(b) Each of the Loan Agreements shall require that the applicable Borrower thereunder comply with the following financial covenant[s]:

[(i) Rental Revenue to Debt Service. Commencing on the first day of the calendar quarter in which the 25th month following the Opening Date of the first store location of the Borrower occurs and measured as of the last day of the calendar quarter in which such 25th month occurs and on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter, the ratio of the Borrower’s Rental Revenue to Debt Service for such quarter shall not be less than 2.2:1.0;] ¹

Debt Service and Debt attributable to such locations and deducted from the final calculations shall be deducted on a pro rata basis calculated by dividing such stores’ aggregate Net Book Value of Merchandise by the Net Book Value of Merchandise for all store locations. The financial covenants shall otherwise be calculated on a consolidated basis as to all store locations.

(b) Upon establishment of the above-referenced accounts and receipt of the above-referenced Loan Documents, duly executed by the Borrower and each Guarantor, and if requested by Sponsor in writing, confirmation by Servicer of its first-priority security interest in the Collateral, Servicer shall notify the Borrower and Sponsor that the Borrower may request Advances pursuant to the Line of Credit Commitment; provided, however, that the minimum amount of each Advance shall be $500. Each Advance shall be made by Servicer for the sole purpose of (i) honoring requests from US Borrowers, made through the Aaron’s Proprietary System, for ACH transfers to suppliers of Merchandise in payment of Approved Invoices, for payment of state sales and use taxes and for payment of freight charges to the extent Sponsor consents thereto or (ii) honoring requests from Canadian Borrowers, made through the Sponsor by fax, email or other electronic forms of notification to the Servicer by 12:00 Noon on the last Business Day immediately prior to the 10th or 25th day of each month, for SWIFT transfers to suppliers of Merchandise in payment of Approved Invoices and to the extent permitted by Sponsor, to pay sales and use taxes and freight charges. The Borrowers shall not be authorized to use the DDA Account or FTCA for any other purpose.

(c) Each Borrower will submit purchase order requests for Merchandise to Sponsor. In the event that the purchase order is authorized pursuant to the Franchise Agreement, Sponsor will prepare the purchase order and submit the same to the appropriate supplier requested by the Borrower. The supplier will be instructed to ship all Merchandise directly to the Borrower and the Borrower will be responsible for inspecting all Merchandise and resolving all disputes regarding the Merchandise with such supplier. The supplier will invoice the Borrower for such Merchandise in accordance with normal industry practice. When the Borrower wishes to pay such invoice, the Borrower, subject to availability of its Loan Commitment and the minimum borrowing threshold, shall pay such invoice by directing Servicer, through the Aaron’s Proprietary System, to pay such invoice by means of an ACH transfer from its DDA Account if such Borrower is a US Borrower or by requesting that Sponsor, through fax, email or other electronic forms of notification by 12:00 Noon on the last Business Day immediately prior to the 10th or 25th day of each month, direct the Servicer to pay such invoice by means of a SWIFT transfer from its FCTA if such Borrower is a Canadian Borrower. Any directions for ACH transfers inputted by the US Borrowers into the Aaron’s Proprietary System prior to 12:00 Midnight (Atlanta, Georgia time) on any Business Day, shall be forwarded to Servicer pursuant to Sponsor’s existing ACH access by 3:30 p.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the next Business Day and, if properly forwarded to Servicer by Sponsor shall be paid by Servicer no later than the second Business Day thereafter, unless Sponsor is otherwise notified by Servicer. Any directions for SWIFT transfers transmitted by the Sponsor on behalf of the Canadian Borrowers prior to 12:00 noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the last Business Day immediately prior to the 10th or 25th day of each month shall be paid by Servicer no later than the next Business Day thereafter, unless Sponsor is otherwise notified by Servicer.

(d) Sponsor hereby acknowledges and agrees that Servicer has no ability to halt an ACH transfer upon the inputting of such transfer request by Sponsor from the Aaron’s Proprietary System into the ACH system (other than the ability to retrieve ACH transfers which are sent to the wrong party or otherwise manifestly erroneous as provided in the ACH Agreement with Sponsor) and Sponsor accepts full responsibility for any overadvance created by such inputting of information. Upon receipt of the request for an ACH transfer or SWIFT Transfer, as applicable, Servicer shall honor such request by making an Advance pursuant to the Loan Commitment in the amount of such request into the Borrower’s DDA Account or FTCA, as applicable, and automatically forwarding such amount to the supplier by means of an ACH transfer or SWIFT transfer, as applicable in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower passed onto Servicer by Sponsor.

(e) Nothing set forth herein shall be deemed to vary the terms and conditions of the MicroACH Service Agreement by and between Servicer and Sponsor.

2.5

Tracking of Collateral for Borrowers; Asset Dispositions of Borrowers with Lines of Credit.

All Merchandise financed by Servicer must be serialized via the Aaron’s Proprietary System for appropriate reconciliation of Advances and receipt of Merchandise and for purposes of tracking Asset Dispositions. Each Borrower shall be obligated to furnish serial numbers for all

Merchandise purchased directly to Sponsor on a weekly basis (and, if available, on a daily basis) by transmittal of Borrower’s receiving report (containing Aaron’s Proprietary System numbers) directly to Sponsor on the Aaron’s Proprietary System. As set forth more fully below, Sponsor will maintain and track such information as agent for Servicer, and Servicer shall at all times have access to such information.

Any Borrower with a Line of Credit shall immediately report any Asset Disposition to Sponsor by means of the Aaron’s Proprietary System, such information to include the Aaron’s Proprietary System numbers, and if assigned, the serial numbers of the Merchandise subject to the Asset Disposition, the Net Book Value of such Merchandise and the proceeds received by the Borrower therefrom. Sponsor on a monthly basis shall transmit all such information to Servicer in summary form to be received by Servicer no later than the twelfth Business Day of each month. Based solely on such information provided by Sponsor to Servicer, Servicer shall prepare and forward to each US Borrower, on a monthly basis, an invoice for payment of the aggregate outstanding amount of the Line of Credit Loan in an amount equal to the Net Book Value of the Asset Dispositions during the preceding month not applied to Advances made during such month (the “Asset Disposition Invoice”), unless Sponsor notifies the Servicer in writing that it wishes to waive the payment reflected in the Asset Disposition Invoice, which notice must be received by the Servicer at least twelve (12) Business Days prior to the date that the Asset Disposition Invoice is sent. Based solely on such information provided by Sponsor to Servicer, Servicer shall include Net Book Value of the Asset Dispositions during the preceding month not applied to Advances made during such month in the monthly invoice for Canadian Borrowers. If the Servicer receives such notice in writing from Sponsor at least twelve (12) Business Days prior to the date that the Asset Disposition Invoice is otherwise to be sent, the Servicer agrees to notify the applicable Borrower that the “Asset Disposition Prepayment” required under its Loan Agreement is waived. Otherwise, the Asset Disposition Invoice shall be forwarded to the Borrower by Servicer by the 15th day of each calendar month for US Borrowers and the Business Day next succeeding the 25^th day of each calendar month for Canadian Borrowers and payment thereof shall be due on the next succeeding Payment Date or Canadian Payment Date (as applicable).

No more than twelve (12) Business Days after the last day of each Calendar Month, Sponsor shall determine and report to Servicer the aggregate amount of (i) the eighteen (18) month advances made to each Borrower, (ii) the twenty-four (24) month advances made to each Borrower and (iii) the Asset Dispositions made by each Borrower during such month. Upon receipt of the foregoing report, Servicer shall determine the aggregate amount of Advances made to each Borrower during such month and shall subtract therefrom payments received by Servicer from such Borrower with respect to Asset Dispositions made since the cut-off date for the last monthly invoice to such Borrower. The remaining principal amount of Advances made during such month shall be amortized (in accordance with a straight-line amortization schedule) in twenty-four (24) equal payments of principal due and payable on the Canadian Payment Dates for Advances under a Canadian Line of Credit Commitment and in eighteen (18) or twenty-four (24) (as appropriate) equal payments of principal due and payable on the Payment Dates for Advances under a US Line of Credit Commitment. On the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month, Servicer shall mail to each US Borrower a detailed bill setting forth the total amount of principal and interest due and summarizing all account activity during the preceding month. On the Business Day next succeeding the twenty-fifth (25^th) day of each calendar month, Servicer shall mail, email or fax to each Canadian Borrower a detailed bill setting forth the total amount of principal and interest due and the Net Book Value of the Asset Dispositions during the preceding month not applied to

Advances made during such month and summarizing all account activity during the preceding month. Payments of such principal and interest amount shall be due and payable on the Payment Dates or Canadian Payment Dates (as applicable). Servicer shall have the exclusive right to collect and receive all such payments on the Loans from the Borrowers which are due and owing to Servicer. In the event that Sponsor receives any such payment with respect to the Loans pursuant to the Franchisee Loan Program (other than with respect to Loans purchased by Sponsor or where Sponsor has been subrogated to the rights of Servicer pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Guaranty), such payments shall be accepted by Sponsor as agent for Servicer and Sponsor shall immediately endorse and forward the same to Servicer.

Each US Borrower shall have the right to prepay its Loan in whole or in part upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to Servicer. Each Canadian Borrower shall have the right to prepay its Loan in whole or in part on a Canadian Payment Date upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to Servicer. Partial prepayments of any Loan (other than proceeds of Asset Dispositions which shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.5) shall be applied to reduce the current month’s Advance(s) to such Borrower with any excess prepayment applied to unpaid principal payments of the Loan in inverse order of maturity.

2.8

Use of Loan Proceeds; Mechanics of Loan Program for Revolving Loans and Term Loans.

(a) Following the receipt of the executed Loan Documents with respect to a proposed Borrower, but prior to the Closing Date of the proposed Loan Commitment, Servicer shall (i) establish a DDA Account (unless the US Franchisee has only a Term loan) and a Loan Account for any US Franchisee and (ii) establish a FCTA (unless the Canadian Franchisee has only a Term Loan) and a Loan Account for any Canadian Franchisee.

(b) Upon establishment of the above-referenced accounts and receipt of the above-referenced Loan Documents, duly executed by the Borrower and each Guarantor, and if requested by Sponsor, confirmation by Servicer of its first-priority security interest in the Collateral, Servicer shall notify the relevant Borrower and Sponsor that the Borrower may request Advances pursuant to the US Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that the minimum amount of each Advance shall be $500. Each Advance shall be made by Servicer for the sole purposes of (i) honoring requests from any US Borrower, made through the Aaron’s Proprietary System, for ACH transfers to suppliers of Merchandise in payment of Approved Invoices, and (ii) honoring requests from any US Borrower for Advances made via ACH transfers to an operating account or other location specified by such Borrower (and granted a vendor identification number by Sponsor) for working capital purpose. The Borrowers shall not be authorized to use the DDA Account or FCTA for any other purpose. All Term Loans shall be disbursed in a single advance on the date agreed to by the Borrower and the Servicer via a wire transfer or a SWIFT transfer to an operating account or other location specified by such Borrower.

(c) Each Borrower with a Revolving Commitment will submit purchase order requests for Merchandise to Sponsor. In the event that the purchase order is authorized pursuant to the Franchise Agreement, Sponsor will prepare the purchase order and submit the same to the appropriate supplier requested by the Borrower. The supplier will be instructed to ship all Merchandise directly to the Borrower and the Borrower will be responsible for inspecting all Merchandise and resolving all disputes regarding the Merchandise with such supplier. The supplier will invoice the Borrower for such Merchandise in accordance with normal industry practice. When the Borrower wishes to pay such invoice, the Borrower, subject to availability of its Loan Commitment and the minimum borrowing threshold, shall pay such invoice by directing Servicer, through the Aaron’s Proprietary System, to pay such invoice by means of an ACH transfer from its DDA Account if such Borrower is a US Borrower or by requesting that Sponsor, through fax, email or other electronic forms of notification by 12:00 Noon on the last Business Day immediately prior to the 10th or 25th day of each month, direct the Servicer to pay such invoice by means of a SWIFT transfer from its FCTA if such Borrower is a Canadian Borrower. Any directions for ACH transfers inputted by the US Borrowers into the Aaron’s Proprietary System prior to 12:00 Midnight (Atlanta, Georgia time) on any Business Day, shall be forwarded to Servicer pursuant to Sponsor’s existing ACH access by 3:30 p.m. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the next Business Day and, if properly forwarded to Servicer by Sponsor shall be paid by Servicer no later than the second Business Day thereafter, unless Sponsor is otherwise notified by Servicer. Any directions for SWIFT transfers faxed by the Canadian Borrowers prior to 12:00 Noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the last Business Day immediately prior to the 10th or 25th day of each month shall be paid by Servicer no later than the next Business Day thereafter, unless Sponsor is otherwise notified by Servicer.

(d) Sponsor hereby acknowledges and agrees that Servicer has no ability to halt an ACH transfer upon the inputting of such transfer request by Sponsor from the Aaron’s Proprietary System into the ACH system (other than the ability to retrieve ACH transfers which are sent to the wrong party or otherwise manifestly erroneous as provided in the ACH Agreement with Sponsor) and Sponsor accepts full responsibility for any overadvance created by such inputting of information and has agreed to indemnify Servicer and Participants therefore pursuant to the terms of the Loan Facility Agreement. Upon receipt of the request for an ACH transfer or a SWIFT transfer (as applicable), Servicer shall honor such request by making an Advance pursuant to the Loan Commitment in the amount of such request into the Borrower’s DDA Account or FTCA, as applicable, and automatically forwarding such amount to the supplier by means of an ACH transfer or SWIFT transfer, as applicable, in accordance with the instructions of the Borrower passed onto Servicer by Sponsor.

In addition, the outstanding Advances pursuant to each Revolving Commitment shall not exceed the Franchisee Borrowing Base for such Borrower, as determined by Sponsor on the fifth Business Day of each month (as determined on the last day of the preceding calendar month) and reported to Servicer on such date. Servicer shall be entitled to rely upon the calculation of the Franchisee Borrowing Base for each Borrower submitted by Sponsor for all purposes hereunder. Upon receipt of the Franchisee Borrowing Base, Servicer shall input such information into Servicer’s loan records to be effective as of the date which is two Business Days after receipt of such information.

In addition, however, Servicer, on the date which is two Business Days after receipt of such calculation from Sponsor, shall notify the Borrowers in writing (including facsimile) of the new Franchisee Borrowing Base for such Borrower and shall require that such Borrower repay on the next Payment Date any additional Advances made since the date of the preparation of the statement for such Payment Date if necessary to avoid any overadvance as of such date. Upon the earlier of one (1) Business Day after notice from the Sponsor to the Servicer or the next Payment Date, each Borrower shall prepay its outstanding Advances in excess of the relevant Franchisee Borrowing Base.

2.10

Prepayment of Revolving Loans, US Term Loans and Canadian Term Loans.

Each US Borrower shall have the right to prepay its Loan in whole or in part upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to Servicer. Each Canadian Borrower shall have the right to prepay its Loan in whole or in part on a Canadian Payment Date upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to Servicer.

2.11

Default Rate of Interest.

If any Borrower shall fail to pay on the due date therefor (subject to any applicable grace period), whether by acceleration or otherwise, any principal owing by such Borrower under any of the Loan Documents, then interest shall accrue on such unpaid principal from the due date until and including the date on which such principal is paid in full at a rate of interest equal to the Default Rate.

2.12

Legal Expenses.

In the event that any requested Loan does not close, Servicer shall charge Sponsor for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising from its review or preparation of the initial draft of the Loan Documents, Financing Statement filings and searches. In the event the Loan closes, Servicer shall be entitled to charge the Borrower for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, including all documentary stamp tax, filing fees, lien search costs and recording costs. In the event that Servicer has not received payment from any Borrower for the expenses permitted in this Section 2.12 after diligent collection efforts, Sponsor shall pay Servicer such expenses, and Servicer shall assign to Sponsor any rights it may have against such Borrower for the payment of such expenses.

2.13

Servicing Fee and Sponsor’s Fee.

Servicer shall be entitled to a servicing fee for each Payment Period equal to the amount specified in the Fee Letter (“Servicing Fee”), and Sponsor shall be entitled to the amounts specified in the Fee Letter (the “US Sponsor’s Fee” and the “Canadian Sponsor’s Fee” and collectively the “Sponsor’s Fee”) to the extent received by Servicer.

3. SERVICING OF LOANS

Sponsor shall have the right to waive any Loan Default without the consent of Servicer; provided, however, that (i) Sponsor may only waive Loan Payment Defaults if Sponsor simultaneously cures such Loan Payment Defaults, (ii) Sponsor may not waive more than two consecutive Loan Payment Defaults for any Loan or more than four Loan Payment Defaults for any one Loan during any four-year period, (iii) Sponsor may not waive any Loan Default arising from the bankruptcy or insolvency of a Borrower or any Guarantor of such Loan, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or similar fiduciary for such Borrower or Guarantor, or the assignment for the benefit of creditors or the seeking of relief from creditors under applicable law by such Borrower or Guarantor, or the offering of settlement or composition to the unsecured creditors of such Borrower or Guarantor generally, (iv) Sponsor may not waive any Loan Default arising from the termination (or non-renewal) of any Franchisee Agreement, of which Sponsor agrees to give prompt notice to the Servicer, and (v) Sponsor may not waive a default arising based upon the action or inaction of the Sponsor or any of its Subsidiaries.

Servicing and Administration of Loans.

Servicer shall service and administer the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and its usual practices and procedures for loans of similar size and structure as determined by Servicer in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Sponsor is not in default hereunder and has a continuing obligation pursuant to the Loan Facility Agreement

and this Agreement, Servicer shall be responsible for the following duties in connection with the service and administration of the Loans:

(a) making of Advances pursuant to each Loan Commitment as set forth above;

(b) maintenance of files containing the Loan Documents forwarded to Servicer by Sponsor or a Borrower; provided, however, that the Servicer shall have no responsibility for maintaining any documents (including, without limitation, landlord waivers, legal descriptions, leases or certificates of insurance) that are not actually delivered to the Bank and shall have no obligation to notify the Sponsor that it has not received any items other than the Loan Documents prepared by Servicer and sent to any Franchisee;

(d) receipt of loan payments via check, ACH wire transfer, pre-authorized debits, or SWIFT transfer from the Borrowers and maintenance of adequate records of such payments (with the understanding that any ACH debit or pre-authorized debit for an Account of a Canadian Borrower made by Servicer which is rejected will be reinitiated only once);

(e) notification to each US Borrower, by deposit into regular U.S. Mail, ten (10) days prior to each Payment Date, of a notice that the installment is coming due on such Payment Date, if any, and the amount of interest due on such date (or the amount that will be debited in the case of a Borrower who has authorized ACH debits or SWIFT transfers);

(h) within five (5) days from the date an installment is thirty (30) days delinquent, notification to such Borrower, by mailing by registered U.S. Mail, of a letter demanding immediate payment of the past due amount of principal and interest to avoid further collection action, with a copy of such letter to be simultaneously delivered to Sponsor;

(i) on each Business Day on which an Advance is made, notification to Sponsor by telecopy, of a report at the end of such Business Day summarizing the loan activity on such day and setting forth the available balance of the relevant Loan Commitment;

fifteen (15) days or more past due and provide (1) the amount past due, (2) the total principal outstanding, and (3) the number of days past due;

(k) delivery to the Borrowers with Revolving Commitments within two Business Days after receipt of the calculation of the Franchisee Borrowing Base from Sponsor, of the amount of such Franchisee Borrowing Base and any additional required payments by the Borrower on the next Payment Date; and

(l) delivery to Sponsor of the “Quarterly Servicing Report” required by the Fee Letter and delivery to the Sponsor and the Participants of the Monthly Servicing Report and the Quarterly Servicing Report required by the Loan Facility Agreement.

3.3

Waiver of Loan Defaults. Sponsor may waive any financial covenant Loan Default of a Borrower by sending to the Servicer for execution a Default Waiver Letter, which Servicer agrees to execute and mail to the appropriate Borrower if such Default Waiver Letter is in form and substance satisfactory to the Servicer.

3.4

Preservation of Lien Priorities; Assignment of Rights.

Until the earlier of Servicer’s receipt of payment in full of a Loan and termination of the applicable Loan Commitment or the purchase by Sponsor of a Loan pursuant to the terms of the Loan Facility Agreement, Servicer shall, if the Loan is secured, (i) prepare amendments to financing statements promptly upon receipt of written notice of change of name or address or location of debtors or the Collateral thereunder and file such amendments or a new financing statement, in the case of a change in the debtor’s location or the location of the Collateral, in the appropriate location based on the information contained in such notice, promptly upon return thereof by the debtor, (ii) timely file continuation statements pertaining to such Financing Statements and (iii) take all other reasonable action requested by Sponsor to protect the priority of liens or security interests with respect to the Collateral securing each Loan, all at Sponsor’s expense. Upon the purchase by Sponsor of a Loan pursuant to the terms of the Loan Facility Agreement, or in the event that Sponsor reimburses Servicer or otherwise becomes obligated to Servicer for expenses (including without limitation, funding losses) of Servicer incurred in connection with a proposed loan which was never consummated that have not been reimbursed by the applicable Borrower, Servicer shall be deemed to have assigned to Sponsor all rights and remedies that Servicer may have had against the Borrower in accordance with and subject to the limitations of Section 10.15 of the Loan Facility Agreement. In connection with such deemed assignment, Servicer agrees to execute on a timely basis all such instruments and documents as are reasonably requested in order to evidence Sponsor’s rights or to permit Sponsor to exercise such rights, including without limitation, forms of assignments, all without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, Servicer.

3.5

Amendments to Loan Documents; Further Documentation.

Except to correct an immaterial ambiguity or manifest error, Servicer shall not agree to any amendment of the applicable Loan Documents after closing of any Loan without the prior written approval of Sponsor unless a Credit Event has occurred and is continuing or the Sponsor has no further obligations pursuant to its guaranty obligations with respect to such Loan. Upon receipt of either such approval, or written instructions from Sponsor directing Servicer to do so, Servicer shall timely prepare written amendments to the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Loan in accordance with such approval or instructions, and shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain on a timely basis the signatures of the Borrower and/or other appropriate signatories to such Loan Documents or other documents; provided that, such amendments are not inconsistent with the terms of the Operative Documents (with the express understanding that to the extent that Servicer has any questions regarding such consistency, Servicer shall be entitled to refuse to prepare or execute such amendments until receipt of approval from the Participants pursuant to the Loan Facility Agreement). Within fifteen (15) days after obtaining such signatures, Servicer shall send Sponsor photocopies of the original fully executed documents. Servicer shall be entitled to charge Sponsor, or upon Sponsor’s written instructions, the applicable Borrower, reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and other expenses relating to the preparation of such amendments or other documents.

3.6

Actions by Servicer.

Unless a Credit Event has occurred and is continuing or the Sponsor has no further obligation pursuant to its guaranty set forth in the Loan Facility Agreement, Servicer shall at all times endeavor to comply with the requirements set forth in this Servicing Agreement and the Loan Facility Agreement, provided that Servicer shall not be required to take any action which it reasonably determines would expose Servicer to unreasonable risk of liability or which is contrary to applicable law or which is contrary to the terms of the Operative Documents.

4. SPONSOR’S AUDIT AND REPORTING OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO LINE OF CREDIT LOANS.

Each Loan Agreement for a Line of Credit shall authorize Servicer or representatives of Servicer, including Sponsor, to conduct periodic field audits of each Borrower. Unless otherwise instructed by Servicer, Sponsor hereby covenants and agrees with Servicer to audit each Borrower with a Line of Credit Commitment no less than once per each six month period and more frequently at the reasonable request of Servicer with respect to any such Borrower as to whom a Loan Default has occurred (whether or not waived by Sponsor). In conducting the field audits of the Borrowers with Line of Credit Commitments, Sponsor will examine the payment receipts, bank statements, loan statements, Lease Contracts, inventory on hand, computer-generated reports of Asset Dispositions, Rental Revenue and other financial data necessary to determine the accuracy and validity of the reports, compliance certificates, financial reports and other information forwarded to either of Servicer or Sponsor by such Borrowers in connection with the Franchisee Loans.

At the request of Servicer, within thirty (30) Business Days of the completion of each field audit, Sponsor shall forward to Servicer a written audit report detailing the scope of Sponsor’s audit, any discrepancies or other misstatements or misrepresentations of the relevant Borrower discovered in the course of the audit and containing a clear concise statement as to whether or not Sponsor believes that such Borrower is in compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and if not, the nature of any default known to Sponsor and the course of action planned by the Borrower to remedy

such default. The delivery of each field audit to Servicer by Sponsor shall constitute a representation and warranty by Sponsor that the information set forth therein is true and correct in all material respects to the best of Sponsor’s knowledge and that Servicer shall be authorized to rely on such information in continuing to make Advances to such Borrower.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Servicer, in its sole discretion, may (at Servicer’s expense, unless a Credit Event has occurred and is continuing and then at Sponsor’s expense) at any time and from time to time, undertake to perform an independent field audit of any or all of the Borrowers with Line of Credit Commitments (with such audit to be performed by officers or employees of Servicer or other persons retained by Servicer for such purpose). Sponsor shall cooperate fully with Servicer in connection with any such independent audit.
