{REVERSE OF NOTE}


NEW WORLD RESTAURANT
GROUP, INC.


Senior Secured Note due 2008


1.             Interest.  New World Restaurant Group, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal
amount of this Note at the rate of (a) 13.0% per annum plus (b) any additional
interest required under Section 4 of the Registration Rights Agreement,
plus (c) during the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of
Default, 2.0% per annum.  The Company
will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each July 1 and January 1 (each
an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing January 1, 2004.  Interest on the Notes will accrue from the
most recent date on which interest has been paid on this Note or, if no
interest has been paid, from July 8, 2003. 
Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.


2.             Method
of Payment.  The Company shall pay
interest on the Notes to the Persons who are the registered Holders as of the
close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the applicable
Interest Payment Date even if the Notes are cancelled on registration of
transfer or registration of exchange after such Record Date.  Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying
Agent to collect principal payments. 
The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the United
States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts (“U.S. Legal Tender”). 
The Notes will be payable both as to principal and to interest at the
office or agency of the Company, or, at the option of the Company, payment of
interest may be made by its check payable in such U.S. Legal Tender and mailed
to the Holders at their respective registered addresses as set forth in the
register of Holders.  If the Company
defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted
interest plus any interest payable on the defaulted interest in accordance with
Section 2.16 of the Indenture.


3.             Paying
Agent and Registrar.  Until
otherwise designated by the Company, the Registrar and Paying Agent for the
Notes shall be The Bank of New York, the trustee (the “Trustee”) under
the Indenture (as defined below), having an address 101 Barclay Street — 8W,
New York, New York 10286, Attention: Corporate Trust Division.  In addition, until otherwise designated by
the Company, the Company’s office or agency maintained in the Borough of
Manhattan, in the City of New York at which the Notes may be presented for
payment or for transfer or exchange will be the office of the Trustee.  The Company may change any Paying Agent,
Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to the Holders.


4.             Indenture.  The Company issued the Notes under an
Indenture, dated as of  July 8, 2003
(the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the
Trustee.  Capitalized terms herein are
used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein.  The terms of the Notes include those stated
in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”),
as in effect on the date of the Indenture until such time as the Indenture is
qualified under the TIA, and thereafter as in effect on the date on which the
Indenture is qualified under the TIA. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject
to all such terms, and 

















 


Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of
them.  Payment on the Notes is
guaranteed on a senior basis, jointly and severally, by the Subsidiary
Guarantors pursuant to Article Eleven of the Indenture.  Each Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to
be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture, as the same may
be amended from time to time.


5.             Optional
Redemption.  The Notes will be
redeemable, at the Company’s option, in whole at any time or in part from time
to time, on and after July 1, 2004, at the following redemption prices
(expressed as percentages of the principal amount) if redeemed during the
twelve-month period commencing on July 1 of the year set forth below,
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of
redemption:

  %

  



Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time on or prior
to July 1, 2004, the Company may redeem up to 33 1/3% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes originally issued at a redemption price of
113.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon to the redemption date, with the net proceeds of any Equity Offering; provided that at least 66 2/3% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued under this Indenture
remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and provided, further, that such redemption
occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.


6.             Notice
of Redemption.  Notice of redemption
will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days
before the redemption date to each Holder, at each of such Holder’s registered
address, whose Notes are to be redeemed. 
If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, selection
of Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the
requirements of the national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes
are listed, or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or
by such method as the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate; provided that Notes of $1,000 or less may
not be redeemed in part.


Except as set forth in the Indenture, if monies for
the redemption of the Notes called for redemption shall have been deposited
with the Paying Agent for redemption on such redemption date, then, unless the
Company defaults in the payment of such redemption price plus accrued interest,
if any, the Notes called for redemption will cease to bear interest from and
after such redemption date, and the only remaining right of the Holders of such
Notes will be to receive payment of the redemption price plus accrued interest,
if any, as of the redemption date upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the
Notes redeemed.

















 


7.             Offers
to Purchase.  Section 4.14 of the
Indenture provides that, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, and
subject to further limitations contained therein, the Company will make an
offer to purchase certain amounts of the Notes in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the Indenture.


8.             Registration
Rights.  Pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the date of the Indenture among the
Company and the Holders of the Initial Notes, the Company will be obligated to
consummate an exchange offer pursuant to which the Holder of this Note shall
have the right to exchange this Note for the Company’s Senior Secured Notes due
2008, Series B (the “Exchange Notes”), which have been registered under
the Securities Act, in like principal amount and having terms identical in all
material respects as the Initial Notes. 
The Holders of the Initial Notes shall be entitled to receive certain
additional interest payments in the event such exchange offer is not
consummated and upon certain other conditions, all pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.


9.             Denominations;
Transfer; Exchange.  The Notes are
in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000.  A Holder shall
register the transfer of or exchange of Notes in accordance with the
Indenture.  The Registrar or co-Registrar
may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements
and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar
governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the
Indenture.  Subject to certain
provisions in the Indenture, the Registrar or co-Registrar need not register the
transfer of or exchange of any Notes or portions thereof selected for
redemption.  Also the Registrar or
co-Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of any Note during a
period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the mailing of a
notice of redemption of notes and ending at the close of business on the day of
such mailing.


10.           Persons
Deemed Owners.  The registered
Holder of a Note shall be treated as the owner of such Note for all purposes.


11.           Unclaimed
Money.  If money for the payment of
principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years (or such sooner period as
may be required by applicable abandoned property laws), the Trustee and the
Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company.  After that, all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent
with respect to such money shall cease.


12.           Discharge
Prior to Redemption or Maturity.  If
the Company at any time deposits with the Trustee U.S. Legal Tender or U.S.
Government Obligations sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the
Notes to redemption or maturity and complies with the other provisions of the
Indenture relating thereto, the Company will be discharged from certain
provisions of the Indenture and the Notes (including certain covenants, but
excluding its obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes).


13.           Amendment;
Supplement; Waiver.  Subject to
certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented
by the Company, the Trustee and with the written consent of the Holders of at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding,
and, subject to Section 6.07 of the Indenture, noncompliance with any 

















 


provision of the Indenture or this Note may be waived with the written
consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding.  Without the consent
of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture or the
Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency,
provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated
Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to Holders in
the case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would provide
any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely
affect the legal right under the Indenture of any such Holder, or to comply
with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the
TIA.  As provided in the Indenture,
there shall be no amendment, supplement or waiver without the consent of each
Holder of each Note affected thereby with respect to the circumstances
enumerated in Section 9.02 therein.


14.           Restrictive
Covenants.  The Indenture imposes
certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to,
among other things, incur additional Indebtedness or Liens, issue or sell its
Capital Stock, enter into transactions with Affiliates, cause to be effective
restrictions affecting Subsidiaries’ abilities to pay certain dividends or make
certain loans, merge or consolidate with any other Person, sell, assign,
transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
assets or adopt a plan of liquidation. 
Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and
exceptions.  The Company must annually
report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.


15.           Successors.  When a successor assumes, in accordance with
the Indenture, all the Obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the
Indenture, the predecessor will be released from those Obligations.


16.           Defaults
and Remedies.  If an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding may declare all the Notes
to be due and payable in the manner, at the time and with the effect provided
in the Indenture.  Holders may not
enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.  The Trustee is not obligated to exercise any
of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture or the Notes and at the
order or direction of any Holders, unless it has received indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it.  Subject to certain
limitations set forth in the Indenture, Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its
exercise of any trust or power.  The
Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of
Default (except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of
principal or interest or a failure to comply with Article Five of the
Indenture) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.


17.           Trustee
Dealings with Company.  The Trustee
under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the
owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company, its
Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates, as such, with the same rights it
would have as if it were not the Trustee.


18.           No
Recourse Against Others.  No past,
present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of
the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for
any Obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under 

















 


the Notes or the Indenture, the Collateral Agreements, any Subsidiary
Guarantee, the Registration Rights Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement or
for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or
their creations.  Each Holder by
accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability.  Such waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issuance of the Notes.


19.           Authentication.  This Note shall not be valid until the
Trustee or Authenticating Agent manually signs the certificate of
authentication on this Note.


20.           Governing
Law.  The laws of the State of New
York shall govern this Note and the Indenture.


21.           Abbreviations
and Defined Terms.  Customary
abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN
COM (= tenants-in-common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (=
joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants-in-common), CUST (=
Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).


22.           CUSIP
Numbers.  Pursuant to a
recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification
Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes as
a convenience to the Holders.  No
representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers as printed on the
Notes and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
printed hereon.


The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written
request and without charge a copy of the Indenture.


Requests may be made to:  New World Restaurant Group, Inc., 1687 Cole Boulevard, Golden,
