Such Member has conducted its own independent review and analysis of the business, results of operations, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or assets of Burger Time, and acknowledges that it has been provided adequate access to the personnel, properties, assets, premises, books and records and other documents of Burger Time for such purpose.
