Licensee agrees to furnish to Licensor free of cost for its written approval as to quality and style, samples of each of the Licensed Products and/or Licensed Premiums, together with their packaging, hangtags, and wrapping material, as follows in the successive stages indicated: (i) rough sketches/layout concepts; (ii) finished artwork or final proofs; (iii) pre-production samples or strike-offs; and (iv) finished products, including packaged samples.

(b) No Licensed Products and/or Licensed Premiums and no material utilizing the Licensed Property shall be manufactured, sold, distributed or promoted by Licensee without prior written approval. In addition to the foregoing, Licensee understands that it shall furnish to Licensor, scripts and storyboards of any proposed media use of the Licensed Property as may be authorized hereunder, in sufficient time for Licensee to make all revisions which Licensor in its sole discretion may request. Licensee may, subject to Licensor’s prior written approval, use textual and/or pictorial matter pertaining to the Licensed Property on promotional, display and advertising material as may, in its reasonable judgment, promote the sale of the Licensed

Products and/or Licensed Premiums. All advertising and promotional materials relating to the Licensed Promotion and Licensed Products and/or Licensed Premiums must be submitted to the Licensor for its written approval at the following stages appropriate to the medium used. For print materials, submissions are to be made at the following stages: (a) rough sketches or layout concepts; (b) finished artwork or final proofs; and (c) finished materials. For television commercials, if approved by Licensor, submissions are to be made at the following stages: (a) initial concept; (b) storyboard, including written text; (c) pencil tests and voice-overs for animation and/or selection of performers for live action; and (d) a cassette of the finished commercial prior to air date. For radio or other audio materials, if approved by Licensor, submissions are to be made at the following stages: (a) initial concept; (b) script; (c) voice-overs; and (d) a cassette of the finished commercial prior to the air date.

(c) Approval or disapproval shall lie in Licensor’s sole discretion. Licensor shall use its best efforts to approve, disapprove or otherwise comment upon any items submitted to it for approval as may be required hereunder within ten (10) business days after receipt by it of such item(s). In the event that Licensor fails to approve, disapprove or otherwise comment upon the item(s) so submitted within said ten (10) business days, then Licensee shall have the right to notify Licensor of such failure by facsimile (evidenced by written confirmation of facsimile transmittal) and Licensor shall thereafter be required to approve, disapprove or otherwise comment upon the item(s) so submitted within seven (7) business days after receipt by it of said facsimile and failure to do so shall be deemed approval of any item(s) so submitted. Any Licensed Products and/or Licensed Premiums not so approved in writing shall be deemed unlicensed and shall not be manufactured, distributed or sold. If any unapproved Licensed Products and/or Licensed Premiums are being distributed or sold, Licensor may, together with other remedies available to it including, but not limited to, immediate termination of this Agreement, require such Licensed Products and/or Licensed Premiums to be promptly withdrawn from the market and to be destroyed, such destruction to be attested to in a certificate signed by an officer of Licensee.

(d) Any material modification of a Licensed Product and/or Licensed Premium must be submitted in advance for Licensor’s written approval as if it were a new Licensed Product and/or Licensed Premium. Any change involving the Artwork appearing on a Licensed Product shall constitute a material modification of such Licensed Product. Approval of a Licensed Product and/or Licensed Premium which uses particular artwork does not imply approval of such artwork for use with a different Licensed Product and/or Licensed Premium.

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

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

(h) Subsequent to final approval, no fewer than twenty-four (24) production samples of Licensed Products and/or Licensed Premiums will be sent to Licensor, to ensure quality control simultaneously upon distribution to the public. In addition, Licensor shall have the right to purchase any and all Licensed Products and/or Licensed Premiums in any quantity at the maximum discount price Licensee charges its best customer, assuming similar quantities and shipment terms.

(i) To avoid confusion of the public, Licensee agrees not to associate other characters or properties with the Licensed Property on the Licensed Products and/or Licensed Premiums or in any packaging, promotional or display materials unless Licensee receives Licensor’s prior

written approval. Furthermore, Licensee agrees not to use the Licensed Property (or any component thereof) on any business sign, business cards, stationery or forms, nor as part of the name of Licensee’s business or any division thereof.

(j) Pursuant to this Agreement, Licensee shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to notify its customers of the requirement that Licensor has the right to approve all promotional, display and advertising materials that incorporate the Licensed Property. It is understood and agreed that the use of images featuring the Licensed Product and its approved packaging in promotional, display and advertising materials is excluded from this requirement, provided, however, none of the Licensed Property is utilized separately from the Licensed Product and its packaging.

(k) Any request by Licensee to use animation or animated character voices in Licensed Products or related packaging or advertising materials (including, without limitation, television or radio commercials) is subject to Licensor’s prior written approval. If the requested use is so approved by Licensor, such animation or character voices will be produced for or provided to Licensee by Warner Bros. Animation or other third parties identified and approved by Licensor, and will be subject to such additional fees and other terms set forth in a separate agreement (or agreements) between Licensee and Warner Bros. Animation and/or other third parties identified and approved by Licensor. In the event any video or sound clips (“Clips”) or stills shots (“Stills”) from any television series or motion picture are approved by Licensor in writing for use by Licensee in Licensed Products or related packaging or advertising materials (including, without limitation, television or radio commercials), such Clips or Stills will be provided by Warner Bros. Television and/or Warner Bros. Theatrical, as applicable, subject to the terms set forth in Paragraph 9 (1) below and, if required by Licensor, pursuant to such additional fees and other terms set forth in a separate agreement (or agreements) between Licensee and Warner Bros. Television and/or Warner Bros. Theatrical. Any payment made or payable to third parties (including, without limitation, Warner Bros. Animation, Warner Bros. Television and Warner Bros. Theatrical) with respect to such animation, character voices, Clips or Stills will be in addition to and will not offset the Guaranteed Consideration required to be paid by Licensee hereunder.

(l) Licensee will not make or authorize any reproduction whatsoever of any Clips or Stills, in whole or in part, except in connection with the Licensed Products and/or related packaging or advertising materials as such may be approved for use by Licensor as set forth above in Paragraph 9(k). Licensee will not have the right to edit or otherwise alter the Clips or Stills, or any portion thereof, except as specifically approved in writing by Licensor. Licensee will be solely responsible for, and will obtain, all other authorizations, consents and releases, including, but not limited to, authorization of any talent appearing in, or whose voice may be used in, the Clips or Stills, and will pay all reuse fees and other compensation as may be required by applicable collective bargaining or individual contracts or by law. Without limiting the foregoing, if any music is included in the Clips as exhibited, Licensee will obtain a11 necessary music synchronization and performance rights from the copyright proprietors of such music and such other persons or entities, including performing rights societies, as may own or control the rights thereto and will obtain all necessary master recording licenses required in connection with any music included in the soundtrack of the Clips. Licensee’s use of the Clips or Stills will not affect Licensor’s continued and separate copyright ownership of the Clips or Stills or the production from which the Clips or Stills were taken, or Licensor’s continued ownership of the trademarks and any other intellectual property rights associated with any characters or other elements appearing or embodied in the Clips or Stills or such production. Licensee will hold any copyrights in trust for Licensor insofar as the Clips or Stills are concerned (and, upon Licensor’s request, the Licensed Products and/or related packaging or advertising materials will bear a specific copyright notice for the Clips or Stills in a form prescribed by Licensor and will contain appropriate credit to Licensor as required by Licensor, e.g., “Clips from the Motion Picture used courtesy of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.”). Promptly upon completion of the approved use, Licensee will, at its own expense, return to Licensor all Clip and/or Still related materials delivered to Licensee by Licensor, including without limitation, preprint material, positive prints and any video copies of Clips.

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

10. DISTRIBUTION; SUBLICENSE MANUFACTURE:

(a) Within the Channels of Distribution set forth in Paragraph 1(a) hereof, Licensee shall sell the Licensed Products/Licensed Premiums to wholesalers, distributors or retailers for sale or resale and distribution directly to the public.

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

All such notices shall be sufficiently given when the same shall be deposited so addressed, postage prepaid, in the United States mail and/or when the same shall have been delivered, so addressed, by facsimile or by overnight delivery service and the date of transmission by facsimile, receipt of overnight delivery service or two business days after mailing shall for the purposes of this Agreement be deemed the date of the giving of such notice.

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

18. NO SUBLICENSING/NON-ASSIGNABILITY: This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of Licensor, its successors and assigns. This Agreement is personal to Licensee. Licensee shall not sublicense, franchise or delegate to third parties its rights hereunder (except as set forth in Paragraph 10(b) hereof) without the prior written consent of Licensor.

19. BANKRUPTCY RELATED PROVISIONS:

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

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

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

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

20. CONSTRUCTION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION: This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California of the United States of America without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. Any and all controversies, claims or disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or the interpretation, performance or breach thereof, including, but not

limited to, alleged violations of state or federal statutory or common law rights or duties, and the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate (“Dispute”), except as set forth in subparagraphs (b) and (c), below, shall be resolved according to the procedures set forth in subparagraph (a), below, which shall constitute the sole dispute resolution mechanism hereunder:

(a) Arbitration: In the event that the parties are unable to resolve any Dispute informally, then such Dispute shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be initiated and conducted according to either the JAMS Streamlined (for claims under $250,000) or the JAMS Comprehensive (for claims over $250,000) Arbitration Rules and Procedures, except as modified herein, including the Optional Appeal Procedure, at the Los Angeles office of JAMS, or its successor (“JAMS”) in effect at the time the request for arbitration is made (the “Arbitration Rules”). The arbitration shall be conducted in Los Angeles County before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator shall follow California law and the Federal Rules of Evidence in adjudicating the Dispute. The parties waive the right to seek punitive damages and the arbitrator shall have no authority to award such damages. The arbitrator will provide a detailed written statement of decision, which will be part of the arbitration award and admissible in any judicial proceeding to confirm, correct or vacate the award. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the neutral arbitrator and the members of any appeal panel shall be former or retired judges or justices of any California state or federal court with experience in matters involving the entertainment industry. If either party refuses to perform any or all of its obligations under the final arbitration award (following appeal, if applicable) within thirty (30) days of such award being rendered, then the other party may enforce the final award in any court of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles County. The party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in enforcing the award, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered.

(b) Injunctive Relief: Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief (unless otherwise precluded by any other provision of this Agreement) in the state and federal courts of Los Angeles County.

(c) Other Matters: Any Dispute or portion thereof, or any claim for a particular form of relief (not otherwise precluded by any other provision of this Agreement), that may not be arbitrated pursuant to applicable state or federal law may be heard only in a court of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles County.

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

22. CONFIDENTIALITY: The Artwork and the materials and information supplied to one party by the other hereunder constitute, relate to, contain and form a part of confidential and proprietary information of the disclosing party, including, but not limited to, Style Guides, design elements, character profiles, unpublished copyrighted material, release dates, marketing and promotional strategies, information about new products, properties and characters, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and other information which is proprietary in nature or is a trade secret (collectively, the “Proprietary Information”). The parties acknowledge and agree that the Proprietary Information is highly confidential and that disclosure of the Proprietary Information will result in serious harm to the owner thereof. Among other damage, unauthorized disclosure of the Proprietary Information will. (i) damage carefully planned marketing strategies, (ii) reduce interest in the Licensed Property, (iii)

make unique or novel elements of the Licensed Property susceptible to imitation or copying by competitors, infringers or third parties prior to Licensor’s release of the information or materials, (iv) damage proprietary protection in undisclosed or unpublished information or materials, and (v) provide unauthorized third parties with materials capable of being used to create counterfeit and unauthorized merchandise, audio-visual products or other products, all of which will seriously damage Licensor’s rights and business.
