f)The right to use the Licensed Marks and System granted to CI and CWI pursuant to the License Agreements is non-exclusive and limited solely to the operation of the Original Restaurants. CIGI and its Affiliates have and retain all other rights to the Licensed Marks and all other Carrabba’s IP not expressly granted to Licensees in this Agreement.

g)Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed that the License Agreements do not grant any rights to Licensees to use the Excluded Marks (or any part or variation thereof). Any use of the Excluded Marks will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.

h)Licensees agree that any unauthorized use of the Licensed Marks or other Carrabba’s IP shall constitute an infringement of CIGI’s rights and a breach of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Licensees shall not use, or authorize any other party to use, the Licensed Marks in connection with the manufacture of any product, unless otherwise agreed in writing by CIGI, in its sole discretion.

i)Licensees shall promptly notify CIGI if any legal action is instituted against Licensee(s) relating to their use of the Licensed Marks, and CIGI shall have the right to take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate to protect its ownership and interest in the Proprietary Marks. Licensees shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate and cooperate with CIGI in any such action.

j)CIGI is not required to protect Licensees’ right to use the Licensed Marks, nor to protect Licensees against third party claims of infringement or unfair competition arising from their use of the Licensed Marks. Without limiting the foregoing, CIGI shall not be required to defend or indemnify CI or CWI for expenses or damages if CI or CWI is a party to an administrative or judicial proceeding involving any Licensed Marks or if the proceeding is resolved unfavorably to CI and/or CWI.

Any purported transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, in violation of those provisions, shall be null and void and shall constitute a breach of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agree that any change-in-control of CI or CWI shall be deemed a “transfer” unless such change-in-control is in favor of a Permitted Transferee or is an Employee Transfer.

l)If CIGI reasonably determines that either CI or CWI is in material default of its obligations under the Kirby License or Voss License, as applicable, CIGI may, at its option, notify the defaulting party that it will have thirty (30) calendar days after its receipt of such written notice of default within which to remedy such material default (or such longer period if CI or CWI promptly and diligently works to remedy such default, if completion of the cure reasonably takes longer than thirty (30) calendar days), and to provide evidence of such remedy to CIGI. If such default is not cured within the specified time, CIGI will have the right to immediately terminate the applicable License Agreement by providing written notice of termination to the defaulting party.

m)The Kirby License or Voss License, as applicable, shall automatically terminate without notice if CI or CWI: (i) close or cease operations of the Kirby Restaurant or the Voss Restaurant, including any rebranding of such restaurant(s), other than a temporary closure as provided in Section 7(d) above; (ii) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or any pleading seeking any reorganization, liquidation, or dissolution under any law, or admits or fails to contest the material allegations of any such pleading filed against it; (iii) an order for relief is entered against it under the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) is adjudicated as insolvent; (v) a receiver is appointed for a substantial part of its assets; (vi) there is an abatement of the claims of creditors of such party under any law; or (vii) such party is voluntarily or involuntarily liquidated by or for the benefit of creditors or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or similarly disposes of its assets.

n)Upon termination of the License Agreement(s) for any reason, Licensee(s) shall immediately cease to use the System and Licensed Marks and shall promptly make such modifications or alterations to the premises of the Kirby Restaurant and/or the Voss Restaurant, as applicable, to distinguish the appearance of said premises from that of other Carrabba’s Italian Grill® restaurants.

o)While the Kirby Restaurant is currently located at 3115 Kirby Drive, Houston, Texas 77098 and the Voss Restaurant is currently located at 1399 South Voss Road, Houston, Texas 77057, in the event CI (with respect to the Kirby Restaurant) or CWI (with respect to the Voss Restaurant) determines it is necessary or desirable to relocate its respective restaurant, it shall be entitled to do so as long as (i) the new restaurant location is within a five (5) mile radius of the original location; (ii) the new restaurant location is substantially of the same quality of building and improvement as the original restaurant; and (iii) the premises of the original restaurant is modified to distinguish its appearance from that of other Carrabba’s Italian Grill® restaurants.

8.ROFR. For so long as the Kirby License and/or the Voss License remain in effect, CIGI will have a right of first refusal (“ROFR”), as follows:

a)Any Founder(s) (hereinafter “Transferor”) desiring to accept a bona fide offer from a prospective purchaser of any interest in the Kirby Restaurant and/or Voss Restaurant (whether by sale of assets, sale of equity interest, merger, consolidation or otherwise) shall, within five (5) business days of receipt of such offer and prior to acceptance thereof, provide written notice to

CIGI (hereinafter “Notice of Offer”) of each such offer. The Notice of Offer shall specify the interest to be transferred (hereinafter “Interest”), the identity of the offeror, the purchase price and manner of payment. Transferor shall also provide such other documents and information relating to the offeror and/or the offer as CIGI reasonably requests.

b)Upon receipt of a Notice of Offer, CIGI shall have the right and option to purchase, and Transferor shall be obligated to sell to CIGI, the Interest upon the same terms and conditions contained in the Notice of Offer. In the event the consideration, terms and/or conditions contained in the Notice of Offer are such that CIGI may not reasonably be required to furnish the same consideration, terms and/or conditions, CIGI shall notify Transferor and CIGI shall have the right to substitute therefor the reasonable cash equivalent. If CIGI and Transferor cannot agree on the reasonable cash equivalent within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the Notice of Offer, CIGI and Transferor shall each appoint an independent, qualified M.A.I. appraiser to determine the reasonable cash equivalent. If the two (2) appraisers so appointed cannot agree on the reasonable cash equivalent, they shall appoint a third independent, qualified M.A.I. appraiser to determine a third appraisal of the reasonable cash equivalent. The final reasonable cash equivalent shall be the average of the two (2) closest appraisals. The determination of such appraisers shall be final and binding on all parties.

c)CIGI may exercise the ROFR granted in this Section 8 by providing written notice (“Notice of Exercise”) to Transferor on or before  the later of (i) thirtyfive (35) days from receipt of the Notice of Offer; (ii) fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of all additional information and documents relating to the offeror and/or the offer requested by CIGI pursuant to (a) above; or (iii) twenty (20) days from receipt of written determination by the appraiser of reasonable cash equivalent pursuant to subsection (b) above, if applicable. In the event CIGI desires to request additional information and documents relating to the offeror and/or the offer, such requests shall be made within ten (10) business days from receipt of the Notice of Offer.

d)The closing for any purchase by CIGI hereunder shall be consummated and closed in CIGI’s principal office at a mutually agreed upon date and time, provided that such closing shall be held within seventy-five (75) days from the date of Notice of Exercise. At the closing, Transferor shall execute and deliver to CIGI such documents, affidavits and instruments as are necessary or appropriate, to transfer good and marketable title in the Interest to CIGI, free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance (except as otherwise specified in the Notice of Offer). Transferor shall execute and deliver to CIGI such representations, warranties and indemnities as are customary or appropriate, in connection with the transfer of property of a kind similar to the Interest. Transferor (and its owners) shall sign a noncompetition undertaking in favor of CIGI that contains the restrictions in Section 11 and Section 6(d) hereof. CIGI shall deliver the purchase price to Transferor in accordance with the Notice of Offer and/or determination of reasonable cash equivalent. If the Interest includes real property, Transferor shall deliver to CIGI an owner’s title insurance policy (on the form promulgated by the Texas Department of Insurance), issued by a company acceptable to CIGI’s counsel, insuring CIGI’s title to the real property for the full amount of the purchase price without any exceptions or exclusions except for those acceptable to CIGI.  Transferor shall use its best efforts and due diligence to cure any title defects and the closing shall be extended for a reasonable cure period; provided Transferor shall have no obligation to incur any costs in connection with such cure efforts other than costs related to the release of liens filed against such real property.  All costs, fees, document taxes and other expenses incurred in connection with the transfer of the Interest shall be allocated in accordance with the Notice of Offer; provided that Transferor shall be responsible for the base premium of the Owner’s Policy and CIGI shall be responsible for to costs of any endorsements required by CIGI, and any costs not allocated in the Notice of Offer shall be paid in accordance with customary practices in Houston, Texas.

e)As to any particular Notice of Offer, if CIGI does not exercise the ROFR within the time limit of (c) above, or if CIGI, through no fault of Transferor, fails to close the purchase of the Interest within the time limit of (d) above, then as to such particular Notice of Offer only, Transferor shall be free to transfer the Interest solely to the offeror named in the Notice of Offer upon the same terms and conditions contained in the Notice of Offer; provided however:

i)such transfer shall be subject to compliance with all terms and provisions of Section 16, including CIGI’s and OSI’s prior written consent. For purposes of this Section, such consent shall be considered within thirty-five (35) days after receipt of the Notice of Offer and shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed past the end of such period (provided CIGI and OSI have elected not to exercise their ROFR). CIGI and OSI shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the proposed transfer if the following conditions are satisfied: (A) the proposed transferee possesses a good moral character, business reputation, and credit rating and has sufficient business experience, aptitude and ability, including adequate financial resources, to operate the Kirby Restaurant and/or Voss Restaurant, as applicable; (B) the proposed transferee does not violate the competitive restrictions of Section 11(b) hereof; and (C) CIGI and OSI reasonably determine that the purchase price and payment terms of the transfer will not have a material adverse effect on the Kirby Restaurant and/or Voss Restaurant, as applicable.

ii)such transfer shall be consummated and closed on or before the earlier of: (A) if CIGI has not exercised its ROFR, seventy-five (75) days from the expiration date for exercise of the ROFR pursuant to (c) above or notice from CIGI that it does not intend to exercise its ROFR; or (B) if CIGI has exercised the ROFR but failed to close through no fault of Transferor, seventy-five (75) days from the expiration date for closing pursuant to (d) above;

iii)the transferor shall execute a general release, in form acceptable to CIGI and OSI, of any and all claims against the BBI Entities; and

iv)if the transfer involves all or substantially all the assets of the Kirby Restaurant and/or Voss Restaurant, or a controlling interest (direct or indirect) in CI or CWI, as applicable (or other entity that then owns/operates the Kirby Restaurant and/or Voss Restaurant), the transferee shall sign CIGI’s standard form of franchise agreement (including, without limitation, owner guarantees) then being offered to new Carrabba’s restaurant franchisees, which agreement shall supersede the Kirby License and/or Voss License, as applicable, in all respects; provided, however, the transferee shall not be required to pay an initial franchise fee or ongoing royalty fee for a period of fifteen (15) years from the effective date of the transfer. After such fifteen (15) year period, the transferee shall pay to CIGI or its designee a continuing monthly royalty equal to five percent (5%) of the Net Sales of the Kirby Restaurant and/or Voss Restaurant, as applicable. Such franchise agreement shall provide for an initial term of twenty (20) years plus one consecutive renewal term of twenty (20) years.

f)Transferor shall make no transfer of the Interest except to the offeror named in the Notice of Offer, on the terms and conditions as are consistent with those contained in the Notice of Offer (recognizing that the definitive agreement between Transferor and the offeror named in the Notice of Offer will have more details than just the Notice of Offer) and within the time limit specified in subsection (e). Any purported transfer not in compliance with all the requirements of

the preceding sentence and having the prior written consent of CIGI and OSI shall be null and void. If Transferor does not close and consummate the transfer of the Interest in accordance with the requirements of (e) and (f) hereof, CIGI’s purchase option shall again be exercisable and Transferor shall make no transfer of the Interest until it has again complied with all terms and provisions of this Section 8, including, without limitation, issuance of a new Notice of Offer.
