[General Woundwort]

Right, let's look this over...

rental of FBW's

Probably cloned in this case, but given the clientele expected, perhaps we should wait and see what dominant species would be required for them.

licence of Cantina format... IT rights vis a vis using the "Cantina" trade mark and format

Of course you would get full billing as the licensor - the name I had in mind was "Phong's Head Cantina [TM] - Starfury Sector" or something similar, pending your approval of course.

percentage of profits

I am quite reasonable in this regard, only requiring the upkeep for my planned Starfury Merc Cruiser

side agreement detailing minumum level of sex and violence

What could be simpler? The expected clientele would provide all that and more. I'm more worried about them exceeding the limit and damaging the property.

supply agreement re all alcoholic beverages

I have a friend who specializes in this sort of thing. Even brings cases of Romulan ale across the Neutral Zone every now and then.

loan of SMURF team and rental agreement for ninja shrimp, giant squid, killer mongooses etc

Security, a must.

visitation rights for senior management

You were't planning on not visiting, were you? It wouldn't be a true franchise without your esteemed presence.

full recourse and optimumm control rights in case of default

I have every intention of fulfilling my obligations, but if by some awful mischance something should happen (my ship getting hit by an Abbidon AC, for instance), all due measures need to be taken so that the enterprise may function in my absence. Agreed.

margin ratchet linked to PIBOR/LIBOR currency movements based on a revolving tiered scale

Yes... yes... [looks up "PIBOR" on UWW (Universe Wide Web) palm pilot while Growltigger is busy]
Fine, no worries.

franchise cantina to be operated on a joint venture basis, with cash streams and up-level funding demarcated and paid into a trust account of which I am the sole beneficiary

As I plan to take my expenses "off the top" from the raw profits, this is perfectly acceptable.

your family held hostage for good behaviour and profits

Sad to say, I have none (comes with being a stocky philosophy geek who plays SEIV )

usual penalty clauses including loss of digits and genitalia for minor infractions

[checks med insurance... yep, regeneration procedures covered] No problem.

governing law to be English, as modified by cantina precedents.

As the English would say, righto old chap.

Just one point. There is a band that wants to play in the cantina [jerks thumb over shoulder to a gaggle of black-eyed, white-skinned, gilled creatures carrying their instruments]. They got kicked off of their original gig on Tatooine, and are willing to work cheap. I think they might provide the right... atmosphere... for the cantina. Or, barring that, the first victims.

Other than that, I think we have a deal.
