(collectively the "Co-Obligors" and individually a "Co-Obligor"),
jointly and severally, and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., successor to
NATIONSBANK, N.A., successor to NATIONSBANK OF TENNESSEE, N.A., a
national banking association ("Bank of America") and FIRST UNION
NATIONAL BANK, a national banking association ("First Union") (Bank of

and collectively referred to as the "Lenders") and BANK OF AMERICA,
N.A., successor to NATIONSBANK, N.A., successor to NATIONSBANK OF
TENNESSEE, N.A., a national banking association, as administrative

                        W I T N E S S E T H

	WHEREAS, on September 24, 1998, the Borrower, the Co-Obligors,
Bank of America and First Union entered into that certain Loan
Agreement, which was amended by a First Amendment to Loan Agreement
entered into the 28th day of April, 1999, to be effective March 24,
1999, and a Second Amendment to Loan Agreement dated August 31, 1999,
which was amended by a Third Amendment to Loan Agreement dated November
12, 1999, which was amended by a Fourth Amendment to Loan Agreement
dated December 3, 1999 (the "Loan Agreement");  and,

	WHEREAS, included in the collateral securing the obligations owed
to the Lenders under the Loan Documents (collectively, the
"Obligations") are a restaurant in Florence, Kentucky ("Florence
Property"), a restaurant located in Boardman, Ohio, ("Boardman
Property") and the Borrower's and Co-Obligors' headquarters building
located in West Palm Beach, Florida ("Headquarters Building"); and,

	WHEREAS,  Borrower and Co-Obligors wish to sell the Florence
Property, the Boardman Property and the Headquarters Building and
Borrower, Co-Obligors and Lenders have agreed on the disposition of the
proceeds of such sales payable to Lenders, on the one hand, and Borrower
and Co-Obligors, on the other hand; and,

	WHEREAS, Lenders, Borrower and Co-Obligors have entered into this
Agreement to provide for the disposition of such proceeds following the
sale and for other matters.

	NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to cause Lenders to deliver
releases of the mortgages encumbering the Florence Property, Boardman
Property and the Headquarters Building and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged,
the parties agree as follows:

	1.	Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning
contained in the Loan Agreement.

<PAGE>  Exhibit 10.33-Pg. 1

	2.	Concurrently with the mutual execution and delivery of this
Agreement, Lenders shall deliver Releases for the mortgages held by them
on the Florence Property, Boardman Property and the Headquarters
Building on the condition that the title company closing each sale wire
transfers the Net Proceeds (as defined below) of each such sale to Agent
to be then applied to the Obligations in the manner provided in the Loan
Agreement and the Notes.  The mortgage on the Florence Property will be
released upon the wire transfer to Agent of the greater of One Million,
Two Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand, Dollars ($1,295,000.00) or the Net
Proceeds of this sale.  The mortgage on the Boardman Property will be
released upon the wire transfer to Agent of the greater of One Million,
Eighty-Nine Thousand Dollars ($1,089,000.00) or the Net Proceeds of this
sale.  The mortgage on the Headquarters Building will be released upon
the wire transfer to Agent of Four Million, Four Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($4,450,000.00) less the proceeds wired to Agent on account of
the sales of the Boardman and Florence Properties.  It is estimated that
from the Net Proceeds of  sale of the Headquarters Building
approximately Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) will
remain, which amount shall be wire transferred by the title company
closing such sale to an account designated by Borrower and Co-Obligors
(the "Borrower's Share of Net Proceeds").  To the extent that the Net
Proceeds from the Headquarters Building are in excess of Seven Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00), the excess shall be wired to
Agent.  In each sale, the "Net Proceeds" will be calculated after
deducting customary and reasonable closing costs, brokerage commissions,
pro rations and release fees to CIT.

	The foregoing paragraph assumes that the sale of the Headquarters
Property closes after the sale of both the Florence Property and
Boardman Property close (the "Assumed Closing Order").  If the sequence
of the closings of the three property sales is other than the Assumed
Closing Order, the parties agree that Lenders are to receive the first
Four Million, Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($4,450,000.00), the
Borrower and Co-Obligors are to receive directly through the applicable
title company the next Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($750,000.00) and the Lenders are to receive any Net Proceeds in excess
of Five Million, Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,200,000.00).  If, by
virtue of the order of closings and the form of releases provided by the
Lenders, the Lenders receive more than the first Four Million, Four
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($4,450,000.00), Lenders agree to
immediately wire transfer any such excess Net Proceeds up to Seven
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) to Borrower and Co-
Obligors.

	3. 	The Borrower's Share of Net Proceeds shall be held by
Borrower for the purpose of funding a deposit to Borrower's new food
vendor, P.Y. Monarch.  Borrower and Co-Obligors agree to use such funds
only for this purpose.

	4.	To induce the Lenders to release to the Borrower and Co-
Obligors the Borrower's Share of Net Proceeds, Borrower and Co-
Obligors shall, concurrently with the mutual execution and delivery of
this Agreement, execute and deliver first priority mortgages on
Borrower's and/or Co-Obligors' restaurant properties located in Grand
Rapids, Michigan (the "Grand Rapids Mortgage"), and Vandalia, Ohio
(the "Vandalia Mortgage").  If the sale of the Headquarters Building
does not close or if Borrower does not receive the Borrower's Share of
Net Proceeds for any other reason by January 20, 2001, Lenders shall
release the Grand Rapids Mortgage.  Borrower may also request that
Lenders release the Vandalia Mortgage, in which case the forbearance
under Paragraph 5 shall terminate.  The Lenders shall be obligated to
release the Grand Rapids Mortgage and, if requested to do so by the
Borrower, the Vandalia Mortgage even if the Borrower and Co-Obligors

<PAGE>  Exhibit 10.33-Pg. 2

are in default under the Loan Documents at the time of the request.
The Grand Rapids Mortgage and the Vandalia Mortgage (collectively, the
"Mortgages") will secure all obligations owed to the Lenders and shall
be in substantially the same form as those previously delivered to
Lenders and shall be subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grand Rapids Mortgage shall be
released by Lenders upon a payment to Lenders in immediately available
federal funds by wire transfer of an amount equal to the Borrower's
Share of Net Proceeds, plus interest on such amount from the date of
this Agreement until the date of the release, which interest shall
accrue and be computed at the non-default rate of interest contained
in the Loan Documents (the "Grand Rapids Release Price").  The Lenders
shall be obligated to release the Grand Rapids Mortgage upon receipt
of the Grand Rapids Release Price even if the Borrower and Co-Obligors
are in default under the Loan Documents at the time of the sale.

	5. 	Lenders contend that Borrower and Co-Obligors are in default
under the Loan Agreement and Notes in the following respects
(collectively, the "Default"):  (a) the failure to make payments of
principal and interest on the Notes from and after the installment due
on July 1, 2000; (b) the failure to comply with the financial covenants
contained in Sec. 36 of the Loan Agreement; (c) the Default by Borrower and
Co-Obligors under their Loan Agreement with CIT; and (d) Borrower's and
Co-Obligors' defaults under their subordinated 6 _ public bonds.  In
consideration of the provisions of this Agreement, Lenders agree to
forbear from  exercising rights against the Borrower and Co-Obligors as
a result of such Default until the date (the "Forbearance Date") which
is the first to occur of the following:  a) March 31, 2001; b) the
filing of a petition under any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Code by or
against Borrower or  any Co-Obligor; c) a material breach by any
Borrower or Co-Obligor of any provision of this Agreement which is not
cured within ten (10) business days following Borrower's and Co-
Obligors' receipt of written notice thereof from Lenders; provided,
however, in the event Borrower and/or Co-Obligors cure the Default,
Lenders shall have no further right or remedy against Borrower
whatsoever in connection with or by reason by such Default; or (d) the
release of the Mortgages by Lenders pursuant to the provisions of
Paragraph 4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this forbearance shall not
prohibit Lenders from re-advertising foreclosure sale of Borrower and/or
Co-Obligors' properties located in Davidson County, Tennessee, so long
as the sale is scheduled for April 1, 2001, or later.  Pending the
Forbearance Date, the failure of Borrower and Co-Obligors to make
scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Notes and other
payments under the Loan Documents (other than the payments provided for
in Paragraph 8) shall not be a Default under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Lenders
agree that any representation or warranty in the Loan Agreement or any
related document that is not true as of the date of this Agreement and
any covenant or other undertaking or obligation of which the Borrower
and/or Co-Obligors are in breach as of the mutual execution and delivery
of this Agreement or of which they would be in breach by reason of
matters existing on such date upon the giving of notice from Lenders,
the passage of time or both shall for purposes of this Agreement be
deemed one of the defaults comprising the Default (i.e., it shall not be
considered a default which would entitle Lenders to exercise any right
or remedy under the Loan Agreement or any related document prior to the
Forbearance Date).

	6. 	Borrower and Co-Obligors shall provide to Lenders the
following information during the term of this Agreement:

<PAGE>  Exhibit 10.33-Pg. 3

		(a) 	Weekly reports of store operations;

		(b) 	Monthly accounts payable aging within fifteen (15)
days of the end of each month, starting with the November 30,
2000, report;

		(c) 	A report as to the current status of any defaults
under agreements with any secured creditors and a supplemental report in the
future in the event any default occurs.  In addition, such report will show
the current balance owed to each secured creditor and a general description
of the collateral securing this obligation;

		(d) 	Copies of any executed letters of intent,
commitment letters or contracts signed by the Borrower and/or Co-Obligors
from and after December 1, 2000, (other than those relating to Boardman,
Florence and the Headquarters Building) for the sale, sale-leaseback,
disposition or refinance of any real property or any material personal
property of any Borrower and/or Co-Obligor, provided, however, that Lenders
shall execute a confidentiality agreement with respect to the information to
be provided under this subparagraph if requested by any third party;

		(e) 	Monthly unaudited financial statements for the
Borrower and Co-Obligors within fifteen (15) days of the end of each month
beginning with the November 30, 2000, statements and the unaudited year-end
financial statement by February 15, 2001;

		(f) 	Weekly cash flow reports showing changes in cash
position to be provided within a week of the close of the prior week.

	7. 	Borrower and Co-Obligors agree to allow Lenders or their
agents reasonable access to Borrower's and Co-Obligors' books and
records and to the restaurants.  Access to the restaurants will be for
the purposes of inspecting collateral and/or performing appraisals.
Access to the restaurants will be upon reasonable notice to the Borrower
and Co-Obligors and scheduled and conducted in such a way as to not
disrupt the business or operations of the restaurants.

	8.	Borrower and Co-Obligors agree to promptly reimburse Lenders
for all un-reimbursed legal fees and expenses recoverable by Lenders
under the terms of the Loan Agreement as of the date of this Agreement
in an aggregate amount not to exceed Fifty-Five Thousand Dollars
($55,000.00); provided that if Borrower does not receive Borrower's
Share of Net Proceeds, this reimbursement obligation will be deferred to
the Forbearance Date.

        9.      This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Tennessee.  This Agreement shall be deemed to be
an amendment to the Loan Agreement, the terms of which, as amended, are
ratified and affirmed by the parties effective the date hereof,
provided, however, that Borrower and Co-Obligors are not (i) ratifying
or affirming any representations or warranties made in the Loan
Agreement which are not true as of the date of this Agreement; or (ii)
agreeing to perform any covenant, undertaking or other obligation under
the Loan Agreement of which the Borrower and/or Co-Obligors are in
default as of the mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement or of
which they would be in default by reason of matters existing on such
date upon the giving of notice by Lenders, the passage of time or both.

<PAGE>  Exhibit 10.33-Pg. 4

        10.     This Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts and
will be effective when each party has signed a counterpart.

	IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this  Agreement to
be effective the day and year first above written.

7.Attorneys' Fees.  In event of any arbitration or litigation concerning any
controversy, claim, or dispute between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
the breach or the interpretation hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the
