to the terms herein.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, in consideration of the undertakings and
commitments of each party to the other set forth in this Agreement hereby
agree as follows:

I.     APPOINTMENT AND FRANCHISE FEE

     A.     Franchisor hereby grants to Franchisee, upon the terms and
conditions herein contained, the right, license and privilege to use the
Marks, and Franchisee undertakes the obligation to operate a EASYRIDERS retail
business for the sale and distribution of a wide assortment of motorcycle
paraphernalia and hard goods, some of which will bear the Marks, and related
merchandise and products ("Franchised Business") and to use safely in
connection therewith the System, as it may be changed, improved and further
developed from time to time, at one location only, such location to be:

         1) Horry County, South Carolina, street address to be determined
_________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________ or;
          2) At a location to be designated, as provided in Paragraph III
hereof within the following area:   N/A ____________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
Provided, however, that when a location has been designated and approved by
the parties, said location shall become Paragraph I.A.1., as if originally
incorporated therein. Franchisee shall not relocate the Franchised Business
without the prior written approval of Franchisor.

     B.     Franchisee receives an exclusive territory and such territories
will vary in size and dimensions. Franchisor shall not grant to itself or
another person a EASYRIDERS franchise within such exclusive territory. The
determination of the exclusive territory shall be made and agreed upon between
Franchisor and Franchisee. The exclusive territory so selected is described in
writing below and in a map attached hereto as Exhibit C and hereby made a part
of this Agreement. Franchisee may relocate its business within the same
general vicinity, while remaining in the aforesaid territory, only with the
prior written approval of Franchisor and subject to the rights of other
franchisees.

     C.     Franchisor will not, so long as this Agreement is in force and
effect and Franchisee is not in material default under any of the terms
hereof, enfranchise or operate any other EASYRIDERS business within the
following area: Horry  County, South Carolina _______________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________("Designated Area").

     D.     Franchisor has the right, in its sole discretion, to grant such
other franchises outside of the Designated Area as Franchisor, in its sole and
exclusive discretion, deems appropriate. Further, both within and outside of
the Designated Area, Franchisee acknowledges that Franchisor may hereafter and
that Franchisor's affiliates have and will continue to hereafter advertise,
promote, offer and sell at wholesale or retail and authorize others the right
to offer and sell (in various ways including mail order catalog sales,
magazine and other media advertising and promotions through company owned
stores, licensed Full-line Dealers, mobile retail showrooms at various public
events, and through other motorcycle-related vendors or any other species of
wholesale or retail vendor whatsoever), the products which may comprise or may
in the future comprise a part of the System. Those products and services which
comprise a part of the EASYRIDERS System are delineated and set forth in
detail in the EASYRIDERS Confidential Operations Manual ("Confidential
Operations Manual"), which Confidential Operations Manual may be amended from
time to time to reflect additions to, deletions from and modifications to the
specifications of those services and products which comprise a part of the
System.

     E.     In consideration of the franchise granted herein, Franchisee shall
pay to Franchisor an initial franchise fee ("Franchise Fee") of FIVE THOUSAND
Dollars ($5,000.00). The initial franchise fee is waived for "Full-line
Dealer" licensees of Franchisor or its affiliate who elect to become a
Franchised Business by executing a Franchise Agreement within thirty (30) days
of the applicable effective date. Said fee shall be deemed fully earned and
non-refundable upon execution of this Agreement as consideration for expenses
incurred by Franchisor in furnishing assistance and services to Franchisee and
for Franchisor's lost or deferred opportunity to franchise others, except as
may be specifically provided in this Agreement, Exhibit B, or any other
Exhibit attached hereto.

     F.     Franchisee acknowledges that because complete and detailed
uniformity under many varying conditions may not be possible or practical,
Franchisor specifically reserves the right and privilege, at its sole
discretion and as it may deem in the best interests of all concerned in any
specific instance, to vary standards for any System franchisee based upon the
peculiarities of the particular site or circumstance, density of population,
business potential, population of trade area, existing business practices or
any other condition which Franchisor deems to be of importance to the
successful operation of such franchisee's business. Franchisee shall not be
entitled to require Franchisor to disclose or grant to franchisee a like or
similar variation hereunder.

II.     TERM AND RENEWAL

     A.     This Agreement shall be effective and binding from the date of its
execution for an initial term equal to five (5) years commencing on the date
of execution of this Agreement.

     B.     Franchisee shall have the right to renew this franchise before the
expiration of the initial term of the Franchise for three (3) additional
successive terms of five (5) years each, providing all of the conditions
hereinafter set forth have been fulfilled:

          1.     Franchisee has, during the entire term of this Agreement,
complied with all its provisions;

          2.     Franchisee maintains possession of the premises of the
Franchised Business ("Franchised Premises") and by the expiration date of this
Agreement has brought the Franchised Business into full compliance with the
specifications and standards then applicable for new or renewing EASYRIDERS
businesses and presents evidence satisfactory to Franchisor that it has the
right to remain in possession of the Franchised Premises for the duration of
any renewal term; or, in the event Franchisee is unable to maintain possession
of the premises, or if in the judgment of Franchisor, the Franchised Business
should be relocated, Franchisee secures substitute premises approved by
Franchisor and has furnished, stocked and equipped such premises to bring the
Franchised Business at its substitute premises into full compliance with the
then-current specifications and standards by the expiration date of this
Agreement;

          3.     Franchisee has given notice of renewal to Franchisor as
provided below;

          4.     Franchisee has satisfied all monetary obligations owed by
Franchisee to Franchisee's suppliers, Franchisor and its affiliates, if any,
and has timely met these obligations throughout the term of this Agreement;

          5.     Franchisee has executed upon renewal Franchisor's
then-current form of Franchise Agreement (with appropriate modifications to
reflect the fact that the agreement relates to the grant of a renewal
Franchise), which agreement shall supersede in all respects this Agreement,
and the terms of which may differ from the terms of this Agreement, including,
without limitation, a different percentage Continuing Services and Royalty
Fee, advertising contribution and/or a different territory; provided, however,
Franchisee shall not be required to pay the then-current initial franchise fee
or its equivalent;

          6.     Franchisee has complied with Franchisor's then-current
qualification and training requirements; and

          7.     Franchisee has executed a general release, in a form
prescribed by Franchisor, of any and all claims against Franchisor and its
affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees.

     C.     f Franchisee desires to renew this franchise at the expiration of
this Agreement or any renewal period, Franchisee shall give Franchisor written
notice of its desire to renew at least twelve (12) months, but not more than
eighteen (18) months, prior to the expiration of the initial term of this
Agreement. Within sixty (6O) days after its receipt of such timely notice,
Franchisor shall furnish Franchisee with written notice of: (i) reasons which
could cause Franchisor not to grant a renewal to Franchisee, including any
deficiencies which require correction and a schedule for correction thereof by
Franchisee; and (ii) Franchisor's then-current requirements relating to the
image, appearance, decoration, furnishing, equipping and stocking of
EASYRIDERS businesses, and a schedule for effecting such upgrading or
modifications in order to bring the Franchised Business in compliance
therewith, as a condition of renewal. Renewal of the franchise shall be
conditioned upon Franchisee's compliance with such requirements and continued
compliance with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement up to the date
of termination of the initial term, provided, however, that in the event
Franchisee is curing any deficiencies as required by Franchisor, the term of
this Agreement shall be extended for a period of time equal to the number of
days required to cure such deficiency.

     D.     Franchisor shall give Franchisee written notice of its election to
renew or not renew the franchise six (6) months prior to the expiration of the
initial term of this Agreement.


III.     BUSINESS LOCATION

     A.     Franchisee may operate the Franchised Business only at the
location specified in Paragraph I hereof. If the lease for the site of the
Franchised Business expires or terminates without fault of Franchisee, or if
the site is destroyed, condemned or otherwise rendered unusable, as otherwise
may be agreed upon in writing by Franchisor and Franchisee, Franchisor will
grant permission for relocation of the Franchised Business at a location and
site acceptable to Franchisor. Any such relocation shall be at Franchisee's
sole expense and Franchisor shall have the right to charge Franchisee for any
costs incurred by Franchisor, and a reasonable fee for its services, in
connection with any such relocation of the Franchised Business.

     B.     Franchisee will be responsible for purchasing or leasing a
suitable site for the Franchised Business. Prior to the acquisition by lease
or purchase of any site for the Franchised Premises, Franchisee shall submit a
description of the proposed site to Franchisor, together with a letter of
intent or other evidence satisfactory to Franchisor which confirms
Franchisee's favorable prospects for obtaining the proposed site. Franchisor
shall provide Franchisee written notice of approval or disapproval of the
proposed site within thirty (30) days after receiving Franchisee's written
proposal.

     C.     After receiving Franchisor's written approval of the location of
the Franchised Business as provided in Paragraph III.B. hereof, Franchisee
shall execute a lease (if the premises are to be leased) or a binding
agreement to purchase the site, the terms of which have been previously
approved by Franchisor. Franchisor's approval of the lease shall be
conditioned upon inclusion in the lease of terms acceptable to Franchisor and,
at Franchisor's option, the lease shall contain such provisions as Franchisor
may reasonably require, including, but not limited to:

           1.     A provision reserving to Franchisor the right, at
Franchisor's election, to receive an assignment of the leasehold interest upon
termination or expiration of the franchise grant;

           2.     A provision which expressly permits the lessor of the
premises to provide Franchisor all sales and other information it may have
related to the operation of the Franchised Business, as Franchisor may
request;

           3.     A provision which requires the lessor concurrently to
provide Franchisor with a copy of any written notice of deficiency under the
lease sent to Franchisee and which grants to Franchisor, in its sole
discretion and sole option, the right (but not the obligation) to cure any
deficiency under the lease should Franchisee fail to do so within fifteen (15)
days after the expiration of the period in which Franchisee may cure the
default;

           4.     A provision which evidences the right of Franchisee to
display the Marks in accordance with the specifications required by the
Confidential Operations Manual, subject only to the provisions of applicable
law;

           5.     A provision that the premises shall be used only for the
operation of the Franchised Business;

           6.     A provision which expressly states that any default under
the lease shall constitute a default under this Agreement; and

           7.     A provision which states that upon default of this Agreement
and in accordance with this Agreement, Franchisor may, in its sole discretion,
take possession of the Franchised Premises and operate the Franchised
Business.

     D.     If the location is not designated above, Franchisor shall use
reasonable efforts to help analyze Franchisee's market area, to help determine
site feasibility, and to assist in the designation of the location, which must
be approved by Franchisor; provided however, that Franchisor will not conduct
site selection activities on Franchisee's behalf. While Franchisor shall
utilize its experience and expertise in a designation of location, nothing
contained herein shall be interpreted as a guarantee of success for said
location nor shall any site recommendation or approval made by Franchisor be
deemed a representation that any particular site is available for use as a
EASYRIDERS business. It shall be the sole responsibility of Franchisee to
undertake site selection activities and otherwise secure premises for
Franchisee's Franchised Business.

     E.     In the event no acceptable site is found and approved by the
parties within ninety (90) days from the date of this Agreement, then and in
that event, upon written application from either party, this contract shall be
terminated and deposits received by Franchisor shall be resumed to Franchisee.
Provided, however, that in the event Franchisor has within the aforesaid time
submitted in writing to Franchisee two (2) or more sites which are acceptable
to Franchisor, and Franchisee has refused to accept same, then Franchisee,
upon termination, shall forfeit to Franchisor the sum of FOUR THOUSAND Dollars
($4,000.00) as liquidated damages in payment for Franchisor's expenses in its
site evaluation and selection activities. Franchisee and Franchisor agree that
the amount set forth to wit, TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED Dollars ($2,500.00) as
liquidated damages is a reasonable amount and that due to the nature of the
subject matter, it will be impossible to ascertain the exact amount of damages
sustained by the recipient therefore.

     F.     Franchisor shall require Franchisee to provide all of the
following to Franchisor, promptly upon obtaining possession of the site for
the Franchised Business: (i) cause to be prepared and submit for approval by
Franchisor a site survey and any modifications to Franchisor's basic
architectural requirements and specifications (not for construction) for a
EASYRIDERS business (including requirements for dimensions, exterior design,
materials, and work area design and layout, equipment, fixtures, furniture,
signs and decorating) required for the development of a EASYRIDERS business at
the site leased or purchased therefor, provided that Franchisee may modify
Franchisor's basic plans and specifications only to the extent required to
comply with all applicable ordinances, building codes and permit requirements
and with prior notification to and approval by Franchisor; (ii) obtain all
required zoning changes; all required building, utility, health, sanitation,
and sign permits and licenses and any other required permits and licenses;
(iii) purchase or lease equipment, fixtures, furniture and signs as provided
herein; (iv) complete the construction and/or remodeling, equipment, fixture,
furniture and sign installation and decorating of the Franchised Business in
full and strict compliance with plans and specifications therefor approved by
Franchisor and all applicable ordinances, building codes and permit
requirements; (v) obtain all customary contractors' sworn statements and
partial and final waivers of lien for construction, remodeling, decorating and
installation services; and (vi) otherwise complete development of and have the
Franchised Business ready to open and commence the conduct of its business in
accordance with Paragraph XII. hereof.

     G.     Franchisee shall be required to periodically make reasonable
capital expenditures to remodel, modernize and redecorate the Franchised
Premises so that the Franchised Business will reflect the then-image intended
to be portrayed by EASYRIDERS business. All remodeling, modernization, or
redecoration of the Franchised Business and its premises must be done in
accordance with the standards and specifications as prescribed by Franchisor
from time to time and with the prior written approval of Franchisor. All
replacements must conform to Franchisor's then-current quality standards and
specifications and must be approved by Franchisor in writing. Franchisee shall
not be required to remodel, modernize and redecorate the Franchised Business
and its premises more than once during the initial term of this Agreement
requiring expenditures in excess of TWELVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED Dollars
($12,500.00); however, maintenance of the Franchised Premises may exceed this
amount, and maintenance costs may not be credited to remodeling,
modernization, or redecoration expenditures. If the lease for the Franchised
Premises requires expenditures for remodeling, modernization and redecoration,
such an amount shall be credited to amounts required by Franchisor.

IV.     TRAINING AND ASSISTANCE

     Franchisor shall make training available to Franchisee or its designated
manager and Franchisee or its designated manager must successfully complete
the following training programs.

     A.     Prior to opening for business, Franchisor will provide to
Franchisee and Franchisee's designated manager a training and familiarization
course of approximately one (1) to two (2) weeks in duration to be conducted
at an operating EASYRIDERS retail store or at such other place as Franchisor
shall designate. Said training program shall cover various aspects of the
operation of a EASYRIDERS franchise.

     B.     Franchisor will provide a second phase of training to Franchisee
and Franchisee's designated manager at Franchisor designated business
location. This hands on training program will be provided prior to
Franchisee's commencement of operations.

     C.     Around the commencement of operations of the Franchised Business,
additional assistance in opening the Franchised Business will be made
available to Franchisee through a third party at cost and at Franchisee's
expense. Franchisor, in its discretion, may require such third party
assistance if Franchisor feels it is necessary and appropriate, based on
Franchisee's performance in training.

     D.     If Franchisor determines, in its sole discretion, that Franchisee
is unable to satisfactorily complete the training programs, Franchisor shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement in the manner herein provided. If
this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Paragraph, Franchisor shall
return to Franchisee the franchise fee paid by Franchisee less an amount, not
to exceed THREE THOUSAND Dollars ($3,000.00) to compensate Franchisor for work
performed and expenses incurred in connection with said training. Upon return
of said amount, Franchisor shall be fully and forever released from any claims
or causes of action Franchisee may have under or pursuant to this Agreement
and Franchisee shall have no further right, title or interest in the Marks and
the System and any such rights shall automatically revert to Franchisor.

     E.     If Franchisee designates new or additional managers after the
initial training program, Franchisor shall provide training to such managers
to the extent that Franchisor can reasonably accommodate such managers in
Franchisor's regularly scheduled training courses. Franchisor shall provide
such training to up to two managers a year for no tuition, additional managers
will be trained at the then-current published rates. Franchisee shall be
responsible for any travel, accommodation or salary expense associated with
training. In no event will Franchisor be under any obligation to provide
individual training to Franchisee's managers.

     F.     Franchisor from time to time may provide and may require that
previously-trained and experienced franchisees or their managers or employees
attend and successfully complete refresher training programs or seminars to be
conducted within Franchisor's Metropolitan Statistical Area ("MSA") as that
term is defined by the United States Census Bureau, at such location as may be
designated by Franchisor. Attendance at such refresher training programs or
seminars shall be at Franchisee's sole expense; provided, however, that
attendance will not be required at more than one (1) such program in any
calendar year and shall not exceed five (5) business days in duration.

     G.     All expenses incurred by Franchisee and its employees in attending
training programs, including, without limitation, travel costs, room and board
expenses, and employees salaries shall be the sole responsibility of
Franchisee.

V.     PROPRIETARY MARKS

     A.     Franchisee acknowledges that Franchisor's affiliate is the owner
of all right, title and interest together with all the goodwill of the Marks
and that Franchisee's right to use the Marks is derived solely from this
Agreement and is limited to the conduct of business by Franchisee pursuant to
and in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable standards,
specifications, and operating procedures prescribed by Franchisor from time to
time during the term of the franchise. Any unauthorized use of the Marks by
Franchisee is a breach of this Agreement and an infringement of the rights of
Franchisor and its affiliate in and to the Marks. Franchisee acknowledges that
all usage of the Marks by Franchisee and any goodwill established by
Franchisee's use of the Marks shall inure to the exclusive benefit of
Franchisor and its affiliate and that this Agreement does not confer any
goodwill or other interests in the Marks upon Franchisee and its affiliate.
Franchisee shall not, at any time during the term of this Agreement or after
its termination or expiration, contest the validity or ownership of any of the
Marks or assist any other person in contesting the validity or ownership of
any of the Marks. All provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Marks
apply to any additional trademarks, service marks, and commercial symbols
authorized for use by and licensed to Franchisee by Franchisor after the date
of this Agreement.

      B.     Franchisee shall not use any Mark or portion of any of the Marks
as part of any corporate or trade name, or with any prefix, suffix, or other
modifying words, terms, designs, or symbols, or in any modified form.
Franchisee shall not use any Marks in connection with the sale of any
unauthorized product or service or in any other manner not expressly
authorized in writing by Franchisor. Franchisee shall properly attribute
ownership of the Marks to Franchisor's affiliate and shall give such notices
of trademark and service mark registrations as Franchisor specifies and obtain
such fictitious or assumed name registrations as may be required under
applicable law.

     C.     Franchisee shall promptly notify Franchisor of any potential or
actual claim, demand, or cause of action known by Franchisee or which
Franchisee reasonably suspects or believes may exist, based upon or arising
from any attempt by any other person, firm or corporation to use the Marks or
any colorable imitation thereof. Franchisee shall also notify Franchisor of
any action, claim or demand against Franchisee relating to the Marks within
ten (10) days after Franchisee receives notice of said action, claim or
demand. Upon receipt of timely notice of an action, claim or demand against
Franchisee relating to the Marks, Franchisor and/or its affiliate shall have
the sole right to determine all matters and issues relating to the defense of
said action. Franchisor and/or its affiliate shall have the exclusive right to
challenge, oppose, contest or bring legal action against any third party
regarding the third party's use of any of the Marks and shall exercise such
right in its sole discretion. In any defense or prosecution of any litigation
relating to the Marks or components of the System undertaken by Franchisor
and/or its affiliate, Franchisee shall cooperate with Franchisor and/or its
affiliate and execute any and all documents and take all actions as may be
desirable or necessary in the opinion of Franchisor's and/or its affiliate's
counsel, to protect the Marks and to defend or prosecute any litigation
relating to the Marks or components of the System. Both parties will make
every effort consistent with the foregoing to protect, maintain, and promote
the Marks as identifying the System and only the System. FRANCHISOR MAKES NO
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE USE, EXCLUSIVE
OWNERSHIP, VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE MARKS.

     D.     If it becomes advisable at any time in Franchisor's sole
discretion, for Franchisor and/or Franchisee to modify or discontinue use of
any of the Marks, and/or use one (1) or more additional or substitute trade
names, trademarks, service marks, or other commercial symbols, Franchisee
shall comply with Franchisor's directions within a reasonable time after
notice to Franchisee by Franchisor, and Franchisor shall have no liability or
obligation whatsoever with respect to Franchisee's modification or
discontinuance of any Mark.

     E.     In order to preserve the validity and integrity of the Marks and
copyrighted materials franchised herein and to assure that Franchisee is
properly employing the same in the operation of its Franchised Business,
Franchisor or its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect
Franchisee's premises (with or without prior notice) during normal business
hours and, additionally, shall have the right to observe the manner in which
Franchisee is conducting its operations, to confer with Franchisee's employees
and customers, and to select and inspect Franchisee's merchandise to make
certain that such merchandise is satisfactory and meets the quality control
provisions and performance standards established by Franchisor.

VI.     CONFIDENTIAL OPERATIONS MANUAL

     A.     Franchisor will loan to Franchisee during the term of the
franchise one (1) or more copies of a Confidential Operations Manual
containing reasonable, mandatory and suggested specifications, standards,
operating procedures and rules prescribed from time to time by Franchisor for
EASYRIDERS businesses and information relative to other obligations of
Franchisee hereunder and the operation of its Franchised Business. Franchisor
shall have the right to add to and otherwise modify the Confidential
Operations Manual from time to time to reflect changes in the specifications,
standards, operating procedures and rules by Franchisor for EASYRIDERS
businesses, provided that no such addition or modification shall alter
Franchisee's fundamental status and rights under this Agreement.

     B.     The Confidential Operations Manual shall at all times remain the
sole property of Franchisor and shall promptly be returned upon the expiration
or other termination of this Agreement. Franchisee shall not to make any
disclosure, duplication or other unauthorized use of any portion of the
Confidential Operations Manual.

     C.     The Confidential Operations Manual contains proprietary
information of Franchisor and shall be kept confidential by Franchisee both
during the term of the franchise and subsequent to the expiration or
termination of the franchise. Franchisee shall at all times insure that its
copy of the Confidential Operations Manual is available at the Franchised
Business premises in a current and up-to-date manner. At all times that the
Confidential Operations Manual is not in use by authorized personnel,
Franchisee shall maintain the Confidential Operations Manual in a locked
receptacle at the Franchised Premises, and shall only grant authorized
personnel, as defined in the Confidential Operations Manual, access to the key
or lock combination of such receptacle. In the event of any dispute as to the
contents of the Confidential Operations Manual, the terms of the master copy
of the Confidential Operations Manual maintained by Franchisor at Franchisor's
home office shall be controlling.

VII.     CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

     A.     Franchisee acknowledges that its entire knowledge of the operation
of a EASYRIDERS business including the knowledge or know-how regarding the
specifications, standards and operating procedures of a EASYRIDERS business,
is derived from information disclosed to Franchisee by Franchisor which
information is proprietary, confidential and a trade secret of Franchisor. All
information, standards and specifications with respect to the sale of
motorcycle paraphernalia and/or which identifies or assists in the
identification of actual or potential customers of the Franchised Business are
the trade secrets and the proprietary information of Franchisor. Franchisee
shall maintain the absolute confidentiality of all such information during and
after the term of the franchise and shall not use any such information in any
other business or in any manner not specifically authorized or approved in
writing by Franchisor.

     B.     Franchisee shall divulge trade secret information only to such of
its employees and only to the extent that such access is necessary for them to
operate the Franchised Business. Any and all information, knowledge and
know-how, including,  without limitation, designs, drawings, materials,
equipment, retail business systems and methods, merchandising techniques and
procedures and other data, which Franchisor designates as confidential or
proprietary or a trade secret shall be deemed to be a trade secret for
purposes of this Agreement, excepting only such information as Franchisee can
demonstrate lawfully came to its attention prior to disclosure thereof by
Franchisor; or which, at the time of disclosure by Franchisor to Franchisee,
had lawfully become a part of the public domain, through publication or
communication by others; or which, after disclosure to Franchisee by
Franchisor, lawfully becomes a part of the public domain, through publication
or communication by others.

     C.     Due to the special and unique nature of the confidential
information, Marks, and Confidential Operations Manual of Franchisor,
Franchisee acknowledges that Franchisor shall be entitled to immediate
equitable remedies, including but not limited to, restraining orders and
injunctive relief in order to safeguard such trade secrets, and proprietary,
confidential, unique, and special information of Franchisor and that money
damages alone would be an insufficient remedy with which to compensate
Franchisor for any breach of the terms of Paragraphs V., VI., and VII. of this
Agreement. Furthermore, all employees of Franchisee having access to the
confidential and proprietary information of Franchisor shall be required to
execute confidential information agreements in a form acceptable to
Franchisor.

VIII.     MODIFICATION OF THE SYSTEM

     Franchisee recognizes that from time to time hereafter Franchisor may
change or modify the System presently identified by the Marks including,
without limitation, the adoption and use of new or modified trade names,
trademarks, service marks or copyrighted materials, new computer programs and
systems, new types or brands of merchandise and products, new inventory
requirements, new equipment or new techniques and that Franchisee will accept,
use and display for the purpose of this Agreement any such changes in the
System, as if they were part of this Agreement at the time of execution
hereof. Franchisee will make such expenditures as such changes or
modifications in the System may reasonably require. Franchisee shall not
change, modify or alter in any way the System.

IX.      ADVERTISING

     Recognizing the value of advertising and the importance of the
standardization of advertising and promotion to the furtherance of the
goodwill and the public image of EASYRIDERS businesses, Franchisee agrees as
follows:

     A.     Franchisee will submit to Franchisor or its designated agency, for
its prior approval, all promotional materials and advertising to be used by
Franchisee, including, but not limited to, newspapers, radio and television
advertising, specialty and novelty items, signs, containers, and Yellow Page
advertising. In the event written disapproval of said advertising and
promotional material is not given by Franchisor to Franchisee within thirty
(30) days from the date such material is received by Franchisor, said
materials shall be deemed approved. Failure by Franchisee to conform with the
provisions herein and subsequent nonaction by Franchisor to require Franchisee
to cure or remedy this failure and default shall not be deemed a waiver of
future or additional failures and defaults of any other provision of this
Agreement. The submission of advertising to Franchisor for approval shall not
affect Franchisee's right to determine the prices at which Franchisee sells
its products or services.

      B.      Within the initial six (6) months of operation of the Franchised
Business, Franchisee shall expend a minimum of TWO THOUSAND Dollars
($2,000.00) as designated by Franchisor for catalog, newspaper, direct mail,
advertising or promotional items as grand opening advertising and promotion to
generate initial consumer awareness and patronage ("Grand Opening
Advertising"); provided, however, Franchisor may collect and spend a portion
of the sums designated for Grand Opening Advertising for promotions which
feature the EASYRIDERS land speed record setting motorcycle commonly known as
the "Streamliner". Franchisor shall prepare an accounting of expenditures by
Franchisor which shall be made available to Franchisee and shall refund to
Franchisee any monies which are not spent in accordance with the
above-mentioned Grand Opening Advertising procedures. Full-line Dealers who
convert to the System shall not be required to make expenditures for or
conduct any Grand Opening Advertising.

     C.      Franchisee shall contribute to the EASYRIDERS Advertising and
Development Fund ("Fund") an amount equal to two percent (2%) of Franchisee's
Gross Sales, as defined in Paragraph X. Franchisee's required payments to the
Fund shall be made at the same time and in the same manner as, and in addition
to, the Continuing Services and Royalty Fee provided in Paragraph X herein.
Such payment shall be made in addition to and exclusive of any sums that
Franchisee may be required to spend on local advertising and promotion.
Full-line Dealers who convert to the System shall not be required to
contribute to the Fund until the earlier of the expiration of such licensee's
current License Agreement or two (2) years from the date of execution of this
Agreement ("Waiver Period"). The fund shall be maintained and administered by
Franchisor or its designee, as follows:

           1.     Franchisor shall supervise all advertising programs with
sole discretion over the creative concepts, materials and media used in such
programs and the placement and allocation thereof. Advertising programs may be
primarily concentrated in Franchisor's affiliates' publications and catalog
promotion. Franchisor or its designee shall make expenditures for advertising
or promotion in Franchisee's Area of Dominant Influence. However, Franchisor
cannot and does not ensure any particular franchisee benefits directly pro
rata from the placement of advertising.

           2.     The funds may also be used to meet any and all costs of
maintaining, administering, directing and preparing advertising (including,
without limitation, the cost of conducting public relations activities,
conducting advertising; and producing promotional brochures, and other
marketing materials to franchisees in the System). All sums paid by Franchisee
to the Fund shall be maintained in a separate account from the other funds of
Franchisor and shall not be used to defray any of Franchisor's general
operating expenses, except for such reasonable administrative costs and
overhead, if any, as Franchisor may incur in activities reasonably related to
the administration or direction of the Fund and advertising programs
including, without limitation, conducting market research, preparing marketing
and advertising materials, and collecting and accounting for assessments for
the Fund.

           3.     It is anticipated that all contributions to the Fund shall
be expended for advertising and promotional purposes during Franchisor's
fiscal year within which contributions are made. If, however, excess amounts
remain in the Fund at the end of such fiscal year, all expenditures in the
following fiscal year(s) shall be made first out of any current interest or
other earnings of the Fund, next out of any accumulated earnings, and finally
from principal.

          4.    Although Franchisor intends the Fund to be of perpetual
duration, Franchisor maintains the right to terminate the Fund. The Fund shall
not be terminated,  however, until all monies in the Fund have been expended
for advertising and promotional purposes.

          5.    An accounting of the operation of the Fund shall be prepared
annually and shall be made available to Franchisee upon request. Franchisor
reserves the right, at its option, to require that such annual accounting
include an audit of the operation of the Fund prepared by an independent
certified public accountant selected by Franchisor and prepared at the expense
of the Fund.

     D.     Franchisee shall spend a minimum of one percent (1%) of
Franchisee's Gross Sales per month on local advertising in the manner directed
by Franchisor in its sole discretion. Franchisee shall submit to Franchisor an
accounting of Franchisee's expenditures on local advertising required pursuant
to this Paragraph IX. D. in the form and manner specified in the Confidential
Operations Manual.

     E.     From time to time, Franchisor may designate a local or regional
advertising coverage area in which Franchisee's business and at least one (1)
other EASYRIDERS business is located for purposes of developing a cooperative
local or regional advertising or promotional program. If directed by
Franchisor, Franchisee agrees to participate in and contribute to such
cooperative advertising and promotional programs in Franchisee's Advertising
Coverage Areas in addition to such contributions and expenditures as required
pursuant to Paragraphs IX.B. and IX.C.  The cost of the program shall be
allocated among locations in such area and each franchisee's share shall be in
proportion to its sales during the preceding twelve (12) month period, or
portion of said period. Said contributions to cooperative advertising
promotional programs will be credited toward the local advertising and
promotional expenditure required in Paragraph IX.D. above. At the time a
program is submitted, Franchisor shall submit a list to Franchisee of all
operating businesses within the advertising coverage area.


     F.     Franchisee shall maintain a business phone and advertise
continuously in the classified or Yellow Pages of the local telephone
directory under the listings "Motorcycles", "Motorcycles  - Supplies, Parts
and Accessories", or such other listings as deemed appropriate by Franchisor
using mats of the type and size approved in advance by Franchisor. When more
than one (1) EASYRIDERS business serves a metropolitan area, classified
advertisements shall 1ist all EASYRIDERS businesses operating within the
distribution area of such classified directories, and Franchisee shall
contribute its equal share of the cost of such advertisement. The expenditures
for such advertising shall not be credited toward other advertising
requirements pursuant to this Agreement.

     G.     Franchisor may, from time to time, develop and market special
catalogs, brochures and other promotional items which will be made available
to Franchisee at Franchisor's cost plus a reasonable mark up and Franchisee
shall maintain a representative inventory of such promotional items to meet
public demand. Franchisee shall have the right to purchase alternative
promotional items provided that such alternative goods conform to the
specifications and quality standards established by Franchisor from time to
time.

     H.     Franchisee shall not advertise or use in advertising or any other
form of promotion, the copyrighted materials, trademarks, service marks, logos
or commercial symbols designated by Franchisor without an appropriate c
[copyright symbol appears here] or R [registration mark symbol appears here] 
registration marks or the designation TM or SM where applicable.

X.     CONTINUING SERVICES AND ROYALTY FEE

     A.     Franchisee shall pay without offset, credit or deduction of any
nature, to Franchisor, so long as this Agreement shall be in effect, a weekly
Continuing Services and Royalty Fee equal to three percent (3%) of the Gross
Sales derived from the Franchised Business. Said Continuing Services and
Royalty Fee shall be paid weekly in the manner specified below or as otherwise
prescribed in the Confidential Operations Manual.

          1.     On or before each Wednesday, Franchisee will submit to
Franchisor on a form approved by Franchisor, a correct statement, signed by
Franshisee, of Franchisee's Gross Sales for the preceding week ending
Saturday. Franchisee will make available to Franchisor for reasonable
inspection during normal business hours and with or without prior notice by
Franchisor, all original books and records that Franchisee may deem necessary
to ascertain Franchisee's Gross Sales

          2.     The term "Gross Sales", as used herein and throughout this
Agreement, shall mean and include the total of all sales of all Trademarked
Product Lines, merchandise, products or services to customers of Franchisee,
(including interim deposits) whether or not sold or performed at or from the
EASYRIDERS Franchised Business, and whether received in cash, in services in
kind, from barter and/or exchange, on credit (whether or not payment is
received therefor) or otherwise. There will be deducted from Gross Sales for
purposes of said computation (but only to the extent they have been included)
the amount of all sales tax receipts or similar tax receipts which, by law,
are chargeable to customers, if such taxes are separately stated when the
customer is charged and if such taxes are paid to the appropriate taxing
authority. There will be further deducted from Gross Sales the amount of any
documented refunds, chargebacks, credits and allowances given in good faith to
customers by Franchisee. All barter and/or exchange transactions pursuant to
which Franchisee furnishes services and/or products in exchange for goods or
services to be provided to Franchisee by a vendor, supplier or customer will,
for the purpose of determining Gross Sales, be valued at the full retail value
of the goods and/or services to provided to Franchisee.

     B.     All Continuing Services and Royalty Fees, advertising
contributions, amounts due for purchases by Franchisee from Franchisor or its
affiliates shall bear interest after due date at the highest applicable legal
rate for open account business credit. Franchisee acknowledges that this
Paragraph shall not constitute agreement by Franchisor or its affiliates to
accept such payments after same are due or a commitment by Franchisor to
extend credit to, or otherwise finance Franchisee's operation of, the
Franchised Business.  Further, Franchisee acknowledges that its failure to pay
all amounts when due shall constitute grounds for termination of this
Agreement, as provided in Paragraph XVI. hereof, notwithstanding the
provisions of this Paragraph.

     C.     Notwithstanding any designation by Franchisee, Franchisor shall
have the sole discretion to apply any payments by Franchisee to any past due
indebtedness of Franchisee for Continuing Services and Royalty Fees,
advertising contributions, purchases from Franchisor or its affiliate,
interest or any other indebtedness. 

XI.     ACCOUNTING AND RECORDS

     A.     Franchisee shall establish and maintain a bookkeeping, accounting
and record keeping system conforming to the requirements prescribed by
Franchisor, including without limitation the use and retention of sales
tickets, purchase orders, invoices, payroll records, check stubs, sales tax
records and returns, cash receipts and disbursements, journals and general
ledgers. Franchisee shall preserve for a period of not less than three (3)
years, during the term of this Agreement and for not less than three (3) years
following the term of this Agreement, all accounting records and supporting
documentation relating to the Franchised Business.

     B.     Franchisee will supply to Franchisor on or before the fifteenth
(15th) day after the term of each calendar quarter, in the form approved by
Franchisor, a profit and loss statement and balance sheet for the last
preceding calendar quarter. Additionally, Franchisee shall, at its expense,
submit to Franchisor within ninety (90) days of the end of each fiscal year
during the term of this Agreement, a profit and loss statement for such fiscal
year and a balance sheet for the last date of such year. Such annual
statements shall be prepared and reviewed by an independent certified public
accountant, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a consistent basis. Franchisor reserves the right to require
Franchisee to submit audited financial statements.

     C.     Franchisee shall submit to Franchisor such other periodic reports,
forms and records as specified, and in the manner and at the time as specified
in the Confidential Operations Manual or otherwise in writing.

     D.     Franchisor or its designated agents shall have the right, during
normal business hours and with or without prior notice, to examine and copy,
at its expense, the books, records, and tax returns of Franchisee. Franchisor
shall also have the right at any time, to have an independent audit made of
the books of Franchisee. If an inspection should reveal that any payments to
Franchisor have  been understated in any report to Franchisor, then Franchisee
shall immediately pay to Franchisor the amount understated upon demand, in
addition to interest from the date such amount was due until paid, at the
maximum rate permitted by law. If an inspection discloses an understatement in
any report of two percent (2%) or more, Franchisee shall, in addition,
reimburse Franchisor for any and all costs and expenses connected with the
inspection (including, without limitation, reasonable accounting and
attorneys' fees). The foregoing remedies shall be in addition to any other
remedies Franchisor may have.

     E.     Franchisee acknowledges that nothing contained herein constitutes
Franchisor's agreement to accept any payments after same are due or a
commitment by Franchisor to extend credit to or otherwise finance Franchisee's
operation of the Franchised Business. Further, Franchisee acknowledges that
its failure to pay all amounts when due shall constitute grounds for
termination of this Agreement, as herein provided.

XII.     STANDARDS OF QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE

     A.     Franchisee shall comply with all requirements set forth in this
Agreement, the Confidential Operations Manual and other written policies
supplied to Franchisee by Franchisor. Mandatory specifications, standards,

appearance of the Franchised Premises or its equipment, fixtures, signs or
decor does not meet Franchisor's standards therefor, Franchisor shall so
notify Franchisee, specifying the action to be taken by Franchisee to correct
such deficiency. If Franchisee fails or refuses to initiate within thirty (30)

Franchised Business ("Approved Suppliers List") and a 1ist of approved
inventory products, fixtures,  furniture, equipment, signs, stationery,
supplies, and other items or services necessary to operate the Franchised
Business ("Approved Supplies List"). Franchisor may revise the Approved
Supplies List and Approved Suppliers List from time to time in its sole
discretion. If Franchisee proposes to offer for sale or use at the Franchised
Business any brand of product, or other material or supply which is not on the
Approved Supplies List or to purchase any product from a supplier that is not
on the Approved Suppliers List, Franchisee shall first notify Franchisor and
shall upon request by Franchisor submit samples and such other information as
Franchisor requires for examination and/or testing or to otherwise determine
whether such product, material or supply, or such proposed supplier meets its
specifications and quality standards. A charge not to exceed the reasonable
cost of the inspection and evaluation and the actual cost of the test may be
imposed by Franchisor and shall be paid by Franchisee or the supplier.
Franchisor reserves the right to re-inspect the businesses and products of any
supplier of an approved item and to revoke its approval of any item or
supplier which fails to continue to meet any of Franchisor's criteria.

     G.     All inventory, products and materials, and other items and
supplies used in the operation of the Franchised Business which are not

and problem solving methods, advising Franchisor on expenditures for regional

particular Council and as approved by Franchisor. Although Franchisee shall
pay such Council assessments, such assessments shall in no way diminish
Franchisee's rights and the benefit of the bargain under this Agreement. Such
Council(s) may be formed by Franchisor at such time that more than one (1)
franchisee conducts a EASYRIDERS Franchised Business in any given region, the
boundaries of such region to be determined in the sole and unfettered
discretion of Franchisor.

competitive inventory and products. Franchisee shall not be obligated to
accept any such advice or guidance and shall have the sole right to determine
the prices to be charged from time to lime by the Franchised Business and no
such advice or guidance shall be deemed or construed to impose upon Franchisee
any obligation to charge any fixed, minimum or maximum prices for any product

and during the term of this Agreement and any renewal period thereof,

XVIII.     TRANSFERABILITY OF INTEREST
    
     A.     This Agreement and all rights hereunder can be assigned and
transferred by Franchisor and, if so, shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Franchisor's successors and assigns; provided, however, that with
respect to any assignment resulting in the subsequent performance by the
assignee of the functions of Franchisor, the assignee shall;

          1.     At the time of such assignment, be financially responsible
and economically capable of performing the obligations of Franchisor
hereunder; and

          2.     Expressly assume and agree to perform such obligations. 
Specifically, and without limitation to the foregoing, Franchisee expressly
agrees that Franchisor may sell its assets, Marks or System outright to a
third party; may make a public offering of securities; may engage in a private
placement of some or all of its securities; may merge, acquire other
corporations or entities, or be acquired by another corporation or other
entity; may undertake a refinancing, recapitalization, leveraged buy out or
other economic or financial restructuring; and, with regard to any or all of
the above sales, assignments and dispositions, Franchisee expressly and
specifically waives any claims, demands or damages arising from or related to
the loss of said Marks (or any variation thereof) and/or the loss of
association with or identification of EASYRIDERS FRANCHISING, INC., as
Franchisor hereunder.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall require
Franchisor to remain in the business in the event that Franchisor exercises
its right hereunder to assign its rights in this Agreement.

     B.     This Agreement and all rights hereunder may be assigned and
transferred by Franchisee and, if so, shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Franchisee's successors and assigns, subject to the following
conditions and requirements, and Franchisor's right of first refusal as set
forth herein:

          1.     No Franchisee, partner of Franchisee, (if Franchisee is a
partnership), or shareholder of Franchisee (if Franchisee is a corporation),
without Franchisor's prior written consent, by operation of law or otherwise
shall sell, assign, transfer, convey, give away, or encumber to any person,
firm, or corporation, all or any part of its interest in this Agreement or its
interest in the franchise granted hereby or its interest in any
proprietorship, partnership or corporation which owns any interest in the
franchise, nor offer, permit, or suffer the same to be sold, assigned,
transferred, conveyed, given away, or encumbered in any way to any person,
firm, or corporation.  Franchisee may not, without the prior written consent
of Franchisor, fractionalize any of the rights of Franchisee granted pursuant
to this Agreement.  Any purported assignment of any of Franchisee's rights
herein not having the aforesaid consent shall be null and void and shall
constitute a material default hereunder.

          2.     Franchisor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any
transfer referenced in Paragraphs XVII.B.1 of this Agreement when requested;
provided, however, that the following conditions and requirements shall first
be met to the full satisfaction of Franchisor.

               a.     If Franchisee is an individual or partnership and
desires to assign and transfer its rights to a corporation:

                    (1)     Said transferee corporation shall be newly
organized and its charter shall provide that its activities are confined
exclusively to acting as a EASYRIDERS Franchisee as franchised under this
Agreement;

                    (2)     Franchisee shall be and shall remain the owner of
the majority stock interest of the transferee corporation;

                    (3)     The individual Franchisee (or, if Franchisee is a
partnership, one of the partners) shall be and shall remain the principal
executive officer of the corporation;

                    (4)     The transferee corporation shall enter into a
written assignment (in a form satisfactory to Franchisor), in which the
transferee corporation assumes all of Franchisee's obligations hereunder;

                    (5)     All shareholders of the transferee corporation
shall enter into a written agreement, in a form satisfactory to Franchisor,
jointly and severally guaranteeing the full payment and performance of the
transferee corporation's obligations to Franchisor under this Agreement;

                    (6)     Each stock certificate of the transferee
corporation shall have conspicuously endorsed upon it a statement that it is
held subject to, and that further assignment or transfer thereof is subject
to, all restrictions imposed upon assignments by this Agreement;

                    (7)     No new shares of common or preferred voting stock
in the transferee corporation shall be issued to any person, partnership,
trust, foundation, or corporation without obtaining Franchisor's prior written
consent and then only upon disclosure of the terms and conditions contained
herein being made to the prospective new holders of the stock;

                    (8)     All accrued money obligations of Franchisee to
Franchisee's suppliers, Franchisor, its affiliates or assignees, shall be
satisfied prior to assignment or transfer.

               b.     If the transfer, other than such transfer as is
authorized under Paragraph XVIII.B.2.a. of this Agreement, if consummated
alone or together with other related previous, simultaneous, or proposed
transfers, would have the effect of transferring control of the franchise
licensed herein to someone other than an original signatory of this Agreement;

                    (1)     The transferee(s) shall be of good moral character
and reputation and shall have a good credit rating and competent business
qualifications reasonably acceptable to Franchisor.  Franchisee shall provide
Franchisor with such information as Franchisor may require to make such
determination concerning each such proposed transferee(s).

                    (2)     The transferee(s) or such other individual(s) as
shall be the actual manager of the franchise shall have successfully completed
and passed the training course then in effect for franchisees, or otherwise
demonstrated to Franchisor's satisfaction, sufficient ability to operate the
unit being transferred.

                    (3)     The transferee(s), including all shareholders,
officers, directors and partners of the transferee(s), shall jointly and
severally execute any or all of the following, at Franchisor's sole discretion

                         aa.     A Franchise Agreement and other standard
ancillary agreements with Franchisor on the current standard forms being used
by Franchisor, except that an additional franchise fee shall not be charged;
and/or

                         bb.     A written assignment from Franchisee in a
form satisfactory to Franchisor, wherein transferee shall assume all of
Franchisee's obligations hereunder.

                    (4)     Approval by Franchisor of any transfer by
Franchisee of the franchise herein granted or any of Franchisee's rights under
this Agreement shall in no way be deemed a release by Franchisor of
Franchisee's obligations pursuant to this Agreement . Consent by Franchisor to
a transfer of the franchise shall not constitute or be interpreted as consent
for any future transfer thereof.

                    (5)     The term of said agreements required pursuant to
Paragraph XVII.B.2.(3) shall be for the unexpired term of this Agreement and
for any extensions or renewals as provided herein.

                    (6)     If transferee is a corporation:

                         aa.     Each stock certificate of the transferee

stock; and

                         cc.     All shareholders of the transferee
corporation shall enter into a written agreement, in a form satisfactory to
Franchisor, jointly and severally guaranteeing full payment and the
performance of the transferee corporation of all obligations under this
Agreement.

                    (7)     All accrued money obligations of Franchisee to
Franchisee's suppliers, Franchisor, its affiliates or assignees, shall be
satisfied prior to assignment or transfer, and Franchisee shall not be in

                    (8)     Franchisee, prior to the transfer, shall execute a
general release, in a form prescribed by Franchisor, of any and all existing
claims against Franchisor and its affiliates, if any, and their respective

permitted to be waived under applicable law.

          3.     Franchisee shall have fully paid and satisfied all of
Franchisee's obligations to Franchisor, and the transferee or Franchisee shall
have fully paid to Franchisor a non-refundable transfer fee equal to one-half
(1/2) the then-current initial franchise fee charged by Franchisor, for start-
up franchises, at the time of the transfer, for the training, supervision,
administrative costs, overhead, counsel fees, accounting and other expenses
incurred by Franchisor in connection with the transfer.  This transfer fee
does not apply to an assignment of interest to a corporation under Paragraph
XVIII.B.2.a of this Agreement.

          4.     No sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, encumbrance, or
gift of any interest in this Agreement or in the franchise granted thereby,
shall relieve Franchisee and the shareholders or partners participating in any
transfer, of the obligations of the covenants contained in Paragraph XV.,
except where Franchisor shall expressly authorize in writing.

     C.     Franchisee must give Franchisor ninety (90) days written notice
prior to any sale or assignment by Franchisee.  The purpose of this Paragraph
is to enable Franchisor to comply with any applicable state or federal
franchise disclosure laws.

     D.     Franchisee must promptly ("promptly" herein defined as within
fifteen (15) days of receipt of an offer to buy) give Franchisor written
notice whenever Franchisee has received an offer to buy Franchisee's
franchise.  Franchisee must also give Franchisor written notice simultaneously
with any offer to sell the franchise made by, for, or on behalf of Franchisee. 
The purpose of this Paragraph is to enable Franchisor to comply with any
applicable state or federal franchise disclosure laws or rules.

     E.     Franchisee shall not, without prior written consent of Franchisor,
place in, on or upon the location of the Franchised Business, or in any
communication media, any form of advertising relating to the sale of the
Franchised Business or the rights granted hereunder.

XIX.     DEATH OR INCAPACITY OF FRANCHISEE

     A.     In the event of the death or incapacity of an individual
Franchisee, or any partner of a Franchisee which is a partnership or any
shareholder owning fifty percent (50%) of more of the capital stock of a
Franchisee which is a corporation, the heirs, beneficiaries, devisees, or
legal representatives of said individual, partner or shareholders shall,
within one hundred eighty (180) days of such event:

          1.     Apply to Franchisor for the right to continue to operate the
franchise for the duration of the term of this Agreement and any renewals
hereof, which right shall be granted upon the fulfillment of all of the
conditions set forth in Paragraph XVII.B.2.b of this Agreement (except that no
transfer fee shall be required); or

          2.     Sell, assign, transfer, or convey Franchisee's interest in
compliance with the provisions of Paragraphs XVIII.B. and XX. of this
Agreement; provided, however, in the event a proper and timely application for
the right to continue to operate has been made and rejected, the one hundred
eighty (180) days to sell, assign, transfer or convey shall be computed from
the date of said rejection.  For purposes of this Paragraph, Franchisor's
silence on an application through the one hundred and eighty (180) days
following the event of death or incapacity shall be deemed a rejection made on
the last day of such period.

     B.     In the event of the death or incapacity of an individual
Franchisee, or any partner or shareholder of a Franchisee which is a
partnership or corporation, where the aforesaid provisions of Paragraph XVIII
have not been fulfilled within the time provided, all rights franchised to
Franchisee under this Agreement shall, at the option of Franchisor, terminate
forthwith and Franchisor shall have the option to purchase the assets of
Franchised Business in accordance with Paragraph XVII.J. of this Agreement.

XX.     RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
       
     If Franchisee or its owners propose to sell the Franchised Business (or
its assets) or part or all of the ownership of Franchisee, Franchisee or its
owners shall obtain and deliver a bona fide, executed written offer to
purchase same to Franchisor, which shall, for a period of fifteen (15) days
from the date of delivery of such offer, have the right, exercisable by
written notice to Franchisee or its owners, to purchase the Franchised
Business (or its assets) or such ownership for the price and on the terms and
conditions contained in such offer, provided that Franchisor may substitute
cash for any form of payment proposed in such offer.  If Franchisor does not
exercise this right of first refusal, the offer may be accepted by Franchisee
or its owners, subject to the prior written approval of Franchisor, as
provided in Paragraph XVIII hereof, provided that if such offer is not so
accepted within six (6) months of the date thereof,  Franchisor shall again
have the right of first refusal herein described.  Should a transfer
Franchisee assume the rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
transferee Franchisee shall likewise by subject to Franchisor's right of first
refusal under terms and conditions as set forth herein.

XXI.     OPERATION IN THE EVENT OF ABSENCE, DISABILITY OR DEATH

     In order to prevent any interruption of the Franchised Business which
would cause harm to said business and thereby depreciate the value thereof,
Franchisee authorizes Franchisor, in the event that Franchisee is absent or
incapacitated by reason of illness or death and is not, therefore, in the sole
judgement of Franchisor, able to operate the Franchised Business, to operate
said business for so long as Franchisor deems necessary and practical, and
without waiver of any other rights or remedies Franchisor may have under this
Agreement.  Nothing contained herein shall create an obligation on the part of
Franchisor, nor shall Franchisor's operation of the Franchised Business create
an obligation on the part of Franchisor to so operate the Franchised Business. 
All monies from the operation of the business during such period of operation
by Franchisor shall be kept in a separate account and the expenses of the
business, including reasonable compensation and expenses for Franchisor's
representative, shall be charged to said account.

XXII.     INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AND INDEMNIFICATION

     A.     This Agreement does not create a fiduciary relationship between
the parties, nor does it constitute Franchisee as an agent, legal
representative, joint venturer, partner, employee, or servant of Franchisor
for any purpose whatsoever; and it is understood between the parties hereto
that Franchisee shall be an independent contractor and is in no way authorized
to make any contract, agreement, warranty or representation on behalf of
Franchisor, or to create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of
Franchisor.

     B.     During the term of this Agreement and any extension hereof,
Franchisee shall hold itself out to the public as an independent contractor
operating the business pursuant to a franchise from Franchisor.  Franchisee
shall take such affirmative action as may be necessary to do so, including,
without limitation, exhibiting a notice of that fact in a conspicuous place on
the Franchised Premises, the content of which Franchisor reserves the right to
specify.

     C.     Franchisee shall defend at his own cost and indemnify and hold
harmless Franchisor, its affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers,
employees and agents, from and against any and all claims demands, losses,
costs, legal actions, judgements, awards, expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable accountants', attorneys', and expert witness fees,
costs of investigation and proof of facts, court costs, other litigation
expenses and travel and living expenses), damages and liabilities, however,
caused, resulting directly or indirectly from or pertaining to the use,
condition, or construction, equipping, decorating, maintenance or operation of
the Franchised Business, including the sale of any products, service or
merchandise sold from the Franchised Business.  Such loss, claims, costs,
expenses, damages and liabilities shall include, without limitation, those
arising from latent or other defects in the Franchised Business, whether or
not discoverable by Franchisor, and those arising from the death or injury to
any person or arising from damage to the property of Franchisee or Franchisor,
their agents or employees, or any third person, firm or corporation, whether
or not such losses, claims, costs, expenses, damages, or liabilities were
actually or allegedly caused wholly or in part through the active or passive
negligence of Franchisor or any of its agents or employees or resulted from
any strict liability imposed on Franchisor or any of its agents or employees. 
All such indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     D.     Franchisor shall not, by virtue of any approvals, advice or
services provided to Franchisee, assume responsibility or liability to
Franchisee or any third parties to which Franchisor would not otherwise be
subject.

XXIII.     NON-WAIVER

     No failure of Franchisor to exercise any power reserved to it hereunder,
or to insist upon strict compliance by Franchisee with any obligation or
condition hereunder, and no custom or practice of the parties in variance with
the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of Franchisor's right to demand
exact compliance with the terms hereof.  Waiver by Franchisor of any
particular default by Franchisee shall not be binding unless in writing and
executed by the party sought to be charged and shall not affect or impair
Franchisor's right with respect to any subsequent default of the same or of a
different nature; nor shall any delay, waiver, forbearance, or omission of
Franchisor to exercise any power or rights arising out of any breach or
default by Franchisee of any of the terms, provisions, or covenants hereof,
affect or impair Franchisor's rights nor shall such constitute a waiver by
Franchisor of any right hereunder of the right to declare any subsequent
breach or default.  Subsequent acceptance by Franchisor of any payment(s) due
to it hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Franchisor of any
preceding breach by Franchisee of any terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement.

XXIV.     NOTICE

     Any and all notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be
in writing and shall be personally delivered or mailed by certified mail,
return receipt requested, to the respective parties at the following addresses

XXV.     COST OF ENFORCEMENT OR DEFENSE

     In the event that either party to this Agreement is required to employ
legal counsel or to incur other expenses to enforce any obligation of the
second party hereunder, or to defend against any claim, demand, action, or
proceeding by reason of the second party's failure to perform any obligation
imposed upon the second party by this Agreement, and provided that legal
action is filed and such action or the settlement thereof establishes the
second party's default hereunder, then the first party shall be entitled to
recover from the second party the amount of all reasonable attorney's fees of
such counsel and all other expenses incurred in enforcing such obligation or
in defending against such claim, demand, action or proceeding, whether
incurred prior to, or in preparation for, or in contemplation of the filing of
such action or thereafter.  Nothing contained in this Paragraph shall relate
to arbitration proceedings pursuant to this Agreement.

XXVI.     ENTIRE AGREEMENT

     This Agreement, and Exhibit attached hereto, and the documents referred
to herein, shall be construed together and constitute the entire, full and
complete agreement between Franchisor and Franchisee concerning the subject
matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements.  No other representation
has induced Franchisee to execute this Agreement, and there are no
representations, inducements, promises, or agreements, oral or otherwise,
between the parties not embodied herein, which are of any force or effect with
reference to this Agreement or otherwise.  No amendment, change or variance
from this Agreement shall be binding on either party unless executed in
writing by both parties.

XXVII.     SEVERABILITY AND CONSTRUCTION

     A.     Each Paragraph, part, term and/or provision of this Agreement
shall be considered severable, and if, for any reason, any Paragraph, part,
term and/or provision herein is determined to be invalid and contrary to, or
in conflict with, any existing or future law or regulation, such shall not
impair the operation of or affect the remaining portions, sections, parts,
terms and/or provisions of this Agreement, and the latter will continue to be
given full force and effect and bind the parties hereto; and said invalid
sections, parts, terms and/or provisions shall be deemed not part of this
Agreement.

     B.     Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, nothing in this
Agreement is intended, nor shall be deemed, to confer upon any person or legal
entity other than Franchisor or Franchisee and such of their respective
successors and assigns as may be contemplated by this Agreement, any rights or
remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

     C.     Franchisee shall be bound by an promise or covenant imposing the
maximum duty permitted by law which is contained within the terms of any
provision hereof, as though it were separately stated in and made a part of
this Agreement, that may result from striking from any of the provisions
hereof any portion or portions which a court may hold to be unreasonable and
unenforceable in a final decision to which Franchisor is a party, or from
reducing the scope of any promise or covenant to the extent required to comply
with such a court order.

     D.     All captions herein are intended solely for the convenience of the
parties, and none shall be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any
provision hereof.

     E.     This Agreement may be executed in triplicate, and each copy so
executed shall be deemed an original.

     F.     The recitals set forth in this Agreement are specifically
incorporated into the terms of this Agreement and hereby constitute a part
thereof.

XXVIII.     APPLICABLE LAW

     A.     THIS AGREEMENT TAKES EFFECT UPON ITS ACCEPTANCE AND EXECUTION BY
FRANCHISOR IN CALIFORNIA; AND SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE
LAWS THEREOF, WHICH LAWS SHALL PREVAIL IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT OF LAW,
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT GOVERNED BY THE UNITED STATES TRADEMARK ACT OF 1946
(LANHAM ACT, 15, U.S.C. SECTIONS 1051 ET SEQ), THE UNITED STATES COPYRIGHT ACT
OF 1976, AS AMENDED, AND THE UNITED STATES PATENT ACT OF 1952, AS AMENDED.

     B.     FRANCHISEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS ENTERED INTO IN LOS
ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA AND THAT ANY ACTION SOUGHT TO BE BROUGHT BY EITHER
PARTY, EXCEPT THOSE CLAIMS REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION SHALL BE
BROUGHT IN THE APPROPRIATE STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN CALIFORNIA WITH
JURISDICTION OVER THE MATTER, AND THE PARTIES DO HEREBY WAIVE ALL QUESTIONS OF
PERSONAL JURISDICTION OR VENUE FOR THE PURPOSES OF CARRYING OUT THIS
PROVISION.

     C.     NO RIGHT OR REMEDY CONFERRED UPON OR RESERVED TO FRANCHISOR OR
FRANCHISEE BY THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO BE, NOR SHALL BE DEEMED, EXCLUSIVE
OF ANY OTHER RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREIN OR BY LAW OR EQUITY PROVIDED OR PERMITTED,
BUT EACH SHALL BE CUMULATIVE OF EVERY OTHER RIGHT OR REMEDY.

     D.     NOTHING HEREIN CONTAINED SHALL BAR FRANCHISOR'S RIGHT TO OBTAIN
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AGAINST THREATENED CONDUCT THAT WILL CAUSE IT LOSS OR
DAMAGES, UNDER THE USUAL EQUITY RULES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABLE RULES FOR
OBTAINING RESTRAINING ORDERS AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTIONS.

XXIX.     ARBITRATION

     A.     Any monetary claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
or any breach thereof, and any controversy regarding the establishment of the
fair market value of leasehold improvements and other Franchised Business
assets pursuant to Paragraph XVII.J. hereof, shall be submitted to arbitration
in Los Angeles County, California, in accordance with the rules of the
American Arbitration Association and judgement upon the award may be entered
in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall,
however, be construed to limit or to preclude Franchisor from bringing any
action in any court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive or other
provisional relief as Franchisor deems to be necessary or appropriate to
compel Franchisee to comply with his obligations hereunder or to protect the
Marks or other property rights of Franchisor.  In addition, nothing contained
herein shall be construed to limit or to preclude Franchisor from joining with
any action for injunctive or provisional relief all monetary claims that
Franchisor may have against Franchisee which arise out of the acts or
omissions to act giving rise to the action for injunctive or provisional
relief.  This arbitration provision shall be deemed to be self-executing and
in the event that Franchisee fails to appear any properly noticed arbitration
proceeding, award may be entered against Franchisee notwithstanding his
failure to appear.

     B.     Nothing herein contained shall bar the right of either party to
seek and obtain temporary injunctive relief from a court of competent
jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law against threatened conduct that
will cause loss or damage, pending completion of the arbitration.

     C.     It is the intent of the parties that any arbitration between
Franchisor and Franchisee shall be of Franchisee's individual claim and that
the claim subject to arbitration shall not be arbitrated on a classwide basis.

XXX.     "FRANCHISEE" DEFINED AND GUARANTY

     As used in this Agreement, the term "Franchisee" shall include all
persons who succeed to the interest of the original Franchisee by permitted
transfer or operation of law and shall be deemed to include not only the
individual or entity defined as "Franchisee" in the introductory paragraph of
this Agreement but shall also include all partners of the entity that executes
this Agreement, in the event said entity is a partnership, and all
shareholders, officers and directors of the entity that executes this
Agreement, in the event said entity is a corporation.  By the signatures
hereto, all partners, shareholders, officers and directors of the entity that
signs this Agreement as Franchisee acknowledges and accepts the duties and
obligations imposed upon each of them, individually, by the terms of this
Agreement.  All partners of the entity that executes this Agreement, in the
event said entity is a partnership and all shareholders, officers and
directors of the entity that executed this Agreement, in the event said entity
is a corporation, shall execute the Guaranty and Assumption of Obligations
attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof.

XXI.     FORCE MAJEURE

     Whenever a period of time is provided in this Agreement for either party
to do or perform any act or thing, except the payment of monies, neither party
shall be liable or responsible for any delays due to strikes, lockouts,
casualties, acts of God, war, governmental regulation or control or other
causes beyond the reasonable control of the parties, and in any event said
time period for the performance of an obligation hereunder shall be extended
for the amount of time of the delay.  This clause shall not apply or not
result in an extension of the term of this Agreement.

XXXII.     CAVEAT

     The success of the business venture contemplated to be undertaken by
Franchisee by virtue of this Agreement is speculative and depends, to a large
extent, upon the ability of Franchisee as an independent businessman, and his
active participation in the daily affairs of the business as well as other
factors.  Franchisor does not make any representation or warranty express or
implied as to the potential success of the business venture contemplated
hereby.

XXXIII.     ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

     A.     Franchisee represents and acknowledges that it has received, read
and understood this Agreement and Franchisor's Uniform Franchise Offering
Circular; and that Franchisor has fully and adequately explained the
provisions of each to Franchisee's satisfaction; and that Franchisor has
accorded Franchisee ample time and opportunity to consult with advisors of its
own choosing about the potential benefits and risks of entering into this
Agreement.

     B.     Franchisee acknowledges that it has received a copy of this
Agreement and the attachments thereto, at least five (5) business days prior
to the date on which this Agreement was executed.  Franchisee further
acknowledges that Franchisee has received the disclosure document required by
the Trade Regulation Rule of the Federal Trade Commission entitled Disclosure
Requirements and Prohibitions Concerning Franchising and Business Opportunity
Ventures, at least (10) business days prior to the date on which this
Agreement was executed.

     C.     Franchisee has been advised to consult with its own advisors with
respect to the legal, financial and other aspect of this Agreement, the
business franchised hereby, and the prospects for that business.  Franchisee
has either consulted with such advisors or has deliberately declined to do so.

     D.     The covenants not to compete set forth in this Agreement are fair
and reasonable and will not impose any undue hardship on Franchisee, since
Franchisee has other considerable skills, experience and education which
afford Franchisee the opportunity to derive income from other endeavors.

     E.     Franchisee affirms that all information set forth in any and all
applications, financial statements and submissions to Franchisor is true,
complete and accurate in all respects, with Franchisee expressly acknowledging
that Franchisor is relying upon the truthfulness, completeness and accuracy of
such information.

     F.     Franchisee has conducted an independent investigation of the
business contemplated by this Agreement and recognizes that, like any other
business, an investment in a EASYRIDERS Franchised Business involves business
risks and that the success of the venture is primarily dependent upon the
business abilities and efforts of Franchisee.

     G.     Franchisee hereby consents and agrees that any disputes arising
between Franchisor and Franchisee be submitted to arbitration as provided in
Paragraph XXIX.A. of this Agreement.

     H.     FRANCHISEE UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL REPRESENTATIONS
OF FACT CONTAINED HEREIN ARE MADE SOLELY BY FRANCHISOR.  ALL DOCUMENTS,
INCLUDING FRANCHISOR'S FRANCHISE AGREEMENT AND UNIFORM FRANCHISE OFFERING
CIRCULAR AND ALL EXHIBITS THERETO, HAVE BEEN PREPARED SOLELY IN RELIANCE UPON
REPRESENTATIONS MADE AND INFORMATION PROVIDED BY FRANCHISOR, ITS OFFICERS AND
DIRECTORS.  FRANCHISEE FURTHER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE
PREPARER OF ANY AND ALL SUCH FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS, OFFERING CIRCULARS AND
EXHIBITS THERETO FROM ANY AND ALL LOSS, COSTS, EXPENSES, (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS'
FEES), DAMAGES AND LIABILITIES RESULTING FROM ANY REPRESENTATIONS AND/OR
CLAIMS MADE BY FRANCHISOR IN SUCH DOCUMENTS.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound

cancellation within fifteen (15) days of Franchisor's receipt of the above

Franchisee and Franchisor shall be fully and forever released from any claims
or causes of action the Franchisee may have under or pursuant to the Franchise
Agreement.
