Related to Rights of Purchasers Limitations on Purchasers Obligations

• Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. For reasons of administrative convenience only, each Purchaser and its respective counsel have chosen to communicate with the Company through EGS. EGS does not represent any of the Purchasers and only represents the Placement Agent. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.

(d) There shall have been no material adverse change since June 30, 1998 in the Assets or the financial condition, results of operations, prospects or business of the Business taken as a whole; provided that the foregoing shall not include the termination of any Franchise Agreements due to the public announcement of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. (e) There shall be delivered to Purchaser a certificate executed by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Seller, dated the Closing Date, certifying, in their capacities as such officers, that the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 11 have been fulfilled. (f) Seller shall have obtained evidence in form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that any Encumbrances on the Assets pursuant to the Credit Agreement have been or will, immediately following the Closing, be released by the lenders thereunder.
