                       15.    Termination.  The Member may terminate this Agreement and cease to  be a

               Agreement, for “cause” as defined below, at any time during the Term upon sixty (60) days prior
               written notice to the Member.  For the purposes of this Section only, “cause” shall mean: (a) a
               material breach  by the  Member  of this Agreement, the  Co-op  Certificate of  Incorporation,
               Bylaws, policies or any agreement between the Member and the Co-op not cured within thirty

               statement, extortion or theft involving the Co-op, CSCS or any of their respective member’s or
               businesses; (c) conviction of the Member, whether following a trial or by a plea of guilty or no
               contest, of  any  criminal charges involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, fraud,  embezzlement,
               bribery, materially  false or misleading statements, extortion or  theft; or  (d) engaging in any
               improper act or making any improper statement by the Member that  materially impairs the
               business interests of the Co-op or CSCS as determined in the sole, but reasonable discretion of
               the Co-op.  If the Member ceases to be an Applebee’s franchisee or licensee, this Agreement
               shall terminate immediately, and the Member shall no longer be a stockholder member of the
               Co-op.
