• 14.3.2 Assignment, Death, or Incapacity. If Franchisee shall purport to make any Assignment without the prior written consent of Franchisor; provided, however, that if the Franchised Restaurant continues to be operated in conformity with this Agreement (i) upon prompt written request and upon the death or legal incapacity of a Franchisee who is an individual, Franchisor shall allow up to nine months after such death or legal incapacity for the heirs, personal representatives, or conservators (the "Heirs") of Franchisee either to enter into a new Franchise Agreement upon Franchisor's then- current form (except that no initial franchise fee or transfer fee shall be charged), if Franchisor is subjectively satisfied that the Heirs meet Franchisor's standards and qualifications, or if not so satisfied to allow the Heirs to sell the Franchised Restaurant to a person approved by Franchisor, or (ii) upon prompt written request and upon the death or legal incapacity of an Owner owning twenty percent (20%) or more of the Equity or voting power of a corporate or limited liability company Franchisee, or a general or limited partner owning twenty percent (20%) or more of any of the Partnership Rights of a Franchisee which is a Partnership, Franchisor shall allow a period of up to nine months after such death or legal incapacity for the Heirs to seek and obtain Franchisor's consent to the transfer or Assignment of such stock, membership interests or Partnership Rights to the Heirs or to another person acceptable by Franchisor. If, within said nine-month period, the Heirs fail either to enter into a new franchise agreement or to sell the Franchised Restaurant to a person approved by Franchisor pursuant to this Agreement, or fail either to receive Franchisor's consent to the Assignment of such Equity to the Heirs or to another person acceptable by Franchisor, as provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall thereupon automatically terminate.
• 14.3.3 Repeated Defaults. If Franchisee shall default in any obligation as to which Franchisee has previously received two or more written notices of default from Franchisor setting forth the default complained of within the preceding 12 months, such repeated course of conduct shall itself be grounds for termination of this Agreement without further notice or opportunity to cure.
