        DavCo
Restaurants Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") hereby certifies that Cede & Co., or registered assigns, is the owner of the number of Enhanced Income

        Each
EIS consists of $                              principal amount of    % senior
subordinated notes due 2016 of the Company (the "Notes") and one share of Class A

Common Stock as reflected on Schedule B hereto). The global Note and global Class A Common Stock certificate constituting part of this EISs Certificate are each attached hereto. The
terms of the Notes are governed by an Indenture (the "Indenture") dated as of                        2004, among the Company, the
Guarantors named therein and                        , as trustee (the "Trustee"), and

holder of this EISs Certificate upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. 



        Upon
the occurrence of a stock split, stock dividend or reclassification of the Class A Common Stock, the Company will notify in writing the EIS Transfer Agent and DTC of such
event and instruct them to reflect the resulting changes on Schedule B hereof. 


        This
EISs Certificate is not valid unless countersigned and registered by the Transfer Agent and Registrar. 


Automatic Separation:  


        Each EIS will automatically separate into one share of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment in case of a stock split, stock dividend or
reclassification of the Class A Common Stock as reflected on Schedule B hereto) and
$                              principal amount of Notes upon the (i) any exercise by the
Company of its right to redeem all or a portion of the Notes, which may be represented by EISs at the time of such redemption (ii) date on which principal on the Notes becomes due and payable,
whether at the stated maturity of the Notes or upon acceleration thereof, or (iii) if DTC is unwilling or unable to continue acting as securities depository with respect to the EISs or ceases
to be a registered clearing agency under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company is unable to find a successor depository. 


        In
addition, upon the Company's election to exercise its right to redeem shares of the Company's common stock in order to comply with the 20% ownership limitations set forth in its
amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the EISs that represent such shares of our common stock subject to redemption will automatically separate.

        In

will be automatically separated into the Class A Common Stock and the Notes represented hereby, (ii) this Certificate shall be canceled, and (iii) a new EIS Certificate(s) will be
issued to the holder of this Certificate representing the same number of EISs ("New EISs"). Each New EIS will consist of one share of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustment in case of a
stock split, stock dividend or reclassification of the Class A Common Stock as reflected on Schedule B hereto) and

issuance of the EISs                        , 2004 or (ii) the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the
Indenture), to separate the EISs represented by this Certificate or any portion
thereof for one share of Class A Common Stock (subject to adjustments in case of stock split, stock dividend or reclassification of the Class A Common Stock) and
$                  
            principal amount of Notes for each EIS. 



Recombination:  


        Unless the EISs have been previously automatically separated as a result of redemption or maturity of the senior subordinated notes or otherwise, any holder of
shares of our Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes may, at any time, through his or her broker or other financial institution, combine the applicable number of shares of
Class A common stock and senior subordinated notes to form EISs.
