(e) At each Call Closing, Seller shall, or shall cause HoldCo to, (i) deliver to FAT Brands instrument(s) of transfer, in customary form, sufficient to transfer the applicable Notes to FAT Brands free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens arising under applicable securities Laws, (ii) execute and deliver to FAT Brands a certificate in customary form containing only customary representations and warranties with respect to title to, and ownership of, the applicable Notes, authorization, execution and delivery of relevant documents and enforceability of such documents and (iii) execute such other customary certificates and documents and take such other customary actions as may be reasonably requested by FAT Brands to consummate such transactions.
