(a) The Manager agrees to indemnify and hold each Securitization Entity, the Servicer, both in its capacity as Servicer and as Control Party, and the Trustee, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each an “Indemnitee”) harmless against all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs and judgments and other costs, fees and reasonable expenses that any of them may incur as a result of (i) the failure of the

Manager to perform its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the breach by the Manager of any representation, warranty or covenant under this Agreement or (iii) the Manager’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; provided, however, that there shall be no indemnification under this Section 2.8(a) for a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant relating to any Post-Securitization Asset provided in ARTICLE 5, unless the applicable Indemnitees elect to forego the liquidated damages remedy provided in Section 2.8(b) below (with the consent of the Control Party), with respect to the applicable breach; provided further that, solely for purposes of determining the indemnification obligations pursuant to clause (i) above, the definition of “Management Standard” will be read without giving effect to the materiality standard contained in clause (c) of the definition of “Management Standard.”

(b) With respect to any claim described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.8(a) relating to the Manager’s breach of a representation, warranty or covenant under ARTICLE 5 relating to any Post-Securitization Asset, each Indemnitee shall have the option (that it may exercise in its sole discretion) of proceeding under such Section 2.8(a) or under this Section 2.8(b) but not both. Unless the applicable Indemnitee elects the remedy set forth in Section 2.8(a) above, the Manager shall pay to the Master Issuer liquidated damages in an amount equal to the Defective Asset Damages Amount. Upon payment by the Manager of the Defective Asset Damages Amount to the Master Issuer with respect to any Defective Post-Securitization Asset in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Master Issuer or the applicable Securitization Entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, assign such Defective Post-Securitization Asset to the Manager (together with a master franchise or license agreement permitting the Manager and its Affiliates the right to sub-franchise such Defective Post-Securitization Asset) and the Manager shall accept assignment of such Defective Post-Securitization Asset from the relevant Securitization Entity. Such Securitization Entity shall, in such event, make all assignments of such Defective Post-Securitization Asset necessary to effect such assignment, as applicable. Any such assignment by such Securitization Entity shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, such Securitization Entity, except that such ownership rights being conveyed are free and clear of any Liens created by any Related Document. All costs and expenses associated with the foregoing shall be paid by the Manager on demand by or at the direction of such Securitization Entity or the Trustee (at the direction of the Control Party).

(c) Any Indemnitee that proposes to assert the right to be indemnified under Section 2.8 will promptly, after receipt of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made against the Manager under this Section 2.8, notify the Manager of the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, enclosing a copy of all papers served. In the event that any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnitee (other than the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents), such Indemnitee shall notify the Manager of the commencement thereof and the Manager shall be entitled to participate in, and to

the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, and after notice from the Manager to such Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Manager shall not be liable to such Indemnitee for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof; provided that the Manager shall not enter into any settlement with respect to any claim or proceeding unless such settlement includes a release of such Indemnitee from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such settlement; and provided further that the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action the defense of which is assumed by the Manager in accordance with this Section 2.8, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee unless the employment of counsel by such Indemnitee has been specifically authorized by the Manager, or unless the Manager is advised in writing by counsel that joint representation would give rise to a conflict between the Indemnitee’s position and the position of the Manager and its Affiliates in respect of the defense of the claim. In the event that any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against the Trustee or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents (each, a “Trustee Indemnitee”), it shall notify the Manager of the commencement thereof and the Trustee Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action at the expense of the Manager. No Indemnitee shall settle or compromise any claim covered pursuant to this Section 2.8 without the prior written consent of the Manager, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The provisions of this Section 2.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of any party hereto.

The Manager shall not, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Notes of any Series, petition or otherwise invoke the process of any court or governmental authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against any Securitization Entity under any insolvency law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of any Securitization Entity or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of any Securitization Entity.

Section 2.10 Certain Amendments to Documents Governing Managed Assets. Except with the prior written consent of the Control Party, the Manager shall not (a) take any action (or omit to take any action) (or permit any such action or inaction) with respect to the Managed Assets or (b) permit the termination, amendment or waiver of any provision of any document governing the Managed Assets, other than in accordance with the Management Standard, and then only if the effect of such action, inaction, termination, amendment or waiver, together with the effect of all other previous actions, inactions, terminations, amendments and waivers, with respect to the Managed Asset or to such documents governing the Managed Assets, could not be reasonably expected to result in (i) a material decrease in the amount of Collections other than Excluded Amounts, taken as a whole, (ii) a material adverse change in the nature or quality of Collections other than Excluded Amounts, taken as a whole or (iii) a material alteration in the general assets categories generating Collections other than Excluded

Amounts, taken as a whole, or the relative contribution of each such category; provided, however, that this Section 2.10 shall not permit the termination, amendment or waiver of, any provision of any Related Document other than in accordance with the terms of such Related Document.

Section 2.11 Franchisor Consent. Subject to the Management Standard and the terms of the Related Documents, the Manager shall have the authority, on behalf of the applicable Franchisor, to grant or withhold consents of the “franchisor” required under the Franchise Arrangements.

Section 2.12 Appointment of Sub-managers.

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, which would have a Material Adverse Effect; 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, which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) Taxes. The Manager has filed or caused to be filed all federal tax returns and all state and other tax returns which, to its knowledge, are required to be filed.

Neither the Manager nor any corporation or any trade, business, organization or other entity (whether or not incorporated) that would be treated together with the Manager as a single employer under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code or Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA has established, maintains, contributes to, or has any liability in respect of (or has in the past six years established, maintained, contributed to, or had any liability in respect of) any Plan. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.1, the Manager is not a member of a Controlled Group which has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement welfare 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 continuation of coverage laws.

(m) Environmental Matters.

(i) The Manager (A) is, and for the past three years has been, in material compliance with any and all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations, and directives of any Governmental Authority relating to the protection of human health and safety, natural resources, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (“Environmental Laws”), (B) has received and will have in full force and effect all material permits, licenses or other approvals required of it under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct its businesses (including, without limitation, the business of servicing the Managed Assets) and (C) is in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval.

(n) No Manager Termination Event. No Manager Termination Event has occurred or is continuing, and, to the knowledge of the Manager, there is no event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a Manager Termination Event.

Section 4.2 Existence. The Manager shall keep in full effect its existence under the laws of the state of its formation, and maintain its rights and privileges necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business and the performance of its obligations hereunder, and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify either individually or in the aggregate would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Right to Receive Instructions. 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 or any other Related Document, 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 or any other Related 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 give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Control Party requesting instructions in accordance with the Base Indenture and, to the extent that the Manager shall have acted or refrained from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instructions received from the Control Party, 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 instruction if it is unable to decide between alternative courses of action. Subject to the Management Standard, if the Manager shall not have received appropriate instructions from the Control Party within ten 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 Related Documents, as the Manager shall deem to be in the best interests of the Noteholders and the Securitization Entities. The Manager shall have no liability to any Secured Party, any Noteholder or the Controlling Class Representative for such action or inaction taken in reliance on the preceding sentence except for the Manager’s own willful misconduct or negligence.

(d) No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in Instructions. 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 and consistent with the Management Standard, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Manager. The Manager nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly take all action as may be necessary to discharge any Liens on any part of the Managed Assets which result from claims against the Manager personally that are not related to the ownership or administration of the Managed Assets or the transactions contemplated by the Related Documents.

(e) No Action Except Under Specified Documents or Instructions. 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.

(f) Limitations on the Manager’s Liability. Subject to the Management Standard, and except for any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury arising out of, or resulting from, (i) any breach or default by the Manager in the observance or performance of any of its agreements contained in this Agreement, (ii) the breach by the Manager of any representation or warranty made by it herein or (iii) acts or omissions constituting the Manager’s own willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder or otherwise, neither the Manager nor any of its Affiliates (other than the Securitization Entities), managers, officers, members or employees shall be liable to any Securitization Entity, the Servicer, the Control Party, the Back-Up Manager, the Noteholders or any other Person under any circumstances, including, without limitation:

(i) for any error of judgment made in good faith;

(ii) for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Manager in good faith in accordance with the Management Standard and in accordance with the instructions of the Control Party made in accordance herewith;

(iii) for any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or indebtedness of any Securitization Entity under the Notes or any Related Document, or for any other liability or obligation of any Securitization Entity;

(iv) for or in respect of the validity or insufficiency of this Agreement or for the due execution hereof by any party hereto other than the Manager, or for the form, character, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any part of the Collateral, or for or in respect of the validity or insufficiency of the Related Documents; and

(v) for any action or inaction of the Trustee or the Control Party, or for the performance of, or the supervision of the performance of, any obligation under this Agreement or any other Related Document that is required to be performed by the Trustee or the Control Party under this Agreement or any other Related Document.

(g) No Financial Liability. No provision of this Agreement (other than the last sentence of clause (d) above) 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 reasonably assured or provided to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager shall be obligated to perform its obligations hereunder, consistent with the Management Standard, notwithstanding the fact that the Manager may not be entitled to be reimbursed for all of its expenses incurred in connection with its obligations hereunder as a result of any limit on amounts payable pursuant to the definitions of Weekly Management Fee, Weekly Canadian Management Fee and Supplemental Management Fee.

(h) Reliance. The Manager may 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 believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Manager may accept a certified copy of a resolution of the board of directors or other governing body of any Person 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 for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by any Authorized Officer of the relevant party, as to such fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the Manager for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in reliance thereon.

(i) Consultations with Third Parties; Advice of Counsel. In the exercise and performance of its duties and obligations hereunder or under any of the other Related Documents, the Manager (i) may act directly or through agents or attorneys pursuant to agreements entered into with any of them and (ii) may, at the expense of the Manager, consult with counsel, accountants and other professionals or experts 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 counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts.

(j) Independent Contractor. In performing its obligations as manager hereunder the Manager acts solely as an independent contractor of the Securitization Entities, except to the extent the Manager is deemed to be an agent of the Securitization Entities by virtue of engaging in franchise sales activities as broker. 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 or any ownership or property interest in or to the Domino’s IP. The Manager shall not be, nor shall be deemed to be, liable for any acts or obligations of the Securitization Entities, the Control Party or the Trustee (except as set forth in Section 4.3(f) hereof and except with respect to the leases related to the Leased Domestic Manufacturing and Distribution Centers where DPL, in its individual capacity, is required to act as co-obligor pursuant to the terms of such leases) and, without limiting the foregoing, the Manager shall not be liable under or in connection with the Notes. The Manager shall not be responsible for any amounts required to be paid by the Trustee under or pursuant to the Indenture.

Section 4.4 Merger; Resignation and Assignment.

(a) Preservation of Existence. The Manager shall not merge into any other Person or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent (a) the merger into the Manager of another Person, (b) the consolidation of the Manager and another Person, (c) the merger of the Manager into another Person or (d) the sale of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Manager to another Person, so long as (i) the surviving Person of the merger 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, (ii) in the case of a merger or sale, the surviving Person of the merger or the purchaser of the assets of the Manager shall expressly assume all obligations of the Manager under this Agreement and expressly agree to be bound by all provisions applicable to the Manager under this Agreement in a supplement to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Control Party and (iii) with respect to such event, in and of itself, the Rating Agency Condition has been met.

(b) Resignation. The Manager shall not resign from the rights, powers, obligations and duties hereby imposed on it with respect to the performance of the Services except (a) upon determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which the Manager could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law or (b) if the Manager is terminated as the Manager pursuant to Section 6.1(b). As to clause

(a)(i) of this clause (b), any such determination permitting the resignation of the Manager shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager and the Master Issuer. No such resignation shall become effective until a Successor Manager shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Manager in accordance with Section 6.1(b). The Trustee, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, the Master Issuer and the Rating Agencies 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 4.4(b), the Manager may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights, powers, duties or obligations hereunder.

(c) Termination of Duties. The duties and obligations of the Manager under this Agreement shall continue until such obligations shall have been terminated as provided in Section 4.4(b) or Section 6.1(b). Such duties and obligations shall survive the exercise by any of the Securitization Entities, the Trustee or the Control Party of any right or remedy under this Agreement, or the enforcement by any Securitization Entity, the Trustee, the Control Party or any Noteholder of any provision of the Indenture, the other Related Documents, the Notes or this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, a termination of the obligations of the Manager under Section 4.4(b) or Section 6.1(b) of this Agreement shall not terminate the obligations of DPL to provide Supplied Products and Services to the Product Supply Entities or DPL’s right to receive compensation for such role. If DPL is terminated as Manager pursuant to Section 4.4(b) or Section 6.1(b), DPL, the Product Supply Entities and any other entity party to a Product Purchase Agreement with DPL may negotiate in good faith to enter into any new agreements or amendments to existing agreements as necessary to preserve the supply relationship and structure. Any such new agreement or amendment to which a Securitization Entity is party shall require consent of the Control Party.

Section 4.5 Taxes. The Manager shall file or cause to be filed all federal tax returns and all state and other tax returns which are required to be filed by the Manager. The Manager shall pay or make adequate provisions for the payment of all taxes shown as due on such returns, and all assessments made against it or any of its property (other than any amount of tax the validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in accordance with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Manager). The charges, accruals and reserves on the Manager’s books in respect of taxes shall be, in the Manager’s reasonable opinion, adequate.

Section 4.6 Notice of Certain Events. On the determination of either the chief financial officer or the chief legal officer of the Manager or its direct or indirect parent regarding the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) a Manager Termination Event or (b) any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding pending before or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Manager or any of its properties either asserting the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any of the Related Documents, seeking any determination or ruling

that would affect the legality, binding effect, validity or enforceability of any of the Related Documents or which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Manager shall provide written notice to the Trustee, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager, the Master Issuer and the Rating Agencies of the same promptly and in any event within five (5) Business Days .

Section 4.7 Capitalization. The Manager shall have sufficient capital to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement at all times from the Closing Date and until the Indenture has been terminated in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 4.8 Franchise Law Determination. The Manager shall file such documents as are necessary to register as a franchise broker or franchise sales agent as required by any state franchising authority. Upon final determination by any state franchising authority’ that the Manager is considered by such state franchising authority to be a “subfranchisor”, the Manager within 120 days of such determination shall file such documents and take such other compliance actions as are required by such state franchising authority or under such state’s franchise laws.

Section 4.9 Maintenance of Separateness. The Manager covenants that, except as contemplated by the Related Documents:

(a) the books and records of each Securitization Entity will be maintained separately from those of the Manager and each of its Affiliates that is not a Securitization Entity;

(b) all financial statements of the Manager that are consolidated to include any Securitization Entity and that are distributed to any party will contain detailed notes clearly stating that (i) all of such Securitization Entity’s assets are owned by such Securitization Entity and (ii) such Securitization Entity is a separate entity and has creditors who have received interests in the Securitization Entity’s assets;

(c) the Manager will observe (and will cause each of its Affiliates that is not a Securitization Entity to observe) limited liability company or corporate formalities in its dealing with any Securitization Entity;

(d) the Manager shall not (and shall not permit any of its Affiliates that is not a Securitization Entity to) commingle its funds with any funds of any Securitization Entity; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Manager from holding funds of the Securitization Entity in its capacity as manager for such entity in a segregated account identified for such purpose;

(e) the Manager will (and shall cause each of its Affiliates that is not a Securitization Entity to) maintain arm’s length relationships with each Securitization Entity and each of the Manager and its Affiliates that are not Securitization Entities will be compensated at market rates for any services it renders or otherwise furnishes to such Securitization Entity;

(f) the Manager will not be, and will not hold itself out to be, responsible for the debts of any Securitization Entity or the decisions or actions in respect of the daily business and affairs of any Securitization Entity and the Manager will not permit any Securitization Entity to hold the Manager out to be responsible for the debts of such Securitization Entity or the decisions or actions in respect of the daily business and affairs of such Securitization Entity; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit DPL, in its individual capacity, from acting as co-obligor with respect to the leases related to the Leased Domestic Manufacturing and Distribution Centers where required by such leases; and

(g) upon an officer of the Manager obtaining actual knowledge that any of the foregoing provisions in this Section 4.9 hereof has been breached or violated in any material respect, the Manager will take such actions as may be reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to correct and remedy such breach or violation as soon as reasonably practicable under such circumstances.

Section 4.10 No ERISA Plan. Neither the Manager nor any corporation or any trade, business, organization or other entity (whether or not incorporated), that would be treated together with the Manager as a single employer under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code or Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA shall establish, maintain, contribute to, incur any obligation to contribute to, or incur any liability in respect of, any Plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA.

the Control Party, acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative, may waive such Manager Termination Event or (ii) the Master Issuer or the Control Party, acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative, may, by notice given to the Manager (with copies to the Trustee, the Back-Up Manager and the Rating Agencies and to whichever of the Master Issuer and the Control Party has not provided such notice), direct the Trustee to terminate all of the rights, powers, duties, obligations and responsibilities of the Manager under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all rights of the Manager to receive all or a portion of the management compensation provided for in Section 2.7 or any expense reimbursement hereunder, other than to the extent accrued prior to such termination and not previously paid. Upon any termination or the giving of the notice referred to in the preceding sentence, the Manager shall promptly notify the Master Issuer, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Back-Up Manager of such notice and the rights, powers, duties, obligations and responsibilities of the Manager under this Agreement to the extent specified in such notice, whether with respect to the Managed Assets, the Collection Account, any Weekly Management Fee, Weekly Canadian Management Fee, Supplemental Management Fee (other than to the extent accrued prior to such termination and not previously paid) or otherwise shall vest in and be assumed by any Successor Manager appointed by the Control Party. No termination or resignation of the Manager shall become effective until a Successor Manager whose appointment has been directed and approved by the Control Party (acting at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative) shall have assumed the rights, powers, duties, obligations and responsibilities of the Manager. The Manager shall cooperate with the Successor Manager to facilitate such transition, shall execute and deliver any instrument as shall reasonably be necessary for such transition, and shall use best efforts to promptly assign and transfer to the Successor Manager all books and records, property, money and other assets held by such Manager hereunder; provided, however, that the Manager shall have access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to all books and records that the Manager reasonably believes would be necessary or desirable for the Manager in connection with the preparation of any tax or other governmental reports and filings and other uses.

(c) From and during the continuation of a Manager Termination Event where the rights and powers of the Manager have been terminated, each Securitization Entity and the Trustee (at the direction of the Control Party) are hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Manager, as attorney in fact or otherwise, all documents and other instruments (including any notices to Franchisees deemed necessary or advisable by the Master Issuer, the Franchisors or the Control Party), and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate, to effect such vesting and assumption.

(d) Notice of Manager Termination Event. Promptly after the occurrence of any Manager Termination Event pursuant to Section 6.1(a), the Manager shall transmit notice of such Manager Termination Event to the Control Party and the Trustee, with a copy to each Rating Agency and the Back-Up Manager.

(e) Continuation of Supplied Products and Services. Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Manager Termination Event, DPL will remain obligated to provide Supplied Products and Services to the Product Supply Entities and will retain the right to receive compensation for such services.

Section 6.2 Disentanglement.

(a) Obligations. The Manager is required to cooperate with the Back-Up Manager in the performance of the Back-up Manager’s Cold Back-Up Management Duties and Warm Back-Up Management Duties. Upon termination of the Manager following a Manager Termination Event, the Manager shall (i) cooperate with the Back-Up Manager in the conduct of the Hot Back-Up Management Duties and the implementation of the Transition Plan until a Successor Manager is identified and (ii) accomplish a complete transition to the Successor Manager, without interruption or adverse impact on the provision of Services (the “Disentanglement”). Thereafter, the Manager shall cooperate fully with the Successor Manager and otherwise promptly take all actions required to assist in effecting a complete Disentanglement and shall follow any directions that may be provided by the Control Party or the Back-Up Manager. The Manager shall provide all information and assistance regarding the terminated Services required for Disentanglement, including data conversion and migration, interface specifications and related professional services. The Manager shall provide for the prompt and orderly conclusion of all work as the Servicer and the Back-Up Manager may direct, including completion or partial completion of projects, documentation of all work in progress, and other measures to assure an orderly transition to the Successor Manager. All services relating to Disentanglement (“Disentanglement Services”), including all reasonable training for personnel of the Back-Up Manager, the 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. The Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts to utilize existing resources to perform the Disentanglement Services.

(b) Charges for Disentanglement Services. So long as the Manager and the Canadian Manufacturer continue to provide the Services (whether or not the Manager has been terminated as Manager or the services of the Canadian Manufacturer have been terminated hereunder) during the Disentanglement Period, the Manager and the Canadian Manufacturer shall continue to be paid their respective compensation set forth in Section 2.7. Upon the Successor Manager’s assumption of the obligation to perform all Services hereunder, the Manager shall be entitled to reimbursement of its actual costs for the provision of any Disentanglement Services.

(c) Duration of Disentanglement Obligations. The Manager’s obligation to provide Disentanglement Services will continue during the period (the “Disentanglement Period”) commencing on the date that a Manager Termination Event occurs and ending on the date on which the Successor Manager or the re-engaged Manager shall assume all of the obligations of the Manager hereunder.

(d) Sub-Management Arrangements; Authorizations.

(i) With respect to each Sub-Management Arrangement and unless the Control Party elects to terminate such Sub-Management Arrangement in accordance with Section 2.12 hereof, the Manager will:

(A) assign to the Successor Manager or its designated alternate service provider all of the Manager’s rights under such Sub-Management Arrangement to which it is party used by the Manager in performance of the transitioned Services; and

(B) procure any third party authorizations necessary to grant the Successor Manager or its 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.

(ii) If the Control Party elects to terminate such Sub-Management Arrangement in accordance with Section 2.12 hereof, the Manager will take all reasonable actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Control Party to accomplish a complete transition of the Services performed by a Sub-manager under the applicable Sub-Management Arrangement to the Successor Manager, or to any alternate service provider designated by the Control Party, without interruption or adverse impact on the provision of Services.

(e) Confidential Information. The Manager will comply with the terms of ARTICLE 7 relating to the return and destruction of Confidential Information.

(f) Third-Party Intellectual Property. The Manager will assist the Successor Manager or its designated alternate service provider in obtaining any necessary licenses or consents to use any third-party Intellectual Property then being used by the Manager or any Sub-manager, including pursuant to the DPL IP License Agreement. The Manager will assign any such license or sublicense directly to the Successor Manager or its designated alternate service provider to the extent the Manager has the necessary rights to assign such agreements to the Successor Manager or its designated alternate service provider without incurring any additional cost.

(g) License to Use Domino’s IP. Promptly following the occurrence of a Manager Termination Event and the appointment of a Successor Manager, the IP Holder will enter into a license agreement with such Successor Manager with respect to the Domino’s IP on substantially the same terms as the DPL IP License Agreement.

Section 6.3 No Effect on Other Parties. Upon any termination of the rights and powers of the Manager from time to time pursuant to Section 6.1, or a resignation pursuant to Section 4.4(b), upon any appointment of a Successor Manager, all the rights, powers, duties, obligations and responsibilities of the Securitization Entities, the Control Party or the Trustee under this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Related Documents shall remain unaffected by such termination or appointment and shall remain in full force and effect thereafter, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in the Indenture.

Section 6.4 Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies from time to time conferred upon or reserved to the Securitization Entities, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Control Party, the Back-Up Manager or the Noteholders or to any or all of the foregoing are cumulative, and none is intended to be exclusive of another or any other right or remedy which they may have at law or in equity. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no delay or omission in insisting upon the strict observance or performance of any provision of this Agreement, or in exercising any right or remedy, shall be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of such provision, nor shall it impair such right or remedy. Every right and remedy may be exercised from time to time and as often as deemed expedient.

ARTICLE 7

CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 7.1 Confidentiality.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge that during the term of this Agreement each party may receive Confidential Information from another party hereto. Each party 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”, who have been apprised of this restriction. Recipient shall be liable for any breach of this Section 7.1(a) by any of its employees or representatives and shall immediately notify Discloser in the event of any loss or disclosure of any Confidential Information of Discloser. Upon termination of this Agreement, Recipient will return to Discloser, or at Discloser’s request, destroy, all documents and records in its possession containing the Confidential Information of Discloser. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is already known to Recipient without

restriction on use or disclosure prior to receipt of such information from Discloser; (ii) is or becomes part of the public domain other than by breach of this Agreement by, or other wrongful act of, Recipient; (iii) is developed by Recipient independently of and without reference to any Confidential Information; (iv) is received by Recipient from a third party who is not under any obligation to Discloser to maintain the confidentiality of such information; or (v) is required to be disclosed by applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, subpoena, court order or legal process; provided that 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.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.1(a), the Securitization Entities, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager or the Noteholders may use, disseminate or disclose any Confidential Information to any person or entity in connection with the enforcement of rights of the Securitization Entities, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager or the Noteholders under the Indenture or the Related Documents; provided, however, that prior to disclosing any such Confidential Information:

(i) to any such person or entity other than in connection with any judicial or regulatory proceeding, such person or entity 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); or

(ii) to any such person or entity in connection with any judicial or regulatory proceeding, the Recipient will (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 mandatory applicable law to disclose any part of Discloser’s Confidential Information which is disclosed to it under this Agreement, the Recipient may disclose such Confidential Information without liability under this Agreement, except that the Recipient will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required.

ARTICLE 8

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 8.1 Term of this Agreement. The respective duties and obligations of the Manager and the Securitization Entities created by this Agreement shall terminate upon the final payment or other liquidation of the last outstanding Managed Asset included in the Collateral or, as long as no Notes are Outstanding and the Indenture has been satisfied and discharged pursuant to Article XII of the Base Indenture, upon written agreement by the parties to this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1, the Manager shall pay over to the applicable Securitization Entity or any other Person entitled thereto all proceeds of the Managed Assets held by the Manager. The provisions of Section 2.8 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.2 Amendments to this Agreement.

(a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time in writing by the parties to this Agreement; provided that (i) any amendment that could reasonably materially adversely affect the interest of the Noteholders shall require the consent of the Control Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) with the consent of the Control Party, a Securitization Entity may be withdrawn from this Agreement if the Equity Interests of such Securitization Entity are foreclosed upon in the exercise of remedies upon an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent of the Control Party shall be required:

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

(ii) to add to the duties or covenants of the Manager or Canadian Manufacturer 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 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 Indenture or any other Related Document, or to correct or supplement any provision herein that may be inconsistent with the terms of the Indenture or any offering memorandum;

(iv) to evidence the succession of another Person to any party to this Agreement;

(v) to comply with Requirements of Law;

(vi) to take any action necessary and appropriate to facilitate the origination of Post-Securitization Franchise Arrangements,

the acquisition and management of Manufacturing and Distribution Centers, or the management and preservation of the Franchise Arrangements, in each case, in accordance with the Management Standard;

(vii) to provide for additional Services related to any Company-Owned Stores, provided the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied; or

(viii) to adjust, at the end of any fiscal year, the Product Supply Margin to a percentage not to exceed 15%.

(b) Promptly after the execution of any amendment, the Manager shall send to the Trustee, the Servicer, the Back-Up Manager and each Rating Agency a conformed copy of such amendment, but the failure to do so will not impair or affect its validity.

Section 8.3 Amendments to other Agreements. The Co-Issuers and the Trustee agree not to amend the Indenture or the Related Documents 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 Related Document.

Section 8.4 Acknowledgement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Manager hereby acknowledges that, on the date hereof, the Securitization Entities will pledge to the Trustee under the Indenture and the Global G&C Agreement, all of such Securitization Entities’ right and title to, and interest in, this Agreement and the Collateral; and such pledge includes all of such Securitization Entities’ rights, remedies, powers and privileges, and all claims of such Securitization Entities 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 Entities 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 Entities may do. The Manager hereby consents to such pledges described above, acknowledges and agrees that the Trustee and its assigns and the Control Party, shall be third-party beneficiaries of the rights of such Securitization Entities arising hereunder and agree that the Trustee or the Control Party may enforce the provisions of this Agreement, exercise the rights of such Securitization Entities and enforce the obligations of the Manager hereunder without the consent of the such Securitization Entities.

Section 8.5 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York).

(b) The parties hereto each hereby waive any right to have a jury participate in resolving any dispute, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, arising out of, connected with, relating to or incidental to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) The parties hereto each hereby irrevocably submit (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in the borough of Manhattan, New York City, State of New York, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related documents and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court. 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.

Section 8.6 Notices. All notices, requests or other communications desired or required to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by (a) certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (b) national prepaid overnight delivery service, (c) telecopy or other facsimile transmission (following with hard copies to be sent by national prepaid overnight delivery service) or (d) personal delivery with receipt acknowledged in writing, to the address set forth in the Base Indenture. Any party hereto may change its address for notices hereunder by giving notice of such change to the other parties hereto, with a copy to the Control Party. Any change of address of a Noteholder shown on a Note Register shall, after the date of such change, be effective to change the address for such Noteholder hereunder. All notices and demands shall be deemed to have been given either at the time of the delivery thereof to any officer or manager of the Person entitled to receive such notices and demands at the address of such Person for notices hereunder, or on the third day after the mailing thereof to such address, as the case may be.

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 which 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 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 except for the rights of the third party beneficiaries described in Section 8.4, 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 8.10 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 8.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
