(v) any representation, warranty or statement of the Manager made in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in any certificate, report or other writing delivered pursuant thereto that is not qualified by materiality or the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” proves to be incorrect in any material respect, or any such representation, warranty or statement of the Manager that is qualified by materiality or the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” proves to be incorrect, in each case as of the time when the same was made or deemed to have been made or as of any other date specified in such document or agreement; provided that if any such breach is capable of being remedied within 30 days after the Manager has obtained Actual Knowledge of such breach or the Manager’s receipt of written notice thereof, then a Manager Termination Event shall only occur under this clause (v) as a result of such breach if it is not cured in all material respects by the end of such 30-day period;

(xii) the occurrence of a Change in Management following the occurrence of a Change of Control.

If a Manager Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) may (i) waive such Manager Termination Event (except for a Manager Termination Event described in clauses (vi) or (vii) above) or (ii) direct the Trustee to terminate the Manager in its capacity as such by the delivery of a termination notice (a “Termination Notice”) to the Manager (with a copy to each of the Service Recipients, the Back-Up Manager and the Rating Agencies); provided, that the delivery of a Termination Notice will not be required in respect of any Manager Termination Event relating to the Manager Termination Events described in clauses (vi) or (vii) above. If the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), delivers a Termination Notice to the Manager pursuant to ~~the Management~~this Agreement (or automatically upon the occurrence of any Manager Termination Event relating to the Manager Termination Events described in clauses (vi) or (vii) above), all rights, powers, duties, obligations and responsibilities of the Manager under ~~the Management~~this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (other than with respect to the payment of Indemnification Amounts or its obligations with respect to Disentanglement or, on and after the 2021 Springing Amendments Implementation Date, Continuity of Services), including with respect to the Accounts or otherwise, will vest in and be assumed by the Successor Manager appointed by the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative). If no Successor Manager has been appointed by the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), the Back-Up Manager will serve as ~~the~~Interim Successor Manager and will work with the Servicer to implement the Transition Plan until a Successor Manager (other than the Back-Up Manager) has been appointed by the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative).

(b) From and during the continuation of a Manager Termination Event, each Service Recipient and the Trustee (acting at the direction of the Control Party) are hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Manager, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments (including any notices to Franchisees deemed necessary or advisable by the applicable Service Recipient or the Control Party), and to do or accomplish all other acts or take other measures necessary or appropriate, to effect such vesting and assumption.

Section 6.2 Manager Termination Event Remedies . If the Trustee, acting at the written direction of the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), delivers a Termination Notice to the Manager pursuant to Section 6.1(a) (or automatically upon the occurrence of any Manager Termination Event described in clauses (vi) or (vii) of Section 6.1(a)), all rights, powers, duties, obligations and responsibilities of the Manager under this Agreement (other than with respect to the obligation to pay any Indemnification Amounts) and the other Transaction Documents, including with respect to the Managed Assets, the applicable Indenture Trust Accounts, the applicable Management Accounts, the applicable Advertising Fund Accounts, the Existing Local Take 5 Company Location Accounts or otherwise shall vest in and be assumed by the Successor Manager without incurring any additional cost.

Section 6.3 Manager’s Transitional Role.

(a) Disentanglement. Following the delivery of a Termination Notice to the Manager pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.2 above or notice of resignation of the Manager pursuant to Section 4.4(b), the Manager shall cooperate with the Back-Up Manager and the Control Party in connection with the implementation of the Transition Plan (as defined in the Back-Up Management Agreement) and the complete transition to a Successor Manager, without interruption or adverse impact on the provision of Services (the “Disentanglement”). The Manager shall

cooperate fully with the Successor Manager or Interim Successor Manager, as the case may be and otherwise promptly take all actions required to assist in effecting a complete Disentanglement and shall follow any directions that may be provided by the Back-Up Manager and the Control Party. On and after the 2021 Springing Amendments Implementation Date, the Manager will use its commercially reasonable efforts to not materially reduce the existing staff and resources of the Manager devoted to or shared with the provision of the Services prior to the date of such Termination Notice and allow reasonable access to the Manager’s premises, systems and offices during the Disentanglement Period (such activities being referred to as “Continuity of Services”). The Manager shall provide all information and assistance regarding the terminated Services required for Disentanglement and, on and after the 2021 Springing Amendments Implementation Date, Continuity of Services, including data conversion and migration, interface specifications, and related professional services. All services relating to Disentanglement (“Disentanglement Services”), and, on and after the 2021 Springing Amendments Implementation Date, Continuity of Services, including all reasonable training for personnel of the Back-Up Manager, the Successor Manager or the Successor Manager’s designated alternate service provider in the performance of the Services, will be deemed a part of the Services to be performed by the Manager. So long as the Manager continues to provide the Services (whether or not the Manager has been terminated as the Manager) during the Disentanglement Period, the Manager will continue to be paid the Weekly Management Fee.

(b) Fees and Charges for the Disentanglement Services. Upon the Successor Manager’s assumption of the obligation to perform all Services hereunder, the Manager shall be entitled to reimbursement of its actual costs for the provision of any Disentanglement Services, other than, on and after the 2021 Springing Amendments Implementation Date, those related to Continuity of Services, which will remain separate obligations of the Manager.

(c) Duration of Obligations. The Manager’s obligation to provide Disentanglement Services will continue during the period commencing on (a) the delivery of a Termination Notice to the Manager (or upon automatic termination of the Manager following the occurrence of any Manager Termination Event described in clauses (vi) or (vii) in the definition thereof) or (b) the delivery of a resignation notice by ~~either or both Managers~~the Manager and ending on the date on which the Successor Manager or the re-engaged Manager assumes all of the obligations of the Manager hereunder (the “Disentanglement Period”).

(d) Sub-managing Arrangements; Authorizations.

(i) With respect to each Sub-managing Arrangement and unless the Control Party elects to terminate such Sub-managing Arrangement in accordance with Section 2.10, the Manager shall:

(x) assign to the Successor Manager (or such Successor Manager’s designated alternate service provider) all of the Manager’s rights under such Sub-managing Arrangement to which it is party used by the Manager in performance of the transitioned Services; and

(y) procure any third party authorizations necessary to grant the Successor Manager (or such Successor Manager’s designated alternate service provider) the use and benefit of such Sub-managing Arrangement to which it is party (used by the Manager in performing the transitioned Services), pending their assignment to the Successor Manager under this Agreement.

(ii) If the Control Party elects to terminate such Sub-managing Arrangement in accordance with Section 2.10, the Manager shall take all reasonable actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Control Party to accomplish a complete transition of the Services performed by such Sub-manager to the Successor Manager, or to any alternate service provider designated by the Control Party, without interruption or adverse impact on the provision of Services.

Section 6.4 Intellectual Property. Within thirty (30) days of termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Manager shall deliver and surrender up to the SPV Franchising Entities (with a copy to the Successor Manager and the Servicer) any and all products, materials, or other physical objects containing the Trademarks included in the applicable Securitization IP or Confidential Information of the SPV Franchising Entities and any copies of copyrighted works included in the applicable Securitization IP in the Manager’s possession or control, and shall terminate all use of all Securitization IP, including Trade Secrets; provided that (for the avoidance of doubt) any rights granted to ~~Driven Brands~~DBI and the other Non-Securitization Entities as licensees pursuant to the IP License Agreements shall continue pursuant to the terms thereof notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement and/or ~~Driven Brands’~~DBI’s role as Manager.

Section 6.5 Third Party Intellectual Property. The Manager shall assist and fully cooperate with the Successor Manager or its designated alternate service provider in obtaining any necessary licenses or consents to use any third party Intellectual Property then being used by the Manager or any Sub-manager. The Manager shall assign, and shall cause each Sub-manager to assign, any such license or sublicense directly to the Successor Manager or its designated alternate service provider to the extent the Manager, or each Sub-manager as applicable, has the rights to assign such agreements to the Successor Manager without incurring any additional cost.

Section 6.6 No Effect on Other Parties. Upon any termination of the rights and powers of the Manager from time to time pursuant to Section 6.1 or upon any appointment of a Successor Manager, all the rights, powers, duties, obligations, and responsibilities of each of the Service Recipients or the Trustee under this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents shall remain unaffected by such termination or appointment and shall remain in full force and effect thereafter, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in the Indenture.

Section 6.7 Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies from time to time conferred upon or reserved to any of the Service Recipients, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Control Party, the Back-Up Manager and the Noteholders or to any or all of the foregoing are cumulative, and none is intended to be exclusive of another or any other right or remedy which they may have at law or in equity. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no delay or omission in

insisting upon the strict observance or performance of any provision of this Agreement, or in exercising any right or remedy, shall be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of such provision, nor shall it impair such right or remedy. Every such right and remedy may be exercised from time to time and as often as deemed expedient.

ARTICLE VII

CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 7.1 Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that during the Term of this Agreement such party (the “Recipient”) may receive Confidential Information from another party hereto (the “Discloser”). Each such party (except for the Trustee, whose confidentiality obligations shall be governed in accordance with the Indenture) agrees to maintain the Confidential Information of the other party in the strictest of confidence and shall not, except as otherwise contemplated herein, at any time, use, disseminate or disclose any Confidential Information to any Person other than (i) its officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (including legal counsel and accountants) who have a “need to know” and who have been apprised of this restriction or (ii) in the case of the Manager, the Initial Sub-managers and the Service Recipients, Franchisees and prospective Franchisees, suppliers or other service providers under written confidentiality agreements that contain provisions at least as protective as those set forth in this Agreement. The Recipient shall be liable for any breach of this Section 7.1 by any of its officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, advisors, representatives, Franchisees and prospective Franchisees, suppliers or other services providers and shall immediately notify Discloser in the event of any loss or disclosure of any Confidential Information of the Discloser. Upon termination of this Agreement, Recipient shall return to the Discloser, or at Discloser’s request, destroy, all documents and records in its possession containing the Confidential Information of the Discloser. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (A) is already known to Recipient without restriction on use or disclosure prior to receipt of such information from the Discloser; (B) is or becomes part of the public domain other than by breach of this Agreement by, or other wrongful act of, the Recipient; (C) is developed by the Recipient independently of and without reference to any Confidential Information of the Discloser; (D) is received by the Recipient from a third party who is not under any obligation to the Discloser to maintain the confidentiality of such information; or (E) is required to be disclosed by applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, subpoena, court order or legal process; provided that the Recipient shall promptly inform the Discloser of any such requirement and cooperate with any attempt by the Discloser to obtain a protective order or other similar treatment. It shall be the obligation of Recipient to prove that such an exception to the definition of Confidential Information exists.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.1(a), the parties hereto may use, disseminate or disclose Confidential Information (other than Trade Secrets) to any Person in connection with the enforcement of rights of the Trustee or the Noteholders under the Indenture or the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that prior to disclosing any such Confidential Information:

(i) to any such Person other than in connection with any judicial or regulatory proceeding, such Person shall agree in writing to maintain such Confidential Information in a manner at least as protective of the Confidential Information as the terms of Section 7.1(a) and Recipient shall provide Discloser with the written opinion of counsel that such disclosure contains Confidential Information only to the extent necessary to facilitate the enforcement of such rights of the Trustee or the Noteholders; or

(ii) to any such Person or entity in connection with any judicial or regulatory proceeding, Recipient will (x) promptly notify Discloser of each such requirement and identify the documents so required thereby so that Discloser may seek an appropriate protective order or similar treatment and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement; (y) use reasonable efforts to assist Discloser in obtaining such protective order or other similar treatment protecting such Confidential Information prior to any such disclosure; and (z) consult with Discloser on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow the scope of such requirement. If, in the absence of such a protective order or similar treatment, the Recipient is nonetheless required by law to disclose any part of Discloser’s Confidential Information, then the Recipient may disclose such Confidential Information without liability under this Agreement, except that the Recipient will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.17 Securitization-Owned Locations.

directions, reports, notices or other communications delivered by Electronic Transmission and shall not have any duty or obligation to verify or confirm that the Person sending instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information by Electronic Transmission is, in fact, a Person authorized to give such instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information on behalf of the party purporting to send such Electronic Transmission, and the Trustee shall not have any liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or sustained by any party as a result of such reliance upon or compliance with such instructions, directions, reports, notices or other communications or information to the Trustee, including, without limitation, the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, notices, reports or other communications or information, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties (except to the extent such action results from gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud by the Trustee). Any requirement in this Agreement that is to be signed or authenticated by “manual signature” or similar language shall not be deemed to prohibit signature to be by facsimile or electronic signature and shall not be deemed to prohibit delivery thereof by Electronic Transmission. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any and all communications (both text and attachments) by or from the Trustee that the Trustee in its sole discretion deems to contain confidential, proprietary and/or sensitive information and sent by Electronic Transmission will be encrypted.
