If Licensor, in its reasonable discretion, determines that the SGM Breach was not predominantly caused by factors beyond Licensee’s reasonable control, Licensor shall provide written notice to Licensee confirming that an SGM Breach has occurred within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the SGM Calculation Statement.

A-3

2025 Measurement Condition has been satisfied. Without limitation of Licensor’s rights under Section 8.3 of the Agreement, Licensor and its representatives shall have the right to inspect Licensee’s books and records with respect to the Taco Bell Brand Restaurant Business, upon reasonable notice to Licensee and for purposes reasonably related to the verification of the Taco Bell Investment Report and any information relating thereto.

(b)    If Licensor agrees in writing with the Taco Bell Investment Report as provided by Licensee pursuant to the foregoing clause (a), such Taco Bell Investment Report shall be final and binding and thereafter be known as the “Final Taco Bell Investment Report” for the applicable period. If Licensor does not agree in writing with the Taco Bell Investment Report as provided by Licensee pursuant to the foregoing clause (a) within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof, the Parties shall resolve their dispute with respect thereto pursuant to Article XVII of the Agreement and the Taco Bell Investment Report as finally determined pursuant thereto shall be the “Final Taco Bell Investment Report” for the applicable period.

5.    Investment Payments.

(a)    If there is a NNU Narrow Shortfall for calendar year 2023, 2024 or 2025, Licensee may, at its option, invoke the application of a Grace Period in respect of such calendar year, in which case Licensee’s Taco Bell Investment Report for such calendar year shall measure Net New Units as contemplated by the final sentence of the definition thereof. Within seven (7) Business Days after the determination of the Final Taco Bell Investment Report for each of calendar year 2023, 2024 and 2025 (after giving effect to any applicable Grace Period), and provided that the 2022 Measurement Condition has been satisfied, there has been no Net New Unit Shortfall and Licensee and its Sublicensees are in substantial compliance with the applicable Brand Standards and have exercised commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to comply with such Brand Standards, Licensor shall pay to License an amount equal to (i) the number of Net New Units for the applicable calendar year, after giving effect to any applicable Grace Period, as set forth in the applicable Final Taco Bell Investment Report, multiplied by, (ii) the applicable Net New Unit Investment Amount, in each case in respect of the period covered in such Final Taco Bell Investment Report, after giving effect to any applicable Grace Period. Such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Licensee, such designation to be made in writing to Licensor no later than three (3) Business Days after the determination of the Final Taco Bell Investment Report for the applicable period.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the amount Licensor is obligated to pay Licensee pursuant to Section 2 of this Exhibit A-1, together with the amount Licensor is obligated to pay Licensee pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Exhibit A-1, exceed the Aggregate Investment Cap.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and for the avoidance of doubt, there will be no double counting of Net New Units across measurement periods.

A-4

6.    Qualifying Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Licensee may operate mobile or temporary units, pop-up stores, vending machines or similar units as Taco Bell Restaurants, but such units will not count toward Net New Units or toward satisfaction of the 2022 Measurement Condition or 2025 Measurement Condition.
