3.2 Royalty Fees. Beginning the calendar month in which the Franchised Restaurant is Operational, on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month thereafter, Franchisee agrees to pay a continuing monthly royalty fee equal to 3.8% of the Gross Sales for the immediately preceding calendar month, subject to the immediately following sentence.

In such event, Franchisee shall commence payment of the increased royalty fee in the month immediately following the expiration on the ninety (90) day period.

3.3 System Fund. Beginning the calendar month in which the Franchised Restaurant is Operational, on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month thereafter, Franchisee agrees to pay to the System Fund a continuing monthly amount designated by Franchisor, but in no event more than three and one-tenth percent (3.1%) of Gross Sales, except as described in Section 3.7 and 8.5(f) (amounting to .2% of Gross Sales currently allocated to the Entertainment Fund, .4% of Gross Sales currently allocated to the Advertising Fund and 2.5% of Gross Sales currently allocated to the Media Fund). The portion of the System Fund payment allocated to the Media Fund may be withdrawn upon (1) the unilateral election of Franchisor or (2) the vote of System franchisees in good standing under their respective franchise agreements, with thirty (30) days advance notice of such vote, one vote per franchised restaurant location and a simple majority of restaurants voting in favor of withdrawal; provided however, that if such vote or election shall be taken on or before March 1 of any calendar year, it shall first become effective on September 1 of the same year, and if such vote or election shall have been taken after March 1 of any calendar year, it shall first become effective September 1 of the following calendar year. Not less than six (6) months following any such withdrawal, such payment may be reinstated, upon the unilateral election by Franchisor or by vote in favor of reinstatement in accordance with the procedure described in this Section.

3.4 Payments and Taxes. All franchise and royalty fees shall be paid directly to Franchisor or its designee. All payments and contributions shall be in United States dollars and will be made free and clear of any tax, deduction, offset or withholding of any kind.

In the event of any bona fide dispute as to liability for taxes assessed or other indebtedness, Franchisee may contest the validity or the amount of the tax or indebtedness in accordance with procedures of the taxing authority or applicable law; however, in no event shall Franchisee permit a tax sale or seizure by levy of execution or similar writ or warrant, or attachment by a creditor, to occur against the premises of the Franchised Restaurant or any improvements thereon.

3.5 Overdue Payments. Any payment not actually received by Franchisor or its designee when due shall accrue late charges equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, from the date it was due until paid. Such interest charges will be in addition to any other remedies that may be available to Franchisor.

3.6 Franchisor’s Lien. The obligations to make monthly payments required in this Section 3 shall give rise to and remain, until paid in full, a lien in favor of Franchisor against any and all of the personal property, machinery, fixtures, equipment and inventory owned by Franchisee at the Franchised Restaurant, and against the proceeds and replacements thereof. Franchisee hereby irrevocably appoints Franchisor as its attorney-in-fact (surviving any termination or expiration hereof) to execute and file in the name of Franchisee as debtor such instruments, including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, as may be required by Franchisor from time to time to evidence such lien. Franchisee shall, immediately upon Franchisor’s request, execute such documents as Franchisor may, from time to time, deem necessary to effectuate the above.

3.7 Contribution Increases. The monthly contribution to the System Fund shall be subject at any time to increase upon a majority vote cast by all System franchisees in good standing under their franchise agreements (e.g., not subject to a pending default notice from Franchisor). Each franchisee shall be provided thirty (30) days advance notice and opportunity to vote on the proposed increase and shall be entitled to one (1) vote per System Restaurant in operation, and a majority vote required for any increase shall be a majority of all restaurants represented by the votes cast. Franchisor shall provide written notice to Franchisee at least sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of any increase so approved by such majority vote.

However, Franchisee agrees that Franchisor will have absolute discretion in approving any proposed Site and Franchisee agrees to accept any of Franchisor’s decisions as final. Franchisee hereby acknowledges and agrees that Franchisor’s approval of a site does not constitute an assurance, representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, as to the suitability of the Site for the Franchised Restaurant or for any other purpose or of the financial success of operating the Franchised Restaurant at such Site.

4.3 Costs of On-Site Evaluation. If Franchisor deems necessary, Franchisor will undertake one (1) on-site evaluation of a proposed Site free of charge.

8.1 General Requirements. Recognizing the importance of the standardization of advertising programs to the furtherance of the goodwill and public image of the System, Franchisor and Franchisee agree that all advertising by Franchisee shall be conducted in a commercially acceptable manner and shall conform to such standards and requirements as Franchisor may specify from time to time in writing.

8.2 Pre-Approved Advertising. Franchisor may offer from time to time to provide, upon Franchisee’s request and at Franchisee’s expense, approved local advertising and promotional plans and materials, including, without limitation, newspaper slicks, promotional leaflets and coupons. All such advertising shall be placed in or distributed through such media or channel of communication as approved by Franchisor.

8.3 New Advertising. Samples of all planned advertising, not previously approved by Franchisor, must be submitted to Franchisor (through the mail, return receipt requested), for Franchisor’s prior approval. Upon receipt of such planned advertising, Franchisor will notify Franchisee no later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the proposed advertising whether such advertising has been approved, with no response being understood as approval. Franchisee shall not utilize any advertising which has not been approved by Franchisor, or which has been subsequently disapproved by Franchisor. All such advertising shall be placed in or distributed through such media or channel of communication as approved by Franchisor.

8.4 Minimum Advertising Expenditures. Franchisee shall spend during each calendar quarter a minimum of three percent (3%) of the Gross Sales of the Franchised Restaurant for local advertising and promotion in Franchisee’s Designated Market Area at least two-thirds (2/3) of which amount shall be spent for television advertising or advertising in some other form of media approved by Franchisor. Franchisee shall attempt to spend such amount equally throughout each month of the calendar quarter.

During the term of this Agreement, Franchisor may, upon ninety (90) days prior notice to Franchisee, increase the minimum expenditure amount to an amount not to exceed five percent (5%) of the Gross Sales of the Franchised Restaurant.


				CEC Entertainment, Inc.
		20		[City, State] Franchise

The minimum expenditure amount will be reduced by an amount equal to Franchisee’s contributions to: (i) an Advertising Cooperative, and (ii) the System Fund while the System Fund remains in effect.

8.5 System Fund. Franchisor may, at any time during the term of this Agreement, establish and/or administer the System Fund. If Franchisor establishes or has established the System Fund, Franchisee will contribute an amount described in Section 3.3. Contributions to the System Fund will be paid at the time and in the manner as described in Section 3.3, and subject to the late payment charges described in Section 3.5. Franchisor will give Franchisee at least thirty (30) days’ written notice of the establishment of new or modified System Fund.

Once established, the System Fund will be maintained and administered by Franchisor or its designee as follows:

(a) The System Fund is intended to maximize general public recognition and acceptance of the Proprietary Marks, to enhance the collective success of all System Restaurants and to further develop and maintain the Animated Entertainment. Franchisor and/or its designees will direct all advertising and other programs produced using the System Fund, and will have sole discretion to approve or disapprove the creative concepts, materials, and media used in those programs, the placement of advertisements, and the allocation of the money in the System Fund to production, placement, or other costs. In administering the System Fund, Franchisor and its designees undertake no obligation to make expenditures for Franchisee which are equivalent or proportionate to Franchisee’s contribution, or to ensure that Franchisee or any particular System Restaurant benefits directly or pro rata from the placement of advertising of the expenditure of System Fund monies.

(b) The System Fund may be used to satisfy any and all costs of maintaining, administering, directing, preparing purchasing and placing advertising (including the cost of preparing and conducting television, radio, magazine, and newspaper advertising campaigns; direct mail and outdoor billboard advertising; public relations activities; and employing advertising agencies to assist in those activities), for purchasing, leasing shipping and installing software programs, for the costs related to producing show tapes, videos and other audio, video and software components of the Animated Entertainment, including licensing rights to music and videos, and for designing, testing and implementing new entertainment concepts which may not be directly related to Animated Entertainment. All sums paid by Franchisee to the System Fund will be maintained in a separate account or accounts by Franchisor and/or its designees and may be used to defray any of Franchisor’s reasonable operating costs and overhead that Franchisor incurs in activities reasonably related to the administration or direction of the System Fund and advertising programs for franchisees and the System. The System Fund and its earnings will not otherwise inure to the benefit of


				CEC Entertainment, Inc.
		21		[City, State] Franchise

Franchisor. The System Fund is operated solely as a conduit for collecting and expending the System Fund fees as outlined above. Franchisor and its designees have no fiduciary duty to Franchisee, or any other franchisees, or their respective principals, including Franchisee’s Principals with regard to the operation or administration of the System Fund.

(c) Franchisor will, with respect to System Restaurants operated by Franchisor or any affiliate, contribute to the System Fund generally on the same basis as Franchisee.

(d) A statement of the operations of the System Fund will be prepared annually and will be made available to Franchisee upon written request.

(e) Although the System Fund is intended to be of perpetual duration, Franchisor may terminate the System Fund. The System Fund will not be terminated, however, until all monies in the System Fund have been expended or returned to contributing System Restaurants (whether franchised or operated by Franchisor or its affiliates), without interest, on the basis of their respective contributions.

(f) Franchisor reserves the right to structure the System Fund’s organization and administration in ways that, in Franchisor’s judgment, most effectively and efficiently accomplish the System Fund’s objectives. Franchisor may therefore organize or reorganize the System Fund as a separate non-profit corporation or other appropriate entity and transfer the System Fund’s assets to the entity to administer the System Fund. Franchisee agrees to become a member of the entity and, in that regard, to sign a participation agreement and take such other steps as Franchisor reasonably specifies.

(g) In the event Franchisor’s designee maintains or administers the System Fund, neither Franchisor nor its officers, directors, employees, or agents shall be liable to Franchisee for any act, error or omission committed by such designee or in connection with the designation of such designee(s).

8.6 Advertising Cooperative. Franchisor shall have the right, in its discretion, to designate any geographic area (e.g., a Designated Market Area) as a region for purposes of establishing an Advertising Cooperative to which Franchisee shall be a member. Such Cooperative will be established and operated in accordance with an advertising cooperative agreement which is attached hereto as Attachment D. If, on the date of this Agreement an Advertising Cooperative has already been established for a geographic area that encompasses the Franchised Restaurant, or if any Advertising Cooperative for that geographic area is established during the term of this Agreement, Franchisee will (immediately upon request of Franchisor) execute Attachment D hereof and any other documents required by Franchisor to become a member of the Advertising Cooperative. If the Franchised Restaurant is within the geographic area of more than one (1) Advertising Cooperative, Franchisee must be a member of only one (1) Advertising Cooperative as Franchisor designates.

(b) Franchisee shall provide the Franchisor with any additional information, agreements, certifications or documents Franchisor requests for use in its evaluation of whether to exercise its first refusal right.

(c) Upon receipt of the Franchisor’s request, Franchisee or the proposed transferee shall promptly provide Franchisor with access to any real or personal property, documents or records relevant to the transaction and to the interest which is the subject of the Transfer.

(f) In the event the consideration, terms, and/or conditions offered by the third party are such that Franchisor or its nominee may not reasonably be able to furnish the same consideration, terms, and/or conditions, then Franchisor or its nominee, as appropriate, may purchase the interest proposed to be transferred for the reasonable equivalent in cash. If the parties cannot agree, within a reasonable time, on the reasonable equivalent in cash of the consideration, terms, and/or conditions offered by the third party, an independent appraiser shall be designated by Franchisor, and such appraiser’s determination shall be binding.


				CEC Entertainment, Inc.
		32		[City, State] Franchise

11.2.3 Death or Disability. Within fifteen (15) days after the death or permanent disability of Franchisee or any of Franchisee’s Principals, Franchisee or a representative of Franchisee must notify Franchisor in writing. Any transfer upon death or permanent disability will be subject to the same terms and conditions as described in this Section for any inter vivos transfer.

Upon the death of Franchisee (if a natural person) or any Franchisee’s Principal who is a natural person and who has an interest in this Agreement, in the Franchised Restaurant, or in Franchisee, the executor, administrator, or other person representative of the deceased will transfer the interest of the deceased to a third party approved by Franchisor within twelve (12) months after the date of death. If no personal representative is designated or appointed and no probate proceedings are instituted with respect to the estate of the deceased, then the distributee of the interest of the deceased must be approved by Franchisor. If the distributee is not approved by Franchisor, then the distributee will transfer the interest of the deceased to a third party approved by Franchisor within twelve (12) months after the date of death of the deceased.

Upon the permanent disability of Franchisee (if a natural person) or any of Franchisee’s Principals who is a natural person and who has an interest in this Agreement, in the Franchised Restaurant or in Franchisee, Franchisor may require the interest to be transferred to a third party in accordance with the conditions described in this Section 11 within six (6) months after notice to Franchisee. For purposes of this Section 11.2.3, “permanent disability” means any physical, emotional, or mental injury, illness, or incapacity that would prevent a person from performing the obligations set forth in this Agreement or in the Guaranty made part of this Agreement for at least ninety (90) consecutive days, and from which condition recovery within ninety (90) days from the date of determination of disability is unlikely. If the parties disagree as to whether a person is permanently disabled, the existence of permanent disability will be determined by a licensed practicing physician selected by Franchisor, upon examination of the person; or if the person refuses to submit to an examination, then (for the purpose of this Section 11.2.3) the person automatically will be considered permanently disabled as of the date of refusal. The costs of any examination required by this Section 11.2.3 will be paid by Franchisor.

If an interest is not transferred upon death or permanent disability as required in this Section 11.2.3 then the failure will constitute a material event of default under this Agreement.

		33		[City, State] Franchise

express or imply (by use of the Proprietary Marks or otherwise) that Franchisor is participating in an underwriting, issuance or public offering of Franchisee, Franchisee’s Principals, or Franchisor securities. Franchisor may, at its option, require such offering materials to contain a written statement prescribed by Franchisor concerning the limitations described in the preceding sentence;

(c) Franchisee, Franchisee’s Principals and the other participants in the registration and offering must fully indemnify Franchisor in connection with the offering;

(d) For each proposed public offering, other than offerings which are exempt from registration, Franchisee shall pay to Franchisor a non-refundable fee of Ten Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($10,000.00) or such greater amount as is necessary to reimburse Franchisor for its reasonable costs and expenses associated with reviewing the proposed offering, including, without limitation, legal and accounting fees;

(e) Franchisor’s receipt of a legal opinion from counsel satisfactory to Franchisor stating (a) that the offering materials and the conduct of the securities offering comply in all material respects with the laws of the applicable Territory Segment from which an offer of securities originates or into which an offer of securities is directed, and (b) that neither the conduct nor consummation of the securities offering will result in a violation of any anti-terrorism or anti- money laundering laws.

(h) Leases. If Franchisee leases the Franchised Restaurant premises or leases any equipment used in the operation of the Franchised Restaurant from a third party, then Franchisee will, at Franchisor’s option, assign to Franchisor any interest that Franchisee has in the lease or sublease. Franchisor may exercise this option at any time within thirty (30) days from and including either the date of termination or (subject to any existing right to renew) expiration of this Agreement.

In any event, closing will take place at Franchisor’s corporate offices or at such other location Franchisor may designate.

(i) Purchase Options. Except as provided in Section13.4(h) (with respect to leased equipment), Franchisor will have the option, to be exercised within thirty (30) days from and including either the date of termination or expiration of this Agreement (unless appraisals are needed as described below, in which case such option shall be exercised within thirty (30) days after such appraisals are provided), to purchase from Franchisee any or all of the furnishings, equipment, signs, fixtures, motor vehicles, supplies, and inventory of Franchisee related to the operation of the Franchised Restaurant, at Franchisee’s cost or fair market value, whichever is less. Franchisor will purchase Franchisee’s assets only and will assume no liabilities whatsoever, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties. If the parties cannot agree on the fair market value within thirty (30) days after Franchisor’s exercise of its option, fair market value will be determined by two appraisers, with each party selecting one appraiser, and the average of their determinations will be binding. In the event of such appraisal, each party will bear its own legal and other costs and will split the appraisal fees equally.

With respect to the option described in this Section13.4(i) Franchisee will deliver to Franchisor, in a form satisfactory to Franchisor, such warranties, deeds, releases of lien, bills of sale, assignments, and any other documents and instruments necessary in order to perfect Franchisor’s title and possession in and to the properties being purchased or assigned and to meet the requirements of all tax and government authorities. If, at the time of closing, Franchisee has not obtained all of these certificates and other documents, Franchisor may, in its sole discretion, place the purchase price or rent in escrow pending issuance of any required certificates or documents.

		42		[City, State] Franchise

The time for closing of the purchase and sale of the properties described in this Section13.4(i) will be a date not later than sixty (60) days after the purchase price is determined by the parties or the determination of the appraisers, or such date Franchisor receives and obtains all necessary permits and approvals, whichever is later, unless the parties mutually agree to designate another date. Closing will take place at Franchisor’s corporate offices or at such other location as Franchisor may designate.

This power of attorney will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. Franchisee will thereafter use different telephone numbers and e-mail addresses or listings at or in connection with any subsequent business conducted by Franchisee.

(l) Cease to Use and Cease to Operate.
