As set forth in Section 24.2, any notice of default or any decision not to place Franchisee in default at any given time shall not prejudice any rights of Franchisor under this Agreement, and Franchisor may, in its sole discretion, determine when to exercise its rights under this Section 17.

17.2 Immediate Termination. Franchisor may terminate this Agreement and all rights granted to Franchisee under this Agreement without affording Franchisee any opportunity to cure the default, effective immediately upon notice to Franchisee (or upon such notice period or cure period given by Franchisor in its sole discretion or required by Applicable Law), if:

Franchisee or any Guarantor becomes insolvent, generally does not pay its debts as they become due, admits that any of them is unable to pay its debts as they become due, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or proceedings for a compromise with creditors are instituted by, against, or consented to by Franchisee or any Guarantor.

Franchisee or any Guarantor files a voluntary petition under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, or consents to an involuntary petition under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law filed against it, or an order approving an involuntary petition in bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar declaration filed against Franchisee or any Guarantor remains unvacated ninety (90) days after the date of entry thereof.

A court of competent jurisdiction enters an order, judgment, or decree, on the application of a creditor, adjudicating Franchisee or any Guarantor as bankrupt, insolvent, or similar status or approving a petition seeking reorganization or appointing a receiver, trustee, or liquidator of all or a substantial part of Franchisee’s or any Guarantor’s assets, and such order, judgment, or decree remains unstayed and in effect for a period of ninety (90) days or will be consented to by Franchisee or such Guarantor.

Execution is levied against the Restaurant, Franchisee, or any material real or personal property comprising the Restaurant in connection with a final judgment for the payment of money.

A suit to foreclose any lien, mortgage, or security interest in the Restaurant or any material real or personal property that is a part of the Restaurant, or any security interest in Franchisee is initiated.

A danger to public health or safety results from the construction, renovation, repair, refurbishment, upgrading, remodeling, maintenance, or operation of the Restaurant, and an

19. immediate closing of the Restaurant (or any part thereof) is determined by Franchisor to be necessary to:

avoid substantial liability; or (ii) adversely affecting the Restaurant, other Champaran Ahuna Meat House Restaurant, the System, the Proprietary Marks, or the goodwill associated therewith; provided, however, Franchisee may request that Franchisor reinstate this Agreement if within thirty (30) days after termination under this Section 17.2(f), the threat or danger to public health or safety is eliminated and Franchisor shall reinstate this Agreement if it determines that reopening of Restaurant would not cause substantial liability or loss of good will.

Franchisee or any principal, director, officer, shareholder, or agent of Franchisee contrary to the provisions of this Agreement discloses or causes to be disclosed any Confidential Information provided to Franchisee or fails to exercise reasonable care to prevent such disclosure.

If any of the representations and warranties by Franchisee pursuant to Section 25 fails to be true and correct in any material respect when made, deemed made, furnished or as of the date of this Agreement.

An inspection of Franchisee’s books and records pursuant to Section 14.3(b) establishes a pattern of underreporting by Franchisee involving three (3) or more Accounting Periods within any twenty-four (24) month period.

Franchisee or any Person holding or owning a Controlling Ownership Interest in Franchisee is or has been convicted of a felony or other similar crime or offense or has engaged in a pattern or practice of acts or conduct that is likely in Franchisor’s judgment to, as a result of the adverse publicity that has occurred in connection with such offense, acts, or conduct, adversely affect the Restaurant, other Champaran Ahuna Meat House Restaurant, the System, the Proprietary Marks, the goodwill associated therewith or Franchisor’s interests therein, any Franchisor Restaurant Facility or any other business conducted by Franchisor or any of its Affiliates.

There occurs a Transfer that violates or does not comply with the provisions of

Section 16.

17.3 Termination Upon Notice with Opportunity to Cure. Franchisor may terminate this Agreement and all rights granted to Franchisee hereunder for the reasons set forth below if (i) Franchisor gives Franchisee notice of default that provides fourteen (14) days for cure of the default (or such greater number of days given by Franchisor in its sole discretion or required by Applicable Law) and identifies the breach or breaches of this Agreement, and (ii) Franchisee fails to cure in the time and manner specified in the notice of default or as specifically provided in this Section 17.3:

Franchisee, as applicable, fails to do any of the following in a timely manner to Franchisor’s satisfaction: (i) perform any of the requirements stated in Exhibit A by the dates required for completion of such requirements; or (ii) begin or complete any renovation, repair, refurbishment, upgrading or remodeling of the Restaurant as required by Franchisor pursuant to Section 6 and Section 10 or any Standards for the renovation, repair, refurbishment, upgrading or remodeling of the Restaurant.

Franchisee fails to fully comply with the Standards and such failure has not been cured within the applicable cure period for such failure under the Standards.

SECTION 18 POST-TERMINATION 18.1 Franchisee Obligations.

Upon expiration or other termination of this Agreement, all rights granted under this Agreement to Franchisee will immediately terminate, and Franchisee, at its expense, will comply with each of the following obligations:

Franchisee must immediately cease to operate the Restaurant as a Taste of Philly Restaurant and will not directly or indirectly represent or give the impression that it is a present or former franchisee or licensee of Franchisor or that the Restaurant was previously part of the System.

Franchisee must immediately and permanently cease to use and remove from the Restaurant and any other place of business any Intellectual Property and any other identifying characteristics and marks of the System, including, any Electronic Systems, signs, fixtures, furniture, furnishings, equipment, advertising materials, stationery, supplies, forms, or other articles that display any Proprietary Marks or any trade dress or other distinctive features or designs associated with Franchisor or the System. Any signs containing any Proprietary Marks that Franchisee is unable to remove from the Restaurant despite its best efforts upon termination of this Agreement will be completely covered by Franchisee from view and physically removed within forty-eight (48) hours after termination. Franchisee also will immediately remove all content regarding Franchisor, the System, and the Proprietary Marks from any Internet sites under its control and will take all necessary actions required by Franchisor to disassociate itself from Franchisor on the Internet. Franchisee will, at Franchisor’s option and within thirty (30) days, cancel or assign to Franchisor or its designee, any domain name owned by or under the control of Franchisee or its Affiliates that contains any Proprietary Mark, or any mark that is in Franchisor’s sole opinion confusingly similar, including misspellings and acronyms.

Franchisee must take such action as may be necessary to cancel any fictitious, trade, or assumed name or equivalent registration that contains the name “Taste of Philly” or any other Proprietary Mark or any variations thereof, and Franchisee must furnish Franchisor with evidence satisfactory to Franchisor of compliance with this obligation within thirty (30) days after termination of this Agreement.

Franchisee will immediately turn over to Franchisor the originals and all copies of any Confidential Information, Intellectual Property, and all other System materials relating to the operation of the Restaurant and the System, or such other information generated by Franchisee through its use of the System that is deemed confidential by Franchisor, all of which are acknowledged by Franchisee to be Franchisor’s property. Franchisee will retain no copy or record of any of the foregoing, except for Franchisee’s copy of this Agreement, any correspondence between the parties, and any other documents that Franchisee reasonably needs for compliance with any provisions of Applicable Law. If Franchisor permits Franchisee to continue to use any Intellectual Property after the termination date (such permission to be explicit and specific), such use by Franchisee will be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Franchisee agrees that it will make no use of any of the Confidential Information or System or disclose or reveal it or any portion thereof to anyone not employed by Franchisor or its franchisees or licensees. Additionally, Franchisee will not assist anyone not franchised

or licensed to use the System in constructing or equipping any restaurant premises incorporating the distinctive features or equipment layout that Franchisor (or any of its Affiliates) owns, has originated, or developed and which are identifying characteristics of businesses using the System.

Franchisee must immediately make such alterations as may be necessary to distinguish the Restaurant clearly from its former appearance and other Champaran Ahuna Meat House Restaurant in order to prevent any possibility of confusion by the public. Franchisee must make such specific additional changes as Franchisor may reasonably request for this purpose. Until all alterations required by this Section 18.1(a) are completed, Franchisee must maintain a conspicuous sign at the registration desk in a form specified by Franchisor, stating that the Restaurant is no longer associated with Champaran Ahuna Meat House Restaurant. Franchisee will advise all customers and prospective customers telephoning the Restaurant that the Restaurant is no longer associated with Champaran Ahuna Meat House Restaurant. Franchisee agrees that its failure to comply with any of the requirements of this Section 18.1(a) will cause irreparable injury to Franchisor.

Upon expiration or other termination of this Agreement, Franchisee must promptly pay: (i) all amounts owing to Franchisor and any of its Affiliates; (ii) any costs and expenses incurred by Franchisor in connection with removing the Restaurant from the System; and (iii) an amount equal to a reasonable estimate of costs and fees not yet accumulated and/or invoiced. Franchisor is entitled to receive Interest on any amount not paid when due hereunder from earlier of the date due or the date on which Franchisee is notified of the amount owed to Franchisor or its Affiliate.

For a period of three (3) years from the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, or the date on which Franchisee begins to comply with this Section 18.1(c), whichever is later, Franchisee shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly engage in, operate, manage, consult with, advise, partner with, lease or license any assets or provide financing to or invest in any Person that engages in a Philly cheesesteak business located or operating within a five (5) mile radius of the former Restricted Territory (including at the former Approved Location) or within a five (5) mile radius of any other Taste of Philly Restaurant existing on the later of the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement or the date on which Franchisee and its Affiliates begin to comply with this Section 18.1(c). Franchisee and its Affiliates expressly acknowledge that they possess skills and abilities of a general nature and have other opportunities for exploiting such skills. Consequently, enforcement of the covenants made in this Section 18.1(c) will not deprive them of their personal goodwill or ability to earn a living. Franchisee agrees to pay Franchisor the applicable monthly Franchise Fees for each business Franchisee owns or operates in violation of this Section 18.1(c) during the three (3) year period. Furthermore, in addition to the aforementioned fees, Franchisor reserves the right to enjoin or seek injunctive relief for any Franchisee activities in contravention of this Section 18.1(c).

The provisions of Section 18.1 will survive the expiration or termination (for any reason) of this Agreement.

18.2 Franchisor’s Termination Rights.

If this Agreement is terminated, Franchisor will be entitled to pursue all remedies whether legal, equitable, or statutory, to compensate Franchisor for the damages it incurs as a result of such termination. In determining damages or compensation to Franchisor, a court, arbitrator, or other trier of fact must consider that Franchisee has agreed to operate the Restaurant as a Taste of Philly Restaurant in compliance with this Agreement for the full Term, and Franchisee acknowledges that should it fail to do so, Franchisor would be damaged in several ways, including: (i) loss of future Franchise Fees and fees used to market the System; (ii) loss of System representation in the area served by the Restaurant; (iii) confusion of customers; (iv) injury to the goodwill in the Proprietary Marks; and

lost opportunities to operate or franchise restaurants in the area served by the Restaurant. Franchisee acknowledges that it will be difficult to estimate the revenues of the Restaurant over a period of years, and that elements of Franchisor’s damages not directly calculated from the Restaurant’s revenues also

will be difficult to calculate, and that such damages are real and meaningful to Franchisor, and the proofs thereof would be burdensome and costly. Franchisor and Franchisee agree that liquidated damages (as calculated below) are not a penalty and represent a reasonable estimate of just and fair compensation of Franchisor for the damages that it would suffer. If this Agreement is terminated, Franchisee must promptly pay to Franchisor, in addition to any amounts otherwise payable to Franchisor, liquidated damages in an amount equal to (a) the sum of the average of the monthly Franchise Fees payable to Franchisor under this Agreement over the immediately preceding two (2) years, multiplied by (b) the lesser of (x) sixty (60) or (y) one-half (1/2) the number of months that would then otherwise remain in the Term of this Agreement. In addition to such damages, Franchisor will have the right to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred in collecting such sums, plus Interest on all amounts due pursuant to this Section 18.2(a) from the date of such termination until paid.

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Franchisor may give notice of the pending expiration or termination of this Agreement to, and take such other action relating to, customers, suppliers and other Persons that might be affected by such expiration or termination.

18.3 Franchisor Option to Purchase.

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Franchisor will have the right, but not the duty, to be exercised by notice of intent to do so within thirty (30) days after termination or expiration of this Agreement, to purchase any signs, advertising materials, Inventories, or other items bearing any Proprietary Marks. The purchase price to be paid by Franchisor for any such items will be the fair market value for such items. With respect to any such purchase, Franchisor will have the right to set off all amounts due from Franchisee under this Agreement or any other TOP Agreement.

Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Franchisor will have the right, but not the duty, to be exercised by notice of intent to do so within thirty (30) days after termination or expiration of this Agreement, to purchase the Restaurant or a portion of the assets of the Restaurant (including any FF&E or improvements) which may include, at Franchisor’s option, all of Franchisee’s leasehold interest in and to the real estate upon which the Restaurant is located, but not including any other interest in real property. The purchase price to be paid by Franchisor for any such items will be the fair market value for such items. With respect to any such purchase, Franchisor will have the right to set off all amounts due from Franchisee under this Agreement or any other TOP Agreement. The following additional terms shall apply to Franchisor’s exercise of this option:

Franchisor’s option shall be exercisable by providing Franchisee with written notice of its intention to exercise the option no later than thirty (30) days after termination of this Agreement, in the case of termination, or at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Term, in circumstances where no renewal is granted.

Franchisor and Franchisee agree that the terms and conditions of this right and option to purchase may be recorded, if deemed appropriate by Franchisor, in the real property records, and Franchisor and Franchisee further agree to execute such additional documentation as may be necessary and appropriate to effectuate such recording.

The closing for the purchase will take place no later than sixty (60) days after delivery to Franchisee of written notice of Franchisor’s exercise of its option. Franchisor has the unrestricted right to assign this option to purchase at any time to a third party, who then will have the rights described in this Section 18.3(b). Franchisor will pay the purchase price in full at the closing or, at its option, in twenty-four (24) equal consecutive monthly installments, with interest at a rate equal to the prime lending rate as of the closing at Franchisor’s primary bank. Franchisee must sign all documents of transfer reasonably necessary for purchase of the Restaurant by Franchisor or the third party assignee, which documents shall include all customary representations and warranties from Franchisee as to ownership and condition of, and title to, the assets of the Restaurant being transferred. All assets must be

transferred free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, with all sales and transfer taxes paid by Franchisee. Franchisee further agree to sign general releases, in a form satisfactory to Franchisor, of any and all claims against Franchisor and their respective shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns.

Franchisee agrees that it shall be obligated to operate the Restaurant, according to this Agreement’s terms, during the period in which Franchisor or the third party assignee is deciding whether to exercise its option to purchase and until the closing takes place, and that a condition to closing is that the Restaurant has remained open during that time period. Franchisor or the third party assignee may decide not to exercise its option to purchase at any time before closing if it determines that any of the conditions noted above have not been or cannot be satisfied.

Should Franchisor or a third party assignee choose to not exercise its right to purchase under Section 18.3(b), the Franchisee will be free, after such termination or expiration, to keep or to sell to any third party all of the physical assets of its Restaurant; provided, however, that all Proprietary Marks are first removed in a manner approved in writing by Franchisor. The provisions of Section 18.3 will survive the expiration or termination (for any reason) of this Agreement.

SECTION 19 CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY

19.1 Condemnation. Franchisee will, at the earliest possible time, give Franchisor notice of any proposed taking by nationalization, expropriation, eminent domain, condemnation, compulsory acquisition, or similar proceeding. If such taking is substantial enough in Franchisor’s opinion to render impractical the continued operation of the Restaurant in accordance with the System and guest expectations, this Agreement will terminate upon notice by Franchisor to Franchisee, and Franchisor and Franchisee will share equitably in the award; provided, however, Franchisor’s portion shall be limited to compensating Franchisor for Franchisor’s lost Franchise Fees under this Agreement. If such taking, in Franchisor’s opinion, will not render the continued operation of the Restaurant impractical, Franchisee must promptly make whatever repairs and restoration are necessary to make the Restaurant conform substantially to the then-current Standards. Franchisee will take all measures necessary to ensure that the resumption of normal operation of the Restaurant is not unreasonably delayed.

19.2 Casualty. If the Restaurant is damaged by fire or other casualty, this Agreement will not terminate, and Franchisee, at its sole cost and expense will expeditiously repair the damage. If the damage or repair requires closing the Restaurant, Franchisee must, at its sole cost and expense: (i) immediately notify Franchisor; (ii) repair or rebuild the Restaurant in accordance with then-current Standards; (iii) begin reconstruction as soon as practicable; (iv) reopen the Restaurant for continuous business operations as soon as practicable; and (v) give Franchisor ample advance notice of the date of reopening. If the casualty will require the closing of the Restaurant in excess of thirty (30) days, Franchisee must provide Franchisor with a schedule for completing the repairs and re-opening of the Restaurant within thirty (30) days after such closing. If the Restaurant, or a substantial portion thereof, will be closed and cannot be re-opened within one-hundred eighty (180) days, and Franchisee fails to provide evidence that re-opening is possible within a timeframe acceptable to Franchisor beyond such date, Franchisor will have the right to terminate this Agreement and treat it as a default by Franchisee.

SECTION 20 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; LEGAL ACTIONS 20.1 Compliance with Laws.

Franchisee must comply with all Applicable Law, and will obtain in a timely manner all permits, certificates, and licenses necessary for the full and proper operation of the Restaurant and compliance with the TOP Agreements. Franchisee must forward to Franchisor within seven (7) days of Franchisee’s receipt copies of all inspection reports, warnings, certificates, and ratings issued by any governmental entity related to the Restaurant that indicate a material failure to meet or maintain

governmental standards regarding health or life safety or any other material violation of Applicable Law that may adversely affect the operation or financial condition of the Restaurant or Franchisee.

Franchisee must, if required by Applicable Law, timely file, register, or report this Agreement or the payments to be made hereunder, as applicable, to the appropriate governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Restaurant or this Agreement. Franchisee must provide a copy of all materials prepared in satisfaction of such Applicable Law to Franchisor for Franchisor’s approval prior to furnishing such materials to any governmental authority.

If required by any Applicable Law: (i) the effectiveness of this Agreement will be the date on which all requirements for the effectiveness of this Agreement under such Applicable Law have been met and complied with; and (ii) payment of fees will be deferred until all requirements for the payment of such fees under such Applicable Law have been met and complied with; provided, however, that to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, Franchisee will pay, as provided in Section 3, all invoices submitted by Franchisor to Franchisee for costs and expenses incurred by Franchisor or its Affiliates (including Travel Expenses) arising out of or related to its review and investigation of the proposed Restaurant (including, the Initial Fee), any plans, designs, development, or construction related thereto, and Franchisor’s negotiation, preparation, and implementation of this Agreement. If Franchisee makes such reimbursement payments, Franchisor will adjust fees so as to avoid a duplication of charges to Franchisee.

20.2 Notice Regarding Legal Actions. Franchisee must notify Franchisor within seven (7)

days: (i) after the commencement of any material action, suit, or other proceeding that involves the Restaurant or Franchisee; or (ii) after the commencement of any action, suit, or other proceeding that involves Franchisor or Franchisor’s relationship with Franchisee or the Restaurant, and within seven (7) days of the issuance of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, award, or other decree of any court, agency, or other governmental instrumentality that may adversely affect the operation or financial condition of the Restaurant or Franchisee. Nothing in this Section 20.2, however, will abrogate any notice requirement that Franchisee may have under any insurance program or contract.

SECTION 21 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES

21.1 Reasonable Business Judgment. Except where Franchisor has reserved “sole discretion” or as otherwise indicated in this Agreement, Franchisor agrees to use Reasonable Business Judgment when discharging its obligations or exercising its rights or discretion under this Agreement, including with respect to any consents and approvals and the administration of Franchisor’s relationship with Franchisee. Franchisee will have the burden of establishing that Franchisor failed to exercise Reasonable Business Judgment, and neither the fact that Franchisor benefited economically from an action nor the existence of other “reasonable” alternatives will, by themselves, establish such failure. To the extent that any implied covenant, such as the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or civil law duty of good faith is applied to this Agreement, Franchisor and Franchisee intend that Franchisor will not have violated such covenant or duty if Franchisor has exercised Reasonable Business Judgment.

21.2 Independent Contractor. This Agreement does not create a fiduciary relationship between Franchisor and Franchisee. Franchisee is an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to constitute either party as an agent, legal representative, subsidiary, joint venturer, partner, employee, or servant of the other for any purpose. Nothing in this Agreement authorizes Franchisee to make any contract, agreement, warranty, or representation on Franchisor’s behalf or to incur any debt or other obligation in Franchisor’s name.

SECTION 22 GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION

22.1 Governing Law. This Agreement is executed pursuant to, and will be construed under and governed exclusively by, the laws of the State of Colorado, without reference to its conflict of laws.

Franchisee must, if required by Applicable Law, timely file, register, or report this Agreement or the payments to be made hereunder, as applicable, to the appropriate governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Restaurant or this Agreement. Franchisee must provide a copy of all materials prepared in satisfaction of such Applicable Law to Franchisor for Franchisor’s approval prior to furnishing such materials to any governmental authority.

If required by any Applicable Law: (i) the effectiveness of this Agreement will be the date on which all requirements for the effectiveness of this Agreement under such Applicable Law have been met and complied with; and (ii) payment of fees will be deferred until all requirements for the payment of such fees under such Applicable Law have been met and complied with; provided, however, that to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, Franchisee will pay, as provided in Section 3, all invoices submitted by Franchisor to Franchisee for costs and expenses incurred by Franchisor or its Affiliates (including Travel Expenses) arising out of or related to its review and investigation of the proposed Restaurant (including, the Initial Fee), any plans, designs, development, or construction related thereto, and Franchisor’s negotiation, preparation, and implementation of this Agreement. If Franchisee makes such reimbursement payments, Franchisor will adjust fees so as to avoid a duplication of charges to Franchisee.

20.2 Notice Regarding Legal Actions. Franchisee must notify Franchisor within seven (7)

SECTION 21 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES

SECTION 22 GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION

22.1 Governing Law. This Agreement is executed pursuant to, and will be construed under and governed exclusively by, the laws of the State of Colorado, without reference to its conflict of laws.

22.2 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereby waives, without limitation, any right it might otherwise have to trial by jury on any and all claims asserted against the other.

22.3 Injunctive Relief. Franchisor will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable or judicial relief, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, without the necessity of posting a bond, and without waiving any other rights or remedies at law or in equity, for any actual or threatened material breach or violation of this Agreement or the Standards.

22.4 Costs of Enforcement. If for any reason it becomes necessary for either party to initiate any legal or equitable action to secure or protect its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover all costs incurred by it in successfully enforcing said rights, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

22.5 Arbitration.

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be settled by arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by an arbitration agency, such as the American Arbitration Association or the American Dispute Resolution Center, in accordance with the respective administrative rules. Any judgment rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The costs of the arbitration will be borne equally by the parties. The parties agree that Denver, Colorado shall be the site for all hearings held under this Section 22.5, and that such hearings shall be conducted before a single arbitrator, not a panel. Neither party shall pursue class action type claims and/or consolidate the arbitration with any other proceedings to which Franchisor is a party.

Franchisee may only seek damages or any remedy under law or equity for any arbitrable claim against Franchisor or Franchisor’s successors or assigns. Franchisee agrees that Franchisor’s Affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives, and their Affiliates, shall not be liable nor named as a party to this Agreement. Franchisee further agrees that the foregoing parties are intended beneficiaries of the arbitration clause; and that all claims against them that arise out of or relate to this Agreement must be resolved with Franchisor through arbitration. Should Franchisee name a party in any arbitration or litigation proceeding in violation of this Section 22.5, Franchisee will reimburse Franchisor for costs incurred, including but not limited to attorney’s fees, arbitration fees, court costs, witness fees, management preparation time, Travel Expenses, and incidental expenses.

Notwithstanding the arbitration clause in Section 22.5(a), Franchisor may bring an action for injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction to enforce Franchisor’s trademarks or proprietary rights, the covenants not to compete, or the restriction on disclosure of Confidential Information in order to avoid irreparable harm to Franchisor, Franchisor’s Affiliates, and the System as a whole. Franchisor may, without waiving any rights it has under this Agreement, seek from a court having jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that may be necessary to protect its rights or property (including any aspect of the System, or any reason concerning the safety of the Restaurant or the health and welfare of any of the Restaurant’s guests, invitees or employees).

The provisions of this Section 22.5 will survive the expiration or termination of

this Agreement.

22.6 Limitation on Damages.

FRANCHISEE HEREBY WAIVES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY RIGHT IT MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO ASSERT A CLAIM FOR AND/OR TO RECOVER LOST PROFITS AND OTHER FORMS OF CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONTINGENT, PUNITIVE, AND EXEMPLARY DAMAGES FROM FRANCHISOR EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN.

FRANCHISOR’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE ACTUAL COMPENSATORY DAMAGES, SUCH DAMAGES BEING THE GREATER OF (1) $100,000.00 OR (2) AT FRANCHISEE’S SOLE OPTION, ALL AMOUNTS PAID TO FRANCHISOR FOR FRANCHISE FEES FOR THIS AGREEMENT FOR UP TO THREE (3) YEARS PRECEDING THE DATE OF ANY AWARD HEREIN. SHOULD FRANCHISEE ELECT OPTION (2), FRANCHISOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REPURCHASE FRANCHISEE’S EQUIPMENT, PURCHASED FROM OR THROUGH FRANCHISOR, AT DEPRECIATED VALUE USING THE FIVE YEAR, STRAIGHT LINE METHOD OF CALCULATION.

SECTION 24 MISCELLANEOUS 24.1 Construction and Severability.

Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, each section, part, term and/or provision of this Agreement (including, Section 16), will be considered severable; and if, for any reason any section, part, term, or provision is determined to be invalid, unenforceable or contrary to, or in conflict with, any existing or future Applicable Law or by an arbitral tribunal, court or agency having valid jurisdiction, such will not impair the operation of, or have any other effect upon, such other sections, parts, terms, and provisions of this Agreement as may remain otherwise intelligible, and the latter will continue to be given full force and effect and bind Franchisor and Franchisee; and said invalid or unenforceable sections, parts, terms, or provisions will be deemed to be replaced with a provision that is valid and enforceable and most nearly reflects the original intent of the invalid or unenforceable provision.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended, or will be deemed, to create any third party beneficiary or confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement upon any Person other than Franchisor (and its Affiliates) or Franchisee, and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

When this Agreement provides that Franchisor may take or refrain from taking any action or exercise discretion, such as rights of approval, or to modify the System or any part of it, or to make other determinations or modifications under this Agreement, Franchisor may do so from time to time.

Unless otherwise stated, references to Sections are to Sections of this Agreement. Unless otherwise stated, references to exhibits, attachments or addenda are to exhibits, attachments and addenda to this Agreement, and all of such are incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

24.2 Approvals and Waivers. Approvals, designations, and consents required under this Agreement will not be effective unless evidenced by a writing signed by the duly authorized officer or agent of the party giving such approval or consent.
