                                 ---------------

         2.1.  GRANT OF  TRADEMARK  LICENSE.  The  Licensor  (for itself and its

exclusive (even as to Licensor and its Affiliates) authority,  right and license
to produce, market,  advertise,  promote, sell, distribute or offer for sale the

3.3(b) hereof,  Licensee  acknowledges  that absent  Licensor's  express written
consent,  Licensee shall have no right to, and no right to authorize  others to,
use  and  Licensee  agrees  not to so  use or  authorize  others  to so use  any
trademarks that are the same as or confusingly similar to the Trademarks outside

Licensee such media originates within the Territory and as regards Licensor such
media originates outside of the Territory.

         2.2.     GOODWILL.  The use of the Trademarks by Licensee and any of
its sublicensees and the goodwill associated therewith shall enure solely to the
benefit of the Licensor.

         2.3.  EXPANSION OF TRADEMARK  USE BY LICENSEE.  (a) The Licensee  shall
have the  absolute and  unconditional  right,  subject  only to the  limitations
imposed by any of the license or limitation  agreements  referred to on SCHEDULE
A, to use in any jurisdiction  within the Territory any of the Trademarks in any
way in connection with the  manufacturing,  marketing,  advertising,  promoting,
selling, distributing or offering for sale of any product or service in addition
to  those  specified  in  SECTION  1.1(f)(i).  In the  event  of  such  use of a
Trademark,  such product or service shall thereupon become a Product as provided
for in SECTION  1.1(f)(ii)  and be subject to the terms and  conditions  of this
Agreement,  including  but not limited to ARTICLE 4 and 5 HEREOF,  but only when
such product or service bears or has a Trademark used in connection  with it and
solely with respect to the  jurisdiction or  jurisdictions  in which such use of
the Trademark occurs.

                  (b)  Licensee  may request that  Licensor  grant  Licensee the
right to produce, market, advertise, promote, sell, distribute or offer for sale
products in countries  outside the Territory  under one or more  trademarks that
are  the  same as or  confusingly  similar  to the  Trademarks.  In such  event,
Licensor  shall enter into good faith  negotiations  with  Licensee  regarding a
license  for such  additional  country  or  countries  on terms  and  conditions
mutually acceptable to Licensor and Licensee.

         2.4.  GRANT OF  LICENSE TO  TECHNICAL  INFORMATION  AND PATENT  RIGHTS.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,  Licensor (for itself and
its  Affiliates)  hereby  grants to  Licensee,  to the  extent  Licensor  or its
Affiliates  has the  right to do so,  the  following  rights:  (a) an  exclusive
license  (even  as  to  Licensor  and  its  Affiliates)  to  use  the  Technical
Information  and the Patent  Rights in the  Territory;  and (b) a  non-exclusive
license to use the Technical  Information  outside the  Territory,  in each case
without  restriction  as to use thereof by Licensee  and its  Affiliates  in the
conduct of any and all  aspects of their  respective  businesses.  To the extent
necessary,  Licensor agrees to obtain,  at its expense,  for use by Licensee the
aforesaid  rights  from  Licensor's  Affiliates.  Licensee  shall at its expense
maintain the Patent Rights.

Affiliates in the manufacture and marketing of the Products.

                  (b)      Included in such technical services shall be the
following:

                           (i)      technical instruction and consulting with
                                    Licensee's and its Affiliates' personnel
                                    with regard to manufacturing the Products;

                           (ii)     inspections and visits; and

                           (iii)    qualitative analysis.

                  (c)  Technical  assistance  shall  also  include,  but  is not
limited  to,  communicating  information,  advice and  proposals  with regard to
details of the manufacturing  processes and techniques for the Products,  advice
as to premises, purchase of machinery,  installation of machinery,  conditioning
of  premises,   warehousing,   purchasing  of  raw  materials,   transportation,
packaging, shelf life, quality assurance and the like.

         2.6. CONTINUED USE OF PATENT RIGHTS AND TECHNICAL  INFORMATION.  In the
event of any termination of this  Agreement,  Licensee's  rights  hereunder with
respect to the Patent Rights and Technical  Information  shall  continue in full
force and effect and shall not be impaired or diminished, except that Licensee's
rights with respect to the use of the Patent Rights and Technical Information in
the Territory shall thereafter become non-exclusive.

         2.7.  NO  INFRINGEMENT.   Licensor  (for  itself  and  its  Affiliates)
represents  and  warrants  that the  Technical  Information  and  Patent  Rights
comprise all such  information and patents used heretofore by Licensor or any of
its   pre-Effective   Date  Affiliates  in  connection  with  the   development,
production, manufacture,  distribution and sale of the Products in the Territory
and that to its  knowledge the  Technical  Information  and Patent Rights do not
infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property rights of any third party.

         2.8.     BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY.  (a) The rights granted to Licensee
and its Affiliates under this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to
be, for the purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, a license of
"intellectual property" rights as defined in Section 101(35A) of the Bankruptcy
Code. Licensee, as licensee of rights under this Agreement, may fully exercise
all of

Page 6 of 34 Pages




<PAGE>



its rights for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates under the Bankruptcy Code,
including,  but not limited to,  Licensee's  rights to continue to exercise  its
rights licensed hereunder.

                  (b)  Licensor  hereby  grants  to  Licensee  a first  priority
security  interest in the Trademarks,  Patent Rights and Technical  Information,
together  with all good will  associated  therewith,  to secure  performance  by
Licensor of its obligations  under this Agreement.  Licensor shall cooperate and
assist  Licensee with the  execution  and filing of all  documents  necessary to
perfect and record such grant of security  interest in the Territory,  including
without  limitation,  filings in the United States Patent and Trademark  Office,
all of the  expenses  associated  therewith  being for the account of  Licensee.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  no  security  interest  is granted  under this
Agreement in any Trademark, Patent Right or Technical Information in any part of
the  Territory  where such grant would harm the validity of any such  Trademark,
Patent  Right or Technical  Information.  Licensee  agrees that it will,  at its
expense,  (i)  terminate  all  security  interests  in the  Trademarks,  if this
Agreement is terminated by Licensee pursuant to the provisions of SECTION 7.1 or
if this Agreement is terminated  pursuant to the  provisions of SECTION  8.1(b),
and (ii)  terminate  all  security  interests  in the  Xylifresh  and Storm Mint
Trademarks in the event this Agreement is deemed to be terminated with regard to
said  Trademarks  pursuant to the  provisions of SECTION 5.1.  Licensee  further
agrees that in the event this  Agreement and the  Trademarks,  Patent Rights and
Technical  Information  are assigned by Licensor  pursuant to the  provisions of
SECTION 10.3,  Licensee will release its security  interest  vis-a-vis  Licensor
provided that Licensor and such assignee have  previously  taken all  reasonable
steps  necessary,  at  Licensee's  expense,  to put Licensee in the same secured
position with respect to the Trademarks, Patent Rights and Technical Information
as Licensee was in prior to any such  assignment and Licensee  further agrees to
cooperate and assist Licensor and such assignee in that regard.

                           exist, which would affect the Trademarks;

                  (iv)     Except as set forth on SCHEDULE A, Licensor has
                           granted no other right or license permitting the use
                           in the Territory of the Trademarks; and

                  (v)      To the extent so identified in SCHEDULE A each of the
                           Trademarks is duly  registered  with the  appropriate
                           government  agencies in each country in the Territory
                           indicated on SCHEDULE A with respect  thereto and the
                           rights therein have not been abandoned.

         3.2. NOTICE OF INFRINGEMENT  AND PROTECTION OF TRADEMARKS.  Each of the
parties  hereto agrees to give the other party  written  notice of any actual or
threatened  infringement  of the  Trademarks by a third party in the  Territory,
promptly  after  information  with respect to such  infringement  or  threatened
infringement comes to its attention. Licensee is hereby given the right, but not
the  obligation,   to  bring  suit  or  take  other  action  to  eliminate  such
infringement  or  threatened  infringement  at its own  expense  in the  name of
itself,  Licensor or both itself and  Licensor,  provided  that  Licensee  shall
provide  prior notice to Licensor  when  bringing suit or taking other action in
the name of Licensor or both itself and  Licensor,  and  provided  further  that
Licensee  shall notify  Licensor  promptly  after  bringing suit or taking other
action in its own name.  Licensee  shall not  obligate  Licensor  for,  or shall
indemnify  Licensor  against,  any  costs,  expenses,  attorneys'  fees or other
obligations in connection with any such action or proceeding.  Further, Licensor
shall cooperate with Licensee at Licensee's  expense in connection with any such
action or  proceeding.  Any damages  recovered in any such action or proceeding,
less all  court  costs  and  other  expenses,  including  expenses  incurred  by
Licensor,  shall be for the  account  of  Licensee.  If,  after  learning  of an
infringement of the Trademarks in the Territory,  Licensee  chooses not to bring
suit against such infringer or take other action to eliminate such  infringement
or threatened infringement, Licensor shall have the right but not the obligation
to bring an action against such infringer at its own expense and any final award
or settlement resulting therefrom shall be for the account of Licensor.

         3.3. MAINTENANCE OF TRADEMARKS. (a) Licensee, at its own expense, shall
have primary  responsibility  for the  maintenance of all  registrations  of the
Trademarks,  and shall pursue any applications  for  registration  therefor (and
shall have the right to pursue  registration  of any  trademark  identical  to a
Trademark in jurisdictions within the Territory where such registration does not
exist on the Effective  Date),  on behalf of the  Licensor,  and, in the service
thereof,  shall provide Licensor with such  documentation as may be necessary to
permit Licensor to execute any  applications for  registrations  and renewals as
may be necessary with respect to such  Trademarks (or trademarks) in the name of
Licensor. If the Licensor shall fail to take any action appropriately  requested
by Licensee to maintain or register a Trademark  (or  trademark  identical  to a
Trademark  as  provided  for  above),  Licensee  may,  after  written  notice to
Licensor,  register such Trademark (or trademark) in its own name and thereafter
promptly assign such registration to Licensor. The parties agree to cooperate in
obtaining and maintaining such registrations,  renewals and assignments, if any.
All trademark  rights obtained in accordance with the provisions of this SECTION
3.3 shall be included within the license grant of SECTION 2.1  immediately  upon
such  acquisition  and without the requirement of any further action by Licensor
or Licensee; and SCHEDULE A hereto shall be supplemented accordingly.

                  (b) Licensee may request that Licensor, at its own expense (i)
pursue  applications for registration of trademarks which are the same as any of
the  Trademarks  in one or more  countries  identified  by Licensee  outside the
Territory,  other than  countries  in Europe or Africa,  and (ii) take all steps
necessary or appropriate to maintain the registrations of any such trademarks in
such countries.  In the event Licensor  chooses not to pursue such  applications
for registration, Licensee shall have the right to do so on behalf of and in the
name of Licensor  and at  Licensee's  expense,  PROVIDED,  that  Licensee  gives
Licensor at least sixty (60) days prior written  notice of its intention to file
any such  application  and Licensee  provides  Licensor with an  opportunity  to
review any such application or other necessary materials prior to filing. In the
event Licensor fails to take steps  necessary to maintain the  registrations  of
such trademarks in such countries,  Licensee shall have the right, at Licensee's
expense,  to take the minimum steps  necessary to preclude  cancellation of such
registrations on any grounds provided that Licensee's  activities in such regard
do not prejudice Licensor's right to commence commercial sales of products under
such  trademarks  in any such  country and provided  further that this  sentence
shall not be deemed to confer upon Licensee any  continuing  license to use such
trademarks  in any such  country or to sell or market any such  products in such
country other than as permitted by the foregoing.

         3.4.     MODIFICATION OF TRADEMARKS AND TRADE DRESS.  Licensee shall
have the right to modify the format of the Trademarks and the Trade Dress
associated

therewith  if in its  reasonable  business  judgment  it  determines  that  such
modifications  are necessary or desirable in any portion of the  Territory.  Any
such modified Trademarks shall be owned by Licensor and shall be included within
the license grant of SECTION 2.1 and shall be considered a Trademark  under this
Agreement without the requirement of any notice to or further action by Licensor
or Licensee and SCHEDULE A hereto shall be  supplemented  accordingly.  Licensee
shall have the right to pursue  registration in Licensor's name in the Territory
of any such modified Trademark in accordance with SECTION 3.3.

         4.1.  WARRANTY AS TO PRODUCTS.  Licensee  warrants to Licensor that the
Products in connection  with which the Trademarks are used shall,  at all times,
conform to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and shall conform in all material
respects with all laws and  regulations  applicable in the  Territory.  Products
will be produced,  packaged,  advertised  and  distributed  consistent  with the
quality  standards applied prior to the Effective Date by Licensor or any of its
pre-Effective  Date  Affiliates  to the  Products in the  Territory  and any new
Products  introduced  after the Effective Date of this  Agreement  shall also be
produced and packaged consistent with such quality standards. In the case of new
Products which are not confectionery  products,  such Products shall be produced
consistent with the quality standards applied by reputable manufacturers of such
products.

         4.2. INSPECTIONS AND SAMPLES. Licensee agrees that Licensor or its duly
authorized  agent  (PROVIDED  THAT  Licensor or such agent shall have executed a
confidentiality  agreement  reasonably  satisfactory to Licensee) shall have the
right,  on an annual basis at a time to be agreed upon by Licensor and Licensee,
to inspect the manufacturing process utilized to produce the Products under this
Agreement to ensure compliance with the quality standards set forth herein.  The
inspection  shall be limited to those areas of the facilities where the Products
are  manufactured,  and  the  Licensor  agrees  to  such  restrictions  on  such
inspections  as may be required under the  Licensee's  contractual  arrangements
with third parties.  During such inspections,  (i) review may be made of quality
control and manufacturing reports as may be reasonably requested,  (ii) Licensor
or its duly  authorized  agent may take a  reasonable  number of  representative
samples of the Products for quality audit  purposes,  and (iii)  Licensor or its
duly  authorized  agent  may  review  representative   samples  of  promotional,
marketing and point-of-sale  materials for the Products illustrating  Licensee's
use of the Trademarks.

         5.1. BEST  EFFORTS.  Licensee  shall use its best efforts  commercially
reasonable in the  circumstances  and consistent with  Licensee's  marketing and
sales promotion practices to market and promote the sale and distribution of the
Products  under the  Trademarks in North  America.  It is understood  and agreed
between  the  parties  that  Licensee's  obligation  pursuant  to the  foregoing
sentence  shall not limit  Licensee's  ability  to curtail  or  discontinue  the
marketing,  promotion or sale of Products in the  Territory,  provided  Licensee
determines  that  it is  commercially  reasonable  to do so  based  on the  same
criteria it employs in connection with the curtailment or  discontinuance of the
marketing, promotion or sale of its own confectionery products.  Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained herein or in the Purchase Agreement,  in
the event  Licensee  discontinues  promotion and sale of Products sold under the
Xylifresh  and/or Storm Mint  Trademarks,  this  Agreement  will be deemed to be
terminated only with regard to the Xylifresh and/or Storm Mint Trademark(s), and
Licensor  shall be  entitled  to  produce,  market,  advertise,  promote,  sell,
distribute  and offer for sale products in the Territory  bearing said Xylifresh
and/or Storm Mint trademark(s).

herein  granted to the Licensee to use the  Trademarks  in  connection  with the
Products,  the Licensee agrees to pay to the Licensor, or to such other party as
the Licensor may  hereafter  direct to Licensee in writing,  the  royalties  set
forth in SECTION 6.2 hereof in the  amounts and manner set forth  therein and in

         6.2.     ROYALTY PAYMENTS.

                  (b) In each  Annual  Period  hereunder,  Licensee  shall  make
quarterly  royalty  payments to Licensor  covering Net Sales  during  Licensee's
accounting  quarter no later than  forty-five (45) days after the end of each of
the  first  three  accounting  quarters  and sixty  (60)  days  after the end of
Licensee's fourth accounting  quarter.  The royalty payment for Net Sales during
Licensee's fourth  accounting  quarter shall be adjusted to properly reflect Net
Sales for the Annual Period.  To the extent  permitted under  applicable  United
States  securities  laws,  Licensee  agrees  that  in  December  (following  the
completion of the Licensee's and its sublicensed  Affiliates'  annual  marketing
plans for the Products for the

Licensee's  and its  sublicensed  Affiliates'  planned  aggregate  sales  of the
Products  for such fiscal  year and  Licensor  agrees to treat such  information
confidentially.

         6.3. PAYMENT OF ROYALTIES;  WITHHOLDING TAXES. All royalty and interest
payments shall be made in United States dollars.  Royalties not paid by Licensee
by the date specified in SECTION 6.2 shall bear interest from the date specified
for payment  herein until  actually  paid at an interest rate equal to the prime
lending rate quoted and in effect from time to time by The Chase  Manhattan Bank
or its successor.  All royalty  payments which are required to be made hereunder
by the Licensee to the Licensor shall be made in immediately  available funds at
a bank designated by the Licensor from time to time. All royalty  payments shall
be subject to any applicable  taxes,  if any, which are required to be withheld,
PROVIDED THAT the same are forthwith remitted and evidence of such remittance to
the appropriate taxing authority is provided to the Licensor upon request.

         6.4.  RECORDS  AND  REPORTS.  At all  times  during  the  Term  of this
Agreement,  Licensee shall (in accordance  with its customary  record  retention
policy)  keep true,  accurate and complete  records of total  quantities  of the
Products sold and the Net Sales in sufficient detail to permit the determination
of  royalties  payable  in  respect  thereof.  At the time  Licensee  makes  its
quarterly  payment of royalties  pursuant to SECTION 6.2, Licensee shall provide
Licensor with a royalty  report for such quarter as to the royalty  payments due
for that quarter.  The royalty report shall state, in reasonable detail, (a) the
Net  Sales  for each  Product  in the  Territory,  (b)  total  Net  Sales in the
Territory,  and (c) the amount of royalties due for such quarter. At the request
and expense of Licensor,  Licensee shall permit an independent public accountant
selected  by  Licensor  to have  access to,  examine  and,  with the  consent of
Licensee  (which  consent  shall  not be  unreasonably  withheld),  copy  during
ordinary business hours such books,  records and accounts as may be necessary or
advisable to enable such  accountant  to verify or determine the royalty paid or
payable under this Agreement and Licensee shall render all reasonable assistance
to such accountant in that regard.

         8.1.     BREACH OF PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS BY LICENSEE.

                  (a)  Licensor  acknowledges  and agrees  that it shall have no
right to terminate this Agreement or any of Licensee's  rights  hereunder except
as expressly set forth in this SECTION 8.1.

                  (b) In the  event  of a  willful  breach  by  Licensee  of its
payment  obligations  pursuant to ARTICLE 6 hereof,  Licensor may send a written
notice  to  Licensee  stating  that it has  breached  its  payment  obligations,
specifying in detail the nature of such breach and requiring Licensee to rectify
such  breach.  If such breach is not  rectified  by Licensee  within a period of
thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from Licensor, Licensor shall be
entitled to exercise any remedies it may have hereunder,  including  termination
of this Agreement.

                  (c)  Notwithstanding  the provisions of SECTION 8.1(b), in the
event Licensee disputes in good faith the alleged breach by disputing the amount
of royalties owed by Licensee pursuant to SECTION 6.2 hereof, such dispute shall
be resolved exclusively by arbitration pursuant to SECTION 8.3 and in accordance
with the  procedures  set forth therein,  and shall,  in no event,  give rise to
Licensor's  ability to terminate this Agreement.  Such arbitration  shall be the
sole and exclusive dispute  resolution  mechanism for resolving such matter, the
parties  hereto   voluntarily   waiving  for  themselves  and  their  respective
Affiliates any other rights or remedies any of them may have in any jurisdiction
to resolve such matter.

         8.2.     OTHER MATERIAL BREACHES.

                  (a) Except as set forth in SECTION 8.1, in the event one party
determines  that the other party has committed a material  breach of a provision
of this Agreement,  such party may provide written notice to the breaching party
("Breach  Notice")  specifying the material  breach  complained of in reasonable
detail and  requiring  such other party to rectify  such breach.  The  breaching
party  shall then have  ninety  (90) days from  receipt of the Breach  Notice to
rectify  such  breach  or,  if such  material  breach  is such that it cannot be
rectified  within  the said  ninety  (90) day  period  but is  capable  of being
rectified  within a reasonable  period of time  thereafter,  to begin to rectify
such  breach  within  such  ninety  (90) day  period and  thereafter  to proceed
diligently  to complete  the  rectification  of the breach  within a  reasonable
period. In the event that the party receiving the Breach Notice does not rectify
the breach  within the time period  specified  in the  preceding  sentence,  the
non-breaching party shall have the right to invoke binding arbitration  pursuant
to  SECTION  8.3.  Such  arbitration  shall be the sole  and  exclusive  dispute
resolution  mechanism for resolving such matter,  the parties hereto voluntarily
waiving for  themselves  and their  respective  Affiliates  any other  rights or
remedies any of them may have in any jurisdiction to resolve such matter.

                  (b)  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  in the  event the party
receiving a Breach  Notice  disputes  the other  party's  assertion  that it has
committed a material breach of this Agreement, such party shall promptly, and in
any event  within  thirty (30) days after  receiving  such Breach  Notice,  send
written  notice of such  dispute  to the other  party.  The  parties  shall then
commence good faith negotiations to resolve such dispute.  In the event that the
parties are unable to negotiate a resolution  of such dispute  within sixty (60)
days of  commencing  such good faith  negotiations,  either party  shall,  if it
wishes to pursue such dispute,  invoke binding  arbitration  pursuant to SECTION
8.3.  Such  arbitration  shall  be the  sole and  exclusive  dispute  resolution
mechanism for resolving such matter, the parties hereto voluntarily  waiving for
themselves and their  respective  Affiliates any other rights or remedies any of
them may have in any jurisdiction to resolve such matter.

         8.3.  ARBITRATION.  (a) In the event arbitration is required or invoked
pursuant to SECTIONS 8.1 or 8.2, such arbitration  proceeding shall be conducted
under the auspices of the Center for Public  Resources  (the "CPR") in New York,
New York pursuant to the CPR's Model ADR  Procedures  and  Practices,  Rules and
Commentary for  Arbitration.  The arbitrators in any such  arbitration  shall be
persons  knowledgeable  in the industry with regard to the subject matter of the
arbitration.  Both the  foregoing  agreement of the parties to arbitrate any and
all such claims, and the results, determination, finding, judgment and/or award

rendered  through  such  arbitration,  shall be final and binding on the parties
thereto and may be specifically  enforced by legal proceedings in a court having
jurisdiction over the party in question.  It is expressly  understood and agreed
by the parties that the arbitrators in any such arbitration shall have the right
to order injunctive relief (both preliminary and permanent  injunctions)  and/or
payment of  damages  as the sole and  exclusive  remedy or  remedies  awarded to
either party in  connection  with matters  referred to them pursuant to SECTIONS
8.1 and 8.2 but in no event  shall they have the right to order  termination  of
all or any part of this Agreement.

                  (b) Licensor  shall appoint one (1)  arbitrator,  and Licensee
one (1) arbitrator  within a term of thirty (30) days from the date  arbitration
is  required  or  invoked  pursuant  to  SECTIONS  8.1 or  8.2,  and the two (2)
arbitrators so appointed  shall appoint the third  arbitrator (who shall also be
knowledgeable  in  the  industry  with  regard  to  the  subject  matter  of the
arbitration)  within a term of thirty (30) days from the date on which the later
of the two (2) arbitrators has been selected.

                  (c) If  either  Licensor  or  Licensee  fails  to  select  its
arbitrator  within the term  mentioned  above,  or in the event that the two (2)
selected arbitrators are unable or unwilling to select a third arbitrator within
thirty (30) days  following  the  selection  of the later of them,  then the CPR
shall select such arbitrator  (meeting the criteria set out in SECTION  8.3(b)),
and the three (3) arbitrators so selected shall constitute the arbitration panel
for purposes of the dispute.  The parties shall have thirty (30) days thereafter
to submit their position to the arbitrators. The arbitrators shall be instructed
and  required  to render  their  decision  within  thirty  (30)  days  following
completion of the arbitration.

                  (d)  Each  party  shall  bear  separately  the  cost of  their
respective attorneys,  witnesses and experts in connection with such arbitration
and shall jointly bear the costs of the arbitrators.

                  (e) The parties  hereby  waive any claim to any damages in the
nature of punitive,  exemplary or  statutory  damages in excess of  compensatory
damages,  and the  arbitration  tribunal is  specially  divested of any power to
award any damages in the nature of punitive,  exemplary or statutory  damages in
excess of compensatory damages, or any form of damages in excess of compensatory
damages.

                  (f)      The arbitrators shall be the exclusive judges of
relevance and materiality.  No witness or party may be required to waive any
privilege recognized by law.

                  (g)  Unless  the  arbitrators  shall  otherwise  rule  in  the
interest of justice,  all direct or rebuttal testimony shall be submitted in the
form of sworn  affidavits,  provided that at the request of another  party,  the
party   submitting   the   affidavit   will  make  the  affiant   available  for
cross-examination.  If the affiant is not made available for  cross-examination,
the affidavit shall not be considered as evidence by the  arbitrators  except if
the  arbitrators  find that the  affiant  is  beyond  the  control  of the party
offering the affidavit,  the affiant is unavailable and the interests of justice
require consideration of the evidence submitted by the affiant.

                  (h)   Notwithstanding   anything  to  the   contrary  in  this
Agreement,  in the event of a breach by either  party of SECTION  2.1 or SECTION
3.3(b),  the other party shall be entitled,  if it so elects,  to institute  and
prosecute  proceedings  in any  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  outside  the
Territory  to enforce  the  specific  performance  of such  party's  obligations
pursuant to such section outside the Territory.

Information  other than in  conjunction  with its  assignment  of its rights and
obligations  under this  Agreement  to such  assignee.  Licensee may assign this
Agreement (other than its obligations pursuant to SECTION 6.2(c), and other than
its rights and  obligations  pursuant to SECTION  3.3(b)  unless,  in the latter
case, such assignment is with respect to this Agreement as a whole), in whole or
in part  (including,  without  limitation,  assignment of Licensee's  rights and
obligations  under this Agreement with respect to one or more of the Trademarks)
with  respect to the United  States as a whole,  Canada as a whole,  Mexico as a
whole  and/or the rest of the  Territory as a whole,  without the prior  written
consent of Licensor,  provided that any such  assignee  enters into an agreement
with  Licensor,  in a form  reasonably  acceptable to Licensor,  assuming all of
Licensee's  rights and obligations  under this Agreement,  and provided  further
that (a) Hershey Foods Corporation guarantees such assignee's performance of its
obligations under this Agreement; or (b)(i) such assignee has at the time of the
assignment  a net  worth  of not  less  than  $500  million  (for  assignees  of
Licensee's  rights and obligations  under this Agreement in the entire Territory
or in the United States as a whole) or $200 million (for assignees of Licensee's
rights and  obligations  under this Agreement in Canada as a whole,  Mexico as a
whole and/or the rest of the Territory as a whole),  and (ii) Licensor,  after a
reasonable and prompt good faith inquiry,  has not determined that such assignee
would be likely to adversely affect the good will, public perception or value of
the Trademarks,  or that such assignment  would adversely affect the performance
of the obligations of the licensee hereunder.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS
                                  -------------

         11.1. ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Each party represents
and warrants to the other that the execution,  delivery and  performance by such
party of this  Agreement  have been duly  authorized by all necessary  corporate
action and all governmental  consents,  approvals and authorizations (except for
any of such which are not  material  to such  party's  ability  to  perform  its
obligations  under this  Agreement)  required in connection with such execution,

         11.2.    RECORDAL.  The parties hereto shall cooperate in connection
with the recording of this Agreement or a summary thereof in those countries of
the Territory where such recordal is requested by Licensee in accordance with
applicable law.

         11.3.  WAIVER.  Failure or delay of either party at any time to require
performance of any provisions under this Agreement shall not affect the right of
such party to require full  performance  thereafter and a waiver by either party
of a breach of any provision of this Agreement  shall not be taken or held to be
a waiver of any further or similar breach or as nullifying the  effectiveness of
such provision.  A waiver of any provision  hereunder shall be effective only if
such  waiver is in writing and signed by the party  against  whom such waiver is
sought to be enforced.  Failure or delay on the part of either party to exercise
any right, remedy, power or privilege provided for herein shall not operate as a
waiver  thereof,  nor shall any single or partial  exercise  of any such  right,
remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other rights, remedy, power or privilege.

         11.4. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement
and understanding  between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof
and merges and supersedes all prior discussions, representations, understandings
and agreements,  whether oral or in writing, between the parties with respect to
such subject matter. This Agreement may be altered,  modified or amended only by
a written document signed by the parties hereto.

         11.5.  SEVERABILITY.  In the event that any clause,  term or  provision
hereof  is  determined  by any  court  or  administrative  agency  of  competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability  of the  remaining  provisions  hereof  will  not  in any  way be
affected or impaired thereby.

         11.6. FORCE MAJEURE.  Any delays in or failure of performance by either
party under this Agreement shall not be considered a breach hereof if such delay
or failure is occasioned by an event beyond the reasonable  control of the party
affected  ("force  majeure"),  PROVIDED THAT the Licensee  shall  continue to be
obligated to pay to the  Licensor  any and all amounts  which it shall have duly
become  obligated to pay in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to
the  occurrence  of such an event,  and  FURTHER  PROVIDED  THAT any party whose
performance  is so delayed shall give prompt  notice  thereof to the other party
and  shall  use all  reasonable  endeavors  to  comply  with  the  terms of this
Agreement as soon as possible.  Force  majeure in this  context  shall  include,
without limitation,  acts of government, acts of God, fires, floods, explosions,
riots, civil disturbances, strikes, insurrections,  earthquakes, wars, rebellion
and
