successfully complete additional training at the Training Center.

         E. When the Franchise Agreement for the third Restaurant is
executed, Developer shall designate a Multi-Unit Manager. Additional
Multi-Unit Managers shall be designated from time to time as reasonably
required by Friday's. Prior to assuming his duties, each Multi-Unit Manager
shall have successfully completed Restaurant Manager training and shall
attend at the Training Center and successfully complete Friday's training
program for Multi-Unit Managers (currently, two (2) days at the Training
Center and approximately four (4) weeks at such then existing T.G.I.
Friday's(R) Restaurant locations as shall be designated by Friday's).

         F. Friday's shall have the right to interview and consent to each
Operator, each Multi-Unit Manager, Project Manager and all Restaurant
Managers. Friday's shall endeavor to conduct such interviews in the
Territory, but may require that such interviews occur at Headquarters.
Developer shall bear all costs and expenses related to making the Restaurant
Managers available for such interviews.

         G. Friday's shall provide instructors, facilities and materials for
training at the Training Center, and shall provide, at its option, other
training programs at non-Training Center locations as may be designated by
Friday's from time to time in the Manuals or otherwise in writing. Developer
shall reimburse Friday's for any Territorial Expenses or other direct
expenses incurred by Friday's for such

other training programs.

         H. Except as provided herein, Developer shall bear all costs and
expenses relating to any Representative, Operator, Multi-Unit Manager,
Project Manager and Restaurant Manager training.

         I. The NSO Team shall assist in (i) training Franchisee's employees
at each Restaurant; and (ii) the opening of each Restaurant. The NSO Team for
a Restaurant typically consists of a combined total of approximately twelve
(12) employees of Friday's and Franchisee (the actual number of members shall
be determined by Friday's in its sole discretion, depending upon the number
of Restaurant locations already open and operating by Developer and such
other criteria as Friday's deems reasonable). The members of the NSO Team
shall be subject to Friday's consent. The number of Friday's employees
selected to serve on the NSO Team for a Restaurant is determined according to
the following schedule, provided however, Friday's may elect to modify this
schedule in the event the total number of people on the NSO Team is greater
or less than twelve (12):

In the event Friday's determines that more than 12 NSO team members are
necessary for an opening, Developers with five or more restaurants open
(inclusive of the new restaurant) shall be responsible for the costs
associated with the team members in excess of 12. For Developers with less
than five restaurants open, Friday's will bear the costs of the additional
team members.

If Franchisee fails or is unable to timely provide such employees, Friday's
may, but shall not be obligated to, staff the NSO-Team with Friday's
employees. Friday's and Franchisee shall each be responsible for: (a) making
all travel, food and lodging arrangements, and (b) the wage and other
expenses of the NSO-Team members provided by each; provided, however, that
Franchisee shall reimburse Friday's for the Territorial Expenses and the Wage
Expenses of Friday's employees who are provided as a result of Franchisee's
failure or inability to provide Franchisee employees for participation on the
NSO-Team.

6.       CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

         A. (1) Neither Developer nor any Principal shall communicate,
disclose or use any Confidential Information except as (i) permitted herein
or (ii) required by law, and shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain
such information as secret and confidential. Neither Developer nor any
Principal shall, without Friday's prior consent, copy, duplicate, record or
otherwise reproduce any Confidential Information. Confidential Information
may be provided to employees, agents, consultants and contractors only to the
extent necessary for such parties to provide services to Developer. Prior to
such disclosure of any Confidential Information, each of such employees,
agents, consultants and contractors shall (a) be advised by Developer of the
confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information, and (b)
agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of Section 6 of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding such agreement, Developer shall indemnify the Friday's
Indemnitees from any damages, costs or expenses resulting from or related to
any disclosure or use of Confidential


<PAGE>

Information by its agents, employees, consultants and contractors.

                  (2) In the event Developer or Developer's employees,
agents, consultants, or contractors receive notice of any request, demand, or
order to transfer or disclose all or any portion of the Confidential
Information, Developer 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, Developer shall fully cooperate
with and assist Friday's in protecting the confidentiality of the
Confidential Information to the maximum extent permitted by law.

                  (3) Developer and each Principal acknowledge Friday's
exclusive ownership of the Confidential Information and the System, and
TGIFM's exclusive ownership of, and Friday's license with respect to, the
Proprietary Marks. Neither Developer nor any Principal shall, directly or
indirectly, contest or impair Friday's or TGIFM's exclusive ownership of,
and/or license with respect to, the Confidential Information, the System or
the Proprietary Marks.

         B. If Developer develops improvements (as determined by Friday's) to
the Confidential Information, Developer and the Principals shall each,
without additional consideration, execute such agreements and other
documentation as shall be deemed necessary by Friday's, granting exclusive
ownership thereof to Friday's. All such improvements shall be Confidential
Information.

         C. Each Principal shall execute and deliver to Friday's a covenant
in the form attached as ADDENDUM A. Developer shall cause each Operator,
Representative, Multi-Unit Manager, Project Manager, and Restaurant Manager
and such other employees of Developer whom Friday's shall designate to
execute and (if requested) deliver to Friday's a covenant in the form
attached as ADDENDUM B. Notwithstanding the execution of such covenant,
Developer shall indemnify the Friday's Indemnitees from any damages, costs or
expenses resulting from or related to any disclosure or use of Confidential
Information by any Principal, Operator, Representative, Multi-Unit Manager,
Project Manager or Restaurant Manager.

         D. Immediately upon any termination or expiration hereof, Developer
and each 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 Developer
or such Principal, their agents, representatives or employees, and all copies
thereof.

7.       DEVELOPER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; AFFIRMATIVE AND NEGATIVE
         COVENANTS

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

                  (1) Developer is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with all
requisite power and authority to own, operate and lease its assets (real or
personal), to carry on its business, to enter into this Agreement and perform
its obligations hereunder. Developer is duly qualified to do business and is
in good standing in each jurisdiction in which its business or the ownership
of its assets requires.


<PAGE>

                  (2) The execution, delivery and performance by Developer of
this Agreement, any Franchise 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, any Franchise 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 Developer of this Agreement, any Franchise Agreement or any other
agreements contemplated hereby will conflict with, or result in a breach of
any term or provision of Developer'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 Developer 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.

                  (3) Developer's articles of incorporation, by-laws,
partnership agreement and other governing documents expressly limit
Developer's business activities solely to the development and operation
(pursuant to this Agreement and the Franchise Agreements) of the Restaurants.

                  (4) Certified copies of Developer'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.

                  (5) A certified current list of all Principals has been
delivered to Friday's.

                  (6) Developer's articles of incorporation or other
governing documents, or partnership agreement limit Transfers as described in
Sections 8.B.(2) and 8.C.

                  (7) Each Security shall bear a legend (in a form to
which Friday's  shall consent)  indicating  that any Transfer is subject to
Sections 8.B and 8.C.

         B. Developer affirmatively covenants with Friday's as follows:

                  (1) Developer shall perform its duties and obligations
hereunder and under any Franchise Agreement 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 Restaurants in
accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

                  (2) Developer 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
Restaurants developed by Developer or any Principal without compensation.
Developer 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.

                  (3) Developer shall comply with all requirements of
applicable rules, regulations, statutes, laws and ordinances.

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

                  (5) Each Security issued subsequent to the date hereof
shall be in compliance with Section 7.A.(7).


<PAGE>

         C. Developer acknowledges and/or negatively covenants with Friday's
as follows:

                  (1) Developer shall not amend its articles of
incorporation, by-laws, partnership agreement or other governing documents in
a manner which is inconsistent with Sections 7.A.(3), 8.B.(2) and 8.C.

                  (2) Developer 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 7.A.(7).

                  (3) Developer and each Principal shall receive valuable,
unique training, trade secrets and the Confidential Information which are
beyond the present skills, experience and knowledge of Developer, any
Principal and Developer's employees. Developer and each Principal acknowledge
that (i) such training, trade secrets and the Confidential Information (a)
are essential to the development of the Restaurant and (b) provide a
competitive advantage to Developer; 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, Developer and each
Principal covenant that, during the Term and for a period of one (1) year
after the expiration or termination hereof, neither Developer nor any
Principal shall, 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, (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 Territory; or

                           (d) 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 a concept
or system owned, operated, or franchised by Friday's or any Affiliate.

                  (4) Sections 7.C.(3)(b), (c) and (d) 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.

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

         E. Friday's may, in its sole discretion, reduce the area, duration
or scope of any covenant contained in Section 7.C. without Developer's or any
Principal's consent, effective upon notice to Developer. Developer and each
Principal shall comply with any covenant as so modified.

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


<PAGE>

8.       TRANSFER

         A. Friday's may assign this Agreement, or any of its rights or
obligations herein, to any person or entity without Developer'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.

         B. (1) Developer and each Principal acknowledge that
Developer's rights and obligations herein and in each Franchise Agreement are
personal to Developer and that Friday's has entered into this Agreement and
will enter into each Franchise Agreement relying upon the business skill,
experience and aptitude, financial resources and reputation of Developer and
each Principal. Therefore, neither Developer 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.

            (2) 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 Developer
acknowledges and agrees is reasonable and necessary:

                           (a) 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;

                           (b) Developer 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 and any Franchise Agreement, in a form acceptable to Friday's;

                           (c) Developer 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;

                           (d) the transferee and all Transferee Owners, as
applicable, shall (i) make each of Developer'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 Developer'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;

                           (e) 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- developers or principals, as
applicable, including, without limitation: (i) education; (ii) business
skill, experience and aptitude; (iii) character and reputation; and (iv)
financial resources;

                           (f) the transferee and all Transferee Owners shall
execute (without extending the Term) the standard form of development
agreement then being offered to new System developers or other form of this
Agreement as Friday's requests and such other ancillary agreements as
Friday's may request for the development of the Restaurants, which shall
supersede this Agreement and its ancillary documents and the terms of which
may differ from the terms hereof; provided, however, that


<PAGE>

the transferee shall not be required to pay the Development Fee (transferee
shall pay all Franchise Fees and other fees described in each Franchise
Agreement which have not already been paid in full by Developer); and

                           (g) at the transferee's expense, the transferee's
Representative, any Multi-Unit Manager(s), Operator, 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. Developer and each Principal agree that:

            (1) (i) Friday's shall have and is hereby granted a right
of first refusal with respect to any Transfer; (ii) should Developer 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 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

                  (2) 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
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.

         D. In the event Developer 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 Wage Expenses. No such fee shall be payable with
respect to a transaction with Friday's described in Section 8.C.

         E. In the event Developer or any Principal is a natural person,
Developer or his administrator, executor, guardian or personal representative
shall promptly notify Friday's of the death or Permanent Disability of such
Developer or such Principal. Any Transfer upon death or Permanent Disability
shall be subject to the terms and conditions described in Sections 8.B.(2)
and 8.C. 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 Developer or
such Principal becomes, or is deemed to be, Permanently Disabled. Developer
or any Principal refusing to submit to examination with respect to Permanent
Disability shall be deemed Permanently Disabled.

         F. 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 hereof.


<PAGE>

9.       CONSENT AND WAIVER

         A. When required, Developer or any Principal shall make a written
request for Friday's consent in advance and such consent shall be obtained in
writing. Friday's consent shall not 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.

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

10.      DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

         10.01 A. The following shall constitute Events of Default by
Developer or any Principal: (i) failure to comply with the Development
Schedule; (ii) the breach or falsity of any representation or warranty
herein; (iii) failure to deliver executed covenants as required in Section
6.C; (iv) failure to comply with or perform its covenants, obligations and
agreements herein; (v) any Transfer that (a) occurs other than as provided in
Section 8 or (b) fails to occur within the time periods described in Section
8 (notwithstanding any lack of, or limits upon, the enforceability of any
term or provision of Sections 7 or 8); (vi) failure to make any Payment on or
before the date payable; (vii) failure to meet and/or maintain the Standards;
(viii) Developer (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
Developer 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 Developer's assets or (b) any 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) an event of default shall arise
under any Franchise Agreement; (xii) Developer 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 (whether in the Territory or elsewhere) or Friday's
interest therein; or (xiii) any (a) two (2) or more Events of Default shall
arise under any single subsection of this Section 10.01.A or (b) three (3) or
more Events of Default shall arise under this Section 10.01.A 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
10.01.A.(i), (iii), (iv) [with respect to Events of Default arising, without
limitation, under Section 7.C.(3)], (v), (vi), (viii), (ix), (xi), (xii) or
(xiii) shall constitute a Material Event of Default. The parties further
agree that Events of Default committed by Developer 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 Developer 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 Developer's expense and
in connection therewith


<PAGE>

Developer (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 Developer, 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 Section
10.01.A.(viii) or (ix)); or

                  (3) with respect to an Event of Default arising from a
breach of covenant contained in Section 7.C.(3)(a), the affected former
employer shall be compensated by the breaching party (and Developer 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. Developer 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.

         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 notice from Friday's thereof and the expiration
of the following cure periods:

Section 10.01.A.(vi) - ten (10) days; or

                  (2)      with respect to any Event of Default arising under
Sections 10.01.A.(i)-(v) inclusive, (vii) and (x) - thirty (30) days.

         E. If any Events of Default arising under Sections 10.01.A.(i) - (v)
inclusive, (vii) or (x) cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days,
Developer shall provide Friday's notice thereof (together with Developer'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. Developer and each Principal agree that Friday's exercise of the
rights and remedies set forth herein are 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.

         10.02 A. The following shall constitute Events of Default by
Friday's: (i) failure to comply with or perform its 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.

<PAGE>

         B. Upon the occurrence of a Material Event of Default by Friday's,
Developer may, upon notice to Friday's, terminate this Agreement and all
rights granted hereunder without waiving any (i) claim for damages suffered
by Developer; or (ii) other rights, remedies or claims. Any termination of
this Agreement by Developer other than as provided in this Section 10.02
shall be deemed a termination by Developer without cause.

         C. Developer 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 Developer 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 Developer 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
Developer.

         10.03 Subject to the provisions of Section 10.06, 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 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.

         10.04 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 any
other developers 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.

         10.05 Developer 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 Developer 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 Developer's or any
Principal's representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or agreements
herein.

         10.06 IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM WHICH IS NOT SUBJECT
TO, NOR ARISES UNDER, SECTION 12, FRIDAY'S, DEVELOPER 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


<PAGE>

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.

11.      INSURANCE

         A. Developer shall obtain within thirty (30) days from the date
hereof and maintain throughout the Term, such insurance coverage (including,
without limitation, auto liability coverage and workers compensation
insurance) as may be (i) required by law; or (ii) reasonably designed to
protect Developer from the risks inherent in the development activities to be
engaged in by Developer pursuant to this Agreement. Friday's shall have the
right to reasonably consent to the types and amounts of coverage and the
issuing companies. Such insurance shall:

                  (1) name the Friday's Indemnitees as additional insured
parties and provide that coverage applies separately to each insured and
additional insured party against whom a claim is brought as though a separate
policy had been issued to each Friday's Indemnitee;

                  (2) 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;

                  (3) 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;

                  (4) 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

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

                      (a)      auto liability insurance, including coverage
of owned, non-owned and hired vehicles, with a combination of primary and
excess limits of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00)
for bodily injury for each person, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for
bodily injury for each occurrence and Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000.00) for each occurrence of property damage;

                      (b)      employer's liability insurance with a limit of
not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00); and

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


<PAGE>

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

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

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

         E. Developer'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 Developer of any liability under this Agreement.
Developer's insurance shall be primary to any policies maintained by any
Friday's Indemnitee.

         F. If Developer 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 Developer
upon notice.

12.      INDEMNIFICATION

         A. Developer and each Principal will, at all times, indemnify and
hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Friday's Indemnitees
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 Developer 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 Developer or any Principal.

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

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

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



<PAGE>

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. Developer and each Principal shall indemnify Friday's Indemnitees
for attorneys' fees, expenses, and costs incurred in connection with the
exercise of Friday's rights under Section 12. This provision shall not be
construed so as to limit or in any way affect Developer's indemnity
obligations pursuant to the other provisions of Section 12.

         E. In the event that Friday's exercise of its rights under Section
12 actually results in Developer's insurer with respect to insurance required
to be maintained by Developer pursuant to Section 11 (hereinafter, the
"Insurer") refusing to pay on a third party claim, all causes of action and
legal remedies which Developer might have against the Insurer shall be
automatically assigned to Franchisor without the need for any further action
on Friday's or Developer's part. For the purposes of Section 12, "actually
results" means that, but for Friday's exercise of its rights under Section
12, 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
12 actually results in the Insurer refusing to pay on a third-party claim,
Developer 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, Developer 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 Developer encourages, requests, or suggests
that the Insurer deny a claim, Developer shall indemnify Friday's for its
attorneys' fees, expenses and costs in connection with that claim.

         I. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.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
12.A. above have occurred; or

                  (2)  any act, error, or omission of Developer 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 12.D.,
Developer 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, compensation for
damages to Friday's reputation and goodwill, costs of or resulting from
delays, financing, costs of


<PAGE>

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 12.

         K. Friday's does not assume any liability whatsoever for acts,
errors, or omissions of those with whom Developer or any Principal may
contract, regardless of the purpose. Developer 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 Developer or any Principal. Developer 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 Developer or
any Principal.

         M. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Developer is not required to indemnify Friday's with regard to any
infringement, alleged infringement or other violation or alleged violation by
Developer 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 Developer when
used in the manner authorized and required by Friday's pursuant to this
Agreement. In the event Developer is involved in such an action, Friday's
agrees to indemnify Developer Indemnitees in connection with the defense
thereof, and to indemnify and hold Developer Indemnitees 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. Developer shall give notice to Friday's of any such claim no later than
fifteen (15) days after Developer 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. Developer shall not be required to defend Friday's
with regard to Developer'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.

14.      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.

15.      SEVERABILITY

         A. 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.
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 Developer.

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

16.      INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

         A. Developer is an independent contractor. Friday's does not operate
the Developer'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.

         B. Nothing herein authorizes Developer or any Principal to make any
contract, agreement, warranty or representation or to incur any debt or
obligation in Friday's name.

17.      DUE DILIGENCE AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

         A. Developer and each Principal (i) have conducted such due
diligence and investigation as each desires; (ii) recognize that the business
venture described herein involves risks; and (iii)

         B. There are no third party beneficiaries to this Agreement except
for the remedy provided for breach of Developer's or any Principal's covenant

contained in Section 10.01.C.(3), and the rights and remedies provided for in
EXHIBIT B.

         C. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts each
of which when so executed shall be an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one (1) and the same instrument.

         D. All references herein to the masculine, neuter or singular shall

Trademark-", "T.G.I. FRIDAY's-Registered Trademark-", "TGIF(R)" OR "THE
AMERICAN BISTRO-Registered Trademark-", or any part thereof, as part of its
corporate or other name.

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
