                                 GENERAL TERMS

THIS SECTION SETS OUT IN MORE DETAIL THE BASIS ON WHICH WE MAKE FACILITIES
AVAILABLE TO YOU. IT COVERS ISSUES SUCH AS HOW LIMITS AND INTEREST ARE
CALCULATED, HOW WE CAN VARY AGREED TERMS AND WHAT WE MEAN BY "ON DEMAND".

These General Terms apply to all on demand facilities listed in the Advice of
Borrowing Terms (the "AOBT"), but do not apply to those facilities which are
subject to separate documentation, unless such documentation expressly
incorporates these General Terms. In cases where the expression "you" includes
more than one person (for example joint account holders) it shall be taken to
refer to all or any one or more of you, and your obligations shall be joint and
several.

--       INDEPENDENT ADVICE. Unless we expressly agree in writing to do so we do
         not hold ourselves out as providing advice on or considering the
         general suitability of facilities for your particular circumstances
         (including tax) and neither we nor our employees shall be liable for
         any indications given as to such suitability. We make no warranties or
         representations about the advisability of any underlying transaction
         entered into by you. You should obtain independent professional advice
         on such matters, and upon any security or guarantee required by us.

--       ACCEPTANCE. Any offer of a facility must be accepted within the time
         period specified in the AOBT. We may, at our option, repeal any usage
         of any of these facilities as acceptance (without amendment) of the
         terms and conditions of the AOBT.

--       AVAILABILITY. Our normal practice is to review all credit facilities
         periodically. Any reference in the AOBT to a review of, or availability
         until, a future date are merely indicative of our current intention,
         and we may, at our discretion, review on demand facilities at an
         earlier date. Facilities which are not loans or overdrafts are offered
         on the basis that there is no commitment on our part to enter into any
         such facility with you. We may, at our absolute discretion, decide
         whether a utilisation may be made and any conditions subject to which
         utilisations may be made.

--       REPAYMENT. Notwithstanding any reference to review or availability or
         repayment term in the AOBT, all facilities are repayable on demand
         which we may make at our sole discretion at any time and may by notice
         be withdrawn reduced or made subject to (further) conditions or
         otherwise varied. You must ensure that we receive by way of repayment,
         the full amount of any indebtedness irrespective of any taxes, duties
         or charges, in immediately available funds in the currency in which the
         facility is outstanding at the branch or office where the facilities
         are provided.

--       VARIATION AND WAIVER. We may vary these General Terms by giving one
         month's written notice to you. If a change in any currency of the
         United Kingdom occurs (including introduction of the euro), the AOBT
         and these General Terms will be amended to the extent we specify to
         reflect the change in currency and put us in the same position, so far
         as possible, that we would have been in if no change in currency had
         occurred. If we refrain from exercising any of our rights this shall
         not preclude us from exercising any rights at a later date.

--       LIMITS. The limits specified in the AOBT or the Facility Schedule for
         each facility and/or each account (including any Group or Composite
         Facility limits) must not at any time be exceeded. In addition, the
         aggregate utilisation of any Composite and/or Group Limit specified for
         any group of accounts and/or facilities must not be exceeded,
         notwithstanding the total of any individual or sub limits allocated. If
         we have agreed that there will be a gross limit for one or more
         facilities, the means that the aggregate utilisation of those
         facilities must not at any time exceed the gross limit. If we have
         agreed that there will be a net limit for one or more facilities, this
         means that the aggregate utilisation at those facilities, less the
         aggregate amount of the cleared credit balances on the accounts
         specified by us in the AOBT, will not exceed the net limit (if no
         accounts are specified we may determine which accounts are utilised for
         this purpose). We are not obliged to allow or continue to allow any
         borrowing in excess of agreed facilities. Any reference to a particular
         account will include any successor account.

--       INTEREST. All interest rates are variable. Interest is payable monthly
         or quarterly (as detailed in the AOBT) on our usual charging days and
         on final repayment of the indebtedness. Interest accrues on the daily
         cleared debit balance on the account(s) concerned at the annual rate or
         rates shown in the AOBT (both before and after demand and/or
         judgement). It is calculated on the basis of a 365 day year for
         sterling (and either a 365 or 360 day year for currencies other than
         sterling or on such other basis as we may from time to time specify)
         and the actual number of days elapsed and is compounded monthly or
         quarterly. Our variable unarranged borrowing rate for the relevant
         currency will apply to any indebtedness from time to time (i) in excess
         of agreed facilities or (ii) outstanding after the expiry date of
         agreed facilities or, in respect of (i) only such other interest rate
         as we may specify.

--       CHANGES TO INTEREST. We may alter the basis on which interest is
         calculated including the size of the interest margin charged over our
         Base Rate or other published rate and/or the amount of any regular
         repayments of facilities which are repayable on demand by providing you
         with one month's written notice. As a change in our Base Rate or other
         variable rate is not an alteration of the basis upon which interest is
         calculated, no written notice need by given of such a change. Changes
         in our Base Rate or other published rates take effect when made.
         Details of current rates are available from any branch or office, and
         are published in selected national newspapers. Omission to publish
         details of any change in a newspaper shall not stop the change from
         taking effect. For a currency account, written notice of changes to the
         relevant Currency Base Rate will normally be given, although failure to
         do so will not stop the change taking effect when made.

--       FEES. Fees quoted exclude charges for money transmission or similar
         services which are either advised (i) separately, or (ii) at the time a
         facility is used. All costs, charges and expenses incurred or suffered
         by us, including legal costs and our internal management costs, arising
         at any time in connection with any facility or with any related
         security or guarantee are payable by you on demand.

--       UNCOVERED PAYMENTS. An "uncovered payment" is a payment where the
         cleared credit balance or agreed credit facility is insufficient to
         meet that payment and all other payments requested, disregarding
         uncleared credits to that account. We do not accept any obligation to
         make uncovered payments to third parties unless we have agreed to do so
         in writing. We need not make any uncovered payment which is in excess
         of any settlement risk limit.

--       SET OFF. We may, without notice, set off against any credit balances on
         any of your account(s) (in any currency), your liability in respect of
         any facilities (including any uncovered payment) and may combine
         accounts. We are authorised to use all or any such credit balances to
         buy such other currencies as may be necessary in order to exercise any
         rights of set off to which we may be entitled.

--       APPROPRIATION AND LIEN. Where more than one debt is owing to us we may
         use the whole or any part of any repayment to reduce or discharge the
         principal amount of your indebtedness as we may select, to meet any
         accrued interest or to discharge any other liabilities to us. We shall

                                       8

<PAGE>   8
have a lien over securities of any kind and other items deposited by or on your
behalf with us (including, without limitation, cheques given to us for
selection).

--       SECURITY. Unless the AOBT expressly provides otherwise, any
         mortgage, charge or debenture must be a first legal mortgage, charge or
         debenture over the unencumbered title of the property in question. You
         may not grant (or allow to be created) without our prior written
         consent any other security interest in the property in question or part
         with possession of it. We may, at our sole discretion, require from
         time to time additional valuations (at your expense) by such valuer as
         we may approve, of any or all of the assets held by us as security.

--       ENVIRONMENT. You represent and warrant (both now and in the future)
         that you have and will comply in all material respects with any
         applicable environmental law, regulation or code of practice
         ("environmental law") and with the terms and conditions of any
         applicable environmental licences or other consents or approvals
         required by environmental law ("environmental licences").

--       INFORMATION. You must provide us with any information which we may at
         any time reasonable require, and must inform us of any material change
         of facts or circumstances. You authorise us to disclose to your
         auditors any such information concerning your accounts with us as they
         may from time to time require.

--       CURRENCY ACCOUNTS. If in our opinion deposits in a currency are
         unavailable to us at any time to fund a currency drawing then we will
         not make a drawing available in that currency. All payments (including
         interest) required to be made by you under a facility in a currency
         other than sterling must be made in the currency of the drawing (The
         "Agreed Currency") and by credit to our account with such banking
         office as we may require.

         Any amount payable by you which is received by us in a currency other
         than the Agreed Currency, will be calculated by converting (at the
         prevailing spot rate of exchange on such date and in such market as we
         shall determine as being most appropriate) the Currency so received
         into the Agreed Currency. If the amount received is less than the
         relevant amount of the Agreed Currency then you will indemnify us for
         the deficiency and for any losses we may sustain as a result. You will
         in addition pay the costs of such conversion. All payments shall be
         deemed to have been made on such date as we shall determine in
         accordance with our normal practice from time to time.

--       CURRENCY EQUIVALENTS. The Sterling/Currency Equivalent of any amount
         denominated in another currency shall be calculated by reference to the
         Bank's then current spot rate of exchange for the purchase of the
         relevant currency with the currency in which the facility is
         denominated. We may calculate the aggregate Sterling/Currency
         Equivalents of all drawings outstanding/proposed at any time to
         determine compliance or otherwise with the relevant facility limit.

--       CONTINGENT LIABILITIES. You will, on demand, pay to us an amount equal
         to the full face value of any contingent or future liabilities incurred
         by us at your request (such as letters of credit, bonds or guarantees).
         We may hold any such payment in our own name and may use it to meet
         such liabilities. You must in any event indemnify us against such
         liabilities and we will require you to execute a formal
         counter-indemnity in our standard form.

--       NEGOTIATIONS. You agree that all foreign cheques submitted to us for
         negotiation and/or collection will be dealt with on the basis that you
         have good title to all cheques and that you agree to indemnify us
         against all liabilities claims losses costs of expenses including
         exchange fluctuations and agents' charges which may be imposed upon,
         asserted against or incurred by us in any way relating to or arising
         out of the negotiation and/or collection of cheques on your behalf. If
         the cheque is subsequently returned unpaid you authorise us to debit
         your account with the amount credited to your account plus any losses,
         costs, expenses or charges which we may have incurred.

--       FORWARD EXCHANGE. Where we make a forward exchange facility available
         to you, you confirm and understand that no forward purchase or sale of
         foreign currency shall be made for investment purposes (see paragraph 8
         of Schedule 1 of the Financial Services Act 1986) without our prior
         written consent.

--       GENERAL.

         a)       Whenever facilities are subject to Part V of the Consumer
                  Credit Act 1974 additional documents and procedures may be
                  necessary before facilities can be drawn.

         b)       If we consider that any proposed payment or use of a facility
                  might be made for an unlawful purpose, then we may refuse to
                  make such a payment or allow such use.

         c)       We may give written notice or make demand by post or by hand
                  or by facsimile machine or by other form of electronic
                  communication. A notice or demand may be addressed to you at
                  your Registered Office or address or the place of business
                  last known to us and shall be deemed to have been received
                  when transmitted or (if posted) on the business day after
                  posting. We may use the facsimile number or electronic address
                  last known to us.

         d)       The relationship between us, these General Terms and the AOBT
                  are governed by English law and the English courts shall have
                  jurisdiction in respect thereof. However when we consider it
                  appropriate we may take proceedings against you in any other
                  court of competent jurisdiction (whether concurrently or not
                  with any other proceedings). These terms are in addition to
                  the usual terms which apply to the relationship between a bank
                  and its customer and to the operation of bank accounts
                  (whether in credit or debit) and to the terms of your mandate
                  with us and to all other consistent terms which may be implied
                  by law.

         e)       You must maintain a current account with us throughout the
                  life of any facilities and we may charge to your current
                  account all amounts, including interest, due in respect of any
                  facility.<PAGE>   1

                                     FORM OF
                      RARE HOSPITALITY INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                      NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

         This Stock Option Agreement ("Option Agreement") is made as of the ____
day of ______, ____ by and between RARE HOSPITALITY INTERNATIONAL, INC., a
Georgia corporation (hereinafter referred to as the "Corporation"), and
___________________, a resident of the State of ________ (hereinafter referred
to as the "Optionee").

         The Optionee is employed by the Corporation and, in connection with
such employment, the Corporation desires to grant to the Optionee an option to
purchase shares of the Corporation's no par value common stock as provided in
this Option Agreement.

         The option granted in this Option Agreement is not granted under the
Corporation's 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan or under any other stock option plan
of the Corporation; however, the option granted in this Option Agreement is
granted on the same terms as those provided in the Corporation's 1997 Long-Term
Incentive Plan and this option shall be administered by the Corporation's Stock
Option Committee in the same fashion as such committee administers options
granted under the 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

         In consideration of the services of the Optionee for the Corporation
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the Corporation and the Optionee hereby agree as
follows:

         1.       Grant of Option. The Corporation hereby grants to the Optionee
a non-qualified stock option to purchase, on the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement and to the extent applicable to this Option Agreement on the
terms of the Corporation's 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which
terms are incorporated herein by this reference, ______________ shares of the
Corporation's no par value common stock (the "Stock"), at a price of _________
per share (the "Option"). The option granted hereby is not granted under the
Plan but is granted on the same terms as provided in the Plan. Capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned such
terms in provisions of the Plan.

         2.       Vesting of Option. Unless the exercisability of the Option is
accelerated by the Corporation's Stock Option  Committee in accordance with
Article 13 of the provisions of the Plan, the Option shall vest (become
exercisable) only in cumulative periodic installments as follows:

                  (a)      During the year following the date of this Agreement,
         the Option shall be exercisable as to none of the shares subject to the
         Option;

                  (b)      During the period beginning one year after the date
         of this Agreement and for a period of one year thereafter, the Option
         shall be exercisable as to _________ of the shares described in Section
         1 above, minus the number of shares, if any, as to which the Option has
         been previously exercised;

<PAGE>   2

                  (c)      During the period beginning two years after the date
         of this Agreement and for a period of one year thereafter the Option
         shall be exercisable with respect to _________ of the shares described
         in Section 1 above, minus the number of shares, if any, as to which the
         Option has been previously exercised; and

                  (d)      During the period beginning three years after the
         date of this Agreement and for the remainder of its term, the Option
         shall be exercisable with respect to all of the shares described in
         Section 1 above, minus the number of shares, if any, as to which the
         Option has been previously exercised.

         3.       Period of Option and Limitations on Right to Exercise. The
Option will, to the extent not previously exercised, lapse under the earliest of
the following circumstances; provided, however, that the Committee may, prior to
the lapse of the Option under the circumstances described in subsections (b),
(c) and (d) below, provide in writing that the Option will extend until a later
date:

                  (a)      The Option shall lapse as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time,
         on the day immediately prior to the tenth anniversary of the date of
         grant (the "Expiration Date").

                  (b)      The Option shall lapse three months after the
         termination of Optionee's employment for any reason other than the
         Optionee's death or Disability; provided, however, that if the
         Optionee's employment is terminated by the Corporation for cause or by
         the Optionee without reason and without the consent of the Corporation,
         the Option shall lapse immediately.

                  (c)      If the Optionee's employment terminates by reason of
         Disability, the Option shall lapse one year after the date of the
         Optionee's termination of employment.

                  (d)      If the Optionee dies while employed, or during the
         three-month period described in subsection (b) above or during the
         one-year period described in subsection (c) above and before the Option
         otherwise lapses, the Option shall lapse one year after the date of the
         Optionee's death. Upon the Optionee's death, the Option may be
         exercised by the Optionee's beneficiary.

         If the Optionee or his beneficiary exercises an Option after
termination of employment, the Option may be exercised only with respect to the
shares that were otherwise vested on the Optionee's termination of employment
including vesting by acceleration by the Corporation's Stock Option Committee in
accordance with Article 13 of the provisions of the Plan.

         4.       Exercise of Option. The Option shall be exercised by written
notice directed to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A, or such other form as the Committee may approve. Such written notice shall be
accompanied by full payment in cash, shares of Stock previously acquired by the
Optionee, or any combination thereof, for the number of shares specified in such
written notice; provided, however, that if shares of Stock are used to pay the
exercise price, such shares must have been held by the Optionee for at least six
months. The Fair Market Value of the surrendered Stock as of the date of the
exercise shall be determined in valuing Stock used in payment of the exercise

                                      -2-

price. To the extent permitted under Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board,
and subject to applicable securities laws, the Option may be exercised through a
broker in a so-called "cashless exercise" whereby the broker sells the Option
shares and delivers cash sales proceeds to the Corporation in payment of the
exercise price.

         Subject to the terms of this Option Agreement, the Option may be
exercised at any time and without regard to any other option held by the
Optionee to purchase stock of the Corporation.

         5.       Limitation of Rights. The Option does not confer to the
Optionee or the Optionee's personal representative any rights of a shareholder
of the Corporation unless and until shares of Stock are in fact issued to such
person in connection with the exercise of the Option. Nothing in this Option
Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Corporation
or any Subsidiary to terminate the Optionee's employment at any time, nor confer
upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Corporation or any
Subsidiary.

         6.       Stock Reserve. The Corporation shall at all times during the
term of this Option Agreement reserve and keep available such number of shares
of Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Option
Agreement.

         7.       Optionee's Covenant. The Optionee hereby agrees to use his
best efforts to provide services to the Corporation in a workmanlike manner and
to promote the Corporation's interests.

         8.       Restrictions on Transfer and Pledge. The Option may not be
pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the
Corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary, or be subject to any lien, obligation, or
liability of the Optionee to any other party other than the Corporation or a
Parent or Subsidiary. The Option is not assignable or transferable by the
Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided,
however, that the Committee may (but need not) permit other transfers where the
Committee concludes that such transferability (i) does not result in accelerated
taxation and (ii) is otherwise appropriate and desirable, taking into account
any state or federal tax or securities laws applicable to transferable options.
The Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the
Optionee.

         9.       Restrictions on Issuance of Shares. If at any time the Board
shall determine in its discretion, that listing, registration or qualification
of the shares of Stock covered by the Option upon any securities exchange or
under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental
regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition to the exercise of the
Option, the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless and until
such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been
effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board. The
Corporation shall be responsible for (i) reasonably and promptly pursuing,
prosecuting and obtaining any listing, registration, qualification, consent or
approval required hereunder on a timely basis in accordance with all applicable
laws and (ii) all costs or expenses incurred in connection therewith.

         10.      Successors. This Option Agreement shall be binding upon any
successor of the Corporation, in accordance with the terms of this Option
Agreement and the provisions of the Plan as incorporated herein.

         11.      Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained
in this Option Agreement are invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the other
provisions of this Option Agreement will be construed and enforced as if the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included.

         12.      Notice. Notices and communications under this Option Agreement
must be in writing and either personally delivered or sent by registered or
certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Notices

Attention: Chief Financial Officer

Re:      Exercise of Non-Qualified Stock Option

         I elect to purchase ______________ shares of Common Stock of RARE
Hospitality International, Inc. ("RARE") pursuant to the RARE Hospitality
International, Inc. Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement dated ______________.
The purchase will take place on the Exercise Date which will be as soon as
practicable following the date this notice and all other necessary forms and
payments are received by RARE, unless I specify a later date (not to exceed 30
days following the date of this notice).

         On or before the Exercise Date, I will pay the full exercise price in
the form specified below (check one):

         [  ]     Cash Only: by delivering a check to RARE Hospitality
                  International, Inc. for $___________.

         [  ]     Cash and Shares: by delivering a check to RARE Hospitality
                  International, Inc. for $_________ for the part of the
                  exercise price. I will pay the balance of the exercise price
                  by delivering to RARE a stock certificate with my endorsement
                  for shares of RARE Stock that I have owned for at least six
                  months. If the number of shares of RARE Stock represented by
                  such stock certificate exceeds the number needed to pay the
                  exercise price, RARE will issue me a new stock certificate for
                  the excess.

         [ ]      Shares Only: by delivering to RARE a stock certificate with
                  my endorsement for shares of RARE Stock that I have owned for
                  at least six months. If the number of shares of RARE Stock
                  represented by such stock certificate

<PAGE>   6

                  exceeds the number needed to pay the exercise price, RARE will
                  issue me a new stock certificate for the excess.

         [ ]      Cash From Broker: by delivering the purchase price from
                  _______________________, a broker, dealer or other "creditor"
                  as defined by Regulation T issued by the Board of Governors of
                  the Federal Reserve System (the "Broker"). I authorize RARE to
                  issue a stock certificate in the number of shares indicated
                  above in the name of the Broker in accordance with
                  instructions received by RARE from the Broker and to deliver
                  such stock certificate directly to the Broker (or to any other
                  party specified in the instructions from the Broker) upon
                  receiving the exercise price from the Broker.

         Please deliver the stock certificate to me (unless I have chosen to pay
the purchase price through a broker).

                                               Very truly yours,

                                               --------------------------------
