3.
Cessation of Development.
 
a. For purposes of this Agreement, Sublicensee shall be deemed to have ceased development if Sublicensee has not, in any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, opened three (3) new Restaurants.
 
b. If Sublicensee ceases development:
 
(i). Sublicensor shall have the exclusive right and option to purchase the entire (and not less than the entire) Membership Interest of Outback in Sublicensee for its Fair Market Value.
 
(ii). Determination of Fair Market Value. For the purposes of this Section 3, the “Fair Market Value” of the Membership Interest at issue shall be determined in the following manner:
 
(i) Outback and Sublicensor shall in good faith attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Value of Outback’s Membership Interest within ten (10) days following Outback’s receipt of Sublicensor’s notice of exercise of its purchase option. If there is no agreement on the Fair Market Value, Outback and Sublicensor shall in good faith attempt to agree upon a mutually acceptable appraiser within fifteen (15) days following the date of the notice of exercise. In the event they fail to so agree, two (2) appraisers shall be appointed within thirty (30) days following the date of the notice of exercise, one by Outback, and one by Sublicensor. If Outback, on the one hand, or Sublicensor, on the other hand, fail to appoint an appraiser within the thirty (30) day period specified herein, the sole appraiser appointed within such thirty (30) day period shall be the sole appraiser for the purposes of determining Fair Market Value of Outback’s Membership Interest to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3. Outback and Sublicensor shall promptly provide notice of the name of the appraiser so appointed by such party to the other. The initial two appraisers shall in good faith attempt to agree on the appointment of a third appraiser within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of the thirty (30) day period. If the first two appraisers fail to agree upon a third appraiser within such fifteen (15) day period, either Outback or Sublicensor may demand the appointment of an appraiser be made by the then director of the Regional Office of the American Arbitration Association located nearest to Orlando, Florida, in which event the appraiser appointed thereby shall be the third appraiser. Each of the appraisers shall submit to Outback and Sublicensor, within thirty (30) days after the final appraiser has been appointed (“Appraisal Period”), a written appraisal (the “Appraisal”) of the Fair Market Value of Outback’s Membership Interest.
 
(ii) In connection with any appraisal conducted pursuant to this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that any appraiser appointed hereunder shall be given full access during normal business hours to all information required and relevant to a valuation of Outback’s Membership Interest.
 
(iii) If three appraisers are appointed, the Fair Market Value of Outback’s Membership Interest in question shall be equal to the numerical average of three appraised determinations; provided, however, that if the difference between any two appraisals is not more than ten percent (10%) of the lower of the two, and the third appraisal differs by more
 
7

 
than twenty-five percent (25%) of the lower of the other two appraisals, the numerical average of such two appraisals shall be determinative.
 
(iv) Any appraiser, to be qualified to conduct an appraisal hereunder, shall be an independent appraiser (i.e., not affiliated with Outback, its officers, directors or controlling persons, Sublicensor or the MHI Principals), an M.A.I. appraiser or its equivalent, and shall be reasonably competent as an expert to appraise the value of the Membership Interest. If any appraiser initially appointed under this Agreement shall, for any reason, be unable to serve, a successor appraiser shall be promptly appointed in accordance with the procedures pursuant to which the predecessor appraiser was appointed.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the determination of the Fair Market Value of Outback’s Membership Interest by appraisal is not completed and all appraisal reports delivered as provided herein within the Appraisal Period, then all closing, payment, and similar dates subsequent thereto shall be automatically extended one (1) day for each day delivery of the appraisal reports is delayed beyond the end of the Appraisal Period.
 
(v) The cost of the appraiser appointed by each party shall be borne by each such party. The cost of the third appraiser, if any, or the sole appraiser, in the event Outback and Sublicensor mutually agree upon a single appraiser, shall be borne equally by Outback and Sublicensor.
 
c. Exercise of Rights.
 
(i) Sublicensor shall exercise the purchase option contained herein by giving written notice thereof (“Notice of Election”) to Outback within sixty (60) days of the date of cessation of development (being the first day of the calendar month following the expiration of the applicable period). If not timely and properly exercised as provided in this Section, Sublicensor’s purchase option shall lapse and shall thereafter be null and void.
 
(ii) The closing for any purchase hereunder shall be consummated and closed in the Company’s principal office on a date and at a time designated by Sublicensor in a notice to Outback, provided such consummation and closing date shall occur within ninety (90) days from the end of the Appraisal Period. At such closing, Outback shall execute and deliver all documents and instruments as are necessary and appropriate, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, to effectuate the transfer of Outback’s Membership Interest and Sublicensor shall deliver the purchase price.
 
d.  If Sublicensee ceases development and Sublicensor does not timely exercise its purchase option, then Sublicensee shall have twelve (12) months from date of cessation of development to sell the existing Restaurants to a buyer that intends to resume development of the Restaurants pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (“Buyer”). Sublicensor shall have the final right of approval over any Buyer presented by Sublicensee pursuant to this Paragraph 3e., which approval Sublicensor may withhold at Sublicensor’s sole discretion.
 
e. If Buyer is approved by Sublicensor, Buyer shall have the following amount of time from date of Buyer’s closing on the purchase in which to resume development of the Restaurants. Buyer shall be deemed to have resumed development pursuant to this Agreement

when: (i) Buyer opens at least one (1) new Restaurant within eighteen (18) months of closing and (ii) Buyer can show at least one (1) signed agreement for the opening of a second Restaurant in a twelve (12) month period.
 
f. If the Restaurants are not sold by Sublicensee within twelve (12) months of Sublicensee’s cessation of development for any reason, or if a subsequent Buyer does not resume development as provided in Subparagraph 3.f., this Agreement shall become non-exclusive. In any such event, Sublicensor shall have the right to use the Licensed Marks on any restaurant which is more than a 75 mile geographic radius mile from an existing Restaurant.

Sublicensee may, at its sole discretion, choose to supplement the royalty amount so that it does not fall below $ 25 million per year.
 
h. No Denigration. Sublicensee shall not denigrate or cause the denigration of the Licensed Marks, and shall not take any other action not approved by Sublicensor as provided herein that is harmful or potentially harmful to or which disparages, ridicules or demeans the goodwill and reputation of Sublicensor, Jimmy Buffett or the Licensed Marks.

i. Third-Party Sublicenses. Sublicensee shall obtain a license for the use by Sublicensee of any intellectual property owned or controlled by a third party which is neither Sublicensed pursuant to this Agreement nor created by Sublicensee.

Quality, Notices, Approvals and Samples.
 
a. Sublicensor’s Right of Approval.
 
Sublicensee acknowledges that the loyalty of Jimmy Buffett’s fans is an asset of tremendous value to Sublicensor and Jimmy Buffett, and that meeting fan expectations for a quality, fun experience at the Restaurants is of paramount importance. To that end, Sublicensor, for its own protection and as the quality control representative of Jimmy Buffett, shall, provided that such right is not exercised in a manner intended to frustrate the purpose of the grant of the sublicense, have the right to approve or disapprove (1) the taste, texture and quality of Food items; (2) each particular use of the Licensed Marks; and (3) each particular use of the “Cheeseburger in Paradise” song, including, but not limited to:
 
(i) use of the Licensed Marks in connection with the design, manufacture, packaging, promotion and sale of Products;
 
(ii) use of the Licensed Marks in connection with the Products;
 
(iii) the methods of advertising, promoting or marketing the Products or Restaurants, including without limitation, (a) the incorporation of any element of the Licensed Marks into any design of the Restaurants, audio or video programming at the Restaurants, or other entertainment programming at the Restaurants and (b) promotions,
 
12

 
sponsorships, advertising or tradeouts in and/or for the Restaurants or that focus primarily on the Restaurants;
 
(iv) any other materials or articles of any kind or nature that use the Licensed Marks; and
 
(v) the use of the “Cheeseburger in Paradise” song in any audio or video promotions or advertising in and/or for the Restaurants and, if approved in writing in advance of such use, any other use of that song approved by Margaritaville Holdings.
 
b. Submission of Proposed Uses for Approval. Sublicensee shall submit to Sublicensor, for approval, prototypes or samples of each Product, prior to the manufacture or dissemination of such Product. The Product shall be submitted with its proposed labeling and packaging, if possible, but no Product shall be deemed approved unless and until its labeling and packaging are also approved, if they are submitted separately. If Sublicensee elects to first submit a design, which Sublicensor approves, Sublicensee must still, except with respect to matched print advertising, thereafter submit a prototype or sample for Sublicensor's approval. With respect to matched print advertising, Sublicensee must provide Sublicensor with a copy of the advertisement as it appeared in any and all media promptly upon the first appearance of the advertisement in any medium. As an example, if the identical advertisement is run for three succeeding days in the same newspaper, Sublicensee need provide only the first day’s advertisement, but Sublicensee shall indicate the additional days on which the advertisement will appear in that newspaper. Prototypes submitted by Sublicensee shall, upon Sublicensee’s written request, be returned by Sublicensor. It shall not, however, be a breach of this Agreement if Sublicensor fails to return a prototype. Sublicensee shall submit to Sublicensor, for approval, a CD for each audio use and a DVD for each video use of the “Cheeseburger in Paradise” song, depicting the particular use of the song. 
 
c. Sublicensor’s Approval of Proposed Uses.
 
Sublicensor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to send a written notice of approval or disapproval of each submission as outlined in Paragraph l0.b. within fifteen (15) calendar days following Sublicensor’s receipt of the submitted item. Written approval or disapproval shall be sent via facsimile or nationally recognized overnight courier service that obtains acknowledgment of receipt by the addressee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, failure of Sublicensee to receive written approval of any such submitted item within fifteen (15) calendar days following Sublicensor’s receipt of Sublicensee’s submission, which receipt can be verified by independent documentation produced by Sublicensee, shall constitute approval of the proposed use. However, if Sublicensor provides Sublicensee with written confirmation that Sublicensee may use such submitted item, even after the expiration of a 15-day period, Sublicensee is authorized, subject to the terms and conditions of this sublicense, to use the submitted item. Sublicensor’s approval, given during a Management Committee meeting (as designated in the Operating Agreement) shall constitute approval in accordance with the requirements of this Paragraph 10.c. Sublicensee shall not have the right to use the Licensed Marks or any element thereof unless the particular use by Sublicensee has been approved by Sublicensor as provided in this Paragraph l0.c.
 
13

 
d. Conformity of Sublicensed Uses to Approved Samples.
 
All Sublicensed Uses shall conform in all respects, including style, appearance, materials, contents, workmanship and overall quality, to the prototypes or samples that Sublicensor has approved in writing.
 
(i) If any Sublicensed Use later fails to conform to the approved prototype or sample, then, within seven (7) calendar days after Sublicensee’s receipt of written notice to that effect from Sublicensor, Sublicensor shall have the right to withdraw its approval of the Sublicensed Use(s) by delivery of a further written notice if the failure identified in the initial notice has not been cured. Sublicensee shall then, upon receipt of such further notice, immediately cease use of the particular Sublicensed Use(s) identified in the notice.
 
(ii) Upon Sublicensor’s request, Sublicensee will furnish to Sublicensor, without charge, a reasonable number of samples of each Product, with its usual packaging and labeling, if applicable, to permit Sublicensor to confirm that Sublicensor’s standards are being observed. Sublicensor or its representatives shall also have the right, at any time during normal business hours for the Restaurants, to inspect Products at the Restaurants or wherever Products are sold, and take a reasonable number of samples for purposes of quality inspection, and shall have the right to visit the plant or plants where the Products are made at any time during normal business hours for purposes of quality inspection. For purposes of this Subparagraph 10.d.(ii) only, if any Merchandise comes in various colors and sizes, such as a T-shirt, all the colors and sizes collectively shall constitute one item of Merchandise, and samples of each size and color need not be provided.
 
e. Restaurants.
 
(i) Material aspects of the Restaurants’ design and operating plans shall be subject to Sublicensor’s approval, which right shall not be exercised so as to frustrate the purpose of the grant of this sublicense. The approval of both parties shall be required regarding Sublicensee’s policies on accommodating Jimmy Buffett fan clubs at the Restaurants. Sublicensor has the right and shall be given the opportunity to inspect each Restaurant at any time during its construction and after all construction and interior decor and fitting out is completed and each Restaurant is ready to open.
 
(ii) No material aspect of the System shall be changed without Sublicensor’s approval in writing, which right shall not be exercised so as to frustrate the purpose of the grant of this sublicense.
 
(iii) Sublicensor shall have the right to inspect all areas (public and non-public) of each Restaurant at any time, to be served food and drink during regular hours of service which, when consumed in public areas of each Restaurant, shall be free of charge during regular hours of service; to interview management and staff; and to inspect records (including, without limitation, letters or notes regarding customer complaints) to make sure that Sublicensor’s standards are being observed. Further, the overall quality of each
 
14

 
      Restaurant shall not be less than that of either the existing Outback Steakhouse restaurants or existing Margaritaville Restaurants.
 
f. Ownership of Artwork.
 
(i) All depictions of the Artwork and the copyright in all Artwork shall be solely and exclusively owned by Sublicensor, except as otherwise provided in Subparagraph 10.f.(iii). Notwithstanding Sublicensor’s ownership of all Artwork, Sublicensor agrees that prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement it will not use Artwork developed by Sublicensee unless Sublicensee has consented to such use, it being acknowledged by Sublicensee that Sublicensor has the right to use any underlying Licensed Mark that is incorporated in any such Artwork.
 
(ii) Any and all original Artwork shall be sent to Sublicensor at no cost and prepaid at Sublicensor’s request not later than thirty (30) days following the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
 
(iii) To the extent that Sublicensee uses Outback Property on Products, Sublicensor agrees that the Outback Property shall continue to be solely owned by Outback and that Sublicensor shall not register as a trademark or service mark any mark that includes Outback Property. Sublicensor shall indicate on any copyright application in which the deposit specimen incorporates an element of Outback Property that the Outback Property is a preexisting work excluded from the scope of copyright sought.
 
g. Approval not a Warranty. Sublicensor’s approval of a Sublicensed Use or Artwork does not mean that Sublicensor has determined that the item conforms to applicable laws, that the item is safe or fit for its intended purpose or that the item does not infringe the intellectual property or contractual tights of others, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. Sublicensor may also revoke an approval if the item subsequently proves to be unsafe, to be deficient in quality, to violate any law or to violate the rights of others that are subsequently learned to have existed at the time approval was granted.
 
h. Licensed Marks and Newly Developed Marks.
 
(i) Sublicensee shall have the right to request that existing or newly developed names, trademarks or service marks that incorporate an element of the Licensed Marks be included in Exhibit B hereto as Licensed Marks and Sublicensor shall have the right to reasonably grant or deny such request. The denial of such a request on the ground that Sublicensee does not control the particular element of the Licensed Marks for which a use is sought, or on the ground that existing rights of a third party prevent approval of the request, shall not be deemed to frustrate the purpose of the grant of this Agreement.
 
(ii) Sublicensee shall own any Newly Developed Marks, consisting of trademarks or service marks that do not incorporate any element of the Licensed Marks.
 
15

 
(iii) With respect to elements of the Licensed Marks that are subsequently included in Exhibit B hereto in accordance with Subparagraphs 10.h.(i) and (ii), Sublicense must still seek approval of each Sublicensed Use (as defined herein) of each new element of the Licensed Marks pursuant to Paragraph 10.b. hereof. To the extent that Sublicensor or Sublicensor’s principal intellectual property attorneys are, at the time approval is requested, aware of exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in this Sublicense as they relate to certain of such additional Licensed Marks, Sublicensor will provide Sublicensee with such information. It is contemplated that such information will be added to the Disclosures set forth in Exhibit A of this Agreement, as appropriate, but it shall not be a breach of this Agreement if instead the information is conveyed to Sublicensee in written form at the time the approval is given.
 
(iv) At the time that Sublicensor grants approval of an element of a Licensed Mark for proposed use as a trademark or service mark, if the Licensed Mark is not already registered as a federal trademark or service mark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the goods or services on which the Licensed Mark is proposed to be used, then Sublicensee will bear the cost of searching the availability of the mark for use and registration and prosecution of any subsequent trademark application. Sublicensor will control the process of searching, registering and protecting such subject trademark application and will cooperate with Sublicensor’s intellectual property attorneys in order to facilitate any search, registration and/or prosecution of such subsequent trademark application. If Jimmy Buffett and/or Sublicensor (and/or any entities Controlled by Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett) thereafter makes use of the mark for such goods or services outside the Restaurants prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Sublicensor will, within seven (7) days after Sublicensor’s receipt of a written reimbursement request from Sublicensee, reimburse Sublicensee for Sublicensee’s actual out-of-pocket costs of having searched the mark and prosecuted the trademark application.
 
i. Third-Party Consents and Payments.
 
(i) Any use of any element of the intellectual property of Jimmy Buffett by Sublicensee, other than the use of the Licensed Marks pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to the use by Sublicensee of any element of any book, short story or other literary property authored or co-authored by Jimmy Buffett and the use by Sublicensee of any element of any musical composition recorded by Jimmy Buffett such as music, lyrics, song titles or concert videos (collectively, “Other Use”) shall be subject to Sublicensee’s obligation: (1) to obtain the consent of all appropriate third parties, including but not limited to publishers, record companies, unions, guilds, and public performance societies; and (2) to pay all third-party license fees, royalties and other costs in connection therewith; provided, however, that, if such Other Use is otherwise approved by Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett (and/or any entities Controlled by Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett) pursuant to this Agreement, Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett (and/or any entities Controlled by Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett) shall grant or cause its Affiliates to grant to Sublicensee the requested consent for such Other Use to the
 
16

 
extent that Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett (and/or any entities Controlled by Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett) control such Other Use, and Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett (and/or any entities Controlled by Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett) shall use reasonable efforts to facilitate Sublicensee’s attempts to obtain third-party consents for such Other Use to the extent that Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett (and/or any entities Controlled by Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett) do not control such Other Use.
 
(ii) Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett (and/or any entities Controlled by Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett) shall not receive any compensation for their consent to the Other Use pursuant to Subparagraph 10.(i)(i)(3) hereof other than (1) the Royalties and/or Fees described in Paragraph 7 of this Agreement and (2) royalties, except for the song “Cheeseburger In Paradise”, ordinarily paid by or to book publishers, music publishers, record companies and their respective creative contributors (e.g., authors, recording artists, producers and songwriters) for the exploitation of books, audio recordings, visual recordings, and audio-visual recordings (collectively, “Primary Copyright Material”) in any configuration or media now known or hereinafter developed, including in any electronic media, other than as an element of a restaurant design, a menu, or an item of merchandise that is not an item of actual Primary Copyright Material.
 
j. Prototypes. Both parties acknowledge that it is the intent but not the obligation of the parties to use McBride and Company for the development of the prototype and design of the CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE marks and logos, so long as McBride and Company is reasonable in determining any financial obligation of Sublicensee for such development. Failure to retain McBride and Company shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.
 
11.      Required Markings. Sublicensee will display on Products any legends, markings or notices that are required by law or that Sublicensor may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing. Sublicensee shall not make any reference to the Licensed Marks without including the ® or TM symbol, as appropriate, and including the notation “[mark] is used under license.” Sublicensee may only eliminate any or all legends, markings, notices or references with the express prior approval of Sublicensor. Upon receipt of written notice from Sublicensor, Sublicensee shall have seven (7) days to cure any omissions of such legends, markings or notices.

Sublicensee agrees reasonably to cooperate with Sublicensor in protecting the Licensed Marks, and for that purpose, Sublicensee will supply to Sublicensor or its representatives from time to time and at no charge such samples, containers, labels and similar material, and information regarding the Products or services offered under this Agreement, as reasonably may be required. Sublicensee also will execute and deliver to Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett (and/or any entities Controlled by Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett), at any time, whether during or after the Term of this Agreement and without further consideration, such instruments of transfer and other documents as Sublicensor may prepare and reasonably request in order to confirm Sublicensor’s and/or Jimmy Buffett’s copyright or trademark ownership rights.
 
b. Sublicensee agrees that it shall not at any time, anywhere in the world, apply for any registration of any copyright, trademark or other designation which would affect the ownership of the Licensed Marks by Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett (and/or any entities Controlled by Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett) nor file any document with any governmental authority to take any action which would affect the ownership of the Licensed Marks by Sublicensor and/or by Jimmy Buffett (and/or any entities Controlled by Sublicensor and/or Jimmy Buffett).

The agreement specifically provides for the development of restaurants and sale of products in a Territory consisting of: Jamaica, Cayman Islands, St. Lucia, Dominican Republic, Dominica, Barbados, Antigua, Grenada, St. Maarten, Turks & Caicos Islands, British Virgin Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Cuba, including airports in those countries.

30

 
L.L.C. and the limited partner of which is Universal City Development Partners. Pursuant to this agreement, Buffett granted to Universal an exclusive license to develop a Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Cafe restaurant or a restaurant, night club or other venue primarily for food or beverage in the "exclusive territory". Buffett agreed not to open a competing establishment in a territory consisting of: a territory that is within (1)  a 150 mile radius of the Universal venue or (2)  any gated-attraction theme park (or entertainment complex attached to a theme park) in the State of Florida with an annual attendance of at least 500,000 customers. Further, Buffett granted a non-exclusive license to Universal to use any and all copyrights, song titles, trademarks, and other intellectual property owned by Buffett (or any Buffett affiliate), except the mark MARGARITAVILLE as a promotional slogan in connection with the sale of margarita cocktails in restaurants (pursuant to the Chi-Chi’s Agreement), and A1A and Design for clothing and headwear. The CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE mark is specifically licensed to Universal for : (1)  T-shirts and sweatshirts and (2) sandwiches; the JIMMY BUFFETT’S mark is specifically licensed to Universal for restaurant/nightclub and souvenir store services; and the MARGARITAVILLE and JIMMY BUFFETT’S MARGARITAVILLE marks are specifically licensed for restaurant/nightclub and souvenir store services, T-shirts, sweatshirts, polo shirts, outerwear, headwear, beverage glassware and cups.
 
However, the license agreement is potentially broad enough to include uses of the above marks by Universal for unlimited goods and services sold either through the restaurant or channels of trade with approval by Buffett, which approval can be withdrawn at any time at Buffett's sole discretion upon seven (7) days notice to Universal. Such discretion must be exercised reasonably according to the express terms of the agreement based on circumstances other than a legal issue raised by Universal’s use of such item, or a use by Universal that is inconsistent with an approved use previously granted by Buffett for a particular item. Uses of the marks other than for the specifically designated goods are designated non-essential to the terms of the license in Paragraph  3(b).
 
All artwork depicting the marks, notwithstanding its invention, is property of Buffett, but can only be used by Buffett with Universal’s consent during the term of the license.

III. Settlement/Coexistence Agreements
 
A. Cheeseburger In Paradise, Inc.
 Hawaii Settlement Agreement

The owners of a restaurant in Hawaii (CIPI) own U. S. Registration No. 1,765,057 for CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE and Design for restaurant and bar services; Registration No. 2,418,610 for CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE for restaurant and bar services; Application Ser. No. 75/553,387 for CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE & Design for restaurant and bar services; and Application Ser. No. 75/978,135 for CHEESEBURGER IS A STATE OF MIND for restaurant and bar services.
 
 Pursuant to a confidential settlement agreement and Court Order issued by the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division, CIPI has limited its use of the CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE marks within the United States to (1)  the name of no more than one restaurant in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii and one restaurant in Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii; (2)  menu items at each of the two restaurants; and (3)  promotion of the restaurants. Outside of the U.S., CIPI has limited its use of the CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE marks to Mexico and Japan.
 
Pursuant to that same Settlement Agreement and Court Order, Jimmy Buffett or any company in which Jimmy Buffett is a majority shareholder or controlling party, has the right to use the CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE mark anywhere in the world, except that in Hawaii, Mexico and Japan only, Buffett shall not use the mark on, in connection with or as a name of a bar, casino, restaurant, nightclub, lodging or resort services; as a food item; or on a food menu
 
other than either in an ornamental manner with at least, and no more prominently than one other song, book or play title or other word mark of [Buffett]; or as a mark for or in connection with merchandise items, provided other merchandise items without that mark also appear or are mentioned in the same section of the menu. ¶7(a)(ii).
 
36

 
The agreement expressly states that CIPI shall not be limited in the number of restaurants it may open in Hawaii bearing the CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE mark. Additionally, CIPI has limited rights to sell merchandise bearing the CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE mark.
 
Buffett may not use or display the CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE mark anywhere in the world in the manner specifically depicted in CIPI's Registration No.  1,765,057 (below):

 
(CIPI Design)

 
Buffett is permitted to use the CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE song title or mark anywhere in the world in conjunction with the promotion, advertising or marketing of any goods, merchandise, services or businesses in any media, including via the Internet, mass mailings of catalogs or any other means, provided that within the U.S., such marketing, advertising or promotion is not disseminated primarily to Hawaii," and “within Mexico and/or Japan, such advertising, marketing or promotion is not primarily targeted to areas where Defendants [CIPI] have provided [Buffett] with written notice . . . that [CIPI] . . . or any other company of which any one or more of the Defendants [CIPI] is a majority shareholder or controlling party, owns or operates a restaurant under the name ‘Cheeseburger in Paradise’.”
 
Despite this Settlement Agreement, CIPI has recently opposed Licensor’s use of the CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE & Design marks for jewelry, beverage glassware, clothing and nightclub services in the U.S. (Single Palm Design and Multiple Palm Design). The Board dismissed the oppositions with prejudice. A lawsuit filed by Jimmy Buffett against CIPI in federal court in California for violations of the Settlement Agreement is currently pending.

Pursuant to the terms of a co-existence agreement between Buffett and Tropic Isle Foods, Inc., Tropic Isle will not object to use or registration of MARGARITAVILLE by Buffett for any goods, services and business throughout the world, including Northern California and Hawaii, except Buffett cannot use MARGARITAVILLE as the name of a restaurant in Northern California or on the four main Hawaiian islands.

As a minor sideline to the restaurant, Tropic Isle can manufacture, sell or give away, in their MARGARITAVILLE restaurants in Northern California and Hawaii, certain souvenir items at a cashier’s counter or another small counter in the restaurant or in response to unsolicited remote orders. Tropic Isle retains state registrations for MARGARITAVILLE in California and Hawaii.
 
C. Agreement between Jimmy Buffett and Kukai Caliente
 
On July 31, 1990, Jimmy Buffett and Kukai Caliente, Inc. entered into a settlement agreement as a result of Kukai Caliente’s use of MARGARITAVILLE as the name of a chain of Mexican restaurants in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Maine. Pursuant to the agreement, Kukai Caliente agreed to immediately and permanently cease all use of the MARGARITAVILLE mark and within 60 days file express abandonments or cancellations of any federal, state or foreign trademark or service mark registrations including the term MARGARITAVILLE.

Unauthorized Uses of the CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE MARK - United States
 
In the U.S., there are unauthorized third-party uses of marks or business names that include components of the CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE mark. Most are small producers of T-shirts and other merchandise and single-location restaurants and bars. It can be extremely difficult to detect such small unauthorized users and it is likely that there are other unauthorized users of which Sublicensor is unaware. The continuing unauthorized uses about which Sublicensor knows, and their status, are identified below.
 

For purposes of this Exhibit, Licensor’s knowledge is defined as actual knowledge or the actual knowledge of Licensor’s principal intellectual property attorneys. Licensor does not regularly survey business databases and the Internet looking for unauthorized uses. Past infringements that to the best of Licensor’s knowledge have ended are not included in this Exhibit. Below is an initial summary of existing third-party infringements:
 
Online Infringements - There are a number of online infringers, who utilize eBay, CafePress, or their own domain names to sell unauthorized merchandise. We regularly police and shut down these infringers. If you would like information on specific online infringements, please request it in writing.
 
Altoona, Iowa - The Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino purportedly offered “Paradise Cheeseburgers” in connection with a “Jimmy Buffett night” in June 2004. We contacted them and they agreed to stop this infringement.
 
      We have docketed the matter for follow-up in June 2005 to confirm they do not use the mark again in 2005.
 
Boone/Blowing Rock, North Carolina - We received a report in 1995 that this single-location restaurant is operating under the name Cheeseburger in Paradise." At one time, the restaurant owner filed a federal trademark application to register CHEESEBURGERS IN PARADISE NEIGHBORHOOD GRILLE& BAR (and Design) for restaurant services, which application was abandoned in 1993.

The restaurant owner agreed to change the name of his restaurant to CHEESEBURGERS GRILLE AND PARADISE BAR. We are in the process of  negotiating a settlement agreement.
 
Lee Island, Florida - We received a report of the Cabbage Key Restaurant making claims that its “Cabbage Key Burger” was the inspiration behind “Cheeseburger in Paradise.” Investigation suggests that Cabbage Key Restaurant does not offer a “Cheeseburger in Paradise” menu item. We are in the process of following up on this matter.
 
Milwaukee, Oregon - We received a report that the River Road house Sports Bar  & Grill restaurant features “Burgers in Paradise,” Bigger Burgers in Paradise” and “Chicken in Paradise” menu items and a Jimmy Buffett-related theme. We are in the process of following up on this matter.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - In 1997, we received a report of this “Margaritaville” restaurant which also offers a “Cheeseburger in Paradise” menu item. A cease and desist letter was sent but the restaurant owners refused to cooperate aside from discontinuing the restaurant’s website. Based on the restaurant’s length of use of the marks, this matter was not pursued.
