Note and other Loan Documents or (ii) for validity, perfection or maintenance of
the pledge, lien and security interest created hereby.

3.7. TITLE TO THE COLLATERAL. The Borrower has and, subject to
Section 4, will maintain good and marketable title to the Collateral, free of

(including any award, injunction, order) filed with, registered, indexed or
recorded in any public office, court, arbitration panel, administrative agency
or regulatory authority (or intended so to be), directly or indirectly,
identifying or encumbering or covering or involving the Collateral or which
could have a material adverse effect on the Borrower, the Pledged Store or the
Borrower's ability to perform its Obligations. All Liens listed on SCHEDULE 3
shall be removed upon funding of the Loan unless such lien is specifically
identified as a Permitted Lien. Other than the security interest granted to the
Secured Party hereunder and the Permitted Liens, and except as provided in
Section 4 hereof the Borrower has not and, without the prior written consent of
the Secured Party, will not enter into any agreement or understanding or take,
permit or suffer to exist any action (including the filing of a financing

(whether by operation of law or otherwise) for the purpose of or that may have

Indebtedness or value secured by the Permitted Liens, if any, or the amount,
property or assets encumbered thereby.
3.9. MAINTENANCE OF COLLATERAL AND BUSINESS. The Equipment and
Inventory are located at the Pledged Store. At the Borrower's sole cost and
expense, the Borrower shall continue to (i) keep, use, operate and maintain the
Collateral, the Pledged Store, the Business and the Property in accordance with
the Franchise Agreement and/or License and applicable laws, rules, and
regulations in all material respects, (ii) operate the Pledged Store at the

therein may be lessened in any material respect. The Borrower shall notify the
Secured Party promptly of any actual or threatened destruction or material
damage or impairment of the Pledged Store, the Collateral or the Property or if
Borrower receives a notice of violation from any governmental entity or agency.
Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Borrower may, without Secured
Party's prior consent but with prior written notice to Secured Party, cease
business operations at the Pledged Store on a temporary basis in order to
remodel the Pledged Store or otherwise comply with the requirements of the
Franchise Agreement or applicable law. In addition, Borrower may, with Secured
Party's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, substitute a restaurant of approximately equal value for the Pledged
Store, in which event Secured Party shall release the Lien against the Pledged
Store. For purposes hereof, a restaurant (the "SUBSTITUTE STORE") shall not be
considered to be of equal value to the Pledged Store to be replaced (the
"REPLACED STORE"), unless (i) the Substitute Store is subject to a Franchise
Agreement, (ii) the lease agreement for the Substitute Store is of equivalent
duration and rental rate to the Replaced Store, (iii) Borrower shall have
obtained landlord estoppels and such security documents pledging the Substitute
Store (including leasehold mortgages and financing statements) in form

ARBY'S/DALLAS, TEXAS
satisfactory to Secured Party, (iv) neither Secured Party nor its Affiliates may
operate any business at the Replaced Store after the date the Lien with respect
to such Replaced Store is released, (v) the Loan with respect to the Replaced
Store shall not exceed seventy percent (70.0%) of the value of such Substitute
Store, based on a current appraisal performed by such appraisal firm regularly
employed by Secured Party, (vi) the Substitute Store had Unit FCCR for the
twelve (12) month period preceding the date of substitution of at least 1.25 to
1.00, and (vii) the Replaced Store had Unit FCCR for the twelve (12) month
period preceding the date of substitution of less than 1.25 to 1.00. Borrower
shall pay all appraisal, legal and other reasonable expenses incurred by Secured
Party hereunder.
3.10. PERFECTED SECURITY INTEREST. This Security Agreement and the
grant and transfer of the Collateral hereunder creates a valid and enforceable
security interest in the Collateral. Upon filing of the Financing Statements in
the locations set forth on SCHEDULE 2 hereto, such security interest will be
perfected and subject to no prior or equal security interest other than and only
to the extent of the Permitted Liens. The execution and filing of the Financing
Statements has been duly authorized by all appropriate action on the part of the
Borrower (and any other Person named as debtor therein) and the Borrower (and
any other Person named as debtor therein) has duly executed the Financing
Statements.
3.11. NO VIOLATION; INDEMNITY. The Borrower has not and shall not
acquire, obtain, make, manufacture, produce, operate, hold, possess, maintain,
use, sell, transfer, grant, pledge, or dispose of (for purposes of this Section
3.11, collectively "the Borrower's use") any of its Business, (including any
proceeds of the Loan, the Collateral and the Property) in violation of any
statute, law, rule, ordinance, regulation, policy, procedure, injunction, award,
decree, judgment, contract, agreement (including the Franchise Agreement, if
applicable), understanding, or right or interest of any other Person (for
purposes of this Section 3.11, each such event a "violation"), and to the
Borrower's knowledge no such violation has been made by any other Person and no
basis for a claim of any such violation exists.
3.12. FRANCHISE AGREEMENT.
(a) The Borrower, if a franchisee or franchisor under a
Franchise Agreement, is and will continue to be in good standing under such
Franchise Agreement in all material respects. The termination date of such
Franchise Agreement is scheduled to occur after the maturity date of the
Promissory Note. The Borrower, if a franchisee or franchisor under a Franchise
Agreement, has not breached and is not in default under the Franchise Agreement
in any material respect; the Borrower shall not terminate, fail to renew, breach
or be in default under the Franchise Agreement in any material respect; and the
Borrower has no knowledge of any claim of (or basis for any claim of) any such
termination, non-renewal, material breach or default. The Borrower agrees to
fully comply, at the Borrower's own cost and expense, with the terms of the
License and the Franchise Agreement (including any renewal option) in all
material respects and to promptly notify the Secured Party of any material
adverse development with regard to the Franchise Agreement or the License,
including any claim of a material breach of or default under, or threat of
non-renewal or termination of or litigation involving the Franchise Agreement or
the License.
(b) Borrower agrees that until such time as Borrower's
Obligations under the Loan Documents (including the Promissory Note) have been
fully satisfied, if, whether because of a change in the Franchise Agreement,
applicable law or otherwise, Borrower is able to grant a security interest in
the Franchise Agreement to the Secured Party to secure its Obligations without
Franchisor's consent and without breaching or defaulting under the Franchise
Agreement, Borrower agrees to promptly grant such security interest in favor of
the Secured Party and to obtain, procure, execute and deliver, file and affix
such further agreements (including modification of the Security Agreement),
assignments, instruments, documents, notices, statements, writings (including
financing statements), powers (including
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT -- PAGE 12
SYBRA, INC./LOAN ▇▇. ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇'▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇
stock and bond powers, and powers of attorney), tax stamps and information, and
to do or cause to be done all such further acts and things (including the
execution, delivery and filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1) as Secured
Party may reasonably request, from time to time, in its discretion, in
connection with such security interest and the perfection thereof. Without
limiting the foregoing, Borrower authorizes Secured Party to the extent
permitted by law to execute and file, or file without Borrower's signature, any
and all financing statements, amendments thereto and continuations thereof as
Secured Party deems necessary or appropriate in connection therewith.
(c) Until such time as the Obligations of Borrower under the
Loan Documents (including the Promissory Note) have been fully satisfied,
Borrower agrees to make one or more timely elections to renew the term of the
Franchise Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Franchise Agreement for
a period which extends beyond the Maturity Date (as defined in the Promissory
Note) of the Loan and shall use its reasonable best efforts to satisfy any and
all conditions to any such renewal, and to obtain, procure, execute and deliver,
file and affix such further agreement, instruments, documents, notices,
statements, writings, powers and information, and to do or cause to be done all
such further acts and things as Secured Party may reasonably request, from time
to time, in its discretion, in connection with Borrower's Obligations set forth
herein.
3.13. OPERATING EXPERIENCE. The Borrower has had at least three (3)
years' experience operating a business or businesses similar to the Business of
the Pledged Store.
3.14. FCCR. The Borrower shall maintain a Corporate FCCR of not less
than 1.10 to 1.00 to be tested annually on December 31st of each year for the
fiscal year then ended (the "Required Corporate FCCR"). The Borrower or an
Affiliate shall have the right to cure any breach by the Borrower of such
Required Corporate FCCR within forty-five (45) days of such breach, by
depositing into a segregated escrow account in Borrower's name (with
contemporaneous written notice to Secured Party of the deposit account and
amount escrowed): (i) if the Corporate FCCR is less than 1.00 to 1.00, an amount
in cash such that the interest income thereon is sufficient in amount to cause
the future Corporate FCCR to be equal to or greater than 1.10 to 1.00, or (ii)
if the Corporate FCCR is equal to or greater than 1.05 to 1.00, then an amount
in cash equal to the difference between the income of the Borrower assuming a
Corporate FCCR of 1.05 to 1.00 and the income of the Borrower assuming a
Corporate FCCR of 1.10 to 1.00. In no event shall the Borrower be required to
maintain funds in the escrow account in excess of the outstanding aggregate
principal balance of the Loan. Borrower shall grant Secured Party a perfected
first lien security interest in the escrow account to the extent allowable under
Borrower's financing arrangement with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc., as of the date of this
Security Agreement, or any refinancing thereof. Any amounts deposited into the
escrow account shall be returned to Borrower, if Borrower is not in default
hereunder after applicable notice and cure periods and upon compliance with the
Required Corporate FCCR for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters.
3.15. LIMITATION ON INDEBTEDNESS, LEASE OBLIGATIONS AND
DISTRIBUTIONS. The Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, incur any
Indebtedness, Lease Obligations or make or become obligated to make any
Distributions if after giving effect to such incurrence or payments, the
Corporate FCCR would be less than the Required Corporate FCCR. Notwithstanding
the foregoing to the contrary, Borrower may at any time incur Indebtedness to an
Affiliate of Borrower which is unsecured and with respect to which Secured Party
and the Affiliate making such loan have entered into an agreement subordinating
repayment of such loan to the Loan Amount in form reasonably acceptable to
Secured Party.
3.16. INSPECTION. The Borrower shall allow the Secured Party, its
agents and representatives, from time to time, to inspect the Collateral, the
Property and the Borrower's books and records pertaining thereto, to inspect the
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT -- PAGE 13
SYBRA, INC./LOAN NO. 163
ARBY'S/DALLAS, TEXAS
Business during normal business hours and unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, upon reasonable prior notice and in a reasonable
manner that will not unduly interfere with normal operations, and the Borrower
will assist (and permit abstracts and photocopies of the Borrower's books and
records to be taken and retained by) the Secured Party, its agents and
representatives in making any such inspection.
3.17. INSURANCE. At the Borrower's sole cost and expense, the
Borrower shall:
(i) keep the Collateral (which for purposes of this
Section 3.17 includes the Property) insured against loss or damage by fire,
theft, collision and other hazards (including flood, if no certification or
other evidence satisfactory to the Secured Party is delivered to the Secured
Party to the effect that the Property is not located within a federally
designated special flood hazard area) and otherwise as may be required by the
Secured Party and shall maintain: (A) comprehensive general public liability
insurance covering all claims for bodily injury, death and property damage
occurring on, in or about the Property or in connection with the Business, with
a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence; (B)
maintain business interruption insurance covering at least six (6) months of
operating costs and expenses, including finance costs for the Obligations; (C)
"all risk" extended coverage property insurance against loss or damage to the
tangible Collateral from fire, theft or any other cause, for one hundred percent
(100%) of the full replacement value with a deductible not exceeding $50,000 per
occurrence; (D) federal flood hazard insurance in the maximum amount obtainable
to the extent any of the Collateral is located in a federally designated flood
hazard area; (E) builder's risk insurance covering the Pledged Store during
construction, restoration or renovation; (F) workers' compensation insurance
covering all of the Borrower's employees at the Pledged Store; and (G) maintain
such other or additional insurance as may be required from time to time by
Secured Party against the same or similar risks;
(ii) cause all insurance policies required hereunder to
be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance carriers authorized to
do business in the jurisdiction where the Property is located with a General
Policy Rating "A-8" or better as published in BEST'S KEY RATING GUIDE. Copies of
all insurance policies required to be maintained under this Security Agreement
shall be delivered to the Secured Party or its assigns prior to the execution
and delivery of this Security Agreement, together with evidence that premiums
have been paid in advance in full. Evidence of renewal or any modification to
any policy shall be delivered to Secured Party or its designees or assigns,
including the Servicer, not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration
date, or modification, as applicable of such policy;
(iii) cause all policies to contain an endorsement or
agreement by the insurer that any loss will be paid to the Secured Party or its
designees or assigns in accordance with its interests and the terms of the
policy, notwithstanding any act or negligence of the Borrower or the Borrower's
agents or representatives that might otherwise result in denial or forfeiture of
coverage, and use reasonable efforts to obtain an agreement by the insurer
waiving all rights of recovery, setoff or counterclaim against the Secured Party
by way of subrogation or otherwise. Liability policies shall designate the
Secured Party or its designees and their respective successors and assigns as
additional named insureds. All other policies shall designate the Secured Party
or its designee and their respective successors and assigns as loss payees with
respect to the Collateral and all business interruption coverage, and shall
contain a standard noncontributory form of first mortgagee endorsement,
entitling the Secured Party to collect all proceeds, together with a standard
waiver of subrogation endorsement if available as above provided. All policies
shall provide for at least ten (10) days prior written notice to the Secured
Party and its designees or assigns of cancellation, non-renewal or modification
(including any reduction in the scope or limits of coverage or any increase in
deductible amounts). If any insurance coverage required to be maintained by
Borrower pursuant to this Security Agreement shall expire or lapse
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT -- PAGE 14
SYBRA, INC./LOAN ▇▇. ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇'▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇
for any reason, the Secured Party shall have the right in its sole discretion
(but not the obligation), after notice of any impending lapse, cancellation or
non-renewal of coverage, to obtain replacement coverage in some or all of the
amounts and against any and all of the risk as required under this Security
Agreement. All costs and expenses incurred by the Secured Party in doing so
shall be paid or reimbursed by the Borrower immediately, together with interest
at the Default Rate, and until repaid shall constitute part of the Obligations
secured by the Collateral;
(iv) timely pay all premiums, fees and charges required
in connection with all of its insurance policies and otherwise continue to
maintain such policies in full force and effect;
(v) promptly deliver the insurance policies,
certificates (and renewals) thereof or other evidence of compliance herewith to
the Secured Party; and
(vi) promptly notify the Secured Party of any loss
covered by such insurance policies and allow the Secured Party to join the
Borrower in adjusting any loss in excess of eighty percent (80.0%) of the Loan
Amount.
3.18. LOAN PROCEEDS. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be
used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any "margin
stock" within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System. The Borrower intends to and agrees to use the proceeds
of the Loan solely for the lawful, proper business or commercial purpose(s) set
forth in its application for the Loan and Secured Party's commitment letter.
3.19. CAPITALIZATION; SOLVENCY.
(a) All of the issued and outstanding capital stock,
partnership or membership interests of Borrower are directly and beneficially
owned and held by the Persons identified on the SCHEDULE 1 ("Control Persons")
and all of such capital stock, partnership or membership interests have been
duly authorized and are fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all
claims, liens, pledges and encumbrances of any kind.
(b) The Borrower is solvent and, after giving effect to the
Obligations, will continue to be solvent. The Borrower's financial statements
fairly present the financial position of Borrower and the results of operations
as of the dates and for the periods set forth therein. The Borrower has no
material obligations or liabilities (direct, indirect, contingent or
liquidated), or liabilities for taxes required to be reflected therein that are
not reflected.
3.20. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. The Borrower agrees to provide to the
Secured Party within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter
during the term of this Security Agreement, a compliance certificate (in the
form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A) executed by Borrower, and at the end of the
fourth fiscal quarter for the prior year, a calculation of Corporate FCCR (the
form calculation is attached hereto as EXHIBIT B). The Borrower further agrees
to provide to the Secured Party: (i) within forty-five (45) days after the end
of each fiscal quarter and within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of
each fiscal year, consolidated Borrower internally generated financial
statements covering the corresponding period then ended including a balance
sheet, income and expense, cash flow and operating statements for such period
and containing comparative data from prior periods and individual Pledged Store
internally generated income and expense, or operating statements for such
period; and (ii) such other information reasonably requested by the Secured
Party and reasonably available to the Borrower. The financial statements
furnished to the Secured Party in connection with the Borrower's application for
the Loan and hereunder shall be certified by the Borrower to fairly present the
financial condition of the Borrower and the results of operations and shall
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT -- PAGE
SYBRA, INC./LOAN NO. ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇'▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇
reflect all Indebtedness and Lease Obligations of the Person covered thereby and
shall be sufficiently detailed to allow the Secured Party to calculate the Unit
FCCR of the Pledged Store (where required herein), the Consolidated FCCR (where
required herein) and the Corporate FCCR. Such financial statements shall be
prepared in accordance with GAAP or such other accounting principles customarily
used in the industry and reasonably acceptable to Secured Party.
3.21. ACCURACY OF INFORMATION. All information, reports, statements
and financial and other data furnished (or hereafter furnished) by the Borrower
to the Secured Party, its agents or representatives hereunder or in connection
with the Borrower's application for the Loan and the Obligations, are (and shall
be on the date so furnished) true, complete and correct in all material
respects. All financial projections that have been or are hereafter prepared by
or on behalf of Borrower, its Affiliates or their respective agents or
representatives have been and shall be prepared in good faith and based upon
reasonable assumptions. Borrower hereby authorizes Secured Party to request
credit bureau reports while any of the Obligations are outstanding.
3.22. FULL DISCLOSURE. Neither this Security Agreement nor any
instrument, document, certificate, schedule or statement delivered herewith or
heretofore by Borrower to Secured Party contains any material untrue statement
made by Borrower of a fact or omits to state any fact necessary to keep such
statements, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, from being
materially misleading.
3.23. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. (a) Except as set forth in SCHEDULE
3.23, neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) is
currently obligated to contribute to an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA
(an "ERISA Plan"). Within the five (5) year period ending on the date hereof no
ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability to the U.S. Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC"), the U. S. Internal Revenue Service (the
"IRS") or an ERISA Plan on account of any failure to meet the contribution
requirements or minimum funding standards of or prohibited transactions with
respect to, any ERISA Plan, the administration or termination of any single
employer pension plan which is an ERISA Plan, or any partial or complete
withdrawal from or the insolvency, reorganization or termination of a
multi-employer plan which is an ERISA Plan, and no event has occurred and no
condition exists which presents a material risk that the Borrower will incur
liabilities on account of the foregoing circumstances which are material in
aggregate. As used in this Agreement, the term "ERISA Affiliate" means the
Borrower and any other trade or business, whether or not incorporated which is
subject to ERISA and which is from time to time a member of a controlled group
or a group under common control with the Borrower (within the meaning of Section
414(b) or Section 414(c) of the Code or Section 4001(b) (1) of ERISA); and other
terms used in this Section 3.23 shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the
applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code.
(b) Solely for the purposes of making the representation in
the next sentence and only to the extent that the accuracy of the representation
made by this sentence affects the accuracy of the representation in the next
sentence, neither the Borrower nor any of its Affiliates is a "party in
interest" (within the meaning of Section 3(14) of ERISA) with respect to any
ERISA Plan, and none of their securities are "employer securities" (within the
meaning of Section 407(d) or ERISA) with respect to any ERISA Plan. The
acquisition of the Promissory Note by Secured Party or its assigns does not and
will not constitute a "prohibited transaction" (within the meaning of Section
4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA).
3.24. TAXES. The Borrower and each entity which might have tax
liabilities for which the Borrower is liable, has filed all tax returns and paid
all taxes required by law to be filed or paid, which have become due pursuant to
said returns (or which to the knowledge of the Borrower are due and payable) and
on all assessments received by the Borrower or such entity, as the case may be.
As of the Funding Date, no extensions of the time for the assessment of
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT -- PAGE 16
SYBRA, INC./LOAN NO. ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇'▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇
deficiencies have been granted by the Borrower. There are no material Liens on
the Collateral imposed or arising as a result of the delinquent payment or the
nonpayment of any tax, assessment, fee or other governmental charge. As of the
Funding Date, the Borrower has not given or consented to any waiver of the
statute of limitations with respect to its tax liabilities for any fiscal year.
Adequate provision has also been made for all other taxes (whether past, current
or deferred, federal, provincial, local or foreign, due or to come due) on such
balance sheet, and the Borrower knows of no transaction or matter which might or
could result in additional tax assessments to the Borrower in the ordinary
course since the date of such balance sheet other than Permitted Liens. There
are no applicable taxes, fees or other governmental charges payable by the
Borrower in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and
the other Loan Documents by the Borrower or the offer, issuance, sale and
delivery of the Promissory Note by the Borrower. The Borrower shall pay all
taxes, assessments and governmental levies and all other claims that if unpaid
might result in the creation of a Lien upon the Collateral other than Permitted
Liens before they become delinquent and before interest or penalties accrue.
3.25. BENEFIT RECEIVED. Each signatory to this Security Agreement
acknowledges and agrees to all of the following: (a) that it has received a
direct or indirect benefit from the Loan as consideration for executing Loan
Documents providing Secured Party with collateral security for such Loan; and
(b) that it is not insolvent as of the date it executed such Loan Documents and
that providing such collateral security to Secured Party does not render such
signatory insolvent and was not done to hinder, delay, defraud or avoid any
other creditors of such signatory.
3.26. NO FURTHER DISPOSITION OR ENCUMBRANCES. Other than with
respect to the interest granted in favor of Secured Party, to the extent of the
Permitted Encumbrances, if any, and except as provided for in Section 4 hereof,
Borrower has not and, without the prior written consent of Secured Party (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in connection with
encumbrances in favor of Secured Party or any of its Affiliates), will not enter
into any agreement or understanding or take, permit, or suffer to exist any
action (including the filing of a financing statement, agreement, pledge,
mortgage, notice or registration) or event (whether by operation of law or
otherwise) for the purpose of, or that may have the effect of, either directly
or indirectly, granting a security interest in or lien on (including any state
or federal tax lien), pledging, transferring, assigning, selling, disposing of,
or encumbering any Collateral or the Franchise Agreement, any interest herein or
rights pertaining thereof or involving the Pledged Store; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Borrower may transfer, assign, sell or otherwise dispose of (i)
Inventory and other assets in the ordinary course of business, (ii) Equipment
and other assets, provided that the net Proceeds of such transfer, assignment,
sale or other disposition are applied within one hundred twenty (120) days to
acquire Equipment and other assets of equal or greater value, or (iii) any
Collateral or the Franchise Agreement if in the case of a Substituted Store
pursuant to Section 3.9 or a casualty or damage pursuant to Section 5.
3.27. BROKERS AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS. Borrower represents and
warrants to Secured Party that no brokers or finders were used in connection
with the financing contemplated hereby and Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify
and hold Secured Party harmless from and against any and all liabilities, costs
and expenses (including attorneys' fees and court costs) suffered or incurred by
Secured Party as a result of or arising out of any of the transactions
contemplated hereby. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration
and termination of this Security Agreement and the repayment of the related
Indebtedness.
3.28. LITIGATION. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE F, as of the
Funding Date, there is no present investigation by any governmental agency
pending, or to the best of Borrower's knowledge threatened, against or affecting
Borrower, its assets or Business and there is no action, suit, proceeding or
claim by any Person pending, or to the best of Borrower's knowledge threatened,
against or affecting any transactions contemplated by this Agreement. None of

SYBRA, INC./LOAN NO. ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇'▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇
the investigations, actions, suits, proceedings or claims identified on SCHEDULE
F would, if adversely determined, have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no
action, suit, proceeding or claim by any Person pending, or to the best of
Borrower's knowledge threatened, against Borrower or its assets or Business that
would, if adversely determined, have a Material Adverse Effect
3.29. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Borrower shall not directly or
indirectly: (a) purchase, acquire or lease any property from, or sell, transfer
or lease any property to, any Affiliate or any officer, employee, member,
manager, director, or agent of any Affiliate of Borrower; or (b) make any
payments of management, consulting or other fees for management or similar
services, or of any indebtedness owing to any Affiliate or any officer,
employee, member, manager, director, agent of any Affiliate of Borrower, except
in the ordinary course of business and pursuant to agreements in writing on
terms no less favorable to Borrower than would be available in agreements with
Persons other than those referenced in (a) or (b).
ARTICLE IV
SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING INVENTORY, EQUIPMENT AND
REAL PROPERTY
4. SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING INVENTORY, EQUIPMENT AND REAL
PROPERTY. The Borrower shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Secured
Party in the Inventory and the Equipment and shall cause the Inventory and the
Equipment to at all times be, constitute and remain personal property subject to
the security interest granted to the Secured Party. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, provided an Event of Default has not occurred and is not
continuing, in the ordinary course of the Borrower's Business, (i) the Borrower
may sell its Inventory, and (ii) the Borrower may, from time to time, refinance
existing Indebtedness secured by Permitted Liens in accordance with the terms
thereof, replace its Equipment, acquire new Equipment and accessions to its
Equipment, or acquire fee interest in (or ground lease of) any Property, subject
to purchase money security interests, if any; provided that if the Secured Party
has a leasehold mortgage or deed of trust on any lease of such Property, such
lease remains in full force and effect (or is spread to a fee mortgage on the
Property or on the ground lease of the Property), subject to the Secured Party's
security interest and any Person with a lien on the fee interest in (or ground
lease of such Property) provides the Secured Party with a nondisturbance
agreement and such other assurances as the Secured Party shall reasonably
request.

under the terms of the Property lease, if applicable, the Borrower hereby
directs any and all transferors, distributors or payers (including insurance
companies with whom the Borrower maintains insurance) to make payment of all
Proceeds directly to the Secured Party or its designee, including the Servicer,
and authorizes the Secured Party or its designee, including the Servicer, (i) to
apply the same toward replacement and repair of the Collateral or (ii) in the
event the damage results in fifty percent (50.0%) or more in value of the
Pledged Store requiring replacement, and the Unit FCCR of the Pledged Store for
the twelve (12) month period preceding such casualty was less than 1.25 to 1.00,
then the Secured Party may, at its sole discretion, require the proceeds to be
applied to the repayment of the Loan. In any situation where the insurance
proceeds would be applied to the repayment of the Loan as described in clause
(ii) above, Borrower may, at its election, request
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT -- PAGE 18
SYBRA, INC./LOAN NO. ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇'▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇
Lender's consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
to the insurance proceeds being paid to Borrower, with Borrower providing a
Substitute Store (as defined in Section 3.9) to replace the Pledged Store
subject to the casualty. In all cases other than as set forth in clause (ii)
above, the Borrower shall have the option of applying the proceeds to replacing
or repairing the Collateral/Pledged Store or repaying the Loan. Notwithstanding
the terms of the Property lease, if applicable, the Borrower will use its
reasonable best efforts and hereby assigns the Proceeds toward replacement of
the Collateral and shall keep any lease or options to extend the lease in effect
until the Loan is paid. All Proceeds, whether received by the Secured Party or
by the Borrower, or by any other Person will be included in the Collateral
subject to the security interest granted to the Secured Party hereunder. Upon
and during the continuation of an Event of Default the Borrower shall (i)
identify, earmark, segregate and keep separate all Proceeds received by it, (ii)
upon the Secured Party's request, promptly account to the Secured Party for all
Proceeds, and (iii) hold all Proceeds received by the Borrower in trust for the
benefit of the Secured Party and shall promptly (and in any event not later than
the fifth day after receipt) deliver (or cause to be delivered) the same to the
Secured Party and into its possession in the form received by the Borrower and
at a time and in a manner satisfactory to the Secured Party.
ARTICLE VI
SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING RIGHTS AND DUTIES WHILE IN
POSSESSION OF COLLATERAL
6. SPECIAL PROVISION CONCERNING RIGHTS AND DUTIES WHILE IN
POSSESSION OF COLLATERAL.
6.1. BORROWER'S POSSESSION. Upon and during the continuance of an
Event of Default to the extent the same shall, from time to time, be in the
Borrower's possession, the Borrower will hold all Instruments, Chattel Paper,
Documents, money on hand at the Pledged Store and other writings evidencing or
relating to the Collateral in trust for the Secured Party and, upon request or
as otherwise provided herein, promptly deliver the same to the Secured Party in
a form received and at a time and in a manner satisfactory to the Secured Party.
With respect to the Collateral in the Borrower's possession, the Borrower shall
at the Secured Party's request take such action as the Secured Party in its
discretion deems necessary or desirable to create, perfect and protect the
Secured Party's security interest in any of the Collateral.
6.2. SECURED PARTY'S POSSESSION. With respect to all of the Collateral
delivered or transferred to, or otherwise in the custody or control of
(including any items in transit to or set apart for) the Secured Party or any of
its agents, associates or correspondents in accordance with this Security
Agreement, the Borrower agrees that upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, (i) such Collateral will be and be deemed
to be in the sole possession of the Secured Party; (ii) subject to Section 4,
the Borrower has no right to withdraw or substitute any such Collateral without
the consent of the Secured Party, which consent may be withheld or delayed in
the Secured Party's sole discretion; (iii) the Borrower shall not take or permit
any action, or exercise any voting and other rights, powers and privileges in
respect of the Collateral inconsistent with the Secured Party's sole possession
thereof; and (iv) the Secured Party may in its sole discretion and without
notice, without obligation or liability except to account for property actually
received by it, and without affecting or discharging the Obligations, (x)
further transfer and segregate the Collateral in its possession; (y) receive
Proceeds and hold the same as part of the Collateral and/or apply the same as
hereinafter provided; and (z) exchange any of the Collateral for other property
upon reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment. Following the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Secured Party
is authorized (i) to exercise or cause its nominee to exercise all or any
rights, powers and privileges (including to vote) on or with respect to the
Collateral with the same force and effect as an absolute owner thereof; (ii)
whether any of the Obligations be due, in its name or in the Borrower's name or
otherwise, to demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect or receive any
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT -- PAGE 19
SYBRA, INC./LOAN NO. 163
ARBY'S/DALLAS, TEXAS
money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange
for, or make any compromise or settlement with respect to, any of the
Collateral; and (iii) to extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in
installments, or otherwise modify the terms of or release, any of the
Collateral. Notwithstanding the rights accorded the Secured Party with respect
to the Collateral and except to the extent provided below or required by the UCC
or other applicable law (which requirement cannot be modified, waived or
excused), the Secured Party's sole duty with respect to the Collateral in its
possession (with respect to custody, preservation, safekeeping or otherwise)
will be to deal with it in the same manner that the Secured Party deals with
similar property owned and possessed by it. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Secured Party, and any of its officers, directors, partners, trustees, owners,
employees and agents, to the extent permitted by law (i) will not be required to
take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of
the Collateral; and (ii) will not be liable for (or deemed to have made an
election of or exercised any right or remedy on account of) any delay or failure
to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral. The Borrower agrees
that such standard of care is reasonable and appropriate under the
circumstances.
6.3. FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES. Without Secured Party's prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Borrower
will not permit a Change in Control to occur. Borrower shall pay all reasonable
costs and expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection with any proposed
Change in Control including, without limitation, the reasonable underwriting
costs, appraisal costs, the costs of Lien searches, recording and filing fees,
document preparation and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. No Change in
Control shall relieve Borrower or any other party liable for payment of the
Obligations including, any Guarantor, from liability for payment of the
Obligations. The Borrower and any such other party liable for payment of the
Obligations shall continue to be jointly and severally liable with any
transferee for the continued payment and performance of the Obligations.

funds to be held by the Secured Party to fund such obligations, including taxes
or insurance) as may be required hereby (or necessary or desirable in connection
herewith) to correct such failure (including causing the Collateral to be

fees, court cost and legal expenses) incurred in connection therewith or with
respect to the care, safekeeping, custody, maintenance, protection,
administration or otherwise of any and all of said Collateral

remedies as secured party, the Secured Party agrees to give the Borrower ten
(10) days notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of
the time after which any private sale of Collateral may take place, unless the

type customarily sold on a recognized market. The Borrower agrees that such
period and notice is commercially reasonable under the circumstances.

acts of commission or omission, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact
or law, unless and then only to the extent that the same constitutes its
negligence or willful misconduct. This power is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable. THIS POWER DOES NOT AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO AUTHORIZE ANY

12. ASSIGNMENT AND DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION.

from time to time, sell, pledge, grant a security interest in and collaterally
assign, transfer and deliver or otherwise encumber or dispose of the Promissory
Note, this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and
powers hereunder and thereunder, in whole or in part, in connection with the
Securitization or any other assignment or other disposition of the Promissory
Note. For so long as Secured Party is the holder or servicing agent of the

person to service the Loan underlying the Promissory Note. The Borrower may not,
in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, assign this Security Agreement or
any Loan Document or its rights hereunder or thereunder or delegate its duties
hereunder without, in each instance, the specific prior written consent

of the Secured Party, which consent may be withheld or delayed in the Secured
Party's sole discretion, and payment of the amounts required under and
compliance with Section 11(b) of the Promissory Note. Notwithstanding the
foregoing to the contrary, Borrower may assign the rights and obligations under
this Security Agreement but not its obligation under the Promissory Note to a
subsidiary corporation which, at the time of assignment and at all times
thereafter, Borrower owns one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding stock,
with Secured Party's prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, but may be conditioned on: (i) all leases, Franchise
Agreements and other rights and obligations of Borrower with respect to the
Pledged Store being assigned to such subsidiary concurrently with the assignment
of the Security Agreement; (ii) Borrower providing certification to Secured
Party that all necessary consents to such assignment have been obtained; (iii)
Borrower providing Secured Party with such assurances that Secured Party may
reasonably request that Secured Party will have a perfected first lien security
interest in all items of Collateral which have been transferred; and (iv)
Borrower and Secured Party have agreed to all amendments to this Security
Agreement deemed reasonably necessary by Secured Party to effectuate the
assignment, including any amendments to Borrower's representations, warranties
and covenants. Borrower will pay all Secured Party's reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with this Section.
12.2 DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION. If Secured Party determines at
any time to sell transfer or assign the Promissory Note, Security Agreement, or
other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or
to otherwise issue a Securitization involving the Loan Documents, Secured Party
may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, investor or their
prospective successors in such Securitization or any rating agency rating such
Securitization and each prospective investor, all documents and information
which Secured Party now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan
Documents, the Borrower, any Guarantor and the Property, which shall have been
furnished by Borrower or any Guarantor, as Secured Party determines necessary or
desirable. The Borrower hereby consents to the Secured Party's disclosure of

the Collateral and the Business in connection with such transfer or assignment
as Secured Party determines necessary or desirable.
ARTICLE XIII
FURTHER ASSURANCE

deliver, file and affix such further agreements, bills of sale and assignments,
instruments, documents, warehouse receipts, bills of lading, vouchers, invoices,
notices, statements, writings, (including financing statements, and writings to
correct any error or ambiguity in any Loan Document), powers (including stock
and bond powers, and powers of attorney), tax stamps and information, and to do
or cause to be done all such further acts and things (including the execution,
delivery and filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1, payment of filing
fees and transfer, gains and recording taxes) as the Secured Party may
reasonably request, from time to time, in its discretion, including but not
limited to all such actions required to provide Secured Party with a perfected
security interest in the Collateral (including all General Intangibles).
Additionally, the Borrower agrees to fully cooperate with the Secured Party in
connection with any Securitization or other disposition, including, but not
limited to, providing the Secured Party with any information deemed necessary to
complete the Securitization or other disposition. Furthermore, Borrower agrees
to use its reasonable best efforts (provided, however, the Borrower shall not be
obligated to make any payments with respect hereto), to provide Secured Party
with fully-executed landlord estoppels and landlord consents to leasehold
mortgages, in form and substance acceptable to Secured Party for the Pledged
Store, if the Pledged Store is leased.

TERM, PARTIAL RELEASE AND REINSTATEMENT
14. TERM, PARTIAL RELEASE AND REINSTATEMENT.
14.1. TERM. This Security Agreement shall be immediately in full
force and effect upon the Borrower's and Secured Party's execution below. Upon
indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with the terms
thereof this Security Agreement and the security interest granted hereunder
shall terminate and the Secured Party, at the Borrower's expense, will execute
and deliver to the Borrower the proper instruments (including UCC termination
statements) acknowledging the termination of such security interest, and will
duly assign, transfer and deliver (without recourse, representation or warranty)
such Collateral as may be in the Secured Party's possession, and not to be
retained, sold, or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Security
Agreement, to the Borrower, except that the Borrower's obligations under
Sections 10, 11, 13 and 15 shall survive indefinitely.
14.2. PARTIAL RELEASE. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of the
Loan (including, without limitation, any Prepayment Amount or other amounts
payable by the Borrower with respect to such Loan) in accordance with the
provisions of the Promissory Note evidencing such Loan, the security interest
hereunder with respect to the Collateral shall terminate, and the Secured Party,
at the expense of the Borrower, will execute and deliver to the Borrower the
proper instruments (including UCC partial release statements) acknowledging the
termination of such security interest, and will duly assign, transfer and
deliver (without recourse, representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as
may be in the possession of the Secured Party and has not theretofore been sold
or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Security Agreement, to the
Borrower, and shall take such other action as the Borrower may reasonably
request to effectuate the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the
contrary, Secured Party shall not be required to release its Lien as to any
Collateral, unless either: (a) (i) the Consolidated FCCR of the Consolidated
Pledged Stores which will not be released, exceeds 1.25 to 1.00 for the twelve
(12) month period immediately preceding the date of payment of such Loan; and
(ii) the aggregate indebtedness of Borrower to Secured Party (or its Affiliates
or assigns), with respect to the Consolidated Pledged Stores which will not be
released is less than seventy percent (70.0%) of the value of such Consolidated
Pledged Stores, based upon a current appraisal performed by such appraisal firm
regularly employed by Secured Party; and (b) the release of the Collateral and
Pledged Store would not result in a decrease in the Consolidated FCCR calculated
in clause (a)(i) above, or in the loan-to-value ratio calculated in (a)(ii)
above (calculated by first including the Unit FCCR and loan-to-value ratio of
the Pledged Store, and then excluding such amounts).
14.3. REINSTATEMENT. This Security Agreement shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount
received by the Secured Party in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by the Secured Party upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any
Guarantor or upon the appointment of any intervenor or conservator of or trustee

15.1. FINAL AGREEMENT, AMENDMENTS, CONSENTS, AUTHORIZATIONS. THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE BORROWER AND THE SECURED PARTY AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED
BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE
BORROWER AND THE SECURED PARTY. THE BORROWER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT ORAL
AGREEMENTS AND ORAL COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR FROM
ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE. THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE BORROWER AND THE SECURED PARTY.
This Security Agreement and the Loan Documents represent the entire
understanding of the Secured Party and the Borrower with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. None of the terms or provisions of
this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document may be waived, altered,
modified, or amended except in each instance by a specific written instrument
duly executed by the Secured Party. Without limiting the foregoing, no action or
omission to act shall be deemed to be a consent, authorization, representation
or agreement of the Secured Party, under the UCC or otherwise, unless, in each
instance, the same is in a specific writing signed by the Secured Party. The
inclusion of Proceeds in the Collateral does not and shall not be deemed to
authorize the Borrower to sell, exchange or dispose of the Collateral or the
Franchise Agreement or otherwise use the Collateral in any manner not otherwise
specifically authorized herein.

to or in connection with this Security Agreement shall be in writing delivered

15.3. REASONABLENESS. If at any time the Borrower believes that the
Secured Party has not acted reasonably in granting or withholding any approval
or consent under the Promissory Note, this Security Agreement, or any other Loan
Document or otherwise with respect to the Obligations, as to which approval or
consent either the Secured Party has expressly agreed to act reasonably, or
absent such agreement, a court of law having jurisdiction over the subject
matter would require the Secured Party to act reasonably, then the Borrower's
sole remedy shall be to seek injunctive relief, specific performance or actual
damages, the Borrower hereby waiving any right to punitive or consequential
damages.
15.4. RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. The Secured Party shall
have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which
constitute a part of the Obligations as the same become due, without regard to
whether or not the balance of the Obligations shall be due, and without
prejudice to the right of the Secured Party thereafter to bring an action of
foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by the Borrower
existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.
15.5. WAIVERS. THE BORROWER HEREBY MAKES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT
MAKES ALL OF THE WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, THE PROMISSORY
NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY, VOLUNTARILY, WITHOUT
DURESS, AND ONLY AFTER EXTENSIVE CONSIDERATION OF THE RAMIFICATIONS OF SUCH
WAIVERS WITH ITS ATTORNEY; THE BORROWER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH WAIVERS
ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE SECURED PARTY TO MAKE THE LOAN TO THE BORROWER
AND THAT THE SECURED PARTY WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THE LOAN WITHOUT SUCH WAIVERS.
15.6. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, AND THE SECURED PARTY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE
PROMISSORY NOTE AND THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS IRREVOCABLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
SUIT OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH, OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO
THE PROMISSORY NOTE, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE
OBLIGATIONS.
15.7. RELATIONSHIP. The relationship of the Secured Party to the
Borrower hereunder is strictly and solely that of secured lender on the one hand
and borrower on the other and nothing contained in the Promissory Note, this
Security Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise in connection with
the Obligations is intended to create, or shall in any event or under any
circumstance be construed as creating, a partnership, joint venture,
tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature whatsoever
between the Secured Party and the Borrower other than as secured lender on the
one hand and borrower on the other.
