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 />

(Injunction, Against Both Defendants)<br />
