         (B)   No Licensed Products and no material utilizing the Licensed
               Property shall be manufactured, sold, distributed or promoted by
               Licensee without prior written approval. Licensee may, subject to
               Licensor's prior written approval, use textual and/or pictorial
               matter pertaining to the Licensed Property on such promotional,
               display and advertising material as may, in its reasonable
               judgment, promote the sale of the Licensed Products. All
               advertising and promotional material relating to the Licensed
               Products must be submitted to the Licensor for its written
               approval at the following stages appropriate to the medium used:
               (I) rough concepts; (ii) layout, storyboard, script; and (iii)

         (C)   Approval or disapproval shall lie in Licensor's sole discretion.
               Any Licensed Products not so approved in writing shall be deemed
               unlicensed and shall not be manufactured or sold. If any
               unapproved Licensed Products are being sold, Licensor may,

               remedies available to it including, but not limited to,
               immediate termination of this Agreement, require such Licensed
               Products to be immediately withdrawn from the market and to be
               destroyed, such destruction to be attested to in a certificate
               signed by an officer of Licensee.

         (D)   Any modification of a Licensed Product must be submitted in
               advance for Licensor's written approval as if it were a new
               Licensed Product. Approval of a Licensed Product which uses
               particular artwork does not imply approval of such artwork for
               use with a different Licensed Product.

         (E)   Licensed Products must conform in all material respects to the
               final production samples approved by Licensor. If in Licensor's
               reasonable judgement, the quality of a Licensed Product
               originally approved has deteriorated in later production runs, or
               if a Licensed Product has otherwise been altered, Licensor may,
               in addition to other remedies available to it, require that such
               Licensed Product be immediately withdrawn from the market.

         (F)   Licensee shall permit Licensor to inspect Licensee's
               manufacturing operations, testing and payroll records (including
               those operations and records of any supplier or manufacturer
               approved pursuant to Paragraph 10 (b) below) with respect to the
               Licensed Products.

         (G)   If any changes or modifications are required to be made to any
               material submitted to Licensor for is written approval in order
               to ensure compliance with Licensor's specifications or standards
               of quality, Licensee agrees promptly to make such changes or
               modifications.

         (H)   Subsequent to final approval, no fewer than twelve (12)
               production samples of Licensed Products will be sent to Licensor
               to ensure quality control simultaneously upon distribution to the
               public. In addition, Licensee shall provide Licensor with six (6)
               catalogs which display all of Licensee's products, not just the
               Licensed Products. Further, Licensor shall have the right to
               purchase any and all Licensed Products in any quantity at the
               maximum discount price Licensee charges its best customer.

         (I)   To avoid confusion of the public, Licensee agrees not to
               associate other characters or properties with the Licensed
               Property on the Licensed Products or in any packaging,
               promotional or display materials unless Licensee receives
               Licensor's prior written approval. Furthermore, Licensee agrees
               not to use the Licensed Property (or any

               stationery or forms, nor as part of the name of Licensee's
               business or any division thereof.

         (J)   Licensee shall use its best efforts to notify its customers of
               the requirement that Licensor has the right to approve all
               promotional, display and advertising material pursuant to this
               Agreement.

         (K)   It is understood and agreed that any animation used in electronic
               media, including but not limited to animation for television
               commercials and character voices for radio commercials, shall be
               produced by Warner Bros. Animation pursuant to a separate
               agreement between Licensee and Warner Bros. Animation, subject to
               Warner Bros. Animation's customary rates. It is understood and
               agreed that, in the event Licensee utilizes the services of WB
               Toys, Licensee shall reimburse WB Toys for all costs and expenses
               at WB Toy's customary rates. Any payment made to Warner Bros.
               Animation and/or WB Toys for such animation and/or services shall
               be in addition to and shall not offset the Guaranteed
               Consideration set forth in Paragraph 1 (b).

         (L)   Licensor's approval of Licensed Products (including without
               limitation, the Licensed Products themselves as well as
               promotional, display, and advertising materials) shall in no way
               constitute or be construed as an approval by Licensor of
               Licensee's use of any trademark, copyright and/or other
               proprietary materials, not owned by Licensor.

10.      DISTRIBUTION; SUB-LICENSE MANUFACTURE:

         (A)   Within the Channels of Distribution set forth in Paragraph 1 (a)
               hereof, Licensee shall sell the Licensed Products to wholesalers,
               distributors, or retailers for sale or resale and distribution
               directly to the public. If Licensee sells or distributes the
               Licensed Products at a special price, directly or indirectly, to
               itself, including without limitation, any subsidiary of Licensee
               or to any other person, firm, or corporation affiliated with
               Licensee or its officers, directors, or major stockholders, for
               ultimate sale to unrelated third parties, Licensee shall pay
               royalties with respect to such sales or distribution, based upon
               the price generally charged the trade by Licensee.

         (B)   Licensee shall not be entitled to sub-license any of its rights
               under this Agreement. In the event Licensee is not the
               manufacturer of the Licensed Products, Licensee shall, subject to
               the prior written approval of Licensor, which approval shall not
               be unreasonably withheld, be

               entitled to utilize a third party manufacturer in connection
               with the manufacture and production of the Licensed Products,
               provided that such manufacturer shall execute a letter in the
               form of Exhibit 2 attached hereto and by this reference made a
               part hereof. In such event, Licensee shall remain primarily
               obligated under all of the provisions of this Agreement and
               any default of this Agreement by such manufacturer shall be
               deemed a default by Licensee hereunder. In no event shall any
               such third party manufacturer agreement include the right to
               grant any rights to subcontractors.

         11.   GOODWILL: Licensee recognizes the great value of the publicity
               and goodwill associated with the Licensed Property and
               acknowledges: (I) such goodwill is exclusively that of Licensor;
               and (ii) that the Licensed Property has acquired a secondary
               meaning as Licensor's trademarks and/or identifications in the
               mind of the purchasing public. Licensee further recognizes and
               acknowledges that a breach by Licensee of any of its covenants,
               agreements or undertakings hereunder will cause Licensor
               irreparable damage, which cannot be readily remedied in damages
               in an action at law, and may, in addition thereto, constitute an
               infringement of Licensor's copyrights, trademarks and/other
               proprietary rights in, and to the Licensed Property, thereby
               entitling Licensor to equitable remedies, and costs.

         12.   LICENSOR'S WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS:
               Licensor represents and warrants to Licensee that:

                (A) It has, and will have throughout the Term of this Agreement,
                    the right to license the Licensed Property to Licensee in
                    accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
                    and

                (B) The making of this Agreement by Licensor does not violate
                    any agreements, rights, or obligations of any person, firm
                    or corporation.

         13.    LICENSEE'S WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS: Licensee represents
                and warrants to Licensor that, during the Term and thereafter:

                (A) It will not attack the title of Licensor (or third parties
                    that have granted rights to Licensor) in and to the Licensed
                    Property or any copyright or trademarks pertaining thereto,
                    nor will it attack the validity of the license granted
                    hereunder;

                (B) It will not harm, misuse or bring into disrepute the
                    Licensed Property, but on the contrary, will maintain the
                    value and reputation thereof to the best of its ability;

                    Licensed Products in an ethical manner and in accordance
                    with the terms and intent of this Agreement, and in
                    compliance with all applicable government regulations and

                    without the prior written approval of Licensor in each and
                    every instance. Except as provided by the Licensor Congress
                    Agreement, or as may have been previously granted by
                    Licensee, pursuant to its recently completed refinancing, it
                    will not cause or allow any liens or encumbrances to be
                    placed against, or grant any security interest (except to
                    Licensor as provided hereunder) in, the Licensed Property
                    and/or Licensee's inventory, contract rights and/or accounts
                    receivables, and/or proceeds thereof, with respect to the
                    Licensed Products without Licensor's prior written consent;

                (E) If will protect to the best of its ability its right to
                    manufacture, sell, promote, and distribute the Licensed
                    Products hereunder;

                (F) It will at all times comply with all government laws and
                    regulations, including but not limited to product safety,
                    food, health, drug, cosmetic, sanitary or other similar
                    laws, and all voluntary industry standards relating or
                    pertaining to the manufacture, sale, advertising or use of
                    the Licensed Products, and shall maintain its appropriate
                    customary high quality standards during the Term hereof. It
                    shall comply with any regulatory agencies which shall have
                    jurisdiction over the Licensed Products and shall procure
                    and maintain in force any and all permissions,
                    certifications and /or other authorizations from
                    governmental and/or other official authorities that may be
                    required in response thereto. Each Licensed Product and
                    component thereof distributed hereunder shall comply with
                    all applicable laws, regulations and voluntary industry
                    standards. Licensee shall follow reasonable and proper
                    procedures for testing that all Licensed Products comply
                    with such laws, regulations and standards. Licensee shall
                    permit Licensor or its designees to inspect testing records
                    and procedures with respect to the Licensed Products for
                    compliance. Licensed Products that do not comply with all
                    applicable laws, regulations and standards shall
                    automatically be deemed unapproved and immediately taken off
                    the market;

                    information to Licensor including, but not limited to,

                    the Licensed Products in interstate and intrastate commerce,
                    where appropriate;

                (I) It will, pursuant to Licensor's instructions, duly take any
                    and all necessary steps to secure execution of all necessary
                    documentation for the recordation of itself as user of the
                    Licensed Property in any jurisdiction where this is required
                    or where Licensor reasonably requests that such recordation
                    shall be effected. Licensee further agrees that it will at
                    its own expense cooperate with Licensor in cancellation of
                    any such recordation at the expiration of this Agreement or
                    upon termination of Licensee's right to use the Licensed
                    Property. Licensee hereby appoints Licensor its
                    Attorney-in-Fact for such purpose;

                (J) It will not deliver or sell Licensed Products outside the
                    Territory or knowingly sell Licensed Products to a third
                    party for delivery outside the Territory;

                    hereunder, without the prior written consent of Licensor;

                (M) It shall at all times comply with all manufacturing, sales,
                    distribution, retail and marketing policies and strategies
                    promulgated by Licensor from time-to-time; and

                    design elements of the Licensed Property provided to

                    shall sell Licensed Products to parties other than Licensee
                    or engage in conduct, which conduct if engaged in by
                    Licensee would entitle Licensor to terminate this Agreement;
                    or

               XII. Licensee delivers or sells Licensed Products outside the
                    Territory of knowingly sells Licensed Products to a third

         15.    FINAL STATEMENT UPON TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION: Licensee shall
                deliver, as soon as practicable, but not later than thirty (30)
                days following expiration or termination of this Agreement, a
                statement indicating the number and description of Licensed
                Products on hand together with a description of all advertising
                and promotional materials relating thereto. Following expiration
                or termination of the Agreement, Licensee shall immediately
                cease any and all manufacturing of the Licensed Product.
                However, if Licensee has complied with all the terms of the
                Agreement, including, but not limited to, complete and timely
                payment of the Guaranteed Consideration and Royalty Payments,
                then Licensee may continue to distribute and sell its remaining
                inventory for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days following
                such termination or expiration (the "Sell-Off Period"), subject
                to payment of applicable royalties thereto. In no event,
                however, may Licensee distribute and sell during the Sell-Off
                Period an amount of Licensed Products that exceeds the average
                amount of Licensed Products sold during any consecutive sixty
                (60) day period during the Term. In the event this Agreement is
                terminated by Licensor for any reason under this Agreement,
                Licensee shall be deemed to have forfeited its Sell-Off Period.
                If Licensee has any remaining inventory of the Licensed Products
                following the Sell-Off Period, Licensee shall, at Licensor's
                option, make available such inventory to Licensor for purchase
                at or below cost, deliver up to Licensor for destruction said
                remaining inventory or furnish to Licensor an affidavit
                attesting to the destruction of said remaining inventory.
                Licensee shall, at Licensor's options, deliver to Licensor at no
                charge all tooling, tooling aids and other Artwork related to
                the Licensed Products, deliver up to Licensor for destruction
                said tooling, tooling aids and other Artwork or furnish to
                Licensor an affidavit attesting to the destruction of said
                tooling, tooling aids and other Artwork. Licensor shall have the
                right to conduct a physical inventory in order to ascertain or
                verify such inventory and/or statement. In the event that
                Licensee refuses to permit Licensor to conduct such physical
                inventory, Licensee shall forfeit its rights to the Sell-Off
                Period hereunder or any other rights to dispose of such
                inventory. In addition to the forfeiture, Licensor shall have
                recourse to all other legal remedies available to it.

         16.    NOTICES: Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all
                notices which either party hereto are required or may desire to
                give to the other shall be given by addressing the same to the
                other at the address set forth above, or at such other address
                as may be designated in writing by any such party in a notice to
                the other given in the manner prescribed in this paragraph. All
                such notices shall be sufficiently given when the same shall be
                deposited so addressed, postage prepaid, in the United States
                mail and/or when the same shall have been delivered, so
                addressed, by facsimile or by overnight delivery service, and

                facsimile, receipt of overnight delivery service or two business
                days after mailing shall for the purposes of this Agreement be
                deemed the date of the giving of such notice.

         17.    NO PARTNERSHIP, ETC.: This Agreement does not constitute and
                shall not be construed as constitution of a partnership or joint
                venture between Licensor and Licensee. Neither party shall have
                any right to obligate or bind the other party in any manner
                whatsoever, and nothing herein contained shall give, or is
                intended to give, any rights of any kind to any third persons.

         18.    NO SUBLICENSING/NON-ASSIGNABILITY: This Agreement shall bind and
                inure to the benefit of Licensor, its successors and assigns.
                This Agreement is personal to Licensee. Licensee shall not
                sublicense, franchise or delegate to third parties its rights
                hereunder (except as set forth in Paragraph 10 (b) hereof).
                Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights of Licensee
                hereunder shall be sold, transferred or assigned by Licensee and
                no rights hereunder shall devolve by operation of law or
                otherwise upon any receiver, liquidator, trustee or other party.

         19.    BANKRUPTCY RELATED PROVISIONS:

                (A) The parties hereby agree and intend that this Agreement is
                    an executory contract governed by Section 365 of the
                    Bankruptcy Code.

                (B) In the event of Licensee's bankruptcy, the parties intend
                    that any royalties payable under this Agreement during the
                    bankruptcy period be deemed administrative claims under the
                    Bankruptcy Code because the parties recognize and agree that
                    the bankruptcy estate's enjoyment of this Agreement will (I)
                    provide a material benefit to the bankruptcy estate during
                    its reorganization and (ii) deny Licensor the benefit of the
                    exploitation of the rights through alternate means during
                    the bankruptcy reorganization.

                (C) The parties acknowledge and agree that any delay in the
                    decision of the trustee of the bankruptcy estate to assume
                    or reject the Agreement (the "Decision Period") materially
                    harms Licensor by interfering with Licensor's ability to
                    alternatively exploit the rights granted under this
                    Agreement during a Decision Period of uncertain duration.
                    The parties recognize that arranging appropriate alternative
                    exploitation would be a time consuming and expensive process
                    and that it is unreasonable for Licensor to endure a
                    Decision Period of extended uncertainty. Therefore, the
                    parties agree that the Decision Period shall not exceed
                    sixty (60) days.

                (D) Licensor, in its interest to safeguard its valuable
                    interests (including, without limitation, its intellectual
                    property rights in the Licensed Property), has relied on the
                    particular skill and knowledge base of Licensee. Therefore,
                    the parties acknowledge and agree that in a bankruptcy
                    context this Agreement is a license of the type described by
                    Section 365 (c ) (1) of the Bankruptcy Code and my not be
                    assigned without the prior written consent of the Licensor.

         20.    CONSTRUCTION: This Agreement shall be construed in accordance
                with the laws of the State of California of the United States of
                America without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.

         21.    WAIVER, MODIFICATION, ETC.: No waiver, modification or
                cancellation of any term or condition of this Agreement shall be
                effective unless executed in writing by the party charged
                therewith. No written waiver shall excuse the performance of any
                acts other than those specifically referred to therein. The fact
                that the Licensor has not previously insisted upon Licensee
                expressly complying with any provision of this Agreement shall
                not be deemed to be a waiver of Licensor's future right to
                require compliance in respect thereof and Licensee specifically
                acknowledges and agrees that the prior forbearance in respect of
                any act, term or condition shall not prevent Licensor from
                subsequently requiring full and complete compliance thereafter.
                If any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid
                or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction or any
                other authority vested with jurisdiction, such holding shall not
                affect the validity of enforceability of any other term or
                provision hereto and this Agreement shall be interpreted and
                construed as if such term or provision, to the extent the same
                shall have been held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
                had never been contained herein. Headings of paragraphs herein
                are for convenience only and are without substantive
                significance.

         22.    CONFIDENTIALITY: The Artwork and the materials and information
                supplied to Licensee hereunder constitute, relate to, contain
                and form a part of confidential and proprietary information of
                Licensor, including, but not limited to , Style Guides, design
                elements, characters profiles, unpublished copyrighted material,
                release dates, marketing and promotional strategies, information
                about new products, properties and characters, the terms and
                conditions of this Agreement, and other information which is
                proprietary in nature or is a trade secret (collectively, the
                "Proprietary Information"). Licensee acknowledges and agrees
                that the Proprietary Information is highly confidential and that
                disclosure of the Proprietary Information will result in serious
                harm to Licensor. Among other damage, unauthorized disclosure of
                the Proprietary Information will (I) damage Licensor's carefully
                planned marketing
