7.2. Transfer by Developer. Developer and Developer’s Principals understand and acknowledge that the rights and duties set forth in this Development Agreement are personal to Developer and are granted, in part, in reliance upon the skill, aptitude, business and financial capacity of Developer and Developer’s Principals and their intention of complying with its terms and conditions. Therefore, if the Developer and/or Developer’s Principals desire to Transfer any interest to any individual or entity (including a trust), they must first obtain the prior written approval of Franchisor. Any such attempted Transfer not approved by Franchisor shall be null and void from its purported inception.

Prior to authorizing such Transfer, Franchisor may require, among other things, satisfaction of any or all of the following:

(a) Developer shall be in full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

(b) Developer and/or any Developer’s Principal shall remain liable for the performance of its obligations contained in this Agreement through the date of Transfer and shall execute all instruments reasonably requested by Developer to evidence such liability;

(c) The transferee shall satisfy, in Franchisor’s judgment, Franchisor’s then existing criteria for a developer including, without limitation: (i) education; (ii) business skill, experience and aptitude; (iii) character and reputation; and (iv) financial resources;

(d) The transferee and all owners of any record or beneficial interest in the capital stock (or other interest) of transferee shall execute all instruments (including a new development agreement and guaranty) reasonably requested by Franchisor to evidence acceptance and assumption of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such new development agreement may contain terms materially different from this Agreement; and

(e) Developer pays a transfer fee equal to (i) one half (¹ /2) of the development fee contained herein, if the Developer does not have a majority Equity Interest (as reasonably determined by Franchisor) in the transferee or (ii) an amount equal to the reasonable costs incurred by Franchisor in connection with the Transfer among Developers principals, but in no event less than One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,000.00). Developer and Developer’s Principals (if applicable) must have executed a general release, in a form satisfactory to Franchisor, of any and all claims against Franchisor, its affiliates, and the officers, directors, members, shareholders, partners, agents, representatives, independent contractors, servants and employees of each of them, in their corporate and individual capacities, including, without limitation, claims arising under this Agreement and any other agreement between Developer or any of Developer’s affiliates and Franchisor’s or any of its affiliates or under federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations or orders.

7.3. Right of First Refusal. In the event that Developer and/or any of Developer’s Principals or any holder of an Equity Interest in Developer desire to effectuate a Transfer, Franchisor shall have the right and option, exercisable within thirty (30) days after Franchisor’s receipt of all materials and information described Section 7.3(a), (b), (c) and (e) to purchase the interest proposed to be transferred in accordance with the following:

(a) Developer or the proposed transferee shall notify Franchisor in writing of any bona fide proposed Transfer and set forth a complete description of all terms and fees of the proposed Transfer in the manner prescribed by the Franchisor, including the prospective transferee’s name, address, financial qualifications and previous five years business experience;

(b) Developer shall provide 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, Developer 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. Once Franchisor has received all materials submitted by Developer or the proposed transferee and has reviewed all property, records and documents it has requested, Franchisor shall notify Developer or the proposed transferee of its decision to exercise its option to acquire the interest being transferred, and the conditions, if any, under which it will approve the proposed Transfer.

(d) If the Franchisor exercises its first refusal right, the transferor shall transfer the interest to Franchisor or to its assignee pursuant to an agreement to purchase which contains the material terms to which the transferor and the proposed transferee had agreed. If the offer or proposed purchase contract omitted any terms customarily addressed in a transfer of an interest of the type which is the subject of the transaction, Franchisor may supply those terms in the purchase agreement and related documents.

(e) If the proposed transferor wishes to make a Transfer, the transferor shall provide Franchisor with a copy of any offer or agreement to purchase, signed by the proposed transferee, together with copies of any documents referenced in the offer or agreement. If all material terms of the proposed sale are not described in the offer or agreement, Developer shall provide details of all such terms in its submission to the Franchisor, accompanied by the proposed transferee’s written agreement to the terms.

(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.
		13		Domestic Development Agreement

7.4. Death or Disability. Within fifteen (15) days after the death or permanent disability of Developer or any Developer’s Principal, Developer or a representative of Developer 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 Developer (if natural person) or any Developer’s Principal who is a natural person and who has an interest in this Agreement, the Developer’s business or in Developer, 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 Developer (if a natural person) or any Developer’s Principal who is a natural person and who has an interest in this Agreement, in Developer’s business or in Developer, Franchisor may require the interest to be transferred to a third party in accordance with the conditions described in this Section 7 within six (6) months after notice to Developer. For purposes of this Section 7.4, “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 7.4) the person automatically will be considered permanently disabled as of the date of refusal. The costs of any examination required by this Section 7.4 will be paid by Franchisor.

If an interest is not transferred upon death or permanent disability as required in this Section 7.4 then the failure will constitute a material event of default under this Agreement.

7.5. Public Offerings. Equity Interests in Developer and Developer’s Principals may be offered, only with the prior written consent of Franchisor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such approval will be subject to the following:

(a) All registration materials required for such offering by federal or state law shall be submitted to Franchisor for review prior to their being filed with any government agency;


				CEC Entertainment, Inc.
		14		Domestic Development Agreement

(b) No offering material (for either a public or private offering) shall express or imply (by use of the Proprietary Marks or otherwise) that Franchisor is participating in an underwriting, issuance or public offering of Developer, Developer’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) Developer, Developer’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, Developer 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; and

(f) Developer and Developer’s Principals shall give Franchisor at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice before the effective date of any offering or other transaction covered by this Section 7.5.

8.	INSURANCE AND INDEMNITY

8.2.2. Notice and Counsel. Developer and each of Developer’s Principals agree to give Franchisor immediate notice of any Action. Franchisor may engage, at its expense, separate counsel to represent the Indemnitees in such Action and/or elect to assume (but under no circumstance is obligated to undertake) the defense and/or reasonable settlement of any Action. Franchisor’s election to settle shall not diminish Developer’s and each of Developer’s Principal’s obligation to defend, indemnify and hold the Indemnitees harmless from all Losses and Expenses.


				CEC Entertainment, Inc.
		16		Domestic Development Agreement

8.2.3 Settlement and Remedial Actions. In order to protect persons or property, or its reputation or goodwill, or the reputation or goodwill of others, Franchisor may, at any time and without notice, as it, in its sole judgment deems appropriate, consent or agree to settlements or take such other remedial or corrective actions it deems expedient with respect to any Action if, in Franchisor’s sole judgment, there are reasonable grounds to believe that:

8.2.5 Third Party Recovery. Under no circumstances shall the Indemnitees be required or obligated to seek recovery from third parties or otherwise mitigate their losses in order to maintain a claim against Developer or any of Developer’s Principals. Developer and each of Developer’s Principals agree that the failure to pursue such recovery or mitigate loss will in no way reduce the amounts recoverable from Developer or any of Developer’s Principals by the Indemnitees.

8.2.6 Third Party Liability. The Indemnitees do not assume any liability whatsoever for acts, errors, or omissions of any third party with whom Developer, any of the Developer’s Principals, Developer’s affiliates or any of the officers, directors, shareholders, partners, agents, representatives, independent contractors and employees of Developer, its Principals or their affiliates may contract, regardless of the purpose. Developer and each of its Principals will hold harmless and indemnify the Indemnitees for all Losses and Expenses which may arise out of any acts, errors or omissions of Developer, Developer’s Principals, their respective affiliates, and the officers, directors, shareholders, partners, agents, representatives, independent contractors and employees of each and any such other third parties without limitation and without regard to the cause or causes thereof or the strict liability or negligence of Franchisor or any other party or parties arising in connection therewith, and whether such negligence be sole, joint or concurrent, or active or passive.

8.2.7 Survival. Developer and Developer’s Principals expressly agree that the terms of this Section 8 shall survive the termination, expiration or transfer of this Agreement or any interest herein.
