Second Cause of Action, in the Alternative<br />
(Breach of the Implicit Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing,<br />
Against Both Defendants)<br />
104. Gate Five incorporates by reference the foregoing allegations of the complaint.<br />
1<strong>05</strong>. The Agreement is a valid and binding contract.<br />
106. Under the Agreement, Ms. Carter had an implied duty to act good faith not to take<br />
any action to prevent Gate Five from receiving the benefit it bargained for under the Agreement.<br />
107. Even if Ms. Carter had a right to terminate the Agreement based on a failure by<br />
Gate Five to obtain “committed financing” by November 15, 2010 (which is expressly denied),<br />
she exercised that right in bad faith by:<br />
(a) Doing so after she had repeatedly consented to Gate Five’s decision to<br />
wait until after November 15 to close a financing deal;<br />
(b) Timing her termination of the Agreement so that it would disrupt the<br />
closing of Gate Five’s expected financing;<br />
(c) Using the disruption in Gate Five’s expected financing to try to obtain<br />
additional compensation from Gate Five; and<br />
(d) Using the Financing Contingency as a pretext to purport to terminate the<br />
Agreement, even though the Financing Contingency had nothing to do<br />
with her real reasons for seeking to terminate.<br />
108. After terminating the Agreement in bad faith, Ms. Carter refused to provide any<br />
further services to Gate Five.<br />
1<strong>09</strong>. As a direct result of Ms. Carter’s bad faith, Gate Five was unable to complete the<br />
development of Starpower: Beyoncé, or to market and sell the game or its sequels as<br />
contemplated by the parties.<br />
110. Gate Five has been injured in an amount to be determined at trial.<br />
Third Cause of Action<br />
