If a Del Taco franchisee seeks financing, is Del Taco involved in the process?

U.S. or elsewhere, it is the parties' understanding and agreement that any transfer in Franchisee, Franchisee's obligations and/or rights hereunder, all or substantially all of the assets of the Restaurant, or any indirect or direct interest in Franchisee shall be subject to all of the terms of this Section 12.

12.12 Securities Offerings. All materials for an offering of stock or partnership interests in Franchisee or any of Franchisee's affiliates which are required by federal or state law shall be submitted to Del Taco for review as described below before such materials are filed with any government agency. Any materials to be used in any exempt offering shall be submitted to Del Taco for such review prior to their use. No offering by Franchisee or any of Franchisee's affiliates shall imply (by use of the Proprietary Marks or otherwise) that Del Taco is participating in an underwriting, issuance, or offering of the securities of Franchisee or Franchisee's affiliates; and Del Taco's review of any offering shall be limited solely to the relationship between Del Taco and Franchisee and any subsidiaries and affiliates, if applicable, and shall not constitute any opinion as to any legal requirement. Del Taco may, at its option, require the offering materials to contain a written statement prescribed by Del Taco concerning the limitations stated in the preceding sentence. Franchisee (and the offeror if not Franchisee), the owners, and all other participants in the offering must fully indemnify Del Taco, its subsidiaries, affiliates, successor, and assigns, and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, agents, representatives, servants, and employees in connection with the offering and shall execute any and all documents required by Del Taco to endorse such indemnification. For each proposed offering, Franchisee shall pay Del Taco a non-refundable fee of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) or such greater amount as is necessary to reimburse Del Taco for its reasonable costs and expenses (including legal and accounting fees) for reviewing the proposed offering. Franchisee shall give Del Taco written notice at least thirty (30) days before the date that any offering or other transaction described in this Section 12 commences. Any such offering shall be subject to all of the other provisions of this Section 12; and further, without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any such offering shall be subject to Del Taco's approval as to the structure and voting control of the offeror (and Franchisee, if Franchisee is not the offeror) after the financing is completed.

13. Default and Termination.

• 13.1 Automatic Termination. Franchisee shall be deemed to be in default under this Agreement, and all rights granted herein shall automatically terminate without notice to Franchisee, if Franchisee shall become insolvent or make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or if a petition in bankruptcy is filed by Franchisee or such a petition is filed against and not opposed by Franchisee; or if Franchisee is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; or if a bill in equity or other proceeding for the appointment of a receiver or other custodian for Franchisee's business or assets is filed and consented to by Franchisee; or if a receiver or other custodian (permanent or temporary) of Franchisee's assets or property, or any part thereof, is appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction; or if proceedings for a composition with creditors under any state or federal law should be instituted by or against Franchisee; or if a final judgment of $50,000 or more against Franchisee or Franchisee's affiliate remains unsatisfied or of record for thirty (30) days or longer (unless unappealed or a supersedeas bond is filed);
