CONSTRUCTION DEFAULT. If Borrower fails in any respect to comply with the
provisions of this Agreement or if construction ceases before completion

Advances, may accelerate the indebtedness under the terms of the Note, and
without thereby impairing any of its rights, powers, or privileges, may enter
into possession of the construction site and perform or cause to be performed
any and all work and labor necessary to complete the improvements, substantially
in accordance with the Plans and Specifications.

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION. If any of the Collateral or Improvements is damaged or
destroyed by casualty of any nature, within sixty (60) days thereafter Borrower
shall restore the Collateral and Improvements to the condition in which they
were before such damage or destruction with funds other than those in the Loan
Fund. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements under this Agreement
until such restoration has been accomplished.

ADEQUATE SECURITY. When any event occurs that Lender determines may endanger
completion of the Project or the fulfillment of any condition or covenant in

after delivery of a written request, adequate security to eliminate, reduce, or
indemnify Lender against, such danger. In addition, upon such occurrence, Lender
in its sole discretion may advance funds or agree to undertake to advance funds
to any party to eliminate, reduce, or indemnify Lender against, such danger or
to complete the Project. All sums paid by Lender pursuant to such agreements or
undertakings shall be for Borrower's account and shall be without prejudice to
Borrower's rights, if any, to receive such funds from the party to whom paid.

Project or protect Lender's interests shall be payable to Lender on demand
together with interest from the date of the Advance at the rate applicable to

Guarantor's guaranty of the Loan or any other loan with Lender; or (E) Lender in
good faith deems itself insecure, even though no Event of Default shall have
occurred.

LIMITATION OF RESPONSIBILITY. The making of any Advance by Lender shall not
constitute or be interpreted as either (A) an approval or acceptance by Lender
of the work done through the date of the Advance, or (B) a representation or
indemnity by Lender to any party against any deficiency or defect in the work or
against any breach of contract. Inspections and approvals of the Plans and
Specifications, the improvements, the workmanship and materials used in the
Improvements, and the exercise of any other right of inspection, approval, or
inquiry granted to Lender in this Agreement are acknowledged to be solely for
the protection of Lender's interests, and under no circumstances shall they be
construed to impose any responsibility of any nature whatsoever on Lender to any
party. Neither Borrower nor any contractor, subcontractor, materialman, laborer,
or any other person shall rely, or have any right to rely, upon Lender's
determination

                           CONSTRUCTION LOAN AGREEMENT
                                   (CONTINUED)

                                                                          PAGE 8


of the appropriateness of any Advance. No disbursement or approval by Lender
shall constitute a representation by Lender as to the nature of the Project, its
construction, or is intended use for Borrower or for any other person, nor shall
it constitute an indemnity by Lender to Borrower or to any other person against
deficiency or defects in the Project or against any breach of any contract.

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that, so long
as this Agreement remains in effect, Borrower will:

NOTICES OF CLAIMS AND LITIGATION. Promptly inform Lender in writing of (1) all
material adverse changes in Borrower's financial condition, and (2) all existing
and all threatened litigation, claims, investigations, administrative
proceedings or similar actions affecting Borrower or any Guarantor which could
materially affect the financial condition of Borrower or the financial condition
of any Guarantor.

FINANCIAL RECORDS. Maintain its books and records in accordance with GAAP,
applied on a consistent basis, and permit Lender to examine and audit Borrower's
books and records at all reasonable times.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Furnish Lender with the following:

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS. Bank may request financial monitoring information.

All financial reports required to be provided under this Agreement shall be
prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis, and certified
by Borrower as being true and correct.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. Furnish such additional information and statements,
lists of assets and liabilities, agings of receivables and payables, inventory
schedules, budgets, forecasts, tax returns, and other reports with respect to
Borrower's financial condition and business operations as Lender may request
from time to time.

FINANCIAL COVENANTS AND RATIOS. Comply with the following covenants and ratios:

OTHER REQUIREMENTS. DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO (DSCR): At least 1.20 to 1.0.
EBITDA shall be calculated as follows: for any period the sum of (A) net income
before income taxes, plus interest expense, plus depreciation expense and
amortization expense, plus or minus non cash adjustments to net income, plus or
minus extraordinary losses or gains, divided by (B) Debt Service (defined as
principal and interest) plus capital lease payments.

LEVERAGE RATIO: Not to exceed 6.0 to 1.0. Leverage Ratio shall be calculated as
follows: for any period (A) Total Funded Debt divided by (B) EBITDA (defined
above). Total Funded Debt shall be calculated as (a) the aggregate amount of all
current and non-current indebtedness for borrowed money, plus (b) the aggregate
amount of all current and non-current outstanding capital lease obligations. To
the extent the actual number of months a restaurant has been open for business
is less than twelve months as of the measurement date, the Total Funded Debt for
such restaurant shall be reduced by a fraction: the numerator of which is twelve
months minus the number of months the restaurant was opened during the
measurement period, and the denominator of which is twelve.

Both the DSCR and the Leverage Ratio will be measured at the consolidated
O'Charley's/Wendy's of Michigan operation level, and will be measured on a
trailing 12-month basis beginning the first full month six months after a new
store opening.

Except as provided above, all computations made to determine compliance with the
requirements contained in this paragraph shall be made in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, applied on a consistent basis, and
certified by Borrower as being true and correct.

OTHER AGREEMENTS. Comply with all terms and conditions of all other agreements,
whether now or hereafter existing, between Borrower and any other party and
notify Lender immediately in writing of any default in connection with any other
such agreements.

will deliver to Lender from time to time the policies or certificates of
insurance in form satisfactory to Lender, including stipulations that coverages
will not be cancelled or diminished without at least thirty (30) days prior

endorsement providing that coverage in favor of Lender will not be impaired in
any way by any act, omission or default of Borrower or any other person. In

Borrower.

and provisions set forth in this Agreement, in the Related Documents, and in all

Borrower now or at any time hereafter maintains any records (including without
limitation computer generated records and computer software programs for the
generation of such records) in the possession of a third party, Borrower, upon
request of Lender, shall notify such party to permit Lender free access to such
records at all reasonable times and to provide Lender with copies of any records
it may request, all at Borrower's expense.

COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES. Unless waived in writing by Lender, provide Lender at
least annually, with a certificate executed by Borrower's chief financial
officer, or other officer or person acceptable to Lender, certifying that the
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are true and correct
as of the date of the certificate and further certifying that, as of the date of
the certificate, no Event of Default exists under this Agreement.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT. Commence construction of the Project no later than
_____________, and cause the improvements to be constructed and equipped in a
diligent and orderly manner and in strict accordance with the Plans and
Specifications approved by Lender, the Construction Contract, and all applicable
laws, ordinances, codes, regulations, and rights of adjoining or concurrent
property owners. Borrower agrees to complete the Project for purposes of final
payment to the General Contractor on or before ________________, regardless of
the reason for any delay.

DEFECTS. Upon demand of Lender, promptly correct any defect in the Improvements
or any departure from the Plans and Specifications not approved by Lender in
writing before further work shall be done upon the portion of the Improvements
affected.

PROJECT CLAIMS AND LITIGATION. Promptly inform Lender of (1) all material
adverse changes in the financial condition of the General Contractor; (2) any
litigation and claims, actual or threatened, affecting the Project or the
General Contractor, which could materially affect the successful completion of
the Project or the ability of the General Contractor to complete the Project as
agreed; and (3) any condition or event which constitutes a breach or default
under any of the Related Documents or any contract related to the Project.

PAYMENT OF CLAIMS AND REMOVAL OF LIENS. (1) Cause all claims for labor done and
materials and services furnished in connection with the improvements to be fully
paid and discharged in a timely manner, (2) diligently file or procure the
filing of a valid notice of completion of the Improvements, or such comparable
document as may be permitted under applicable lien laws, (3) diligently file or
procure the filing of a notice of cessation, or such comparable document as may
be permitted under applicable lien laws, upon the happening of cessation of
labor on the Improvements for a continuous period of thirty (30) days or more,
and (4) take all reasonable steps necessary to remove all claims of liens
against the Collateral, the Improvements or any part of the Collateral or
Improvements, or any rights or interests appurtenant to the Collateral or
Improvements. Upon Lender's request, Borrower shall make such demands or claims
upon or against laborers, materialmen, subcontractors, or other persons who have
furnished or claim to have furnished labor, services, or materials in connection
with the Improvements, which demands or claims shall under the laws of the State
of Michigan require diligent assertions of lien claims upon penalty of loss or
waiver thereof. Borrower shall, within ten (10) days after the filing of any
claim of lien that is disputed or contested by Borrower, provide Lender with a
surety bond issued by a surety acceptable to Lender sufficient to release the
claim of lien or deposit with Lender an amount satisfactory to Lender for the
possibility that the contest will be unsuccessful. If Borrower fails to remove
any lien on the Collateral or Improvements or provide a bond or deposit pursuant
to this provision, Lender may pay such lien, or may contest the validity of the
lien, and Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of such contest, including
Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees.

TAXES AND CLAIMS. Pay and discharge when due all of Borrower's indebtedness,
obligations, and claims that, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon the
Collateral or Improvements; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be
required to pay and discharge any such indebtedness, obligation, or claim so
long as (1) its legality shall be contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings, (2) the indebtedness, obligation, or claim does not become a lien
or charge upon the Collateral or Improvements, and (3) Borrower shall have
established on its books adequate reserves with respect to the amount contested
in accordance with GAAP. If the indebtedness, obligation, or claim does become a
lien or charge upon the Collateral or Improvements, Borrower shall remove the
lien or charge as provided in the preceding paragraph.

such investigations, studies, samplings and testings as may be requested by
Lender or any governmental authority relative to any substance, or any waste or
by-product of any substance defined as toxic or a hazardous substance under
applicable federal, state, or local law, rule, regulation, order or directive,
at or affecting any property or any facility owned, leased or used by Borrower.

ADDITIONAL ASSURANCES. Make, execute and deliver to Lender such promissory
notes, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, assignments, financing
statements, instruments, documents and other agreements as Lender or its
attorneys may reasonably request to evidence and secure the Loans and to perfect
all Security Interests in the Collateral and Improvements.

LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Borrower fails to
comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Borrower's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Borrower is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related
Documents, Lender on Borrower's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and
other claims, at any time levied or placed on any Collateral and paying all
costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving any Collateral. All such
expenditures incurred or paid by lender for such purposes will then bear
interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by
Lender to the date of repayment by Borrower. All such expenses will become a
part of the indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand;
(B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable
with any installment payments to become due either (1) the term of any
applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be
treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's
maturity.

NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that while this
Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of
Lender:

of business and indebtedness to Lender contemplated by this Agreement, create,
incur or assume indebtedness for borrowed money, including capital leases, (2)
sell, transfer, mortgage, assign, pledge, lease, grant a security interest in,
or encumber any of Borrower's assets (except as allowed as Permitted Liens), or
(3) sell with recourse any of Borrower's accounts, except to Lender.

CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS. (1) Engage in any business activities substantially
different than those in which Borrower is presently engaged, (2) cease
operations, liquidate, merge, transfer, acquire or consolidate with any other
entity, change its name, dissolve or transfer or sell Collateral out of the
ordinary course of business, or (3) make any distribution with respect to any
capital account, whether by reduction of capital or otherwise.

LOANS, ACQUISITIONS AND GUARANTIES. (1) Loan, invest in or advance money or
assets to any other person, enterprise or entity. (2) purchase, create or
acquire any interest in any other enterprise or entity, or (3) incur any
obligation as surety or guarantor other than in the ordinary course of business.

MODIFICATION OF CONTRACT. Make or permit to be made any modification of the
Construction Contract.

LIENS. Create or allow to be created any lien or charge upon the Collateral or
the Improvements.

AGREEMENTS. Borrower will not enter into any agreement containing any provisions
which would be violated or breached by the performance of Borrower's obligations
under this Agreement or in connection herewith.

GENERAL PROJECT PROVISIONS. The following provisions relate to the construction
and completion of the Project:

CHANGE ORDERS. All requests for changes in the Plans and Specifications, other
than minor changes involving no extra cost, must be in writing, signed by
Borrower and the architect, and delivered to Lender for its approval. Borrower
will not permit the performance of any work pursuant to any change order or
modification of the Construction Contract or any subcontract without the written
approval of Lender. Borrower will obtain any required permits or authorizations
from governmental authorities having jurisdiction before approving or requesting
a new change order.

                                                                         PAGE 12


PURCHASE OF MATERIALS; CONDITIONAL SALES CONTRACTS. NO MATERIALS, equipment,
fixtures, or articles of personal property placed in or incorporated into the
Project shall be purchased or installed under any Security Agreement or other
agreement whereby the seller reserves or purports to reserve title or the right
of removal or repossession, or the right to consider such items as personal
property after their incorporation into the Project, unless otherwise authorized
by Lender in writing.

LENDER'S RIGHT OF ENTRY AND INSPECTION. Lender and its agents shall have at all
times the right of entry and free access to the Property and the right to
inspect all work done, labor performed, and materials furnished with respect to
the Project. Lender shall have unrestricted access to and the right to copy all
records, accounting books, contracts, subcontracts, bills, statements, vouchers,
and supporting documents of Borrower relating in any way to the Project.

LENDER'S RIGHT TO STOP WORK. If Lender in good faith determines that any work or
materials do not conform to the approved Plans and Specifications or sound
building practices, or otherwise depart from any of the requirements of this
Agreement, Lender may require the work to be stopped and withhold disbursements
until the matter is corrected. In such event, Borrower will promptly correct the
work to Lender's satisfaction. No such action by Lender will affect Borrower's
obligation to complete the improvements on or before the Completion Date. Lender
is under no duty to supervise or inspect the construction or examine any books
and records. Any inspection or examination by Lender is for the sole purpose of
protecting Lender's security and preserving Lender's rights under this
Agreement. No default of Borrower will be waived by any inspection by Lender. In
no event will any inspection by Lender be a representation that there has been
or will be compliance with the Plans and Specifications or that the construction
is free from defective materials or workmanship.

INDEMNITY. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from any and all
claims asserted against Lender or the Property by any person, entity, or
governmental body, or arising out of or in connection with the Property,
Improvements, or Project. Lender shall be entitled to appear in any proceedings
to defend itself against such claims, and all costs and expenses reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred by Lender in connection with such defense shall be paid
by Borrower to Lender. Lender shall, in its sole discretion, be entitled to
settle or compromise any asserted claims against it, and such settlement shall
be binding upon Borrower for purposes of this indemnification. All amounts paid
by Lender under this paragraph shall be secured by Lender's security agreement
or Mortgage, if any, on the Property, shall be deemed an additional principal
Advance under the Loan, payable upon demand, and shall bear interest at the rate
applicable to the Loan.

PUBLICITY. Lender may display a sign at the construction site informing the
public that Lender is the construction lender for the Project. Lender may obtain
other publicity in connection with the Project through press releases and
participation in ground-breaking and opening ceremonies and similar events.

ACTIONS. Lender shall have the right to commence, appear in, or defend any
action or proceeding purporting to affect the rights, duties, or liabilities of
the parties to this Agreement, or the disbursement of funds from the Loan Fund.
In connection with this right, Lender may incur and pay reasonable costs,
expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees. Borrower covenants to pay to Lender on
demand all such expenses, together with interest from the date Lender incurs the
expenses at the rate specified in the Note, and Lender is authorized to disburse
funds from the Loan Fund for such purposes.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a
right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking,
savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds
jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future.
However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts
for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the
indebtedness against any and all such accounts, and, at Lender's option, to
administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Lender to protect Lender's
charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph.

Agreement:

obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any of the

or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.

FALSE STATEMENTS. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to

Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the
time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.

proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any
other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against

accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of
Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the
validity or reasonable ness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or
forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety
bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by
Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the
dispute.

and diligently prosecute appropriate action to contest in good faith the
validity of such condemnation, seizure, or appropriation.

EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to

condition, or Lender believes the prospect of payment or performance of the Loan
is impaired.

EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default and at any time thereafter, Lender may, at its option, but without any
obligation to do so, and in addition to any other right Lender without notice to
Borrower may have, do any one or more of the following without notice to
Borrower: (a) Cancel this Agreement; (b) Institute appropriate proceedings to
enforce the performance of this Agreement; (c) Withhold further disbursement of
Loan Funds; (d) Expend funds necessary to remedy the default; (e) Take
possession of the Property and continue construction of the Project; (f)
Accelerate maturity of the Note and/or Indebtedness and demand payment of all
sums due under the Note and/or Indebtedness; (g) Bring an action on the Note
and/or Indebtedness; (h) Foreclose Lender's security agreement or Mortgage, if
any, on the Property in any manner available under law; and (i) Exercise any
other right or remedy which it has under the Note or Related Documents, or which
is otherwise available at law or in equity or by statute.

COMPLETION OF IMPROVEMENTS BY LENDER. If Lender takes possession of the
Collateral, it may take any and all actions necessary in its judgment to
complete construction of the Improvements, including but not limited to making
changes in the Plans and Specifications, work, or materials and entering into,
modifying or terminating any contractual arrangements, subject to Lender's right
at any time to discontinue any work without liability. If Lender elects to
complete the Improvements, it will not assume any liability to Borrower or to
any other person for completing the Improvements or for the manner or quality of
construction of the Improvements, and Borrower expressly waives any such
liability. Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with
full power of substitution, to complete the Improvements, at Lender's option,
either in Borrower's name or in its own name. In any event, all sums expended by
Lender in completing the construction of the Improvements will be considered to
have been disbursed to Borrower and will be secured by the Collateral for the
Loan. Any such sums that cause the principal amount of the Loan to exceed the
face amount of the Note will be considered to be an additional Loan to Borrower,
bearing interest at the Note rate and being secured by the Collateral. For these
purposes, Borrower assigns to Lender all of its right, title and interest in and
to the Project Documents; however Lender will not have any obligation under the
Project Documents unless Lender expressly hereafter agrees to assume such
obligations in writing. Lender will have the right to exercise any rights of
Borrower under the Project Documents upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights and
remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any other writing, shall be
cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.

ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. Borrower shall provide Lender with the following
additional documents:

ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION AND COMPANY RESOLUTIONS. Borrower has provided or will
provide Lender with a certified copy of Borrower's Articles of Organization,
together with a certified copy of resolutions properly adopted by the members of
the company, under which the members authorized one or more designated members
or employees to execute this Agreement, the Note and any and all Security
Agreements directly or indirectly securing repayment of the same, and to
consummate the borrowings and other transactions as contemplated under this
Agreement, and to consent to the remedies following any default by Borrower as
provided in this Agreement and in any Security Agreements.

OPINION OF COUNSEL. When required by Lender, Borrower has provided or will
provide Lender with an opinion of Borrower's counsel certifying to and that: (1)
Borrower's Note, any Security Agreements and this Agreement constitute valid and
binding obligations on Borrower's part that are enforceable in accordance with
their respective terms; (2) Borrower is validly existing and in good standing;
(3) Borrower has authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated under this Agreement; and (4) such other matters as
