2. Manufacture and Supply of Product.

         2.1 Supply Requirements. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, during the Term, Supplier shall: (a) manufacture and supply
Product in such quantities as may be required by each Distributor and/or member
of Buyer's System to enable each of them to meet the Product requirements and
inventory needs of Buyer's System; and (b) manufacture and supply Product in
such quantities as may be required by each Distributor to maintain an adequate
level of Product inventory as provided in this Agreement.

         2.2 Exclusivity. So long as Supplier timely supplies Product in
accordance with the required recipes, formulas, processes, Operating Standards
and Product specifications, and in the quantities required by each Distributor
and Buyer, Buyer shall purchase from Supplier (through its Distributors) one
hundred percent (100%) of its Product requirements for Buyer's bakery-cafe
outlets in the continental United States for all Product which is not
manufactured by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer, and Buyer shall use its
reasonable best efforts, subject to applicable law, to direct the bakery-cafe
outlets that are a part of Buyer's System to purchase from Supplier (through its
Distributors) one hundred percent (100%) of their Product requirements for all
Product which is not manufactured by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer.

         2.3 Specifications and Packaging. Supplier shall manufacture Product in
accordance with Buyer's recipes, formulas, and Product specifications as set
forth in the current Bills of Materials, Operating Standards and other documents
listed on Schedule 2.3, as such requirements may be modified by Buyer upon
reasonable prior notice from time to time during the Term in accordance with
Section 4. Product shall be packaged in the manner prescribed by the
Distributors and Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Supplier shall be entitled to alter any Operating Standards if such an
alteration is required to comply with good manufacturing practices as set forth
in the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (Current
Good Manufacturing Practices in Manufacturing, Packing, or Holding Human Food,
21 C.F.R 110 (1997)), as such regulations may be amended from time to time,
including, without limitation, alterations to prevent microbial contamination.
Supplier shall provide Buyer prompt notice of any alteration, which shall be
prior notice to the extent practicable.

         2.4 Supplier's Purchasing Duties; Vendors.

             (a) Supplier shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist
Buyer in obtaining the most favorable available prices for raw materials and
packaging, including without limitation, flour and butter.

                                     - 7 -                       EXECUTION COPY


<PAGE>

Buyer shall have the right to approve all Vendors. To the extent that raw
materials and packaging are purchased by Supplier from Vendors approved by
Buyer, the cost of such raw materials and packaging shall not constitute a
failure to satisfy Supplier's obligations under this Section 2.4 Anything to the
contrary herein notwithstanding, Supplier shall not change any Vendors without
the prior consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Grounds for Supplier to propose terminating a Vendor shall include, but not be
limited to, the failure of such Vendor to supply sufficient quantities of any
item purchased by Supplier from the Vendor on a timely basis and/or according to
required specifications. Supplier shall not enter into any formal or informal
arrangement or understanding with any Vendor (regardless of whether such Vendor
is an Affiliate of Supplier) by which Supplier receives, directly or indirectly,
any rebate, discount or other consideration, unless such arrangement or
understanding is fully disclosed to Buyer and the value of such rebate, discount
or other consideration is applied to reduce Product Direct Costs pursuant to
this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, Supplier shall be permitted to
retain (but with prior disclosure to Buyer): (1) standard discounts offered by
Vendors generally to their customers for early payment of up to two percent
(2%); and (2) rebates offered to Supplier by Vendors for the year-over-year
growth in volume of purchases by Supplier (on a company-wide basis, i.e., for
all of Supplier's customers, including Buyer), such rebates not to exceed two
percent (2%) of such aggregated dollar growth.

             (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the cost for
flour and/or butter shall be determined either: (1) as selected by Buyer from
time to time after consultation with and advice from Supplier from available
contracts for flour and butter for such period of time; or (2) using the
methodology selected by Buyer for purchasing flour and/or butter for a period of
time determined by Buyer (for example, but without limitation, through purchases
on the spot markets).

         2.5 Payment. Supplier shall invoice each Distributor for Product on
payment terms that Supplier establishes for each Distributor which are stated on
each invoice and communicated in advance to Distributor and which do not affect
the determination and adjustment of the Invoice Price (as defined below).
Supplier shall notify and consult with Buyer immediately if, at any time, it
gives consideration to or contemplates changing the payment terms for any
Distributor, and Supplier shall further provide Buyer with a copy of any
communication or correspondence to any Distributor which could lead to a change
in payment terms consistent with Supplier's credit policies and procedures.
Supplier shall provide Buyer with a copy of each invoice (or an invoice register
in such form as Buyer may approve in advance) at the time it provides such
invoice to a Distributor. Title to Product and risk of loss shall pass to a
Distributor or Independent Operator (as defined in Section 7.3), as the case may
be, when Product is physically received by such Distributor or Independent
Operator.

         2.6 Inventory Management.

             (a) Supplier shall work with each Distributor to assure that
adequate levels of inventory are maintained at each Distributor's warehouses as
specified by Distributor and/or Buyer from time to time during the Term. In
connection with the foregoing, Supplier shall take all action that may be
necessary to avoid foreseen inventory shortages (for example, shipping
additional Product by air express freight when Supplier ships fewer Cases of
Product than were ordered by a Distributor). Any additional cost or expense in
connection with such required actions shall be borne by the party substantially
responsible for such foreseen shortage. Regardless of whether the party
substantially responsible for such foreseen shortage has been finally
determined, Supplier shall not delay, postpone or fail to take any such required
action pending a determination of responsibility.

             (b) Buyer shall require each Distributor to meet at least the
following standards with respect to lead times, order minimums and change
orders. Each order from a Distributor, (which shall consist of one or more full
truckloads, except in the case of shipments to distribution centers where LTL
shipments are permitted by this Agreement) shall be manufactured, shipped and
received at the applicable

                                     - 8 -                       EXECUTION COPY


<PAGE>

distribution center within fourteen (14) days from the date that such order was
received by Supplier. In addition, Supplier shall not be required to process
change orders: (1) otherwise required hereunder if the practical effect of such
change orders would result in the circumvention of the normal lead time
standards established hereunder and Supplier promptly notifies Buyer of the
circumstances surrounding such change orders; or (2) received from a Distributor
upon less than seven (7) days notice; provided, however, that Supplier shall use
its commercially reasonable best efforts, consistent with its production
schedules and plant capacities, to accommodate change orders received with less
than seven (7) days notice. Supplier shall also meet the standards of each
Distributor as set forth on Schedule 2.6, or as otherwise reasonably agreed-to
between Distributor and Supplier, relating to: (1) Product shelf-life; (2)
outside packaging and labeling; (3) hold harmless agreements; and (4) insurance,
additional insureds and the provision of certificates of insurance.


3. Pricing and Periodic Updates, Reconciliation and Adjustments.

         3.1 Invoice Price Per Case.

             (a) Supplier will charge each Distributor an Invoice Price per Case
of Product as follows. The Invoice Price for Product shipped pursuant to this
Agreement shall be invoiced by Product Code, and shall be expressed in dollars
per Case. The "Invoice Price" for each Case of Product shipped to each
Distributor shall equal, for each Product Code, the sum of the FOB Plant Billing
Price Per Case plus the Billing Freight Allowance. As used herein, the "FOB
Plant Billing Price Per Case" for each Product Code, shall mean such amount as
may be fixed by Buyer from time to time during the Term. Buyer may adjust the
FOB Plant Billing Price Per Case from time to time in its discretion upon not
less than thirty (30) days prior notice to Supplier. Supplier shall include the
Billing Freight Allowance invoiced to each Distributor as a separate line item
on each Invoice.

             (b) The Invoice Price, the cost updates for each Reporting Period,
the cost reconciliation's for each Quarter and the annual cost adjustments shall
be determined in the manner as set forth in this Section 3 consistent with the
Weekly Reconciliation Report and the Quarterly Reconciliation Report outline
accompanying each of the Weekly Reconciliation Report and Quarterly
Reconciliation Report spreadsheets referred to in Section 3.2; provided,
however, that in the event of any inconsistency between such calculation and
computation outlines and spreadsheets and any Section of this Agreement, the
text in such Section shall at all times control. All requests for credit from
Buyer's System for failure to meet Product specifications shall be processed
directly through Supplier. Buyer and Supplier shall mutually agree upon
reasonable administrative procedures for processing of any credit requests.

         3.2 Periodic Updates, Reconciliation and Adjustments.

             (a) The final cost of Product delivered to each Distributor for
distribution to Buyer's System shall be determined by reference to the Product
Cost Formula, as defined in Section 3.2.1, using data obtained from updates
which shall be posted regularly to the Bill of Materials costing system (using
Buyer's FMS (Food Management System) computer software, or any substitute or
replacement software program designated from time to time by Buyer). Buyer shall
provide Supplier with its FMS computer software or such other software that
Buyer requires Supplier to utilize, and shall also provide training in its use
to the appropriate employees of Supplier at no cost to Supplier. Such updates
and final cost of Product shall be determined at the times and in the manner
described below:

                    (1) Weekly. At the end of each Reporting Period, material
costs for ingredients and packaging and, if applicable, fuel surcharges for
trucking expenses between Approved Plants, shall be updated and computed in the
Product Cost Formula to determine the net difference for the week then-ended
between

                                     - 9 -                       EXECUTION COPY


<PAGE>

the Invoice Prices and the Product Costs determined by the Product Cost Formula,
all as specified in greater detail in Section 3.2.2.

                    (2) Quarterly. At the end of each Quarter, the Product Cost
Formula and the methodology described in Schedule "A" for computing Allocated
Fixed Overhead and Allocated Inventory Carrying Costs shall be used to process
updates for and reconcile the difference in the Product Cost Formula, for the
Quarter then-ended, between: (i) stipulated and allocated costs for certain
elements of Allocated Variable Overhead; (ii) stipulated and Allocated Inventory
Carrying Costs, (iii) the Billing Freight Allowance and the Allocated Freight
Allowance; and (iv) stipulated and allocated costs for the fixed depreciation
component of Allocated Fixed Overhead;, all as specified in greater detail in
Section 3.2.3.

                    (3) Annually. At the end of each contract year, the Product
Cost Formula shall be used to process updates for and reconcile the difference
in the Product Cost Formula, for the year then-ended, between certain elements
of the Allocated Variable Overhead. In addition, annual adjustments for certain
elements of the Allocated Variable Overhead, Direct Labor Costs, the Allocated
G&A and tax and license fee components of the Allocated Fixed Overhead shall be
posted to the cost components of the Bill of Materials costing system for the
next succeeding contract year. Each annual update and reconciliation shall be
made as specified in greater detail in Section 3.2.4 and Section 3.2.5.

             (b) Each cost update and reconciliation coming due following each
Reporting Period in accordance with this Section 3.2 shall be reported by
Supplier in a summary report (the "Weekly Reconciliation Report") substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2A delivered to Buyer within ten (10)
business days after the end of each such Reporting Period; except in the case of
a Reporting Period ending at the end of each Quarter, in which case the Weekly
Reconciliation Report for such Reporting Period, together with a separate
quarterly summary report (the "Quarterly Reconciliation Report") substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2B, shall be delivered to Buyer within
twenty (20) business days after the end of each such Reporting Period. Supplier
shall also provide to Buyer each Reporting Period, for each Product Code, the
Bill of Materials and such other supporting documentation as may reasonably be
requested by Buyer to audit and verify the computation of the net adjustment due
to or from Supplier.

         3.2.1 Definitions. The "Product Cost Formula" shall mean, for each
Product Code, the formula for determining the delivered cost for each unit of
Product in connection with each weekly, quarterly and annual reconciliation
specified in Section 3.2.2, Section 3.2.3 and Section 3.2.4, expressed when
computed as the Product Cost per unit. The "Product Cost" per unit shall equal
the sum of:

                          (1)          the Product Direct Costs; plus

                          (2)          the Allocated Variable Overhead for such
                                       Product Code as set forth on Schedule
                                       "B"; plus

                          (3)          the Allocated Inventory Carrying Costs
                                       for such Product Code; plus

                          (4)          the Allocated Profit for such Product
                                       Code as set forth on Schedule "C"; plus.

                          (5)          the result obtained by dividing the
                                       Billing Freight Allowance by the number
                                       of standard units of Product in a Case.


                                     - 10 -                      EXECUTION COPY


<PAGE>

         3.2.2 Weekly Updates to Product Cost Formula and Reconciliation.

               (a) Material costs of Product ingredients and packaging shall be
updated weekly. At the end of each Reporting Period, the Product Cost Formula
for each Product Code shall be updated with the most recent actual delivered
material costs (or weighted average costs, if available) for Product ingredients
and packaging incurred by Supplier for the week then ended and the Product Cost
Formula shall be recomputed. In addition, in the event that Supplier's trucking
expenses between Approved Plants become subject to fuel surcharges, the actual
amount of such surcharges paid by Supplier shall constitute an adjustment to the
trucking expense element of Allocated Variable Overhead for the Reporting Period
in which such surcharges were paid.

              (b) The net aggregate difference, for each Product Code, between
the Invoice Price per Case minus the sum of: (i) the Product Cost per Case,
multiplied by the number of Cases shipped during such week; plus (ii) the
Allocated Fixed Overhead, shall be paid (if a positive number) or invoiced (if a
negative number) to Buyer by Supplier within ten (10) business days after the
end of each Reporting Period. Any invoice to Buyer shall be paid within ten (10)
business days after receiving such invoice.

         3.2.3 Quarterly Updates to Product Cost Formula, Allocated Variable
               Overhead, and Allocated Fixed Overhead, and Reconciliation.

               (a) The following components of the Product Cost Formula and
Allocated Fixed Overhead shall be updated and reconciled at the end of each
Quarter for the Product Cost Formula during the next succeeding Quarter as set
forth in this Section 3.2.3: (i) certain elements of Allocated Variable Overhead
in Section 3.2.3(b), (ii) Allocated Inventory Carrying Costs reconciled in
Section 3.2.3(c), (iii) Billing Freight Allowance in Section 3.2.3(d), and (iv)
the fixed depreciation component of Allocated Fixed Overhead in Section
3.2.3(e),. The net total amount computed and reported on the Quarterly
Reconciliation Report as set forth in this Section 3.2.3 shall be paid (if a
positive number) or invoiced (if a negative number) to Buyer by Supplier within
twenty (20) business days after the end of the Reporting Period coinciding with
end of such Quarter.

               (b) Certain elements of Allocated Variable Overhead shall be
reconciled at the end of each Quarter as follows. The total, for all Product
Codes, of the net positive or negative difference (expressed in dollars per
unit) between the sum of: (i) Stipulated Variable Electricity Costs, plus (ii)
Stipulated Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide Costs for the Quarter then-ended minus
the sum of: (x) Allocated Variable Electricity Costs for such Quarter, plus (y)
Allocated Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide Costs, such difference multiplied by the
total number of units shipped during such Quarter, shall be computed and
reported on the Quarterly Reconciliation Report. The Allocated Variable
Electricity Costs and the Allocated Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide Costs shall then
be updated in Allocated Variable Overhead as the Stipulated Variable Electricity
Costs and the Stipulated Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide Costs, respectively, in the
immediately succeeding Quarter, with such adjustments as may mutually be
agreed-to between Buyer and Supplier based on anticipated changes in such cost
elements for the upcoming Quarter.

               (c) The total, for all Product Codes, of the net positive or
negative difference (expressed in dollars per unit) between Stipulated Inventory
Carrying Costs at the beginning of the Quarter minus Allocated Inventory
Carrying Costs at the end of the Quarter, such difference multiplied by the
total number of units shipped during such Quarter, shall be computed and
reported on the Quarterly Reconciliation Report.

               (d) The total, for all Product Codes, of the net positive or
negative difference for all Distributors (expressed in dollars per unit) between
the Billing Freight Allowance for each such Distributor minus the Allocated
Freight Costs, multiplied by the total number of units shipped to each such

                                     - 11 -                      EXECUTION COPY


<PAGE>

Distributor during such Quarter, shall be computed and reported on the Quarterly
Reconciliation Report. The Allocated Freight Costs for the Quarter then-ended
shall then be updated in the Product Cost Formula as the new Billing Freight
Allowance for the immediately next succeeding Quarter. The Allocated Freight
Costs for the Quarter then-ended shall be updated in the Product Cost Formula as
the new Billing Freight Allowance for the immediately next succeeding Quarter.

               (e) At the end of each Quarter, any depreciation for new capital
equipment deemed placed "in-service" during such Quarter as provided in Schedule
"A" but not included in the Allocated Fixed Overhead established at the
beginning of such Quarter shall be computed and reported on the Quarterly
Reconciliation Report. The fixed depreciation component of Allocated Fixed
Overhead shall then be updated for the immediately next succeeding Quarter to
include all such new capital equipment.

         3.2.4 Annual Updates to Product Cost Formula and Reconciliation.

               (a) The allowance for Employee Benefits at the end of such year
shall be updated in the Product Cost Formula as the new allowance for Employee
Benefits in the Product Direct Costs component of the Product Cost Formula for
the immediately next succeeding contract year.

               (b) The Direct Labor Costs component of the Product Cost Formula
shall be updated not more than once per contract year on a date to be determined
by Supplier. At the end of the Reporting Period coinciding with such date, the
then-current Direct Labor Costs shall be updated in the Product Cost Formula as
the new Direct Labor Costs in Product Direct Costs.

               (c) In addition to the foregoing annual reconciliation and
updates to the Product Cost Formula, the following elements of the Allocated
Variable Overhead shall be updated (but not reconciled) annually, at the end of
the Reporting Period in which the anniversary date of this Agreement occurs, in
the Product Cost Formula for the next succeeding contract year in the manner set
forth in Schedule "B": (i) storage costs, and (ii) water and sewer costs.

         3.2.5 Annual Updates to Allocated Fixed Overhead and Allocated
               Inventory Carrying Costs, and Reconciliation.

               (a) Annually, at the end of the Reporting Period in which the
anniversary date of this Agreement occurs, the positive or negative difference
between the sum of: (i) the taxes and license fees included in Allocated Fixed
Overhead for the contract year then-ended, plus (ii) insurance stipulated for
such year minus the sum of (x) the actual taxes and license fees paid or
incurred by Supplier for such contract year, plus (y) Supplier's actual
insurance expense for such year, shall be computed and reported on the Quarterly
Reconciliation Report for the last Quarter of each contract year. The net total
amount computed and reported on the Quarterly Reconciliation Report as set forth
in this Section 3.2.5, and in Sections 3.2.3 and 3.2.4, shall be paid (if a
positive number) or invoiced (if a negative number) to Buyer by Supplier within
twenty (20) business days after the end of the Reporting Period coinciding with
end of such year. The taxes and license fees included in Allocated Fixed
Overhead shall then be updated in Allocated Fixed Overhead for the upcoming year
of the Term as mutually agreed-upon between Buyer and Supplier, based on changes
or anticipated changes in tax law or applicable production assets utilized or to
be utilized by Supplier in manufacturing Product for the upcoming year.

               (b) Annually, at the end of the Reporting Period in which the
anniversary date of this Agreement occurs, the then-current Allocated G&A for
such contract year shall be updated as the new Allocated G&A for the immediately
next succeeding contract year to an amount mutually agreed-upon by Supplier and
Buyer, such amount to be determined taking into account the specific general and
administrative activities required for Supplier to properly administer
Supplier's responsibilities contemplated by this

                                     - 12 -                      EXECUTION COPY


<PAGE>

Agreement in light of the volume of production reasonably anticipated for the
upcoming year. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the updated amount for
Allocated G&A shall not exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of the
then-current Allocated G&A for the contract year then-ending.

               (c) In addition to the foregoing, the following elements of
Allocated Fixed Overhead shall be updated (but not reconciled) annually, at the
end of the Reporting Period in which the anniversary date of this Agreement
occurs, for the next succeeding contract year in the manner set forth in
Schedule "A": (i) fixed maintenance costs, (ii) supervision costs, and (iii)
quality assurance costs.

         3.2.6 Delivery and Review of Quarterly Reconciliation Report and Weekly
Reconciliation Reports. Within twenty (20) business days after the end of each
Quarter, Supplier shall provide to Buyer a proposed Quarterly Reconciliation
Report for the Quarter, together with the Weekly Reconciliation Report for the
Reporting Period coinciding with the end of such Quarter. Buyer shall have ten
(10) business days to review the proposed Quarterly Reconciliation Report for
each Quarter and the Weekly Reconciliation Report for the Reporting Period
coinciding with the end of such Quarter after its receipt of such reports. Buyer
and Supplier shall convene an in-person meeting or conference call (each, a
"Status Conference") at a mutually convenient time and location to review the
Quarterly Reconciliation Report and all of the Weekly Reconciliation Reports for
the Quarter then-ended, and discuss the status of manufacturing operations,
ongoing or proposed projects and other matters of interest to either party. If
Buyer is unable to reconcile or disputes any item included in any of the
Quarterly Reconciliation Reports or Weekly Reconciliation Reports, or the
computation of any amounts due to or from Supplier (regardless of whether any
such amounts have been received or paid), it shall notify Supplier within such
ten (10) business day period of any such items it is unable to reconcile or
which it disputes. The foregoing notwithstanding, the failure by Buyer to
dispute or question any item within such ten (10) business day period shall not
constitute a waiver by Buyer or Supplier of the right to subsequently dispute or
question such item; provided, however, that any such dispute or question by
Buyer or Supplier shall be asserted not later than the conclusion of the Status
Conference for the Quarter immediately following the Quarter pertaining to such
dispute or question, or shall be thereafter (absent fraud, misrepresentation,
inaccuracy or omission in such reporting by Supplier) be deemed irrevocably
waived. Supplier and Buyer shall attempt diligently in good faith to reconcile
any differences and to resolve by mutual agreement any items in dispute within
twenty (20) business days (the "Resolution Period") following such notification
by Buyer. If any of the items in dispute are not resolved within the Resolution
Period, either party thereafter shall have the right to submit the disputed
items for resolution to an arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties (the
"Arbitrator") in accordance with Section 22, whose decision shall be final and
binding on the parties, and when made, shall be deemed to be an agreement
between Supplier and Buyer on the issues so determined. The expense of the
Arbitrator shall be borne equally by Buyer and Supplier. Any net final
adjustment due to or from Supplier for any Quarter resulting from the review of
the proposed Quarterly Reconciliation Report for the Quarter or the Weekly
Reconciliation Report for the Reporting Period coinciding with the end of such
Quarter shall be paid by or to Buyer within the later of: twenty (20) business
days after the ten (10) business day review provided for above, or its final
determination if a dispute or question is raised within such ten (10) business
day review; provided , however, that any amounts not in dispute shall be paid by
the earlier of such dates.


4. Production Modifications; New Product Development.

         4.1 Prior Approval of All Changes. Subject to Section 2.3, Supplier
shall not change any specifications, recipes, formulas, or processes related to
Product without Buyer's prior written approval. Buyer shall have the right to
audit and approve in advance all changes to standard costs reflected in the
Bills of Materials, including but not limited to, changes in formulae,
processes, ingredients, manning per line, line speeds and yields, structural
waste, and units per Case (including any change to a Bill of Materials whereby
an operating variance is reclassified into ongoing direct cost).

         4.2 New Product Development

         4.2.1 Initiation of a Product Development Project. From time to time
during the Term, Buyer shall have the right to develop and introduce additional
Product items or make modifications to existing Product recipes, formulas,
specifications and preparation procedures which, in either case, require
expenditures by Supplier in order to manufacture such additional Product or to
implement such modifications. Such expenditures may include amounts which are
classified in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as
capital expenditures and/or non-capital expenditures. Amounts classified as
capital expenditures shall be governed by Section 4.2.3(c) and Section 4.4.
Amounts classified as non-capital expenditures shall be governed by Section 4.3.
Each such project shall be referred to herein as a "Product Development Project"
(and shall not be governed by the provisions of Section 4.5 relating to
Structural Savings Projects). Any additional or modified Product developed
pursuant to a Product Development Project may either be developed in addition to
or may replace one or more then-existing Product Codes. Prior to implementing
any Product Development Project, Buyer and Supplier shall develop a mutually
agreeable budget and timetable for the project and, if applicable, shall provide
for the sharing of rights to any Proprietary Information jointly developed in
the course of such project upon such terms as are mutually-agreed upon in a
written agreement entered into pursuant to Section 14.3.

         4.2.2 Supplier Support of Buyer R&D. Supplier shall provide
commercially reasonable manufacturing support for Buyer's product research and
development activities, and shall work diligently with Buyer to develop a budget
for and to implement each Product Development Project. Supplier and Buyer shall
mutually agree on the time that Supplier may begin to invoice Distributors for
the production of any additional or modified Product items and to include any
such additional or modified Product in the cost update, reconciliation and
adjustment process of Section 3 using the Product Cost Formula. In connection
therewith, Supplier's manufacturing support for Buyer's research and development
shall continue at least from the production of Product bench samples through
initial manufacturing (but not including market test production runs) before the
commencement of any such invoicing and cost update, reconciliation and
adjustment procedures.

         4.2.3 New Product Cost Formula. The Product Cost for Product
manufactured pursuant to a Product Development Project shall be determined in
the same manner set forth in Section 3.2.1, and consistent with the following
principles:

               (a) Product Direct Costs. Supplier and Buyer shall mutually agree
on a operational variance percentage for the per unit standard costs for
delivered ingredients and Direct Labor Costs, which shall be developed using the
same methodology used for determining such operational variance for existing
Products, and which shall not exceed in each case the highest percentage
variance for Product manufactured by Supplier in the same product category if a
comparable Product category then exists.

               (b) Allocated Fixed Overhead and Allocated Variable Overhead.
Supplier and Buyer shall mutually agree on the fixed and variable overhead
allocations, which shall be developed using the same methodology used for
determining such Allocated Fixed Overhead and Allocated Variable Overhead for
existing Products, and which if a comparable Product category then exists, shall
be based on the average fixed and variable overhead allocations for Product
manufactured by Supplier in such Product category.

               (c) Allocated Profit. Allocated Profit for Product manufactured
pursuant to a Product Development Project shall mean the product obtained by
multiplying the Product Direct Costs for such Product determined pursuant to
this Section 4.2.3 (excluding Allocated Profit) by eleven and one-quarter
percent (11.25%).

                                     - 14 -                      EXECUTION COPY


<PAGE>

             4.2.4 Alternative Sources. If Buyer does not reach agreement with
Supplier on those matters required by this Section 4 to be mutually agreed upon
in connection with a Product Development Project after good faith attempts by
Buyer to reach such agreements, Buyer shall be permitted to implement such
Product Development Project with third parties.

         4.3 Non-Capital Expenditures for Product Development Projects. Supplier
shall be responsible for scaling up, and implementing any manufacturing and
supply changes required in connection with any Product Development Project. The
actual direct, incremental expenses incurred as a result of any Product
Development Project, consisting of material, packaging, direct hourly labor
shall be allocated as follows:

             (a) If the total amount of such expenses for a single project do
not exceed Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000), Supplier shall pay the total
amount of such expenses; provided , however, that Supplier shall not be
obligated to incur more than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) of such expenses,
in the aggregate, during any one (1) year of the Term.

             (b) If the total amount of such expenses exceed Fifteen Thousand
Dollars ($15,000) per project or if the annual Fifty Thousand Dollar ($50,000)
limit in Section 4.3(a) has been exceeded, Buyer shall pay the total amount of
such excess.

         4.4 Capital Expenses. Supplier shall be responsible for all capital
expenses incurred or required to be incurred in connection with its supply
responsibilities and duties under this Agreement, including, without limitation,
capital expenses for capacity expansion to fulfill the Product requirements of
Buyer's System as provided in this Agreement. Any capital expenses incurred in
connection with an agreed-to Product Development Project shall be governed by
the provisions of Section 4.2.3(c); provided, however, that in the event that
the implementation of a Product Development Project requires the purchase of
capital equipment which would be used solely and exclusively for the manufacture
of Product for Buyer's System, Buyer and Supplier shall discuss the possibility
of some form of contribution by Buyer toward such capital expense and/or an
increase in the Allocated Profit specified in Section 4.2.3(c), in each case,
upon such terms and conditions as shall be mutually agreed to between Buyer and
Supplier. Any capital expenses incurred in connection with an agreed-to
Structural Savings Project shall be governed by the provisions of Section
4.5(a).

         4.5 Structural Savings Projects.

             (a) From time to time during the Term, Supplier and Buyer may
provide each other with recommendations for improving the efficiency of the
manufacturing and supply processes and for reducing costs (each, a "Structural
Savings Project"). Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) any
project designated as a Structural Savings Project shall not be treated as a
Product Development Project governed by Section 4.2 and Section 4.3; and (ii)
any program implemented for the purpose of managing any ingredients or packaging
costs (including, but not limited to, flour and butter costs) shall not be
governed by this Section 4.5. Buyer and Supplier shall mutually determine which,
if any, proposed Structural Savings Project are to be implemented on a
project-by-project basis, and shall work together to implement such mutually
agreed-upon Structural Savings Project and, if applicable, shall provide for the
sharing of rights to any Proprietary Information jointly developed in the course
of such project upon such terms as are mutually-agreed upon in a written
agreement entered into pursuant to Section 14.3. Each Structural Savings Project
may involve expenditures which are classified in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles as capital expenditures and/or non-capital
expenditures. All such expenditures (whether capital or non-capital) shall be
allocated as mutually agreed-upon by the parties, consistent with the following
principles: Reductions in costs resulting from changes in Operating Standards
shall be initially (and temporarily) shared between Buyer and Supplier by their
mutual agreement to phase-in appropriate reductions to Product Direct Costs in
the applicable Bills of Materials resulting from the Structural Savings Project.
Buyer and Supplier shall mutually determine the amount of cost savings to be
included in Product Direct Costs and the time

                                     - 15 -                      EXECUTION COPY


<PAGE>

during which such cost savings shall be realized, commencing upon a mutually
agreed-upon implementation date of the project. After such agreed-upon phase-in
period, the reduction in Product Direct Costs shall be permanent.

             (b) The foregoing and any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, if Supplier undertakes any project affecting standard
equipment running rates, efficiency and/or manning requirements or any other
element upon which the Bills of Materials for any Product Code is based
(including, by way of illustration and without limitation, modification of
machine speeds or the engineering capability of any equipment) which is not
otherwise a part of any Structural Savings Project mutually agreed-to by Buyer
pursuant to this Section 4.5, the cost structure for the appropriate Bills of
Materials for the Product Direct Costs shall be modified effective as of the
date that such project is implemented to reflect any improvement in the
Operating Standards resulting from the implementation of such Structural Savings
Project, without any allocation of expense to Buyer (including, without
limitation, scaling-up expenses for labor, scrap, waste or otherwise associated
with the implementation of such project). Nothing contained in this Section 4.5
shall release Supplier from its obligation under this Agreement to notify and
obtain the prior consent of Buyer before undertaking any Structural Savings
Project.

         4.6 Discontinued Product. Any provision of this Section 4 to the
contrary notwithstanding, if Buyer discontinues any Product Code, Buyer shall
purchase, or cause to be purchased, Supplier's entire inventory of such
discontinued manufactured Product and any ingredients and packaging made
obsolete by the discontinuation of such a Product Code, all at Supplier's actual
cost; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be obligated to purchase such
obsolete inventories or ingredients or packaging in excess of twenty-five
percent (25%) of the volume of such ingredients or packaging which has been
consumed or used by Supplier in manufacturing such discontinued Product Code
during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding its discontinuance. The
foregoing notwithstanding, if Supplier has purchased or committed to purchase
(at the direction of or with the mutual agreement of Buyer) packaging in
quantities greater than the foregoing twenty-five percent (25%) annual limit,
Buyer shall purchase all such good and useable packaging which is unique to
Buyer's Product and not otherwise useable by Supplier.


5. Duty to Supply.

         5.1 Reliability. Supplier recognizes the importance of a reliable
source of supply of Product to Buyer's System. Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, Supplier shall manufacture and supply one hundred percent (100%) of
the Product requirements of Buyer's System by maintaining adequate inventory
levels of Product with each Distributor. Buyer shall provide Supplier with at
least three (3) months advance notice of any special promotions or other events
that would reasonably be expected to materially affect the demand for and the
need for additional Product.

         5.2 Failure to Supply. In the event that:

             (a) Supplier fails to supply the members of Buyer's System with
their respective Product requirements and such failure is not attributable to an
act or failure to act by Buyer, a Distributor or a member of Buyer's System,
then Buyer shall have the right to purchase Product from sources other than
Supplier to the extent Supplier, in Buyer's reasonable judgment, is unable to
supply the required quantities of such Product, provided that Buyer gives
Supplier prior or contemporaneous notice thereof; and

             (b) Supplier fails to supply Product (other than additional or
modified Product as contemplated by Section 4 in its first ninety (90) days of
supply by Supplier) and such failure results in a Stock-out Shortage, then
Supplier shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the then-current full retail
price of each Case of such undelivered Product less the Invoice Price of each
Case of such undelivered Product (the

                                     - 16 -                      EXECUTION COPY


<PAGE>

"Shortage Fee"); provided, however, that no Shortage Fee shall be payable to
Buyer if: (i) the Stock-out Shortage is due to a failure by a Distributor to
order timely such Product in sufficient quantities or to take timely delivery of
such Product or provide Supplier with accurate information regarding inventory
management; or (ii) the Stock-out Shortage is due to a failure to provide notice
to Supplier required by Section 2.3 or Section 5.1; or (iii) the cumulative
amount of Stock-out Shortages in any Quarter is less than one-half of one
percent (0.5%) (or such greater percentage applicable to Stock-Out Shortages in
any distribution contract between Buyer and any Approved Distributor) of the
total number of Cases of all Product Codes shipped by such Distributor to
Buyer's System in such Quarter. The Shortage Fee payable hereunder shall
constitute liquidated damages and Supplier shall not be liable to Buyer, the
Distributors or members of Buyer's System for any other damages, so long as the
events described in this Section 5.2 do not otherwise constitute a Supplier
Default pursuant to Section 16.1.


6. Place of Manufacture. Supplier shall manufacture all Product only at Approved
Plants and supply all Product from Approved Plants, provided , however, that
Supplier may manufacture Product at facilities other than an Approved Plant and
supply Product from facilities other than an Approved Plant if: (i) Supplier
obtains Buyer's prior written approval; and (ii) Buyer is provided the same
access to such other facilities and such other facilities' employees and books
and records as Buyer has with respect to any Approved Plant. Buyer's approval or
disapproval shall be based upon the impact the new facility is expected to have
upon Product, including, among other things, its quality and consistency, and
the Invoice Price and adjustments thereto (including freight), and the
distribution requirements of Buyer's System.


7. Distributors.

         7.1 Supplier's Rights. Each Distributor and Independent Operator (as
defined in Section 7.3) shall be, at all times, creditworthy and reasonably
satisfactory to Supplier. Supplier shall immediately communicate with Buyer
regarding any issues or problems (regardless of whether concerning ordering,
shipping, payment or otherwise) that Supplier may experience from time to time
with any Distributor or Independent Operator, and shall provide Buyer with
copies of all written communications sent to or received from a Distributor or
Independent Operator concerning any such issues or problems simultaneously upon
such delivery or receipt. Supplier shall be entitled to suspend supply of
Product to any Distributor or Independent Operator upon as much prior written
notice (specifying the reasons for such proposed suspension) as is reasonably
practical to Buyer if Supplier, in its sole discretion, determines such
Distributor or Independent Operator is not creditworthy or has failed to perform
in a commercially reasonable manner. Whenever possible, Supplier shall first
give a defaulting Distributor or Independent Operator a reasonable opportunity
to avoid suspension by curing its default and providing Supplier with reasonable
adequate assurance of future performance. The foregoing notwithstanding, if
Supplier has not previously communicated to Buyer (either verbally or in
writing) the existence of any issues or problems with a Distributor or
Independent Operator, Supplier shall provide not less than thirty (30) days
prior notice to Buyer before suspending supply of Product, unless Supplier in
good faith determines that there exists extraordinary circumstances justifying
such suspension (which extraordinary circumstances shall be specifically
identified in writing to Buyer in Supplier's notice of such suspension). If the
sole reason for such suspension is the creditworthiness of a Distributor or
Independent Operator, Buyer may avoid the suspension by providing to Supplier a
guarantee of the performance of such Distributor or Independent Operator in
substantially the form provided in Exhibit 7.1. Subject to Section 7.2, Buyer
shall have the right to replace a suspended Distributor with an alternate
Distributor. In case of suspension or pending suspension of supply of Product to
a Distributor or an Independent Operator, Supplier shall cooperate with Buyer
and Buyer's System to avoid any disruption of supply to Buyer's System.

<PAGE>

         7.2 Appointment. If Buyer desires to appoint a new or alternate
Distributor, Buyer shall submit the name and business address of such proposed
Distributor to Supplier along with such other information as Supplier may
reasonably request. Supplier shall thereafter have thirty (30) calendar days in
which to approve or disapprove the appointment of such Person as a Distributor.
If Supplier disapproves the appointment, Supplier shall provide Buyer with
notice of the reason or reasons for such disapproval within such thirty (30) day
period, and if the sole reason for disapproval is the creditworthiness of such
Distributor then Buyer may, at Buyer's sole discretion, obtain immediate
approval of such Distributor by providing to Supplier a guarantee of the
performance of such Distributor in substantially the form provided in Exhibit
7.1. If Supplier fails to provide Buyer with notice of disapproval within such
thirty (30) day period, then Supplier shall be deemed to have approved the
appointment of such Person as a Distributor.

         7.3 Direct Distribution. Certain members of Buyer's System
("Independent Operators") may, with Buyer's approval, purchase Product through
Buyer without using a Distributor. Supplier shall supply Product to such
Independent Operators designated by Buyer on terms and conditions to be
negotiated and agreed upon between such Independent Operators and Buyer, and on
payment terms to be determined in accordance with Supplier's credit policy.


8. Quality Assurance.

         8.1 Inspection. Upon demand, Buyer shall have the right, without prior
notice and during operating hours, to inspect any Approved Plant (and all other
facilities where Product is manufactured) and to observe the Product
manufacturing process. Buyer shall also have the right, upon reasonable notice,
to escort its franchisees (and such other Persons as are approved by Supplier)
through any Approved Plant during operating hours to observe the Product
manufacturing process.

         8.2 Quality Assurance Program. Buyer shall establish with Supplier a
mutually acceptable quality assurance program, which program shall, among other
things, provide Buyer's management with reasonable and meaningful access to
Supplier and its employees in charge of Product. Buyer shall have the right, at
its sole option and expense, to station a part-time or full-time quality
assurance representative at any Approved Plant who shall have the authority to
accept or reject Product prior to its shipment. Product may only be rejected if
it fails to comply with the Product specifications provided to Supplier. Any
quality assurance representative shall, at all times, be reasonably acceptable
to Supplier. Neither the presence of a quality assurance representative at any
Approved Plant on behalf of Buyer, nor the failure of such representative to
reject Product prior to shipment, shall in any way modify Buyer's rights under
this Agreement or under applicable law or Supplier's obligations to manufacture
and ship Product according to Product specifications pursuant to Section 2.3.


9. Representations and Warranties of Supplier. Supplier represents and warrants
to Buyer that:

         9.1 Organization and Good Standing. Supplier has been duly organized

be, hereunder; provided, however, that in the case of any such agreement or
arrangement with those Persons listed on Schedule 12.3, both Buyer and Supplier
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement (and such third party shall not

intent to enter into such agreement or arrangement. In the event that Supplier
notifies Buyer that it elects to terminate this Agreement after receiving
Buyer's notice of its intent to enter into such agreement or arrangement, Buyer
shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of Supplier's notice to withdraw its
notice of intent to enter into such agreement or arrangement, in which case this
Agreement shall not terminate and shall continue as if Buyer had not delivered
such notice to Supplier. Any notice delivered by Buyer or Supplier pursuant to
this Section 12.3 shall not constitute a Buyer Default or Supplier Default,
respectively.

              (b) In the event that operational control of Buyer or Buyer's
System is transferred to a third-party after notice of termination is provided
pursuant to Section 12.3(a) and prior to the expiration of such four (4) month
notice period, then Supplier shall have the right to limit the inspection rights

the Term and, so long as this Agreement is not terminated by Buyer as a result
of a Supplier Default, for six (6) months thereafter, hire, retain or attempt to

Supplier or in any way interfere with the relationship between Buyer and any
such Persons, unless the Supplier's relationship with such Person has been
terminated by Supplier, or Supplier consents thereto in writing in advance.

developed Proprietary Information; provided, however, that even in the absence
of such written agreement, Supplier shall retain the right to utilize any
jointly developed manufacturing processes for manufacturing activities not
otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

In manufacturing bakery products other than pursuant to this Agreement, Supplier
shall use product codes and product names for product which are separate and
distinct from those used for Product manufactured for Buyer.

than to a Distributor or to Buyer's System or (B) to use any processes or
procedures used in the manufacture of any Product for the manufacture and sale
of any products to any Person other than to a Distributor or to Buyer's System,
then Supplier shall, in any event, be prohibited from: (i) using Buyer's
trademarks, trade names, trade secrets and trade dress; and (ii) selling to any
third-party any "Protected Signature Product," which is set forth on Schedule
14.5(A). In addition, Supplier shall not manufacture any dough product on any of
the production lines used for the manufacture of Product at any Approved Plant
to any Competitor. As used in this Section 14.5 only, the term "Approved Plant"
shall exclude any plant designated as an Approved Plant solely for the purpose
of implementing the Disaster Recovery Plan referred to in Section 16.6. For the
purpose of this Section 14.5, the term "Competitor" shall mean any of the retail
operations conducted in the continental United States listed on Schedule
14.5(B). Nothing contained herein shall prevent Supplier from selling any baked,
par-baked or pre-proofed bakery products to any Competitor or other customer of
Supplier, so long as: (1) such bakery products are materially different in
formulation from any Product manufactured by Supplier for Buyer hereunder, and
(2) Supplier agrees to manufacture Buyer's own baked, par-baked or pre-proofed
bakery products which are introduced by Buyer as additional Product pursuant to

following events occur (each a "Supplier Default"):

              (a) If Supplier files a petition for adjudication as a bankrupt,
for reorganization or for an arrangement under any bankruptcy or insolvency law,
or if any involuntary petition under such law is filed against Supplier and is
not dismissed within thirty (30) days thereafter; then, so long as any such
event is continuing, Buyer may by notice in writing to Supplier terminate its
obligations to purchase all or a portion of Product forthwith;

              (b) If Supplier makes an assignment of all or substantially all of
its assets for the benefit of creditors, or if Supplier's interest under this

                                     - 24 -                      EXECUTION COPY

              (c) If Supplier fails to perform any material covenant or material
obligation including, but not limited to, the payment of any amounts due to
Buyer; provided, however, that no termination shall be made hereunder unless and
until Buyer gives Supplier notice of such failure to perform and Supplier has

or ten (10) days in the case of failure to make payment of any amounts due to
Buyer; or

              (d) There is a change of ownership or control of Supplier or
Supplier transfers its interest in any Approved Plant to a third party (in
either case, other than to an Affiliate of Supplier); provided, however, that
if, and only if, Supplier provides Buyer with at least six (6) months prior
written notice of such change of ownership or control or transfer (which written
notice shall be a joint written notice signed by Buyer and the proposed
transferee certifying that Supplier and the proposed transferred have entered
into a binding agreement for such change of ownership or control or transfer),
Buyer's exclusive remedy upon the occurrence of such an event in the absence of
Buyer's prior written consent to any such event (and without limiting Buyer's
remedies in the event of any other Supplier Default) shall be limited to the
right to terminate this Agreement.

         16.2 Reservation of Rights; Cancellation Fee. In the event of a
Supplier Default, which, if subject to cure, is not cured within the time
provided in this Agreement, then no rights or remedies otherwise available to
the parties upon such termination shall be deemed surrendered, except as
otherwise provided in the case of a Supplier Default under Section 16.1(d). In
addition to all other rights and remedies granted herein to either party, and in
addition to all other rights and remedies each party may have at law, in equity
or otherwise, in the event that if this Agreement is terminated due to Supplier
Default (excluding a Supplier Default under Section 16.1(d) if the proviso
therein is applicable), Supplier shall pay to Buyer a cancellation fee (the "
Supplier's Cancellation Fee") in an amount equal to One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) per year for each year remaining in the first four (4) years of the
Term, pro rated for any partial such year remaining in the Term upon the

reorganization or for an arrangement under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or
if any involuntary petition under such law is filed against Buyer and is not
dismissed within thirty (30) days thereafter; then, so long as any such event is
continuing, Supplier may by notice in writing to Buyer terminate its obligations
to manufacture or supply all or a portion of Product forthwith;

              (b) Buyer makes an assignment of all or substantially all of its
assets for the benefit of creditors, or if Buyer's interest under this Agreement
shall be taken upon execution; or

              (c) Buyer fails to perform any material covenant or material
obligation including, but not limited to, the payment of any amounts due to
Supplier from Buyer; provided, however, that no termination may be made
hereunder unless and until Supplier gives Buyer written notice of such failure
to perform and Buyer has not cured such failure within thirty (30) days after
its receipt of such notice, or ten (10) days in the case of failure to make
payment of any amounts due to Supplier.

         16.4 Reservation of Rights. In the event of a Buyer Default, which, if
subject to cure, is not cured within the time provided in this Agreement, then
no rights or remedies otherwise available to the parties

                                     - 25 -                      EXECUTION COPY
<PAGE>

upon such termination shall be deemed surrendered. In addition to all other
rights and remedies granted herein to either party, and in addition to all other
rights and remedies each party may have at law, in equity or otherwise, in the
event that if this Agreement is terminated due to Buyer Default, Buyer shall pay
to Supplier a cancellation fee (the "Buyer's Cancellation Fee") in an amount
equal to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) per year for each year
remaining in the first four (4) years of the Term, pro rated for any partial
such year remaining in the Term upon the effective date of termination. If
Supplier elects to terminate due to a Buyer Default, then Buyer's Cancellation
Fee shall be payable to Supplier in full within thirty (30) days following the
effective date of termination.

         16.5 Effect of Termination.

              (a) Termination of this Agreement, whether by lapse of time,
mutual consent, operation of law, exercise of right of termination or otherwise
shall not affect the ownership interests in the respective Proprietary
Information, proprietary rights and other rights of the parties, but shall only
affect any obligations of the parties to continue to cooperate in the
manufacturing, supply and purchase of Product.

              (b) Upon termination of this Agreement by lapse of time or mutual
consent, Supplier shall complete the manufacture and supply of Product to fill
any outstanding orders that are deliverable within thirty (30) days of such
termination and Buyer shall purchase, or cause to be purchased, such Product.

              (c) Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, all
provisions regarding: (i) the sharing of costs between the parties; (ii) the
ownership, non-use, or protection of Proprietary Information; (iii)
indemnification, (iv) representations of the parties being true as of the time
made; and (v) any obligations of either party to the other contained herein
which, by their nature, should reasonably extend beyond the termination of any
regular ongoing business relationship between the parties as contemplated by
this Agreement, shall survive such termination.

              (d) In the event that a notice of intended termination is given by
either party (irrespective of whether such notice is based upon the occurrence
or existence of a Supplier Default, a Buyer Default or otherwise), Buyer and
Supplier shall thereafter develop and implement a transition plan prior to the
termination date of the Term in which the manufacture of Product by Supplier is
phased-out and transitioned to a new supplier in an orderly manner over not more
than a four (4) month period. As part of such transition plan, Buyer shall agree
to purchase one hundred percent (100%) of all good, saleable, non-obsolete and
useable finished goods inventory manufactured by Supplier (consistent with
then-current shelf life requirements and other Product specifications). In
addition, Buyer shall agree to purchase, at Supplier's actual cost, any
ingredients and packaging that are specific and unique to the manufacture of
Buyer's Products (including any contracts for such ingredients and packaging
that are purchased on a long-term basis); provided, however, that Buyer shall
not be obligated to purchase such ingredients or packaging in excess of
twenty-five percent (25%) of the volume of such ingredients or packaging which
has been consumed or used by Supplier in manufacturing Product during the twelve
(12) months immediately preceding the termination date. The foregoing
notwithstanding, if Supplier has purchased or committed to purchase (at the
direction of or with the mutual agreement of Buyer) packaging in quantities
greater than the foregoing twenty-five percent (25%) annual limit, Buyer shall
purchase all such good and useable packaging which is unique to Buyer's Product
and not otherwise useable by Supplier..

         16.6 Force Majeure. Neither a Supplier Default nor a Buyer Default
shall be deemed to have occurred if either party is prevented or delayed from
fulfilling any terms or provisions of this Agreement by reason of any disaster
resulting from an act of nature or terrorist event (each, a "Force Majeure
Event"). Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, Buyer and Supplier shall
cooperate to the extent necessary to minimize any disruption of supply to
Buyer's System, including, without limitation, implementing the Disaster
Recovery Plan set forth in Exhibit 16.6 to the extent necessary or appropriate.

         17.1 Books and Records. Supplier shall maintain, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, accurate and
complete books and records with respect to all Product Direct Costs, including
all categories of information comprising Product Direct Costs, and freight costs
relating to Product.

         17.2 Rights to Audit; Rights to Inspect. Upon reasonable prior notice,
Buyer shall have the right, during normal business hours, to inspect and audit
the books and records of Supplier relating solely to the calculation of Product
Cost and adjustments thereto.

         17.3 Certain Information. Upon Buyer's written request, Supplier shall
provide information in its control concerning the manufacturing and supply of
Product, including, without limitation, copies of purchase and supply agreements
with vendors, sources of raw materials used in Product and information on
Supplier's maintenance of confidential information relating to Buyer.


18. Remedies. The relationship between Supplier and Buyer, which is reflected in
this Agreement, is special and unique and has a value which cannot be readily
measured in monetary terms. Therefore, in the event of any breach or threatened
breach by either party, the other party shall be entitled to seek both legal and
equitable relief, including, without limitation, temporary, preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief, to restrain such breach or threatened breach and to
mandate compliance with the terms set forth herein. All rights and remedies of
either party hereto are cumulative of each other and of every other right or
remedy such party may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of
one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or
subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.


19. Indemnification. Supplier will at all times indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Buyer, the members of Buyer's System and each of their Affiliates from
and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses,
including reasonable counsel fees, arising out of (i) any Supplier Default or
failure by Supplier to perform its obligations hereunder; and (ii) the supply of
Product by Supplier that is not in compliance with the Product specifications.
Buyer will at all times indemnify, defend and hold harmless Supplier from and
against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including
reasonable counsel fees, arising out of (i) any Buyer Default or failure by
Buyer to perform its obligations hereunder; (ii) any claim for infringement or
violation with any patent or trade secret of any third party, to the extent such
claim is attributable to use by Supplier of the recipes, formulae, processes and
specifications provided to Supplier by Buyer; and (iii) any claim or action by
any third-party alleging infringement or violation of, or conflict with, any
trademarks, tradenames or trade dress, to the extent such claim or action is
attributable to the use of such trademarks, tradenames or trade dress used in
accordance with Buyer's specifications. Prompt written notice of any claim or
litigation hereunder shall be given to either party, as the case may be, by the
other party. The indemnifying party shall have the right to control the defense
of the claim at its expense. The indemnified party shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to participate in the defense of any claim. There shall be no
settlement of any claim to which an indemnity relates without the prior written
consent of the indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. If a third party brings an action against either party and there is a
dispute between Buyer and Supplier as to who is responsible for defending such
action, then, until such dispute is resolved, Buyer and Supplier shall cooperate
so as not to jeopardize the defense of such action.

term, but any such waiver shall be effective only if in a writing signed by the
party against whom such waiver is to be asserted. Except as otherwise

provided herein, no delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any waiver on the part of any party hereto of any right, power or privilege
hereunder operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege hereunder
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege hereunder.


28. Headings. The headings of the articles, sections and other subdivisions of

                                    GUARANTY


         For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned, PANERA, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the "Guarantor") unconditionally guarantees the performance
of all of the "Product Debt" (as defined herein) of [ Distributor ] (the
"Distributor") to DAWN FOOD PRODUCTS, INC., an Indiana corporation ("Supplier").

         This Guaranty is given by Guarantor pursuant to the terms of that
Bakery Products Supply Agreement, dated ______________, 2002 by and among
Supplier and Guarantor (the "Supply Agreement"). Capitalized terms used herein
without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Supply
Agreement.

         Guarantor represents and warrants that (i) Guarantor is associated with
Distributor by virtue of a distribution agreement between [among] Distributor
and Guarantor [or one or more of Guarantor's franchisees], (ii) Distributor's
relationship (as hereinafter defined) with Supplier benefits Guarantor, (iii)
the relationship between Distributor and Supplier is necessary or convenient for
the business purposes of Guarantor, (iv) Guarantor has specifically authorized
that this Guaranty be executed and delivered as necessary to the conduct of the
business of Guarantor, and (v) Guarantor understands that Supplier, in
continuing to supply Distributor after the date of this Guaranty in accordance
with the Supply Agreement, is relying on the obligations being undertaken by the
Guarantor as set forth herein.

         As used herein, the term " Product Debt" includes the monetary
obligations of Distributor to Supplier now existing or hereafter arising solely
for the payment by Distributor of the Invoice Price of Product delivered to
Distributor pursuant to the Supply Agreement. The term "Product Debt" shall not
include any other obligations of Distributor to Supplier, monetary or otherwise,
whether or not arising under the Supply Agreement.

         In the event payment of the Product Debt is not made by Distributor to
Supplier in accordance with the terms of the Supply Agreement within five (5)
business days of its due date, then, notwithstanding any other rights or
remedies which may then be available to Supplier, the entire unpaid amount of
such Product Debt shall become immediately due and payable by Guarantor in the
event that within thirty (30) days following such default, Supplier gives
written notice to Guarantor of Distributor's failure to timely make payment on
the Product Debt when due. Payment of such liabilities shall be made by
Guarantor within five (5) business days following Guarantor's receipt of such
notification by Supplier. Such notice shall be in writing and shall be deemed
effectively given to Guarantor in all respects when delivered, if delivered by
hand, by certified mail (return receipt requested) or by a nationally recognized
overnight courier service (otherwise delivery shall be effective only upon
actual receipt), and addressed as follows:_____________________________________

                                                                     PAGE 2 OF 3



__________________, or at such alternative address as may be designated by
Guarantor. A business day is any Monday through Friday on which first class mail
is delivered.

         Any payments made by Guarantor to Supplier pursuant to this Guaranty
shall be applied to such invoices as Guarantor in its discretion may determine.
Nothing contained in this Guaranty shall constitute an extension of the time for
the timely payment of the Product Debt by Distributor. Upon the making of any
such payments, Guarantor shall be fully subrogated to the rights of Supplier
with respect to the Product Debt paid by Guarantor.

         This Guaranty shall not be affected by any fraudulent, illegal, or
improper act by the Distributor. No provision of this Guaranty may be altered,
amended, waived, canceled or modified, except by a written instrument executed,
sealed and acknowledged by the Guarantor and Supplier. Except as provided
herein, Guarantor waives (i) presentment, demand, notice, and protest with
respect to the Product Debt and (ii) any right to require Supplier to pursue or
to proceed against Distributor prior to enforcing its rights against Guarantor
hereunder to the same extent as if Guarantor were jointly and severally liable
with the Distributor for the Product Debt. Guarantor hereby waives notice of
acceptance of this Guaranty.

         Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the
undersigned shall be notified in advance and in writing of any indulgence or
waiver which Supplier proposes to grant to Distributor with respect to the
Product Debt and of any alteration, amendment, cancellation, waiver, or
modification of any term or condition of the Product Debt. The undersigned shall
have the right to approve such alteration, amendment, cancellation waiver or
modification of any term or condition of the Product Debt, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The undersigned agrees that no action
by Supplier which has been consented to in advance by the undersigned in
accordance with the terms of this Guaranty shall affect the obligations of the
undersigned to the Supplier hereunder.

         The rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretion of Supplier
hereunder (hereinafter, the "Supplier's Rights and Remedies") shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise
have, and no delays or omissions by Supplier in exercising or enforcing any of
Supplier's Rights and Remedies shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof.
No waiver or modification by Supplier on any one occasion shall be deemed a
waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver.
All of each of the Supplier's Rights and Remedies under any other agreement with
the undersigned, the Distributor, or any such other person shall be cumulative
and not alternative or exclusive, and may be exercised by the Supplier at such
time or times and in such order of preference as Supplier, in its sole
discretion, may determine.

         This Guaranty shall be governed, construed, and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, as applicable to agreements
executed and entirely performed in said State. Any disputes relating to the
terms of this Guaranty shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri (or, if
subject matter jurisdiction in that court is not available, in any state court
located within the County of St. Louis, Missouri). Any determination that any
provision herein is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect in any
instance shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such
provision in any other instance and shall not affect the validity, legality or
enforceability

of any other provision contained herein. This Guaranty shall inure to the
benefit of the successors and assigns of Supplier. This Guaranty shall be
binding upon the successors, representatives, and assigns, of the undersigned.

         Unless terminated by Guarantor in accordance with the terms hereof,
this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until all Product Debt is
paid or otherwise satisfied in full. Guarantor may terminate this Guaranty at
any time upon not less than five (5) business days' prior notice to Supplier;
provided, however, that no such termination shall relieve Guarantor of any
liability for Product Debt relating to Product delivered to Distributor prior to
the date of termination.

sealed instrument on this __ day of ____________, _____.
