To the extent an Underlying Loan and any related prepayment penalty will be paid as of the Closing Date with the proceeds of a Financing Overage, the Lender Consent with respect to such Underlying Loan shall be deemed to have been obtained; (ii) In the event that at any time after July 15, 1999, Seller reasonably believes that (A) some or all of the Lender Consents will not be obtained or waived or (B) the Financing Overage will be an insufficient source of funds for the prepayment in full of all the Underlying Loans (together with all prepayment penalties) or (C) Buyer will not be able to obtain additional financing to prepay in full all the Underlying Loans (together with all prepayment penalties), Seller may seek to obtain new financing in an amount equal to such excess upon terms materially similar to market terms for similar loans on the date hereof. The proceeds of such financings shall be used solely to prepay as of the Closing Date in whole or in part one or more of the Underlying Loans for which Lender Consents have not been received or waived and any prepayment penalty with respect thereto. To the extent an Underlying Loan and any related prepayment penalty will be paid as of the Closing Date with the proceeds of any such financing, together with any Financing Overage, the -40- 49 Lender Consent with respect to such Underlying Loan shall be deemed to have been obtained. With respect to Underlying Loans that are not prepayable in accordance with their respective terms, all amounts paid or required to be paid pursuant to clause (i) above or this clause (ii) to obtain Lender Consents that exceed the amount of principal and accrued interest on the applicable Underlying Loan are referred to herein as the "Prepayment Amounts" and the parties shall use all reasonable best efforts to minimize the Prepayment Amounts; (iii) In the event that, following the operation of clauses (i) and (ii) above, all of the Lender Consents have not been obtained or deemed waived, Seller may, at its sole option, agree to have the Common Merger Consideration reduced by the aggregate amount necessary to pay at Closing all remaining amounts under the Underlying Loans in full, and Buyer shall agree to waive the condition that it receive any of the Lender Consents.

If the Franchise Fees are equal to or less than $12,500,000, the aggregate cash consideration payable to the holders of Seller Common Shares in the Merger and Seller Partnership Units in the Partnership Merger shall not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5.3(d). If the Franchise Fees exceed $12,500,000 but are less than $25,000,000 the aggregate cash consideration payable to holders of Seller Common Shares in the Merger and Seller Partnership Units in the Partnership Merger shall be reduced by one-half of the amount by which the Franchise Fees exceed $12,500,000, and the Merger Consideration and Partnership Merger Consideration per share or unit, as the case may be, shall be reduced accordingly. If the Franchise Fees exceed $25,000,000, at the option of Seller, Seller may or any Seller Subsidiary may pay or commit to pay or Seller may consent to Lessee paying or committing to pay such excess, and the aggregate cash consideration payable to holders of Seller Common Shares in the Merger and Seller Partnership Units in the Partnership Merger shall be reduced by the sum of (x) $6,250,000 as required by the preceding sentence and (y) the amount by which the Franchise Fees exceed $25,000,000, and the Merger Consideration and Partnership Merger Consideration per share or unit, as the case may be, shall be reduced accordingly. The Special Committee (or its representatives) shall be provided reasonable advance notice of all meetings with and copies of all correspondence with any franchisors under each of the Seller Franchise Agreements and be given the opportunity to attend and participate in all such meetings. (e) For purposes of the last two sentences of Section 5.3(d), no Franchise Fees that are paid or payable by Parent, Buyer or Lessee shall be included in determining the dollar thresholds in such sentences unless Seller shall have been consulted by Parent, Buyer or Lessee, as applicable, prior to the incurrence of such Franchise Fees.
