                      Maturity Date: earlier to occur of:
                            (i) February 20, 2001; or
                           (ii) Equipment Loan Closing

                                Detroit, Michigan
                          Date of Note: August 21, 2000

INDEBTEDNESS

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, BIG BUCK BREWERY & STEAKHOUSE, INC., a
Michigan corporation, f/k/a Michigan Brewery, Inc. ("Borrower"), promises to pay
to the order of WAYNE COUNTY EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM, a body politic of the
State of Michigan ("Holder"), at its offices at 400 Monroe Street, Suite 510,
Detroit, Michigan 48226, or at such other place as the Holder hereof may
designate in writing from time to time, the principal sum of One Million Five
Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($1,500,000.00) Dollars, together with interest as
hereinafter provided, in lawful money of the United States, which shall be legal
tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of
payment, in the manner hereinafter provided.

RATE OF INTEREST

     So long as there is no default hereunder or under the Security Instruments
(as defined below), the principal balance of this Promissory Note ("Note") shall
bear interest at the rate of Eleven (11%) percent simple interest per annum
("Contract Rate") during the term of this Note.

     If Borrower does not make timely payments as provided in this Note, a late
payment fee in an amount equal to three (3%) percent of the past due amount
shall be payable in connection with any amount due under this Note that is not
received by Holder within ten (10) days of when due. In the Event of Default
hereunder or under the Security Instruments (defined below), Holder shall have
the right and option to charge interest on the then outstanding principal
balance at a default rate of Four (4%) percent in excess of the Contract Rate.

LIMITATIONS ON INTEREST RATE

     It is the intention of Borrower and Holder that the rates of interest from
time to time applicable hereunder, including all sums and charges that may
properly be deemed to constitute interest, shall not exceed the maximum lawful
rate of interest applicable to each such rate. To that end, it is agreed that
any rate of interest applicable hereunder shall not at any time exceed the rates
or amount of interest then permitted to be charged by stipulation in writing
between Borrower and Holder hereunder (the "Interest Rate Limitation").

     In the event that any rate of interest otherwise applicable hereunder
(including any sums paid independent of this Note and properly determined under
applicable law to be interest) shall exceed the Interest Rate Limitation, the
interest rate applicable to this Note shall automatically be reduced to the
applicable maximum interest rate which does not exceed the applicable Interest
Rate Limitation, and sums paid as interest which would cause any effective rate
of interest hereunder to exceed the applicable Interest Rate Limitation shall be
applied to reduce the principal balance of this Note.

MANNER OF PAYMENT

     Borrower shall make interest only payments due under this Note commencing
September 1, 2000 and continuing on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter
until the Maturity Date (as defined below). The balance of the principal amount
and all accrued but unpaid interest due under this Note shall be paid by
Borrower in a lump sum or balloon payment on the earlier to occur of (i)
Equipment Loan Closing (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) February 20, 2001 (the
"Maturity Date").

<PAGE>

Payments hereunder shall be applied in the following order of priority: late
charges, costs, expenses, accrued interest and thereafter to the reduction of
principal. This Note will not be self amortizing and instead of a substantial
lump sum balloon installment of principal and interest will be due on the
Maturity Date. For the purposes of this Note, the term "Equipment Loan Closing"
shall mean the closing and funding of a permanent loan for the financing of
equipment and fixtures to Borrower and/or Buck & Bass, L.P., an affiliate of
Borrower, with respect to its Grapevine, Texas property.

     All interest shall be payable in arrears. Interest hereon shall be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year applied to the actual number of days
elapsed. All payments of interest and principal shall be payable in lawful
currency of the United States of America.

PREPAYMENT

     Prepayment of the principal of this Note is permitted, in whole or in part,
without premium or penalty of any kind.

SECURITY

     This Note is secured by a Mortgage dated April 25, 1995 which is a Future
Advance Mortgage, as amended by that certain Amendment to Mortgage dated July
28, 1995, as further amended by that certain Second Amendment to Mortgage dated
February 4, 2000 and as further amended by that certain Third Amendment to
Mortgage dated as of the date hereof (as amended, "Gaylord Mortgage"), made by
Borrower to NBD Bank, a Michigan banking corporation, now known as Bank One,
Michigan, and as assigned to Holder, which Gaylord Mortgage encumbers certain
real property located in the City of Gaylord, Otsego County, Michigan ("Gaylord
Property"), together with improvements, personal property, collateral and rights
with respect thereto, as more particularly described therein, as well as a
separate Assignment of Real Estate Leases and Rentals with respect thereto; a
mortgage dated February 4, 2000 given by Borrower to Holder, as amended by that
certain First Amendment to Mortgage dated as of the date hereof (as amended, the
"Leasehold Mortgage") encumbering Borrower's leasehold interest in certain real
property located in the City of Auburn Hills, Oakland County, Michigan; a
Subscription and Investment Representation Agreement, a Continuing Security

Guarantees, an Assignment of Note; a Loan Modification Agreement, and other loan
and security documents delivered in connection therewith (hereinafter, all such
loan and security documents and agreements are sometimes collectively referred
to as the "Security Instruments"). Any Event of Default or default in any of the
conditions, covenants, obligations or agreements contained in any of the
Security Instruments or any other instrument securing and/or evidencing the
indebtedness of Borrower to Holder shall constitute an event default under this
Note and under that certain (i) 10% Convertible Subordinated Promissory Note due

given by Borrower in favor of Holder ("Subordinated Note") or (ii) under that
certain Amended, Restated and Consolidated Convertible Note dated February 4,
2000 in the original principal amount of $1,623,885.26, given by Borrower in
favor of Holder ("Restated Note") and shall entitle the Holder hereof to
accelerate the entire indebtedness and amounts due hereunder, under the
Subordinated Note, under the Restated Note and under the Security Instruments
and to take such other action as may be provided for in the Security
Instruments, at law or in equity. Any Event of Default or default under this
Note, the Restated Note or the Subordinated Note shall be an Event of Default or
default under each of the Security Instruments.

DEFAULT

     The unpaid principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest due under
this Note and all other amounts due hereunder or under the Security Instruments
shall become immediately due and payable at the option of Holder upon the
occurrence of any of the following (collectively, "Events of Default"):

     a.   the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of or interest on this
     Promissory Note when the same shall become due and payable, whether at the
     stated date of maturity or any accelerated date of maturity or at any other
     date fixed for payment; provided however, such failure shall not constitute
     a default if the required payment is made within five days after the date
     it first became due and payable and such failure has not occurred more than
     one (1) time in the preceding six (6) months; or

<PAGE>

     b.   any Event of Default shall occur in the Subscription and Investment
     Representation Agreement for 10% Convertible Secured Promissory Note Due
     January 2003 between Borrower and Holder of even date herewith after the
     passage of any notice and cure period set forth therein;

     c.   the Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
     admit in writing its inability to pay or generally fail to pay its debts as
     they mature or become due, or shall petition or apply for the appointment
     of a trustee or other custodian, liquidator or receiver of the Borrower or
     of any substantial part of its assets, or shall commence any case or other
     proceeding relating to the Borrower under any bankruptcy, reorganization,
     arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation
     or similar law of any jurisdiction, now or hereafter in effect, or shall
     take any action to authorize or in furtherance of any of the foregoing, or
     if any such petition or application shall be filed or any such case or
     other proceeding shall be commenced against the Borrower and the Borrower
     shall indicate its approval thereof, consent thereto or acquiescence
     therein or shall fail to contest the same in a timely manner;

     d.   an involuntary petition shall be filed or an involuntary proceeding
     shall be commenced seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief in
     respect of the Borrower or of its debts or any substantial part of its
     assets, under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency,
     readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation or similar law of any
     jurisdiction, now or hereafter in effect, and in any such case, such
     proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed for sixty (60) days or an
     order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be
     entered;

     e.   a default shall occur under the Subordinated Note or the Restated Note
     or any of the other Security Instruments (not cured within any applicable
     cure period);

then, and in any such event, so long as the same may be continuing, (A) if such
event is an Event of Default specified in Section (c) or (d) above with respect
to the Borrower, automatically all amounts owing with respect to the Agreement,
this Note, the Subordinated Note, the Restated Note and the other documents
executed in connection herewith shall become immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby expressly waived by the Borrower and (B) if such event is any other Event
of Default the Holder shall by notice in writing to the Borrower, declare all
amounts owing with respect to the Agreement, this Note, the Subordinated Note,
the Restated Note and the other Security Instruments to be, and they shall
thereupon forthwith become, immediately due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrower.

     Borrower shall pay all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in
collecting or enforcing this Note, the Subordinated Note, the Restated Note or
the other Security Instruments, whether suit be brought or not. Any failure of
Holder to exercise such option to accelerate shall not constitute a waiver of
the right to exercise such option to accelerate at any future time. Any failure
of Holder to exercise such option to accelerate shall not constitute a waiver of
the right to exercise such option to accelerate at any future time.

     Acceptance by Holder of any payment in an amount less than the amount then
due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the
entire amount then due shall be and continue to be an Event of Default or
default. At any time thereafter and until the entire amount then due has been
paid, Holder shall be entitled to exercise all rights conferred upon it in this
Note, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

     Borrower and every person and entity at any time liable for the payment of
the evidenced debt expressly authorize Holder to immediately apply to the
payment of this Note any sum of money or other property belonging to Borrower or
any such person or entity, deposited or otherwise in the hands of Holder;
provided, however, that neither this authority, nor the fact that it may not be
exercised, shall alter or modify in any manner the obligation herein incurred.

WAIVER

     Borrower, for itself and its legal representatives, successors and assigns,
and every person and entity at any time liable for the indebtedness hereunder,
or any part thereof, expressly waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of
dishonor, notice of nonpayment, notice of maturity, notice of protest,
presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, diligence in collection,
marshalling rights, subrogation rights, and any exemption under the homestead
exemption laws, if any, or any other

<PAGE>

exemption or insolvency laws. Borrower consents that Holder may release,
exchange or substitute any real estate and/or personal property or other
collateral security now held, or which may hereafter be held as security for the
payment of this Note, and may extend the time for payment or otherwise modify
the terms of payment of any part or the whole of the debt evidenced hereby.

  NASH-FINCH COMPANY
  PROFIT SHARING PLAN
  1994 REVISION         

  Sixth Declaration of Amendment         

    Pursuant to the retained power of amendment contained in Section 11.2 of the instrument entitled "Nash-Finch Company Profit Sharing
Plan—1994 Revision," the undersigned hereby amends the said instrument in the manner described below. 

	1.
	Section 3.3(A)
of the Plan is amended to read as follows: 

    3.3   Rollovers and Transfers.  

    (A) A
Participant who is a Qualified Employee may, with the prior consent of the Administrator, contribute to the Trust, within 60 days of receipt, 

    (1) the
balance of an individual retirement account to which the only contributions have been one or more "eligible rollover distributions," within the meaning of Code
section 402(c)(4), from a plan qualified under Code section 401(a), or 

    (2) an
eligible rollover distribution from such a qualified plan. 

	2.
	Section 8.1
of the Plan is amended to read as follows: 

    8.1   Form and Time of Distribution.  

    (A) Following
a Participant's termination of employment, the Trustee will distribute to the Participant or, if the Participant has died, to his or her Beneficiary, the
balance of the Participant's Accounts. The amount of any distribution made in the form of a lump sum payment will be equal to the aggregate balance of the Participant's Accounts on the day before the
distribution date. Subject to the remaining subsections of this Section 8.1 and Sections 8.7 and 8.8, distributions will be made in accordance with the following provisions. 

    (1) If
the aggregate balance of the Participant's Accounts at the time of the distribution is not more than $5000, distribution to the Participant will be made, in the
form of a lump sum cash payment, as soon as administratively practicable following the Participant's termination of employment. This clause will not apply, however, if the Participant's Account
balance exceeded $5000 at the time of any previous distribution. 

    (2) If
clause (1) does not apply, distribution to the Participant will be made or commence, in the form of a lump sum cash payment or installment cash payments,
according to the Participant's election, on or as soon as administratively practicable after a date specified by the Participant. If the Participant terminates employment before attaining age 62,
distribution to the Participant must be made or commence not later than the date on which the Participant attains age 65. If the Participant had attained age 62 when he or she terminated employment,
distribution to the Participant must be made or commence not later than the sixtieth day after the close of the Plan Year during which the Participant terminates employment or attains age 65,
whichever is later, unless the Participant elects to defer the distribution in the manner described in Subsection (B). 

    (3) If
the aggregate balance of a Participant's Accounts at the time of his or her death is not more than $5000, distribution to the Participant's Beneficiary will be
made, in the form of a lump sum cash payment, as soon as administratively practicable following the Administrator's receipt of notice of the Participant's death. If the foregoing sentence does not
apply, distribution to the Participant's Beneficiary will be made at such time or times and in such manner as the Beneficiary elects in accordance with Subsection (E). 

    (B) Subject
to the provisions of the other subsections of this Section 8.1, a Participant described in clause (2) of Subsection (A) who has attained age
62 when he or she terminates employment may elect to defer commencement of his or her distribution under the Plan by providing to the Administrator, by a date determined in accordance with Plan Rules,
a written, signed statement describing whether the benefit is to be distributed in the form of a lump sum payment or installment payments and specifying the date on which the payment is to be made or
commence; provided, that distribution to the Participant must be made or commence not later than the April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year during which the Participant attains age
701/2. Plan Rules may permit a Participant to modify any election in any manner determined by the Administrator to be consistent with Code section 401(a)(14) and Treasury
Regulations thereunder and the other provisions of this Section 8.1. 

    (C) Notwithstanding
Subsection (A)— 

    (1) Distribution
to any Participant who is a "5-percent owner," within the meaning of the Code section 416, must begin not later than April 1 of the calendar
year after the Participant attains age 701/2, whether or not the Participant has terminated employment, as if he or she had terminated employment on the last day of the Plan Year during
which he or she attained age 701/2. Once distributions have begun to a 5-percent owner under this subsection (C)(1), distributions must continue even if the Participant ceases to
be a 5-percent owner in a subsequent year. 

    (2) Distribution
to any other Participant who has attained age 701/2 after December 31, 1999 may, at the election of the Participant, begin not later
than April 1 of the calendar year after the Participant attains age 701/2 even though the Participant has not terminated employment, as if he or she terminated employment on the last
day of the Plan Year during which he or she attained age 701/2. The Participant's election must be made in accordance with and is subject to Plan Rules. The election is irrevocable
after it is received by the Administrator. 

    (3) A
Participant who attained age 701/2 before January 1, 2000, and is not a 5-percent owner may, while he or she is an Employee, elect to stop
distributions. The election must be made in accordance with and is subject to Plan Rules, must be received by the Administrator not later than a date specified in Plan Rules, and will become effective
as soon as administratively practicable after it is received by the Administrator. The election is irrevocable after it is received by the Administrator. If distributions to a Participant are stopped
pursuant to this clause, the Participant's prior elections pursuant to this section will cease to be effective and his or her benefit will recommence in accordance with the other subsections of
this Section 8.1 without regard to such prior elections following his or her subsequent termination of employment. 

    (D) If
a distribution is to be made in installments, such installments will be substantially equal in amount and paid on a quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis, for a
period not extending beyond either the Participant's life expectancy or the life expectancy of the Participant and the Participant's Beneficiary; and, if the Participant's Beneficiary is not the
Participant's spouse, the period over which such payments are to be made will be determined by reference to the applicable table of joint life expectancies set forth in Treasury Regulation
section 1.401(a)(9)-2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than once each Plan Year, a Participant who is receiving installment payments may elect, in accordance with Plan Rules, to either
increase the amount of the installment payments or to receive a lump sum payment of all or a portion of his or her remaining Account balances. Prior to the Participant's "required beginning date,"
within the meaning of Code section 401(a)(9), the Participant may elect, in writing to the Administrator, whether the life expectancies for the Participant and the Participant's spouse are to
be recalculated 

2

on an annual basis for purposes of determining the amount of each installment payment. Any such election will become irrevocable as of the date specified above. If no such election is made, the life
expectancies of the Participant and the Participant's spouse will not be recalculated on an annual basis. 

    (E) If
a Participant dies before receiving the full amount to which he or she is entitled, the amount remaining will be distributed to the Participant's Beneficiary at
such time or times and in such manner as the Beneficiary elects, subject, however to the following rules— 

    (1) If
the Participant dies after April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year during which he or she has both attained age 701/2 and
terminated employment, the distribution will be made to the Beneficiary at a rate that would result in the benefit being distributed at least as rapidly as if distribution were made at the same rate
as was in effect immediately prior to the Participant's death. 

    (2) If
the Participant dies before April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year during which he or she has both attained age 701/2 and
terminated employment, the distribution will, at the Beneficiary's election, be made either— 

    (a) in
its entirety no later than December 31 of the calendar year which contains the fifth anniversary of the date of the Participant's death, or 

    (b) in
installments, commencing no later than December 31 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died (unless the
Beneficiary is the Participant's spouse, in which case payments will begin no later than the later of the date specified above or December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have
attained age 701/2 had he or she lived), and being paid over a period not exceeding the Beneficiary's remaining life expectancy (as determined on the basis of the Beneficiary's age as
of the date on which payments are required to commence under this clause (2) and, if the Beneficiary is the Participant's spouse, as redetermined on an annual basis). 

For
purposes of this clause (2), if a Participant is a "5-percent owner" within the meaning of Code section 416, then he or she will be deemed to have terminated employment upon attaining age
701/2. 

    (3) A
Beneficiary's election with respect to the time and manner in which any amount remaining at the Participant's death will be distributed must be made no later than
the earlier of the dates set forth in clause (2)(a) and (2)(b) above, and is irrevocable following such date. If the Beneficiary fails to make an election under clause (2), distribution will be made
in the manner set forth at clause (2)(a). If the Participant's spouse is the Beneficiary and dies after the Participant's death but before distributions to such spouse have commenced, the foregoing
rules will be applied as if the surviving spouse were the Participant, including the substitution of the surviving spouse's date of death for the Participant's date of death; provided that the
alternative commencement date in clause (2)(b) relating to the date on which the Participant would have attained age 701/2 had he or she lived will not be available. 

    (F) Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, distributions will be made in accordance with Treasury Regulations issued under Code
section 401(a)(9), including Treasury Regulation section 1.401(a)(9)-2, and any provisions of the Plan reflecting Code section 401(a)(9) take precedence over any distribution
options that are inconsistent with Code section 401(a)(9). 

    The
amendment set forth at item 1 above is effective as of January 1, 1998 and applies to all Participants, including those who terminated employment before January 1, 1998. The
amendment set 

3

forth at item 2 above is effective as of April 2, 2000; provided, first that the provisions of Section 8.1(D) and 8.1(E), as amended to reflect section 1404 of the Small Business Job
Protection Act of 1996, are effective as of January 1, 1997; and, second, that the provisions of Section 8.1(C)(2) are effective as November 1, 2000. 

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this instrument to be executed by its duly authorized officers this 24th day of October,
2000.
