisees.

 

(5)                                 Substantial failure to meet operational and/or legal standards shall constitute grounds for refusing to grant a franchise approval or withdrawing an approval and shall not extend, modify or reduce the development requirements in Article 4.

 

(6)                                 The Developer shall furnish to BK at any time when requested a certified copy of its stock ledger showing the complete and accurate list of shareholders.

 

SITE APPROVALS, PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS

 

(7)                                 The Developer shall apply for and obtain site approval from BK for all sites whether or not destined to be Sub-franchised Outlets from BK in accordance with BK’s standard site approval procedures.  Site approval is a prerequisite to authorisation by the Developer to construct a Burger King Outlet at a particular location.  If the Developer enters into any legally binding commitment with vendors or lessors of a potential site before BK has given site approval in writing, then the Developer shall bear the entire risk of loss or damage resulting from a subsequent decision of BK not to give site approval.  The following requirements relating to site acquisition and construction shall apply:

 

(i)            The Developer assumes all cost, liability, expense and responsibility in locating, acquiring and developing the sites and of construction of the Outlet to be developed.

 

(ii)           All Outlets shall be constructed, equipped and furnished in accordance with approved plans and specifications.  If, and to the extent that, the Developer requires architectural and engineering services, it will contract for those services independently at its own expense.  The Developer shall, as a condition precedent

 

16

 

to the development of each Outlet, obtain from BK written architectural and operations approval of the Developer’s plans by BK.  The building design, style, size and interior decor, as well as the type of equipment, service format and equipment arrangement, for any future Outlet may be changed, amended or modified by BK from time to time.

 

(iii)          Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as obligating BK to grant a Franchise Agreement for any Outlet which has not been approved or in a case in which the completed building does not meet plans and specifications approved by BK.

 

(iv)          The Developer agrees that the approval of any site by or on behalf of BK or its Affiliates or the approval of any specifications or of any other matter relating to the development by or on behalf of BK does not amount to a representation or warranty relating directly or indirectly to the success or viability of, or any other matter relating to, the Outlet and no reliance shall be placed on any such warranty, representation or advice that may be given by any person by or on behalf of BK or its Affiliates unless such representation, warranty or advice is given in writing by a board director of BK.

 

(v)           BK shall respond within a reasonable time to all requests for approval of sites and specifications.  BK shall not unreasonably withhold any consent or approval.  Where there is particular urgency, the Developer shall provide BK at the earliest possible time with written notice of the urgency.

 

(vi)          Without prejudice to any provision of this Agreement, if the Developer wishes, for strategic or similar reasons, to open Outlets which the Developer believes will not achieve normal levels of financial return, or BK’s normal financial return criteria, the Developer undertakes not to incorporate distorted numbers or assumptions into its site application or otherwise attempt to give the appearance that the performance of the Outlet will be higher than the Developer actually believes.  Instead, the Developer shall clearly mark the application:

 

“Low financial return proposal — TAB wishes to proceed for strategic reasons despite anticipated low profitability”.

 

CONTROLLED SUBSIDIARIES

 

(8)                                 The Developer may cause Outlets to be operated by its subsidiaries subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

(i)            The Developer must at the time the Outlet opens for business be the legal and beneficial owner of not less than (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.) of all classes of shares in the relevant company or have control of that company to the greatest extent consistent with its shareholding.  Such a company is hereafter referred to as a “Controlled Subsidiary”.

 

17

 

(ii)           The approval process shall be channelled through the Developer who shall provide to BK all such information regarding the Controlled Subsidiary and its shareholders as BK may reasonably require.  Legal and operational approval must be obtained for the proposed Controlled Subsidiary as well as the Developer.

 

(iii)          In determining whether to accord legal or operational approval for any company BK may take account of the status and activities of all Controlled Subsidiaries (and also of all Sub-franchisees) as well as the Developer and the provisions of this Agreement relating to such approvals shall be read and construed accordingly.

 

Notwithstanding the Developer’s need to obtain all approvals referred to in this Article 8 in respect of each Outlet (whether to be operated by the Developer, Controlled Subsidiary or Sub-franchisee), BK shall act fairly and reasonably and within reasonable time frames in determining whether to grant or withhold consent in respect thereof with the intent to avoid unnecessary delays which could impact the Developer’s ability to meet the requirements of Article 4 hereof.

 

(9)                                 By no later than the first Business Day of the month following the month in which a Restaurant opens (whether the Restaurant is a Company Outlet or a Sub-franchised Outlet), the Developer shall provide BK with a written communication advising of the date that the Restaurant opened for business, together with digital photographs of the interior and exterior of the Restaurant, showing that such Restaurant is serving guests.

 

ARTICLE 9
 LOSS OF EXCLUSIVITY

 

At any time after the Development Rights granted to the Developer in the Turkey Territory have become non-exclusive for any reason described in this Agreement:

 

(1)                                 BK may, without prejudice to the terms of each Franchise Agreement, require the Developer to remit its Advertising Fund contributions to a central fund operated by BK or an Affiliate of BK, and to require its Controlled Subsidiaries to do likewise.

 

(2)                                 BK may require the Developer to hold advertising contributions from third party franchisees in addition to those which it would normally hold on behalf of itself and its Controlled Subsidiaries and to expend the same in accordance with reasonable instructions given to it by BK.

 

(3)                                 BK may require the Developer to remit advertising contributions on behalf of itself, its Controlled Subsidiaries to a third party operating restaurants in the Turkey Territory.

 

(4)                                 BK may subsequently require the Developer to remit all outstanding contributions to an advertising fund held by BK or by an Affiliate together with funds collected on behalf of its Controlled Subsidiaries.

 

18

 

(5)                                 The Developer shall co-operate as far as may in all the circumstances be reasonable with other operators of Restaurants within the Turkey Territory in the conduct of advertising campaigns, promotions, the management of the supply chain and/or distribution system and other matters that BK may reasonably require.

 

In addition, after the Development Rights have become non-exclusive for any reason described in this Agreement, BK may develop, open and operate, and, license third parties to develop, open and operate, Outlets in the Turkey Territory.

 

ARTICLE 10
 FRANCHISE AGREEMENT

 

(1)                                 Where an Outlet is to be owned and operated by a Controlled Subsidiary, the Controlled Subsidiary shall execute a Franchise Agreement as franchisee; the Developer and any other shareholder holding (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.) or more of the equity of the Controlled Subsidiary shall also execute the Franchise Agreement to give the covenants and undertakings on the part of the Principals as defined in the form of Franchise Agreement attached at Annex 1 hereto for the Territory.  Where the Outlet is to be owned and operated by the Developer or by a Sub-franchisee of the Developer, the Developer (as franchisee) shall execute a Franchise Agreement with BK (as franchisor), and the Sub-franchisee (as franchisee) shall execute a Sub-franchise Agreement with the Developer (as franchisor).

 

(2)                                 In respect of all Franchise Agreements executed following the date of this Agreement, the form of franchise agreement shall be in the form attached to Annex 1 hereto; provided, however, that the commercial terms shall reflect the terms set forth in this Agreement (even if that requires changes to the form of Annex 1).  The Developer shall deliver an executed original of the Franchise Agreement for a Company Outlet to BK at least seven days prior to the opening date of the relevant Company Outlet.  The Developer shall provide BK with written notice of the opening of a Sub-franchised Outlet by no later than five days prior to the opening date, together with an executed original of the Franchise Agreement for the Sub-franchised Outlet executed by the Developer.  The Developer shall provide BK with one copy of the fully executed Sub-franchise Agreement on or prior to the opening date of the Sub-franchised Outlet.

 

(3)                                 In either case, BK may introduce such terms as may in all the circumstances be reasonable in the light of changes in applicable laws to the forms of franchise agreement prior to each Franchise Agreement being executed.

 

(4)                                 The term of each Franchise Agreement issued hereunder shall commence on the day the Outlet opens for business and shall expire at midnight on the day immediately preceding the 20th anniversary of such opening, provided that where the Developer is unable to obtain a lease term of 20 years or more, BK shall if requested agree to a shorter franchise term equal to the duration of the lease.  Mobile restaurant franchises, if granted, shall have a duration of five years.

 

19

 

(5)                                 The Developer and its Controlled Subsidiaries shall be entitled to call for the grant of a new franchise in respect of each Outlet, to come into force on the day following the expiration of the Franchise Agreement, in accordance with the following provisions:

 

(i)            Both at the end of the Franchise Agreement and throughout its term, the Sub-franchisee must be in substantial compliance with all the terms of the Franchise Agreement.

 

(ii)           Not later than the last day of the second year before the end of the franchise term, the Developer must have served notice on BK of its desire to extend the Franchise Agreement.

 

(iii)          Within the six months immediately preceding the expiration of the franchise term, the Sub-franchisee must have conducted a refurbishment of the Outlet so that the Outlet is in a good state of physical repair and condition, with all necessary repairs and redecoration’s completed, and refurbished to present a Current Image acceptable to Burger King and complying with the Current Image or one of the Current Images then accepted by BK for the development of new restaurants in the Region at the relevant time.

 

(iv)          The first such extension as may be called for by the Developer shall be for a duration of 20 years.  If the Developer calls for a second extension, it shall be for a duration of 10 years.  For the avoidance of doubt no Franchise Agreement shall be subject to renewal in such a way that the total period of franchise shall extend beyond the 50th year from the date upon which the Outlet first opened for business.  Notwithstanding the above, if any law or regulation subsequently limits the duration of any Franchise Agreement which may be granted within the Territory, then the period of each renewal shall be whichever shall be the shorter of the period laid down by the said law or regulation, or the period otherwise laid down by this Article.  In those circumstances, the Developer may call for successive renewals bringing the total period of franchise to 50 years.

 

(6)                                 The provisions of Article 9(5) apply equally to Franchise Agreements granted prior to the Effective Date as they do to Franchise Agreements granted after the Effective Date.

 

ARTICLE 11
 TRAINING, SENIOR OPERATIONS MANAGER

 

(1)                                 The Developer shall at all times have a senior executive with day to day responsibility for the management of all its Restaurant operations, who shall have been previously approved by BK.  This person is hereinafter referred to as “Senior Operations Manager”.  This person shall have successfully undergone such training as BK generally applies to senior operations managers carrying such responsibilities.  BK shall be entitled, when dealing with the Senior Operations Manager, to assume that the said Senior Operations Manager has authority to take decisions and make agreements on behalf of the Developer for the purposes of the day to day running of the Developer’s Burger King business.

 

20

 

(2)                                 Should the position of the Senior Operations Manager subsequently become vacant or should the Senior Operations Manager become unable or unfit to perform his duties properly, the Developer shall with the minimum delay but in any event within three months of such vacancy designate a replacement who shall be required to complete the reasonable training requirements of BK.  The replacement shall be approved by BK — BK shall not unreasonably withhold its approval.

 

(3)                                 All Outlets shall be managed by such numbers of Managers and Assistant Managers as shall from time to time be consistent with BK’s operational and expansion policies, and trained in accordance with BK’s training and expansion policies from time to time in operation in Europe and the Middle East.  The Developer shall maintain the ability through one or more training facilities approved by BK to train its own managers, those of its Controlled Subsidiaries and Sub-franchisees as well as Sub-franchisees themselves to the standards required by Burger King from time to time within Europe and the Middle East.

 

ARTICLE 12
 DEFAULT

 

(1)                                 BK may terminate all the Development Rights granted to the Developer under this Agreement, including any outstanding franchise approvals for Burger King Outlets not yet opened, upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

(i)            it becomes impossible to receive payment in the Required Countries or otherwise in any foreign currency acceptable to BK in full and without any withholding or deduction other than withholding income tax;

 

(ii)           if the Developer fails to pay any sum due under this Agreement or if the Developer or any Controlled Subsidiary fails to pay any sum due under any of the Franchise Agreements within 90 days of a notice served by BK requiring it to do so; or if the Developer persistently fails to make payment of any sum or sums due under this Agreement or any Franchise Agreement by the due date; and for these purposes “Franchise Agreements” include all Franchise Agreements entered into by BK with Developer and/or its Controlled Subsidiaries, whether prior to, on or after the Effective Date;

 

(iii)          if the Developer fails at any time to satisfy to a material extent the operational and legal requirements set forth in Article 8, whether for the purpose of seeking franchise approval or in the day to day operation of its business and fails to cure such failure within 90 days of a notice in writing complying with the requirements of Article 19 given by BK specifying the nature of such failure and referring to its rights under this Article 12 in the event that such cure is not effected;

 

(iv)          save for the circumstances expressly permitted in the Agreement, if the Developer assigns, encumbers, transfers, sub-licenses or otherwise disposes of, or attempts to assign, transfer, encumber, or otherwise dispose of this Agreement or the Development Rights in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of BK;

 

21

 

(v)           if the Developer fails to comply with any of the other material terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, or any other material obligation owed to BK in the absence of any right of counterclaim or set off and to rectify the same within 90 days of a notice in writing complying with the requirements of Article 19 (Notices) requiring it so to comply;

 

(vi)          if the Developer, any Controlled Subsidiary or TFI (together, but for the purposes only of this Article, the “Developer”) seeks any type of relief under the provisions of a bankruptcy or insolvency law; or the Developer became bankrupt by a final court decision; or the Developer admits in writing or upon sworn oath the inability to pay any debts as they mature; or a receiver (permanent or temporary) is appointed over a substantial part of the Developer’s assets; or if any administrator is appointed over the Developer by any competent bankruptcy court or under any other law;

 

(vii)         if the Developer itself or through any Controlled Subsidiary or Sub-franchisee opens a Burger King Outlet without franchise approval, or site approval, or payment of all sums or execution of all required agreements and documents;

 

(viii)        if the Developer or any Controlled Subsidiary, Sub-franchisee or TFI challenges the validity of any of the trademarks or names copyrights or other industrial property right of BK;

 

(ix)          if any written information provided to BK or its Affiliates by the Developer or TFI prior to the date of this Agreement, in order to persuade or induce BK to enter into this Agreement, or any representation or warranty on the part of TFI in this Agreement, proves to be materially false or misleading;

 

(x)           if ten per cent or more of the shares in the Developer become owned or controlled by any person or company which carries on an activity prohibited by Article 20 of the form of the Franchise Agreement attached at Annex 1 hereto;

 

(xi)          if any of the shares in the Developer or any Controlled Subsidiary are disposed of without BK’s written consent in a manner prohibited by this Agreement;

 

(xii)         if any breach of Article 35 occurs; and

 

(xiii)        if less than fifty per cent plus one share of all classes of Voting Shares in the Developer are at any time held directly or indirectly by TFI, or voting control of the Developer is no longer held directly or indirectly by TFI, without the consent of BK (unless such ownership or consent is otherwise provided for pursuant to this Agreement).

 

(2)                                 For the avoidance of doubt, a breach of any of the terms of this Agreement shall not of itself constitute grounds for terminating any Franchise Agreement granted pursuant to this Agreement.  Each Franchise Agreement shall be construed in accordance with its terms as a contract independent of this Agreement.

 

22

 

(3)                                 The Developer may terminate this Agreement on the happening of any of the following events:

 

(i)            If BK fails to comply with any material terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement and fails to rectify the same within 90 days of a Notice in writing complying with the requirements of Article 19 requiring it so to comply.

 

(ii)           If BK seeks any type of relief under the provisions of a bankruptcy or insolvency law; or any person files a petition or application seeking to have BK adjudicated bankrupt and the application is not dismissed within 90 days after it is filed; or BK admits in writing or upon sworn oath the inability to pay any debts as they mature; or a receiver (permanent or temporary) is appointed over a substantial part of BK’s assets; or if any administrator is appointed over BK by any competent bankruptcy court or under any other law.

 

(iii)          If any disclosure occurs contrary to the terms of Article 35.

 

ARTICLE 13
 SECRECY OF PROPERTY

 

(1)                                 The Developer shall at all times, both during the term of this Agreement and following the termination of this Agreement, maintain in strict confidence BK’s operational manuals, marketing information and methods, and all information and knowledge relating to the methods of operating and functional know-how relating to Restaurants revealed by BK to the Developer.  The Developer shall not disclose this proprietary information of BK to any third party other than a Controlled Subsidiary/Sub-franchisee, or its Affiliates and/or parent organisation (subject always to the same obligation of confidence), nor shall the Developer use or permit any third party other than a Controlled Subsidiary/Sub-franchisee to use this proprietary information or any part thereof for any purpose whatsoever, except that during the term of this Agreement or any Burger King Franchise Agreement executed pursuant to this Agreement, the Developer may disclose to the Developer’s employees and employees of its Controlled Subsidiaries/Sub-franchisees such of BK’s proprietary information as may be necessary for carrying out the Developer’s obligations under this Agreement or the Burger King Franchise Agreement and for the operation of licensed Burger King Outlets.

 

(2)                                 BK shall at all times, both during the term of this Agreement and following the termination of this Agreement, maintain in strict confidence, whether written or oral, all information, reports, data and knowledge in connection with the Developer, its Controlled Subsidiaries and its Sub-franchisees.  BK may however disclose the same to its Affiliates and/or parent organisation, subject always to the same obligation of confidence.

 

(3)                                 The restrictions contained in this Article shall cease to apply to any information which is or comes within the public domain except where this results from a breach by the Parties.  Nothing in this Article shall prevent the Parties from disclosing information (i) to any court or government Authority having a legitimate reason to have such information or for

 

23

 

the purposes of any claim, litigation or proceedings between the Parties, or (ii) as permitted at Article 35(3) and (4).

 

ARTICLE 14
 NON-ASSIGNABILITY

 

This Agreement and the Development Rights granted to the Developer may not be assigned, transferred, charged or encumbered by the Developer, in whole or in part, whether directly or indirectly by operation of law, nor shall the Developer have any right to sub-license any of the rights granted under this Agreement without the prior written consent of BK, except (i) by way of sub-franchises granted in the Territory in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) any assignment or transfer to a wholly-owned subsidiary or parent company that owns all of the interests in the Developer (which subsidiary or parent company, as applicable, must be, and remain during the Term, a single-purpose entity, the business of which is limited to the development, operation and servicing of Restaurants and any activities ancillary thereto).

 

ARTICLE 15
 GUARANTOR

 

(1)                                 Subject to Article 29 of this Agreement headed “Force Majeure” and Article 29(3) below, TFI guarantees to BK the prompt payment of all sums due from the Developer under this Agreement and the compliance by the Developer with all the conditions contained in this Agreement, according to art. 111 of the Swiss Code of Obligations (the “Guarantee”).  TFI also guarantees to BK the prompt payment of all sums due from the Developer and any Controlled Subsidiary and the compliance by such persons with all the conditions of their Franchise Agreements whether granted before or after the Effective Date.  TFI shall pay all sums due under this Article, and take or cause to be taken all steps necessary to remedy a non-monetary breach of this Agreement or any Franchise Agreement, within 30 days of receipt of a demand specifying the breach or non-performance on the part of the Developer, and BK shall be under no obligation to take any steps or commence any proceedings against any Controlled Subsidiary or the Developer before enforcing any of its rights under this Guarantee.  TFI waives any right it might otherwise have to be given notice of any breach or non-performance except as part of a demand made under this Article 15(1).

 

(2)                                 The Guarantee herein contained shall be a continuing guarantee and shall cover all monies, obligations and conditions arising under this Agreement or any Franchise Agreement at any time during or after the term of this Agreement or any Franchise Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any intermediate satisfaction of any such matters.  The Guarantee shall cease in the event that (a) the total shares in the Developer issued or sold to the public in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, exceed 50% of the ordinary share capital of the Developer; and (b) at the date on which 50% or more of the total shares in the Developer are sold to the public, the Developer is in substantial compliance with its obligations under this Agreement.

 

24

 

(3)                                 The Guarantee herein contained shall remain valid and enforceable notwithstanding any time or indulgence given to the Developer or any Controlled Subsidiaries and/or any settlement agreed between BK and any such person.

 

(4)                                 As between BK and TFI all sums due to TFI from the Developer shall be subordinated to any sums owing from the Developer to BK.

 

(5)                                 TFI warrants to BK (and it is a condition of this Agreement) that the Guarantee given by it in this Agreement is binding upon it and fully enforceable in accordance with its terms, both in the state in which it has been incorporated and in the state in which it has its principal place of business.

 

(6)                                 Subject to (7) below, TFI shall not at any time during the term of this Development Agreement or while it retains an interest in the Developer or any company which holds a franchise granted in accordance with this Agreement or for one year thereafter:

(7)                                 Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit TFI and its Affiliates, from (a) operating existing, or opening and operating new restaurants, anywhere in the world in respect of the Usta Dönerci®, Sbarro®, Popeyes® and Burger King® brands, provided, however, that in the case of the Popeyes® and Burger King® brands, the foregoing shall not constitute approval or a waiver of any rights granted to BK or its Affiliates under any agreements between such parties and the Developer and its Affiliates, (b) operating existing restaurants in respect of the Burger City® brand in Northern Cyprus, or (c) operating existing, or opening and operating new, restaurants in respect of the Arby’s® brand in the Turkey Territory.

 

(8)                                 TFI shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) sell or otherwise dispose of any shares in the Developer or cause any new shares to be issued in the Developer to a third party, without the prior written consent of BK, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld in the following circumstances:

 

(a)                                 in the case of the issue of new capital in the Developer, to a non-competitor of BK; provided, however, that the existing direct or indirect holding of TFI in Developer does not fall below (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.) of the total shares at any time during the period after the Effective Date.

 

(b)                                 in the case of the issue of new capital in the Developer for the purposes of listing on the Turkish Stock Exchange, provided:

25

(9)                                 TFI will observe the covenants in this Agreement relating to Secrecy of Property (Article 13) as if it was the Developer.

 

(10)                          TFI shall as often as BK may reasonably request produce to BK such proof as BK may reasonably require that the terms of this Article 15 have been complied with.

 

(11)                          In the case of a public listing of the Developer, the Developer shall indemnify BK and keep BK indemnified against any liability which BK may have to any investor by reason of any statement (not previously approved in writing by BK) contained in any prospectus or other document or made verbally in order to induce such investor to purchase shares in the Developer.

 

ARTICLE 16
 CURRENCY, EXCHANGE CONTROL AND TAXATION

 

(1)                                 All payments to BK required under this Agreement shall be made in US$ (the “Required Currency”) into such bank account in London, England or Switzerland, or to such other place, as BK shall designate, provided that payment to any such other place must be at no additional cost (other than bank fees) to the Developer (unless BK pays or reimburses such costs, which may be via deduction from the amount being paid) compared to if such payment had been made in London, England or Switzerland (the “Required Countries”).  The Developer shall (or shall cause any relevant Controlled Subsidiary, as applicable, to) at its expense, make all necessary and appropriate applications to such Authorities as may be reasonably requested by BK or as may be required by Law for transmittal and payment of the Required Currency to BK.  Such payment shall be made by such method as BK may from time to time reasonably stipulate.  Each conversion from the local currency of the Territory (“Local Currency”) to the Required Currency shall be made at the Conversion Rate for the purchase of the Required Currency, as of the last Business Day of the month on which the payment is based, or in the case of the Annual Franchise Fee Amount or any Franchise Fee, as of the close of business on the last Business Day preceding the invoice date for the Annual Franchise Fee Amount or Franchise Fee, as the case may be.  At the Developer’s request, BK will provide the Developer (or any relevant Controlled Subsidiary, as applicable) with confirmation of the Conversion Rate for the Territory.  To the extent such application to the Authorities is denied or the convertibility of the Local Currency to the Required Currency is insufficient to make any of the required payments to BK pursuant to this Agreement, the Developer undertakes and agrees, subject to the requirements of applicable Law, to pay such monies in the Required Currency from its global bank accounts.

 

(2)                                 As and when any consent is required under any applicable law for the remittance of royalties and other payments to BK or to an Affiliate of BK designated by BK, the Developer shall (or shall cause any relevant Controlled Subsidiary, as applicable, to) at its own expense make all necessary and appropriate applications to such Authorities as

 

26

 

may be necessary or desirable to facilitate the transmittal and payment of sums due under this Agreement in accordance with the time frames set forth herein.

 

(3)                                 All payments made under this Agreement shall be made in full, free of any deduction or set off whatsoever, other than withholding or similar taxes as required by applicable Law.

 

(4)                                 If applicable Law requires the withholding or deduction of any withholding income tax amount, the Developer or the applicable Controlled Subsidiary shall withhold the required amount and pay the balance to BK; provided, however, that the Developer and/or the applicable Controlled Subsidiary shall remit payment of all amounts in respect of withholding tax liability to the taxing Authority and use reasonable efforts to provide BK with corresponding receipts from the taxing Authority to evidence such payments or amounts withheld or other evidence reasonably acceptable to BK to support a claim against BK’s Swiss income taxes with respect to the taxes withheld and paid by the Developer or the Controlled Subsidiary.

 

ARTICLE 17
 SEVERABILITY

 

The language of all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to its fair meaning and not strictly against any Party.  If any of the provisions of this Agreement may be construed in more than one way, one or more of which would render the provision illegal or otherwise voidable or unenforceable, such provisions shall have the meaning which renders it valid and enforceable.  In the event any competent court or other government Authority shall determine any provision in this Agreement is not enforceable as written, the Parties agree that the provision shall be amended so that it is enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies of the jurisdiction in which enforcement is properly sought and affords the Parties the same basic rights and obligations and has the same economic effect.  If in the reasonable opinion of BK the effect of such determination has the effect of frustrating the purpose of this Agreement, BK shall have the right by notice in writing to the other Party to terminate this Agreement with immediate effect.

 

ARTICLE 18
  ENTIRE AGREEMENT

 

(1)                                 This Agreement and the Franchise Agreements embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with respect to the development and franchising of Burger King Outlets and cancel and supersede all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements, written or oral, relating to the development and franchising of Restaurants.  The Developer and TFI acknowledge that they are not relying upon any representation, warranty, condition, agreement or understanding, written or oral, made by the Parties as their agents or representatives, except as herein specified.  Neither this Agreement nor any term or provision of it may be changed, waived, discharged, or modified orally.  The only changes, waivers, discharges or modifications that will be effective will be those which are in writing, signed by the Parties to this Agreement.

 

27

 

(2)                                 In particular and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement cancels and supersedes the Development Agreement between BKC, the Ultimate Shareholders and the Developer dated 20 September 1994.  Such cancellation shall however be without prejudice to the rights of BK to receive any monies due but not yet paid under that Development Agreement, and to the rights of the Developer to benefit from all approvals granted to it under the said Agreement and to proceed to develop and open for business all Outlets pursuant to such approvals but so that the Franchise Agreement and commercial terms in respect thereof shall be as provided in this Agreement.

 

(3)                                 If there is a conflict between the rights and obligations of a party under this Agreement and under any of the Franchise Agreements, or under any Exhibit or Schedule to this Agreement, the provisions contained in the body of this Agreement will control.

ARTICLE 20
 NON-WAIVER

 

Failure of any Party hereto to insist upon substantial performance of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, nor shall acceptance by BK of any money paid on behalf of the Developer under this Agreement or under any Burger King Franchise Agreement after any breach or default by the Developer of any one or more of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any Burger King Franchise Agreement, whether before or after notice to or knowledge of the breach or default by BK, constitute a waiver by BK of such breach or default.

(1)                                 The Developer acknowledges that it has no part in the creation or development of the Burger King Marks (as defined in the Article 1) and disclaims any right or interest therein, or to the goodwill derived therefrom.

 

(2)                                 The Developer shall immediately refer any threat or challenge to the validity, right or usage of the Burger King trademarks, trade names, patents or copyrights (which it becomes aware of) to BK, which shall have the sole right to defend the same.

 

(3)                                 The Developer shall not use any names, trademarks or trade names of BK or any variations or abbreviations thereof in any manner without prior written authorisation from BK.

ARTICLE 27
 ADVERTISING FUND

 

(1)                                 BK reserves the right but shall have no obligation to operate an advertising fund system in the Territory.  In the absence of an advertising fund operated by BK, the Developer shall ensure that all Controlled Subsidiaries as well as the Developer work in unison to expend advertising and promotional monies, together with all monies due from Sub-franchisees for advertising and promotional purposes, in compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement, the Franchise Agreements and the Global Marketing Policy.

 

(2)                                 Subject to the other provisions of this Article, including Article 7A, the Developer and each Controlled Subsidiary and Sub-franchisee in the Territory will allocate (a) 5% of the aggregate monthly Gross Sales in respect of, and for the entire term of, their respective Franchise Agreements and Sub-franchise Agreements for their Existing Outlets, (b) 5% of the aggregate monthly Gross Sales in respect of, and for the entire term of, their respective Franchise Agreements and Sub-franchise Agreements for renewals of Existing Outlets prior to the Effective Date, and (c) 4% of the aggregate monthly Gross Sales in respect of, and for the entire term of, their respective Franchise Agreements and Sub-franchise Agreements for renewals of Existing Outlets after the Effective Date (subject to complying with all of the conditions for renewing a Franchise Agreement or Sub-franchise Agreement for an Existing Outlet, including remodelling the Outlet to Current Image and paying the Franchise Fee to BK) and for each Company Outlet and Sub-franchised Outlet opened after the Effective Date (such amounts, the “Advertising Contributions”).  The Advertising Contributions will be remitted into a fund (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not need to be a separate cash account) (the “Advertising Fund”) to be used for advertising and marketing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The Developer will manage the Advertising Fund in accordance with this Agreement, the Franchise Agreement and the Global Marketing Policy.

 

(3)                                 The Developer will remit to BK from the Advertising Fund, on a monthly basis, an amount equal to 0.1% of aggregate monthly Gross Sales of all of the Outlets in the Territory (whether operated by the Developer, the Controlled Subsidiaries or the Sub-franchisees) to fund the BK Global Initiatives (the “Developer Contribution”).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Developer Contribution is remitted from the available Advertising Fund (and, therefore, is not to be remitted from any funds additional to or separate from the Advertising Fund).

ARTICLE 29
 FORCE MAJEURE

 

(1)                                 A Party is not liable for a failure to perform or a delay in the performance of any of its obligations in so far as it proves that:

 

(i)                                     the failure or delay was due to an impediment beyond its control, and

 

(ii)                                  it could not reasonably be expected to have taken into account the impediment and its effects upon its ability to perform at the time of the conclusion of the contract, and

 

(iii)                               it could not reasonably have avoided or overcome it or its effects.

 

(2)                                 The events under Article 29(1) above include without limitation an act of God, labour strike, war or civil unrest and exchange control restrictions imposed by the Turkish government.

 

(3)                                 A Party seeking relief shall, as soon as practicable after the impediment and its effects upon its ability to perform become known to it, give notice to the other Party of such impediment and its effects on its ability to perform.  Notice shall also be given when the ground of impediment ceases.  Failure to give either notice makes the Party thus failing liable in damages for loss which otherwise could have been avoided had the relevant notice been given.

 

(4)                                 A ground of relief under this Article relieves the Party failing to perform from liability in damages, from penalties and other contractual sanctions and from the duty to pay interest on money owing as long as and to the extent that the impediment subsists.

 

(5)                                 Immediately after the receipt of the notice informing the impediment, the Parties will enter into meaningful and fruitful negotiation with a view to agreeing how to overcome the consequences of the impediment and/or adapt the Agreement to the new conditions occurred as a consequence of the impediment within 90 days following the notification of the impediment.  However, the Parties may extend the 90 days period by mutual written agreement.

 

35

 

(6)                                 If the Parties cannot reach an agreement or if the grounds of relief subsist for more than 90 days, either Party shall be entitled to have recourse to arbitration in accordance with the terms of Article 30.

(1)                                 If any dispute, controversy or claim arises out of or in connection with this Agreement, including the breach, termination or invalidity of this Agreement or any non-contractual obligations or liabilities arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement (“Dispute”), any Party shall serve formal written notice on the other Party that a Dispute has arisen and describing the nature of such Dispute (“Notice of Dispute”).  Delivery by any Party of a Notice of Dispute shall toll the limitation period applicable to such Dispute for the time periods described in Article 30(2) and 30(3).

 

(2)                                 The disputing Parties shall use all commercially reasonable efforts for a period of 30 Days from the date on which the Notice of Dispute is served by one Party on the other Party (or such longer period as may be agreed in writing between the Parties) to resolve the Dispute on an amicable basis.

 

(3)                                 If the disputing Parties fail to resolve the Dispute by amicable negotiation within the time period referred to in Article 30(2), the Dispute shall be referred to the President of the Region of BK, or his or her designee, on behalf of BK and the Chief Executive Officer of the Developer, or his or her designee, on behalf of the Developer, who shall attempt, for a period of 30 Days from the expiry of the time period referred to in Article 30(2) to resolve the Dispute.  If such executives are unable to resolve the Dispute within the stated time period (or such longer period as may be agreed in writing between the Parties), any disputing Party may serve notice in writing on the other disputing Party that the Dispute shall be exclusively submitted to final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce in effect on the date of commencement of the arbitration (the “ICC Rules”), which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Article 30(3).  The Parties undertake to each execute and perform, on a timely basis, all such agreements, documents, assurances, acts and things and to exercise all powers and rights available to them, including the giving of all information and documentation reasonably requested, the convening of all meetings, the giving of all waivers and the passing of all resolutions reasonably required to ensure the enforceability of any final award of the arbitral panel in any jurisdiction where such enforceability is sought.

 

(4)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a disputing Party shall be entitled to interim or conservatory measures pursuant to the ICC Rules, including, but not limited to, temporary injunctive relief, to preserve or restore the status quo between the Parties, if absent such measures the timeline set forth in this Article 30 shall materially prejudice such Party.

 

(5)                                 The arbitral panel shall be composed of three arbitrators to be appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules.  The place of arbitration shall be Zurich, and the language to be used

 

36

 

in the arbitral proceedings shall be English, and all documents attached to filings submitted to the arbitral panel are to be translated from their original language into English unless expressly waived by the arbitral panel in consultation with the Parties.  All submissions to the arbitral panel, save any documents attached to such submissions as set forth in this Article 30(5), shall be submitted in English.

 

(6)                                 The arbitral panel shall: (i) have the exclusive authority to decide any issues regarding the applicability, interpretation, formation or enforcement of this Agreement (including determining the arbitrability of any Dispute); (ii) be empowered to grant legal and equitable remedies (including injunctive relief) in connection with any Dispute submitted to arbitration; and (iii) issue a reasoned final award after making a determination on the merits of any such Dispute.  The arbitral panel shall award the prevailing party in the arbitration the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (including expert costs) incurred in connection with the arbitration and any related proceedings to enforce the arbitration award.

 

(7)                                 Any final award entered by the arbitral panel shall be the final, binding and exclusive determination of any Dispute submitted to arbitration, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction and any court where any party to the arbitration or its assets are located.  Neither a party to an arbitration nor the arbitral panel may disclose the existence, subject matter, content or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of all Parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right or as may otherwise be required by applicable law, Canadian or US franchise disclosure requirements, franchise disclosure requirements of the Territory (or other foreign equivalent applicable in the circumstances) or disclosure requirements of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the Ontario Securities Commission, or any applicable foreign equivalent, or any stock exchange on which the equity securities of a Party or its affiliates may be listed or any other Authority.

 

(8)                                 An arbitral tribunal constituted under this Agreement may, at the request of a party to the arbitration proceeding, consolidate the arbitration proceeding with any other arbitration arising under this Agreement or a Franchise Agreement or, if all of the parties to the dispute agree, a Sub-franchise Agreement, if the arbitration proceedings raise common questions of law or fact, and consolidation would not prejudice the rights of any party.  If two or more arbitral tribunals under these agreements issue consolidation orders, the order issued by the arbitral tribunal first constituted shall prevail.

 

(9)                                 The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which there would be no adequate remedy at law, would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and each Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other Party, or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which a Party is entitled at law or in equity.  Each of the Parties hereby waives, in any action for specific performance or other equity remedy (including for injunctive relief), the defence of adequacy of a remedy at law.

ARTICLE 32
 SUB-FRANCHISING — FINANCIAL TERMS

 

(1)                                 The Developer (but not any Controlled Subsidiary) is hereby granted the exclusive right to grant sub-franchises in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including for the avoidance of doubt, the form of Franchise Agreement attached at Annex 1 hereto).

 

(2)                                 The Developer shall not grant any Sub-franchise Agreement in respect of any Outlet unless each of the following conditions has been fulfilled.

 

(i)                                     The Sub-franchisee shall be either:

 

(a)                                 an individual person, or

 

(b)                                 a company which is controlled by an individual person or by a family who hold(s) not less than 50% plus one share of all classes of equity shares in the said company and personally guarantee(s) the obligations of the company as sub-franchisee.

 

(ii)                                  In respect of the first ten persons or companies to which sub-franchises are granted:

 

(a)                                 in the case of persons, BK shall have been given all such information as BK may reasonably require, including the information required by BK’s standard form of franchise application used for individual persons, with such modifications as may in BK’s reasonable opinion be appropriate for a sub-franchise;

 

(b)                                 in the case of a company, BK shall have been given all such information as BK may reasonable required regarding the company and its shareholders including the information required by BK’s standard corporate franchise application form, appropriately modified; and BK shall have met with and interviewed each individual and any shareholder of any company holding 20% or more of any class of equity, as well as the managing director and operations director of any company.

 

(iii)                               All Sub-franchisees must comply with the criteria for franchisee selection set out in Annex 2.  Accordingly the Developer must evaluate each franchisee against each of these criteria before the grant of any franchisee agreement or preliminary agreement and shall not grant any franchise or preliminary agreement to any sub-franchisee which does not comply fully with such criteria without the prior written consent of BK.

 

38

 

(iv)                              The Developer shall have ownership of the Outlet and/or a lease of the Outlet at least equal to the term of the Franchise Agreement granted to it by BK.

 

(v)                                 In the case of an individual franchisee, the franchisee shall have executed the form of Sub-franchise Agreement set out in Annex 5 of this Agreement.  In the case of a corporate franchisee, the franchisee, and each shareholder holding twenty percent or more of any class of equity in the franchise company shall have executed the form of Sub-franchise Agreement set out in Annex 5.  In each case, the terms of such Sub-franchisee Agreement shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement (even if that requires changes to the form of Annex 5).

 

(vi)                              The Sub-franchise Agreement shall only be granted in conjunction with an agreement whereby the Sub-franchisee becomes the subcontractor of the Developer, having both the right and obligation to operate a Burger King restaurant at the said Outlet for the duration of the sub-franchise.

 

(vii)                           The Developer shall first have secured all necessary permits for the grant of the said subcontracting agreement including the permission of any landlord and/or administrative authority as may be required.

 

(viii)                        The Developer shall have substantially complied with the franchising guidelines in relation to the proposed Sub-franchisee as set out in Annex 3 to this Agreement, with only such modifications as may previously have been agreed with BK.

 

(ix)                              The Sub-franchisees and its managers shall have successfully undergone training by the Developer and at the Sub-franchisee’s expense in accordance with BK’s standard policies in force in the Region or a substantial part of the Region.

 

(x)                                 The Developer shall have provided the Sub-franchisee, before the Sub-franchisee has committed to take a Sub-franchise, with a profit and loss account for the Outlet covering (at least) the most recent twelve months (unless the Outlet has been traded for less than twelve months, in which case the account shall cover all months traded).  The said profit and loss account shall be prepared on a consistent basis and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Turkey and show a true and fair picture.

 

(xi)                              No Sub-franchisee shall be granted more than (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.).  This shall not be circumvented by the use of separate companies.

 

(xii)                           A Sub-franchisee who directly or through one or more companies holds three or more Sub-franchises must have a “group manager”.  Where more than six Sub-franchises are held, the Sub-franchisees must have two “group managers”.  A “group manager” may either be the individual Sub-franchisee or a suitably qualified employee.  The group manager shall have day to day responsibility for overseeing the operations of the restaurants in the group.

 

39

 

(xiii)                        The Developer shall provide to all Sub-franchisees the ability to verify on a regular basis (either directly or by the use of third party auditors) the amounts received and expended by the Developer by way of marketing, advertising or sales promotion.

 

(3)                                 The duration of each Sub-franchise Agreement shall not extend beyond the duration of the Franchise Agreement granted by BK to the Developer in respect of the Outlet, and may be shorter.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Sub-franchisee Agreement expires or is terminated for any reason other than that caused by an impediment as described in Article 29 of this Agreement headed Force Majeure, this shall not affect the obligations of the Developer under the corresponding Franchise Agreement with BK and the Developer shall either:

 

·                                          take up operation of the business of operating a Restaurant and shall continue to exercise its business for the duration of the Franchise Agreement and in accordance with its terms;

 

·                                          grant a new sub-franchise to another Sub-franchisee for the relevant Outlet; or

 

·                                          to the extent that Article 32(16) applies, close the Outlet in accordance with Article 32(16).

 

(4)                                 The Developer or the Sub-franchisees shall, prior to granting the said Sub-franchisee have fitted out the Outlet with all necessary fixtures and fittings and shall throughout the duration of the Sub-franchise remain the owner vis-à-vis the Sub-franchisee of all fixtures in the Outlet.  The Developer may conduct business with its Sub-franchisees in such a way that the Sub-franchisees are the owners of all equipment and loose fittings within the Outlet, other than those which are fixtures, or so that the Sub-franchisee may lease the same from a third party.

 

(5)                                 It shall be the responsibility of the Developer, and in no way the responsibility of BK, to satisfy itself that the Sub-franchisee is suitable to be a Sub-franchisee of the Developer, and in particular that the Sub-franchisee has sufficient liquid assets to fund the operation of the business; furthermore that the financial and other terms of Sub-franchise Agreement between the Developer and the Sub-franchisee are, such as to render it reasonably likely that the Sub-franchisee will be able to operate its business at the Outlet profitably and for the duration of the Sub-franchise Agreement.  In approving Sub-franchisees, and/or Outlets, and in agreeing the terms of this Agreement and the forms of Sub-franchise Agreement, BK shall not make and shall not be deemed to make any representation, warranty or other promise whatsoever to the Developer regarding the success of its sub-franchising activities, the suitability or otherwise of the forms of Sub-franchise Agreement, the success or otherwise of any Sub-franchisee, the suitability of any Outlet, and/or the suitability of any Sub-franchisee to operate a Burger King franchise.  This Article 32(5) shall be entirely without prejudice to the provisions of Article 15 of this Agreement.

 

40

 

(6)                                 The consideration for the grant of each Sub-franchisee shall be as follows:

 

·                                          Royalty (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.) (as defined in the forms of Sub-franchise Agreement);

 

·                                          Advertising Fund contribution 4% or 5% of Gross Sales, as set out in Article 27(2);

 

·                                          Franchise fee (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.) or its equivalent, subject to Article 7A(7);

 

·                                         All cost, expense relating to the developing the sites and of construction of the              Outlet; and

 

·                                          The rentals of the Outlet.

 

In addition, the Developer may charge an additional Assistance Services Contribution up to (This material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment, and such material has been filed separately with the Commission.) throughout the duration of such franchise.

 

The Developer shall not make any other charge for the grant of any sub-franchise or related right without the prior written consent of BK.

 

The Developer shall upon request from BK promptly disclose to BK all franchise fees, royalties, advertising contributions, rentals and other payments paid or payable by the Sub-franchisee either initially in respect of the grant, or subsequently during the course of the Sub-franchise Agreement so that BK may know to the fullest extent possible what revenues are derived by the Developer and its affiliates from the Sub-franchise.

 

(7)                                 At the time of executing this Agreement, the Parties have agreed that Sub-franchise Agreements shall be in substantially one or other of the formats set out in Annex 5 hereto, provided that the terms of such Sub-franchisee Agreement shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement (even if that requires changes to the form of Annex 5).

 

(8)                                 The form of Sub-franchise Agreement may to some extent limit the responsibilities of the Developer vis-à-vis its Sub-franchisees, but as between BK and the Developer, the Developer agrees that it shall throughout the term of each and every Sub-franchise Agreement provide to the Sub-franchisee the services set out in Annex 4 to this Agreement.

 

(9)                                 If and as long as any Sub-franchise Agreement remains in existence, the Developer shall provide BK with the following information, which shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any other information which the Developer is obligated to supply to BK either by the terms of this Agreement, or by any Franchise Agreement subsequently

 

41

 

entered into by the Developer.  References in the following to “months” are references to BK’s monthly accounting period:

 

·                                          Within 15 days of the end of each month, a list of all new Sub-franchises granted, including: BK number, full address, and name and address of the sub-franchisee;

 

·                                          Within 28 days of the end of each month, a copy of the executed Sub-franchise Agreement;

 

·                                          Upon demand by BK at any time, which demand shall be made reasonably, a copy of the Sub-franchise Agreement and any other contractual arrangement between the Developer and the Sub-franchisee;

 

·                                          Within five days of the end of the month, a statement of Gross Sales achieved in each Outlet within the Territory whether operated by the Developer, a Controlled Subsidiary or a Sub-franchisee;

 

·                                          Within 15 days of the end of each month, a list of all Sub-franchisees who are in late in payment of any sum due to the Developer, together with the amount and nature of the sum(s) in question;

 

·                                          Within 15 days of the end of each month, a brief description of any material breaches of the terms of any Sub-franchise Agreement, together with a brief description of any corrective action taken by the Developer and/or proposed to be taken by the Developer; and

 

·                                          Within 15 days of the end of each month, an account of all monies received and spent on advertising and promotion, and a brief description of the activities upon which such monies have been expended and the marketing areas in which it has been expended.

 

(10)                          Each Sub-franchise Agreement shall inter alia require the Sub-franchisee to admit access to the Outlet at all reasonable times by BK, by any Affiliate of BK, or any other representative or agent of BK as well as the Developer for all purposes relevant to the Franchise Agreement between BK and the Developer in respect of such Outlet; and the Developer shall procure that the Sub-franchisee permits such right of access to be freely exercised and shall co-operate with BK in all matters which BK may reasonably require or have the Sub-franchisee do or refrain from doing in relation to the said Outlet provided that BK’s or the Developer’s requirements shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and/or the Franchise Agreement between BK and the Developer in respect of such Outlet.

 

(11)                          The Developer shall take all such steps as may be reasonable to ensure that each and every Sub-franchisee complies fully with the terms of the Sub-franchise Agreement and does nothing which is calculated or likely to damage the reputation of the Burger King brand.  In taking action against Sub-franchisees the Developer shall act with appropriate commercial prudence and shall itself do nothing which is calculated or likely to damage

 

42

 

the Burger King brand or System.  In case BK believes that a Sub-franchisee is conducting business in the Outlet in a way which is inconsistent with this Agreement, or the Franchise Agreement between BK and the Developer, and/or is acting in a way which is calculated or likely to cause damage to the reputation of the Burger King brand or System, BK may require the Developer to take such remedial action as BK may reasonably specify, and the Developer shall take such action with all reasonable speed at the Developer’s expense.  Such action may, if BK so requires, include terminating the Sub-franchise Agreement or taking such other action as may be appropriate to ensure that the Developer resumes operation of the Outlet.

 

(12)                          Without limiting the provisions of Article 10, BK shall be entitled, in accordance with its standard procedures in force in the Region or a substantial part of the Region from time to time in force applied to the relevant Sub-franchisee, to direct the Developer to withdraw franchise approval (or to refrain from granting franchise approval) and not to grant any new franchise or preliminary agreement to any Sub-franchisee which BK considers not to be entitled to operational approval or legal approval as those terms are used in the said Expansion Policy.

 

(13)                          Subject to the provisions of Article 29 of this Agreement, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 10 or 11, in the event that any Sub-franchised Outlet has a Restaurant Excellence Visit or REV score below 80% of the average REV score of all Restaurants in the Region (as a whole) for one year, BK may require the Developer to take over the operation of the relevant Outlet.  Unless the Outlet is permitted to be closed in accordance with the provisions of Article 32(16) below, the Developer within three months of receiving a notice to that effect shall either:

 

·                                          take up operation of the business of operating a Restaurant and shall continue to exercise its business for the duration of the Franchise Agreement and in accordance with its terms; or

 

·                                          grant a new sub-franchise to another Sub-franchisee for the relevant Outlet.

 

For these purposes “REV” shall mean the measurement system from time to time operated by BK in the Region to evaluate performance and improve operations.  The REV is broken down into two parts:  Brand Standards and Food Safety.  Brands Standards evaluates seven areas:  C.A.R.E., Speed of Service, Cleanliness, Food Quality, Profitability and Shift Management, Training and Repair and Maintenance.  Food Safety evaluates adherence to BK’s food safety standards.  The REV will produce one composite score, which is the average of an Outlet’s Brands Standards and Food Safety score.  If at any time BK does not apply the same system in the Region, then the figure of 85% shall be applied to the average REV score of Outlets in the Turkey Territory.

 

(14)                          Acts or omissions on the part of any Sub-franchisee shall be deemed as acts or omissions of the Developer for all purposes connected with this Agreement and BK shall have no liability whatsoever to the Developer in respect of any act or omission of any Sub-franchisee, unless BK shall have directed the Sub-franchisee to take such act or make such omission.

 

43

 

(15)                          The Developer shall hold BK harmless and indemnify BK against claims made by any Sub-franchisee against BK on grounds which directly or indirectly relate to the following alleged matters:

 

(i)                                     any misrepresentation or non-disclosure of information relating to the Burger King brand, System or Marks, the relationship between BK and the Developer and/or any matter relating to the Sub-franchise Agreement or subcontracting agreement or any information provided to the Sub-franchisee;

 

(ii)                                  any failure by the Developer to fulfil any obligations which it has accepted vis-à-vis BK in this Agreement;

 

(iii)                               any failure to perform any obligation owed by the Developer to the Sub-franchisee in its capacity as master franchisor and/or granter of a Sub-franchise Agreement or in any way related to the relationship under which the Sub-franchisee operates and Outlet unless the failure is due to BK’s failure and/or delay to perform any obligation owed to Developer or any deed of BK have directed the Developer to take such act or make such omission; and

 

(iv)                              actions taken by the Developer to enforce the terms of any Sub-franchise agreement and/or terminate any Sub-franchise Agreement unless such actions have been taken in a manner consistent with the requirements of BK.

ARTICLE 33
 RECORDS RETENTION AND RIGHT OF AUDIT

 

(1)                                 The Developer shall, and shall ensure that its Controlled Subsidiaries and Sub-franchisees shall, maintain full and complete records of all matters relating to the performance of the terms of this Agreement, each Franchise Agreement and each Sub-franchise Agreement, including without limitation, records of all Gross Sales, all monies contributed by the Developer and/or its Controlled Subsidiaries or received from Sub-franchisees for advertising and promotional purposes, all expenditure on advertising and promotional purposes and all monies received by way of franchise fees and royalties from Sub-franchisees.  The Developer shall maintain these records for a rolling period of not less than five years and shall upon the reasonable request of BK make available copies of such records for inspection by BK.

 

(2)                                 The Developer shall, and shall ensure that its Controlled Subsidiaries and Sub-franchisees shall, permit BK, its Affiliates, and their representatives and agents at all reasonable times to audit all books of account and all records of the Developer and/or the Controlled Subsidiaries and/or Sub-franchisees, to the fullest extent, for the purposes of enabling BK to ascertain compliance by the Developer with all aspects of the terms of this Agreement and each Franchise Agreement entered into by it, and by the Controlled Subsidiaries and of any Sub-franchise Agreements into which the Developer may enter.

 

44

 

(3)                                 The Developer shall not, and shall ensure that its Controlled Subsidiaries and Sub-franchisees shall not, do anything which may be calculated or likely to delay or hinder or make more difficult the conduct of any such audit.

 

(4)                                 BK or such person as may conduct the audit shall be entitled to take copies of any materials, relevant to the audit and to remove the same from the premises where they are located.

ARTICLE 35
 CONFIDENTIALITY AND DISCLOSURE

In reliance on the application and information furnished by Franchisee and Co-Debtor, BKE grants to Franchisee a non-exclusive license to use the Burger King System, including the Burger King Marks, solely in connection with the operation of a Burger King Restaurant at the Location for the Term on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Franchisee must pay the Franchise Fee to BKE upon execution of this Agreement.  The Franchise Fee is non-refundable and is deemed fully earned by BKE upon execution of this Agreement.  The Franchise Fee and the Royalty payable under clause 8.1 are in consideration solely for the grant of rights in clause 2.1 and are not for BKE’s performance of any specific obligations or services.

 

2.3                               No Exclusivity.

 

Franchisee acknowledges and agrees that the license conferred under this Agreement is for the operation of a Burger King Restaurant for the Term at the Location only, and that Franchisee has no right to any exclusive territory, market or trade area, or except as provided in this Agreement to object to the development or location of any additional franchised or company operated Burger King Restaurants, or other food outlets operating under a trade or service mark or system owned or licensed by BKE or any of its

Affiliates.  BKE (and its Affiliates, if applicable) may in its sole business judgment develop, operate, license or franchise additional Burger King Restaurants or other food outlets operating under a trade or service mark or system owned or licensed by BKE or any of its Affiliates anywhere, including sites in the immediate proximity of the Franchised Restaurant and/or in the same territory, market or trade area of the Franchised Restaurant.  Franchisee hereby waives any right it has, may have, or might in the future have, to oppose the development or location of other Burger King Restaurants, and any claim for compensation from BKE or any of its Affiliates in respect of any and all detriment or loss suffered by it as a result of the development and location of additional Burger King Restaurants.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, BKE acknowledges and agrees that it has granted exclusivity rights to the Developer under and pursuant to the terms of the DA, including, but not limited to, the Development Rights, as defined in the DA, and the right to grant sub-franchises, and this clause 2.3 shall not apply while such rights are in effect.

 

2.4                               Expiration.

 

This Agreement and the license granted hereunder, shall expire at the end of the Term unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement or as provided by law.  Franchisee acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent legally permissible, no notice is required to terminate this Agreement upon the expiration of the Term.

Franchisee must commence to operate the Franchised Restaurant on the Opening Date and must operate the Franchised Restaurant in accordance with this Agreement continuously throughout the Term.  Franchisee expressly agrees that any failure to do so shall constitute a material act of default under this Agreement, and BKE shall be entitled to collect all actual and consequential damages (including lost profits) incurred as a result of any failure to so operate continuously for the full Term.

 

3.2                               Exceptions.

Franchisee covenants that the sole purpose and business activity of Franchisee is, and will remain throughout the Term, to develop and operate Burger King Restaurants.  Franchisee further covenants that, to the extent permissible by law, its governing documents will at all times during the Term restrict its purpose and business activity to developing and operating Burger King Restaurants.  In addition, the governing documents will, at all times during the Term, mandate the designation of a Managing Owner and describe the Managing Owner’s authority to bind the Franchisee and to direct any actions necessary to ensure compliance with this Agreement and any other agreements related to the Franchised Restaurant.

Franchisee and each Principal agree to furnish to BKE such evidence as BKE may in its sole discretion request from time to time to assure BKE that the Principals and their respective shareholdings or ownership interests in all classes of shares or ownership interests in Franchisee, and the beneficial interest in those shares or ownership interests remain as warranted in this Agreement or as approved by BKE from time to time in accordance with section 14 below.

 

4.3                               Managing Owner.

 

(a)                                 Franchisee must at all times during the Term employ a Managing Owner who must be a natural person and who shall be approved in advance by BKE in BKE’s sole discretion.  Franchisee covenants that the Managing Owner is granted the authority by Franchisee to bind Franchisee in all dealings with BKE and its Affiliates and to direct any action necessary to ensure compliance with this Agreement and other agreements relating to the Franchised Restaurant.  The Managing Owner at the date of this Agreement is the person specified as such in Schedule A.

 

(b)                                 Franchisee covenants that the Managing Owner will, at all times, have Control of Franchisee and will not delegate Control to any other person or entity.  Franchisee must ensure that the Managing Owner exercises that Control diligently in compliance with this Agreement and in a timely manner.

 

(c)                                  No change in the Managing Owner may be made without the prior approval of BKE.  If for any reason the person approved by BKE as the Managing Owner ceases to have Control of Franchisee, then as soon as practicable, and in any event no later than 90 days after such cessation, Franchisee must appoint a new Managing Owner that is approved in advance by BKE in its sole discretion.

 

10

 

(d)                                 If a person other than the Managing Owner is approved by BKE to act as the Operations Director pursuant to clause 4.4, the Managing Owner shall nevertheless devote substantial time and attention to the management and oversight of the Franchised Restaurant and any other Burger King Restaurants operated by Franchisee, and shall be available for meetings as requested by BKE.

 

4.4                               Operations Director.

 

(a)                                 Franchisee must appoint, employ and authorize an Operations Director who must be approved in advance by BKE in BKE’s sole discretion.  The Operations Director at the date of this Agreement is the person specified as such in Schedule A.

 

(b)                                 Franchisee must ensure that the Operations Director devotes his or her full time and best efforts to the overall supervision and day-to-day operations of the Franchised Restaurant (and any other Burger King Restaurants in respect of which he or she is approved by BKE as the Operations Director).  Franchisee covenants that the Operations Director will at all times have the authority to direct any action necessary to ensure that the day-to-day operation of the Franchised Restaurant is in compliance with the MOD Manual, this Agreement and such other directions, policies, procedures, standards and specifications as may be issued by BKE from time to time.

 

(c)                                  The Operations Director must live in the vicinity of the Franchised Restaurant, as the term “vicinity” is defined for Operations Directors by BKE from time to time, in its reasonable discretion.

 

(d)                                 If the approved Operations Director ceases to hold that position in Franchisee, Franchisee shall, as soon as practicable, and in any event no later than 90 days after such cessation, appoint a replacement who must be approved in advance by BKE in its sole discretion.

 

(e)                                  If Franchisee seeks BKE’s approval of a person other than the Managing Owner to act as the initial or replacement Operations Director, Franchisee understands that in deciding whether to approve such person, BKE may consider the reasons for having different persons in such roles, the respective levels of financial commitment (such as percentage of ownership, if applicable) of the individuals, the number of Burger King Restaurants operated by Franchisee, the management structure and quality of Franchisee’s operations, whether the Managing Owner will also commit to devote full time and attention and best efforts to the operation of Burger King Restaurants and such other factors as BKE may deem appropriate for consideration.

 

4.5                               Other Management.

4.7                               No Change in Organization.

 

Franchisee must notify BKE of any changes to, and at BKE’s request provide copies of, any organizational or other governing documents of Franchisee.  No amendments or revisions to such governing documents may be made or adopted if such amendment or revisions would: (a) change the description of Franchisee’s sole purpose or authorized activities as contemplated under clause 4.1 above; (b) change the designation of, or the procedures for designating, the Managing Owner; (c) change the authority delegated to the Managing Owner or the Operations Director; or (d) materially alter promises or representations contained in Franchisee’s applications or distribution plans submitted and approved by BKE.

 

Franchisee may not take any action, whether directly or indirectly, to avoid the Control requirements for the Managing Owner or the authority requirements for the Managing Owner and the Operations Director, respectively.  Franchisee must provide BKE with such evidence as BKE may in its sole discretion request from time to time to assure BKE that the activities and purpose of Franchisee, and the Control of the Managing Owner and authority of the Managing Owner and Operations Director, respectively, remain as required by this Agreement.

 

5.                                      STANDARDS AND UNIFORMITY

(a)                                 By no later than the 10th day of each month, Franchisee must pay the applicable Advertising Contribution to Developer, who will remit such contributions into an Advertising Fund (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not need to be a separate cash account).  The Developer will manage such fund in accordance with the DA, this Agreement and the Global Marketing Policy.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Franchisee acknowledges that, pursuant to Article 27(3) of the DA, the Developer will remit to BKE from the Advertising Fund, on a monthly basis, an amount equal to 0.1% of aggregate monthly Gross Sales of all of the Burger King Restaurants in the Turkey Territory to fund the BK Global Initiatives.

 

(b)                                 At any time after the Development Rights granted to the Developer in the Turkey Territory have become non-exclusive for any reason described in the DA, or if the DA expires or is terminated, BKE may require, upon written notice to Franchisee, that Franchisee remit its Advertising Contributions to BKE or an Affiliate of BKE, to a third party operating restaurants in the Turkey Territory or to a BKE Ad Fund. Franchisee shall also co-operate with other operators of Burger King Restaurants within the Turkey Territory in the conduct of advertising campaigns, promotions, the management of the supply chain and/or distribution system and other matters that BKE may reasonably require.  Exclusively upon the occurrence of any of the events described in this clause 8.2(b):

 

(i)                                     Advertising Contributions paid by Franchisee, less Administrative Expenses and any applicable taxes, will, at BKE’s sole discretion, be combined with the advertising contributions of other franchisees in an BKE Ad Fund and used for (i) conducting customer satisfaction surveys and market research expenditures directly related to the development and evaluation of the effectiveness of advertising and sales promotions;

 

21

 

(ii) creative, production, clearance and other costs incurred in connection with the development of advertising, sales promotions and public relations, and (iii) various methods of delivering the advertising or promotional message, including, without limitation, television, radio, outdoor, print, electronic and digital media.  All expenditures from the BKE Ad Fund shall be made by BKE in its sole discretion.  The allocation of the Advertising Contribution among international, national, regional and local expenditures shall also be made by BKE in its sole discretion and can be modified by BKE from time to time in its sole discretion.

 

(ii)                                  Franchisee acknowledges and agrees that BKE is not required to spend the total contributions to the BKE Ad Fund in the fiscal year of BKE in which such contributions are received, and BKE may accumulate such reserves as it deems appropriate.  Franchisee further acknowledges and agrees that BKE is not required to spend any specific proportion of the BKE Ad Fund in any particular location or in respect of any particular Burger King restaurant, and that it is not entitled to a refund of any monies held in the BKE Ad Fund upon expiration or termination of this Agreement.

(iv)                              All Administrative Expenses shall be paid from the BKE Ad Fund.  If requested by Franchisee, BKE will, within 120 days following such request, prepare and deliver to Franchisee a statement of the BKE Ad Fund’s receipts and expenses for the most recent fiscal year of the BKE Ad Fund.

 

(v)                                 If BKE makes commitments for advertising, public relations, customer satisfaction programs, market research or sales promotion activities prior to the opening of the Franchised Restaurant for which payment is required before Franchisee’s Advertising Contributions are due, Franchisee shall upon request make an advance payment to BKE in an amount not to exceed the result of applying the Advertising Percentage to Franchisee’s estimate of the Gross Sales for the first six months of operation of the Franchised Restaurant.  Any such advance payment will be credited towards Franchisee’s Advertising Contributions payable under this Agreement.

 

8.3                               No Set Off; Method of Payment.

 

The Royalty and Advertising Contribution must be paid in full free of any deductions or set-off whatsoever (other than withholding or similar taxes as required by applicable Law) by such method (including direct debit in accordance with clause 8.5) as BKE may from time to time stipulate.  If required by BKE, Franchisee must submit to BKE a

 

22

 

recipient-created tax invoice or a remittance statement in a form prescribed by BKE at the same time as the payment is made.

 

8.4                               Interest.

 

Franchisee must pay to BKE interest on any sum overdue under this Agreement, in the currency in which the overdue sum was required to be paid, calculated on a daily basis from the due date until payment in full at the highest interest rate allowable by applicable law.  Entitlement to such interest shall be in addition to any other remedies BKE may have.

 

8.5                               Direct Debit and Other Methods of Payment.

 

BKE may, at its option, require payment of the Royalty and any other amount payable under this Agreement by such method or methods as may best align or accord with BKE’s global payment policy standards in effect from time to time, including, without limitation, by international wire transfer, electronic funds transfer, ACH credit transfer, international drawdown and/or by direct monthly withdrawals in the form of an electronic, wire, automated transfer or other similar electronic funds transfer in the appropriate amount(s) from Franchisee’s bank or other financial institution account,  If BKE exercises the latter option to automatically pull funds from the Franchisee’s bank account, Franchisee will: (a) execute and deliver to its financial institution and to BKE those documents necessary to authorize such withdrawals and to make payment or deposit as directed by BKE; (b) not thereafter terminate such authorization so long as any payments are owed to BKE hereunder or any other agreement with BKE, whether this Agreement is in effect or this Agreement has expired or been terminated or any other such agreement is in effect or has expired or been terminated, without the prior approval of BKE; (c) not close such account without prior notice to BKE and the establishment of a substitute account permitting such withdrawals; and (d) take all reasonable and necessary steps to establish an account at a financial institution which has a direct electronic funds transfer or other withdrawal program if such a program is not available at Franchisee’s financial institution.

 

8.6                               Franchisee Must Not Withhold Payment.

 

Subject to clause 8.3, Franchisee must not for any reason withhold payment of any amount due to BKE.  This applies even if Franchisee alleges that BKE has not performed or is not performing an obligation imposed upon it under this Agreement or any other agreement with BKE.  BKE may accept any partial payment without prejudice to its right to recover the balance due or pursue any other remedy.

 

8.7                               Application of Payments.

 

BKE, in its sole discretion, may apply any payment received from Franchisee or from any other person on behalf of Franchisee against any past due indebtedness of Franchisee as BKE may see fit, notwithstanding any contrary instruction or designation given by Franchisee or any other person as to the application or imputation of any such payment.

 

23

 

8.8                               Currency.

 

All payments to BKE required under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with Article 16 of the DA, as if a reference therein to “this Agreement” were a reference to this Agreement, “BK” was a reference to BKE and a reference to the “Developer” was a reference to the Franchisee.

26

 

10.2                        Where the law permits an election regarding the treatment of any supply or deemed supply under this Agreement for the purposes of any value added or other tax chargeable thereon, Franchisee shall make or join in any such election as BKE may from time to time require.

Franchisee acknowledges that ownership of all right, title and interest in and to all elements of the Burger King System, including the Burger King Marks, and the design, décor and image of Burger King Restaurants is and shall remain vested solely in BKE or an Affiliate of BKE and that Franchisee has and will acquire no proprietary or other rights or claims in or to any element of the Burger King System or the Burger King Marks other than the license granted by this Agreement.  Franchisee disclaims any other right or interest in and to the Burger King System and the Burger King Marks and in the goodwill derived therefrom and will promptly if requested by BKE assign free of any charge to BKE any right or interest Franchisee may acquire or be deemed to acquire therein.  Franchisee acknowledges and agrees that all uses of the Burger King Marks and any element of the Burger King System shall inure to the benefit of BKE.

 

11.2                        Improvements and Translations.

 

Franchisee must notify BKE of any potential improvements or new features which it identifies as capable of benefiting the Burger King System.  Franchisee agrees that all right, title and interest in and to such potential improvements or new features are hereby or shall be transferred to, vest in and remain the exclusive property of BKE on and from their creation, without payment by BKE, and BKE and/or its Affiliates may evaluate, modify and introduce any such potential improvements or new features into the Burger King System for the benefit of BKE and other franchisees.  Franchisee shall do all things and sign all documents necessary to give effect to this clause 11.2.  BKE shall have no obligation to use the improvements or new features.

Franchisee may translate (or may have a third party translate) any material in the Burger King System into foreign languages only with the prior approval of BKE.  BKE may elect to undertake any requested translation itself. BKE reserves all rights to create derivative works, such as translations, from any part of the Burger King System.  Thus, if translations are made by Franchisee or by a third party on behalf of the Franchisee, then

 

27

 

BKE shall be entitled to the copyright in respect of all such translations. Franchisee acts in the name of BKE with regard to all translations arranged by Franchisee.  If an act in this respect on the part of Franchisee does not directly make BKE the owner of the copyright, then Franchisee shall assign or shall have the third party assign the copyright to such translations to BKE.  This assignment shall automatically take place at the latest by the date on which the translations are completed.  Franchisee must execute, and Franchisee shall procure that any third party it engages to execute, all documents, which are necessary to furnish BKE with the copyright ownership, including any deeds of assignment, affidavits or certificates.

 

11.3                        Confidential Information.

 

The term “Confidential Information” as used in this Agreement means all confidential and proprietary information of BKE or any of its Affiliates, including without limitation, BKE’s operations manuals, including the MOD Manual, and other standards, specifications and operating procedures, training material, marketing and business information, marketing strategy and marketing programs, plans and methods, food specifications, details of suppliers and distributors, and sources of supply and distribution, sales, contractual and financial arrangements of BKE and its Affiliates and service providers, and all other information and knowledge relating to the methods of operating and the functional know-how applicable to Burger King Restaurants and the Burger King System revealed by or at the direction of BKE or any of its Affiliates to Franchisee.

 

Franchisee acknowledges the uniqueness of the Burger King System and that BKE is making the Confidential Information available to Franchisee for the purpose of operating the Franchised Restaurant.  Franchisee agrees that it would be an unfair method of competition for Franchisee to use or duplicate or to allow others to use or duplicate any of the Confidential Information.  Franchisee, therefore, must:

 

(a)                                 at all times, both during the Term and following its termination or expiration, maintain the Confidential Information in strict confidence;

 

(b)                                 use the Confidential Information only in the operation of the Franchised Restaurant and other licensed Burger King Restaurants;

 

(c)                                  not disclose the Confidential Information to any person except those officers, employees and professional advisers of Franchisee or any Principal who have a specific need to have access to it for the operation of the Franchised Restaurant, who have been made aware of the terms on which it has been disclosed to Franchisee, and who agree to maintain its confidentiality.  Franchisee is responsible for any unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information by persons to whom Franchisee has disclosed it;

 

(d)                                 not permit anyone to reproduce, copy or exhibit any portion of the MOD Manual or any other Confidential Information received from BKE;

 

28

 

(e)                                  return, delete or destroy the Confidential Information received from BKE immediately upon receipt of a request from BKE to do so; and

 

(f)                                   at BKE’s request, procure each Principal, the Managing Owner and the Operations Director to execute an agreement similar in substance to this clause in a form acceptable to BKE and naming BKE as a third party beneficiary with the independent right to enforce such agreement.

 

11.4                        No Dilution.

 

Franchisee must not directly or indirectly, at any time during the Term or after the expiration of the Term, do or cause to be done any act or thing disputing, attacking or in any way diluting or tending to dilute the validity of and BKE’s right, title or interest in and to the Burger King System, including the Burger King Marks, and the goodwill associated therewith.  In particular, Franchise shall not directly or indirectly use any of the Burger King Marks in association with any goods or services except for as provided under the Burger King System and/or under this Agreement.  Franchisee shall not directly or indirectly use any variations or abbreviations or any words confusingly similar to any of the Burger King Marks.  Franchisee shall never apply to register or obtain protection for any trademark confusingly similar thereto with any relevant state bodies.

 

11.5                        Infringement.

 

Franchisee must immediately notify BKE of all infringements or imitations of the Burger King System, including the Burger King Marks, which come to Franchisee’s attention, or challenges to Franchisee’s use of any of the Burger King Marks, and BKE may exercise absolute discretion in deciding what action, if any, should be taken.  Franchisee must co-operate in the prosecution of any action to prevent the infringement, imitation, illegal use or misuse of the Burger King Marks or the Burger King System and agrees to be named as a party in any such action if so requested by BKE.  BKE will bear the reasonable legal expenses and costs incidental to Franchisee’s participation in such action except for the cost and expenses of Franchisee’s personal legal counsel if Franchisee elects to be represented by counsel of Franchisee’s own choosing.  Franchisee must not institute any legal action or other kind of proceeding based on the Burger King Marks or the Burger King System without the prior approval of BKE.

 

11.6                        Burger King Marks, Registered Users.

 

BKE represents that the marks specified in Schedule B are registered or applied for as stated in Schedule B but makes no expressed or implied warranty with respect to the current or continued validity of any of the Burger King Marks.  Franchisee accepts that Franchisee may conduct business utilizing some Burger King Marks which have not been registered, that registration may not be granted for the unregistered marks and that some of the Burger King Marks may be subject to use by third parties unauthorized by BKE.  Franchisee shall, upon request and at no expense to Franchisee, assist BKE in perfecting and obtaining registration of any unregistered Burger King Marks.

 

29

 

Whenever requested by BKE, Franchisee must enter into one or more Registered User Agreements authorizing and permitting the use of the Burger King Marks or any of them, and Franchisee agrees to comply with all the terms and conditions contained in such Registered User Agreements and to sign and execute any documents and/or do such things to assist BKE in making application on Franchisee’s behalf for registration of all necessary Registered User Agreements.  The provisions of any Registered User Agreements shall be consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.  Franchisee shall not attempt to register itself as a user of any of the Burger King Marks except in connection with an application filed by BKE.  Nothing in any Registered User Agreement shall be construed as giving Franchisee the right to transfer, sub-license or otherwise dispose of Franchisee’s right to use the Burger King Marks without BKE’s prior written consent.

 

11.7                        Franchisee Name.

 

In the adoption of a trade, corporate, partnership, fictitious or domain name, Franchisee must not use any of the Burger King Marks or any variations or abbreviations or any words confusingly similar to any of the Burger King Marks.

 

11.8                        Conduct of Business on the Internet.

 

Without the prior written consent of BKE, Franchisee must not conduct business or advertise for business on the Internet, except for the business in accordance with and as permitted by the DA.  BKE may conduct business and advertise for business on the Internet.  BKE may offer for sale products and services via the Internet and BKE is not liable to Franchisee for any money or benefits received by BKE or any of its Affiliates in connection with the sales.  Franchisee must co-operate with BKE in its conduct of business on the Internet including by advertising the domain name specified by BKE at the Location, and on all of Franchisee’s letterhead, business cards, invoices, statements and bags.

 

11.9                        Use of the Internet.

 

Franchisee must: (a) obtain BKE’s prior approval to any email address containing the Burger King Marks; (b) acknowledge at all times that ownership and control of BKE’s websites and domain names remain with BKE or an Affiliate of BKE; (c) not alter or allow to be altered the structure or layout of any of the websites used by BKE or any Affiliate of BKE under license from BKE; (d) not publish any information or material on the Internet or World Wide Web concerning the MOD Manual, Current Image or any other Confidential Information of BKE or its Affiliates without the prior consent of BKE; and (e) not interfere in the use of any of the websites used by BKE or any Affiliate under license from BKE and comply with all policies and procedures regarding website and use of the Internet that BKE publishes from time to time.  For the avoidance of doubt, this clause shall not restrict the publication by Franchisee of any information that is required to be disclosed pursuant to the applicable law or regulation or  information existing in the public domain by or through public use, publication, general knowledge or the like

 

30

 

(including through the IPO, as defined in the DA, without breach by Franchisee of its confidentiality obligations in respect thereof).

 

11.10                 Independent Contractor.

 

Franchisee is an independent contractor and is not an agent, partner, joint venturer or employee of BKE, and no express or implied fiduciary relationship exists between the parties.  Franchisee must not, nor attempt to, bind or obligate BKE in any way nor represent that Franchisee has any right to do so.  BKE has and will have no control over the terms and conditions of employment of Franchisee’s employees.

 

11.11                 Public Notice of Independence.

 

In all public records and in Franchisee’s relationship with other persons, on stationery, business forms and checks, Franchisee must indicate the independent ownership of the Franchised Restaurant and that Franchisee is a franchisee of BKE.  Franchisee must exhibit at the Franchised Restaurant in such places as may be designated by BKE, a notification that the Franchised Restaurant is operated by an independent operator under license from BKE.  BKE may prescribe the form of the indication and notification required by this clause 11.11.

 

11.12                 Registration of Agreement.

 

If local law requires the registration or recordation of this Agreement with any local government agency, administrative board or banking agency, Franchisee shall notify BKE and, unless BKE elects to do so itself (or through an agent), Franchisee shall effectuate such registration(s) or recordation(s) in strict compliance with local laws as soon as possible.  Any costs or expenses related to registration or recordation shall be the sole responsibility of Franchisee.

 

12.                               INSURANCE; INDEMNITY

 

12.1                        Insurance Required.

 

Prior to the Opening Date, Franchisee must procure and maintain in full force and effect during the Term, at its own expense, the following insurance policy or policies in respect of the Franchised Restaurant and the Location, or by reason of the construction, operation or occupancy of the Restaurant:

 

(a)                                 Comprehensive general liability insurance, including risks required to be covered by local law, and] including products liability and broad form contractual liability;

 

(b)                                 Automotive liability insurance, including bodily injury and property damage for all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles;

 

(c)                                  All risks property insurance for the full replacement value of the Franchised Restaurant which is sufficient to satisfy any co-insurance clause contained in the

 

31

 

policy, and where the Franchised Restaurant is a leasehold, rental insurance for at least 6 months’ rent;

 

(d)                                 Business interruption insurance to insure Franchisee for losses incurred as a result of a business interruption, such as fire, storm or other natural or man-made disaster, which causes the Franchised Restaurant to be closed for a period of time.  Such business interruption insurance policy will, at a minimum, provide a level of coverage to Franchisee sufficient for Franchisee to be able to pay to BKE, on a monthly basis, the estimated Royalties and Advertising Contributions that Franchisee would have been obligated to pay had the business interruption not occurred.  In the event a business interruption occurs, Franchisee is obligated to pay the estimated Royalties and Advertising Contributions as if the business interruption had not occurred.

 

The foregoing amount shall be calculated by taking the average monthly Gross Sales of the Franchised Restaurant over the 12 months immediately preceding the date of the business interruption (or in the case where the Franchised Restaurant has not been open for 12 months, Franchisee’s estimate of the average monthly Gross Sales) and multiplying such number first by the Royalty Percentage and then by the Advertising Percentage, and adding the two results together.

 

(e)                                  Statutory worker’s compensation insurance and employer’s liability insurance, as well as insurance covering disability benefits as may be required by local law;

 

(f)                                   Any other insurance policies BKE may reasonably require from time to time.

 

12.2                        Policy Requirements.

 

Each policy required under clause 12.1 must (a) name BKE and its Affiliates as additional insureds or its equivalent, (b) be written by an insurance company or companies as specified by BKE from time to time in the MOD Manual and on terms and conditions that are acceptable to BKE (including the amount of the deductible under each insurance policy), (c) include such coverages, policy limits and endorsements as may be specified from time to time by BKE in the MOD Manual or otherwise in writing, (d) provide that the insurers shall not have rights of subrogation or recourse against any additional insured or its equivalent; (e) provide that the policy cannot be cancelled without 30 days’ prior written notice to BKE, (f) insure the contractual liability of Franchisee under clause 12.5, and (g) include a cross liability provision enabling one insured person to claim against the insurer even if the party making the claim against that party is itself insured under that policy, and even where another insured would have been entitled to claim but is precluded for any reason, including by reason of being in breach of the policy.

 

12.3                        Evidence of Insurance.

 

Prior to the Opening Date and when requested during the Term, Franchisee must furnish to BKE certificates of insurance or its equivalent evidencing that the required insurance coverage is in effect pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The addition of BKE and

 

32

 

its Affiliates as additional insureds or its equivalent shall be effectuated through an endorsement to Franchisee’s insurance policies, without any language of limitation affecting coverage, and a copy of the endorsement must be provided to BKE or its designated agent.  All policies must be renewed, and a renewal certificate of insurance must be provided to BKE or its designated agent, prior to the expiration date of the policies.

 

12.4                        Other Insurance Requirements.

 

Franchisee must neither do nor omit to do any act which may render any of the insurance policies void or voidable.  BKE may give notice to Franchisee that a particular insurer is unacceptable to BKE, and Franchisee will use its best efforts to obtain alternative or additional insurance from an insurer acceptable to BKE prior to the expiration of the relevant policy and furnish to BKE certificates of insurance evidencing that such alternative or additional insurance coverage is in effect.  The insurance afforded by the policy or policies required under this Agreement shall be primary and not contributory with BKE’s insurance and shall not be limited in any way by reason of any insurance which may be maintained by BKE.  The amount of insurance as required in the MOD Manual or as contained in any of the policies shall not be construed to be a limitation of liability on the part of Franchisee.  The obligation of Franchisee to maintain insurance is separate and distinct from its obligation to indemnify BKE under the provisions of clause 12.5.

 

12.5                        Indemnity.

 

(a)                                 Franchisee is responsible for all Losses arising out of or in connection with the possession, ownership or operation of the Franchised Restaurant and the Location.

 

(b)                                 Franchisee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the BKE Indemnified Parties, with counsel fully acceptable to BKE, against and in respect of all Losses sustained or incurred by the BKE Indemnified Parties, or any one or more of them, based upon, arising out of or relating to (i) the possession, ownership or operation of the Franchised Restaurant and the Location, including, without limitation, any claim, action or demand for damages to property or for injury, illness or death of persons directly or indirectly resulting therefrom, (ii) any breach by Franchisee or failure to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or agreements set forth herein, (iii) the sale of securities of Franchisee or any Affiliate of Franchisee, including, without limitation, Losses related to any alleged violation of any securities laws, (iv) any deceptive or fraudulent activities, corporate malfeasance, negligence or misconduct in connection with the operation of Franchisee’s business; (v) taxes, charges, duties, government imposts or levies (including any fines or penalties) arising by reason of Franchisee’s possession, ownership or operation of the Franchised Restaurant; and (vi) any claim, action or demand of any kind or nature whatsoever brought by any employee, agent, subcontractor or independent contractor of Franchisee or any employee of any agent, subcontractor or independent contractor of Franchisee.

 

33

 

(c)                                  Franchisee’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement and continue for as long as the statute of limitations applicable to any such claim, action or demand remains in effect.

 

(d)                                 Franchisee’s obligation to indemnify and defend the BKE Indemnified Parties shall apply even in the event of the claim of negligence against BKE Indemnified Parties and regardless of whether the claim of negligence against BKE is as a result of the acts or omissions of BKE Indemnified Parties or that of Franchisee.

 

(e)                                  The right to indemnity hereunder shall exist notwithstanding that joint or several liability may be imposed upon the BKE Indemnified Parties by statute, ordinance, regulation or judicial decision. Franchisee’s obligation to defend and indemnify the BKE Indemnified Parties is separate and distinct from its obligation to maintain insurance, and is not limited by the amount of insurance required by BKE.

 

(f)                                   BKE agrees to advise Franchisee if it receives notice that a claim has been or will be filed with respect to a matter covered by this indemnity and provide Franchisee with such information as Franchisee may reasonably require to assume the defense of the matter.  Subject to subparagraph (h) below, Franchisee shall be given the opportunity to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably acceptable to BKE, and BKE shall have the right to participate in the defense of any claim or action against it which is assumed by Franchisee at BKE’s own cost and expense.

 

(g)                                  Franchisee shall not, without the written consent of the applicable BKE Indemnified Parties, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim, action or demand unless the terms of such settlement provide for (i) a full and unqualified release of the BKE Indemnified Parties, (ii) no admission of liability, fault or violation of law or contract and (iii) no relief other than payments of monetary damages that are not to be paid by the BKE Indemnified Parties.

 

(h)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) Franchisee elects not to defend the BKE Indemnified Parties by failing to notify such parties in writing that Franchisee will indemnify them from and against the entirety of any Losses that they may sustain or incur, based upon or arising out of the indemnifiable claims, within five (5) days after the BKE Indemnified Parties have given notice to Franchisee of such indemnifiable claims, (ii) a conflict of interest exists between Franchisee on the one hand and the BKE Indemnified Parties or the Burger King System on the other hand, as reasonably determined by BKE, (iii) the indemnifiable claim relates to the matters described in subparagraph (b)(iii) or (iv) of this clause 12.5, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the indemnifiable claims is, in the good faith judgment of BKE, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests or the reputation of BKE or the Burger King System, or (v) the indemnifiable claim involves multiple franchisees and BKE reasonably determines that consolidation of all such claims

 

34

 

would be in the best interests of BKE and the affected franchisees, including Franchisee (in which case any liability of Franchisee hereunder would be on a pro rata basis), the BKE Indemnified Parties shall have the right to defend the claim, action or demand by appropriate proceedings with sole power to direct and control such defense with respect to themselves, and Franchisee shall pay to the BKE Indemnified Parties all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by such parties in effecting such defense and any subsequent legal appeal, in addition to any sums which BKE may pay by reason of any settlement or judgment against the BKE Indemnified Parties.

 

13.                               [INTENTIONALLY DELETED.]

 

14.                               TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

 

14.1                        No Transfer or Change in Franchisee Without Consent.

 

Except for a Transfer or issuance of equity interests in Franchisee with the prior written consent of BKE or as permitted in the DA:

 

(a)                                 Franchisee must not, directly or indirectly (and must not permit an Affiliate of Franchisee to), Transfer (i) this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations in or under this Agreement; (ii) the Franchised Restaurant or the real estate relating to the Franchised Restaurant including, without limitation, substantially all of the assets or a material asset of the Franchised Restaurant; or (iii) any part of or beneficial interest in any of the above, and must not permit any such matter to arise by operation of law or otherwise;

 

(b)                                 a Principal (including the Co-Debtor) must not, directly or indirectly (and Franchisee must not permit a Principal to) Transfer 25% or more of its equity interests in Franchisee or in any corporate Principal in any single transaction or series of related transactions;

 

(c)                                  Franchisee must not, directly or indirectly: (i) issue any new equity interests in Franchisee (except the issuance of equity interests to the owners listed in Schedule A in proportion to their existing equity interests); (ii) permit any reconstruction, reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation, amalgamation or other material change in the structure or Control of Franchisee or in any corporate Principal; or (iii) subcontract or otherwise delegate the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement;

 

(d)                                 equity interests of Franchisee may not be Transferred by Franchisee or any Principal unless, in addition to obtaining the prior consent of BKE as required above, the transferor complies with all policies and guidelines BKE may then have in effect for approval of a proposed distribution of securities of franchisees.  All materials required by applicable law for or used in connection with any direct or indirect offer or sale of securities by Franchisee shall be submitted to BKE for review and consent, prior to their filing or use.  Any review by BKE of the offering materials or the information included therein will be conducted solely for

 

35

 

the benefit of BKE to determine conformance with BKE’s internal policies, and not to benefit or protect any other person.  No investor should interpret such review by BKE as an approval, endorsement, acceptance or adoption of any representation, warranty, covenant or projection contained in the materials reviewed and the offering documents and any subscription agreement to be executed by investors shall include legends and statements as BKE may specify, including but not limited to legends and statements which disclaim BKE’s liability for, or involvement in, the transaction described in the offering documents;

 

(e)                                  Franchisee shall notify BKE in writing of any proposed Transfer of an interest referred to in this clause 14.1 before the proposed Transfer is to take place, and shall provide such information and documentation relating to the proposed Transfer as BKE may reasonably require;

 

Any Transfer described in this clause 14.1 attempted without compliance with the terms hereof shall be void and of no effect and shall constitute a material act of default hereunder and good cause for termination of this Agreement.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, while the DA is in effect, the provisions contained therein shall control with regards to any Transfer (including issuance) of equity interests and the provisions of this Article 14 shall only apply with regards to other Transfers, except for clause 14.2(l), which shall apply to all Transfers, provided that a Transfer Fee shall only be due upon a Transfer of equity interests if there is a Transfer of all of the equity interests in Franchisee, the Developer or any Principal to a third party (and in this case, such Transfer Fee shall be US$10,000 per Franchised Restaurant, not to exceed US$1,000,000).

 

14.2                        Conditions for Consent.

 

In determining whether or not to grant approval to a proposed Transfer of any interest referred to in clause 14.1, BKE may consider any relevant matter in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, the protection of the Burger King System, the protection of BKE and its Affiliates, and the orderly and proper operation and development of other Burger King Restaurants in the market which may be directly or indirectly impacted by the proposed Transfer.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, BKE may impose or consider the following conditions for granting its consent to the proposed Transfer, as BKE may deem appropriate in its sole discretion:

 

(a)                                 all obligations of Franchisee to BKE and its Affiliates, whether arising under this Agreement or otherwise (including, without limitation, all monetary obligations and all repair, maintenance, refurbishment and upgrade obligations) must be satisfied on or before the Transfer Date;

 

(b)                                 all obligations of Franchisee to third parties arising out of the conduct of the Franchised Restaurant including, but not limited to, obligations owed to suppliers and distributors must be satisfied on or before the Transfer Date;

 

36

 

(c)                                  Franchisee and its Affiliates are not in default of any provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement with BKE or its Affiliates;

 

(d)                                 the Transferee (or, if applicable, such owners of the Transferee as BKE may request), in BKE’s sole judgment, satisfies all of BKE’s business standards and requirements; has the aptitude and ability to operate the Franchised Restaurant; has adequate financial resources and capital to do so; and must complete and be approved through BKE’s standard franchisee application and selection process including satisfactorily demonstrating to BKE that it meets the financial, character, organizational, managerial, credit, operational, and legal criteria and such other criteria and conditions as BKE shall then be applying in considering applications for new franchises.  The Transferee must meet with representatives of BKE at its corporate offices or such other location as may be reasonably requested by BKE.  Without limiting the grounds on which it will be reasonable for BKE to withhold its consent to any Transfer, BKE may withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer where: (i) the Transferee or any Affiliate of the Transferee carries on activities of a kind described in section 17 (Restrictive Covenant), or (ii) in the sole judgment of BKE, the Transfer would result in the Transferee having a disproportionately large ownership of Burger King Restaurants compared with the number of Burger King Restaurants operated by all franchisees in the Burger King System in [insert name of country];

 

(e)                                  Transfers to existing franchisees in the Burger King System may be subject to conditions materially different from or in addition to conditions with respect to other Transfers.  BKE reserves the right to disapprove a Transfer based upon (without limitation) any of the following considerations, in BKE’s sole discretion: (i) the current geographic scope and proximity of the prospective Transferee’s operations; (ii) the physical and operational condition, opportunities and obligations present in the prospective Transferee’s existing market(s) and Burger King Restaurants; (iii) the penetration level of Burger King Restaurants in the prospective Transferee’s existing market(s); and (iv) the period of time since the prospective Transferee last acquired Burger King Restaurants and the extent to which the prospective Transferee properly integrated those Burger King Restaurants into its organization and resolved issues arising from or related to such previous acquisition;

 

(f)                                   the form, terms and conditions in the Transfer agreement must be acceptable to BKE;

 

(g)                                  the Transferee (and such other entities as BKE may require as principals and co-debtors) must execute BKE’s then current form of franchise agreement for a term equal to the remainder of the Term except that the Royalty and Advertising Contribution shall be the same as set out in this Agreement, no further franchise fee will be payable, and the timing for required remodeling shall be as under this Agreement or as otherwise agreed;

 

37

 

(h)                                 the Transferee and such owners of the corporate Transferee as BKE may request, must execute a guarantee of the Transferee’s obligations to BKE and its Affiliates according to article 111 of the Swiss Code of Obligations.  For the purposes of determining compliance, BKE shall have the right to examine and approve the form and content of all governing documents of the corporate Transferee;

 

(i)                                     if applicable, Franchisee must execute all documents necessary to cancel the entries of Franchisee as a registered user of the Burger King Marks and shall co-operate with BKE in effecting the cancellation of entries of Franchisee as a registered user with the relevant registry;

 

(j)                                    if applicable, the Transferee must enter into any registered user agreements required by BKE authorizing and permitting the use of the Burger King Marks;

 

(k)                                 the Transferee’s Managing Owner and Operations Director and/or such other relevant persons as determined by BKE must have satisfactorily completed, at their expense, BKE’s training program for new franchisees on or before the date of Transfer;

 

(l)                                     Franchisee must pay the Transfer Fee to BKE before the Transfer Date.  The Transfer Fee is payable in respect of any Transfer, whether by Franchisee or a Principal;

 

(m)                             BKE is satisfied, in its sole business judgment, that the Franchised Restaurant and the consummation of the contemplated transaction(s) will create sufficient cash flow after payment of debt service and other amounts necessary for reinvestment in the business for repairs or remodeling the Franchised Restaurant and Location, to permit the prospective transferee to meet its financial commitments generally as well as the prospective transferee’s obligations under this Agreement;

 

(n)                                 if Franchisee or any Affiliate proposes to Transfer only the real estate at the Franchised Restaurant, BKE is satisfied, in its sole business judgment, that Franchisee and its Affiliates, on a consolidated basis, will meet the financial ratios and standards BKE applies to newly developed Burger King Restaurants.

 

(o)                                 such legal documentation as is required by BKE must be executed, including a general release executed by Franchisee and each Co-Debtor, in a form satisfactory to BKE, of any and all claims against BKE, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees; and

14.3                        Right of First Refusal.

 

(a)                                 Subject to clause 14.3(c) below, if Franchisee or any Principal receives an acceptable bona fide offer from a third party to directly or indirectly purchase the

 

38

 

Franchised Restaurant and/or the Location, or any portion thereof or interest therein or any asset material to the operation of the Franchised Restaurant or any equity interest in Franchisee (individually and collectively, the “Assets”), Franchisee must give BKE written notice (“Offer Notice”) offering to sell the Assets to BKE or its assignee at the same purchase price and otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions and setting out the name and address of the prospective purchaser, the price and other terms of the offer, a copy of the proposed sale agreement for the Assets executed by both Franchisee and purchaser, together with such other information and documentation as BKE may request in order to evaluate the offer, including, but not limited to, all exhibits, copies of real estate purchase agreements, proposed security agreements and related promissory notes, assignment documents, leases, deeds, surveys, title insurance commitments and policies and copies of all title exceptions and any other information BKE may request, a franchise application completed by the prospective purchaser, references, and the opportunity to interview the prospective purchaser and/or its officers.

 

(b)                                 If the consideration offered by the third party is not in cash, Franchisee must offer to sell the Assets to BKE at the fair market value, which, failing agreement between BKE and Franchisee, will be determined by an independent expert mutually agreed to by the parties (if the parties cannot agree on such an expert, then the chairperson of the Treuhandkammer (the Swiss professional organisation of auditors) shall finally appoint such independent expert), and the offer will be deemed to have been made on the date the fair market value is agreed or determined.

 

(c)                                  A bona fide offer from a third party includes any Transfer consolidation, merger or any other transaction in which legal or beneficial ownership of the franchise granted by this Agreement or any equity interests held by a Principal, is vested in any person other than Franchisee or that Principal, except that a Principal who is not a Co-Debtor may Transfer up to 25% of its ownership interests in Franchisee without complying with the terms and conditions of this clause 14.3.

 

(d)                                 BKE or its assignee has the right and the option, exercisable within 30 days from receipt of an Offer Notice, and all other requested documentation and information required under clause 14.3(a) (“Offer Period”), to accept the offer.  Silence on the part of BKE shall constitute rejection of the offer.

 

(e)                                  BKE or its assignee may accept the offer contained in the Offer Notice by giving notice of acceptance to Franchisee before the expiration of the Offer Period (“Acceptance Notice”).

 

(f)                                   The Acceptance Notice may contain terms which vary from the terms of the Offer Notice if the terms upon which BKE or its assignee agrees to buy the Assets are not commercially less favorable to Franchisee than those contained in the Offer Notice.  Further, the Acceptance Notice may reject any provision or condition that is inconsistent with Franchisee’s obligations under this Agreement or the effect of

 

39

 

which would be to increase the cost to, or otherwise change the economic terms imposed on, BKE or its assignee, as a result of the substitution of BKE or its assignee (as applicable) for the prospective purchaser.  Any such provision or condition is void and unenforceable against BKE.

 

(g)                                  If Franchisee receives the Acceptance Notice during the Offer Period, Franchisee must sell and BKE or its assignee must purchase the Assets upon the terms and conditions contained in the Offer Notice as such terms may be varied by the Acceptance Notice.

 

(h)                                 Acceptance will constitute a binding contract and BKE or its assignee and Franchisee shall complete the sale and purchase with all reasonable speed, subject to (i) all of the closing conditions set forth in the proposed sale agreement; (ii) obtaining any necessary consents and estoppels from landlords or others which Franchisee must use best efforts to obtain; and (iii) satisfaction with the results of a due diligence investigation of the Assets, as conducted by BKE or its assignee over a period of not less than 60 days, commencing on the date of the Acceptance Notice.

 

(i)                                     If BKE rejects Franchisee’s offer to sell the Assets or any portion thereof, as the case may be, Franchisee may conclude the sale to the purchaser named in the Offer on terms not more favorable to the purchaser than those offered to BKE, subject to obtaining the prior consent of BKE as required under this Agreement.

 

(j)                                    If the sale to the purchaser has not been completed within 90 days of obtaining BKE’s consent, or such longer time as may be reasonably required to obtain the consent of any landlord or other person, BKE may at any time thereafter withdraw its consent to the Transfer by giving written notice to Franchisee.  If Franchisee thereafter wishes to proceed with the sale of the Assets on the same commercial terms to the same prospective purchaser, Franchisee is not required comply with this clause 14.3 (Right of First Refusal) but must obtain BKE’s prior consent to the Transfer.

 

(k)                                 The election by BKE not to exercise its right of first refusal as to any Offer will not affect its right of first refusal as to any subsequent Offer.

 

(l)                                     If the proposed sale of the Assets includes assets of Franchisee not related to the operation of Burger King Restaurants, BKE or its assignee may, at its option, elect to purchase only the assets related to the operation of Burger King Restaurants and an equitable purchase price will be allocated to each asset included in the proposed sale.

 

(m)                             Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of the interests described in this clause 14.3 without first giving BKE the right of first refusal as described above shall be void and of no force and effect, and shall constitute a material act of default hereunder and deemed good cause for termination of this Agreement.

 

40

 

14.4                        Continuing Liability.

 

In the event of a Transfer of this Agreement or any interest in this Agreement or the Franchised Restaurant, or the merger, consolidation or reorganization of Franchisee or a Transfer of all or any part of a Co-Debtor’s interest in the Franchisee or the Franchised Restaurant (hereinafter collectively, the “Interest”), and taking into account the Franchisee’s and Co-Debtor’s own and direct interest in the Transfer, which they hereby acknowledge, Franchisee and/or the Co-Debtor (hereinafter collectively, “Transferor”) shall remain personally jointly and severally liable (as principal debtor to the extent of a cumulative assumption of debts (“kumulativer Schuldbeitritt”) in accordance with article 143 ff. of the Swiss Code of Obligations and not as a guarantor according to article 111 or articles 492 ff. and article 496, respectively, of the Swiss Code of Obligations) and BKE is entitled in its sole discretion to request from the Transferor partial or full performance for all Royalties, Advertising Contributions and other payments which come due under this Agreement during the periods of time hereinafter described, in accordance with the following:

 

(a)                                 If Transferor has transferred the Interest pursuant to a contract of sale which provides that installment payments of the purchase price are to be made to the Transferor or the Transferor’s designee, the liability of the Transferor shall continue for the longer of (i) twelve (12) months from the date of the Transfer; and (ii) such time as the purchase price has been paid in full; provided, however, that after the first anniversary of such Transfer, the liability of the Transferor shall be limited to the total amount of the original installment payments to be made under the contract for sale or other instrument evidencing the debt.  If the holder of the note or other evidence of the debt deems the obligation satisfied, Transferor will simultaneously be released from liability to BKE under this Agreement for future Royalties and Advertising Contributions only.  Any contract of sale which provides for installment payments shall also provide that such payments are subordinated to the payment of Royalties and Advertising Contributions under this Agreement and that the note or other evidence of the debt shall not be assignable by the holder or payee.

 

(b)                                 If Transferor has transferred the Interest pursuant to a contract of sale which provides for cash payment in full at closing, upon payment in full of the purchase price, the Transferor’s liability shall continue for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of Transfer, and shall be limited to the amount of Royalties and Advertising Contributions which accrue during such period and are not paid by Transferee.  Upon payment of such amount, Transferor shall be automatically released from any continuing liability under this Agreement for future Royalties and Advertising Contributions.

 

14.5                        Right of Re-Entry.

(b)                                 At the time of proposed re-entry, the Transferor must be in good standing and be able to satisfy BKE’s then current franchise approval criteria and expansion approval criteria and deliver to BKE appropriate application forms and such other documents and agreements as BKE may require evidencing the assumption by Transferor of the rights and obligations for the remaining term of the Franchise Agreement.

 

(c)                                  At the time of re-entry, BKE must have been paid all sums past due and owing under this Agreement and any agreement related to the Franchised Restaurant, as well as any past due sums paid by BKE related to products or supplies sold by BKE for use in the Franchised Restaurant, including without limitation, any pre- and post-petition amounts due from any franchisee with regard to the Franchised Restaurant which is the subject of a proceeding under the bankruptcy laws or any similar law affecting the rights of creditors generally.

 

(d)                                 Transferor must take possession of and acquire control and dominion over substantially all of the tangible real and personal property associated with the Franchised Restaurant.

During the period of time in which Transferor remains liable pursuant to clause 14.4 above, BKE shall use reasonable efforts to send simultaneous copies of notices of default under this Franchise Agreement to Transferor and Transferee.  Transferor shall use reasonable efforts to send simultaneous copies of notices of default to BKE and Transferee under any installment payment due to Transferor from Transferee.  Failure of either party to provide copies of the notices of default shall not be an event of default under the terms of this Franchise Agreement.  Transferor shall be afforded the same opportunity to cure as is set forth in the notice of default.

 

14.7                        Acquisition of Additional Franchises.

 

Franchisee agrees that, prior to acquiring any other Burger King Restaurant owned or operated by another Burger King franchisee, which may be offered to it for sale or which it may offer to purchase, such franchise will first be offered to BKE on the same terms, conditions and price in accordance with clause 14.3.

 

14.8                        Death or Mental Incapacity.

 

Upon the death or mental incapacity of a Principal, Franchisee shall procure that the executor, administrator, or personal representative of such Principal shall Transfer the Principal’s interest in Franchisee to a third party approved by BKE within a reasonable

 

42

 

time after the Principal’s death or mental incapacity.  Such Transfers, including, without limitation, Transfers by devise or inheritance, shall be subject to BKE’s right of first refusal under clause 14.3, or, if such right is not exercised, the same conditions as may be imposed on any Transfer under this section 14.  In the case of Transfer by devise or inheritance, if the heir is not approved or there is no heir, Franchisee shall procure that the executor shall use best efforts to Transfer the Principal’s interest to another party approved by BKE within 24 months from the date of the Principal’s death.  If the conveyance of the Principal’s interest to a party acceptable to BKE has not taken place within the 24-month period, Franchisee shall procure that BKE shall have the option to purchase the Principal’s interest at fair market value.

 

14.9                        No Waiver.

 

BKE’s consent to a Transfer shall not constitute a waiver of any claims it may have against the Transferor, nor shall it be deemed a waiver of BKE’s right to demand exact compliance with any of the terms of this Agreement by the Transferor or Transferee.

 

15.                               DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

 

15.1                        Acts of Default.

 

If an act of default hereunder is committed by Franchisee and Franchisee fails to cure the default after any required notice and within the applicable cure period, then, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies BKE may have under this Agreement, any other agreement, at law or in equity, BKE may terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Franchisee at any time after the occurrence of any of the acts described below, notwithstanding the right to terminate this Agreement without notice at any time by either party for material breach or any other event which constitutes good cause.  The applicable cure period is described below, but if a cure period is not specifically mentioned, it shall be 30 days.  In some instances, as identified below, no cure period is allowed.  If any applicable law or rule requires a longer cure period than that provided herein, then the period required under the law or rule shall be substituted for the requirements herein.  The following (without limitation) are material acts of default and are good cause for termination:

 

(a)                                 Franchisee fails to maintain or operate the Franchised Restaurant in accordance with the requirements of the Burger King System, including the MOD Manual and all other operating standards and specifications established from time to time by BKE or its Affiliates as to service, cleanliness, health and sanitation.  Franchisee shall have 5 days after notice to cure the default.

 

(b)                                 Franchisee’s default under the previous clause is deemed by BKE, in its reasonable discretion, to be of a nature so serious as to threaten the immediate safety or health of customers or employees of Franchisee or the general public.  In such case, Franchisee will, after verbal notice from BKE to Franchisee, immediately cease operation of the Franchised Restaurant until such time as the serious health or safety violation is rectified to BKE’s satisfaction.  Failure to

 

43

 

close the Franchised Restaurant under these circumstances shall be an additional act of default.  If this act of default occurs, Franchisee shall have no opportunity to cure, and BKE shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon notice to Franchisee but with no opportunity to cure.

 

(c)                                  Franchisee sells any product which does not conform to BKE’s specifications or is not approved by BKE.  Franchisee shall have 5 days after notice to cure the default.

 

(d)                                 Franchisee fails to sell products designated by BKE as required to be sold in the Franchised Restaurant.  Franchisee shall have 5 days after notice to cure the default; provided, however, if for reasons beyond the control of Franchisee, Franchisee is unable to obtain such products within the cure period, the cure period shall be extended for a reasonable period of time determined by BKE provided Franchisee initiates and actively pursues substantial and continuing action within the cure period to cure such default.

 

(e)                                  Franchisee fails to install and use equipment or décor required by FRANCHISOR or uses equipment, uniforms or décor not approved by BKE.

 

(f)                                   Franchisee fails to maintain the Franchised Restaurant in good condition and repair, or fails to make all improvements, alterations or remodeling as may be determined by BKE to be reasonably necessary to reflect the Current Image.

 

(g)                                  Franchisee or any Co-Debtor fails to pay when due Royalties or Advertising Contributions or any other amount required to be paid under this Agreement or any other agreement with BKE or its Affiliates, Franchisee shall have 10 days after notice to cure the default.

 

(h)                                 Franchisee is insolvent, bankrupt, commits an act of insolvency or bankruptcy, files a petition or application seeking any type of relief under any bankruptcy code or any state insolvency or similar law affecting the rights of creditors or is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, or someone files a petition to have the Franchisee adjudicated a bankrupt and such application or petition is not removed in 90 days after it is filed or makes an arrangement with its creditors or if any distress or execution is levied on Franchisee’s goods or if an administrator, liquidator, trustee or receiver is appointed over the whole or any part of Franchisee’s undertaking or application is made for any such appointment to be made, or being a partnership Franchisee is dissolved, or if any other steps are taken under any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, or moratorium laws from time to time in force, including any moratorium or if Franchisee takes any action to liquidate or wind up its operations.

 

(i)                                     Franchisee ceases to occupy the Location.  Franchisee shall have 5 days after notice to cure the default.  If the loss of possession is attributable to the proper exercise of governmental powers, Franchisee may, with BKE’s consent and

 

44

 

subject to availability, relocate to other premises in the same market area for the balance of the Term.

 

(j)                                    Franchisee abandons the Franchised Restaurant or the franchise relationship without the prior consent of BKE.  Franchisee shall have 5 days after notice to cure the default.  Franchisee shall be deemed to have abandoned the franchise relationship if the Franchised Restaurant ceases to operate, except as permitted under clause 3.2, whether the Franchised Restaurant remains closed, vacant or is converted to another use.

 

(k)                                 A final judgment against Franchisee (including a final judgment in favor of BKE or any of its Affiliates) remains unsatisfied for 30 days (unless an appeal bond has been filed), or a levy of execution is made upon the license granted by this Agreement or upon any property used in the Franchised Restaurant or at the Location, and the levy is not discharged within 5 days.

 

(l)                                     Franchisee or the Managing Owner is convicted of an offense punishable by a term of imprisonment in excess of 1 year, or an offense, regardless of how punishable, for which a material element is fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude.  If this act of default occurs, Franchisee shall have no opportunity to cure and BKE shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon notice to Franchisee.

 

(m)                             Outstanding amounts owed by Franchisee in a total of more than EURO 50,000 of undisputed bills, invoices or statements from suppliers of goods or services to the Franchised Restaurant and lenders, landlords or other vendors of the Franchisee.

 

(n)                                 Franchisee acts in any fraudulent or unethical manner in connection with the operation of the Franchised Restaurant, including if Franchisee knowingly makes any materially false statement in connection with any report of Gross Sales or in any other report, account or financial statement required under this Agreement, or if Franchisee knowingly made false or misleading statements in order to obtain execution of this Agreement by BKE.  If this act of default occurs, Franchisee shall have no opportunity to cure, and BKE shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon notice to Franchisee.

(q)                                 If any Transfer or other event occurs which is in violation of or inconsistent with section 14 (Transfer Restrictions) or section 19 (The Co-Debtor and Principal) including, without limitation, a change of Control of Franchisee which occurs by means of a tender offer for publicly-traded securities of Franchisee or at the

If this act of default occurs, Franchisee shall have no opportunity to cure, and BKE shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon notice to Franchisee.

 

(s)                                   Franchisee denies BKE the right to inspect the Franchised Restaurant or to examine its books and records or to audit the sales and accounting records of the Franchised Restaurant. Franchisee shall have 5 days after notice to cure the default.

An act of default under this clause does not require any criminal action to be brought against Franchisee, the Managing Owner or the Operations Director.  If this act of default occurs, BKE shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, effective immediately upon notice to Franchisee but with no opportunity to cure, or (ii) if Franchisee or any Affiliate thereof, any Principal or Affiliate thereof, or any board member or senior officer of Franchisee or any Affiliate thereof, or any Principal or Affiliate thereof, engages in any conduct which is materially deleterious to, or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the reputation of Franchisee, any Principal, such Affiliate, BKE or the Burger King brand, and the senior officer or board member is not removed from his or her position within thirty (30) Days after BKE notifies Franchisee in writing thereof (it being understood that such person may not be reinstated without BKE’s prior written approval).

(x)                                 Franchisee repeatedly breaches any obligation under this Agreement.  If BKE intends to terminate this Agreement under this clause, BKE shall provide notice to Franchisee that BKE considers that Franchisee has repeatedly breached this Agreement, and that BKE intends to terminate this Agreement if Franchisee breaches the Agreement at any time after said notice.  If, after receiving such notice, Franchisee subsequently breaches this Agreement in any manner, Franchisee shall have no opportunity to cure such breach, and BKE shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Franchisee.

 

(y)                                 Franchisee or any Affiliate of Franchisee materially breaches any obligation under any other agreement to which BKE or a BKE Affiliate is a party regardless of whether entered into by Franchisee before or after the date of this Agreement (including without limitation, any other franchise agreement, development agreement or any such agreement to which any other person is a party).

against any amount payable by Franchisee, Franchisee Affiliate or any Co-Debtor to BKE.

(e)                                  If any act of default occurs, in addition and without prejudice to its rights under this clause 15.5 or any other rights, BKE has the right but not the obligation to take whatever actions it considers necessary to remedy the default, at Franchisee’s sole risk and cost (including administrative costs and staff time) and without compensation to Franchisee, including by entering the Franchised Restaurant to remove and destroy unapproved or obsolete signs, advertising or promotional material, slogans or material on which Burger King Marks appear.

 

(f)                                   Franchisee acknowledges that BKE may seek an injunction or similar remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement for which damages may not be adequate compensation.

The failure or delay on the part of BKE to exercise any right or option given to it under this Agreement, or to insist on strict compliance by Franchisee with the terms of this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of any terms or conditions of this Agreement with respect to any other or subsequent breach, nor a waiver by BKE of its right at any time thereafter to require exact and strict compliance with all the terms of this Agreement.

If the validity of the Agreement requires the approval, registration or notification (hereinafter “Approvals”) of a governmental or other supervisory authority in the country where the Franchise Restaurant shall be located or under any other applicable law , then the effective date of the Agreement shall be the date on which all such Approvals are on hand. Franchisee shall exercise its best efforts to help obtain such Approvals (if required) on behalf of BKE and/or its Affiliates. The costs of such Approvals shall be borne by Franchisee.

 

50

18.3                        Governing Law.

 

This Agreement shall be interpreted under and governed by the substantive law of Switzerland without regard to conflict of law or choice of law principles that may direct the application of the law of any jurisdiction.  The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods of 11 April 1980 (“Vienna Convention”) is hereby excluded from application to this Agreement.

 

18.4                        Arbitration.

 

Any and all disputes, controversies, differences or claim arising from or related to this Agreement (the “Dispute”), or the interpretation, making, performance, breach or termination thereof or transactions conducted pursuant to the rights and duties granted by this Agreement shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules.

 

The arbitral tribunal may only award damages as provided for under the terms of this Agreement. Any award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding on the parties to the arbitration and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitral tribunal shall award the prevailing party its attorneys’ fees and costs, arbitration administrative fees, panel member fees and costs, and any other costs associated with the arbitration. Application may be made to any court of competent jurisdiction for judicial recognition of the award and an order of enforcement.  The parties hereby waive any right to appeal from any award insofar as such waiver can validly be made under applicable law and agree that UN Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the “New York Convention”) is applicable to the enforcement of any award.

 

The parties further waive, to the extent permitted under applicable law, any right that they may have under any law applicable to this Agreement or any party hereto to object to arbitration hereunder on the basis that such an agreement was not entered into after a dispute had arisen. Arbitration under this clause shall be the exclusive method for resolving the disputes covered hereby, and no party to this Agreement shall commence any action or proceeding in any court with respect to any such dispute except (i) to enforce this clause; (ii) to obtain provisional judicial assistance in aid of arbitration under this clause; or (iii) to enforce an arbitral award made in accordance with this clause.

The seat of the arbitration shall be in Zug, Switzerland.

In the event that a translation of the Agreement is made, the English version prevails.

 

18.6                        Severability.

 

BKE and Franchisee agree that if any provisions of this Agreement may be construed in more than one way, one or more of which would render the provision illegal or otherwise voidable or unenforceable, and one of which would render the provision valid and enforceable, such provision shall have the meaning which renders it valid and enforceable.  The language of all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to its fair meaning and not strictly against any party. It is the intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent and should any court or other public agency determine that any provision herein is not enforceable as written in this Agreement, the parties shall use their best endeavors to amend it so that it is enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies of the jurisdiction in which the enforcement is sought.  The provisions of this Agreement are severable and this Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced as if all completely invalid or unenforceable provisions were not contained in the Agreement, and partially valid and enforceable provisions shall be enforced to the extent that they are valid and enforceable.

 

If the validity of the Agreement requires that it be registered with a governmental or other supervisory authority and in case of the refusal of the registration, the parties will undertake all reasonable measures in order to amend the Agreement in a way, required and/or recommended by respective registration authorities in order to perform the registration of the Agreement or split versions thereof.

Any Transfer or issuance of equity interests in a Co-Debtor or Principal (except the issuance of new equity interests to the owners listed in Schedule A in proportion to their existing holdings) and any variation of rights attaching to any such equity interests shall be subject to BKE’s prior approval.

20.                               CO-DEBTOR’S LIABILITY; INDEMNITY

 

In consideration of BKE entering into this Agreement, each Co-Debtor unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to the terms, conditions and obligations set out in this section 20.

 

55

 

20.1                        Joint and Several Liability of Co-Debtor.

 

Each Co-Debtor hereby represents and warrants that it has a direct interest in the operations of Franchisee and agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for all claims which BKE has against Franchisee arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement with BKE. Each Co-Debtor shall be jointly and severally liable as principal debtor to the extent of a cumulative assumption of debts (“kumulativer Schuldbeitritt”) in accordance with article 143 ff. of the Swiss Code of Obligations and not as a guarantor according to article 111 or articles 492 ff. and article 496, respectively, of the Swiss Code of Obligations.  Each Co-Debtor shall remain liable notwithstanding any time or indulgence given to the Franchisee, any variation of this Agreement agreed between BKE and the Franchisee, and/or any waiver of any of its rights by BKE and/or any settlement agreed between BKE and the Franchisee in respect of any matter under the Agreement. BKE is entitled in its sole discretion to request from any joint and several Co-Debtor partial or full performance. Each Co-Debtor remains bound until the whole claim is satisfied.

 

20.2                        Indemnity.

 

As a separate and principal obligation, each Co-Debtor hereby jointly, severally, irrevocably and unconditionally indemnifies BKE and agrees at all times hereafter to keep BKE indemnified from and against all claims, actions, damages, liabilities, costs, charges, losses, expenses or payments suffered, paid or incurred by BKE arising directly or indirectly out of any act, neglect, default or delay by Franchisee or any of its employees, agents, officers or customers in connection with the Franchised Restaurant or any breach or non-observance by Franchisee of any of the obligations or conditions contained or implied in this Agreement which Franchisee is required to perform or observe.

 

This indemnity shall continue and each Co-Debtor shall remain liable to BKE under this indemnity notwithstanding that as a consequence of such negligence or breach or non-observance BKE has exercised any of its rights under this Agreement, including its rights of termination and notwithstanding that this joint and several liability may be unenforceable in whole or part for any reason.

 

20.3                        Nature of the Joint and Several Liability.

 

For the avoidance of any doubt, this clause 20 is: (i) a principal obligation of the Co-Debtor and is not ancillary or collateral to any other right or obligation nor is its operation subject to any condition precedent; (ii) independent of, in addition to and not in substitution for or affected by any other rights which BKE may have and may be enforced without first having recourse to any other rights or remedies; (iii) enforceable whether or not BKE has made demand on Franchisee or given notice to Franchisee, or taken any other steps against Franchisee or any other person; and (iv) enforceable against any party who has signed the Agreement, notwithstanding that it has not been signed by or may not be enforceable against any other party. BKE is under no obligation to notify

 

56

 

any Co-Debtor of any default by Franchisee, or to marshal in favor of any Co-Debtor any security, funds or assets which it holds or may be entitled to receive or have a claim on.

 

20.4                        Continuing Obligations.

 

For the sake of clarification,

 

(a)                                 this section 20 is a continuing obligation, which shall cover all monies, obligations and conditions arising under or in relation to this Agreement at any time during or after the termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until all of the obligations of Franchisee under this Agreement have been performed.  To the maximum extent legally permissible, no payment received or receivable by BKE is able to be avoided under any law relating to insolvency or otherwise, until this section 20 has been finally discharged by BKE, and notwithstanding any intermediate satisfaction of any such matter and notwithstanding any moratorium, receivership, liquidation or any similar proceedings with regard to Franchisee;

 

(b)                                 this clause 20 shall remain valid and enforceable notwithstanding: (i) any time, concession or indulgence given to BKE; (ii) any variation, assignment, novation or termination of this Agreement or any other contract or arrangement between BKE and Franchisee or Affiliate; (iii) any renewal, compounding, compromise, abandonment, relinquishment, release or waiver of any of the rights of BKE against Franchisee or any Co-Debtor or by any neglect to enforce those rights; (iv) any settlement agreed between BKE and Franchisee and/or any Co-Debtor in respect of any matter covered by this clause 20 including in the framework of a court approved creditor’s arrangement; (v) any judgment obtained by BKE against Franchisee; (vi) any delay, mistake, act or omission by BKE whether it prejudices a Co-Debtor or not; (vii) the death, incapacity, bankruptcy, insolvency, winding up or change either in the name or constitution (notwithstanding any provision of the law relating to partnerships) of BKE, Franchisee or any Co-Debtor; (viii) the taking, discharge, impairment or release wholly or partially of any additional or substituted security or indemnity in respect of Franchisee’s obligations to BKE or BKE’s enforcing or not enforcing any such security or indemnity; or (ix) any other act, matter or thing which under the law relating to sureties would or might but for this provision release Co-Debtor from their obligations under this clause 20; and

 

(c)                                  any provision of this clause 20 which is unenforceable for any reason in any jurisdiction will be ineffective in that jurisdiction to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating any of the remaining provisions of this clause 20 or affecting the enforceability or validity of this clause 20 in any other jurisdiction.

 

57

The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where the failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchasers regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, is true and correct in all material respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the 

statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole, and in light of disclosures in the SEC Reports, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

(z) Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder: (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date. All outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments is set forth on Schedule 3.1(z).

There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for 

any such claim.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary, any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has: (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any person acting on its behalf of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of FCPA.

The Company further understands and acknowledges that, subject to the other terms hereof, (y) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Underlying Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein):
(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with 

the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law. Such Purchaser’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to which it is a party do not and will not: (x) conflict with or violate any provision of such Purchaser’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents or (y) conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or government authority to which the Purchaser is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of the Purchaser is bound or affected.
(b) Understandings or Arrangements. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). 
(c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it converts any Shares it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act.
(d) Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Such Purchaser understands that nothing in the Transaction Documents or any other materials presented to such Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.
(e) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. 
(f)    Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only 

apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
(g)    General Solicitation.  Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement. 
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.
ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Shares and Conversion Shares. The Shares and the Conversion Shares underlying such Shares shall be issued free of legends.
4.2 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
4.3 Furnishing of Information; Public Information. Until such time that no Purchaser owns Securities, the Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
4.4 Aggregation. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be aggregated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.5 Exercise Procedures. The form of Conversion Notice included in the Series C Certificate of Designation sets forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to convert the Shares. 

Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Conversion Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Conversion Notice form be required in order to convert the Shares.  No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to convert their Shares. The Company shall honor conversion of the Shares and shall deliver Underlying Shares, in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
4.6 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. 
(a)    Disclosures.  The Company shall (1) no later than the Business Day after this Agreement has been executed, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and (2) no later than four (4) Business Days after the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company shall issue a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and including the Transaction Documents required to be included in such Current Report as exhibits thereto, within the time required by the Exchange Act. From and after the issuance of the Current Report, the Company represents to the Purchasers that the Company shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to the Purchasers as of such time by the Company, or any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  The Company shall afford the Purchasers and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, shall consult with the Purchasers and its counsel on the form and substance of, and shall give due consideration to all such comments from the Purchasers and its counsel on, any press release, filing with the Commission or any other public disclosure made by or on behalf of the Company relating to the Purchasers, the Transaction Documents and/or the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents, prior to the issuance, filing or public disclosure thereof, and the Company shall not issue, file or publicly disclose any such information to which the Purchasers shall reasonably object, unless required by law. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to submit for review any such disclosure contained in periodic reports filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act if it shall have previously provided the same disclosure for review in connection with a previous filing.
(b)    Material Non-Public Information.  The Company confirms that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf shall provide the Purchasers or their agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information, unless a simultaneous public announcement thereof is made by the Company in the manner contemplated by Regulation FD. In the event of a breach of the foregoing covenant by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (as determined in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Purchasers), in addition to any other remedy provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents, if any Purchaser is holding any securities of the Company at the time of the disclosure of material, non-public information, any Purchaser shall have the right to make a public disclosure, in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such material, non-public information without the prior approval by the Company; provided the Purchaser shall have first provided notice to the Company that it believes it has received information that constitutes material, non-public information, the Company shall have 48 hours publicly to disclose such material, non-public information prior to any such disclosure by the Purchaser or demonstrate to the Purchasers in writing why such information does not constitute material, non-public information, and (assuming the Purchasers and Purchasers’ counsel disagree with the Company’s determination) the Company shall have failed to publicly disclose such material, non-public information within such time period. The Purchasers shall not have any liability to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders or agents, for any such disclosure. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchasers shall be relying on the foregoing covenants and obligations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

4.7 Stockholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.
4.8 Non-Public Information. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf, will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have entered into a written agreement with the Company regarding the confidentiality and use of such information. The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

4.9 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder as set forth under the capitation “Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus Supplement.
4.10 Indemnification of Purchasers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, stockholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against Purchaser Parties in any capacity, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such stockholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; 

or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by this Section 4.10 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
4.11 Reservation and Listing of Securities.
(a) The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.
(b) If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date (“Share Authorization Failure”), then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 90th day after such date.
(c) The Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter, (iii) provide to the Purchasers evidence of such listing or quotation and (iv) maintain the listing or quotation of such Common Stock on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
4.12 Equal Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to this Agreement. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.
4.13 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the Current Report as described in Section 4.6. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the Current Report as described in Section 4.6, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, 

the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to Current Report as described in Section 4.6, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the Current Report as described in Section 4.6 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the filing of the Current Report as described in Section 4.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

4.14     Intentionally Omitted.

4.15    Intentionally Omitted.  

4.16    Right of Participation. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the right set forth in this Section 4.16 is a right granted by the Company, separately, to each Purchaser, during the period such Purchaser holds non-converted Shares.
(i)    At least five (5) Trading Days prior to any proposed or intended sale by the Company of its Common Stock or other securities or equity linked debt obligations (each, a “Subsequent Placement”), the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser then holding non-converted Shares a written notice of its proposal or intention to effect a Subsequent Placement (each such notice, a “Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall not contain any information (including, without limitation, material, non-public information) other than: (A) if the proposed Offer Notice (as defined below) constitutes or contains material, non-public information, a statement asking whether the Purchaser is willing and wants to accept material non-public information or (B) if the proposed Offer Notice does not constitute or contain material, non-public information, (x) a statement that the Company proposes or intends to effect a Subsequent Placement, (y) a statement that the statement in clause (x) above does not constitute material, non-public information and (z) a statement informing such Purchaser that it is entitled to receive an Offer Notice (as defined below) with respect to such Subsequent Placement upon its written request. Upon the written request of a Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s delivery to such Purchaser of such Pre-Notice, and only upon a written request by such Purchaser, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Business Day after such request, deliver to such Purchaser an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (I) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (II) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (III) identify the persons (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (IV) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Offer such Purchaser’s pro rata portion of 100% of the Offered Securities, provided that the number of Offered Securities which such Purchaser shall have the right 

to subscribe for under this Section 4.16 shall be (x) based on the ratio of the number of non-converted Shares then held by such Purchaser to the aggregate original amount of the Shares purchased hereunder by all Purchasers (the “Basic Amount”), and (y) with respect to each Purchaser that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Purchasers as such Purchasers shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Purchasers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”). 
(ii)    To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Purchaser must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Purchaser’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Purchaser’s Basic Amount that such Purchaser elects to purchase and, if such Purchaser shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Purchaser elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Purchasers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then such Purchaser who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), such Purchaser who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Purchaser bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Purchasers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent it deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to each Purchaser a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Purchaser’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.
(iii)    The Company shall have five (5) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above (A) to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by a Purchaser (the “Refused Securities”) pursuant to a definitive agreement(s) (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring person or persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and (B) to publicly announce (I) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, and (II) either (x) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (y) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the Commission on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.
(iv)    In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4.16(iii) above), then such Purchaser may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Purchaser elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4.16(ii) above multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Purchasers pursuant to this Section 4.16 prior to such 

reduction) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Purchaser so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Purchasers in accordance with Section 4.16(i) above.
(v)    Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, such Purchaser shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to such Purchaser, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance. The purchase by such Purchaser of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and such Purchaser of a separate purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Purchaser and its counsel.
(vi)    Any Offered Securities not acquired by a Purchaser or other persons in accordance with this Section  4.16 may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to such Purchaser under the procedures specified in this Agreement. 
(vii)    The Company and each Purchaser agree that if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Offer, neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “Subsequent Placement Documents”) shall include any term or provision whereby such Purchaser shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any securities of the Company or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, any agreement previously entered into with the Company or any instrument received from the Company.
(viii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.16 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Purchaser, the Company shall either confirm in writing to such Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case, in such a manner such that such Purchaser will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the fifth (5th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by such fifth (5th) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Purchaser, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Purchaser shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide such Purchaser with another Offer Notice in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Section 4.16 and such Purchaser will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 4.16 The Company shall not be permitted to deliver more than one such Offer Notice to such Purchaser in any sixty (60) day period, except as expressly contemplated by the last sentence of Section 4.16(ii).
The Right of Participation set forth in this Section 4.16 shall (x) terminate immediately on the twenty four (24) month anniversary of the Closing Date, (y) with respect to each Purchaser, terminate immediately upon such time as such Purchaser no longer holds non-converted Shares and (z) not apply with respect to any offer or sale of Excluded Securities (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designation). 
4.17 Limitations on Indebtedness, Issuances and Financings. For as long as least Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) of Stated Value (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designation) of Shares (subject 

to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications, combinations and subdivisions or similar events occurring after the date hereof with respect to the Shares) sold hereunder remain outstanding and unconverted, the Company shall not issue any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding), other than Excluded Securities (as defined in the Series C Certificate of Designation), to any Person at a price per share less than $0.30 or incur any debt (other than Permitted Indebtedness), without the express written consent of the Lead Investor.

5.9 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any action, suit or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

proceeding.
5.10 Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
5.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
5.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
5.14 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
5.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.16 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under 

any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.17 Usury. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the Closing Date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respect to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.
5.18 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.19 Liquidated Damages. The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.
5.20  Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the 

expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

5.21 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.
5.22 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
