Franchise Agreements The Franchise Agreements are in full force and effect and there is no default thereunder by any party thereto and no circumstance, condition or event has occurred that, with the passage of time and/or giving of notice, would constitute a default thereunder or entitle Franchisor to terminate any Franchise Agreement.

A true, correct and complete copy of the Franchise Agreements, together with all amendments and ancillary agreements or side letters related thereto, have been delivered to Lender. The Loan, and the encumbrance of the Properties as security for the Loan, will not cause Borrower to violate any financial covenants contained in any Franchise Agreement.
