Section
2.4 Warm Back-Up Management Duties For
purposes of this Section 2.4, a “Warm Back-Up Management Trigger Event” shall mean the occurrence and continuation
of a Rapid Amortization Event that has occurred and is continuing that has not been waived by the Control Party (acting at the direction
of the Controlling Class Representative) or otherwise cured in accordance with the Indenture. Within two (2) Business Days of obtaining
Actual Knowledge of the occurrence and continuance of any Warm Back-Up Management Trigger Event, the Manager, the Securitization Entities,
the Back-Up Manager, the Control Party or the Trustee, as applicable, shall notify each other in writing of such occurrence. Upon receipt
of notice by the Back-Up Manager of such Warm Back-Up Management Trigger Event, the Back-Up Manager shall commence performance of the
following duties (collectively, the “Warm Back-Up Management Duties”) and will, within fifteen (15) days after receipt
of such written notice of such Warm Back-Up Management Trigger Event, have taken all steps reasonably necessary to enable it to provide
such duties:


 


(a)
performing an in-depth situation analysis of the Manager and its financial position and of the Collateral and the Securitization Entities,
based on information provided to the Back-Up Manager pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture. In connection with such
analysis, the Back-Up Manager shall analyze, inter alia, (1) the key drivers of historical performance, (2) the strategic business
plan for the Securitization Entities to determine weaknesses (if any) and viability, and (3) the causes of poor performance, including
pricing, cost structure and leverage;


 


(b)
generating revised projections (including cash forecasts, income statements and balance sheets) for the Securitization Entities and the
Collateral, which projections will be based on, inter alia, variance analyses and stress tests to sensitize forecasts and incorporate
changes to the models utilized in connection with the offering of the Notes (only to the extent provided to the Back-Up Manager);


 


(c)
to the degree relevant based upon the Back-Up Manager’s analysis of the situation and at the written direction of the Control Party,
identifying alternative suppliers and providers of services in connection with the Securitization Entities;


 


(d)
at the written direction of the Control Party, obtaining, at the Issuer’s cost, appraisals and valuations of the Collateral; and


 




    	7



     


    

 


(e)
developing a comprehensive transition plan (the “Transition Plan”) with the assistance and oversight of the Control
Party to prepare for a transition to a Successor Manager if the Manager is terminated following the occurrence of a Manager Termination
Event, pursuant to which the Back-Up Manager shall, based on the circumstances related to such Warm Back-Up Management Trigger Event:


 


(i)
in consultation with the Manager identify personnel then-employed by the Manager that could assist in the transfer of the Manager’s
duties and obligations, including the transfer of accounting, receivables, payables, finance, payroll and other financial services, to
a Successor Manager; and


 


(ii)
in consultation with the Manager identify and recommend individuals from the Manager’s existing management team, the Back-Up Manager’s
own organization and from other organizations that could perform obligations under this Agreement and the Management Agreement.


 


Any
Transition Plan may include, but is not limited to, a recommendation to either terminate the Manager’s position as Manager under
the Management Agreement or re-engage the Manager to serve as Manager under the Management Agreement. The Back-Up Manager will first
submit the Transition Plan to the Control Party for the approval of the Control Party, and to the extent such approval is not granted,
both the Back-Up Manager and the Control Party will continue to work in good faith to achieve such approval.


 


Under
no circumstances will the Transition Plan be finalized or implemented prior to (a) the approval of the Transition Plan by the initial
Control Party (or any appointed successor Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative) and (b) the occurrence of a Hot Back-Up
Management Trigger Event. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Control Party transition period is occurring, the Back-Up Manager will be
permitted to await the appointment of a successor Control Party (and acceptance of such role) before taking any action described in Section
2.4(e) for which it would otherwise receive direction from the Control Party or a Controlling Class Representative.


 


(f)
The Control Party, acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative, may waive performance of all or part of the Warm
Back-Up Management Duties upon written notice to each of the Back-Up Manager, the Trustee (which shall provide such notice to the Noteholders)
and the Issuer.


 


Section
2.5 Hot Back-Up Management Duties. For purposes of this Section 2.5, a “Hot Back-Up Management Trigger
Event” shall mean the occurrence and continuation of a Manager Termination Event that has not been waived by the Control Party
(at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative).


 




    	8



     


    

 


(a)
If a Hot Back-Up Management Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing, the Control Party (at the direction of the Controlling Class
Representative) may direct the Trustee to deliver a termination notice (a “Termination Notice”) to terminate the Manager
pursuant to Section 6.1(a) of the Management Agreement (with a copy to the Issuer and the Back-Up Manager). Delivery of a Termination
Notice from the Trustee to the Manager will not be required to terminate the Manager in respect of a Hot Back-Up Management Trigger Event
caused by a Manager Termination Event described in clauses (vi) or (vii) of the definition thereof, for which termination of the
Manager shall be automatic; provided, that, in the event that the Manager is terminated pursuant to Sections 6.1(a)(vi)
or (vii) of the Management Agreement (which events result in an automatic termination of the Manager without any requirement of
a grant of notice to the Manager) the Control Party shall still direct the Trustee to deliver a termination notice to each of the Manager,
the Issuer and the Back-Up Manager. Promptly following receipt of a copy of a Termination Notice, the Back-Up Manager shall perform the
following additional duties (collectively, the “Hot Back-Up Management Duties”):


 


(i)
the Warm Back-Up Management Duties (to the extent the Back-Up Manager has not yet performed or completed such duties as of the date of
the occurrence of such Hot Back-Up Management Trigger Event);


 


(ii)
finalize and implement the Transition Plan, and, if so requested by the Control Party in writing, assist the Control Party in identifying
one or more Persons other than the Back-Up Manager to act as Successor Manager, within ninety (90) calendar days following the occurrence
of such Hot Back-Up Management Trigger Event; and


 


(iii)
take over the management of the Securitization Entities and initiate reasonable steps necessary or advisable in connection with stabilizing
the condition of the Securitization Entities, pending the appointment of a Successor Manager, to: (A) exercise full inspection and audit
rights against the Securitization Entities and to protect the Collateral and the condition and value thereof, (B) restructure and re-negotiate
one or more Transaction Documents previously entered into by any Securitization Entity, (C) make and implement personnel decisions, (D)
hire external consultants and other qualified Persons to facilitate operations, and (E) assist the Control Party in connection with its
liquidation of the Collateral, to the extent allowed under the Transaction Documents or applicable Requirements of Law, if reasonably
necessary, subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions to such actions under the applicable Transaction Documents.


 


(b)
Until a Successor Manager is appointed by the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative), the Back-Up
Manager will serve as the Interim Successor Manager and will work with the Manager to implement a Transition Plan until a Successor Manager
(other than the Back-Up Manager) has been appointed. If the Back-Up Manager serves as the Interim Successor Manager or the Successor
Manager, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(c), the Back-Up Manager will act only in consultation with, and at the direction
of, the Control Party (and, if otherwise required under the Transaction Documents, the Securitization Entities). In such case, subject
to the provisions of Section 2.5(c), the Control Party shall be required to continue to work with the Back-Up Manager to implement
the Transition Plan until a Successor Manager (other than the Back-Up Manager) has been appointed by the Control Party (acting at the
direction of the Controlling Class Representative).


 




    	9



     


    

 


(c)
Notwithstanding the above, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Hot Back-Up Management Trigger Event, if a Control
Party transition period is occurring, the Back-Up Manager will be permitted to await the appointment of a successor Control Party (and
acceptance of such role) before taking any action described in Section 2.5(b) for which it would otherwise receive direction from
the Control Party or a Controlling Class Representative.


 


Section
2.6 Cooperation. The Securitization Entities and the Manager agree to fully and promptly cooperate with all reasonable
requests of the Back-Up Manager in connection with the performance by the Back-Up Manager of its obligations under the Transaction
Documents (including in connection with a Consent Request, as well as in connection with any duty by the Back-Up Manager to obtain
an appraisal of the Collateral, or perform an in-depth situation analysis of the Manager and its financial position and/or of the
Collateral and/or the Securitization Entities during a Warm Back-Up Management Trigger Event or a Hot Back-Up Management Trigger
Event, as applicable).

INFORMATION


 


Section
3.1 Information Provided by Manager. Upon request, the Manager will provide the Back-Up Manager with the certificates and
reports listed in Section 2.3(a) (which may be provided by accessing the Trustee’s or the Manager’s password-protected

produce. The Manager shall also provide the Back-Up Manager with (x) any amendments to any Transaction Documents and (y) copies of all

and agents for all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees, liabilities, obligations, damages, actions, suits, and
related costs and judgments and other costs, fees and reasonable expenses that any of them may incur as a result of: (i) the material
breach by the Back-Up Manager of any representation, warranty or covenant under this Agreement or (ii) the Back-Up Manager’s gross
negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or fraudulent behavior in the performance of its duties under this Agreement; provided,
that the Back-Up Manager will have no obligation of indemnity to any such party to the extent any such claims, losses, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, legal fees, liabilities, obligations, damages, actions, suits, and related costs and judgments and other costs, fees and
reasonable expenses are caused by such party’s gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or fraudulent behavior.


 


(b)
Except as set forth in clause (a) above, neither the Back-Up Manager nor any of its members, officers, directors, managers, employees
or agents (collectively, the “Back-Up Manager Indemnified Parties”) shall be under any liability to the Securitization
Entities, the Manager, the Control Party, the Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee, or the Noteholders for any action taken,
or not taken, by the Back-Up Manager in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for any action taken, or not taken by Back-Up Manager
in good faith pursuant to this Agreement due to the Manager or any other party (including the Control Party) failing to comply with the
terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents (including but not limited to the Management Agreement, the Control Party Agreement
and this Agreement) after reasonable request therefor (it being understood that such a reasonable request shall not be construed to require
the Back-Up Manager to affirmatively take any legal, administrative, judicial or other action to enforce the provisions of the Transaction
Documents), or for errors in judgment made in good faith by the Back-Up Manager unless it is proven that the Back-Up Manager was grossly
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Back-Up Manager
Indemnified Parties against liability for any material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by the Back-Up Manager herein,
or against any expense or liability specifically required to be borne thereby by the Back-Up Manager without right of reimbursement pursuant
to the terms hereof, or against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct
or fraudulent behavior in the performance of the Back-Up Manager’s obligations or duties hereunder or by reason of the Back-Up
Manager’s grossly negligent disregard of such obligations or duties. The Back-Up Manager Indemnified Parties may rely in good faith

(i) specifically required to be borne by the Back-Up Manager pursuant to the terms hereof or otherwise incidental to the performance
of its obligations and duties under this Agreement without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms thereof; or (ii) that was incurred
in connection with claims against the Back-Up Manager resulting from (A) any material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant
made herein by the Back-Up Manager or (B) the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or fraudulent behavior of the Back-Up Manager.

(d)
The Back-Up Manager shall not be under any obligation under this Agreement to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless
such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and in its opinion does not involve it in any ultimate expense or
liability; provided, however, that the Back-Up Manager may, in its discretion, undertake any such action which it may reasonably
deem necessary or desirable with respect to the enforcement and/or protection of its rights and duties. In such event, the reasonable
legal expenses and costs of such action, and any liability resulting therefrom, shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Securitization
Entities (except to the extent contemplated by clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 4.4(c)) and the Back-Up Manager shall be entitled
to the direct payment of such expense, or to be reimbursed therefor. All indemnities and reimbursements payable to the Back-Up Manager
Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be payable out of funds on deposit in the Collection Account in accordance

provided in Section 4.4(d), at its own expense if it is acting solely on its own behalf and not on behalf of or for the benefit
of the Noteholders, consult with counsel, accountants and other professionals or experts selected and monitored by the Back-Up Manager
in good faith and in the absence of gross negligence, and the Back-Up 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 counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts.


 


(f)
No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Back-Up Manager under this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against any partner, owner,
beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Back-Up Manager, in its individual capacity, any holder of equity in
the Back-Up Manager or in any successor or assign of the Back-Up Manager in its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have
expressly agreed in writing.


 


(g)
In no event will the Back-Up Manager or any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Back-Up Manager
be held liable for any exemplary, punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages of any kind resulting from any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them under this Agreement. Additionally, the Back-Up Manager will not be liable for any claims, losses,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees, liabilities, obligations, damages, actions suits and related costs and judgments and other
costs, fees and reasonable expenses, suffered by any party to any of the Transaction Documents arising out of or caused by any delay
in, or failure of, performance by the Back-Up Manager, in whole or in part, arising out of, or caused by, circumstances beyond the Back-Up

(h)
Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Transaction Document to the contrary, (a) if the Manager fails to fulfill any of its duties
or obligations (including, but not limited to, providing the Back-Up Manager with reasonably requested information or access to management
team members on a timely basis) or fails to otherwise cooperate with the Back-Up Manager, as required under any of the Transaction Documents,
in all cases, as determined by the Back-Up Manager in its sole discretion, then to the extent such failure results in the Back-Up Manager
not being able to fulfill any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Back-Up Manager
will have no obligation to perform such duties or obligations and (b) if the Manager fails to fulfill any of its services or duties required
pursuant to the Management Agreement or any other Transaction Document (including but not limited to the provision of disentanglement
services), the Back-Up Manager shall have no duty or obligation to provide such services or duties (including as Interim Successor Manager
or Successor Manager), and, in the cases of clauses (a) and (b), the Back-Up Manager will have no liability for such action or inaction
in connection therewith.


 


(i)
Following the termination or resignation of the Back-Up Manager pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2 of this Agreement, the Back-Up
Manager is entitled to receive all accrued and unpaid Back-Up Manager Fees and Back-Up Manager Consent Consultation Fees and any unpaid

is entitled to payment thereof) and the Securitization Entities shall pay all such amounts to the Back-Up Manager in accordance with
the Priority of Payments promptly following the termination or resignation of the Back-Up Manager.

of the Back-Up Manager or the by-laws of the Back-Up Manager, (ii) violate or result in a breach of any material contract to which the
Back-Up Manager is a party or (iii) violate any law to which the Back-Up Manager is subject, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and

Section
5.3 Right to Receive Instructions. In the event that the Back-Up Manager is unable to decide between alternative courses
of action, or is unsure as to the application of any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or any such provision is,
in the good faith judgment of the Back-Up 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 or any Transaction Document permits any determination by the Back-Up Manager
or is silent or is incomplete as to the course of action that the Back-Up Manager is required to take with respect to a particular set
of facts, the Back-Up Manager may give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances and as permitted by the terms
of this Agreement) to the Control Party requesting instructions in accordance with the Base Indenture and, to the extent that the Back-Up
Manager shall have acted or refrained from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instructions received from the Control Party,

appropriate under the circumstances as may be specified in such notice) the Back-Up 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 Back-Up Manager shall deem
to be in the best interests of the Noteholders and the Securitization Entities. The Back-Up Manager shall have no liability to any Person

relationship between any Securitization Entity, the Trustee, the Manager, the Control Party or the Controlling Class Representative and
the Back-Up Manager other than the independent contractor contractual relationship established hereby. The Back-Up Manager shall not
be, nor shall be deemed to be, liable for any acts or obligations of the Securitization Entities, the Manager, the Control Party, the
Controlling Class Representative or the Trustee and, without limiting the foregoing, the Back-Up Manager shall not be liable under or
in connection with the Notes.


 


Section
5.5 Intellectual Property. In the event that Back-Up Manager becomes the Successor Manager or Interim Successor Manager, the
parties agree that the license to Manager of Securitization IP in connection with performing the Services, as set forth in the
Management Agreement, shall apply, in the same way it applies to the Manager, to Back-Up Manager’s use of

(a)
The Back-Up Manager acknowledges that during the term of this Agreement it may receive Confidential Information from any Non-Securitization
Entity, the Securitization Entities and the Manager. The Back-Up Manager agrees to maintain the Confidential Information in the strictest
of confidence and will not, at any time, use, disseminate or disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity other than
those of its employees or representatives who have a “need to know” and who have been apprised of this restriction
except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Back-Up Manager shall be liable for any breach of this Article 6 by any of
its employees or any action, or use or disclosure of Confidential Information by any of its representatives which would have constituted
a breach of this Article 6 had such representative been a party hereto and shall immediately notify the Manager in the event of
any loss or disclosure of any Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is already known
to the Back-Up Manager without restriction on use or disclosure prior to receipt of such information from any Non-Securitization Entity,
a Securitization Entity or the Manager; (ii) is or becomes part of the public domain other than by breach of this Agreement by, or other
wrongful act of, the Back-Up Manager or its employees or representatives; (iii) is developed by the Back-Up Manager independently of

obligation to any Non-Securitization Entity, the Securitization Entities or the Manager to maintain the confidentiality of such information,

that the Back-Up Manager promptly notifies the Issuer and the Manager of such requirement and reasonably cooperates with the Issuer and
the Manager to minimize the extent of such disclosure or (vi) is required to be disclosed to any Person in connection with the enforcement
of rights of the parties to this Agreement. The duties hereunder shall survive termination of this Agreement and (A) for trade secret
information, shall continue for as long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable law, and (B) for all other Confidential
Information, shall continue for three years after the term of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1.


 


(b)
All books, records, documents, papers or other materials relating to any Non-Securitization Entity’s, the Securitization Entities’
or the Manager’s business, Intellectual Property, customers, suppliers, distributors, franchisees, products or projects received
by the Back-Up Manager containing Confidential Information or other proprietary information or trade secrets of any Non-Securitization
Entity, any Securitization Entity or the Manager, including any copies thereof shall at all times be and remain the property of the applicable
Non-Securitization Entity, Securitization Entity or the Manager, as the case may be, and shall be destroyed or returned immediately to
the applicable Non-Securitization Entity, Securitization Entity or the Manager, as the case may be, upon termination of this Agreement,
or earlier at the request of the applicable Non-Securitization Entity, Securitization Entity or the Manager; provided, however,
that the Back-Up Manager may retain such limited media and materials containing Confidential Information for customary archival and audit
purposes (including with respect to regulatory compliance) only for reference with respect to the prior dealings between the parties
and subject to the confidentiality terms of this Agreement. To the extent the Back-Up Manager is required to return or destroy materials
containing the Non-Securitization Entities’, Securitization Entities’ or the Manager’s Confidential Information as
described in this Section 6.1(b), the Back-Up Manager shall provide a certificate of an authorized employee attesting to the return
and/or destruction of such materials upon request.

(c)
Nothing in this Article 6 shall be construed as preventing any Non-Securitization Entity, all of which shall be third-party beneficiaries
of the rights arising under this Article 6, as applicable, the Securitization Entities, the Manager or the Trustee from pursuing
any and all remedies available to it for the breach or threatened breach of covenants made in this Article 6, including, except
as otherwise set forth in Section 4.4(g), recovery of money damages or temporary or permanent injunctive relief.


 


(d)
It is understood that nothing in this Agreement is intended to preclude the Back-Up Manager or its affiliates from engaging in related
types of consulting work with other firms or organizations, whether in a related business or otherwise; provided that reasonable
and proper professional safeguards are maintained to ensure that Confidential Information is not made available to such other firms or
organizations.

MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS


 


Section
7.1 Term; Termination of Agreement. The duties and obligations of the Back-Up Manager under this Agreement shall continue
for a period of seven (7) years from the date hereof, and will automatically renew for one (1) year periods on each anniversary, unless
this Agreement is earlier terminated by the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Control Party at any time, by providing five (5)
days’ prior written notice thereof to the Manager, the Back-Up Manager, the Issuer and the Control Party. This Agreement will also
terminate upon (a) the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Article 12 of the Base Indenture, (b) the assumption

Back-Up Manager could take to make the performance of its duties under this Agreement permissible under applicable Requirements of Law.
Any such determination above requiring the Back-Up Manager’s resignation will be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect,
delivered to the Trustee, the Control Party, the Issuer and the Manager. In addition, the Back-Up Manager will be permitted to resign
if either:


 




    	19



     


    

 


(i)
the Back-Up Manager Fee due and owing to the Back-Up Manager remains unpaid for more than sixty (60) days after it becomes due and payable
pursuant to an invoice for Back-Up Manager Fees that has been delivered pursuant to the notification methods specified in Section
7.8; or


 


(ii)
the Issuer intends to issue a new Series of Notes after the Closing Date (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Notes issued on the
Closing Date) and the Back-Up Manager chooses, in its sole discretion, to resign as Back-Up Manager by providing written notice of its
decision to the Issuer within 15 Business Days of the earliest of receipt by the Back-Up Manager, of (A) written notice from the Issuer
of such intent to issue a new Series of Notes, (B) written invitation to an initial organizational call for such issuance of a new Series
of Notes (or subsequent organizational call related thereto) or (C) a draft copy of an offering memorandum or other transaction document
in connection with such issuance of a new Series of Notes. If the Back-Up Manager resigns as set forth in this subsection (ii), and thus
does not consent to continue its obligations under this Agreement, such termination shall be effective on the date of such new issuance.


 


Section
7.3 Amendment. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or waived from time to time by a writing signed by the parties
hereto; provided that no consent of the Trustee or the Control Party will be required in connection with any amendment, modification,
supplement or waiver thereto expressly permitted under the terms of the Indenture. In addition to the foregoing, no Transaction Document
may be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Back-Up Manager if such amendment, modification or waiver would adversely
affect the Back-Up Manager’s rights, duties, indemnifications or immunities under this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Transaction
Document. Any amendment or modification effected contrary to the provisions of this Section 7.3 shall be null and void. Unless
otherwise specified in such waiver, a waiver of any right under this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which it is given. No election not to exercise, failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, nor any
course of dealing or performance, shall operate as a waiver of any right under this Agreement or applicable law, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other for further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right under this Agreement
or applicable law.


 


Section
7.4 Successors and Assigns; Additional Securitization Entities. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that the Back-Up
Manager may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Issuer, the Manager,
and the Control Party. Any Affiliate of the FAT Brands that becomes a Securitization Entity may become a party to this Agreement by entering
into a written addendum pursuant to which such Affiliate agrees to all of the provisions of this Agreement and to assume all of the rights,
duties and obligations of a Securitization Entity hereunder.

(d)

and the other Transaction Documents.

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
7.12 Binding Effect; Limited Rights of Others. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto. Except as provided in the preceding sentence and in Section 6.1(c),
Section 7.4 and Section 7.6, nothing in this Agreement expressed or implied, shall be construed to give any Person other
than the parties hereto any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any covenants, agreements,
representations or provisions contained herein.


 


Section
7.13 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
7.14 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures and Transmission. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts
(including by facsimile or other electronic means of communication), each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. 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), 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 Back-Up Manager 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 Back-Up Manager 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 Back-Up Manager, including, without limitation, the risk of the Back-Up Manager 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 Back-Up Manager). 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.
The recipient of the Electronic Transmission may be required to complete a one-time registration process.


 


Section
7.15 Survival. The provisions of Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 6.1, 7.5, 7.7 and
this Section 7.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
