(c)        The Operating Observer shall execute and deliver to Borrower a non-disclosure agreement (“NDA”) substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, with such reasonable changes thereto as Operating Observer may request and Borrower may accept (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
