Each Borrower shall or shall cause the applicable Operating Lessee to (i) pay all sums required to be paid by the franchisee under each Franchise Agreement, (ii) diligently perform, observe and enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions of each Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee thereunder to be performed, observed and enforced to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the rights of said franchisee under each Franchise Agreement, (iii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice to any Borrower and/or Operating Lessee of any material default by the franchisee in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Franchise Agreement on the part of the franchisee thereunder to be performed and observed and deliver to Lender a true copy of each such notice, and (iv) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditure plan, notice of a material default under the Franchise Agreement, report regarding operations at the related Individual Property, estimates of any monetary nature and any other items reasonably requested by Lender, in each case received by any Borrower or Operating Lessee under any Franchise Agreement.
(b) No Borrower shall (and shall not cause or permit any Operating Lessee to), without the prior consent of the Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), surrender any Franchise Agreement or terminate or cancel any Franchise Agreement or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, and each Borrower hereby assigns to Lender as further security for the payment of the Indebtedness and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Loan Agreement, any and all rights, privileges and prerogatives of each Borrower to surrender any Franchise Agreement or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any Franchise Agreement in any respect, and any such surrender of any Franchise Agreement or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of any Franchise Agreement without the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall be void and of no force and effect.

(e) Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this Section shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, shall be secured by the lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable within two (2) Business Days after demand by Lender therefor.
(f) Each Borrower shall, promptly upon request of Lender, but no more than two (2) times in any calendar year during the term of the Loan (unless (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) such request is occasioned in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction) use its diligent best efforts to obtain and deliver (or cause to be delivered) an estoppel certificate from each Franchisor stating that (i) each applicable Franchise Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been modified, amended or assigned, (ii) neither such Franchisor nor the franchisee named thereunder is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of each applicable Franchise Agreement and such Franchisor knows of no event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under each applicable Franchise Agreement, (iii) neither such Franchisor nor the franchisee thereunder has commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating any applicable Franchise Agreement and (iv) all sums due and payable to such Franchisor under each applicable Franchise Agreement have been paid in full.

LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD SHALL RESULT IN LENDER’S CONSENT BEING DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN GRANTED” and Borrower shall include the following documentation with such request all materials reasonably necessary in order for Lender to evaluate such matter.
