The Manager is hereby authorized by each Securitization Entity, and hereby agrees, to continue 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 IP Holder 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 IP Holder. The Manager, on behalf of each 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 applicable 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, including Section 2.8, the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents, 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, including, without limitation, consents to sales, transfers or encumbrances of a franchise by any Restaurant Operator or consents to assignments and assumptions of the Franchise Arrangements by any Restaurant Operator in accordance with the terms thereof. 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 any of the Securitization Entities from performing the Services or any other act on their own behalf at any time and from time to time.

13

(b) Actions to Create and Perfect Security Interests. Subject to the terms of the Base 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 and the exclusions from perfection requirements under the Transaction Documents) of the Trustee’s Lien in the Collateral to the extent required by the Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. 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, assignments of financing statements on Form UCC-3, any filings related to the Securitization IP as set forth in Section 8.25 of the Base Indenture and other filings required to be filed in connection with the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents.

(c) Ownership of Manager-Developed IP. 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 IP Holder. 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 IP Holder. 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 IP Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager-Developed IP to be transferred to IP Holder 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 IP Holder. All applications to register Manager-Developed IP shall be filed in the name of IP Holder.

14

The Manager agrees to cooperate in good faith with IP Holder for the purpose of securing and preserving IP Holder’s rights in and to the applicable Manager-Developed IP, including executing any documents and taking any actions, at IP Holder’s reasonable request, or as deemed necessary or advisable by the Manager, to confirm, file and record in any appropriate registry IP Holder’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 IP Holder. The Manager hereby appoints IP Holder 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 IP Holder’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, each of the Securitization Entities executed and delivered on May 11, 2016 a Power of Attorney in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit A-1 (with respect to IP Holder) and Exhibit A-2 (with respect to the other Securitization Entities) 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.

Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Base Indenture, the Manager shall not commingle any monies that relate to Managed Assets with its own assets and shall keep separate, segregated and appropriately marked and identified all Managed Assets and any other property comprising any part of the Collateral, and for such time, if any, as such Managed Assets or such other property are in the possession or control of the Manager to the extent such Managed Assets or such other property is Collateral, the Manager shall hold the same in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and the Secured Parties (or, following termination of the Indenture, the applicable Securitization Entity). Additionally, the Manager, promptly after obtaining Actual Knowledge thereof, shall notify the Trustee in the Weekly Manager’s Certificate of any amounts incorrectly deposited into any Indenture Trust Account and arrange for the prompt remittance by the Trustee of such funds from the applicable Indenture Trust Account to the Manager.

The Manager will be permitted to elect to waive or defer the payment of Weekly Management Fees for any period in its sole discretion as set forth in the related Weekly Manager’s Certificate, and in the case of any waiver thereof, to agree with the Issuer that any amount so waived may be recouped by the Manager from future available Residual Amounts, in which case any amount so recouped, for the avoidance of doubt, will not be considered “Weekly Management Fees” for purposes of the calculation of Net Cash Flow; provided further, that, following the Series 2021-1 Closing Date the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, from time to time elect to waive the Weekly Management Fee.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, following the 2021 Springing Amendments Implementation Date, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Weekly Management Fee may be amended, at the sole discretion of the Issuer, upon written notification by the Issuer to the Trustee and the Control Party, following the effectiveness of such amendment; provided, that in connection with such notification (i) the Issuer (or the Manager acting on its behalf) certifies to the Trustee and the Control Party that a copy of such amendment was provided to the Back-Up Manager on or prior to the effectiveness of such amendment, (ii) after delivering such written notification, the Issuer will disclose the then-applicable formula in subsequent Quarterly Noteholders’ Reports and (iii) after delivering such written notification, the Issuer (or the Manager acting on its behalf) delivers written confirmation to the Trustee and the Control Party that the Rating Agency Condition with respect to each Series of Notes Outstanding has been satisfied with respect to such new formula.

In the case of the Independent Auditors, the report will also indicate that the firm is independent of the Manager within the meaning of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (each, an “Annual Accountants’ Report”). In the event such Independent Auditors require the Trustee to agree to the procedures to be performed by such firm in any of the reports required to be prepared pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Manager shall direct the Trustee in writing to so agree as to the procedures described therein; it being understood and agreed that the Trustee shall deliver such letter of agreement (which shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee) in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Manager, and the Trustee has not made any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.

THE MANAGER

(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 California, (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, in each case, (i) pursuant to the Indenture and the other Transaction Documents or (ii) 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, taken as a whole, or any of the Securitization Entities.

25

(c) Consents. Except (i) for filings and/or 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, taken as a whole, or any of 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 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 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 which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Manager, the Collateral, taken as a whole, or any of 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, taken as a whole, or any of 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, taken as a whole; 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 material 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 proceedings and with respect to which reserves in accordance with GAAP, to the extent required, have been provided on the books of the Manager).

26

(i) Accuracy of Information. No written report, financial statements, certificate or other information furnished (other than projections, budgets, other estimates and general market, industry and economic data) to the Servicer 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 Servicer), 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 Series 2021-1 Closing Date, the consolidated balance sheet of YBI included in the Offering Memorandum reported on and accompanied by a report from the Independent Auditors, presents fairly in all material respects the financial condition of YBI as of such date. Such financial statement, including the related schedules and notes thereto, has been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except as otherwise stated therein).

(k) No Material Adverse Change. Since the Series 2021-1 Closing Date, 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, taken as a whole.

(l) ERISA. During the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan, no ERISA Event has occurred which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Manager nor any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement medical benefits under a Welfare Plan, other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA or other applicable similar continuation of coverage laws. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) no Multiemployer Plan is insolvent (as defined in Section 4245 of ERISA) and (ii) no non-exempt prohibited transaction (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) has occurred involving any Employee Benefit Plan.

(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 TRANSACTION 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.

28

(b) Special Provisions as to Securitization IP. The Manager acknowledges and agrees that IP Holder has the right and duty to control the quality of the goods and services offered under IP Holder’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 IP Holder with respect to: (A) the promulgation of standards with respect to the operation of the 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 IP Holder 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 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 Taco Bell Brand which were not in use on the Series 2016-1 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. IP Holder 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 IP Holder, at its written request from time to time, with copies of Franchise Documents and other sublicenses, samples of products and materials bearing the Trademarks included in the Securitization IP used by Franchisees and other licensees and sublicensees. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit IP Holder’s rights or the licensees’ obligations under the IP License Agreements or any other agreement with respect to which the Manager is performing IP Services.

(d) IP Holder hereby grants to the Manager a non-exclusive, royalty-free sublicensable license to use the Securitization IP in connection with the performance of the Services under this Agreement, including a license to modify and develop Securitization IP consistent with the Managing Standard. In connection with the Manager’s or any Sub-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.

(e) License from Manager and Sub-manager to IP Holder. The Manager and each Sub-manager hereby grant IP Holder and any Successor Manager (or any Interim Successor Manager, as the case may be) a perpetual, non- exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, worldwide right and license to use any proprietary software owned by the Manager or such Sub-manager, as applicable, for use in connection with operation of the Branded Restaurants.

(f) Right to Receive Instructions. Without limiting the Manager’s obligations under Section 4.4(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 (10) Business 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 each of 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, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

29

(g) Limitation on Manager’s Duties and Responsibilities. 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 such 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 and not related to the ownership or administration of the Managed Assets or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. 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.

(h) Dealing with Collateral. 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.

(i) Limitations on the Manager’s Liabilities, Duties and Responsibilities. Subject to Section 2.7 and except for any loss, liability, expense, damage, action, suit or injury arising out of, or resulting from, (i) the breach by the Manager of any representation, warranty or covenant made by it herein or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party in its capacity as Manager or (ii) acts or omissions constituting the Manager’s own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party in its capacity as Manager, 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, without limitation:

(1) for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Manager in good faith in accordance with the instructions of the Trustee or the Control Party;

30

(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;

(4) for any action or inaction of the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager or the Servicer 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 Servicer; and

(5) for any error of judgment made in good faith that does not violate the Managing Standard.

(j) No Financial Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no provision of this Agreement (other than Section 2.7, 4.4(g) and 4.4(k)) 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 Weekly Management Fees and is otherwise not reasonably assured or provided to the Manager. The Manager shall not be liable under the Notes and shall not be responsible for any amounts required to be paid by the Issuer under or pursuant to the Indenture.

(k) 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.

(l) 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 gross 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.

31

(m) Independent Contractor. In performing its obligations as manager hereunder the Manager acts solely as an independent contractor of each of the Securitization Entities, except to the extent the Manager is deemed to be an agent of any of the Securitization Entities by virtue of engaging in franchise sales activities, as a broker, or receiving payments on behalf of each 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 any of 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, or ownership or property interest in, any of the Securitization IP. Except as otherwise expressly 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 Servicer.

| Section 4.5 | 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 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 been appointed by the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) and 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, the Servicer and the Rating Agency 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. Except as provided above in this Section 4.5 the Manager may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder.

All services relating to Disentanglement and Continuity of Services (collectively, the “Disentanglement Services”), including all reasonable training for personnel of the Back-Up Manager, the Interim Successor Manager or the Successor Manager’s designated alternate service provider in the performance of the Services, shall be deemed a part of the Services to be performed by the Manager.

(ii) procure any third party authorizations necessary to grant the Successor Manager or Interim Successor Manager, as the case may be, (or such Successor Manager’s or Interim Successor Manager’s designated alternate service provider) the use and benefit of such Sub-management 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.

If the Control Party elects to terminate such Sub-management 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-management to the Successor Manager or Interim Successor Manager, as the case may be, or to any alternate service provider designated by the Control Party, without material interruption or adverse impact on the provision of Services.

Article VII

CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 7.1 Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that during the Term 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, Affiliates or representatives (including legal counsel and accountants) who have a “need to know” and who have been apprised of this restriction or (ii) 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.

43

(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:

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

to any such Person or entity in connection with any judicial or regulatory proceeding, Recipient shall (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 shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required.

(a) This Agreement may only be amended, from time to time, in writing, upon the written consent of the Trustee (acting at the direction of the Control Party), the Securitization Entities and the Manager; provided that any amendment that would materially adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders shall require the consent of the Control Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, further, that no consent of the Trustee or the Control Party shall be required in connection with any amendment to accomplish any of the following:

(i) to correct or amplify the description of any required activities of the Manager;

44

(ii) to add to the duties or covenants of the Manager for the benefit of any Noteholders or any other Secured Parties, or to add provisions to this Agreement so long as such action does not modify the Managing Standard, materially adversely affect the enforceability of the Securitization IP (taken as a whole), or materially adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders;

(iii) to correct any manifest error or to cure any ambiguity, defect or provision that may be inconsistent with the terms of the Base Indenture or any other Transaction Document, or to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be inconsistent with the terms of the Base Indenture or any offering memorandum for the Notes;

(c) Any such amendment or modification effected contrary to the provisions of this Section 8.3 shall be null and void.

The Issuer and the Trustee each agree not to amend the Indenture or the Transaction Documents to which it is a party without the Manager’s consent if such amendment would materially increase the Manager’s obligations or liabilities, or materially decrease the Manager’s rights or remedies under this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Transaction Document.

Section 8.4 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CHOICE OF LAW RULES (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

Section 8.6 Acknowledgement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Manager hereby acknowledges that, as of the Series 2016-1 Closing Date, each of the Securitization Entities pledged to the Trustee under the Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, as applicable, all of such Securitization Entity’s right and title to, and interest in, this Agreement and the Collateral, and such pledge included all of such Securitization Entity’s rights, remedies, powers and privileges, and all claims of such Securitization Entity against the Manager, under or with respect to this Agreement (whether arising pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise available at law or in equity), including (i) the rights of such Securitization Entity and the obligations of the Manager hereunder and (ii) the right, at any time, to give or withhold consents, requests, notices, directions, approvals, demands, extensions or waivers under or with respect to this Agreement or the obligations in respect of the Manager hereunder to the same extent as such Securitization Entity may do. The Manager hereby consents to continuing and maintaining such pledges described above, acknowledges and agrees that (x) the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative shall be third-party beneficiaries of the rights of such Securitization Entity arising hereunder and (y) during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative may, to the extent provided in the Indenture and the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, enforce the provisions of this Agreement, exercise the rights of such Securitization Entity and enforce the obligations of the Manager hereunder without the consent of such Securitization Entity.

Section 8.7 Severability of Provisions. If one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for any reason whatever held invalid or unenforceable, such provisions shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements and provisions of this Agreement and such invalidity or unenforceability shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of such remaining provisions, or the rights of any parties hereto. To the extent permitted by law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law that renders any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable in any respect.

Section 8.8 Delivery Dates. If the due date of any notice, certificate or report required to be delivered by the Manager hereunder falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such notice, certificate or report shall be automatically extended to the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.

Section 8.9 Limited Recourse. The obligations of each of the Securitization Entities under this Agreement are solely the limited liability company obligations of such Securitization Entity. The Manager agrees that each of the Securitization Entities shall be liable for any claims that it may have against such Securitization Entity only to the extent that funds or assets are available to pay such claims pursuant to the Indenture and that, to the extent that any such claims remain unpaid after the application of such funds and assets in accordance with the Indenture, such claims shall be extinguished.

46

Section 8.10 Binding Effect; Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto. Any assignment of this Agreement without the written consent of the Control Party shall be null and void. Each of the Back-Up Manager and the Servicer (in its capacities as Control Party and Servicer) is an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement and may enforce the Agreement as though a party hereto to the extent provided in Section 8.6. The Control Party and the Controlling Class Representative are third party beneficiaries to the extent set forth in Section 8.6.

Section 8.11 Article and Section Headings. The Article and Section headings herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Section 8.12 Concerning the Trustee. In acting under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be afforded the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the Indenture as if fully set forth herein.

Section 8.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by email or facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original, and all of which together constitute one and the same instrument. For purposes of this Agreement, any reference to "written" or "in writing" means any form of written communication, including, without limitation, electronic signatures, and any such written communication may be transmitted by Electronic Transmission. "Electronic Transmission" means any form of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, including the use of, or participation in, one or more electronic networks or databases (including one or more distributed electronic networks or databases (including, without limitation, Orbit, DocuSign and AdobeSign)), that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process. The Trustee is authorized to accept written instructions, 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. The recipient of the Electronic Transmission will be required to complete a one-time registration process.

The parties hereto each hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection each may now or hereafter have, to remove any such action or proceeding, once commenced, to another court on the grounds of forum non conveniens or otherwise.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.5. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 8.16 Joinder of Future Securitization Entities.

(a) In the event that the Issuer, or the Manager on its behalf, shall form a Future Securitization Entity pursuant to Section 8.30 of the Base Indenture, such Future Securitization Entity shall execute and deliver to the Manager and the Trustee (with a copy to the Back-Up Manager) (i) a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B and (ii) Power of Attorney(s) in the form of Exhibit A-1 (in the case of any Future Securitization Entity that holds any Securitization IP) and Exhibit A-2 (in the case of any Future Securitization Entity that does not hold any Securitization IP), and such New Securitization Entity shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights, benefits and obligations as a Securitization Entity party hereto on the Series 2021-1 Closing Date.

48

Section 8.17 Amendment and Restatement. The parties hereto agree in each of their respective capacities under the Original Management Agreement and this Agreement that (i) this Agreement amends, restates and supersedes the Original Management Agreement in its entirety, which is superseded in its entirety by this Agreement and shall be of no further force or effect except as amended and restated hereby and (ii) from and after the date hereof, all references in each Transaction Document to the Original Management Agreement or the “Management Agreement” shall be deemed and agreed to refer to this Agreement.
