                           Obligations that are secured by, and the repayment
                           of which is guarantied by, as applicable, the
                           Security Documents and are entitled to all benefits
                           thereof. In no event, however, shall the Company
                           have the right to receive any Advances or Revolving
                           Loans from and after the Effective Date.
                           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement
                           to the contrary, all Revolving Loans or other
                           Advances (other than amounts outstanding under the
                           Completion Fee Note) in an aggregate principal
                           amount in excess of the Revolving Loan Limit, shall
                           be payable ON DEMAND.

                           (b)      LIBOR Advances. No LIBOR Advances shall be
                           made or remain outstanding after the Effective Date.
                           As of the Effective Date, all LIBOR Advances not
                           theretofore converted to Base Rate Advances shall be
                           deemed prepaid on the Effective Date and converted
                           to Base Rate Advances, and the Borrower shall pay to
                           the Lender such amounts to which the Lender may be
                           entitled under Section 1.8 in connection with such
                           prepayment. From and after the Effective Date, all
                           Revolving Loans, Advances and any Overadvances shall
                           constitute Base Rate Advances.

                  (b)      A new Section 1.1A is hereby added to the Credit
         Agreement immediately following Section 1.1, which shall read as
         follows:

                  under Section 22 of the First Amendment to pay to the Lender
                  a fee (the "Completion Fee") in the amount of $1,250,000,
                  which Completion Fee has been fully earned and is
                  nonrefundable, and, but for the provisions of this Section
                  1.1A, is due and payable in full as of the date hereof . The

                  amount of the Completion Fee shall be deferred as a loan to
                  the Borrower, made as of the Effective Date, in the principal
                  amount of $1,250,000, which loan shall bear interest as
                  provided in Section 1.3, shall be evidenced by the Completion
                  Fee Note, and shall be payable in full, together with all
                  accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on the Maturity Date.
                  For all purposes of each of the Loan Documents, the
                  Completion Fee Note shall constitute a Loan Document, the
                  obligations evidenced by the Completion Fee Note or otherwise
                  arising under this Section 1.1A shall constitute additional

                  Obligations, and all such Obligations shall be secured or
                  guaranteed, as applicable, by the Security Documents and

         Borrowing Mechanics and Disbursement, is hereby modified and amended
         by deleting such section in its entirety and by substituting the

                  (d)      Section 1.3 of the Credit Agreement, Interest, is
         hereby modified and amended by deleting such section in its entirety
         and by substituting the following in lieu thereof:

                           Section 1.3      Interest.  Interest shall be payable
         as follows:

                                    (a)      Calculation. Interest on all
                  Revolving Loans, Advances, Overadvances and Completion Fee
                  Outstandings shall be computed for the actual number of days
                  elapsed on the basis of a hypothetical year of 360 days and,
                  subject to the provisions of Sections 1.5 and 1.5A hereof,
                  shall be payable on the Maturity Date; provided, however,
                  that interest on Overadvances shall be payable ON DEMAND. For
                  all periods prior to the Effective Date, interest shall
                  accrue at the rate or rates provided therefor under the
                  Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to giving

                  Loans, Advances, Overadvances and Completion Fee Outstandings
                  at the simple per annum interest rate equal to the sum of (A)
                  the Base Rate, plus (B) the Applicable Interest Rate Margin.

                                    (b)      Upon Default. Upon the occurrence
                  of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding
                  Obligations shall accrue at the Default Rate from the date of
                  such Event of Default. Interest accruing at the Default Rate
                  shall be payable on demand and in any event on the Maturity
                  Date and shall accrue until the earliest to occur of (i)
                  waiver in writing by the Lender of the applicable Event of
                  Default, (ii) agreement by the Lender to rescind the charging
                  of interest at the Default Rate or (iii) payment in full of
                  the Obligations. The Lender shall not be required to (i)
                  accelerate the maturity of the Loans or (ii) exercise any
                  rights or remedies under the Loan Documents in order to
                  charge interest hereunder at the Default Rate.

                  (e)      Section 1.4 of the Credit Agreement , Fees, is hereby
         modified and amended by deleting such section in its entirety and by
         substituting the following in lieu thereof:

                  due and owing and fully earned as of the Effective Date and
                  payable at the Maturity Date or on demand upon an Event of
                  Default under the Credit Agreement. The Commitment Fee shall
                  constitute an Obligation for all purposes under the Credit
                  Agreement and shall be non-refundable when paid.

                                   (b)       Usage Fee. The Borrower shall pay

                  including Overadvances on the last Business Day of the
                  preceding month (the "Usage Fee"). The Usage Fee shall
                  constitute an Obligation for all purposes under the Credit

                                    prepayment under this Section 1.5, in the

this Second Amendment in any judicial proceedings, it shall not be necessary to
produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party
against whom such enforcement is sought. Any signatures delivered by a party by

permitted by law. Except as expressly modified hereby, the terms, conditions,

         determination, to an amount (the "Maximum Amount") equal to the greater
         of (a) fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate outstanding principal
         amount of the Startup Franchisee Loans on such date (after giving
         effect to any payments, recoveries on Collateral or other recoveries
         made by the Servicer or any Participant on such date with respect to
         the Startup Franchisee Loans), (b) three (3) times the largest

         determination exceed the aggregate outstanding Loan Indebtedness of the
         Startup Franchisee Loans. As a material inducement to the Servicer's
         and each Participant's entering into this Agreement, the parties hereto
         expressly agree that the Maximum Amount shall be redetermined (and the
         obligation of the Sponsor to pay such replenished Maximum Amount shall
         be enforceable by the Servicer and the Participants hereunder) on each
         day that any Loan Indebtedness remains outstanding pursuant to any
         Startup Franchisee Loan regardless of (i) any previous payments made by
         the Sponsor hereunder on any prior date, whether or not constituting
         the Maximum Amount payable on such prior date, or (ii) the

<PAGE>   4

         number of prior demands made by the Servicer or the Participants
         hereunder; provided that, for purposes of calculating the Maximum
         Amount, (x) any Defaulted Loan for which a demand has previously been
         made, or deemed to have been made, pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall
         not be deemed to be outstanding and (y) demand shall be deemed to have
         been made with respect to each Defaulted Loan on the date on which the
         Servicer is authorized to make a demand on the Sponsor with respect to
         such Defaulted Loan pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 4.4 of this
         Agreement unless such Loan Default arises solely from the occurrence of
         a Credit Event in which case demand shall be deemed to be made only
         upon receipt of written request from the Servicer.

         6.       Amendment to Exhibit E to Loan Facility Agreement. Section
6(i) of the form of Startup Franchisee Loan Agreement attached as Exhibit E to
the Loan Facility Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by

         the last day of the calendar quarter in which such 25th month occurs
         and on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter, the ratio of
         the Borrower's Rental Revenue to Debt Service for such quarter shall
         not be less than 2.2:1.00;
