EXHIBIT 10.2

FIRST AMENDMENT
TO
 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

          This First Amendment to Employment Agreement (“First Amendment”) is entered into as of December 6, 2005 by and between The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and David M. Overton (the “Employee”).

          WHEREAS, the Company and the Employee have previously entered into an Employment Agreement as of December 31, 2003 (the “Employment Agreement”);

          WHEREAS, the Company and Employee each desire to amend the Employment Agreement.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company and the Employee agree as follows:

1.        Section 14 of the Employment Agreement is amended by deleting paragraph (e) in its entirety and by substituting the following new paragraph (e) in lieu thereof:

	
  
 
  	
  
          (e)   In the event that the Employee’s employment is terminated other than by   reason of death or because the Employee has become “disabled” as defined in   Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code, the Company shall make all cash payments   to which the Employee is entitled hereunder within one (1) business day   following the date that is six (6) months after the Date of Termination of   the Employee’s employment.  In the   event that the Employee’s employment is terminated by reason of the   Employee’s death or because the Employee has become disabled as defined in   Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code, the Company shall make all cash payments   to which the Employee is entitled hereunder within thirty (30) days following   the Date of Termination, provided that the Company may defer payment in the   case of the Employee’s death until the Employee’s executor or
personal   representative has been appointed and qualified pursuant to the laws in   effect in the Employee’s jurisdiction of residence at the time of the   Employee’s death.
  

2.       Section 15 of the Employment Agreement is amended by deleting it in its entirety and by substituting the following new Section 15 in lieu thereof:

	
  
 
  	
  
15.     Consulting Services.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
          (a)          If   the Employee’s full-time employment by the Company pursuant to this Agreement   is terminated for any reason, except for termination by reason of death, Permanent   Disability, for Cause, or by voluntary resignation by the Employee and   Section 14(b) is inapplicable, the Employee may elect to provide consulting   services to the Company as an independent contractor for a period of up to   120 months following notice to the Company of the Employee’s election to   provide such services.  
  

	
  
 
  	
  
Any election   to provide such services must be given to the Company within 90 days after   the Date of Termination.  If the   Employee elects to provide such services, the Company shall pay the Employee   no less frequently than monthly at an annual rate equal to 70% of Employee’s   Base Salary (defined in Section 12(c) above) (such payment shall be in   addition to, and not in lieu of, any amounts paid or payable to the Employee   pursuant to Section 14 by reason of the termination of his employment).  Employee shall provide not less than 60   hours of consulting services per month.    Notwithstanding   the foregoing, the Employee shall in no event provide services to   the Company at an annual rate that is 50% or more of the services rendered,   on average, during the immediately preceding three full calendar years of   employment.  For purposes of this   Section 15, the annual rate of providing services shall be determined based
  on the measurement used to determine the Employee’s base compensation.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
        (b)          While   providing consulting services to the Company pursuant to this Section 15, the   Employee and his dependents shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s   life, medical and dental insurance benefits that the Company has adopted or   may adopt for the benefit of its executive officers under the terms and   conditions of such insurance coverage.    If the Employee and his dependents are not eligible to participate in   such benefits pursuant to the terms of coverage, the Company will seek to   obtain substantially similar individual coverage.  The Company shall reimburse the Employee for his reasonable   business expenses incurred while providing such consulting services in   accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement and shall provide appropriate   office space and secretarial support.    The Company acknowledges that
while the Employee is providing   consulting services pursuant to this Section 15, he will be an “Eligible   Individual” under the Company’s 2001 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan as   currently in effect.  The Employee   agrees to be bound by the provisions of Section 20 during the time the   Employee provides such services (and thereafter in the case of Section   20(a)).  The consulting services and   the Company’s obligations under this Section 15 shall terminate automatically   upon the Employee’s death or Permanent Disability and may be terminated by   the Company for Cause or by the Employee for any reason.  The Date of Termination shall be determined   in accordance with Section 13(e) of this Agreement.  Within 30 days of such termination, the Company shall pay to   the Employee all accrued but unpaid consulting fees and unpaid expense   reimbursements.  Except as set forth   in this Section 15, the Employee shall not be entitled to any severance or
 other benefits compensation set forth in this Agreement with respect to any   termination of consulting services.
  

3.       Capitalized terms used without other definition in this First Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Employment Agreement.

4.       Except as modified by this First Amendment, all other terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

5.       The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this First Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of law principles.
