Scores Holding Co., Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1. Organization
 
Basis for presentation
 
Scores Holding Company, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) is a Utah corporation, formed in September 1981 and located in New York, NY. Originally incorporated as Adonis Energy, Inc., the Company adopted its current name in July 2002. The Company is a licensing company that exploits the “SCORES” name and trademark for licensing options.
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Scores Licensing Corp. (“SLC”).
 
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts, as well as those of our wholly-owned subsidiary.  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated results of operations and financial position for the interim periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2013.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
 
Going Concern
 
As of September 30, 2013, the Company has incurred cumulative losses (since the inception of its business) totaling $( 6,389,147 ) and a working capital deficit of $(153,738). The Company had net income of $ 169,607 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Because of these conditions, the Company will require additional working capital to develop business operations. The Company intends to raise additional working capital through the continued licensing of its brand with its current and new operators.   There are no assurances that the Company will be able to achieve the level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to support the Company’s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any future use of licensing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.   If adequate working capital is not available, the Company may not continue its operations.
 
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company earned royalties and merchandise revenues from five licensees who are unrelated to management of the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, revenues earned from royalties from these unrelated licensees amounted to $ 425,824 and there was $ 123,196 due and outstanding as of September 30, 2013.  The Company’s related New York affiliate commenced operations in May 2009 and royalty revenue amounted to $ 116,985 during the nine-month 2013 period; there was $- 0 - due and outstanding as of September 30, 2013.
 
 
F-4

 
During the nine-month 2013 and 2012 periods our Baltimore licensees accounted for 20 % and 20 % and our Chicago licensee accounted for 20 % and 18 % of our total revenues, respectively.   Our New Orleans licensee accounted for 17 % and 18 % and our Tampa licensee accounted for 17 % and 13 % of our total revenues for the nine-month periods ended 2013 and 2012 respectively.  Our related New York licensee accounted for 22 % and 30 % of our total revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively. The Scoreslive.com licensee website went live during 2011 and began accruing royalties in the second quarter 2012.
 
Revenue recognition
 
The Company records revenues earned as royalties under its license agreements as they are earned over the term of the license agreements. The terms of the royalties earned under these license agreements vary from a flat monthly fee to a percentage of the revenues of the licensee on a monthly basis. If a license agreement is terminated then the remaining unearned balance of the deferred revenues are recorded as earned if applicable.
 
Principles of consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Inter-company items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments, with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. There are times when cash may exceed $ 250,000 , the FDIC insured limit.
 
Income Per Share
 
Net income per share data for both the nine-month 2013 period and the nine-month 2012 period are based on net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of the number of common shares outstanding.  For the quarter ended September 30 , 2012 the outstanding stock options are not part of this basis as the exercise price exceeds the tradable value of the underlying stock. As of September 30, 2013, there are no outstanding stock options.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements , which defines fair values, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company’s financial instruments include cash, licensee receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses and related party payable.  Due to the short term maturity of these financial instruments, the fair values were not materially different from their carrying values.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2013-11 on “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”.  The amendments in this ASU are to improve the current U.S. GAAP because they are expected to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist.  Current U.S. GAAP does not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This Update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013.  Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted.
 
All other new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective or adopted have been deemed not to be relevant to us, hence are not expected to have any impact once adopted.

Note 3. Related-Party Transactions
 
Transactions with Common ownership affiliates
 
On January 24, 2006, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with AYA International, Inc. (“AYA”) granting AYA the right to use our trademarks in connection with its online video chat website, “Scoreslive.com.” The agreement with AYA provides for royalty payments to be made directly to the Company at the rate of 4.99 % of weekly gross revenues from all revenue sources within the AYA website. On December 21, 2009, AYA transferred all of its rights in Scoreslive.com and in its licensing agreement with us to Swan Media Group, Inc., a newly formed New York corporation whose majority owner is Robert M. Gans, who is also the majority shareholder and chief executive officer of the Company.
 
 
F-5

 
On January 27, 2009, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with its affiliate through common ownership I.M. Operating LLC (“IMO”) for the use of the Scores brand name “Scores New York”.  Robert M. Gans is the majority owner of IMO and is also the Company’s majority shareholder.  IMO paid for various years of administrative costs related to accounting, business development, insurance and legal services for the Company, which a portion thereof in the amount of $ 42,130 and $ 144,115 remains a payable to this related party as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The Company also leases office space directly from Westside Realty of New York, Inc. (WSR), the owner of the West 27th Street Building.  The majority owner of WSR is Robert M. Gans.  Since April 1, 2009, the monthly rent has been $ 2,500 per month including overhead costs.  The Company owed WSR $ 100,000 and $ 77,500 in unpaid rents as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
 
Effective January 1, 2013, the Company entered into a management services agreement with Metropolitan Lumber Hardware and Building Supplies, Inc., pursuant to which Metropolitan Lumber Hardware and Building Supplies, Inc. provides management and other services to the Company, including the services of Robert M. Gans and Howard Rosenbluth to act as executive officers of the Company. In consideration of the services, the Company pays Metropolitan Lumber Hardware and Building Supplies, Inc. a fee in the amount of $ 30,000 per year. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon ten days’ written notice. Mr. Gans is the sole owner of Metropolitan Lumber Hardware and Building Supplies, Inc. The Company owed Metropolitan Lumber Hardware and Building Supplies, Inc. $ 22,500 and $ 0 in unpaid management services as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Note 4.   Intangible Assets
 
Trademark
 
In connection with the acquisition of SLC, the Company acquired the trademark to the name “SCORES”. This trademark had a net recorded value at September 30, 2013 of $ - 0 -. This trademark has been registered in the United States, Canada, Japan and the European Community. The trademark has been completely amortized by straight line methods over an estimated useful life of ten years. The Company’s trademark having an infinite useful life by its definition was amortized over ten years due to the difficult New York legal environment for which the related showcase adult club is operating. This intangible asset was fully amortized as of September 30, 2011.

Note 5. Licensees
 
The Company has seven license agreements which were obtained between 2003 and 2013; Stone Park Entertainment Group, Inc. known as “Scores Chicago”, Club 2000 Eastern Avenue Inc. known as “Scores Baltimore”, Silver Bourbon, Inc., I.M Operating LLC known as “IMO”, Tampa Food and Entertainment Inc., Norm A Properties, LLC and Swan Media Group, Inc. (formerly AYA International, Inc.).
  
“IMO’s” members are our majority shareholder, Robert M. Gans, and Secretary and Director, Howard Rosenbluth hence making “IMO” a related party.

The Company responded to the complaint and later filed an amended complaint and asserted a cross claim against IMO. The Company is vigorously defending itself in this litigation and does not expect that the outcome will be material.
 
In mid-March 2010, the Company was named by Nichole Hughes in a complaint filed with the SCNY. Ms. Hughes sued the Company for an unspecified amount of damages in connection with an alleged unauthorized use of her image in the Company’s advertising materials. On June 20, 2010, the Company filed a pre-answer motion to dismiss the complaint, which was denied on December 17, 2010. The Company then filed an answer and affirmative defenses and a third party complaint against IMO, owner and operator of the club where Ms. Hughes was employed. Plaintiff’s counsel was granted leave by the court to withdraw from representation in January 2013. Plaintiff failed to appoint new counsel or further participate in the case and the case was dismissed on May 20, 2013.
 
On December 11, 2007, Francis Vargas, a former cocktail waitress at Scores West located in New York, NY, filed a civil lawsuit against the Company and Go West in the SCNY, alleging violations of the New York State Human Rights Law, New York Executive Law, New York City Human Rights Law, and the New York City Administrative Code, based upon allegations of sexual discrimination and sexual harassment.

On April 18, 2008, co-defendant Go West filed for bankruptcy and the case was stayed. On July 23, 2009, the bankruptcy petition was dismissed and, as a result, the automatic stay was lifted. The Company subsequently filed an amended response asserting cross-claims for judgment against both Go West and the Company’s former affiliate, Entertainment Management Services, Inc. ("EMS"), an entity owned by two of the Company’s former directors and employees. After engaging in discovery and other pre-trial activities the two sides agreed to a confidential settlement on February 22, 2013 and the case has been dismissed.

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview
 
Scores Holding Company, Inc. (“Scores,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated in Utah on September 21, 1981 under the name Adonis Energy, Inc. We adopted our current name in July 2002. Since 2003, we have been in the business of licensing the “Scores” trademarks and other intellectual property to fine gentlemen’s nightclubs with adult entertainment in the United States.  There are six such clubs currently operating under the Scores name, in New York City, Atlantic City, Baltimore, Chicago, Tampa and New Orleans. The Atlantic City club commenced operations in September 2013.
 
On January 27, 2009, Mitchell’s East LLC, wholly owned by Robert M. Gans, acquired a majority interest in our outstanding capital stock.  I.M. Operating LLC (“IMO”), which is partially owned by Robert M. Gans who is also our majority shareholder, has signed a licensing agreement with us and commenced operations in New York of a club (the “New York Club”) under the Scores name in May 2009.   Throughout this report, we refer to the New York Club and the Atlantic City club as our affiliates, because of the common ownership by Mr. Gans. All other clubs are referred to as non-affiliated clubs or as licensees, a term that may include the New York Club and the Atlantic City club when the context requires.
 
On August 6, 2010, we appointed Robert M. Gans as our President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of our Board.  Robert Gans and Martin Gans, one of our existing Board members, are brothers.  Also on August 6, 2010, we appointed Howard Rosenbluth as our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer.

Future Capital Requirements:
 
We have incurred losses since the inception of our business. Since our inception, we have been dependent on acquisitions and funding from private lenders and investors to conduct operations. As of September 30, 2013 we had an accumulated deficit of $(6,389,147), with total current assets of $345,840 and total current liabilities of $499,578 or negative working capital of $(153,738). As of December 31, 2012, we had total current assets of $270,341 and total current liabilities of $572,520 or negative working capital of $(302,179). The decrease in total current liabilities can largely be attributed to payments made on a loan owing to Mr. Gans in connection with funds advanced by Mr. Gans for the settlement of the Siri Diaz et. al. litigation referenced in Note 7 to the Company’s financial statements.  
 
We will continue to evaluate possible acquisitions of or investments in businesses, products and technologies that are complimentary to ours. These may require the use of cash, which would require us to seek financing. We may sell equity or debt securities or seek credit facilities to fund acquisition-related or other business costs. Sales of equity or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our stockholders. We may also need to raise additional funds in order to support more rapid expansion, develop new or enhanced services or products, respond to competitive pressures, or take advantage of unanticipated opportunities. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the success of our adult entertainment trademark licensing business.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements .
 
The Company has no off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Re: License of Trademarks

 

Dear Mr. Rosenbluth:

 

The undersigned, Scores Holding Company, Inc. (“Owner”), owns all of the trademarks, including all trademark rights, registrations and applications associated therewith and other intellectual property rights relating thereto as identified on Schedule A attached hereto, which may be amended from time to time by Owner (collectively, the “Marks”). Owner is willing to grant to Scores Licensing Corp. (“Licensee”) a license in, to and under the Marks, on and subject to the following terms and conditions (this “Agreement”):

 

1.          Owner hereby grants to Licensee an exclusive worldwide license, subject to any pre-existing licenses as of the date of this Agreement, during the “Term,” as defined below, to advertise and provide the services and manufacture, market, promote, advertise, distribute and sell goods under the Marks and in the International Classes as identified on Schedule A , and for all services and products as may be determined and approved by Owner in writing from time to time, including without limitation, those services provided or goods sold by all entities related to Owner (collectively, “Services” or “Products”). This grant of license includes the right to issue sublicenses to third parties (“Sublicensees”), subject to the prior approval by Owner of each Sublicensee and of all of the terms and conditions of each sublicense agreement (“Sublicense Agreement”), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Expressly approved hereunder are sublicenses to entities in common ownership with or control by Owner or its majority shareholder(s).

 

2.           Licensee shall provide copies of all signed and executed Sublicense Agreements to Owner promptly after execution thereof, upon Owner’s request. Licensee shall be responsible to monitor the quality of all Services and Products consistent with this Agreement, negotiate Sublicense Agreements in accordance with Owner’s approval, oversee payments from Sublicensees and ensure that Sublicensees maintain records of all sales and other activities under the Sublicense Agreements, shall request and conduct audits as needed, ensure performance of all obligations by all Sublicensees, and engage in other such activities with Sublicensees relative to this Agreement as appropriate and/or requested by Owner, in order to maximize generation of revenue from the exploitation of the rights granted herein and to maintain the quality of the Services and Products and the protection of the Marks.

 

 
 

 

3.          Licensee shall, itself or through Sublicensees, use commercially reasonable efforts to promote, advertise and offer the Services and to manufacture, market, promote, advertise, distribute and sell the Products and under the Marks.

 

4.          Licensee shall at all times, and shall ensure that Sublicensees shall at all times, promote, advertise and offer the Services and manufacture, market, promote, advertise and sell the Products and otherwise use the Marks, in a manner which is consistent with or better than comparable brands, subject to Owner’s absolute approval. All Services promoted, advertised and offered and all Products manufactured, marketed, promoted, advertised, distributed and/or sold in association with the Marks and shall be of a quality consistent with the foregoing. Such standard shall be included as a condition in each Sublicense Agreement. In addition, each Sublicense Agreement shall contain a provision that, at its request at any time and from time to time, Licensee and/or Owner shall have the right to inspect the establishments, retail facilities, manufacturing facilities, storage facilities, and any other facilities maintained and used by Sublicensees and shall have the right to approve of all Products and related packaging and all promotional, marketing, and advertising materials prior to any Services or Products being offered for sale or sold, and after sales of the Services and/or the Products have commenced. Further, Owner shall have the right to periodically check the quality of all Services and Products and related packaging and all promotional, marketing, and advertising materials to be certain that the quality is uniform and consistent with the foregoing, and to establish a reasonable method for providing for such quality enforcement and approval with which Licensee and each Sublicensee shall comply in all material respects.

 

5.          Licensee acknowledges Owner’s exclusive right, title and interest in and to the Marks and any related trade dress used on the packaging for all Products and any marketing, advertising or promotional materials used in connection with the Services or Products. All and/or any use of the Marks and trade dress and the goodwill associated therewith, including but not limited to, the offering of Services and sale of Products by Licensee, either directly or through Sublicensees, shall inure to the benefit of Owner for trademark purposes.

 

6.          Licensee shall take no action to damage or to interfere with the rights and ownership of Owner with respect to the Marks, and shall cooperate with Owner in all reasonable respects in all registration, maintenance, defense and/or enforcement efforts. In addition, Sublicense Agreements shall contain a similar provision that Sublicensee shall not interfere with Owner’s ownership of the Marks and shall cooperate with Owner in all reasonable respects regarding the Marks. Each Sublicense Agreement shall contain the provision that should a Sublicensee violate any of the terms and conditions relating to the use of the Marks as provided thereunder, Owner shall have the coextensive right to proceed directly against such Sublicensee to enforce all rights in and relating to the Marks and to obtain immediate injunctive relief in addition to any other remedies available to Owner.

7.          Licensee, if a direct provider of Services or seller of Products, shall pay Owner a royalty to be determined by Owner from time to time, upon reasonable notice, to be calculated as a percentage of all of its “Net Revenue,” e.g. , the total revenue received in connection with the Services provided, less any approved discounts and/or deductions or such other payment arrangement, such as a fixed flat fee, as Owner may determine from time to time. Licensee may also pay to Owner a percentage, to be determined by Owner from time to time, upon reasonable notice to Licensee, of all royalties received by Licensee under Sublicense Agreements. In the event that Owner makes a change in the royalty or percentage as aforesaid, Owner shall provide Licensee with reasonable notice before the same becomes effective, and Licensee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement within thirty (30) days notice thereafter, provided, however, that no such change shall be effective as to any Sublicense Agreement then outstanding as to which the royalties payable by Licensee shall remain unchanged for the duration of the term or terms thereof, including all extensions exercised by the respective Sublicensees. Royalties and percentage payments are to be paid by Licensee within thirty (30) days after the end of the quarter in which such royalties or other payments are received from Sublicensees. Owner reserves the right to charge interest for late payments and to impose the costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees, on Licensee if it fails to pay on time.

 

8.          Licensee shall keep accurate and complete books and records, which Owner shall have the right to examine on ten (10) days’ notice. Licensee shall provide Owner with monthly statements of its Net Revenue showing gross revenue amounts and discounts offered and taken, and all royalties received under Sublicense Agreements. The statements shall be certified as accurate by an officer and shall include copies of statements received from Sublicensees. Sublicensee shall be correspondingly required to follow similar obligations; provided, further, that the right to examine Sublicensee’s books and records shall inure as well directly to Owner.

 

9.          The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall be for one (1) fiscal year commencing as of the date first written above and shall automatically renew for consecutive one (1) fiscal year terms unless either party provides at least thirty (30) days notice to the other party of its intention to terminate this Agreement. If such notice to terminate is given, the parties may in good faith negotiate a sell-off period to allow Licensee to liquidate any inventory it may have for a limited period not to exceed three (3) additional months, provided it does nothing to damage the Marks during such period and is otherwise in conformance with its obligations under this Agreement. Net Revenues during such sell-off period shall require royalties to be paid by Licensee as otherwise payable during the Term.

 

10.         In the event of a termination of this Agreement at any time and for any reason, and without limiting the provisions of Paragraph 7 hereof, the unexpired term of each Sublicense Agreement shall continue to be honored, if possible. For each Sublicense Agreement that continues to be honored, Owner shall be deemed a permitted successor and the sublicensor thereunder for all purposes through the end of the respective term(s), and Licensee shall have no further rights thereunder or interest therein.

 

11.         All Products, labels, packaging, advertising and other uses of the Marks must contain “™” or ® and/or other appropriate legends as requested or directed by Owner from time to time, and in the forms approved by Owner. Licensee and each Sublicensee shall comply with all foreign, federal, state, county, municipal or other statutes, laws, orders and regulations of any governmental or quasi-governmental entity applicable to the manufacturing, distribution, promotion, marketing, advertising, offering for sale and sale of Products and Services, including obtaining all necessary governmental licenses. In addition, Licensee and each Sublicensee shall comply with any brand guidelines, marketing guidelines and ethical standards adopted or approved from time to time by Owner.

12.         Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Owner for all of its actions, including product liability. It shall, upon request from Owner, obtain and maintain general comprehensive as well as product liability insurance with coverage under each policy of at least $3,000,000.00, and in such event shall include Owner as an additional insured. Such insurance shall be maintained at Licensee’s cost throughout the Term, and Licensee shall provide Owner with a certificate evidencing this coverage at any time upon request by Owner. Owner may accept coverage by each Sublicensee if Licensee is not engaged directly in the offering of Services or manufacture of Products.

 

13.         Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Owner may terminate this Agreement and the rights licensed hereunder immediately upon written notice to Licensee, in the event that Licensee:

 

13.01       ceases to engage in the business of offering the Services or selling the Products in the ordinary course of its business, or there is no Sublicensee then offering the Services or selling the Products;

 

13.02       violates this Agreement in any manner as to the quality of the Services or Products, the unauthorized use of the Marks, the distribution or sale of unapproved Products, the offering of unapproved Services, grants a sublicense without obtaining prior approval from Owner or fails to terminate a Sublicense Agreement if the Sublicensee is in breach thereunder, and in each such event there shall be no right on the part of Licensee to cure;

 

13.03       notifies Owner of its desire to relinquish the license granted herein or its inability to meet its obligations hereunder;

 

13.04      engages in any conduct that in the subjective judgment of Owner is inconsistent with the spirit and conditions of this Agreement, and there shall be no right on the part of Licensee to cure;

 

13.05      breaches any other material provision hereof and fails to cure the same within thirty (30) days after notice thereof; or

 

13.06      has a material change in ownership or control.

 

14.         Upon termination of this Agreement, all rights conveyed herein shall terminate including Licensee’s rights to use and sublicense the Marks and shall revert to Owner, subject to any specific post-termination sales rights provided herein. Any and all royalties from Licensee and percentages from Sublicensees shall become immediately due and payable, with the exception of Sublicense Agreements which continue pursuant to Paragraph 10.

 

15.         Notices are to be in writing, delivered by hand, or sent by prepaid overnight courier, to the address set forth above for the party for which it is intended or such other address as designated by notice hereunder.

16.         This is the entire Agreement between the parties as to its subject matter; it shall bind and inure to the benefit of successors and assigns. It may be amended or discharged only by further writing, signed by the party to be charged. New York law shall govern, and the parties consent to the resolution of all disputes exclusively in the Federal or State Courts located in the State and County of New York. The prevailing party in any proceeding shall be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees relating to any breach alleged hereunder. Without limitation, Owner shall have the right to an injunction or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, to prevent violation by Licensee or any Sublicensee of any obligations hereunder relating to the use of the Marks.

 

Countersignature below will constitute this a binding agreement as of the date above written.

WHEREAS, SLC wishes to formalize the relationship between the parties and license the SCORES Trademarks to Licensee for use in connection with the Business pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(a) Indemnification of Licensee . SLC agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Licensee from and against any and all third-party claims arising from the breach by SLC, as determined by a final, non-appealable court order or judgment, of any of SLC’s express warranties, set forth in Section 10, provided that Licensee provides SLC with prompt written notice of such claim, and such indemnification shall constitute Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any such alleged breach of warranty.

- 10 -

13. REMEDIES.

 

(a) Relief In Equity Against Certain Defaults . In the event of a breach by Licensee of any of its obligations under this Agreement, Licensee acknowledges and agrees that, SLC will have no adequate remedies at law and that it will be irreparably damaged in the event that the provisions of this Agreement are not specifically enforced. Accordingly, Licensee agrees that (a) an action for specific performance of the obligations created by this Agreement shall be a proper remedy for such breach, or threatened breach, and (b) Licensee shall not assert as a defense or otherwise in such action an allegation or claim that would contravene the agreement set forth in this Section. Such equitable remedy shall, however, be cumulative not exhaustive and shall be in addition to any other remedies available to SLC for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, including the recovery of damages and legal fees.

 

(b) Other Rights. In addition to the right to termination pursuant to Section 12, SLC may take, upon any default by Licensee, whatever action it deems reasonably necessary to protect its rights and interests under this Agreement. The termination of this Agreement by SLC shall not be deemed an election of remedies by SLC any such termination shall be without prejudice to the rights or remedies which SLC might otherwise have against Licensee under law, in contract or in equity for breach of this Agreement.

 

- 11 -
 

 

(c) Equitable Relief . Licensee acknowledges that its failure to cease use of the SCORES Trademarks at the termination or expiration of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein, will result in immediate and irreparable damage to SLC and to the rights of any subsequent licensee. Licensee acknowledges and admits that there may be no adequate remedy at law for such failure and Licensee agrees that in the event of such failure SLC shall be entitled to seek equitable relief and any other and further relief as any court with jurisdiction may deem just and proper. In the event of equitable relief in favor of SLC pursuant to the terms of this Section, it is the intent of the Parties that no undertaking (whether in the form of cash or surety bond) shall be required of SLC except to the extent of a nominal amount, if any, is otherwise expressly required by statute.

 

(d) Attorneys’ Fees . In the event that either party to this Agreement shall commence or otherwise be made a party to any suit, action, arbitration or other proceeding to interpret this Agreement, or to determine or enforce any right or obligation created hereby, if SLC is the prevailing party, SLC shall recover its costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of appeal, if any.

 

(e) Liquidated Damages. Any termination of this Agreement resulting from a breach or default by Licensee shall not relieve Licensee for many obligations which it had prior to the date of termination or from the continuing obligation to pay any Royalties for the balance of the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that the breach by Licensee of this Agreement would cause substantial damages to SLC, including, but not limited to, loss of "presence" in the marketplace while a successor or replacement Licensee is located, and that the extent of such damages would be difficult and impractical to ascertain. Accordingly, and without prejudice to SLC’s rights and remedies or Licensee's indemnification obligations, it is agreed that if SLC terminates this Agreement as a result of Licensee's breach or default, then SLC shall be entitled to recover from Licensee, as liquidated damages (in lieu of any recovery for Business Royalties, but not in limitation of any other remedies which SLC may have as a result of such breach or default such as the right to injunctive relief, the right to recover past due Business Royalties up to the date of termination, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of collection incurred by SLC and due as of the date of termination), a sum equal to six (6) times the monthly pro rata amount of such Business Royalties due on the date of termination, provided, however, that if there are fewer than six (6) months remaining on the Term, then the foregoing amount shall be computed based upon the number of months remaining.
