6
amount of at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) for personal and bodily injury and identical additional amounts for property damage. This policy shall specify that it covers all Restaurants and Stores and materials manufactured or distributed hereunder and that it may not be modified or canceled by the insurer, except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice by the insurer to GFVentures; if such cancellation takes place or the policy's coverage is diminished in any way, GFVentures may terminate this Agreement. Prior to operating or promoting any Restaurants or Stores hereunder or manufacturing or distributing any materials hereunder, KnowFat shall provide GFVentures with a copy of such policy and a certificate of insurance naming GFVentures, GFPI and Celebrity and their respective parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, shareholders, directors, officers, members, managers, employees, agents and representatives as insured parties as aforesaid.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be deemed to give GFVentures any ownership right in the names or logos of KnowFat to the extent that such names or logos do not contain any element of the Property.
Section 13. No Assignment.
KnowFat may not sublicense, assign, or encumber the rights granted to it hereunder or delegate its obligations hereunder, in whole or in part without GFVentures's prior written consent

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Celebrity may elect to arrange for alternate means of transportation in lieu of any air transportation otherwise to be provided for by KnowFat pursuant to the preceding sentence, for which Celebrity shall be entitled to be reimbursed, for his actual alternative transportation costs but in no event to exceed the costs of the first class air transportation offered by KnowFat.
Section 15. Agreement binding on Successors.
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto, their heirs, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.
Section 16. Waiver, Modification.
The failure of any Party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any right hereunder. This Agreement may not be modified or altered except by written instrument duly executed by all Parties. If any term, clause or provision hereof is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the validity or operation of any other term, clause or provision and such invalid term, clause or provision shall be deemed to be severed from the Agreement.
Section 17. No joint venture.
Nothing contained herein shall constitute this arrangement to be employment, a joint venture or a partnership.
Section 18. Governing Law.

Section 21. Miscellaneous.
In resolving any dispute or construing any provision in this Agreement, there shall be no presumption made or inference drawn (a) because the attorneys for one of the parties drafted this Agreement, (b) because of the drafting history of this Agreement, or (c) because of the inclusion of a provision not contained in a prior draft or the deletion of a provision contained in a prior draft.

It is understood and agreed that in the event an act of government, war, fire, flood, an Act of God or labor trouble, or any other similar or dissimilar reasons beyond the control of a party to this Agreement prevents the performance by such party of the provisions of this
9
Agreement, then such nonperformance shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement and such nonperformance shall be excused while the conditions described herein prevail.
