                 without the written consent of the Client, the Contractors, the

          The Program Manager shall maintain cost records of Project costs and
          shall make such records available to the Client or the Client's

          of the Client, the Program Manager shall provide receipts and other

     7.2  The Client and the Program Manager, respectively, bind themselves,
          their partners, successors, assigns and legal representatives to the
          other party to this Agreement, and to the partners, successors,

8.   LIMITATION ON LIABILITY

                                    AGREEMENT

        This Agreement is entered into between Big Buck Brewery & Steakhouse,
Inc. ("Big Buck") and Opry Mills Limited Partnership ("Opry Mills") on this
14th day of March, 2002.

        WHEREAS, on November 9, 2000, Big Buck and Opry Mills entered into a
commercial lease (the "Lease") for 20,046 square feet of space in a one-level
building in Opry Mills (the "Demised Premises").

        WHEREAS, disputes have arisen between the parties which resulted in the
initiation of litigation by Opry Mills against Big Buck, including not only a
Complaint filed in Davidson County Chancery Court (the "Complaint"), but an
unlawful detainer warrant in Davidson County General Sessions Court (the
"Eviction Action"), which seeks both a monetary judgment for unpaid rent and
that legal possession of the Demised Premises be returned to Opry Mills. The
Complaint and Eviction Action were both removed by Big Buck to Federal Court,
and the consolidated action is now styled OPRY MILLS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP V.
BIG BUCK BREWERY & STEAKHOUSE, INC., United States Federal Court, Middle
District of Tennessee, Case No. 3:01-1417 (collectively the "Litigation").

        WHEREAS, that portion of the Litigation concerning the Eviction Action
in which Opry Mills seeks legal possession of the Demised Premises has been set
for trial on April 23, 2002 (the "Possession Trial").

        WHEREAS, while the parties are still discussing a full and complete
resolution of all of the issues raised in the Litigation, including a payment by
Big Buck to Opry Mills for a termination of the Lease and dismissal of the
Litigation with prejudice, the parties wish to reach an agreement, while
reserving all rights, with regard to Opry Mills obtaining formal legal
possession of the Demised Premises, and thus avoiding the necessity of the
Possession Trial.

        Now, therefore, for valuable consideration the parties agree as follows:

        1. Big Buck hereby agrees to grant to Opry Mills formal legal possession
of the Demised Premises as described in the Lease (the "Grant"). The parties
agree that the Demised Premises will be turned over to Opry Mills in an "as is"
condition.

        2. The parties agree that the Grant is solely for the purposes of
allowing Opry Mills to: (a) mitigate some of the damages claimed against Big
Buck; (b) attempt to re-lease the Demised Premises on behalf of Big Buck; (c) if
necessary, to make necessary improvements to the Demised Premises; and (d) avoid
the Possession Trial.

        3. Big Buck agrees that the Grant, any attempts by Opry Mills to
re-lease the Demised Premises, make any necessary improvements to the Demised
Premises, and the resolution of the Possession Trial does not in any manner or
way constitute a formal termination of the Lease.

        4. Big Buck agrees that the Grant, any attempts by Opry Mills to
re-lease the Demised Premises, make any necessary improvements to the Demised
Premises, and the resolution of the Possession Trial does not in any manner
or way waive, effect or impact any right or claim that: (a) Big Buck's
monetary obligations under the Lease remain in full force and effect and all
rent and charges payable under the Lease continue to accrue; and (b) Big
Buck's

<Page>

obligations to pay for any work or materials for the Demised Premises,
including an obligation to indemnify and defend Opry Mills from any and all
claims or actions taken by any unpaid supplier, contractor or laborers which
can trace their contracts through to Big Buck or its general contractor;

        5. Opry Mills agrees that the Grant does not in any manner or way waive,
effect or impact any claim or defense which Big Buck may have that Opry Mills,
after it has obtained possession of the Demised Premises, failed to use
reasonable efforts to mitigate to re-let the Demised Premises, failed to use
reasonable efforts to mitigate to re-let the Demised Premises. Opry Mills does
not waive any argument it has that under the terms of the Lease
(Section 15.2 (c)) any failure to re-let the Demised Premises shall not affect
Big Buck's liability.

        6. The parties agree that entering into this Agreement has created no
independent claim or cause of action, and does not constitute any admission of
liability.

        7. Upon the execution of this Agreement, Opry Mills will submit to the
Court a Notice that the portion of the Eviction Action in which Opry Mills seeks
legal possession of the Demised Premises has been resolved by agreement, thus
avoiding the necessity of the Possession Trial. However, this Notice does not,
as set out in paragraph 4 above, waive any right or claim of Opry Mills to Big
Buck's past monetary obligations under the Lease, including all rent, charges
and attorneys fees payable under the Lease.

        8. Notwithstanding the Grant, the parties hereby expressly reserve any
and all rights, claims or actions they have as it pertains to the Lease and the
Litigation.
