     has either of them performed, arranged for or allowed by any method or
     procedure such transportation, storage, treatment or disposal in
     contravention of any laws or regulations. Neither of the Harlan Companies
     has disposed, or allowed or arranged for any third parties to dispose, of
     Hazardous Substances or other waste upon the Leasehold Premises, except as
     permitted by law. For purposes of this Section 3.12.1, the term "Hazardous
     Substances" shall have the meaning given it in the Comprehensive
     Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. Sections
     9601, et seq.), as amended, and the regulations promulgated pursuant
     thereto ("CERCLA"), or any similar state law.

          3.12.2  Since the acquisition of the Leasehold Premises, Harlan has 
     not permitted to occur, nor is there presently occurring, a Release of any
     Hazardous Substance on, into 

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
     or beneath the surface of the Leasehold Premises, except that the parties
     acknowledge that Harlan discharges wastewater into the sewage treatment
     plant of the West Central Conservancy District. For purposes of this
     Section 3.12.2, the term "Release" shall mean releasing, spilling, leaking,
     pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping,
     leaching, disposing or dumping.

          3.12.3  Neither of the Harlan Companies has transported or disposed, 
     nor has it allowed or arranged for any third parties to transport or
     dispose, any Hazardous Substance or other waste to or at a site which,
     pursuant to CERCLA or any similar state law: (a) has been placed on the
     National Priorities List or its state equivalent, or (b) the Environmental
     Protection Agency or the relevant state agency has proposed or is proposing
     to place on the National Priorities List or its state equivalent. Neither
     of the Harlan Companies has received notice, or has any knowledge of any
     facts which could give rise to any notice, that either of the Harlan
     Companies is a potentially responsible party for a federal or state
     environmental cleanup site or for corrective action under CERCLA or any
     other applicable law or regulation. Neither of the Harlan Companies has
     submitted nor was either of them required to submit any notice pursuant to
     Section 103(c) of CERCLA with respect to the real estate that is covered by
     the Lease. Neither of the Harlan Companies has received any written or oral
     request for information in connection with any federal or state
     environmental cleanup site. Neither of the Harlan Companies has undertaken
     (or been requested to undertake) any response or remedial actions or clean-
     up action of any kind at the request of any federal, state or local
     governmental entity, or at the request of any other person or entity.

          3.12.4  Neither of the Harlan Companies uses, or has used, any 
     Underground Storage Tanks, and, except as set forth in Schedule 3.12
     hereto, the Harlan Companies are not aware of any Underground Storage Tanks
     previously or currently on or under the Leasehold Premises. For purposes of
     this Section 3.12.4, the term "Underground Storage Tanks" shall have the
     meaning given it in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C.
     Sections 6901 et seq.).

          3.12.5  Schedule 3.12 hereto identifies (a) all environmental audits,
     assessments or occupational health studies relating to the assets,
     properties or business of either of the Harlan Companies undertaken by
     governmental agencies or either of the Harlan Companies or their agents;
     (b) the results of any ground, water, soil, air or asbestos monitoring
     undertaken with respect to the Leasehold Premises, except for tests of
     sewage discharge, which are summarized in Schedule 3.12; (c) all written
     communications between either of the Harlan Companies and any environmental
     agencies within the past three years; and (d) all citations issued to
     either of the Harlan Companies within the past three years under the
     Occupational Safety and Health Act (29 U.S.C. Sections 651 et seq.).

Article 5.0  Certain Covenants of the Harlan Companies

     5.1  The Supplier will complete the acquisition of the Bagel Equipment and
the installation of the Second Bagel Line, as further provided in this Article
5.0 and Article 8.0 hereof, and subject to the approval of ENBC, with such
changes therein as may be reasonably requested by ENBC.  The Supplier agrees to
consult with such representatives and consultants as

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
ENBC may engage, to the extent requested by ENBC during the installation of the
Second Bagel Line.

     5.2  The Supplier will cause the Second Bagel Line to be installed and
ready for testing on or about  January 7, 1998 and operational by January 24,
1998, subject to events beyond the reasonable control of the Supplier.

     5.3  The Harlan Companies agree that the use of any portion of the
Production Facility or the Bagel Lines for production of any products for
persons other than ENBC, ENBC Subsidiaries, ENBC Franchisees and Authorized
Recipients shall be subject to ENBC's prior written approval, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided that ENBC hereby consents to the Harlan
Companies' use of the Production Facility in the manner identified on Schedule
5.3 hereto.  The parties agree that it shall not be unreasonable for ENBC's
approval to be subject to (i) ENBC being satisfied that Proprietary Information
of ENBC will not be subject to a risk of unauthorized use or disclosure by
reason of such use of the Production Facility, (ii) ENBC being satisfied that
such use of the Production Facility will not interfere with or otherwise
adversely effect the use of the Production Facility to produce Products under
this Agreement, (iii) adjustment of the Toll Charge on terms mutually acceptable
to ENBC and Harlan, to permit sharing of the benefits of leveraging Occupancy
Cost, and (iv) adjustment of the manner in which the Shortfall Amount and the
Excess Amount are calculated pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof, on mutually
acceptable terms.

     5.4  Commencing on the date hereof, and continuing until the later of any
exercise of the option by ENBC pursuant to the Option Agreement or the
termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Harlan Companies agree to
deliver to ENBC the financial statements required to be provided to the Mortgage
Holders and Working Capital Lenders under their respective credit agreements
with said Mortgage Holders and Working Capital Lenders as in effect on the date
hereof (whether or not such credit agreements hereafter remain in effect or are
amended or modified), together with any copies of any amendments or
modifications to such credit agreements promptly upon their becoming effective.

Article 6.0  Designation of the Supplier as an Approved Supplier; Purchase and
             Sale of the Products

     6.1  ENBC hereby designates the Supplier as an approved supplier of
Products to ENBC, ENBC Subsidiaries, ENBC Franchisees and Authorized Recipients
(as hereinafter defined).  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
herein, and during the Term hereof, the Supplier agrees to sell to ENBC, ENBC
Subsidiaries, ENBC Franchisees and Authorized Recipients Products produced by
the Supplier at the Production Facility.

     6.2  The Harlan Companies jointly and severally agree that during the Term,
and for a period of one year thereafter, none of the Harlan Companies or any
Affiliate of the Harlan Companies shall, without the prior written consent of
ENBC, produce any bagels or bagel dough for sale or distribution to any
specialty bagel retail establishment (which shall be defined for this purpose as
any retail establishment (including any retail delicatessen and any doughnut
shop or

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
other specialty bakery store but excluding delicatessens located in
supermarkets, convenience stores or grocery stores that do not use a brand name
of a specialty bagel retailer)  that derives a significant amount of its revenue
from the sale of bagels and bagel-related products).  In addition, the Harlan
Companies jointly and severally agree that during the Term, none of the Harlan
Companies or any Affiliate of the Harlan Companies shall enter into any
agreement to produce pre-proofed raw frozen bagels for Maplehurst Bakeries, Inc.
("Maplehurst") or any Affiliate of Maplehurst unless Maplehurst has agreed in
writing that the restrictions set forth in Section 3.1 of the supply agreement
dated as of August 2, 1994 between Harlan and Maplehurst do not apply to the
supply of Products by the Harlan Companies under this Agreement or the Short-
Term Supply Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 6.2, an "Affiliate" shall
mean any person or entity that controls or is controlled by, or is under common
control with, such person, and the term "control" (including the terms
"controlling," "controlled by" and "under common control with") shall mean the
possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of
the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting
shares, by contract, or otherwise.

     6.3  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
ENBC may at any time arrange upon reasonable notice to the Supplier for the
Products to be sold to ENBC, ENBC Subsidiaries and ENBC Franchisees through one
or more subsidiaries, affiliates, joint ventures, area developers, franchisees,
vendors, processors or other persons ("Authorized Recipients") or for the
Products otherwise to be sold directly to such other Authorized Recipients,
subject to the Supplier's right to be reasonably satisfied as to the
creditworthiness of any Authorized Recipients.  In such event (a) orders may be
placed with the Supplier by such Authorized Recipients, rather than by ENBC,
ENBC Subsidiaries or ENBC Franchisees, and the obligation to pay for the
Products delivered to any Authorized Recipient shall be solely that of the
Authorized Recipient and not the obligation of ENBC or any ENBC Subsidiary or
ENBC Franchisee, (b) the provisions of this Article governing the purchase and
sale of the Products shall continue to govern the purchase and sale of such
Products, (c) the provisions of Article 7.0 shall govern the pricing of the
Products to Authorized Recipient, and (d) the product warranties in Article 9.0,
the covenants in Sections 10.1 and 10.2, and the indemnification and insurance
provisions in Article 11.0 shall be made for the benefit of ENBC or the ENBC
Subsidiary or ENBC Franchisee that ultimately purchases the Products, as well as
for the benefit of the Authorized Recipient. The Supplier may cease the supply
of Products to ENBC or any ENBC Subsidiary, ENBC Franchisee or Authorized
Recipient, as the case may be, if any balance owed to the Supplier by such
entity is not paid within 30 days after it has become due.  ENBC will cooperate
with Supplier to resolve any disputes with ENBC Subsidiaries, ENBC Franchisees
or Authorized Recipients.

     6.4  ENBC, ENBC Subsidiaries, ENBC Franchisees and Authorized Recipients
shall notify the Supplier from time to time of the quantity of Products they
wish to purchase from the Supplier by placing purchase orders with the Supplier.
Each order shall be filled by the Supplier within seven days after the
Supplier's receipt of the order.  During the term hereof, the Supplier shall
sell to ENBC, ENBC Subsidiaries, ENBC Franchisees and Authorized Recipients the
Products ordered by them, up to a maximum aggregate of (a) 2,630,880 dozen
bagels per Accounting Period which consists of four weeks, and (b) 3,288,600
dozen bagels per Accounting

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
Period which consists of five weeks.  ENBC agrees to use reasonable best efforts
to provide the Supplier, at the beginning of each Accounting Period, with
rolling good faith estimates of the volume of Products it expects to be ordered
from the Supplier under this Section 6.4 in such Accounting Period and the two
succeeding Accounting Periods, but such estimates shall be used for planning
purposes only and shall not be deemed orders or otherwise create any commitment
whatsoever on the part of ENBC.

     6.5  The Products shall be produced (a) using such formulations as ENBC
shall specify from time to time in writing (the "Formulations"), (b) in
accordance with such size, weight and other specifications as ENBC shall
establish from time to time in writing (the "Specifications"), and (c) in
accordance with such manufacturing procedures as ENBC shall specify from time to
time in writing (the "Procedures"), including the Formulations, Specifications
and Procedures set forth in the Schedule of Formulations, Specifications and
Procedures delivered concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement.  The Formulations, Specifications and Procedures that are not
specified in writing as of the date hereof shall be committed to writing by ENBC
as soon as reasonably practicable and shall be in such form as ENBC deems
appropriate to minimize disclosure of Proprietary Information (as defined in
Section 12.1), and the Supplier agrees that it shall not analyze or reverse
engineer any such Formulations, Specifications and Procedures or any ingredients
supplied for use therein.  All Formulations, Specifications and Procedures are
subject to change upon reasonable written notice from ENBC to the Supplier at
any time, except that (x) the Supplier shall have such time as may be reasonably
necessary for the Supplier to implement such changed Formulations,
Specifications and Procedures in its production of the Products, and (y) certain
changes in Formulations, Specifications and Procedures may result in an
adjustment to the Toll Charge, as provided in Section 7.4.  All Formulations,
Specifications and Procedures shall be owned exclusively by ENBC but the
Supplier shall have a royalty-free nonexclusive license, without the right to
grant sublicenses, to use such Formulations, Specifications and Procedures
solely to produce Products for sale to ENBC, ENBC Subsidiaries, ENBC Franchisees
and Authorized Recipients under this Agreement.

     6.6  ENBC shall have the right to have one or more of its employees or
representatives who are engaged in ENBC's product development present at the
Production Facility at any time that the Supplier is producing the Products and
all such individuals will comply with the Supplier's established policies and
procedures applicable to similarly situated employees and will be bound by the
confidentiality provisions of Article 12.0 hereof.

     6.7  The Products shall be packaged using such packaging materials and
labeling as shall be determined by ENBC.  The Supplier agrees to maintain an
inventory of such packaging materials and labels which shall be consistent with
the quantity of Products estimated in the rolling good faith estimates made by
ENBC pursuant to Section 6.4 above or as otherwise reasonably directed by ENBC.
All trademarks, trade names and trade dress appearing on or in packaging and
labeling shall be the exclusive property of ENBC but the Supplier shall have a
royalty-free nonexclusive license, without the right to grant sublicenses, to
use such trademarks and trade dress solely to package and label the Products
manufactured in accordance with the 

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
provisions of this Agreement for sale to ENBC, ENBC Subsidiaries, ENBC
Franchisees and Authorized Recipients under this Agreement.

     6.8  ENBC shall be responsible for arranging for the procurement of
ingredients and raw materials used to produce the Products on standard vendor
terms and, at ENBC's option, ENBC may supply any ingredients or raw materials
directly to the Supplier (with ENBC, at its option, owning such ingredients or
raw materials).

     6.9  Products supplied hereunder shall be shipped F.O.B. the Production
Facility, and ownership and risk of loss with respect to the Products supplied
hereunder shall pass to ENBC or the ENBC Subsidiary, ENBC Franchisee or
Authorized Recipient when delivered to a carrier at the F.O.B. point.

     6.10  Payment terms shall be (a) net 15 days, together with interest at a
rate of 12% per annum from the date any amounts are past due or (b) such other
terms as are mutually agreed by the Supplier, on the one hand, and any of the
ENBC Subsidiaries or ENBC Franchisees or Authorized Recipients that purchase
Products from the Supplier, on the other hand. In no event shall ENBC be
construed as a guarantor of payment (or any other obligation) of any ENBC
Franchisee or Authorized Recipient, but ENBC will be responsible for any
obligation of any ENBC Subsidiaries.

Article 7.0  Pricing

     7.1  The Products shall be sold to ENBC, ENBC Subsidiaries, ENBC
Franchisees and Authorized Recipients at the Materials Cost plus the Loss
Factor, plus a toll charge per bagel (the "Toll Charge"). The Toll Charge will
be [   ]* per bagel from the date hereof through June 30, 1998 and [   ]* per
bagel from July 1, 1998 through the balance of the Term hereof. The Toll Charge
shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 7.3, 7.4, 7.5 and 7.7
hereof. The Loss Factor will be equal to [    ]* multiplied by the Materials 
Cost.

     7.2  The Materials Cost shall be determined based upon a Statement of
Materials Cost for each Accounting Period which shall be prepared by the
Supplier in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit A. The Materials Cost
shall be redetermined as of the end of each Accounting Period during the Term as
set forth in Section 7.2 hereof and the prices based upon such redetermination
shall take effect beginning with products shipped on or after the first business
day of the Accounting Period following the redetermination. Each Statement of
Materials Cost shall be delivered to ENBC within ten business days after the end
of the Accounting Period to which it relates and shall include the information
required by Exhibit A. Within 90 days after the end of each calendar year during
the Term, the Supplier shall cause to be delivered the Statement of Materials
Cost for the last Accounting Period in each of the Quarterly Periods during
which this Agreement was in effect during such calendar year, accompanied by a
report of Ernst & Young, or such other independent accountants as the Supplier
may select from time to time to do the regular annual review of its financial
statements and who may be approved by ENBC (such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld), in the form set forth in Exhibit E. The fees and expenses of such
independent accountants shall be borne by the Supplier. The

*Confidential Treatment Requested.

                                       17
<PAGE>
 
Supplier acknowledges that a copy of each Statement of Materials Cost (and each
report of independent accountants thereon) may be provided by ENBC to any ENBC
Franchisee.

     7.3  The Toll Charge shall be adjusted, effective as of the first day of
the third Quarterly Period of each fiscal year during the Term hereof, beginning
in fiscal year 1999.  The amount of the adjustment shall equal the Toll Charge
in effect immediately before such adjustment minus the Fixed Costs, and then
multiplying such result by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index
for the urban area including Indianapolis, Indiana, published by the Department
of Labor for the 12 month period ending on March 31 of the year in which the
Toll Charge adjustment is to take place.  For this purpose, "Fixed Costs" shall
mean the sum of the building rental expense and Equipment Financing Cost for the
12 previous Accounting Periods ending on the last day of the third Accounting
Period of the fiscal year divided by 342,720,000.  In the event the Consumer
Price Index ceases to be published for any reason, the parties shall select
another index designed to approximate as closely as practicable the Consumer
Price Index.

     7.4  In the event that changes in Formulations, Specifications or
Procedures result in additional costs or savings to Harlan or the Supplier that
are not reflected in Materials Cost, the parties shall make appropriate
adjustments in the Toll Charge and/or the Loss Factor to reflect such costs or
savings.  In addition, the parties agree that ENBC shall bear as part of its
research and development, the cost of Product losses and production related
costs that arise from the development of Products or test runs of the Products.
The Supplier shall invoice ENBC for each such cost in a timely manner, and in
any event no later than sixty (60) days from the date on which such cost first
arose.  Costs associated with such research and development shall be reimbursed
within 30 days of invoice.
 
     7.5  In the event that orders are shipped under Section 6.4 for more or
less than the following minimum amounts during the periods provided below, then
the Toll Charge shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 7.5:

     (a)  3,295,385 dozen bagels, during any consecutive twelve-week period
          commencing after the date hereof and ending on December 31, 1997;

     (b)  4,559,450 dozen bagels, during the first Quarterly Period of 1998;

     (c)  6,391,725 dozen bagels during the second Quarterly Period of 1998; or

     (d)  7,140,000 dozen bagels during each subsequent Quarterly Period during
          the remainder of the Term hereof.

In the event orders are shipped under Section 6.4 for fewer than the minimum
amounts stated herein in any applicable Quarterly Period commencing with the
first Quarterly Period of 1998 or twelve week period prior thereto (the
"Shortfall Measuring Period"), then the Toll Charge applicable during the last
two Accounting Periods of the ensuing Quarterly Period and the first Accounting
Period of the Quarterly Period thereafter or such shorter period remaining
during the Term hereof (the "Recovery Period") shall be increased by an amount
sufficient to result in the 

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
recovery over the Recovery Period, in equal amounts during each Accounting
Period in the Recovery Period, and assuming the minimum number of bagels set
forth above are shipped during said Recovery Period, of the difference between
the minimum amounts stated herein and the amounts actually shipped during the
Shortfall Measuring Period multiplied by [   ]* per bagel (such amount being
herein sometimes referred to as the "Shortfall Amount").

In the event orders are shipped under Section 6.4 for greater than the minimum
amounts stated in subsection (d) above in any Quarterly Period during the Term
hereof and commencing on or after July 1, 1998 (the "Excess Measuring Period"),
then the Toll Charge applicable during the last two Accounting Periods of the
ensuing Quarterly Period and the first Accounting Period of the Quarterly Period
thereafter or such shorter period remaining during the Term hereof (the "Excess
Recovery Period") shall be decreased by an amount sufficient to result in the
recovery over the Excess Recovery Period, in equal amounts during each
Accounting Period in the Excess Recovery Period, and assuming the minimum number
of bagels set forth above are shipped during said Excess Recovery Period, of the
difference between the minimum amount stated therein and the amount actually
shipped during the Excess Measuring Period multiplied by [   ]* per bagel (such
amount being herein sometimes referred to as the "Excess Amount").

The parties acknowledge that in recovering the Shortfall Amount and the Excess
Amount, more or less than said amount may be recovered as a result of the actual
shipments of bagels during the Recovery Period. The parties agree to
appropriately adjust the Toll Charge in subsequent Recovery Periods to account
for this event.

In the event the Second Bagel Line is not fully operational by February 1, 1998,
the parties agree to negotiate, in good faith, modifications to subsections (b),
(c) and (d) above.

     7.6 The Supplier shall provide to ENBC and the accountants referred to in
Section 7.2 all information requested by them in order to permit (a) the
preparation of each report referred to in Section 7.2 and the determination of
the Materials Cost therefrom, and (b) each adjustment to the Toll Charge
provided for herein. The Supplier shall also permit ENBC (and its
representatives) and such accountants to have access to its books and records,
and to meet with members of the Supplier's management, at any time upon
reasonable notice during normal business hours. The Supplier shall also permit
accountants selected by ENBC to have access to its books and records, and to
meet with members of the Supplier's management, at any time upon reasonable
notice during normal business hours, provided, however, that (a) the fees and
expenses of such accountants shall be borne by ENBC, and (b) it shall be a
condition to the covenant of the Supplier in this Section 7.6 to give such
accountants access to the Supplier's books and records that such accountants
shall agree in writing to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of Article
12.0 hereof.

     7.7 ENBC may charge the Supplier for various costs incurred by ENBC in
connection with research and development, product development, procurement or
other costs related to the development, production, distribution and sale of the
Products, and such costs shall result in an addition to the purchase price for
the Products over a period comparable to the length of a Recovery Period.

Article 8.0  Acquisition, Installation and Leasing of Second Bagel Line

     8.1  The Supplier and ENBC acknowledge and agree that the Supplier will
arrange for the acquisition and installation of each component piece of
equipment comprising the Second Bagel Line.  The Supplier represents and
warrants that the total cost for the Second Bagel Line will not exceed
$4,950,000 (the "Budgeted Amount"), as set forth on the Second Bagel Line
Equipment Capital Budget.  The parties anticipate that ENBC will purchase
directly most of the Second Bagel Line Equipment upon notice from the Supplier.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties also anticipate that the Supplier
will purchase directly certain components of the Second Bagel Line Equipment and
that ENBC will reimburse the Supplier for its actual cost of any part of the
Second Bagel Line Equipment so purchased by the Supplier.  In the event the
Supplier seeks reimbursement for any such component of the Second Bagel Line
Equipment, the Supplier will deliver to ENBC such receipts, invoices, and other
documentation as ENBC reasonably requests with respect thereto.  ENBC will
reimburse the Supplier for such costs within a reasonable time and in accordance
with the parties' prior practices.  In the event the total cost of the Second
Bagel Line is greater than the Budgeted Amount, the Supplier will be
responsible, and shall reimburse ENBC, if necessary, for any amount in excess of
the Budgeted Amount.  The Supplier further agrees that it will, from time to
time, execute an Assignment and Bill of Sale in the form of Exhibit B hereto
with respect to each component of the Second Bagel Line Equipment purchased by
the Supplier, but not including any component of the Second Bagel Line Equipment
for which ENBC does not reimburse the Supplier as a result of the cost of the
Second Bagel Line Equipment exceeding the Budgeted Amount (such event is
referred to as a "Budget Overrun").  In the event of a Budget Overrun, ENBC
shall, in its sole discretion, determine which components of the Second Bagel
Line Equipment it shall purchase and own and the parties will transfer title to
such components upon notice from ENBC.

     8.2  The Supplier and ENBC agree that they will execute an additional
Schedule to the Equipment Lease on or before February 1, 1998, pursuant to which
the Supplier will lease from ENBC the Second Bagel Line.  The Schedule with
respect to the Second Bagel Line Equipment will provide for a term expiring on
April 16, 2005, and will be on the same economic terms as Schedule No. 1 to the
Equipment Lease.
 
Article 9.0  Product Warranties

     9.1  The Supplier warrants to ENBC and all ENBC Subsidiaries and ENBC
Franchisees that purchase Products from the Supplier that:

          9.1.1  each shipment of Products supplied hereunder shall be 
manufactured in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.5 hereof, shall be
of good and merchantable quality and shall be fit for the purposes for which
they are intended to be used, except to the extent any lack of merchantability

     11.3  The parties agree that each party shall have the exclusive right to
control the defense (and the right to establish the terms of any settlement) of
any claim or action by any third party that could result in such party having an
indemnification obligation under Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 with counsel of
such party's selection, that each party will promptly give the other party
written notice of any claim or action of which it becomes aware that could
result in such

Subsidiary or ENBC Franchisee is obligated to make indemnity payments under any
such agreement resulting from any of the matters described in clauses (a)
through (d), inclusive, of Section 11.1 hereof, the Supplier shall indemnify
ENBC or such ENBC Subsidiary or ENBC Franchisee for, and hold ENBC and such ENBC
Subsidiary or ENBC Franchisee harmless from and against, such payment in

hereof, ENBC shall indemnify the Supplier, and hold the Supplier harmless from
and against, such payment in accordance with Section 11.2 hereof.

     11.5  The Supplier represents and warrants that it carries: (a) policies of

state and federal laws, and (b) policies of comprehensive general liability
insurance covering the Supplier's premises and operations, including premises

and completed operations coverage, full blanket contractual coverage and broad
form property damage coverage, with a combined single limit of $9,000,000 naming
ENBC as an additional insured and containing endorsements (i) providing that the
Supplier's comprehensive general liability coverage (including products
liability) (the "Supplier CGL Coverage") is primary relative to ENBC or any ENBC
Subsidiary or ENBC Franchisee, and that any other insurance maintained by ENBC
or any ENBC Subsidiary or ENBC Franchisee with respect to the risks covered by
the Supplier CGL Coverage is excess and non-contributing, and (ii) waiving any
and all rights of subrogation against ENBC, ENBC Subsidiaries and ENBC
Franchisees with respect to the Supplier CGL Coverage, and (iii) providing for a
continuation of the Supplier CGL Coverage beyond the expiration or termination

are attributable to the manufacture of Products by the Supplier during the Term.
The Supplier also represents and warrants that all premiums which have become
due on such policies have been paid, that such policies are in full force and
effect, and that such policies may not be canceled, changed or allowed to lapse
through non-renewal, failure to pay premiums or otherwise except upon not less
than 60 days' prior written notice to the Supplier and ENBC, except that such
notice period need not exceed 10 days in the case of failure to pay premiums.
The Supplier has previously delivered to ENBC evidence of the foregoing
insurance coverages by providing to ENBC a satisfactory Accord Certificate of
Coverage of ENBC as an additional insured, and will hereafter provide ENBC with
a satisfactory Accord Certificate of Coverage upon the issuance of any renewal
or replacement policies.  The Supplier agrees to maintain such policies in full
force and effect, in the amount set forth above, throughout the term of this
Agreement, and to maintain ENBC as an additional insured under such policies.

Article 12.0  Confidentiality

     12.1  As used in this Agreement, the term "Proprietary Information" shall
mean any knowledge or information, written or oral, which relates in any manner
to the respective businesses of the Supplier and ENBC which is confidential and
proprietary information of the disclosing party, whether or not disclosed prior
to, on or after the date hereof, including, without limitation, the business
concepts, recipes, food preparation methods, equipment, operating techniques,
marketing methods, financial information, demographic and trade area
information, prospective site locations, market penetration techniques, plans,
or schedules, customer profiles, preferences, or statistics, menu breakdowns,
itemized costs, franchisee composition, territories, and development plans,
products, production techniques and all related trade secrets or confidential or
proprietary information treated as such by the disclosing party, whether by
course of conduct, by letter or report, or by the use of any appropriate
proprietary stamp or legend designating such information or item to be
confidential or proprietary.  As used in this Article 12.0, the term "disclosing
party" shall mean the party to this Agreement which discloses or makes available
Proprietary Information to the receiving party, and the term "receiving party"
shall mean the party to this Agreement to whom Proprietary Information is
disclosed or made available by the disclosing party.

     12.2  Without limiting the generality of Section 12.1 hereof, the parties
acknowledge and agree that the Formulations, Specifications and Procedures are
the Proprietary Information of ENBC and will be treated as Proprietary
Information that does not become stale with the passage of time for purposes of
the last sentence of Section 12.3 hereof.

     12.3  The receiving party shall hold all Proprietary Information in strict
confidence, shall use such Proprietary Information only for the benefit of the
disclosing party and shall disclose such Proprietary Information only to the
receiving party's employees and agents who have a need to know such Proprietary
Information in order to assist the receiving party in performing its obligations
under this Agreement provided such employees and agents each have individually
entered into a confidentiality agreement in form satisfactory to the disclosing
party or are otherwise obligated by a written agreement with the receiving party
to maintain the confidence of the Proprietary Information, which agreement the
parties hereby agree may be directly enforced by the disclosing party.  The
receiving party shall not disclose Proprietary Information to any other person
or entity.  The obligations hereunder to maintain the confidentiality of
Proprietary Information shall continue: (a) for five years from the date of
disclosure of the Proprietary Information, in the case of Proprietary
Information that by its nature becomes stale with the passage of time (e.g.,
financial information, development plans) and (b) indefinitely, in the case of
the Proprietary Information that by its nature does not become stale with the
passage of time (e.g. trade secrets, production techniques, recipes).

     12.4  The obligations of the parties specified in Section 12.3 shall not
apply to any Proprietary Information which (a) is disclosed in a printed
publication available to the public prior to the date of this Agreement, or
becomes known to the public through no act of the receiving party or its
employees, agents or other person or entity which has received such Proprietary
Information from or through the receiving party, provided, however, that a

                                       24
<PAGE>
 
combination of ingredients or processes that has not been disclosed to, or
become known by, the public shall remain subject to Section 12.3 notwithstanding
the fact that the identity of such ingredients or processes may be known, (b) is
approved for release by written authorization of an officer of the disclosing
party, (c) can be established by the receiving party by documentary evidence to
have been in the legitimate and lawful possession of the receiving party at the
time revealed by the disclosing party to the receiving party, (d) is lawfully
received by the receiving party without restriction from a third party
subsequent to this Agreement, which third party did not obtain the Proprietary
Information through improper means or disclose the Proprietary Information
without authorization, or (e) is required to be disclosed by law or regulation
or by proper order of a court of applicable jurisdiction after adequate notice
to the disclosing party, sufficient to permit the disclosing party to seek a
protective order therefor, the imposition of which protective order the
receiving party agrees to approve and support. In addition, after consultation
with the disclosing party, the receiving party may disclose only that
Proprietary Information that the receiving party believes in good faith it is
required to disclose (x) in connection with any filing that is made or
disclosure document that is prepared for the purpose of complying with federal
or state securities or franchise laws, rules or regulations or (y) to comply
with the rules of any stock exchange or quotation system or any other regulatory
requirements; provided, however, that in any event trade secrets, production
techniques, recipes and similar Proprietary Information of a disclosing party
will not be disclosed by the receiving party without the written consent of the
disclosing party.

     12.5  The receiving party (and each employee, agent, or other person or
entity which has received such Proprietary Information from or through the
receiving party) shall, upon the request of the disclosing party, return all
documents and other tangible manifestations of Proprietary Information received
from the disclosing party, including all copies and reproductions thereof.  The
receiving party will thereafter certify in writing to the disclosing party that
all Proprietary Information has either been returned to the disclosing party or
destroyed.

     This Amended and Restated Equipment Schedule is executed pursuant to, and
incorporates by reference the terms and conditions of, and capitalized terms not
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in, the Lease Agreement
identified above ("Agreement;" said Agreement and this Schedule being
collectively referred to as "Lease"). This Amended and Restated Equipment
Schedule, incorporating by reference the Agreement, constitutes a separate
instrument of lease. This Amended and Restated Equipment Schedule is designated
as a Series A Schedule. This Amended and Restated Equipment Schedule amends,
restates, replaces, and substitutes in full the obligations under that certain
Equipment Schedule previously entered into by Lessor and Lessee and dated as of
the 27th day of August, 1996.

A.   Equipment.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Lessor agrees to Lease to Lessee the
Equipment listed on Annex A attached hereto and made a part hereof.

B.   Financial Terms.
 
  (1) Capitalized Lessor's Cost as of July 11, 1997: $8,007,681.
  (2) Term: Effective as of July 14, 1997 through April 16, 2005.
  (3) Lease Commencement Date: July 14, 1997
  (4) Equipment Location: 7597 E. U.S. Highway 36, Avon, Indiana
  (5) Lessee Federal Tax ID No.: Applied for.
  (6) Suppliers: Various.
  (7) Last Delivery Date: N/A
  (8) Stipulated Loss Values: See Annex B.
 
     The parties agree to adjust Capitalized Lessor's Cost and the principal
amortization and stipulated loss value schedules attached hereto to reflect
adjustments in the final purchase price of the Equipment.
<PAGE>
 
C.   Term and Rent.
 

     Commencing on October 3, 1997 and on the last Business Day of each fiscal
quarter of Lessor thereafter through the first fiscal quarter of 2005 (each, a
"Rent Payment Date"), Lessee shall pay as rent quarterly installments of
principal and interest, in arrears, each installment in the principal amount
specified on the attached Amortization Schedule together with interest on the
Unamortized Principal Balance as of the immediately preceding Rent Payment Date
(after application of the Rent paid on such date) at the Interest Rate for the
Interest Period following such immediately preceding Rent Payment Date, except
that interest payable on the first Rent Payment date shall be determined based
on Capitalized Lessor's Cost. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360
day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Said Rent consists of principal
and interest components, such principal components being as provided in the
Amortization Schedule attached hereto.

     As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

     "Interest Period" shall mean the period beginning on the Lease Commencement
Date and ending on the next Rent Payment Date, and each subsequent quarterly
period.

     "Interest Rate" shall mean that percentage per annum calculated as the sum
of (a) the LIBOR Rate redetermined quarterly, plus (b) four hundred twenty five
(425) basis points (or five hundred ninety five (595) basis points during the
continuance of any Material Indebtedness Default).

     "LIBOR Rate" shall mean, with respect to any Interest Period occurring
during the term of the Lease, an interest rate per annum equal at all times
during such Interest Period to the quotient of (1) the rate per annum as
determined by Lessor at which deposits of U.S. Dollars in immediately available
and freely transferable funds are offered at 11:00 a.m. (London, England time)
two (2) Business Days before the commencement of such Interest Period to major
banks in the London interbank market for a period of three (3) months and in an
amount equal or comparable to the Unamortized Principal Balance, divided by (2)
a number equal to 1.00 minus the aggregate (without duplication) of the rates
(expressed as a decimal fraction) of the LIBOR Reserve Requirements current on
the date three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of the Interest Period.

     "LIBOR Reserve Requirements" shall mean the daily average for the
applicable Interest Period of the maximum rate applicable to Lessor at which
reserves (including, without limitation, any supplemental, marginal and
emergency reserves) are imposed during such Interest Period by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) on "Eurocurrency
liabilities", as defined in such Board's Regulation D (or in respect of any
other category of liabilities that include deposits by reference to which the
interest rates on Eurodollar loans is determined or any category of extensions
of credit or other assets that include loans by non-United States offices of any
lender to United States residents), having a term equal to such Interest Period,
subject to any amendments of such reserve requirement by such Board or its
successor, taking into account any transitional adjustments thereto.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
     If at any time Lessor determines that either adequate and reasonable means
do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, or Lessor reasonably determines
that, as a result of changes to applicable law after the date of execution of
the Agreement, or the adoption or making after such date of any interpretations,
directives or regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court,
governmental authority or reserve bank charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, it shall be or become unlawful or impossible to make,
maintain, or fund the transaction hereunder at the LIBOR Rate, then Lessor
promptly shall give notice to Lessee of such determination, and Lessor and
Lessee shall negotiate in good faith a mutually acceptable alternative method of
calculating the Interest Rate and shall execute and deliver such documents as
reasonably may be required to incorporate such alternative method of calculating
the Interest Rate in this Schedule, within thirty (30) days after the date of
Lessor's notice to Lessee.

     (3) If any Rent Payment Date is not a Business Day, the Rent otherwise due
on such date shall be payable on the immediately preceding Business Day. As used
herein, "Business Day" shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday, and any
day on which banking institutions located in the State of Colorado are
authorized by law or other governmental action to close.

D.   Insurance.

     (1)  Public Liability: Combined single limit of $9,000,000.
     (2)  Casualty and Property Damage: An amount equal to the higher of the
          Stipulated Loss Value or the full replacement cost of the Equipment.
 
     This Amended and Restated Equipment Schedule is not binding or effective
with respect to the Agreement or Equipment until executed on behalf of Lessor
and Lessee by authorized representatives of Lessor and Lessee, respectively.

RETURN PROVISIONS: In addition to the provisions provided for in Section X of
this Lease, and provided that Lessee has elected not to exercise its purchase
option pursuant to Section XVIII(a) of the Lease, Lessee shall, at its expense:

     (A) At least one hundred twenty (120) days and not more than two hundred
forty (240) days prior to expiration or earlier termination of the Lease,
provide to Lessor a detailed inventory of all components of the Equipment. The
inventory should include, but not be limited to, a listing of model, serial
numbers and size description (length, width, height, diameter) for all
components comprising the Equipment.

     (B) At least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease, upon receiving reasonable notice from Lessor, provide
or cause the vendor(s) or manufacturer(s) to provide to Lessor the following
documents: (1) one set of service manuals, blue prints, process flow diagrams
and operating manuals including replacements and/or additions thereto, such that
all documentation is completely up-to-date; and (2) one set of documents,
detailing equipment configuration, operating requirements, maintenance records,
and other technical data concerning the set-up and operation of the Equipment,
including replacements and/or additions thereto, such that all documentation is
completely up-to-date.

     (C) At least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease, upon receiving reasonable notice from Lessor, make the
Equipment available for on-site operational inspections by potential purchasers,
under power, and provide personnel, power and other requirements necessary to
demonstrate electrical, mechanical and functionality of each item of the
Equipment,

     (D) At least forty-five (45) days prior to expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease, cause the manufacturer's representative(s) or
qualified equipment maintenance provider(s), acceptable to Lessor, to perform a
comprehensive physical inspection, including testing all material and
workmanship of the Equipment. The authorized inspector should ensure the
Equipment is clean and cosmetically acceptable, and in such condition so that it
may be immediately installed and placed into use in a similar environment. There
shall be no missing screws, bolts, fasteners, etc. There shall be no evidence of
extreme use or overloading. If during such inspection, examination and test, the
authorized inspector finds any of the material or workmanship to be defective or
the Equipment not operating within manufacturer's specifications, then Lessee
shall repair or replace such defective material and, after corrective
<PAGE>
 
measures are completed, Lessee will provide for a follow-up inspection of the
Equipment by the authorized inspector as outlined in the preceding clause.

     (E) Have each item of Equipment returned with an in-depth field service
report detailing said inspection as outlined in Section D of this Annex D. The
report shall certify that the Equipment has been properly inspected, examined
and tested and is operating within the manufacturer's specifications.

     (F) Properly remove all Lessee installed markings which are not necessary
for the operation, maintenance or repair of the Equipment.

                                   Recitals
                                   --------

     ENBC, the Supplier, and Harlan Bakeries, Inc. and the Members previously
entered into a project and approved supplier agreement dated as of May 24, 1996
(the "Prior Approved Supplier Agreement").  As contemplated by the Prior
Approved Supplier Agreement, ENBC obtained an option to acquire all of the
assets of Supplier, pursuant to that certain Option Agreement among ENBC,
Supplier, and the Members dated August 27, 1996, (the "Prior Option Agreement").
The Supplier and ENBC have entered into an Amended and Restated Projected

restate certain of the terms and conditions of the Prior Approved Supplier
Agreement and desire to amend and restate certain of the terms and conditions of
the Prior Option Agreement.  In order to reflect the parties' understanding with

                                   ---------

     In consideration of the mutual representations, warranties and covenants
and subject to the conditions herein contained herein and in the Approved
Supplier Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Article 1.0  The Option

     1.1  The Option.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof,
Supplier hereby grants to ENBC an irrevocable option (the "Option") to purchase,
at the purchase price provided for in Section 1.4 hereof, all of the assets of
Supplier (the assets subject to the option being herein sometimes referred to as
the "Option Assets").  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Option Assets shall include:

     leasehold improvements, construction in progress, furniture and fixtures,
     and other fixed assets ("Fixed Assets");

          1.1.2  all inventories and raw materials of Supplier;

          1.1.3  all receivables of Supplier including without limitation any
     receivables under Sections 7.5 and 7.7 of the Approved Supplier Agreement;

<PAGE>
 
          1.1.4  all real estate owned by Supplier, if any, and all of the
     interest of, and the rights and benefits accruing to, Supplier as lessee
     under all leases of real property and all improvements thereto and
     buildings thereon, and all leases or rental agreements covering machinery,
     equipment, tools, supplies, vehicles, furniture and fixtures and other
     fixed assets or personal property;

          1.1.5  all of the rights and benefits accruing to Supplier under the
     Approved Supplier Agreement and under all sales orders, sales contracts,
     supply contracts, purchase orders and purchase commitments made by Supplier
     in the ordinary course of business, all other agreements to which Supplier
     is a party or by which it is bound and all other choices in action, causes
     of action and other rights of every kind, but excluding contracts relating
     solely to the production or the sale of products other than the Products
     (as defined in the Approved Supplier Agreement) ("Excluded Contracts");

          1.1.6  all operating data and records of Supplier, including, without
     limitation, customer lists, financial, accounting and credit records,
     correspondence, budgets and other similar documents and records (although
     Supplier may retain copies thereof at its own expense for its tax or other
     legitimate business purposes);

          1.1.7  all of the proprietary rights of Supplier, including, without
     limitation, all trademarks, trade names (but expressly excluding the name
     "Harlan" or any name including the name "Harlan"), patents, patent
     applications, licenses, trade secrets, technology, know-how, formula,
     designs and drawings, computer software, slogans, copyrights, processes,
     operating rights, other licenses and permits, and other similar intangible
     property and rights, if any; and

          1.1.8  all cash and investments, and all prepaid and deferred items of
     the Supplier, including, without limitation, prepaid rentals, insurance,
     taxes and unbilled charges and deposits.

The Option shall be exercisable at any time from and after the date hereof and
on or before the later of (a)  the expiration or termination date of that
certain Lease Agreement dated August 27, 1996 between ENBC and Supplier
("Equipment Lease"), or (b) the expiration or termination date of the Approved
Supplier Agreement ("Termination Date"), but only in the event Supplier:  (x)
fails to make any payment required to be made to ENBC under the Equipment Lease
and does not correct such failure within thirty (30) days of the payment due
date; or (y) is in default under any of the Working Capital Financing Documents
(as defined in the Approved Supplier Agreement) or any other third party
indebtedness and such default is not cured within (i) thirty (30) days after
notice of default or (ii) the applicable grace period specified in a notice of
default.  The Option will be exercisable for ninety (90) days from the date on
which it first arises.  The Option will be exercisable with respect to any and
every default meeting the requirements of this paragraph.  For purposes hereof,
the term "other third party indebtedness" shall not include indebtedness owed to
Hal P. Harlan or trade payables of the Supplier incurred in the ordinary course
of business.
                  
                                       2

     1.2  Exercise of the Option.  In the event that ENBC elects to exercise
the Option it shall give written notice of such exercise to Supplier in the
manner provided herein for the giving of notice, which notice shall specify the
consideration which ENBC elects to deliver upon the Closing (as hereinafter
defined), which may consist of the Promissory Note (hereinafter defined), shares
of common stock of ENBC ("ENBC Stock"), shares of common stock ("BCI Stock") of
Boston Chicken, Inc. ("BCI"), cash, or any combination of the foregoing, having
an aggregate value equal to the Supplier Value (as defined in Section 1.4),
provided, however, that such consideration may consist of ENBC Stock or BCI
Stock (the issuer of such stock being referred to herein as the "Issuer") only
if (a) the average closing sales price per share of such stock of the Issuer as
quoted on the NASDAQ National Market, as quoted on such other market or exchange
on which such shares are traded, for the ten consecutive trading days ending on
the second business day prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) (the
"Share Price") is at least $10, and (b) the value of the Issuer (defined as the
product of the Share Price and the total number of outstanding shares of such
stock of the Issuer) is at least $300 million. In the event ENBC elects to
deliver upon the Closing shares of ENBC Stock or shares of BCI Stock, such
shares shall be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
shall be accompanied by a written undertaking of ENBC to pay to the Supplier in
cash the excess, if any, of the value of the shares so delivered , determined in
the manner provided in Section 1.6 hereof, over the proceeds (net of
commissions) from the sale of the shares, assuming all shares are sold in
accordance with such reasonable conditions on the timing, daily volume and
manner of sale as may be set forth in such undertaking. Such undertaking shall
be assignable by the Supplier to its members to the extent any such shares are
assigned to such members.
 
     1.3  Regulatory Compliance.  Upon the exercise of the Option each of the
parties shall promptly prepare and file with the Federal Trade Commission
("FTC") and the United States Department of Justice ("Justice Department") any
notification required to be filed with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 as
amended, or any rules or regulations thereunder (the "HSR Act").  Each party
represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that any such filing made by
it shall be true and accurate in all material respects and shall conform to the
requirements of the HSR Act.  Each party shall promptly complete and file any
required responses to requests by the FTC or the Justice Department for
additional data and information.  Each party shall also make available to the
other parties hereto such information relative to its business, assets and
property as may be required for the preparation of such notifications and
reports.
   
     1.4  Purchase Price upon Exercise of the Option.  The purchase price
payable by ENBC upon the exercise of the Option shall consist of:  (i) (a) ENBC
Stock, BCI Stock, cash or any combination of the foregoing (determined in
accordance with Section 1.2) having an aggregate value equal to the Supplier
Value as of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) or (b) the Promissory Note
and (ii) the assumption by ENBC of Supplier's accounts payable, accrued
expenses, outstanding indebtedness for money borrowed and contractual
obligations, except that ENBC shall not be obligated to assume any liability or
obligation under the Excluded Contracts or any liability or obligation the
existence of which constitutes a breach of any representation and warranty made
by Supplier or the Members in this Agreement or incurred in violation of any
covenants or agreements of Supplier made in this Agreement (such liabilities to
be assumed by ENBC being herein referred 

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
to as the "Assumed Liabilities"). For this purpose, the "Supplier Value" as of
the Closing Date shall be determined in the manner set forth in Exhibit A.
   
     1.5  Allocation of Purchase Price Among Option Assets.  The purchase price
for the Option Assets shall be allocated among each item or class of the Option
Assets as determined by the parties.  Supplier and ENBC agree that they will
prepare and file their federal and any state or local income tax returns based
on such allocation of the purchase price.  Supplier and ENBC agree that they
will prepare and file any notices or other filings required pursuant to Section
1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that any such notices
of filings will be prepared based on such agreed allocation of the purchase
price.

     1.6  Valuation of ENBC Stock or BCI Stock.  ENBC Stock or BCI Stock
delivered upon the Closing (as hereinafter defined) shall be deemed to have a
value equal to the average closing sales price per share of such stock as quoted
on the NASDAQ National Market, as reported in the Wall Street Journal (Western
Edition), or as quoted on such other market or exchange on which such shares are
traded, for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the second business day
prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined).

     1.7  Closing of Option Exercise.  The closing of the exercise of the
Option shall take place at the offices of ENBC at 9:00 A.M., local time, on the
fifth business day after the date of the notice of such exercise referred to in
Section 1.2, or, if later, the second business day after the satisfaction or
waiver of all other conditions to the exercise of the Option provided for in
Articles 5.0 and 6.0 hereof.  Throughout this Agreement, such event is referred
to as "Closing" and such date and time are referred to as "Closing Date".

     1.8  Procedure at the Closing.  At the Closing:  (i) Supplier shall
execute and deliver to ENBC instruments of assignment in form and substance
satisfactory to ENBC sufficient to convey to ENBC all right, title and interest
of Supplier in and to the Option Assets, all necessary consents or approvals of
third parties (including any governmental entities) to the transactions
contemplated hereby, subscription agreements of Supplier and the Members
satisfactory in form and substance to ENBC, in the event ENBC has elected to
deliver ENBC Stock or BCI Stock at the Closing, and an opinion of Henderson,
Daily, Withrow & DeVoe,  or other counsel reasonably acceptable to ENBC, dated
as of the Closing Date and in a form reasonably acceptable to ENBC, to the
effect that:  (A) Supplier is a limited liability company duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of the State of Indiana with full power and
authority to own or lease its properties, to carry on its business as it is
being conducted and to convey the Option Assets to ENBC pursuant to this
Agreement, (B) the sale of the Option Assets has been duly authorized by all
necessary action of Supplier under Indiana law, its articles of incorporation
and bylaws, (C) the sale of the Option Assets will not conflict with or violate
any provision of the articles of organization or operating agreement of
Supplier, conflict with or violate any order, judgment or decree known to such
counsel applicable to Supplier or the Members or by which any of Supplier's
properties are affected, or result in a breach of, or constitute a default (or
any event which with notice or lapse of time would become a default) under, or
give to others any rights of first refusal, termination, amendment, acceleration
or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance on any
of the Option Assets pursuant to, any notice, bond, mortgage, indenture
contract, agreement, lease or other instrument or 
    
                                       4
<PAGE>
    
obligation known to such counsel by which Supplier or any of the Members is
bound or by which any of the Supplier's properties are affected, (D) the sale of
the Option Assets will not, require any consent, approval, exemption,
authorization or permit of, filing with or notification, or other action by, any
court, administrative agency or governmental or regulatory authority, under any
provision of Indiana or Federal law, except for such consents and approvals as
shall have been obtained and filings which shall have been made, and (E) to such
counsel's knowledge, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or governmental
inquiries pending or threatened against Supplier or any of the Members seeking
to prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Option Assets or the ability of Supplier and the Members to perform their
obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) in the event ENBC has not elected to
pay the purchase price by delivering cash, ENBC Stock or BCI Stock, ENBC shall
deliver to Supplier a promissory note, in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto,
in the principal amount of the purchase price (the "Promissory Note"), and (iii)
ENBC shall deliver to Supplier an instrument of assumption in form and substance
satisfactory to Supplier, assuming the Assumed Liabilities, and releases of any
guarantees made by the Members in connection with the Assumed Liabilities, to
the extent such releases may be obtained through ENBC's reasonable efforts
(which the parties agree shall not require ENBC to expend money or provide
security to the holder of any of the Assumed Liabilities). ENBC acknowledges
that the legal opinion referred to above will be subject to review by Henderson,
Daily's opinion committee prior to the time of issuance of such opinion so that
such opinion is consistent with prevailing opinion letter practice at such time.
The Promissory Note shall provide that the purchase price shall be payable to
the Supplier on the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date unless the
purchase price exceeds $1,000,000, in which event $1,000,000 will be payable to
the Supplier on the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date with the
balance of the purchase price payable in equal installments of principal, with
interest, on each of the twelve (12), eighteen (18), and twenty-four (24) month
anniversaries of the Closing Date. Interest shall be payable on the purchase
price from and after the Closing Date.


Article 2.0  Representations and Warranties of Supplier and the Members

     In order to induce ENBC to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereunder, Supplier and the Members jointly and
severally make the following representations and warranties:

     2.1  Organization, Power and Authority of Supplier.  Supplier is a
limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of
Indiana, and has full corporate power and authority to own or lease its
properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to
enter into this Agreement and to carry out the transactions and agreements
contemplated hereby.  Supplier is legally qualified to transact business, and is
in good standing, in any jurisdictions in which its business or property is such
as to require that it be thus qualified, except where the failure to be so
qualified would not have a material adverse effect on its business, properties
or financial condition.

     2.2  Due Authorization; Binding Agreement of Supplier and Members.  The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of
the transactions 
  
                                       5
<PAGE>
    
contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action of
Supplier, including the approval of the Members of Supplier. This Agreement has
been duly executed and delivered by Supplier and the Members and is a valid and
binding obligation of Supplier and the Members, enforceable in accordance with
its terms. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Supplier or
the Members nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will:
(i) conflict with or violate any provision of the articles of organization or
operating agreement of Supplier or of any decree or order of any court or
administrative or other governmental body which is either applicable to, binding
upon or enforceable against Supplier or the Members or the assets and properties
of Supplier or the Members; or (ii) result in a breach of, constitute a default
under, result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to
accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel, or require any notice under, any
mortgage, contract, agreement, indenture or other instrument which is either
binding upon or enforceable against Supplier or the Members or the assets and
properties of Supplier or the Members. No permit, consent, approval or
authorization of, or declaration to or filing with, any regulatory or other
government authority is required in connection with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement by Supplier or the Members and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby, except pursuant to the HSR Act.

     2.3  Ownership Interests in Supplier. All voting rights in Supplier are
vested exclusively in its membership interests (the "Interests"), and there are
no voting trusts, proxies or other agreements or understandings with respect to
the voting of the Interests of Supplier, except for the operating agreement
among the Supplier and the Members (the "Operating Agreement").  Supplier has
previously furnished to ENBC copies of Supplier's articles of organization and
the Operating Agreement, and such copies are correct and complete in all
respects.  There are no outstanding warrants, options or rights of any kind to
acquire from Supplier any interests or securities of any kind, and there are no
pre-emptive rights with respect to the issuance or sale of interests of
Supplier.  Supplier has no obligation to acquire any of its issued and
outstanding interests or any other security issued by it from any holder
thereof, except pursuant to the Operating Agreement.
   
     2.4  Ownership of Interests by the Members.  The Members are the lawful
owners of all of the outstanding Interests of Supplier and have valid marketable
title thereto, free and clear of all liens, pledges, encumbrances, security
interests, restrictions on transfer, claims and equities of every kind, other
than restrictions under federal and state securities laws.  There are no
outstanding warrants, options or rights of any kind to acquire from the Members
any of the Interests.
    
     2.5  Title to Supplier's Assets.  Supplier has good and marketable title
to all of its assets and properties, free and clear of all liens, mortgages,
pledges, encumbrances or charges of every kind, nature, and description
whatsoever, and upon the Closing ENBC will acquire good and marketable title to
the Option Assets, free and clear of all liens, mortgages, pledges, encumbrances

     7.2  Cooperation of Supplier and the Members.  Each of the Members
acknowledges and agrees that ENBC may have need of information concerning
Supplier and the Members in order to comply with applicable securities laws and
regulations in connection with future public and private debt and equity

they will cooperate with ENBC in connection with any Offerings and that they
will, at ENBC's expense: (i) furnish ENBC with such information concerning
Supplier and the Members as ENBC may reasonably require to comply with
applicable securities laws and regulations (the "Company Information"); (ii) use
diligent efforts to review, comment on, and otherwise assist ENBC as reasonably

<PAGE>
 
and each shall make such reasonable representations and warranties to the
applicable certified public accountants as are customary in connection with the
preparation of audited financial statements.
 
     7.4  Confidential Information.

          7.4.1  The Members may possess certain confidential and proprietary
     information and trade secrets including, but not limited to, information,
     methods, techniques, procedures and knowledge developed by or for Supplier
     respecting the business of Supplier (the "Confidential Information").  Each
     of the Members acknowledges and agrees that neither such Shareholder nor
     any other person or entity has acquired by or through such Members any
     interest in or right to use the Confidential Information other than the
     right to utilize it in the operation of the businesses of Supplier and
     ENBC, and that the use or duplication of the Confidential Information in
     any other business would constitute an unfair method of competition with
     Supplier and ENBC.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, ENBC
     acknowledges that the Members are actively involved as Members, officers
     and directors of Harlan Bakeries, Inc. and that certain Confidential
     Information may be shared with Harlan Bakeries, Inc.  The foregoing is not
     intended to prevent Harlan Bakeries from using such Confidential
     Information in its business generally, but Confidential Information
     relating specifically to ENBC or its Formulations, Specifications and
     Procedures (as defined in the Approved Supplier Agreement) may not be used
     by Harlan Bakeries except to the extent such use is solely for the benefit
     of ENBC.

          7.4.2  Subject to Section 7.4.1 hereof, each of the Members
     acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information is confidential
     to and a valuable asset of Supplier, is proprietary, and includes trade
     secrets of Supplier and that such Member:  (i) will not use the
     Confidential Information in any other business or capacity; (ii) will
     maintain the absolute secrecy and confidentiality of the Confidential
     Information; and (iii) will not make unauthorized copies of any portion of
     the Confidential Information disclosed in written or other tangible form.

          7.4.3  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Members
     specified above shall not apply to any Confidential Information which (i)
     is disclosed in a printed publication available to the public, or is
     otherwise in the public domain through no act of any of the Members, their
     agents or any person or entity which has received such Confidential
     Information from or through any of the Members, (ii) is approved for
     release by written authorization of an officer of ENBC, (iii) is required
     to be disclosed by proper order of a court of applicable jurisdiction after
     adequate notice to ENBC to seek a protective order therefor, the imposition
     of which protective order the Members agree to approve and support, or (iv)
     in the written opinion of the disclosing Member's counsel, is necessary to
     be made by such Member in order that the Member not violate any law, rule
     or regulation applicable to him.

     7.5  Remedies; Waiver.

          7.5.1  Each of the Members agrees that the provisions and restrictions
     set forth above in Section 7.4 are necessary to protect ENBC and its
     successors and assigns in the protection of the Option Assets ENBC is
     entitled to acquire pursuant to this Agreement.  Each of the Members agrees
     that damages cannot compensate ENBC in the event of a violation of the
     covenants contained in Section 7.4 hereof, and that injunctive relief
     shall be essential for the protection of ENBC and its successors and
     assigns.  Accordingly, each of the Members agrees and consents that, in the
     event he shall violate or breach any of said covenants ENBC shall be
     entitled to obtain (and he hereby consents to) such injunctive relief
     against such Shareholder, without bond, in addition to such further or
     other relief as may appertain at equity or law.  The exercise or
     enforcement by ENBC of any right or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the
     exercise or enforcement by ENBC of any other right or remedy hereunder or
     which ENBC has the right to enforce under applicable law.
  
          7.5.2  Failure by any party to insist upon strict compliance with any
     of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a waiver
     of such term, covenant or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment
     of any right or remedy hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a
     waiver or relinquishment of such right or remedy at any other time or
     times.

     7.6  Employment by ENBC of Supplier's Employees.  Supplier shall use its
reasonable best efforts to aid ENBC in engaging such of its employees as are
employed on the Closing Date, if any, whom ENBC desires to engage after the
Closing Date, and except with the written consent of ENBC, neither Supplier nor
any Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) of Supplier shall employ, for a period of
one year after the Closing Date, any person employed by Supplier at or at any
time within six months prior to the Closing Date unless such person was either
not offered employment by ENBC or was terminated by ENBC.  As used in this
Agreement, the term "Affiliate" means, with respect to a specified person, any
other person which directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries,
controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the person
specified, and the term "control" (including the terms "controlling,"
"controlled by" and "under common control with") shall mean the possession,
direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the
management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting
shares, by contract, or otherwise.

     7.7  No Obligation of ENBC to Employ.  ENBC shall have no obligation to
employ any of the persons employed by Supplier at the time of the Closing, if
any, or to continue, or institute any replacement or substitution for, any
vacation, severance, incentive, bonus, profit sharing, pension or other employee
benefit plan or program of Supplier.

Article 8.0  Indemnification
   
     8.1  Agreement by Supplier and the Members to Indemnify.  Subject to the
qualifications and limitations set forth in this Section 8.1, Supplier and the
Members jointly and severally agree that from and after the Closing, if any,
they will indemnify and hold ENBC harmless in respect of the

                                       13
<PAGE>
     
aggregate of all ENBC Indemnifiable Damages (as hereinafter defined).  For this
purpose, ENBC Indemnifiable Damages shall mean the aggregate of all expenses,
losses, costs, deficiencies, liabilities and damages (including related counsel
fees and expenses) incurred or suffered by ENBC (or any successor to all or any
part of the assets or business of Supplier) (i) resulting from any inaccurate
representation or warranty made by Supplier and the Members in or pursuant to
this Agreement, (ii) resulting from any default in the performance of any of the
covenants or agreements made by Supplier or the Members in this Agreement, or
(iii) resulting from the failure of Supplier to pay, discharge or perform any
liability or obligation that is not required to be assumed by ENBC hereunder
("Excluded Liabilities").  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
with respect to the measurement of ENBC Indemnifiable Damages, ENBC shall have
the right to be put in the same financial position as it would have been in had
each of the representations and warranties of Supplier and the Members been true
and correct, had each of the covenants and agreements of Supplier and the
Members been performed in full and had each of the Excluded Liabilities been
paid or performed in full. The foregoing obligation to indemnify ENBC shall be
subject to each of the following principles or qualifications:

          8.1.1  Each of the representations and warranties made by the Supplier
     and the Members in this Agreement or pursuant hereto, shall survive for a
     period of eighteen (18) months after the exercise of the Option and
     thereafter all such representations and warranties shall be extinguished,
     provided, however, that the representations and warranties made in Sections
     2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.7 hereof shall in each case survive forever.  No
     claim for the recovery of ENBC Indemnifiable Damages based upon the
     inaccuracy of such representations and warranties may be asserted by ENBC
     after such representations and warranties shall be thus extinguished;
     provided, however, that claims first asserted in writing within the
     applicable period (whether or not the amount of any such claim has become
     ascertainable within such period) shall not thereafter be barred.

          8.1.2  The Supplier and the Members shall be liable for any claim for
     ENBC Indemnifiable Damages arising out of any inaccuracy of any
     representation or warranty only to the extent the aggregate amount of all
     such ENBC Indemnifiable Damages do exceed $25,000.

          8.1.3  The liability of the Supplier and the Members for claims for
     all ENBC Indemnifiable Damages arising out of inaccuracies of
     representations and warranties of the Supplier and the Members shall in no
     event exceed the amount of the purchase price payable under Section 1.4.

     8.2  Agreement by ENBC to Indemnify.  ENBC agrees that from and after the
Closing, if any, it will indemnify and hold Supplier and the Members harmless in
respect of the aggregate of all Supplier Indemnifiable Damages (as hereinafter
defined).  For this purpose, Supplier Indemnifiable Damages shall mean the
aggregate of all expenses, losses, costs, deficiencies, liabilities and damages
(including related counsel fees and expenses) incurred or suffered by Supplier
or the Members (i) resulting from any inaccurate representation or warranty made
by ENBC in or pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) resulting from any default in the
performance of any of the covenants or agreements made by ENBC in this
Agreement, (iii) resulting from the failure of 
            
                                      14
<PAGE>
  
ENBC to discharge any Assumed Liabilities (including any Assumed Liabilities
that may have been guaranteed by one or more of the Members) after Closing or
(iv) resulting from the operation of the business utilizing the Option Assets by
ENBC after Closing (except to the extent arising from any inaccurate
representation or warranty made by the Supplier and the Members herein). Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to the measurement of
Supplier Indemnifiable Damages, Supplier and the Members shall each have the
right to be put in the same financial position as they would have been in had
each of the representations and warranties of ENBC been true and correct, had
each of the covenants and agreements of ENBC been performed in full and had each
of the Assumed Liabilities been paid or performed in full.

     8.3  Tax Effect of Damages and Indemnity Payments.  In determining the
amount of ENBC Indemnifiable Damages payable under Section 8.1 and Supplier
Indemnifiable Damages payable under Section 8.2, there shall be taken into
account both tax benefits, if any, arising from the incurrence of damages and
tax detriments, if any, arising from the receipt of payments hereunder.

     8.4  Legal Proceedings.  In the event Supplier, the Members or ENBC become
involved in any legal, governmental or administrative proceeding which may
result in indemnification claims hereunder, such party shall promptly notify the
other parties in writing of such proceeding.  The other parties may, at their
option and expense, defend any such proceeding if the proceeding could give rise
to an indemnification obligation hereunder.  If any party elects to defend any
proceeding, such party shall have full control over the conduct of such
proceeding, although the party being indemnified shall have the right to retain
legal counsel at its own expense and shall have the right to approve any
settlement of any dispute giving rise to such proceeding, such approval not to
be withheld unreasonably by the party being indemnified; provided, that, in the
event the indemnifying party shall fail to initiate a defense of a claim within
twenty days of the notice to the indemnified party of a claim, the indemnified
party shall have the option to conduct the defense of such claim as it may in
its discretion deem proper.  The party being indemnified shall reasonably
cooperate with the indemnifying party in such proceeding.

                             AND NON-TRANSFERABLE



                                PROMISSORY NOTE


$______________                                              __________, _______


     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Einstein/Noah Bagel Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay to Harlan Bagel Supply Company, LLC ("HBSC"), at
such place as HBSC may from time to time designate in writing,
________________________________ DOLLARS ($______________); and to pay interest
on the unpaid principal balance hereof from time to time outstanding, at the per
annum rate equal to the Interest Rate until the indebtedness evidenced hereby is
paid in full, and at the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) in respect of any
principal amount not paid when due, for the period from the date such principal
is due until such unpaid amount has been paid in full (whether before or after
judgment). The term "Interest Rate" shall mean the rate designated and announced
by Bank of America Illinois or its successor in interest (the "Bank") from time-
to-time as its "reference rate" in effect at its principal office in Chicago,
Illinois. The Interest Rate shall be adjusted from time-to-time on the same day
on which the Bank adjusts its reference rate.

     Principal and interest on this Note shall be payable as follows: Principal
of $___________ shall be payable on _________________ (being the Six Month
Anniversary Date). One-third (1/3) of the remaining outstanding principal amount
of this Note together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be due
and payable on each of _______________ (being the twelve month anniversary of
the date hereof), ____________________ (being the eighteen month anniversary of
the date hereof), and __________ (being the twenty-four month anniversary of the
date hereof).

     Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed.

     All or any part of the principal amount of this Note and any accrued
interest due on any of the respective payment dates or otherwise may be paid at
the Company's option in lawful money of the United States of America in
immediately available funds, shares of common stock of the Company (the "ENBC
Stock"), shares of common stock of Boston Chicken, Inc. ("BCI Stock") (the
issuer of ENBC Stock or BCI Stock being referred to herein as the "Issuer") or
any combination of the foregoing, provided that with respect to ENBC Stock and
BCI Stock, same shall be valued at the average of the closing sales prices per
share of the Common Stock quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, as reported in
the Wall Street Journal (Western Edition), for the five (5) trading days
immediately prior to the second business day before the respective date of
payment (the "Average Price"). The Company may make a payment hereunder with
ENBC Stock or BCI Stock only if (a) the Average Price per share of such stock of
the Issuer as quoted on the NASDAQ National Market, as quoted on such other
market or exchange on which such shares are traded is at least $10, and (b) the
value of the Issuer (defined as the product of the Share Price and the total
number of outstanding shares of such stock of the Issuer) is at least $300
million. In the event ENBC elects to deliver shares of ENBC Stock or shares of
BCI Stock, such shares shall be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and shall be
<PAGE>
 
accompanied by a written undertaking of ENBC to pay to HBSC in cash the excess,
if any, of the value of the shares so delivered over the proceeds (net of
commissions) from the sale of the shares, assuming all shares are sold in
accordance with such reasonable conditions on the timing, daily volume and
manner of sale as may be set forth in such undertaking. Such undertaking shall
be assignable by HBSC to its members to the extent any such shares are assigned
to such members.

     This Note may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty. All
payments made hereunder shall be applied first to interest and then to
outstanding principal.

     If payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a Saturday, Sunday, or
legal holiday, under the laws of the State of Colorado, the due date thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding business day.

     Demand, presentment, protest, diligence, notice of dishonor, and any other
formality are hereby expressly waived by the Company and any endorser or
guarantor.

     If the Company fails to make any payment hereunder when due and such
failure continues for a period of ten (10) days, then this Note shall become
immediately due and payable, without notice, at HBSC's option. If this Note is
not paid at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, HBSC shall have all
of the rights and remedies provided by law or in equity.

     If this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or is
collected through any court, including any bankruptcy court, the Company
promises to pay to HBSC, HBSC's reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs
incurred in collecting or attempting to collect this Note.

     THIS NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS
OF, THE STATE OF COLORADO APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED
THEREIN WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF.

     Any provision herein or any other document executed or delivered in
connection herewith or therewith, or in any other agreement or commitment,
whether written or oral, expressed or implied, to the contrary notwithstanding,
HBSC shall in no event be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall any amounts
received hereunder be credited, so that HBSC shall be paid, as interest, a sum
greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged to the
person primarily obligated to pay this Note at the time in question. If any
construction of this Note or any and all other papers, agreements, or
commitments, indicate a different right given to HBSC to ask for, demand, or
receive any larger sum as interest, such is a mistake in calculation or wording
which this clause shall override and control, it being the intention of the
parties that this Note and all other documents executed or delivered in
connection herewith shall in all ways comply with applicable law and proper
adjustments shall automatically be made accordingly. In the event that HBSC ever
receives, collects, or applies as interest, any sum in excess of the maximum
amount permitted by applicable law, if any, such excess amount shall be applied
to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note, and if this Note
is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be paid to the Company. In
determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific
contingency, exceeds the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, if any, the
Company and HBSC shall, to the maximum extent permitted under
<PAGE>
 
applicable law: (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense or fee
rather than as interest, and (b) "spread" the total amount of interest
throughout the entire term of this Note.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Note to be executed in its
corporate name by the undersigned officer, thereunto duly authorized.

Board of Directors
Einstein/Noah Bagel Corp.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      At your request, we have performed certain agreed upon procedures, as
enumerated below, with respect to the Statements of Materials Cost of Harlan
Bagel Supply Company, LLC, for each of the Quarterly Periods in the year ended
December 31, 19__.  These procedures, which were specified by the Board of
Directors of Einstein/Noah Bagel Corp., and the Board of Managers of Harlan
Bagel Supply Company, LLC were performed solely to meet the requirements of the
Project and Approved Supplier Agreement among Einstein/Noah Bagel Corp., Harlan
Bagel Supply Company, LLC, and Harlan Bakeries, Inc., Hal P. Harlan, Hugh P.
Harlan and Doug H. Harlan  (the "Approved Supplier Agreement").  It is
understood that this report is solely for your information and should not be
used by those who did not participate in determining the procedures.

     a.   We have compared the costs as reported in the Statements of Materials
          Cost to the costs and expenses as reflected in the general ledger of
          Harlan Bagel Supply Company, LLC, and reconciled any material
          differences.

     b.   We have compared the Statements of Materials Cost to the listing of
          costs as per Exhibit A of the referenced Approved Supplier Agreement
          and noted any material addition of cost categories.

     c.   We have compared the total reported number of bagels produced with the
          Production Log and reconciled any material differences.

     d.   We have tested the Statements of Materials Cost for mathematical
          accuracy.

     Because the procedures described above do not constitute an examination of
financial statements in accordance with the Statements on Standards for
Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, we do not express an opinion on whether the financial
statement is presented in conformity with AICPA guidelines.

     In connection with the procedures referred to above, no matters came to our
attention that caused us to believe that the Statements of Materials Cost were
not reflective of the general ledger, that cost categories were included that
were not reflected in Exhibit A of the Approved Supplier Agreement, that the
number of bagels reported was materially different than those 
<PAGE>

shown on the Production Log or that any of the Statements of Materials Cost is
mathematically inaccurate.  Had we performed additional procedures or had we
made an examination in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting
and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, matters might have come to our attention that would have been
reported to you.  We have no responsibility to update this report for events and
circumstances occurring after the date of this report.

                         AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT                  EXHIBIT G
                         ----------------------------                  ---------

     This Amendment (the "Amendment") is dated as of August __, 1997 and is
entered into by and between Einstein/Noah Bagel Corp. ("ENBC" or "Lessor") and
Harlan Bagel Supply Company, LLC (the "Company" or "Lessee") and amends that
certain Lease Agreement dated as of August 27, 1996 between the parties (the
"Lease" or "Agreement"). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the
same meaning ascribed to such terms in the Lease.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.   Article XVIII of the Lease is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:

                     XVIII. END OF LEASE PURCHASE OPTION:

     (a)  So long as Lessee is not then in Default under this Lease, Lessee
shall have the option commencing on August 27, 2003 and continuing until the
expiration of the term of each Schedule, to purchase all (but not less than all)
of the Equipment described on all Schedules of a particular series executed
hereunder upon the following terms and conditions: If Lessee desires to exercise
this option with respect to the Equipment, Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the
closing date of the purchase of the Equipment, in addition to the scheduled Rent
(if any) then due on such date and all other sums then due hereunder, in cash
the purchase price for the Equipment so purchased, determined as hereinafter
provided. If the closing date falls on a date on which scheduled Rent is not
due, Lessee will pay the appropriate pro rata share of the next scheduled Rent
payment. The purchase price of the Equipment shall be an amount equal to the
Fair Market Value of such Equipment, plus all taxes and charges upon sale. Upon
satisfaction of the conditions specified in this Paragraph 9(a), and upon
receipt from Lessee of documentation acceptable to Lessor, Lessor will transfer,
on an AS IS BASIS, all of Lessor's interest in and to such Equipment. Lessor
shall not be required to make and may specifically disclaim any representation
or warranty as to the condition of such Equipment and other matters (except that
Lessor shall warrant that it has conveyed whatever interest it received in such
Equipment free and clear of any lien or encumbrance created by, through or under
Lessor). Lessor shall execute and deliver to Lessee such Uniform Commercial
Code Statements of Termination, bills of sale and other documents as reasonably
may be required in order to terminate any interest of Lessor in and to such
Equipment.

     (b)  For purposes of this Section XVIII, the Fair Market Value of any
Equipment shall be agreed to be the fair market value of the Equipment as agreed
by Lessor and Lessee or as otherwise determined hereunder. If Lessor and Lessee
are unable to agree within thirty (30) days after Lessee gives written notice to
Lessor of its exercise of the foregoing option, then each of Lessor and Lessee
shall within ten (10) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period
appoint an independent appraiser, knowledgeable in the appraisal of assets such
as the Equipment, to determine the fair market value of the Equipment. If the
two appraisers so selected are unable to agree on the fair market value of the
Equipment within forty-five (45) days after appointment, then they shall appoint
a third independent appraiser, knowledgeable in the appraisal of assets such as
the Equipment, who shall determine the fair market value of the Equipment within
thirty (30)

days after appointment. Closing shall take place promptly after Fair Market 
Value is finally determined; provided, however, that closing shall not take 
place earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days after Lessee has given Lessor 
notice of its election to purchase as provided in Paragraph (c) of this Section,
unless the parties otherwise agree. Lessor and Lessee agree that they shall be 
bound by the determination of fair market value pursuant to this Section XVIII, 
and that such determination shall be enforceable by a court of competent 
jurisdiction. Lessor shall bear the fees and expenses of its appraiser, Lessee 
shall bear the fees and expenses of its appraiser, and Lessor and Lessee shall 
bear equally the fees and expenses of the third appraiser, if any.

     (c)  Lessee shall give Lessor written notice of its election of the 
purchase options specified in paragraph (a) of this Section at any time after 
April 30, 2003 and in any event not less than one hundred twenty (120) days 
before the expiration of the Term of the first Schedule of a series to be 
executed under this Lease. Such election shall be effective with respect to all 
Equipment described on all Schedules of that particular series executed 
hereunder. If Lessee fails timely to provide such notice, without further action
Lessee automatically shall be deemed to have not elected to purchase the 
Equipment pursuant to Paragraph (a) of this Section.

     2.   The parties agree that the Lease will terminate upon the exercise by 
ENBC of its option to purchase the assets of the Company pursuant to that 
certain Amended and Restated Option Agreement dated of even date herewith and 
entered into by and among ENBC, the Company, Hal P. Harlan, Hugh P. Harlan and 
Doug H. Harlan.

     3.   Except as amended hereby, the Lease remains in full force and effect.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Lessee and Lessor have caused this Amendment to be 
executed by their duly authorized representatives as of the date first above 
written.
