                                  EXHIBIT 10.49

                                                               EXECUTION VERSION

                             MODIFICATION AGREEMENT

         This Modification Agreement (the "Agreement") is effective as of the
16th day of January, 2004 and is by and between Schlotzsky's Franchisor, L.L.C.,
a Delaware limited liability company (the "Borrower"), and John C. Wooley and
Jeffrey J. Wooley (collectively, the "Lender").

                                    RECITALS:

         The Borrower is legally obligated to pay that certain promissory note
(the "Note") in the original principal amount of Two Million Five Hundred
Thousand and no/100 ($2,500,000.00), less certain expenses, dated November 14,
2003, executed by the Borrower, payable to the order of the Lender, and secured
by the Collateral Agreements (as defined in the Note). The Collateral Agreements
include the Security Agreement dated of even date with the Note.

         Pursuant to that certain Subordination Agreement dated December 29,
2003, between NS Associates I, Ltd., Borrower, Lender and other parties, certain
of Lender's rights under this Agreement and the Note have been subordinated and
are subject to certain limitations until the terms of the Subordination
Agreement are either released or terminated (the "Subordination End-Date").

         The Borrower and Lender now desire to modify certain terms of the Note
and to extend and carry forward the liens created by the Collateral Agreements.

                                   AGREEMENTS:

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements of the Lender and
the modification of other terms of the Note as hereinafter set forth by the
Lender as the legal owner and holder thereof, the Borrower and the Lender hereby
agree as follows:

         1.       The Borrower hereby renews the Note and indebtedness
represented thereby and promises to pay to the order of the Lender at 203
Colorado, Austin, Travis County, Texas, Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and
no/100 ($2,500,000.00), or the outstanding principal amount advanced under the
Note, whichever is less, together with interest on the outstanding portion
thereof for the period such amounts are unpaid prior to the Maturity Date (as
defined in Paragraph 2(a) below) at the Applicable Interest Rate (as defined
below) as set forth herein.

                  (a)      Prior to maturity, the term "Applicable Interest
                           Rate" means a varying rate per annum equal to the sum
                           of the Index (hereinafter defined) and 250 basis
                           points. After maturity, the term "Applicable Interest
                           Rate" means a varying rate per annum equal to the
                           lower of (y) sum of the Index plus 500 basis points

<PAGE>

                           (but never less than 6% per annum) or (z) the Maximum
                           Lawful Rate. The rate per annum at which interest
                           accrues hereunder shall be adjusted without notice to
                           the Makers on the effective date of any change in the
                           Index or the Maximum Lawful Rate, as the case may be.

                  (b)      The term "Index" means the annual lending rate of
                           interest announced from time to time by J.P. Morgan
                           Chase & Co., New York, New York, as its prime rate,
                           or in the event no such rate is announced, then a
                           comparable rate reasonably selected by the Payee and
                           specified in a written notice to the Makers. The
                           Index in effect as of November 14, 2003 (the date the
                           Note was printed) was 4.0%. The Makers understand
                           that the Index may not be the lowest rate of interest
                           charged to or paid by customers of the Payee or of
                           any financial institution, that the Index is not
                           necessarily more favorable than another rate or
                           index, and that rates on other loans or credit
                           facilities may be based on indices other than the
                           Index.

                  (c)      Matured unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the
                           Maximum Lawful Rate (as defined in the Note).

         2.       The Note as modified hereby, is due and payable as follows,
to-wit:

                  (a)      Principal shall be due and payable in monthly
                           installments of Seventy-eight Thousand One Hundred
                           Twenty Five and 00/100 Dollars ($78,125.00) each,
                           payable on the 15th day of each and every calendar
                           month, beginning May 15, 2004 and continuing
                           regularly thereafter until the earlier of December
                           15, 2006 (the "Maturity Date") or the Subordination
                           End-Date.

                  (b)      Interest shall be due and payable on the 15th day of
                           each and every calendar month, beginning February 15,
                           2004 and continuing regularly thereafter until the
                           Maturity Date or the Note is paid in full.

                  (c)      Interest shall be calculated on the unpaid principal
                           to the date of each installment paid and the payment
                           made credited first to the discharge of the interest
                           accrued and the balance to the reduction of the
                           principal.

                  (d)      The entire amount hereof, principal and interest
                           remaining unpaid, shall be due and payable in full on
                           the earlier of the Maturity Date or the Subordination
                           End-Date.

         3.       The Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by
the Lender in connection with the preparation, execution, performance, delivery
and enforcement of the this Agreement and any other documents related thereto,
including without limitation the fees and expenses of Lender's counsel incurred
and to be incurred by the Lender.

                                       2
<PAGE>

         4.       The Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms the liens created by
the Collateral Agreements until the Note as so modified has been fully paid and
all obligations performed or paid, and agrees that such modification shall in no
manner affect or impair the Note or the liens created by the Collateral
Agreements and that the liens created by the Collateral Agreements shall not in
any manner be waived, the purpose of this Agreement being simply to modify the
time of payment and the terms of payment of the Note and to carry forward all
liens securing the same, which the Borrower hereby acknowledges to be valid and
subsisting. It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall
not constitute a novation and shall in no way adversely affect or impair the
priority of the liens created by the Collateral Agreements.

         5.       The Borrower agrees that all terms and provisions of the Note
and of the Collateral Agreements shall be and remain in full force and effect as
therein written, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. The Borrower
represents and warrants to the Lender that the Note and the Collateral
Agreements are not in default after giving effect to this extension and renewal
thereof and that there are no defenses, offsets or counterclaims to or against
either the Note or the Collateral Agreements.

         6.       It is the intention of the Borrower and the Lender to conform
strictly to the applicable laws of usury. All agreements and transactions among
the Borrower and the Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether
contained herein or in any other instrument, and whether written or oral, are
hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether
by reason of acceleration of the maturity hereof, late payment, prepayment,
demand for prepayment or otherwise, shall the amount contracted for, charged or
received by the Lender from the Borrower for the use, forbearance, or detention
of the principal indebtedness or interest hereof, which remains unpaid from time
to time, exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. Any
interest payable hereunder or under any other instrument relating to the loan
evidenced hereby that is in excess of the legal maximum, shall, in the event of
acceleration of maturity, late payment, prepayment, demand or otherwise, be
applied to a reduction of the principal indebtedness hereof and not to the
payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of
such principal, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. To the extent not
prohibited by law, determination of the legal maximum amount of interest shall
at all times be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading all
interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from the Borrower in
connection with the loan in equal parts during the period of the full term of
the loan evidenced hereby until repayment in full of the principal (including
the period of any renewal or extension hereof), so that the actual rate of
interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum amount
permitted under applicable law.

         7.       The Borrower, and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties of
the Note (collectively, the "Obligated Parties") severally waive presentment for
payment, demand, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest
and notice of protest, and of dishonor and diligence in collecting and the
bringing of suit against any other party, and agree to all renewals, extensions,
partial payments, releases, subordinations and substitutions of security, in
whole or in part, with or without notice, before or after maturity. The failure
by the Lender to exercise any of its rights, remedies, recourses, or powers upon
the occurrence of one or more defaults shall not constitute a waiver of the
right to exercise the same or any other right, remedy, recourse, or

                                       3
<PAGE>

power at any subsequent time in respect to the same or any other default. The
acceptance by the Lender of any payment hereunder which is less that payment in
full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not
constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any of the Lender's rights,
remedies, recourses, or powers at that time, or any subsequent time, or nullify
any prior exercise of any such right, remedy, recourse or power without the
written consent of the Lender, except as and to the extent otherwise required by
applicable law.

         8.       NO OTHER AGREEMENTS. THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE AND THE
COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY
NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL
AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE
PARTIES.

             MODIFICATION, EXTENSION AND RENEWAL OF PROMISSORY NOTE

$1,000,000.00                                             As of January 16, 2004

      For value received, the undersigned (the "Makers," whether one or more),
promise to pay to the order of JOHN C. WOOLEY AND JEFFREY J. WOOLEY (the
"Payee"), at 203 Colorado, Austin, Travis County, Texas 78701, or such other
location as the Payee designates to the Makers in writing, the principal sum of
ONE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00), or the outstanding principal
amount advanced hereunder, whichever is less, in legal and lawful money of the
United States of America, with interest thereon from the date hereof through the
maturity date of this Note (whether by acceleration or otherwise) (the "Maturity
Date") at the rate of six percent (6.0%) per annum (calculated on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed but computed as if each year consisted of 360
days), the interest being payable as hereinafter specified. After the Maturity
Date until paid, unpaid principal and accrued unpaid interest shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18%),
or (ii) the Maximum Lawful Rate. As used herein, the term "Maximum Lawful Rate"
shall mean the greater of (i) the highest non-usurious rate of interest
permitted by applicable United States law, or (ii) a rate per annum equal to the
applicable weekly ceiling described in Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as
amended, as such indicated rate ceiling is in effect from time to time, but in
no event greater than twenty-four (24.0%) per annum. Unless precluded by law,
changes in the Maximum Lawful Rate created by statute or governmental action
during the term of this Note shall be immediately applicable to this Note on the
effective date of such changes. If the applicable law ceases to provide for a
Maximum Lawful Rate, the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be equal to eighteen percent
(18%) per annum, unless the loan evidenced by this Note is subject to Regulation
Z of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C. F. R. Section
226 and is secured by a dwelling, in which case the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be
equal to twenty-four percent (24.0%) per annum.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time, the rate of interest
applicable to this Note (but for the limitation thereof to the Maximum Lawful
Rate) exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, the rate of interest to accrue on this
Note shall be limited to the Maximum Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions
in such rate of interest applicable to this Note (but for the limitation thereof
to the Maximum Lawful Rate) shall not reduce the rate of interest to accrue on
this Note below the Maximum Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest which
would have accrued if a varying rate per annum equal to the rate of interest
applicable to this Note (but for the limitation thereof to the Maximum Lawful
Rate) had at all times been in effect.

      If the Maximum Lawful Rate is increased by statute or other governmental
action subsequent to the date hereof, then the Makers agree that the new Maximum
Lawful Rate will be applicable hereto from the effective date of the new Maximum
Lawful Rate, unless such application is precluded by statute or governmental
action or by the general law of the jurisdiction governing the transaction
evidenced hereby.

                                       1

      This Note is in renewal, extension, rearrangement and modification, but
not extinguishment, of that one certain Modification, Renewal and Extension of
Promissory Note ("Second Renewed Note") between Maker and Payee dated effective
October 31, 2003, and one certain Modification, Renewal and Extension of
Promissory Note ("First Renewed Note") between Maker and Payee dated effective
August 8, 2003, which renewed and extended the term of (but did not extinguish)
that certain Promissory Note (the "Original Note") in the original principal
amount of $1,000,000.00 between Maker and Payee dated effective April 8, 2003.
The only change the parties wish to make to the Second Renewed Note is to extend
the maturity date from January 16, 2004, to April 16, 2004. The parties intend
all other terms and the security for this indebtedness to remain the same. The
Original Note, First Renewed Note and Second Renewed Note are referred to herein
collectively as the "Renewed Notes".

TERMS OF PAYMENT:

      The entire amount of this Note, principal and accrued interest then
remaining unpaid, shall be due and payable on April 16, 2004. Interest shall be
calculated on the unpaid principal to the date each installment is paid and each
such payment shall be credited to the discharge of the interest accrued, the
reduction of principal, and other authorized charges, if any, in such manner and
order as the Payee shall determine in its sole discretion.

PAYMENT ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS:

      If any payment hereunder falls due on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday
on which commercial banks in Austin, Texas are permitted or required by law to
be closed, the time for such payment shall be extended to the next day on which
the Payee is open for business, and such extension of time shall be included in
the calculation of interest accruing and payable hereunder.

PREPAYMENT:

      The Makers reserve the right to prepay this Note in any amount at any time
prior to maturity without penalty. Interest shall be calculated on the unpaid
principal to the date of any prepayment and any such prepayment shall be applied
first toward the payment of accrued interest and next to the principal
installments of this Note in the inverse order of maturity.

SECURITY FOR PAYMENT:

      Payment of this Note is secured by, and this Note is entitled to the
benefits of, all security agreements, assignments, deeds of trust, mortgages and
lien instruments executed by the Makers (or any of them), or other similar
instruments, guaranties, endorsements or other agreements, executed by any other
person or entity (the "Collateral Agreements," whether one or more) to secure,
guarantee or otherwise provide for the payment hereof, in favor of or for the
benefit of the Payee, including any previously executed and any now or hereafter
executed. Without limiting the foregoing, the Makers ratify and confirm that the
Collateral Agreements include, and this Note is entitled to the

                                       2
<PAGE>
benefits of "Indebtedness" under, that certain Security Agreement dated as of
April 8, 2003, executed by the Makers and Payee covering certain of the Makers'
personal property.

USE OF PROCEEDS:

      The Original Note, as modified by the Renewed Notes, represents funds
advanced to the Makers at the Makers' special instance and request and used to
provide working capital for the Makers.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES:

      The Makers expressly represent and warrant to the Payee that it is a
corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Texas;
that it possesses full power and authority to own its property and to conduct
its business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted; that
the execution and delivery of this Note will not contravene any provisions of
its articles incorporation, bylaws or any other agreement relating to its form
of entity; that the officer executing this Note is the legally qualified and
acting officer of said corporation and is expressly authorized to execute this
Note by appropriate resolution of the Board of Directors of said corporation.

LIMITATION OF INTEREST:

      All agreements and transactions among the Makers and the Payee, whether
now existing or hereafter arising, whether contained herein or in any other
instrument, and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that in
no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of the
maturity hereof, late payment, prepayment, or otherwise, shall the amount of
interest contracted for, charged or received by the Payee from the Makers for
the use, forbearance, or detention of the principal indebtedness or interest
hereof, which remains unpaid from time to time, exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate,
it particularly being the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to
the applicable usury laws of the State of Texas (or applicable United States law
to the extent that it permits the Payee to contract for, charge or receive a
greater amount of interest than under Texas law). Any interest payable hereunder
or under any other instrument relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby that
is in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, shall, in the event of acceleration of
maturity, late payment, prepayment, or otherwise, be applied to a reduction of
the unrepaid indebtedness hereunder and not to the payment of interest, or if
such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of such unrepaid
indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to the Makers. To the extent not
prohibited by applicable law, determination of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall at
all times be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal
parts during the full term of this loan, all interest at any time contracted
for, charged or received from the Makers in connection with this loan, so that
the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform
throughout the term thereof.

respective successors and assigns.

Note, or any part hereof, principal or interest, as the same shall become due
and payable, or upon default in the performance of or compliance with any of the

evidenced hereby shall be matured, and in the event default is made in the
prompt payment of this Note when due or declared due, and the same is placed in
the hands of an attorney for collection, or suit is brought on the same, or the

is sent by the Payee within which to cure such default prior to the Payee's
being entitled to exercise any remedy which may arise due to the occurrence of
such default, other than the right to withhold making further advances of funds
during the period any such default remains uncured. However, nothing herein
shall obligate the Payee to give the Makers more than one (1) notice of default
during any ninety (90) day period. The provisions of this paragraph shall
control over any inconsistent provision in any of the Collateral Agreements; and
any right to accelerate the maturity of this Note contained in any of the
Collateral Agreements is subject to prior compliance with this paragraph.

diligence in collecting and the bringing of suit against any other party, and
agrees to all renewals, extensions, partial payments, releases and substitutions
of security, in whole or in part, with or without notice, before or after
