GENERAL POLICY

         O'Charley's Inc. (the "Company") is committed to achieving high
standards of workplace conduct and business, personal and ethical conduct.
Through performance in accordance with these standards, the Company and all of
its employees will merit and enjoy the respect of one another, our shareholders,
our customers, our suppliers and the public.

         It is the personal responsibility of all employees who are required to
sign this agreement to acquaint themselves with all legal and policy standards
and restrictions applicable to their assigned duties and responsibilities, and
to conduct themselves accordingly. Over and above the strictly legal aspects
involved, all Company personnel are expected to observe high standards of
business and personal ethics in the discharge of their assigned duties. This
Code of Conduct (the "Code") is designed to help ensure that these things occur.
This Code is not meant to cover all situations. Any doubts as to the
appropriateness of a particular situation, whether or not described in this
Code, should be submitted either to your immediate supervisor or the Company's
Compliance Officer whose role is discussed later in this document.

BUSINESS CONDUCT

                  Employee Conduct. Each employee of the Company must exercise
         the highest standards of personal conduct in such employee's dealings
         with the Company, its customers and suppliers, government officials and
         other employees. Employees must comply fully with the letter and spirit
         of all applicable statutes and regulations. Disregard of the law may
         result in severe penalties to the Company and to the employee.

                  Confidentiality. Employees frequently have access to
         confidential information concerning the Company's business.
         Safeguarding confidential information is essential to the conduct of
         the Company. Caution and discretion must be exercised in the use of
         such information, which should be shared only with those who have a
         clear and legitimate need and right to know. Employees should be
         careful to guard against accidental disclosure of confidential
         information through conversations that may be overheard in public
         places such as restaurants, airplanes and elevators.

                  Salary, benefits and other personal information relating to
         employees shall be treated as confidential. Personnel files, payroll
         information, disciplinary matters and similar information shall be
         maintained in a manner designed to ensure confidentiality in accordance
         with applicable laws. Employees will exercise due care to prevent the
         release or sharing of information beyond those persons who may need
         such information to fulfill their job function.

<PAGE>

                  Any requests for information arising through a legal process
         (e.g., subpoena or court order) must be processed through the
         designated avenues within the Company. All requests related to the
         Company's financial records must first be referred to the Chief
         Financial Officer before the release of the information can occur.

                  All news inquiries should be directed to either the concept
         President, Vice-President of Human Resources Support Services,
         Vice-President of Marketing, Chief Support Officer, Chief Financial
         Officer, Chief Operating Officer or Chief Executive Officer.

                  Use of Electronic and Voice Mail. All electronic and
         telephonic communications and stored information transmitted, received
         or archived in O'Charley's, Inc. electronic or telephonic communication
         systems or computers are the property of the company. While
         O'Charley's, Inc. reserves the right, employee's should not attempt to
         enter, monitor, access, retrieve or disclose information from another's
         email, voice mail, or computer files without the express permission of
         the Chief Information Officer, Vice-President of Human Resources
         Support Services or a Vice-President of Operations. Access to the
         disclosure of e-mail, voice mail and information on computer systems
         should be limited to authorized employees who, for company business
         purposes, have a need to know.

                  E-mail or voice mail shall not be used to transmit vulgar,
         profane, insulting or offensive messages. Among those which are
         considered to be offensive are any messages which contain sexual
         implications, racial slurs, gender specific comments, or any other
         comment that offensively addresses someone's age, sexual orientation,
         religious or political beliefs, national origin, or disability.

                  Integrity of Records, Statements and Reports and Compliance
         with Accounting Procedures. Accuracy and reliability in the preparation
         of all business records, financial statements and reports to regulatory
         and other government agencies is of critical importance to the business
         decision-making process and to the proper discharge of the Company's
         financial, legal and reporting obligations. To this end, the Company
         shall:

         -        comply with generally accepted accounting principles at all
                  times;

         -        maintain a system of internal accounting controls that will
                  provide reasonable assurances to management that all
                  transactions are properly recorded;

         -        maintain books and records that accurately and fairly reflect
                  the Company's transactions;

         -        prohibit the establishment of any undisclosed or unrecorded
                  funds or assets; and

                                       2

<PAGE>

         -        maintain a system of internal controls that will provide
                  reasonable assurances to management that material information
                  about the Company is made known to management, particularly
                  during the periods in which the Company's periodic reports are
                  being prepared.

                  Each employee should ensure that all business records, expense
         accounts, vouchers, bills and payroll records and other statements and
         reports are prepared timely and with care and honesty. False or
         misleading entries are prohibited. It is the responsibility of all
         employees to ensure that both the letter and the spirit of corporate
         accounting and internal control procedures are strictly adhered to at
         all times.

                  No employee shall directly or indirectly take any action, or
         encourage anyone to take an action; to improperly influence, coerce,
         manipulate, or mislead any independent public accountant engaged in the
         performance of an audit or review of the Company's financial
         statements. Some examples of improper action include any action causing
         the Company's independent auditors to (a) issue a report on the
         Company's financial statements that is not warranted in the
         circumstances (due to material violations of generally accepted
         accounting principles, generally accepted auditing standards, or other
         standards), (b) not perform audit, review or other procedures required
         by generally accepted auditing standards or other professional
         standards, (c) not to withdraw an issued report, or (d) not communicate
         matters to the Company's Audit Committee. Improper action also
         includes: (a) offering or paying bribes or other financial incentives,
         including offering future employment or contracts for non-audit
         services, (b) providing an auditor with inaccurate or misleading legal
         analysis, (c) threatening to cancel or canceling existing non-audit or
         audit engagements if the auditor objects to the Company's accounting,
         (d) seeking to have a partner removed from the audit engagement because
         the partner objects to the Company's accounting, (e) blackmailing, or
         (f) making physical threats.

                  The Company has established a Disclosure Committee to assist
         management in the full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable
         disclosure in the periodic reports required to be filed by the Company
         with the SEC.

                  It is the responsibility of each employee to:

         -        promptly bring to the attention of the Disclosure Committee
                  any material information of which he or she may become aware
                  that affects the disclosures made by the Company in its public
                  findings;

         -        promptly bring to the attention of the Disclosure Committee
                  and the Audit Committee any information he or she may have
                  concerning (a) significant deficiencies in the design or
                  operation of internal controls which could adversely affect
                  the Company's ability to record, process, summarize and

                                       3

<PAGE>

                  report financial data or (b) any fraud, whether or not
                  material, that involves management or other employees who have
                  a significant role in the Company's financial reporting,
                  disclosures or internal controls; and

         -        promptly bring to the attention of the CFO and to the Audit
                  Committee any information he or she may have concerning
                  evidence of a material violation of the securities or other
                  laws, rules or regulations applicable to the Company and the
                  operation of its business, by the Company or any agent
                  thereof.

                  Political Contributions. No funds or assets of the Company
         will be used for federal, state, or local political campaign
         contributions without the prior approval of the CFO, COO or CEO. These
         prohibitions cover not only direct contributions but also indirect
         assistance or support of candidates or political parties through the
         purchase of tickets to special dinners or other fundraising events or
         the furnishing of any other goods, services or equipment to political
         parties or committees.

                  The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibits the Company
         from giving anything of value, directly or indirectly, to foreign
         government officials, parties or candidates to obtain or retain
         business. Accordingly, no funds or assets of the Company will be used
         or offered, directly or indirectly, for political contributions outside
         the United States, even where permitted by applicable law, without the
         prior written approval of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

                  The above prohibitions apply only to the direct or indirect
         use of corporate funds or assets for political purposes and are, of
         course, not intended to discourage employees from making personal
         contributions to candidates, parties or committees of their choice.
         Under no circumstances will employees be reimbursed in any way for
         personal contributions.

                  Bribery and Kickbacks. An employee may not give anything of
         value to any customer or potential customer as an inducement to obtain
         favorable treatment personally. Similarly, employees are prohibited
         from giving anything of value to public officials, as an inducement to
         have a law or regulation enacted, defeated or violated.

                  Gifts and Contributions. The general purpose of gifts and
         favors in a business context is to create goodwill. If they do more
         than that, and have the potential to unduly influence judgment or
         create a feeling of obligation, employees should not accept them.
         Employees may not solicit any kind of gift, contribution, service or
         any personal benefit from present or potential suppliers or vendors.
         Employees are prohibited from accepting gifts of money, whether
         solicited or unsolicited. Employees may not accept non-monetary
         unsolicited gifts, contributions, prizes or entertainment unless
         consistent with normal business customs. Gifts, which may be considered
         excessive, require the prior

                                       4

<PAGE>

         approval of the Compliance Officer or, the Chief Financial Officer in
         the case of the Board of Directors.

GOVERNMENT REQUESTS

         It is the Company's policy to cooperate with all reasonable requests
from government authorities. All requests for information should be responded to
with complete and accurate information. In addition, documents should always be
retained in accordance with the Company's document retention policy and should
never be concealed, altered or destroyed in anticipation of, or in response to,
any investigation. Any request for information from a government authority,
other than routine items requested in the ordinary course of business, should be
reported to the Chief Financial Officer so that the Company may consult its
legal counsel about the request prior to providing any information.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

         A conflict of interest occurs when an employee's individual private
interest interferes, or appears to interfere, in any way with the interests of
the Company. Following are certain ways that a conflict of interest may arise,
but they are by no means a comprehensive list. If any employee believes that he
or she or another employee may have an actual or potential conflict of interest
with the Company, the employee should immediately report it to his or her
supervisor or the Compliance Officer.

                  Outside Activities. The Company expects its employees to
         devote their full energies to their work during their working hours.
         Therefore, an employee's outside activities must not reflect adversely
         on the Company or give rise to a real or apparent conflict of interest
         with the employee's duties with the Company. Employees must be alert to
         potential conflicts of interests and be aware that they may be asked to
         discontinue any outside activity should such a conflict arise.

                  Personal Financial Interest. Employees, and members of their
         household, should avoid any outside financial interests that might
         conflict with the Company's interests and shall promptly notify the
         Compliance Officer upon becoming aware of any such potential conflict.

                  Protection and Use of Company Personnel or Property.
         Directors, officers and employees shall not use the Company's employees
         or property for purposes other than those related to Company business
         except as specifically authorized by their immediate supervisor.
         Employees are prohibited from the unauthorized use or taking of the
         Company's equipment, supplies, software, data, intellectual property,
         materials or products. Prior to engaging in any activity on the
         Company's time, which will result in remuneration to the employee or
         the use of Company equipment, supplies, materials or services for
         personal or non-work related purposes, employees must obtain the
         approval of their supervisor.

                  Buying or Selling Stock While Possessing Inside Information.
         Numerous complex laws regulate stock transactions. Severe civil and
         criminal penalties can be imposed on individuals and corporations
         convicted of violations. The information contained in the Code is a
         summary of the Company's Insider Trading Policy (the "Policy"), and
         employees are encouraged to consult the Policy for a complete
         description.

         1.       Employees who know any "material" fact about the Company that
                  has not been disclosed to the public ("inside information")
                  may not buy or sell the Company's stock until reasonable time
                  has passed after the information has been disclosed to the
                  public. "Material" information means facts that would be
                  likely to cause the value of the stock to go up or down.
                  Examples include knowledge of corporate, concept or store
                  level sales or expense information; earnings figures;
                  acquisitions; mergers; and sales of businesses.

         2.       In addition, employees can be legally liable if someone
                  outside the Company trades in the Company stock based on a
                  "tip" of inside information given by an employee. Company
                  policy forbids giving confidential information about the
                  Company to outsiders except under limited circumstances
                  approved by legal counsel.

         3.       Specific additional legal restrictions on Company stock
                  trading apply to corporate officers and directors, who have
                  been furnished with detailed explanations of these
                  restrictions.

         4.       Trading in the stock of outside concerns while in the
                  possession of material inside information is also prohibited.
                  Examples of material inside information, which might be
                  obtained as a result of an employee's position with the
                  Company, include proposed acquisitions of outside concerns or
                  awards of important contracts to suppliers of the Company.

FAIR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES

                  Race, Color, Religion, National Origin, Citizenship, Veteran
         Status, Sex, Age and Disability. Diversity is not only a welcomed
         reality in today's competitive work force, but also a key to increased
         productivity. Employees at the Company were recruited, selected and
         hired on the basis of individual merit and ability with respect to the
         position filled. As a business comprised of talented and diverse
         co-workers, the Company must be committed to the fair and effective
         utilization of all employees without regard to race, color, religion,
         national origin, sex, age or disability unrelated to ability to do the
         job. Employees must all keep in mind that equal employment opportunity
         is indispensable in every aspect of the employment relationship. The
         relationship covers origin, training, working conditions, benefits,
         compensation practices, employment functions (including promotion,
         demotion, discipline, transfer, termination and reduction in force) and

                                       6

<PAGE>

         Company sponsored educational, social and recreational programs. The
         Company will move affirmatively and aggressively toward full and equal
         participation for each and every one of its employees as a matter of
         sound moral, legal and business policy. The Company steadfastly
         requires all of its employees to treat each other, regardless of title
         or position, with the fairness and respect necessary to maintain a
         diverse place of employment that encourages each person to contribute
         to her or his fullest potential.

                  Harassment. Every person conducting business on Company
         premises, whether or not employed by the Company, must refrain from
         engaging in any verbal or physical conduct that could be construed as
         harassment. Conduct by an employee that is offensive or is otherwise
         damaging or harmful to another will not be tolerated. In addition, each
         employee must refrain from all types of conduct that might be
         considered sexual harassment. Such conduct may consist of making
         unwelcome sexual advances, or engaging in coercive behavior that is
         sexual in nature when the rejection of or submission to such conduct
         affects, either implicitly or explicitly, an employee's status of
         employment (e.g. pay, promotion, assignment, termination, etc.). In
         addition to offending -- if not injuring -- the victim of such conduct,
         sexual harassment is counterproductive to sound business policy. Any
         employee who experiences, witnesses or becomes aware of an act of
         harassment should report it immediately.

MISAPPROPRIATION OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

         Certain copyrights and trademarks owned by the Company are valuable
assets. Each employee must carefully consider any action that could dilute or
affect in any way the Company's copyright and trademark interests. No employee
should enter into any agreement to transfer, assign or license the Company's
copyrights or trademarks without the prior approval of the Company's Chief
Financial Officer, President or Chief Executive Officer.

         In addition to protecting the Company's intellectual property rights,
the Company respects the valid intellectual property rights of others. It is the
policy of the Company to comply fully with all laws of the United States and
each state where the Company conducts business concerning intellectual property
matters. No employee shall copy, cause to have copies made or otherwise use any
video tapes, audio tapes, other sound recordings, written works, musical works,
computer software or any other "work of authorship" protected by copyright in
violation of such copyright without the written consent of the copyright holder.
Such written consent shall be obtained whether or not the "work of authorship"
bears evidence of copyright. Software programs, which are licensed to the
Company for use by its employees, are subject to specific use requirements as
authorized in the licensing agreement. No employee should copy any software
programs owned or used by the Company until the employee has contacted the
Company's Chief Information Officer to determine whether such copying is
permitted.

         Any question whether a proposed action would infringe upon the rights
of another company or individual should be referred directly to the Chief
Executive Officer, President or Chief Financial Officer. Such matters include
copying or distributing written work prepared by others, using signs or symbols
that may be trademarks or service marks, or doing Company business under any
name other than the Company's or any subsidiary's name.

         In addition, employees shall not use confidential business information
obtained from competitors, including customer lists, price lists, contracts, or
other information in violation of a covenant not to compete, prior employment
agreements or in any other manner likely to provide an unfair or illegal
competitive advantage to the Company.

SAFETY AND QUALITY OF FOOD AND OTHER PRODUCTS

         The safety and quality of the Company's food and other products are
critical to maintaining the trust of customers and the Company's reputation. It
is a goal of the Company to provide safe products that meet high quality
standards. It is the policy of the Company to comply with all food and product
safety laws applicable to the Company and its operations. Each employee is
expected to acquaint himself or herself with all food safety and other laws and
procedures applicable to the employee's assigned duties and comply with all such
laws and procedures.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

         It is the policy of the Company to comply with all environmental laws
and regulations as they relate to our operations. We will comply with all
environmental laws and operate each of our restaurants, our commissaries and
other facilities with the necessary permits, approvals and controls. Each
employee should diligently employ proper procedures with respect to the handling
of hazardous materials and immediately alert his or her supervisor to any
discharge of hazardous material or any situations, which may be potentially
damaging to the environment.

PURCHASING

         Employees purchasing products on behalf of the Company must do so based
on the best interests of the Company without regard to outside influences or
personal interests. Employees making purchasing decisions on behalf of the
Company should, consistent with the Company's policies, obtain bids for products
and services, evaluate the quality of goods and services provided and verify
product liability coverage by the supplier. Agreements with suppliers should be
written and clearly set forth the terms of the purchase.

CODE IMPLEMENTATION

         Ethical conduct means being correct from the standpoint of legal,
propriety and social judgment. It also means avoiding any actions that would
violate these standards.

                                       8

<PAGE>

         All Directors and above are required to read, understand and refer to
this Code. Compliance with the conduct policies set forth in this Code is
required of all personnel. Enforcement is the direct responsibility of every
supervisor.

         If an employee becomes aware of any illegal or unethical conduct or
behavior in violation of this Code by anyone working for or on behalf of the
Company, that employee should report it promptly, fully and objectively to
people who are in a position to respond to the matter, preferably in writing.
The normal disclosure procedure involves reporting misconduct to a supervisor.

         If an employee wishes to remain completely anonymous, that employee may
submit his or her report through 800/43 CHARLEY (800/432-4275) if they are with
O'Charley's or Stoney River, or 877/293-0299 for Ninety-Nine Restaurant & Pub
employees. All reports must contain sufficient information for an appropriate
investigation to occur. The Company will attempt to treat such reports with the
utmost discretion and to protect the identity of the employee who has made the
request to the maximum extent and as may be permitted under applicable law.

         When an employee is in doubt as to how a specific ethical or other
situation covered by this Code should be handled, the employee should seek
assistance from other Company sources. As a general rule, the employee should
initially address such questions to his or her own supervisor. If the
supervisor's response is not satisfactory or if, because of the nature of the
issue, the employee would prefer to report the problem to someone else, the
employee should report to the next highest level of authority. If these
procedures do not satisfactorily deal with the situation, the employee should
take the matter up with the Human Resources Manager, the Vice-President of Human
Resources Support Services or the Compliance Officer, whose role is discussed
below.

         All reports will be investigated. Upon receipt of credible reports of
suspected violations or irregularities, the supervisor or Compliance Officer
shall see that corrective action takes place appropriately. The Company will
weigh relevant facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, the
extent to which the behavior was contrary to the express language or general
intent of the Code, the seriousness of the behavior, the employee's history with
the Company and other factors which the Company deems relevant. Violations of
the Code may result in discipline ranging from warnings and reprimand to
discharge or, where appropriate, the filing of a civil or criminal complaint. In
addition, managers and supervisors may be sanctioned for failure to instruct
adequately their subordinates or for failing to detect non-compliance with
applicable policies and legal requirements, where reasonable diligence on the
part of the manager or supervisor would have led to the discovery of any
problems or violations and given the Company the opportunity to correct them
earlier.

         No adverse action or retribution of any kind will be taken by the
Company against an employee solely because he or she reports in good faith a
suspected violation of this Code or other irregularity by any person other than
the reporting employee. Any

                                       9

<PAGE>

employee responsible for retaliation against an individual who in good faith
reports a known or suspected violation will be subject to disciplinary action.
Any employee who knowingly makes a false report will be subject to disciplinary
action.

         If an employee is approached by anyone inside or outside of the Company
with a request to do something the employee recognizes to be illegal or
unethical, the employee should refuse. The employee should tell the person
making the request that such conduct is contrary to the Company's policy and
then report the incident to the employee's supervisor. No supervisor may direct
a subordinate to violate this Code.

THIS CODE SETS FORTH GENERAL GUIDELINES ONLY AND MAY NOT INCLUDE ALL
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WOULD FALL WITHIN THE INTENT OF THE CODE AND BE CONSIDERED A
VIOLATION THAT SHOULD BE REPORTED. EMPLOYEES SHOULD REPORT ALL SUSPECTED
DISHONEST OR ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED
IN THE CODE.

         Compliance Officer. In order to help ensure compliance with this Code,
the Company has appointed a Compliance Officer who is the Company's Chief
Support Officer. The Compliance Officer will have the responsibility for
overseeing the following duties:

         1.       Coordinating periodic reviews and updating this Code as
                  necessary;

         2.       Ensuring that each employee who is subject to the Code of
                  Conduct, or who has responsibility as a process owner for
                  decisions made within the company, is given a copy of this
                  Code immediately after employment and that each such employee
                  signs an acknowledgment annually that he or she has read,
                  understands and supports this Code;

         3.       Maintaining records related to this Code; and

         4.       Performing such other activities as may be reasonably related
                  to the foregoing or are required to ensure a successful
                  application of the program contemplated by this Code.

         The Compliance Officer shall make periodic reports to the Company's
         Chief Executive Officer and the Audit Committee of the Board of
         Directors concerning compliance with these requirements.

                  Waiver. A waiver of any provision of this Code with respect to
         the Company, the CFO, COO or the CEO may only be given by the Audit
         Committee of the Board of Directors.

RESERVATION OF RIGHTS

         The Company reserves the right to amend this Code, in whole or in part,
at any time and solely at its discretion.
