The Manager is hereby authorized by each Securitization Entity, and hereby agrees, to perform the Services (or refrain from the performance of the Services) subject to and in accordance with the Managing Standard and the terms of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Managed Documents. With respect to the IP Services, the Manager shall perform such IP Services in accordance with the Managing Standard and the IP License Agreements, unless a Franchise Entity determines, in its sole discretion, that additional action is necessary or desirable in furtherance of the protection of the Securitization IP, in which case the Manager shall perform such IP Services and additional related services as are reasonably requested by such Franchise Entity. The Manager, on behalf of the Securitization Entities, shall have full power and authority, acting alone and subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement and in accordance with the Managing Standard, the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents, to do and take any and all actions, or to refrain from taking any such actions, and to do any and all things in connection with performing the Services that the Manager determines are necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents, including Section 2.8, the Manager, in connection with performing the Services, is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, in the Manager’s own name (in its capacity as agent for the applicable Securitization Entity) or in the name of any Securitization Entity (pursuant to the applicable Power of Attorney), on behalf of any Securitization Entity any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Managed Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Manager is providing Services directly to each applicable Securitization Entity. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Securitization Entities from performing the Services or any other act on their own behalf at any time and from time to time.

(b) Actions to Perfect Liens. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, including any applicable Series Supplement, the Manager shall take those actions that are required under the Transaction Documents and Requirements of Law to maintain continuous perfection and priority (subject to Permitted Liens) of the Trustee’s Lien in the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, the Manager shall file or cause to be filed with the appropriate government office the financing statements on Form UCC-1, and assignments of financing statements on Form UCC-3 required pursuant to Section 7.13 of the Base Indenture, and other filings requested by the Securitization Entities, the Control Party or the Back-Up Manager, to be filed in connection with the Contribution Agreements, the IP License Agreements, the Securitization IP, the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.

(i) The Manager acknowledges and agrees that all Securitization IP, including any Manager-Developed IP arising during the Term, shall, as between the parties, be owned by and inure exclusively to the applicable Franchise Entity. Any copyrightable material included in such Manager-Developed IP shall, to the fullest extent allowed by law, be considered a “work made for hire” as that term is defined in Section 101 of the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976, as amended, and owned by the applicable Franchise Entity. The Manager hereby irrevocably assigns and transfers, without further consideration, all right, title and interest in such Manager-Developed IP (and all goodwill connected with the use of and symbolized by Trademarks included therein) to the applicable Franchise Entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager-Developed IP to be transferred to the applicable Franchise Entity shall include rights to use third party Intellectual Property only to the extent (but to the fullest extent) that such rights are assignable or sublicensable to the applicable Franchise Entity. All applications to register Manager-Developed IP shall be filed in the name of the applicable Franchise Entity.

(ii) The Manager agrees to cooperate in good faith with each Franchise Entity for the purpose of securing and preserving the Franchise Entity’s rights in and to the applicable Manager-Developed IP, including executing any documents and taking any actions, at the Franchise Entity’s reasonable request, or as deemed necessary or advisable by the Manager, to confirm, file and record in any appropriate registry the Franchise Entity’s sole legal title in and to such Manager-Developed IP, it being acknowledged and agreed that any expenses in connection therewith shall be paid by the requesting Franchise Entity. The Manager hereby appoints each Franchise Entity as its attorney-in-fact authorized to execute such documents in the event that Manager fails to execute the same within twenty (20) days following the Franchise Entity’s written request to do so (it being understood that such appointment is a power coupled with an interest and therefore irrevocable) with full power of substitution and delegation.

(d) Grant of Power of Attorney. In order to provide the Manager with the authority to perform and execute its duties and obligations as set forth herein, the Securitization Entities shall execute and deliver on the Closing Date a Power of Attorney in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto to the Manager, which Powers of Attorney shall terminate in the event that the Manager’s rights under this Agreement are terminated as provided herein.

(f) Manager Insurance. The Manager agrees to maintain adequate insurance consistent with the type and amount maintained by the Manager as of the Closing Date, subject, in each case, to any adjustments or modifications made in accordance with the Managing Standard.

Any Advertising Fees received in the Concentration Account shall be transferred by the Manager to the applicable Advertising Fund Account. The Manager shall not make or permit or cause any other Person to make or permit any borrowings to be made or Liens to be levied against the Advertising Fund Accounts or the funds therein.

The Manager may make advances to fund deficits in the Advertising Fund Accounts from time to time to the extent that it reasonably expects to be reimbursed for such advances from the proceeds of future Advertising Fees, it being agreed that any such advances shall not constitute Manager Advances. The Manager, acting on behalf of the Securitization Entities, may in accordance with the Managing Standard and the terms of the Franchise Agreements, the Company Restaurant Licenses and the Management Agreement, as applicable, increase or reduce the Advertising Fees required to be paid by the Franchisees and Company Restaurants, respectively, pursuant to the terms of the Franchise Agreements, the Company Restaurant Licenses and the Management Agreement and in accordance with the Managing Standard.

(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Manager (i) is a corporation, duly formed and organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (ii) is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the character of its property, the nature of its business or the performance of its obligations under the Transaction Documents make such qualification necessary and (iii) has the power and authority (x) to own its properties and to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is currently conducted and (y) to perform its obligations under this Agreement, except in each case referred to in clause (ii) or (iii) to the extent that a failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Manager.

(b) Power and Authority; No Conflicts. The execution and delivery by the Manager of this Agreement and its performance of, and compliance with, the terms hereof are within the power of the Manager and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Manager. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions herein, nor compliance with the provisions hereof, shall conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, any order of any Governmental Authority or any of the provisions of any Requirement of Law binding on the Manager or its properties, or the charter or bylaws or other organizational documents of the Manager, or any of the provisions of any material indenture, mortgage, lease, contract or other instrument to which the Manager is a party or by which it or its property is bound or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its property pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, mortgage, leases, contract or other instrument, except to the extent such default, creation or imposition would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Manager, the Collateral, or the Securitization Entities.

(c) Consents. Except (i) for registrations as a franchise broker or franchise sales agent as may be required under state franchise statutes and regulations, (ii) to the extent that a state or foreign franchise law requires filing and other compliance actions by virtue of considering the Manager as a “subfranchisor”, (iii) for any consents, licenses, approvals, authorizations, registrations, notifications, waivers or declarations that have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (iv) to the extent that a failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Manager, the Collateral or the Securitization Entities, the Manager is not required to obtain the consent of any other party or the consent, license, approval or authorization of, or file any registration or declaration with, any Governmental Authority in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Manager of this Agreement, or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement against the Manager.

(d) Due Execution and Delivery. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Manager and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Manager enforceable against the Manager in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable insolvency laws and to general principles of equity).

(e) No Litigation. There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the Actual Knowledge of the Manager, threatened in writing against or affecting the Manager, before or by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Manager or any of its properties or with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (i) asserting the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability, or seeking any determination or ruling that would affect the legality, binding effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or (ii) which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Manager, the Collateral or the Securitization Entities.

(f) Compliance with Requirements of Law. The Manager is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Manager, the Collateral or the Securitization Entities.

(g) No Default. The Manager is not in default under any agreement, contract, instrument or indenture to which the Manager is a party or by which it or its properties is or are bound, or with respect to any order of any Governmental Authority, except to the extent such default would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Manager or the Collateral; and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute such a default with respect to any such agreement, contract, instrument or indenture, or with respect to any such order of any Governmental Authority.

(h) Taxes. The Manager has filed or caused to be filed and shall file or cause to be filed all federal tax returns and all material state and other tax returns that are required to be filed except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Manager has paid or caused to be paid, and shall pay or cause to be paid, all taxes owed by the Manager pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessments made against it or any of its property (other than any amount of tax the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate action and with respect to which reserves in accordance with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Manager).

(i) Accuracy of Information. No written report, financial statements, certificate or other written information furnished (other than projections, budgets, other estimates and general market, industry and economic data) to the Control Party or the Back-Up Manager by or on behalf of the Manager in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (when taken together with all other information furnished by or on behalf of the Manager to the Control Party or the Back-Up Manager, as the case may be), contains any material misstatement of fact as of the date furnished or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not materially misleading in each case when taken as a whole and in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; and with respect to its projected financial information, the Manager represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

(j) Financial Statements. As of the Effective Date, the audited consolidated financial statements in the Manager’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2020 included in the Offering Memorandum (i) present fairly in all material respects the financial condition of Manager and its Subsidiaries as of such date, and the results of operations for the respective periods then ended and (ii) were prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as otherwise stated therein) applied consistently through the periods involved subject, in the case of such quarterly financial statements, to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments.

(k) No Material Adverse Change. Since December 27, 2020, except as otherwise set forth in the Offering Memorandum, there has been no development or event that has had or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Manager or the Collateral.

(l) ERISA. Neither the Manager nor any member of a Controlled Group that includes the Manager has established, maintains, contributes to, or has any liability in respect of (or has in the past six years established, maintained, contributed to, or had any liability in respect of) any Pension Plan. Neither the Manager nor any of its Affiliates has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement welfare benefits under a Welfare Plan, other than liability for continuation (i) described in Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA or other applicable continuation of coverage laws, (ii) provided in connection with the payment of severance benefits or (iii) that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Employee Benefit Plan presently complies and has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of all applicable statutes, rules and regulations, including ERISA and the Code, except for such instances of noncompliance as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No “prohibited transaction” (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) has occurred with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, other than transactions effected pursuant to a statutory or administrative exemption or such transactions as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each such Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which would cause the loss of such qualification.

(m) No Manager Termination Event. No Manager Termination Event has occurred or is continuing, and, to the Actual Knowledge of the Manager, there is no event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a Manager Termination Event.

(n) Location of Records. The offices at which the Manager keeps its records concerning the Managed Assets are located at the addresses indicated in Section 8.5.

(o) DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT FOR THE MANAGER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH HEREIN AND IN ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT, THE MANAGER MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF TO ANY OTHER PARTY, AND EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTY OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Section 4.2 Existence; Status as Manager. The Manager shall (a) keep in full effect its existence under the laws of the state of its incorporation, (b) maintain all rights and privileges necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business and the performance of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (c) obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify either individually or in the aggregate would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.3 Performance of Obligations.

(a) Performance. The Manager shall perform and observe all of its obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and in accordance with the Managing Standard.

(b) Special Provisions as to Securitization IP.

(i) The Manager acknowledges and agrees that each Franchise Entity has the right and duty to control the quality of the goods and services offered under such Franchise Entity’s Trademarks included in the Securitization IP and the manner in which such Trademarks are used in order to maintain the validity and enforceability of and its ownership of the Trademarks included in the Securitization IP. The Manager shall not take any action contrary to the express written instruction of the applicable Franchise Entity with respect to: (A) the promulgation of standards with respect to the operation of Branded Restaurants, including quality of food, cleanliness, appearance, and level of service (or the making of material changes to the existing standards), (B) the promulgation of standards with respect to new businesses, products and services which the applicable Franchise Entity approves for inclusion in the license granted under any IP License Agreement (or other license agreement or sublicense agreement for which the Manager is performing IP Services), (C) the nature and implementation of means of monitoring and controlling adherence to the standards, (D) the terms of any Franchise Agreements, the Product Sourcing Agreements or other sublicense agreements relating to the quality standards which licensees must follow with respect to businesses, products, and services offered under the Trademarks included in the Securitization IP and the usage of such Trademarks, (E) the commencement and prosecution of enforcement actions with respect to the Trademarks included in the Securitization IP and the terms of any settlements thereof, (F) the adoption of any variations on the Brands which are not in use on the Closing Date, or other new Trademarks to be included in the Securitization IP, (G) the abandonment of any Securitization IP and (H) any uses of the Securitization IP that are not consistent with the Managing Standard. The Franchise Entities shall have the right to monitor the Manager’s compliance with the foregoing and its performance of the IP Services and, in furtherance thereof, Manager shall provide each Franchise Entity, at either Franchise Entity’s written request from time to time, with copies of Franchise Documents, the Product Sourcing Agreements and other sublicenses, samples of products and materials bearing the Trademarks included in the Securitization IP used by Franchisees, any manufacturer or distributor of Proprietary Products and other licensees and sublicensees. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the Franchise Entities’ rights or the licensees’ obligations under the IP License Agreements or any other agreement with respect to which the Manager is performing IP Services.

(ii) The Manager is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free sublicensable license to use the Securitization IP solely in connection with the performance of the Services under this Agreement. In connection with the Manager’s use of any Trademark included in the Securitization IP pursuant to the foregoing license, the Manager agrees to adhere to the quality control provisions and sublicensing provisions, with respect to sublicenses issued hereunder, which are contained in each IP License Agreement, as applicable to the product or service to which such Trademark pertains, as if such provisions were incorporated by reference herein.

(c) Right to Receive Instructions. Without limiting the Manager’s obligations under Section 4.3(b) above, in the event that the Manager is unable to decide between alternative courses of action, or is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any Managed Documents, or any such provision is, in the good faith judgment of the Manager, ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any Managed Document permits any determination by the Manager or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action which the Manager is required to take with respect to a particular set of facts, the Manager may make a Consent Request to the Control Party for written instructions in accordance with the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents and, to the extent that the Manager shall have acted or refrained from acting in good faith in accordance with instructions, if any, received from the Control Party with respect to such Consent Request, the Manager shall not be liable on account of such action or inaction to any Person; provided that the Control Party shall be under no obligation to provide any such instruction if it is unable to decide between alternative courses of action. Subject to the Managing Standard, if the Manager shall not have received appropriate instructions from the Control Party within ten days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as may be specified in such notice), the Manager may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, as the Manager shall deem to be in the best interests of the Noteholders and the Securitization Entities. The Manager shall have no liability to any Secured Party or the Controlling Class Representative for such action or inaction taken in reliance on the preceding sentence except for the Manager’s own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) Limitation on Manager’s Duties and Responsibilities.

(i) The Manager shall not have any duty or obligation to manage, make any payment in respect of, register, record, sell, reinvest, dispose of, create, perfect or maintain title to, or any security interest in, or otherwise deal with the Collateral, to prepare or file any report or other document or to otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the Manager is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and consistent with the Managing Standard, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Manager. The Manager nevertheless agrees that it shall, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any Liens (other than Permitted Liens) on any part of the Managed Assets which result from valid claims against the Manager personally whether or not related to the ownership or administration of the Managed Assets or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(ii) Except as otherwise set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, the Manager shall have no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the Services in good faith and consistent with the Managing Standard.

(iii) The Manager shall not manage, control, use, sell, reinvest, dispose of or otherwise deal with any part of the Collateral except in accordance with the powers granted to, and the authority conferred upon, the Manager pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

Subject to Section 2.7 and except for any loss, liability, expense, damage, action, suit or injury arising out of, or resulting from, (i) any breach or default by the Manager in the observance or performance of any of its agreements contained in this Agreement or the other related documents, (ii) the breach by the Manager of any representation, warranty or covenant made by it herein or (iii) acts or omissions constituting the Manager’s own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct, in the performance of its duties hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents or otherwise, neither the Manager nor any of its Affiliates, managers, officers, members or employees shall be liable to any Securitization Entity, the Noteholders or any other Person under any circumstances, including: (1) for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Manager in good faith in accordance with the instructions of the Trustee, the Control Party or the Back-Up Manager; (2) for any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or Indebtedness of any Securitization Entity under the Notes, any other Transaction Documents or the Managed Documents, or for any other liability or obligation of any Securitization Entity; (3) for the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or the due execution hereof by any party hereto other than the Manager, or the form, character, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any part of the Collateral (including the creditworthiness of any Franchisee, lessee or other obligor thereunder), or for, or in respect of, the validity or sufficiency of the Transaction Documents; and (4) for any action or inaction of the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager or the Control Party or for the performance of, or the supervision of the performance of, any obligation under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document that is required to be performed by the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager or the Control Party.

(f) No Financial Liability. No provision of this Agreement (other than Sections 2.6, 2.7, 4.3(d)(i) and 4.3(e)) shall require the Manager to expend or risk its funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights or powers hereunder, if the Manager shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not compensated by the payment of the Monthly Management Fee and is otherwise not reasonably assured or provided to the Manager. Further, the Manager shall not be obligated to perform any services not enumerated or otherwise contemplated hereunder, unless the Manager determines that it is more likely than not that it shall be reimbursed for all of its expenses incurred in connection with such performance. The Manager shall not be liable under the Notes and shall not be responsible for any amounts required to be paid by the Securitization Entities under or pursuant to the Indenture.

(g) Reliance. The Manager may, reasonably and in good faith, conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting when doing so, in each case in accordance with any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other document or paper reasonably believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties other than its Affiliates. The Manager may reasonably accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any corporate or other entity other than its Affiliates as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the manner or ascertainment of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Manager may in good faith for all purposes hereof reasonably rely on a certificate, signed by any Authorized Officer of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate reasonably relied upon in good faith shall constitute full protection to the Manager for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

(h) Consultations with Third Parties; Advice of Counsel. In the exercise and performance of its duties and obligations hereunder or under any of the Transaction Documents, the Manager (A) may act directly or through agents or attorneys pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them; provided that the Manager shall remain primarily liable hereunder for the acts or omissions of such agents or attorneys and (B) may, at the expense of the Manager, consult with external counsel or accountants selected and monitored by the Manager in good faith and in the absence of negligence, and the Manager shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice or opinion of any such external counsel or accountants with respect to legal or accounting matters.

(i) Independent Contractor. In performing its obligations as manager hereunder the Manager acts solely as an independent contractor of the Securitization Entities, except to the extent the Manager is deemed to be an agent of the Securitization Entities by virtue of engaging in franchise sales activities, as a broker, or receiving payments on behalf of the Securitization Entities, as applicable. Nothing in this Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, create or constitute any joint venture, partnership, employment, or any other relationship between the Securitization Entities and the Manager other than the independent contractor contractual relationship established hereby. Nothing herein shall be deemed to vest in the Manager title to any of the Securitization IP. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents, the Manager shall not be, nor shall be deemed to be, liable for any acts or obligations of the Securitization Entities, the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager or the Control Party (except as set forth in Section 2.7 hereof).

Section 4.4 Merger and Resignation.

(a) Preservation of Existence. The Manager shall not merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its assets; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent (i) the merger into the Manager of another Person, (ii) the consolidation of the Manager and another Person, (iii) the merger of the Manager into another Person or (iv) the sale of substantially all of the property or assets of the Manager to another Person, so long as (A) the surviving Person of the merger or consolidation or the purchaser of the assets of the Manager shall continue to be engaged in the same line of business as the Manager and shall have the capacity to perform its obligations hereunder with at least the same degree of care, skill and diligence as measured by customary practices with which the Manager is required to perform such obligations hereunder, (B) in the case of a merger, consolidation or sale, the surviving Person of the merger or the purchaser of the assets of the Manager shall expressly assume the obligations of the Manager under this Agreement and expressly agree to be bound by all other provisions applicable to the Manager under this Agreement in a supplement to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Control Party and (C) with respect to such event, in and of itself, the Rating Agency Condition, if applicable, has been satisfied.

(b) Resignation. The Manager shall not resign from the rights, powers, obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that (A) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable Requirements of Law and (B) there is no reasonable action that the Manager could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable Requirements of Law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Manager pursuant to clause (A) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager and the Control Party. No such resignation shall become effective until a Successor Manager shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Manager in accordance with Section 6.1(a). The Trustee, the Securitization Entities, the Back-Up Manager, the Control Party and the Rating Agencies, if any, shall be notified of such resignation in writing by the Manager. From and after such effectiveness, the Successor Manager shall be, to the extent of the assignment, the “Manager” hereunder.

(iv) a material default by the Manager in the due performance and observance of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than as described above) to which it is party and the continuation of such default for a period of 30 days after the Manager has been notified thereof in writing by any Securitization Entity or the Control Party; provided, however, that as long as the Manager is diligently attempting to cure such default (so long as such default is capable of being cured), such cure period shall be extended by an additional period as may be required to cure such default, but in no event by more than an additional 30 days;

(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;

If a Manager Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) may direct the Trustee in writing 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 Securitization Entities, the Back-Up Manager and the Rating Agencies, if any); provided that the delivery of a Termination Notice shall not be required in the circumstances set forth in clause (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 this Agreement (or automatically upon the occurrence of any Manager Termination Event relating to the Manager Termination Events described in clause (vi) or (vii) above), all rights, powers, duties, obligations and responsibilities of the Manager under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, 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).

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 and the other Transaction Documents, including with respect to the Managed Assets, the Indenture Trust Accounts, the Management Accounts, the Advertising Fund Accounts or otherwise shall vest in and be assumed by the Successor Manager.

The Manager shall provide all information and assistance regarding the terminated Services required for Disentanglement, including data conversion and migration, interface specifications, and related professional services. All services relating to Disentanglement, 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.

(b) Fees and Charges for the Disentanglement Services. So long as the Manager continues to provide the Services during the Disentanglement Period, the Manager will continue to be paid the Monthly Management Fee. Following the Disentanglement Period, the Manager shall be entitled to reimbursement of its actual costs for the provision of any Disentanglement services.

(c) Duration of Obligations. The Manager’s obligation to provide Disentanglement services will continue during the period commencing on the date that a Termination Notice is delivered 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 Franchise Entities (with a copy to the Successor Manager and the Control Party) any and all products, materials, or other physical objects containing the Trademarks included in the Securitization IP or Confidential Information of the Franchise Entities and any copies of copyrighted works included in the 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 Manager and the other Non-Securitization Entities as licensees pursuant to the Company Restaurant Licenses shall continue pursuant to the terms thereof notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement and/or Manager’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 any such license or sublicense directly to the Successor Manager or its designated alternate service provider to the extent the Manager has the rights to assign such agreements to the Successor Manager or such service provider 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 the Securitization Entities 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 the Securitization Entities, the Trustee, 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) or (ii) in the case of the Manager and the Securitization Entities, 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 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 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.
