business days prior to the Commencement Date (current supplier lists shall

suppliers to whom Friday's consents. Franchisee may submit to Friday's a
written request for consent to use other suppliers, or shall request the
supplier itself to do so. As a condition of its consent, Friday's shall be

proposed to be acquired, which shall be delivered, at Friday's option, to
Friday's or to an independent laboratory designated by Friday's for testing.

services sold in the Restaurant.

all respects to the terms hereof;

distribution and sale, of any and all trademarks, trade names, service marks,
logos, insignia, trade dress, slogans, emblems, symbols, designs and other
identifying characteristics as may be developed or used from time to time by
Friday's.

10.      ADVERTISING

         10.01 Franchisee recognizes (i) the value of advertising and (ii)
that standardized advertising programs enhance the goodwill and public image
of the System.

                  A. Franchisee shall expend not less than two percent (2%)
of Gross Sales, measured over continuing six (6) month periods, for local
advertising. Franchisee's local advertising may utilize media to which
Friday's has granted consent including:

                           (1)     newspapers, magazines and other
periodicals;

                           (2)     radio/ television;

                           (3)     outdoor advertising (E.G., billboards or
signs);

                           (4)     transit advertising and direct mail; and

                           (5)     such other media to which Friday's consents.

<PAGE>

                  B.  Franchisee, at its expense, shall obtain listings in
bold type in the white pages directory of the local public telephone company
under the names "Friday's-Registered Trademark-" and "T.G.I.
Friday's-Registered Trademark-". Franchisee shall also participate in and pay
its PRO RATA share of the cost of yellow pages advertising placed by Friday's
on behalf of all other local System franchisees and T.G.I.
Friday's-Registered Trademark- Restaurants. If no other T.G.I.
Friday's-Registered Trademark- Restaurants are located within Franchisee's
local area, Franchisee, at its expense, shall obtain display type
advertisements in the yellow pages directory of the local public telephone
company.

                  C.  Franchisee's expenditures made for participation in
(i) advertising and promotional programs described in Section 10.01.B and
10.03; (ii) Friday's national and/or regional advertising funds described in
Section 10.02.A (to the extent in excess of two percent (2%) of monthly Gross
Sales); and (iii) the cost of promotional food and beverages given to
customers (in an amount not to exceed thirty percent (30%) of the retail
price thereof), shall be credited to Franchisee's local advertising
obligations described in Section 10.01.A. Friday's may audit Franchisee's
books and records to confirm local advertising expenditures.

           10.02  A.  Friday's shall have the right to establish national
and/or regional advertising funds. If established, Franchisee agrees to pay
Friday's on a monthly basis, in addition to any payments required under
Section 10.01.A, a sum to be determined by Friday's, which sum for any
national or regional fund shall not exceed four percent (4%) of monthly Gross
Sales. If both regional and national advertising funds are established,
Franchisee's total contribution shall not exceed four percent (4%) of monthly
Gross Sales. All contributions to national or regional advertising funds in
excess of two percent (2%) of Gross Sales shall be credited to Franchisee's
local advertising obligations described in Section 10.01.A.

                  B.  Friday's or its designee shall (i) administer such
funds and (ii) direct all national and regional advertising programs and
shall have sole discretion to consent to or reject all creative concepts,
materials and media and the placement and allocation thereof. Friday's shall
not be a fiduciary to Franchisee with respect to the management of such
funds. Friday's and its designees undertake no obligation to (a) make
expenditures in the area where the Restaurant is located which are equivalent
or proportionate to Franchisee's contribution or (b) insure that any
particular franchisee benefits directly or PRO RATA from the placement of
such advertising. Such funds may be applied to Friday's costs of maintaining,
administering, directing and preparing national or regional advertising
(including, without limitation, marketing research, public relations
activities, marketing programs and initiatives including but not limited to
guest membership programs, and employing advertising agencies to assist
therein); provided, however, that such funds shall not be used to defray
Friday's general operating expenses (except reasonable administrative costs
and overhead related to the administration or direction of such funds and
programs). Such funds shall be maintained in a separate account and an annual
statement of fund expenditures shall be delivered to Franchisee upon request.

         10.03  In addition to the national and regional advertising
described in Section 10.02, Friday's may from time to time develop and
administer advertising, marketing and sales promotion programs in which
Franchisee shall participate upon such terms and conditions as established by
Friday's. Such programs may include, but not be limited to, guest membership
programs. All phases of such advertising and promotion, including, without
limitation, type, quantity, timing, placement, and choice of media, market
areas, promotional programs and advertising agencies, shall be determined by
Friday's.

         10.04  All advertising and promotion by Franchisee shall conform to
the Standards. Franchisee

<PAGE>

shall submit all advertising and promotional plans and materials to Friday's
for consent prior to use if such plans and materials were not prepared by
Friday's or previously consented to during the prior twelve (12) months.
Friday's shall consent to or reject such plans and materials within twenty
(20) days of receipt. Franchisee shall not use such plans or materials until
Friday's consent is received. Franchisee shall promptly discontinue any
advertising or promotional plans or materials, whether or not previously
consented to, upon notice from Friday's.

11.      INSURANCE

         11.01  Franchisee shall obtain, at least thirty (30) days prior to
commencement of Restaurant construction and maintain throughout the Term,
such insurance coverage (including, without limitation, broad form
comprehensive general liability coverage, products liability coverage, broad
form contractual liability coverage, liquor liability coverage, auto

additional insured party against whom a claim is brought as though a separate
policy had been issued to each Friday's Indemnitee;

                B.  contain no provision which limits or reduces coverage
in the event of a claim by any one (1) or more of the insured or additional
insured parties;

                C.  provide that policy limits shall not be reduced, coverage
restricted, canceled, allowed to lapse or otherwise altered or such
policy(ies) amended without Friday's consent, but in no event upon less than
thirty (30) days prior written notice to Friday's;

                D.  be obtained from reputable insurance companies with an
A.M. Best Rating of "A" and an A.M. Best Class Rating of XIV (or comparable
ratings from a reputable insurance rating service, in the event such
A.M. Best ratings are discontinued or materially altered), authorized to do
business in the jurisdiction in which the Restaurant is located; and

                E.  be in an amount and form satisfactory to Friday's; but in
no event in amounts less than the following:

                    (1)  comprehensive general liability insurance,
including product and liquor liability coverage, with a combination of
primary and excess limits of not less than Ten Million Dollars

occurrence and Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) for each
occurrence of property damage;

                    (3)  employer's liability insurance with a limit of not

<PAGE>

                    (4)  workers compensation insurance in such amount as may
be required by applicable statute or rule.

         11.02  Such insurance may provide for reasonable deductible amounts
with Friday's consent.

         11.03  A certificate of insurance shall be submitted for Friday's
consent prior to the commencement of construction of the Restaurant, and
additional certificates of insurance shall be submitted to Friday's
thereafter, evidencing uninterrupted coverage. Franchisee shall deliver a
complete copy of such policy(ies) within ten (10) days of request.

         11.04  In the event of a claim of any one or more of the Friday's
Indemnitees against Franchisee, Franchisee shall, on request of Friday's,
assign to Friday's any and all rights which Franchisee then has or thereafter
may have with respect to such claim against the insurer(s) providing the
coverages described in this Section.

         11.05  Franchisee's obligation to obtain and maintain insurance or
to indemnify any Friday's Indemnitee shall not be limited by reason of any
insurance which may be maintained by any Friday's Indemnitee, nor shall such
insurance relieve Franchisee of any liability under this Agreement.
Franchisee's insurance shall be primary to any policies maintained by any
Friday's Indemnitee.

         11.06  If Franchisee fails to obtain or maintain the insurance
required by this Agreement, as such requirements may be revised from time to
time, Friday's may acquire such insurance, and the cost thereof, together
with a reasonable fee for Friday's expenses in so acting and interest at
eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date acquired, shall be payable by
Franchisee upon notice.

12.      ACCOUNTING AND RECORDS

         12.01  Franchisee shall prepare in accordance with the System and
generally accepted accounting principles, and preserve for the periods
specified in the Manuals, complete and accurate books, records and accounts

Friday's shall prescribe.

         12.02  Franchisee shall submit to Friday's (i) a monthly accounting
of Gross Sales simultaneously with the Payment of the Royalty Fee therefor
and (ii) an annual accounting of Gross Sales within thirty (30) days after
the end of each accounting year.

         12.03  Franchisee shall submit to Friday's such additional reports,

limitation, periodic guest counts, weekly and monthly sales reports and
quarterly and annual statements of profit and loss for the Restaurant and
quarterly and annual financial statements and statements of Franchisee's
Gross Sales, showing itemized deductions and exclusions from Gross Sales for
the Restaurant) as Friday's may reasonably require or as specified from time
to time in the Manuals in a form reasonably required. Friday's may inspect,
copy and audit all of the documents and information specified in
Sections 12.01, 12.02 and 12.03 and the books, records and tax returns of
Franchisee at any time during normal business hours upon five (5) days prior
notice.

<PAGE>

         12.04  If any audit discloses an (i) understatement of Gross Sales
for the period subject to audit of one percent (1%) or more or

such Royalty Fee and interest, as provided for in Section 3.02.B) any and all
costs and expenses incurred in connection with such audit including, without
limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, Territorial Expenses and Wage
Expenses.

         12.05  The annual accounting of Gross Sales required in

Franchisee's chief financial officer to the effect that such statements or
reports fairly and accurately reflect the matters reported therein and are
complete and correct.

13.      FRANCHISEE'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; AFFIRMATIVE AND NEGATIVE
         COVENANTS

         13.01  In the event Franchisee is a corporation, limited liability
company or partnership, Franchisee represents and warrants to Friday's as
follows:

                A.  Franchisee is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with all

business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which its business
or the ownership of its assets requires.

                B.  The execution, delivery and performance by Franchisee of
this Agreement and all other agreements contemplated herein has been duly
authorized by all requisite action and no further action is necessary to make
this Agreement or such other agreements valid and binding upon it and
enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms. Neither the
execution, delivery nor performance by Franchisee of this Agreement or any
other agreements contemplated hereby will conflict with, or result in a
breach of any term or provision of Franchisee's articles of incorporation,
by-laws, partnership agreement or other governing documents or under any
mortgage, deed of trust or other contract or agreement to which Franchisee is
a party or by which it or any of its assets are bound, or breach any order,
writ, injunction or decree of any court, administrative agency or
governmental body.

                C.  Franchisee's articles of incorporation, by-laws,
partnership agreement and other governing documents expressly limit
Franchisee's business activities solely to the development and operation
(pursuant to the Development Agreement and this Agreement or other franchise
agreements with Friday's) of "Restaurants" (as defined in the Development
Agreement).

                D.  Certified copies of Franchisee's articles of
incorporation, by-laws, partnership agreement, other governing documents and
any amendments thereto, including board of director's or partner's
resolutions authorizing this Agreement, have been delivered to Friday's.

                E.  A certified current list of all Principals has been
delivered to Friday's.

                F.  Franchisee's articles of incorporation or other governing
documents, or partnership agreement limit Transfers as described in Sections
14.02 and 14.03.

<PAGE>

                G.  Each Security shall bear a legend (in a form to which
Friday's has granted consent) indicating that any Transfer is subject to
Sections 14.02 and 14.03.

         13.02  Franchisee affirmatively covenants with Friday's as follows:

                A.  Franchisee shall perform its duties and obligations
hereunder and shall require each Operator, Multi-Unit Manager, Project
Manager and Restaurant Manager to dedicate their respective full time and
best efforts to the development, construction, management, operation,
supervision and promotion of the Restaurant in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof.

                B.  Franchisee shall promptly provide Friday's with all
information concerning any new process or improvements in the development,
construction, management, operation, supervision or promotion of the
Restaurant developed by Franchisee or any Principal without compensation.
Franchisee and the Principals shall each execute such agreements and other
documentation as shall be deemed necessary by Friday's, granting Friday's
exclusive ownership thereof.

                C.  Franchisee shall comply with all requirements of
applicable rules, regulations, statutes, laws, and ordinances.

                D.  Franchisee shall maintain a current list of all
Principals and deliver a certified copy thereof to Friday's upon (i) any
Transfer or (ii) request.

                E.  Each Security issued subsequent to the date hereof shall
be in compliance with Section 13.01.G.

         13.03  Franchisee acknowledges to and/or negatively covenants with
Friday's as follows:

                A.  Franchisee shall not amend its articles of incorporation,
by-laws, partnership agreement or other governing documents in a manner which
is inconsistent with Sections 13.01.C, 14.02 and 14.03.

                B.  Franchisee shall not remove or permit removal from any
Security or its partnership agreement, or issue any Security that does not
have endorsed upon it, the legend described in Section 13.01.G.

                C.  Franchisee and each Principal shall receive valuable,
unique training, trade secrets and the Confidential Information which are
beyond the present skills, experience and knowledge of Franchisee, any
Principal and Franchisee's employees. Franchisee and each Principal
acknowledge (i) that such training, trade secrets and the Confidential
Information (a) are essential to the development of the Restaurant and
(b) provides a competitive advantage to Franchisee and (ii) access to such
training, trade secrets and the Confidential Information is a primary reason
for their execution of this Agreement. In consideration thereof, Franchisee
and each Principal covenant that, during the Term and for a period of one (1)
year after the expiration or termination hereof, neither Franchisee nor any
Principal shall, directly or indirectly:

                    (1)  employ or seek to employ any person (or induce such
person to leave his or her employment) who is, or has within one (1) year
been, employed (i) by Friday's; (ii) by any developer or franchisee of
Friday's; or (iii) in any other concept or system owned, operated or
franchised

<PAGE>

by an Affiliate, as a director, officer or in any managerial capacity;

                    (2)  own, maintain, operate or have any interest in any
Competing Business;

                    (3)  own, maintain, operate or have any interest in any
Competing Business which business is, or is intended to be, located in the
county in which the Restaurant is located; or

                    (4)  own, maintain, operate or have any interest in any
Competing Business which business is, or is intended to be, located within
a three (3) mile radius of any restaurant which is a part of any concept or
system owned, operated, or franchised by Friday's or any Affiliate.

                D.  Sections 13.03 C.(2), (3) and (4) shall not apply to an
interest for investment only of five percent (5%) or less of the capital
stock of a Publicly-Held Entity if such owner is not a director, officer or
manager therefor or consultant thereto.

         13.04  Each of the foregoing covenants is independent of each other
covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.

         13.05  Friday's may, in its sole discretion, reduce the area,
duration or scope of any covenant contained in Section 13.03.C without
Franchisee's or any Principal's consent, effective upon notice to Franchisee.
Franchisee and each Principal shall comply with any covenant as so modified.

         13.06  Franchisee's representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements herein are continuing representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements, each of which shall survive the expiration or termination hereof.

14.      TRANSFER

         14.01  Friday's may assign this Agreement, or any of its rights or
obligations herein, to any person or entity without Franchisee's or any
Principal's consent; provided, however, that Friday's obligations which are
assigned shall be fully assumed by the party to whom Friday's assigns such
obligations.

         14.02  A.  Franchisee and each Principal acknowledge that
Franchisee's rights and obligations herein are personal to Franchisee and
that Friday's has entered into this Agreement relying upon the business
skill, experience and aptitude, financial resources and reputation of
Franchisee and each Principal. Therefore, neither Franchisee nor any
Principal, their respective successors or permitted assigns, shall complete,
or allow to be completed, any Transfer without Friday's consent. Any
purported Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, without Friday's
consent shall be null and void and constitute an Event of Default.

                B.  Friday's may require satisfaction of any of the following
conditions and such other conditions as Friday's may reasonably require prior
to consenting to any Transfer, each of which Franchisee acknowledges and
agrees is reasonable and necessary:

                    (1)  no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and no event shall have occurred which, with the giving of
notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default;

<PAGE>

                    (2)  Franchisee and/or any affected Principal shall
deliver a general release of any and all claims against the Friday's
Indemnitees including, without limitation, claims arising under this
Agreement, in a form acceptable to Friday's;

                    (3)  Franchisee and/or any affected Principal shall
remain liable for the performance of its obligations, covenants and
agreements herein through the date of Transfer and shall execute all
instruments reasonably requested by Friday's to evidence such liability;

                    (4)  the transferee and all Transferee Owners, as
applicable, shall (i) make each of Franchisee's and Principal's
representations and warranties; (ii) assume full, unconditional, joint and
several liability for, and agree to perform from the date of Transfer, each
of Franchisee's and Principal's obligations, covenants and agreements herein;
and (iii) execute all instruments (in a form acceptable to Friday's)
reasonably requested by Friday's to evidence the foregoing;

                    (5)  the transferee and all Transferee Owners shall
satisfy, in Friday's reasonable judgment, Friday's then existing criteria for
T.G.I. Friday's-Registered Trademark- franchisees or principals, as
applicable including, without limitation: (i) education; (ii) business skill,
experience and aptitude; (iii) character and reputation; and (iv) financial
resources;

                    (6)  the transferee and all Transferee Owners shall
execute (without extending the Term) the standard form of franchise
agreement then being offered to new System franchisees or other form of this
Agreement as Friday's requests and such other ancillary agreements as
Friday's may request for the operation of the Restaurant, which shall
supersede this Agreement and its ancillary documents and the terms of which
may differ from the terms hereof including, without limitation, higher
Franchise and Royalty Fees and advertising contributions; provided, however,
that the transferee shall not be required to pay an initial Franchise Fee;

                    (7)  the transferee at its expense shall repair or
replace Restaurant equipment, signs, interior and exterior decor items,
fixtures and furnishings and shall offer such products and services such that
Restaurant appearance and operations reflect the current Standards and image
of the System; and

                    (8)  at the transferee's expense, the transferee's
Representative, any Multi-Unit Manager(s), Operator, Project Manager and
Restaurant Managers shall complete such training as then required (if not
previously trained pursuant to the terms hereof), upon such terms and
conditions as Friday's may reasonably require.

                C.  In the event Franchisee requests Friday's consent to any
proposed Transfer, there shall be paid to Friday's a non-refundable fee of
Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), or such greater amount as is necessary to
reimburse Friday's for its costs and expenses associated with reviewing the
proposed Transfer including, without limitation, Territorial Expenses, legal
and accounting fees and diversion of employee resources. No such fee shall be
payable with respect to a transaction with Friday's described in Section
14.03.

         14.03  Franchisee and each Principal agree that:

                A.  (i) Friday's shall have and is hereby granted a right of
first refusal with respect to any Transfer; (ii) should Franchisee and/or any
Principal desire to accept a BONA FIDE offer to make a Transfer, such party
shall promptly notify Friday's thereof and shall provide such information and

<PAGE>

documents relating thereto as Friday's may require; (iii) within thirty (30)
days after receipt of such notice, information and documents, Friday's may
notify such party that it intends to exercise its right of first refusal with
regard to such Transfer upon such terms and conditions; provided, however,
that such transaction shall be consummated within a reasonable period of time
after Friday's has given such notice; (iv) any material change in the terms
of any offer or any change in the identity of the proposed transferee shall
constitute a new offer subject to Friday's right of first refusal; and
(v) Friday's failure to exercise such right shall not constitute a waiver of
any other provision of this Agreement, including such right with respect to
future offers; and

                B.  in the event such offer provides for payment of
consideration other than cash, Friday's may elect to purchase the interest
for the reasonable equivalent in cash. If the parties cannot agree within
thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice of Friday's election to exercise
such right of first refusal on such reasonable equivalent in cash, an
independent appraiser designated by Friday's shall determine such amount, and
his determination shall be final and binding. If Friday's elects to exercise
the right of first refusal described above, the cost of the appraisal, if
any, shall be set off against any payment made by Friday's hereunder.

         14.04  In the event Franchisee or any Principal is a natural person,
Franchisee or his administrator, executor, guardian or personal
representative shall promptly notify Friday's of the death or Permanent
Disability of Franchisee or such Principal. Any Transfer upon death or
Permanent Disability shall be subject to the terms and conditions described
in Sections 14.02 and 14.03 and shall be completed prior to a date which is
(i) one (1) year after the date of death or (ii) ninety (90) days after the
date Franchisee or such Principal becomes, or is deemed to be, Permanently
Disabled. Franchisee or any Principal refusing to submit to examination with
respect to Permanent Disability shall be deemed Permanently Disabled.

         14.05  Friday's consent to any Transfer shall not constitute a
waiver of (i) any claims it may have against the transferor or (ii) the
transferee's compliance with the terms and conditions hereof.

15.      CONSENT AND WAIVER

         15.01  When required, Franchisee or any Principal shall make written
request for Friday's consent in advance and such consent shall be obtained in
writing. Neither Friday's nor Franchisee's consent shall be unreasonably
withheld. The foregoing not withstanding, where either party's consent is
expressly reserved to such party's sole discretion, the exercise of such
discretion shall not be subject to contest.

         15.02  FRIDAY'S MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES UPON WHICH
FRANCHISEE OR ANY PRINCIPAL MAY RELY AND ASSUMES NO LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION
TO FRANCHISEE, ANY PRINCIPAL OR ANY THIRD PARTY BY PROVIDING ANY WAIVER,
ADVICE, CONSENT OR SERVICES TO FRANCHISEE OR DUE TO ANY DELAY OR DENIAL
THEREOF.

16.      DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

         16.01  A.  The following shall constitute Events of Default by
Franchisee and the Principals: (i) failure to (a) commence or complete
construction of the Restaurant or (b) open and thereafter continually operate
the Restaurant, as described herein; (ii) the breach or falsity of any
representation or warranty herein; (iii) failure to deliver executed
covenants as required in Section 8.05;

<PAGE>

of any term or provision of Sections 13 or 14); (vi) failure to make any
Payment on or before the date payable; (vii) failure to meet and/or maintain
the Standards; (viii) Franchisee (a) is adjudicated, or is, bankrupt or

protection from creditors by petition in bankruptcy or otherwise or there is
filed against Franchisee a similar petition which is not dismissed within
thirty (30) days; (ix) the appointment of a liquidator or receiver for
(a) all or substantially all of Franchisee's assets or (b) the Restaurant is
sought which is not dismissed within thirty (30) days; (x) breach or failure
to perform any other term or condition of this Agreement; (xi) Franchisee or
any Principal pleads guilty or no contest to or is convicted of a felony or a
crime involving moral turpitude or any other crime or offense that Friday's
reasonably believes is likely to adversely affect the Proprietary Marks, the
System or the goodwill associated therewith or Friday's interest therein; or
(xii) any (a) two (2) or more Events of Default shall arise under any single
subsection of this Section 16.01 or (b) three (3) or more Events of Default
shall arise under this Section 16.01 in any continuous twelve (12) month
period notwithstanding the previous cure of such Events of Default.

                B.  The parties agree that an Event of Default arising under
Section 16.01.A.(i), (iii), (iv) [with respect to Events of Default arising,
without limitation, under Sections 9.01 through 9.03, inclusive, and 13.03.C],
(v), (vi), (viii), (ix), (xi), or (xii) shall constitute a Material Event of
Default. The parties further agree that Events of Default committed by
Franchisee or any Principal arising under other Sections of this Agreement
may also be deemed to be Material Events of Default.

                C.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Franchisee
or any Principal, Friday's may exercise one or more of the following remedies
or such other remedies as may be available at law or in equity:

                    (1)  cure such Event of Default at Franchisee's expense
and, in connection therewith, Franchisee (i) hereby grants to Friday's all
rights and powers necessary or appropriate to accomplish such cure; (ii) shall
indemnify and hold the Friday's Indemnitees harmless from and against all
costs, expenses (including reasonable fees of attorneys and other engaged
professionals), liabilities, claims, demands and causes of action (including
actions of third parties) incurred by or alleged against any Friday's
Indemnitee in connection with Friday's cure; and (iii) shall reimburse or pay
such costs or damages within ten (10) days of receipt of Friday's invoice
therefor;

                    (2)  in the event of a Material Event of Default, upon
notice to Franchisee, terminate this Agreement and all rights granted
hereunder without waiving any (i) claim for damages suffered by Friday's or
(ii) other rights, remedies or claims (no notice of termination shall be
required with regard to a Material Event of Default under Sections
16.01.A.(viii) or (ix)); or

                    (3)  with respect to an Event of Default arising from a
breach of the covenant contained in Section 13.03.C.(1), the affected
former employer shall be compensated by the breaching party (and Franchisee
shall be additionally liable for breaches by any Principal) for the
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such employer in connection with
training such employee. Franchisee and each Principal acknowledge that such
expenses are impossible to accurately quantify and agree that, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to such employee's annual rate
of compensation in the final twelve (12) months of employment (or an
annualized rate if employed for a shorter period) by such former employer
shall be paid by the breaching party to the former employer at such time as
such employee commences employment.

<PAGE>

                D.  Friday's shall not exercise any remedies available
hereunder with respect to the following described Events of Default unless
such Events of Default remain uncured after (i) notice from Friday's thereof
and (ii) the expiration of the following cure periods:

                    (1)  with respect to any Event of Default arising under
Section 16.01.A.(vi) - ten (10) days; or

                    (2)  with respect to any Event of Default arising under
Sections 16.01.A.(i) - (v) inclusive, (vii) and (x) - thirty (30) days.

                E.  If any Events of Default arising under
Sections 16.01.A.(i) - (v) inclusive, (vii) or (x) cannot reasonably be cured
within thirty (30) days, Franchisee shall provide Friday's notice thereof
(together with Franchisee's best estimate of the time period required to
complete such cure) and immediately undertake efforts to cure such default
within the cure period, and continue such efforts with diligence to
completion. In no event, however, shall such cure period be extended without
the prior written consent of Friday's.

                F.  Franchisee and each Principal agree that Friday's
exercise of the rights and remedies set forth herein is reasonable. Friday's
may, in addition to pursuing any other remedies, specifically enforce such
obligations, covenants and agreements or obtain injunctive or other equitable
relief in connection with the violation or anticipated violation of such
obligations, covenants and agreements.

         16.02  A.  The following shall constitute Events of Default by
Friday's: (i) failure to comply with or perform Friday's obligations and
agreements herein or (ii) Friday's (a) is adjudicated, or is, bankrupt or
insolvent; (b) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (c) seeks
protection from creditors by petition in bankruptcy or otherwise or there is
filed against Friday's a similar petition which is not dismissed within
thirty (30) days.

                B.  Upon the occurrence of a Material Event of Default by
Friday's, Franchisee may, upon notice to Friday's, terminate this Agreement
and all rights granted hereunder without waiving any (i) claim for damages
suffered by Franchisee or (ii) other rights, remedies or claims. Any
termination of this Agreement by Franchisee other than as provided in this
Section 16.02 shall be deemed a termination by Franchisee without cause.

                C.  Franchisee shall not exercise any remedies available
hereunder with respect to any Events of Default unless such Events of Default
remain uncured after (i) notice from Franchisee thereof and (ii) the
expiration of thirty (30) days following such notice.

                D.  If any Events of Default cannot reasonably be cured
within thirty (30) days, Friday's shall provide Franchisee notice thereof
(together with Friday's best estimate of the time period required to complete
such cure) and immediately undertake efforts to cure such default within the
cure period, and continue such efforts with diligence to completion. In no
event, however, shall such cure period be extended without the prior written
consent of Franchisee.

         16.03  Subject to the provisions of Section 16.06, all rights and
remedies of either party shall be cumulative, and not exclusive, of any other
right or remedy described herein or available at law or in equity. The
expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not release any party from
any liability or

<PAGE>

obligation then accrued or any liability or obligation continuing beyond, or
arising from, such expiration or termination. Nothing in this Agreement shall
impair either party's right to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief.

         16.04 The failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy or to
enforce any obligation, covenant or agreement herein shall not constitute a
waiver by, or estoppel of, that party's right to any of the remedies
described herein including, without limitation, to enforce strict compliance
with any such obligation, covenant or agreement. No custom or practice shall
modify or amend this Agreement. The waiver of, or failure or inability of any
party to enforce, any right or remedy shall not impair that party's rights or
remedies with respect to subsequent Events of Default of the same, similar or
different nature. The delay, forbearance or failure of any party to exercise
any right or remedy in connection with any Event of Default or default by
other franchisees shall not affect, impair or constitute a waiver of such
party's rights or remedies herein. Acceptance of any Payment shall not waive
any Event of Default.

         16.05 Franchisee and each Principal shall, jointly and severally,
pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of attorneys and other
engaged professionals) incurred by Friday's in successfully enforcing, or
obtaining any remedy arising from the breach of, this Agreement. The
existence of any claims, demands or actions which Franchisee or any Principal
may have against Friday's, whether arising from this Agreement or otherwise,
shall not constitute a defense to Friday's enforcement of Franchisee's or any
Principal's representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations
herein.

         16.06 IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM WHICH IS NOT SUBJECT
TO, NOR ARISES UNDER, SECTION 18, FRIDAY'S, FRANCHISEE AND PRINCIPALS HEREBY
WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO OR CLAIM FOR ANY
PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
(INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, BUT SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDING,
HOWEVER, DAMAGES TO THE REPUTATION AND GOODWILL ASSOCIATED WITH AND/OR
SYMBOLIZED BY THE PROPRIETARY MARKS) AGAINST THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF ANY
CAUSE WHATSOEVER (WHETHER SUCH CAUSE BE BASED IN CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE) AND AGREE THAT EACH SHALL BE LIMITED TO
THE RECOVERY OF ANY ACTUAL DAMAGES SUSTAINED BY IT. IF ANY OTHER TERM OF THIS
AGREEMENT IS FOUND OR DETERMINED TO BE UNCONSCIONABLE OR UNENFORCEABLE FOR
ANY REASON, THE FOREGOING PROVISION SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.

17.      OBLIGATIONS UPON TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION; RENEWAL OPTION

         17.01 Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, (or any
Renewal Franchise Agreement if the renewal option described in Section 17.09
has been exercised), and subject to Section 2.A of the Development Agreement
(if then in effect), Friday's may establish, or authorize others to
establish, T.G.I. Friday's-Registered Trademark- Restaurants in the
Restricted Area.

         17.02 Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, (or any
Renewal Franchise Agreement if the renewal option described in Section 17.09
has been exercised), all rights granted to Franchisee herein shall terminate
and Franchisee shall:

                  A. immediately cease to operate the Restaurant under the
System;

<PAGE>

                  B. immediately cease to use (subject to Franchisee's rights
under other franchise agreements executed pursuant to the Development
Agreement, if then in effect) (i) any Confidential Information; (ii) the
System and the Standards; and (iii) the Proprietary Marks and other
distinctive signs, symbols and devices associated with the System;

                  C. immediately deliver to Friday's all Confidential
Information and all copies thereof (without regard to form or format), and
all records, files, instructions, correspondence, and all other materials
related to operating the Restaurant, retaining copies thereof only as
reasonably required to comply with law; and

                  D. cancel any assumed name or equivalent registration
which contains any of the Proprietary Marks or any other name, service mark
or trademark of Friday's or TGIFM.

         Franchisee shall furnish evidence of compliance with these
obligations within five (5) days after any termination or expiration hereof.

         17.03    A. Franchisee grants to Friday's the option, exercisable by
giving written notice within thirty (30) days after any termination or
expiration of this Agreement, (or any Renewal Franchise Agreement if the
renewal option described in Section 17.09 has been exercised), to acquire (i)
Franchisee's rights and obligations under the Occupancy Contract, or (ii)
Franchisee's right, title, and interest in or to the Site (if Franchisee owns
or possesses such right, title or interest other than rights as a tenant),
together (in each instance) with the Furnishings, at fair market value (based
on the going-concern value as a T.G.I. Friday's-Registered Trademark-
Restaurant), free and clear of all liens, encumbrances or claims, and subject
to such other terms and conditions as are usual and customary for such
acquisitions.

                  B. Without regard to whether Friday's exercises the option
set forth in Section 17.03.A., Franchisee grants to Friday's the further
option, to be exercised by giving written within thirty (30) days after
termination or expiration of this Agreement, (or any Renewal Franchise
Agreement if the renewal option described in Section 17.09 has been
exercised), to purchase all or any portion of the items described in Section
17.04.A (1)-(4) and (5), at fair market value, free and clear of all liens,
encumbrances or claims, and subject to such other terms and conditions as are
usual and customary for such acquisitions.

                  C. If Friday's does not exercise its option under Section
17.03.A, Friday's shall have and is hereby granted a right of first refusal
with respect to the sale by Franchisee of all or any portion of the
Furnishings, Franchisee shall promptly notify Friday's of any proposed sale
of the Furnishings and shall provide such information and documents relating
thereto as Friday's may require. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of
such notice, information and documents, Friday's may notify Franchisee that
it intends to exercise its right of first refusal with regard to the
Furnishings upon the same terms and conditions. If such transaction shall not
be consummated within a reasonable period of time after Friday's has given
such notice, then Friday's right of first refusal under this Section shall be
a continuing right and failure to exercise such right shall not constitute a
waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, including such right of
first refusal with respect to future offers.

                  D. If Friday's exercises its option under Section 17.03.A
but the parties cannot agree on the fair market value of Franchisee's right,
title, or interest in and to the Site and the Furnishings within fifteen (15)
days of the exercise of such option(s), Friday's shall notify Franchisee of
its designation of an appraiser to determine such fair market value. Within
fifteen (15) days of such notice,

<PAGE>

Franchisee shall designate, by written notice to Friday's, an appraiser and
such appraisers shall select a third appraiser. If either party fails to so
designate an appraiser, the appraiser designated by the other party within
such period shall be the sole appraiser. The appraisers shall agree upon the
fair market value of the Site and the Furnishings or both, whichever shall
apply, within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the last of the
appraisers to be so appointed. A decision by a majority of the appraisers
shall control. Appraisal costs shall be borne equally by Friday's and
Franchisee. In the event Friday's elects, in its sole discretion, to proceed
with all or any part of such acquisition, said acquisition shall be completed
not later than thirty (30) days after the fair market value is established by
agreement or by decision of the appraisers. The purchase price, less any sums
otherwise due Friday's from Franchisee, shall be paid to Franchisee at a
closing which shall take place at Friday's offices, or such other location as
shall be mutually agreed to by the parties. At such closing, the parties
shall execute such instruments of conveyance and/or transfer as reasonably
required by Friday's. If Friday's exercises its option under Section 17.03.A,
possession of the Site shall transfer immediately upon closing.

         17.04 A. If Friday's does not exercise its option to acquire the
Occupancy Contract or Franchisee's right, title and interest in and to the
Site, Franchisee shall within thirty (30) days after the expiration of
Friday's option make such alterations to the Restaurant as may be necessary,
in Friday's reasonable judgment, to distinguish the appearance of the Site
from that of other T.G.I. Friday's-Registered Trademark- Restaurants in the
System including, but not be limited to:

                           (1)      removal of decorative memorabilia,
including wall hangings, the racing scull, gas pumps or street lamps
and brass railings;

                           (2)      removal of stained glass and Tiffany
lamps and chandeliers;

                           (3)      removal of proprietary phone booth;

                           (4)      removal of red and white striped outside
awnings;

                           (5)      removal or painting of interior awnings
and exterior and interior walls to a solid color other than a color
specified in the Standards; and

                           (6)      removal of signage.

                  B. If Friday's does not elect to purchase all or any
portion of the Furnishings which bear any Proprietary Mark or are otherwise
proprietary in nature, Franchisee shall dispose of such Furnishings only in a
manner to which Friday's has given consent within the same period of time as
required under this Section for the removal of all other Furnishings.

         17.05 Subsequent to any termination or expiration of this Agreement
(or any Renewal Franchise Agreement, if the renewal option described in
Section 17.09 has been exercised), Franchisee shall not (i) use of the
Proprietary Marks or any reproduction, counterfeit, copy or colorable
imitation of any of the Proprietary Marks which could cause confusion,
mistake or deception as to source of origin or which could dilute Friday's or
TGIFM's rights in and to any of the Proprietary Marks; (ii) utilize any
designation of origin, description or representation which suggests an
association or connection with Friday's; or (iii) utilize the System or any
part thereof.

         17.06 Until all Payments are made and any damages, costs or expenses
incurred or suffered by Friday's have been paid, Friday's shall have, and
Franchisee shall be deemed to have granted, a lien

<PAGE>

against any and all of the Furnishings and Franchisee's interest in the
Occupancy Contract and Site.

         17.07 Franchisee and each Principal shall, jointly and severally,
pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of attorneys and other
engaged professionals) incurred by Friday's in connection with the successful
enforcement of this Section 17. In the event Franchisee fails to comply with
this Section 17, Friday's may enter upon the Site, without being guilty of
trespass or otherwise liable, for the purpose of carrying out Franchisee's
obligations in this Section 17 at Franchisee's expense.

         17.08 Franchisee, at the option of Friday's, shall assign to
Friday's all rights to the telephone numbers of the Restaurant and execute
all forms required by any telephone company to transfer such service and
numbers to Friday's, and Franchisee shall thereafter use different telephone
numbers at or in connection with any subsequent business conducted by
Franchisee.

         17.09 This Agreement shall not automatically renew upon the
expiration of the Term. Franchise shall have an option to renew the Term of
this Agreement for a Renewal Term, if, and only if, each of the following
terms and conditions has been fully met to the reasonable satisfaction of
Friday's ("Renewal Compliance). If Renewal Compliance is not achieved prior
to the expiration of the Term, Franchisee shall not be entitled to continue
the operation of the Restaurant beyond the expiration of the Term, it being
understood that Renewal Compliance is a condition to the effectiveness of any
Renewal Franchise Agreement and the Renewal Term.

                  A. Franchisee must give Friday's written notice of
its election to renew the term of this Agreement no later than one (1) year,
but no earlier than three (3) years, prior to the expiration of the Term of
this Agreement.

                  B. Franchisee must deliver evidence of Control of the Real
Estate for the Renewal Term.

                  C. Franchisee must satisfy all of Friday's then-current
financial requirements (including the analysis of net worth, debt-to-equity
ratios and capitalization) for a new franchisee. Franchisee must submit
certified financial statements for the fiscal year preceding the Renewal
Election Date prepared by a Certified Public Accountant, supported by income
tax returns and such other documentation as is reasonably requested by
Friday's. If a Principal's individual net worth is used to satisfy all or a
portion of the financial requirements for the Franchisee, the Principal must
submit a current certified financial statement.

                  D. Franchisee must have satisfied all monetary obligations
owed to Friday's and its Affiliates, have timely met those obligations for
the two year period prior to the Renewal Election Date and continue to timely
meet those obligations throughout the balance of the Term.

                  E. Franchisee, during the Term of this Agreement, at the
Renewal Election Date and throughout the balance of the Term, must not be in
default of and must have operated the Restaurant substantially in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and the standards, specifications and
procedures of the System as set forth and described in each of the Operating
Manuals otherwise.

                  F. The entire Restaurant facility, interior and exterior,
must be brought up to then-current System standards (the "Facility and
Equipment Upgrades") and reflect an acceptable System image. As part of the
Facility and Equipment Upgrades, Franchisee must (i) repair, upgrade or
replace, at Franchisee's expense, such equipment, signage, interior and
exterior decor items, fixtures, furnishings,

<PAGE>

supplies, computers and other technology-driven systems, including hardware
and software, products and materials (collectively, "Equipment"), required
for the operation of the Restaurant as Friday's may reasonably require, (ii)
obtain any new or additional Equipment reasonably required by Friday's in
order for Franchisee to meet then-current System standards or to provide the
Restaurant's services by alternative means such as through carry-out or
delivery, and (iii) otherwise modernize the Restaurant to reflect the
then-current System standards and image.

                  G. Franchisee must submit to Friday's all standard form
information and documentation reasonably requested by Friday's as a basis for
the issuance and consummation of a franchise. Franchisee, each of
Franchisee's Principals and Friday's must execute a Mutual General Release
relating to this Agreement and the Restaurant.

                  H. Franchisee must pay a franchise fee for the Renewal Term
equal to fifty percent (50%) of the franchise fee being charged by Friday's,
at the time the Renewal Franchise Agreement is issued, for a new franchise to
a multi-unit developer having opened more than two restaurants.

                  I. Franchisee must execute and deliver to Friday's, prior
to the expiration of the Term, the then-current form of franchise agreement
for the Renewal Term. The renewal franchise agreement (the "Renewal Franchise
Agreement") shall be on the standard form of franchise agreement being issued
to new franchisees entering the System at the time such Renewal Franchise
Agreement is issued. The royalties payable under the Renewal Franchise
Agreement shall be calculated at the same royalty rate and under the same
terms as set forth in this Agreement.

18.      INDEMNIFICATION

                  A. Franchisee and each Principal will, at all times,
indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from all
"losses and expenses" (as defined below) incurred in connection with any
action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, investigation or inquiry (formal or
informal), or any settlement thereof (whether or not a formal proceeding or
action has been instituted) which arises out of or is based upon any of the
following:

                           (1)      The infringement, alleged infringement,
or any other violation or alleged violation by Franchisee or any Principal of
any patent, mark or copyright or other proprietary right owned or controlled
by third parties.

                           (2)      The violation, breach or asserted
violation or breach by Franchisee or any Principal of any contract, federal,
state or local law, regulation, ruling, standard or directive or any
industry standard.

                           (3)      Libel, slander or any other form of
defamation of Friday's or the System, by Franchisee or any Principal.

                           (4)      The violation or breach by Franchisee or
any Principal of any warranty, representation, agreement or obligation in
this Agreement.

                           (5)      Acts, errors or omissions of Franchisee
or any of its agents, servants, employees, contractors, partners, affiliates
or representatives.

                  B. Franchisee and each Principal agree to give Friday's
immediate notice of any

<PAGE>

such action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, inquiry or investigation.

                  C. Friday's shall at all times have the absolute right to
retain counsel of its own choosing in connection with any action, suit,
proceeding, claim, demand, inquiry or investigation. Friday's shall at all
times have the absolute right to investigate any action, suit proceeding,
claim or demand itself.

                  D. Franchisee and each Principal shall indemnify Friday's
for its attorneys' fees, expenses, and costs incurred in connection with the
exercise of Friday's rights under Section 18.C. This provision shall not be
construed so as to limit or in any way affect Franchisee's indemnity
obligations pursuant to the other provisions of Section 18.

                  E. In the event that Friday's exercise of its rights under
Section 18.C. actually results in Franchisee's insurer with respect to
insurance required to be maintained by Franchisee pursuant to Section 11
(hereinafter, the "Insurer") refusing to pay on a third party claim, all
causes of action and legal remedies which Franchisee might have against the
Insurer shall be automatically assigned to Friday's without the need for any
further action on Friday's or Franchisee's part. For the purposes of Section
18.01, "actually results" means that, but for Friday's exercise of its rights
under Section 18.C. the Insurer would not have refused to pay on said
third-party claim.

                  F. In the event that Friday's exercise of its rights under
Section 18.C. actually results in the Insurer refusing to pay on a
third-party claim, Franchisee shall not be required to indemnify Friday's for
the latter's attorneys' fees, expenses and costs incurred in connection with
that claim.

                  G. In the event that the Insurer subsequently reverses its
previous decision to not pay a claim, by in fact paying that claim,
Franchisee shall be required to indemnify Friday's for the latter's
attorneys' fees, expenses and costs incurred in connection with that claim,
just as if the Insurer had never denied the claim.

                  H. In the event that Franchisee encourages, requests, or
suggests that the Insurer deny a claim, Franchisee shall indemnify Friday's
for its attorneys' fees, expenses and costs in connection with that claim.

                  I. Subject to the provisions of Section 18.B. above, in
order to protect persons or property, or its reputation or goodwill, or the
reputation or goodwill of others, Friday's may, at any time and without
notice, as it, in its judgment deems appropriate, consent or agree to
settlements or take such other remedial or corrective action as it deems
expedient with respect to the action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand,
inquiry or investigation if, in Friday's sole judgment, there are reasonable
grounds to believe that:

                           (1)      any of the acts or circumstances
enumerated in Section 18.A. above have occurred; or

                           (2)      any act, error, or omission of
Franchisee or any Principal may result directly or indirectly in damage,
injury or harm to any person or any property.

                  J. In addition to their indemnity obligations under Section
18.D. Franchisee and each Principal shall indemnify Friday's for any and all
losses, compensatory damages, exemplary or punitive damages, fines, charges,
costs, expenses, lost profits, settlement amounts, judgments,

<PAGE>

compensation for damages to the Friday's reputation and goodwill, costs of or
resulting from delays, financing, costs of advertising material and media
time/space, and costs of changing, substituting or replacing the same, and
any and all expenses of recall, refunds, compensation, public notices and
other such amounts incurred in connection with the matters described, which
result from any of the items set forth in Section 18.A.

                  K. Friday's does not assume any liability whatsoever for
acts, errors, or omissions of those with whom Franchisee or any Principal may
contract, regardless of the purpose. Franchisee and each Principal shall hold
harmless and indemnify Friday's for all losses and expenses which may arise
out of any acts, errors or omissions of these third parties.

                  L. Under no circumstances shall Friday's be required or
obligated to seek recovery from third parties or otherwise mitigate its
losses in order to maintain a claim against Franchisee or any Principal.
Franchisee and each Principal agree that the failure to pursue such recovery
or mitigate loss will in no way reduce the amounts recoverable by Friday's
from Franchisee or any Principal.

                  M. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, Franchisee is not required to indemnify Friday's with regard
to any infringement, alleged infringement or other violation or alleged
violation by Franchisee or any Principal of any patent, mark, or copyright or
other proprietary right owned or controlled by a third party, arising in
connection with the use of the Proprietary Marks and System franchised to
Franchisee when used in the manner authorized and required by Friday's
pursuant to this Agreement. In the event Franchisee is involved in such an
action, Friday's agrees to indemnify Franchisee and Principals in connection
with the defense thereof, and to indemnify and hold Franchisee and Principals
harmless from any and all losses, damages, claims, liabilities, expenses,
including attorney's fees (prior to litigation, during litigation, and on
appeal) and all costs (whether taxed or not taxed) in connection with
proceedings regarding the same. Franchisee shall give notice to Friday's of
any such claim no later than fifteen (15) days after Franchisee becomes aware
of same or is given notice thereof. This indemnity shall be inoperative to
the extent that failure to have timely provided such notice to Friday's
materially impairs Friday's ability to defend any such claim, in whole or in
part, or to minimize the costs of this indemnity. Franchisee shall not be
required to defend Friday's with regard to Franchisee's utilization pursuant
to this Agreement of the Proprietary Marks and System provided such
utilization is in strict compliance with that authorized and required by
Friday's pursuant to this Agreement.

Notices posted by certified mail shall be deemed received three (3) Business
Days after the date of posting. Any change in the foregoing addresses shall
bev effected by giving fifteen (15) days written notice of such change to the
other party.

20.      FORCE MAJEURE

         No party shall be liable for any inability to perform resulting from
acts of God or other causes (other than financial inability or insolvency)
beyond their reasonable control; provided, however, that nothing herein shall
excuse or permit any delay or failure (i) to remit any Payment on the date
due or (ii) for more than one-hundred eighty (180) days. The party whose
performance is affected by an event of force majeure shall, within three (3)
days of the occurrence of such event, give notice thereof to the other party
setting forth the nature thereof and an estimate of its duration. The
foregoing not withstanding, if, through no fault of Franchisee, the
Restaurant is damaged or destroyed by an event such that it cannot, in
Friday's judgment, reasonably be restored within ninety (90) days thereafter,
then Franchisee may, within sixty (60) days after such event, apply for
Friday's consent to relocate and/or reconstruct the Restaurant, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. If franchisee fails to make such
application, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated for cause.

21.      SEVERABILITY

         21.01 Should any term, covenant or provision hereof, or the
application thereof, be determined by a valid, final, non-appealable order to
be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms, covenants or provisions
hereof shall continue in full force and effect without regard to the invalid
or unenforceable provision. In such event such term, covenant or provision
shall be deemed modified to impose the maximum duty permitted by law and such
term, covenant on provision shall be valid and enforceable in such modified
form as if separately stated in and made a part of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any term hereof is so determined to be
invalid or unenforceable and such determination adversely affects, in
Friday's reasonable judgment, Friday's ability to realize the principal
purpose of the Agreement or preserve its or TGIFM's rights in, or the
goodwill underlying, the Proprietary Marks, the System, or the Confidential
Information, Friday's may terminate this Agreement upon notice to Franchisee.

         21.02    Captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and
shall not affect the meaning or construction of any provision hereof.

22.      INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

         22.01 Franchisee is an independent contractor. Friday's does not
operate the Franchisee's business. Nothing herein shall create the
relationship of principal and agent, legal representative, joint ventures,
partners, employee and employer or master and servant between the parties. No
fiduciary duty is owed by, or exists between, the parties. Franchisee shall
hold itself out to the public to be an independent contractor operating the
business pursuant to a franchise from Friday's.

         22.02 Nothing herein authorizes Franchisee or any Principal to make any
contract, agreement,

<PAGE>

warranty or representation or to incur any debt or obligation in Friday's
name.

23.      DUE DILIGENCE AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

         23.01 Franchisee and each Principal (i) have conducted such due

                       ADDENDUM A TO FRANCHISE AGREEMENT

                  COVENANT AND AGREEMENT FOR CONFIDENTIALITY

         This agreement ("Agreement") is made by [PRINCIPAL'S NAME], [an
individual residing in the state of _______________ OR a corporation/partnership
organized under the laws of the State of _________________] ("Principal"), and
TGI Friday's Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New
York ("Friday's"), in connection with that certain Franchise Agreement dated
_________________, _____ (the "Franchise Agreement"), by and between Friday's
and _____________________ ("Franchisee").

         WHEREAS, Friday's and Franchisee have entered into the Franchise
Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, the Confidential Information provides economic advantages
to Friday's and is not generally known to, and not legally available to,
third parties; and

         WHEREAS, Friday's has taken and intends to take all steps necessary
to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information; and

         WHEREAS, Principal will receive, and desires to receive, the
Confidential Information in his capacity as a Principal of Franchisee; and

         WHEREAS, this Agreement is executed and delivered pursuant to
Section 8.05 of the Franchise Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
obligations contained herein, Principal and Friday's agree as follows:

         1.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall
have the meanings attributed to them in the Franchise Agreement.

         2.  Friday's shall disclose to Principal some or all of the
Confidential Information which may be utilized by Principal solely (a) in his
capacity as a Principal of Franchisee and (b) in connection with Franchisee's
performance of its duties and obligations pursuant to the Franchise
Agreement. No other use or disclosure of any of the Confidential Information
shall be made by Principal. Principal acknowledges and agrees that Friday's
or TGIFM is the exclusive owner of the Confidential Information, the System
and the Proprietary Marks. Principal shall not, directly or indirectly,
contest or impair Friday's or TGIFM's ownership of, or interest in, the
Confidential Information, the System or the Proprietary Marks.

         3.  Principal shall receive the Confidential Information in strict
confidence. The Confidential Information may be utilized by Principal only (a)
so long as Principal remains a Principal of Franchisee and (b) during the Term.
The Confidential Information shall not be used in any manner that is adverse or
detrimental to, or competitive with, Friday's, TGIFM or Franchisee. Except as
permitted pursuant to the Franchise Agreement or this Agreement, the
Confidential Information shall not, without the prior written consent of
Friday's, be (i) copied, (ii) compiled (in total or in part) with other
information, or (iii) disclosed to any third party.

         4.  Principal shall not communicate, disclose or use the Confidential
Information, or any part

<PAGE>

thereof, except as (a) permitted herein, or (b) required by law. The
Confidential Information may be disclosed to Principal's agents, consultants,
contractors and employees who need to know the Confidential Information for
the sole purpose of providing services to Principal in his capacity as a
Principal of Franchisee. Prior to such disclosure of any Confidential
Information, each of such agents, consultants, contractors and employees
shall (a) be advised by Principal of the confidential and proprietary nature
of the Confidential Information and (b) agree to be bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding such agreement, Principal shall
indemnify the Friday's Indemnitees from and against any damages, costs
(including reasonable fees of attorneys and other engaged professionals) and
expenses resulting from any disclosure or use of the Confidential
Information, or any part thereof, by such agents, representatives or
employees contrary to the terms hereof.

         5.  In the event Principal or Principal's agents, representatives, or
employees receive notice of any request, demand or order to transfer or disclose
all or any portion of the Confidential Information, Principal shall immediately
notify Friday's thereof, and shall fully cooperate with and assist Friday's in
prohibiting or denying any such transfer or disclosure. Should such transfer or
disclosure be required by a valid, final, non-appealable court order, Principal
shall fully cooperate with and assist Friday's in protecting the confidentiality
of the Confidential Information to the maximum extent permitted by law.

         6.  Immediately upon Friday's request or upon any termination or
expiration of the Term, Principal shall return the Confidential Information
including, without limitation, that portion of the Confidential Information
which consists of analyses, compilations, studies or other documents containing
or referring to any part of the Confidential Information, prepared by Principal,
its agents, representatives or employees, and any copies thereof.

         7.  Each of the representations, warranties, covenants, acknowledgments
and agreements of Principal, and the rights and remedies of Friday's in
connection therewith, contained in the Franchise Agreement including, without
limitation, those contained in Sections 8, 9, 13.03.C, 14.02, 14.03, 14.04 and
16 of the Franchise Agreement, are incorporated in this Agreement by reference
as if fully set forth. In connection with Friday's enforcement of such rights
and remedies (or other rights and remedies of Friday's under this Agreement),
any court of competent jurisdiction selected by Friday's shall have personal
jurisdiction over Principal, to which jurisdiction Principal irrevocably
consents. The parties agree that to the extent the law of the State of Texas is
held enforceable, Texas law shall apply to the interpretation and construction
of this Agreement (except for Texas choice of law rules) and shall govern all
questions which arise with reference hereto.

         8.  Friday's may, in addition to pursuing any other remedies,
specifically enforce such obligations, covenants and agreements or obtain
injunctive or other equitable relief in connection with the violation or
anticipated violation of such obligations, covenants and agreements without the
necessity of showing (i) actual or threatened harm; (ii) the inadequacy of
damages as a remedy; or (iii) likelihood of success on the merits, and without
being required to furnish bond or other security. Nothing in this Agreement
shall impair Friday's right to obtain equitable relief.

         9.  Should any term, covenant or provision hereof, or the
application thereof, be determined by a valid, final, non-appealable order to
be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms, covenants or provisions
hereof shall continue in full force and effect without regard to the invalid
or unenforceable provision. In such event such term, covenant or provision
shall be deemed modified to impose the maximum duty permitted by law and such
term, covenant or provision shall be valid and enforceable in such modified
form as if separately stated in and made a part of this Agreement.

<PAGE>

         10.  Any of Principal's agreements, obligations or covenants which
contemplate performance thereof after the termination or expiration of this
Agreement shall survive such termination or expiration.

         11.  Principal acknowledges and warrants that he has derived and
expects to derive financial or other advantage and benefit, directly or
indirectly, from the Franchise Agreement, this Agreement and/or the provision
of the Confidential Information to Franchisee and/or Principal.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed by the parties on the dates

Information to the maximum extent permitted by law.

         6.  Immediately upon Friday's request, upon Employee's termination of
employment with Franchisee, or upon the conclusion of the use for which any
Confidential Information was furnished, Employee shall return the Confidential
Information including, without limitation, that portion of the Confidential
Information which consists of analyses, compilations, studies or other documents
containing or referring to any part of the Confidential Information, and any
copies thereof, to Franchisee or Friday's.

         7.  In order to protect the goodwill and unique qualities of the System
and the confidentiality and value of the Confidential Information, and in
consideration of the disclosure to Employee of the Confidential Information,
Employee covenants that, during the period of his employment by Franchisee and
for a period of one (1) year following termination of such employment, Employee
shall not, directly or indirectly:

             A.  employ or seek to employ any person (or induce such person
to leave his or her employment) who is, or has within one (1) year been,
employed (i) by Friday's or Franchisee; (ii) by any developer or franchisee
of Friday's; or (iii) in any other concept or system owned, operated or
franchised by an Affiliate, as a director, officer or in any managerial
capacity;

             B.  own, maintain, operate or have any interest in any Competing
Business;

             C.  own, maintain, operate or have any interest in any
Competing Business which business is, or is intended to be, located in the
county in which the Restaurant is located; or

             D.  own, maintain, operate or have any interest in any
Competing Business which business is, or is intended to be, located within a
radius of three (3) miles of any restaurant which is a part of any concept or

         8.  In connection with the enforcement of rights and remedies under

<PAGE>

court of competent jurisdiction selected by Franchisee or Friday's shall have
personal jurisdiction over Employee, to which jurisdiction Employee
irrevocably consents. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT TO THE EXTENT THE LAW OF THE
STATE OF TEXAS IS HELD ENFORCEABLE, TEXAS LAW SHALL APPLY TO THE
INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT (EXCEPT FOR TEXAS CHOICE OF
LAW RULES) AND SHALL GOVERN ALL QUESTIONS WHICH ARISE WITH REFERENCE HERETO.

         9.  A.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that (i) Friday's is a third
party beneficiary to this Agreement and (ii) Friday's exercise of the rights and
remedies set forth herein is reasonable.

             B.  Franchisee or Friday's may, in addition to pursuing any
other remedies, specifically enforce such obligations and covenants or obtain
injunctive or other equitable relief in connection with the violation or
anticipated violation of such obligations and covenants without the necessity of
showing (i) actual or threatened harm; (ii) the inadequacy of damages as a
remedy; or (iii) likelihood of success on the merits, and without being required
to furnish bond or other security. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair
Franchisee's or Friday's right to obtain equitable relief.

             C.  With respect to Employee's breach of the covenants
contained in Section 7.A hereof, the affected former employer shall be
compensated by Employee for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such
employer in connection with training such employee. Franchisee and Employee
acknowledge that such expenses are impossible to accurately quantify and agree
that, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to such
employee's annual rate of compensation in the final twelve (12) months of
employment (or an annualized rate if employed for a shorter period) by such
former employer shall be paid by Employee to the former employer at such time as
such employee commences employment.

         10. Should any term, covenant or provision hereof, or the application
thereof, be determined by a valid, final, non-appealable order to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining terms, covenants or provisions hereof shall
continue in full force and effect without regard to the invalid or unenforceable
provision. In such event, such term, covenant or provision shall be deemed
modified to impose the maximum duty permitted by law and such term, covenant or
provision shall be valid and enforceable in such modified form as if separately
stated in and made a part of this Agreement.

         11. Any of Employee's agreements, obligations or covenants which
contemplate performance thereof after the termination or expiration of this
Agreement shall survive such termination or expiration.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed by the parties on the dates
indicated below.
