common stock of the Company pursuant to a certain Stock Subscription Agreement
dated as of February 18, 2000, among Buyer and the Company (the "Subscription

and Non-Competition Agreement is a condition to the closing of the Acquisition,
and the Executive acknowledges that Buyer and its investors are relying on the
covenants of the Executive contained herein in proceeding with the Acquisition.

agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. Confidentiality and Non-Competition. The Executive acknowledges that (i)
the agreements and covenants contained herein are essential to protect the
Company's business and assets and (ii) by virtue of his past association with
the Company, the Executive has obtained such knowledge, know-how, training and
experience and there is a substantial probability that such knowledge, know-how,
training and experience could be used to the substantial advantage of a
competitor of the Company and to the Company's substantial detriment. The
Executive also acknowledges that Buyer has entered into the Subscription
Agreement and will consummate the purchase contemplated thereby, and that
investors have invested in Buyer, in reliance, in part, on the covenants made by
the Executive herein.

     2. Covenant Not to Compete. The Executive agrees that, for the period
commencing on the date hereof and ending on the fifth anniversary after the date
hereof (the "Restrictive Period"), the Executive shall not, in the Territory
(hereinafter defined), directly or indirectly, either for himself or for, with
or through any other Person, own, manage, operate, control, be employed by,
participate in, loan money to or be connected in any manner with, or permit his
name to be used by, any business which is engaged in the casual dining
restaurant business (a "Competitive Activity"). For purposes of this Agreement,
the term "participate" includes any direct or indirect interest, whether as an
officer, director, employee, partner, sole proprietor, trustee, beneficiary,
agent, representative, independent contractor, consultant, advisor, provider of
personal services, creditor, owner (other than by ownership of less than five

Company"); provided, that this Section 7
           --------

<PAGE>

shall not prohibit the Executive from (i) owning a passive equity interest in an
entity (including Mach Robin LLC, a Washington limited liability company,
subject to the non-competition covenants in the Area Development Agreements and
Franchise Agreements with the Company) so long as such entity operates only
restaurants operated as "Red Robin" restaurants pursuant to franchise agreements
with the Company and (ii) so long as such activities do not adversely affect
Executive's ability to devote his entire working effort as the Chairman, Chief
Executive Officer and President of the Company so long as he is so employed,
consulting with and giving advise to entities permitted by clause (i) of this
proviso. Territory means North America and the territories of the United States
in the Caribbean, including Puerto Rico.

     3. Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. The Executive shall not
disclose to any person or entity or use, any information not in the public
domain, in any form, acquired by the Executive while he was employed or
associated with the Company or, if acquired following the termination of such
association, such information which, to the Executive's knowledge, has been
acquired, directly or indirectly, from any person or entity owing a duty of
confidentiality to the Company, relating to the Company or its business. The
Executive agrees and acknowledges that all of such information, in any form, and
copies and extracts thereof are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property
of the Company, and the Executive shall on request return to the Company the
originals and all copies of any such information provided to or acquired by the
Executive in connection with his association with the Company, and shall return
to the Company all files, correspondence and/or other communications received,
maintained and/or originated by the Executive during the course of such
association.

     4. No Interference. During the Restrictive Period, the Executive shall not,
without the prior written approval of Buyer, directly or indirectly through any
other Person (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company at the
level of assistant store manager or higher to leave the employ of the Company,
or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company and any
employee thereof, (ii) hire any Person who was an employee of the Company at the
level of assistant store manager or higher within twelve months after such
Person's employment with the Company was terminated for any reason or (iii)
induce or attempt to induce any supplier or other business relation of the
Company to cease doing business with the Company, or in any way interfere with
the relationship between any such supplier or business relation and the Company.

     5. Reasonableness of Restrictions. The Executive agrees that the covenants
set forth in Sections 2, 3 and 4 are reasonable with respect to their duration,
geographical area and scope. In the event that any of the provisions of Sections
2, 3 or 4 relating to the geographic or temporal scope of the covenants
contained therein or the nature of the business or activities restricted thereby
shall be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitral panel to
exceed the maximum restrictiveness such court or arbitral panel deems
enforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be replaced herein by the maximum
restriction deemed enforceable by such court or arbitral panel.

     6. Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto agree that Buyer and the Company
would suffer irreparable harm from a breach by the Executive of any of the
covenants or agreements

                                       2

<PAGE>

contained herein, for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in
the event of the actual or threatened breach by the Executive of any of the
provisions of this Agreement, Buyer or the Company, or their respective
successors or assigns, may, in addition and supplementary to other rights and
remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of law or equity of
competent jurisdiction for specific performance, injunctive or other relief in
order to enforce compliance with, or prevent any violation of, the provisions
hereof, and that, in the event of such a breach or threat thereof, Buyer and the
Company shall be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a
preliminary or permanent injunction restraining the Executive from engaging in
activities prohibited hereby or such other relief as may be required to
specifically enforce any of the covenants contained herein.

     7. Extension of Restricted Periods. In addition to the remedies Buyer and
the Company may seek and obtain pursuant to this Agreement, the restricted
periods set forth herein shall be extended by any and all periods during which
the Executive shall be found by a court to have been in violation of the
covenants contained herein.

     8. Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of Buyer, the Company and their Affiliates, successors and assigns, and shall be
binding upon the Executive and his legal representatives and assigns. Buyer and

Affiliates or to a successor entity in the event of merger, consolidation, or
transfer or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or of
the Business or a part thereof.

     9. Waiver and Modification. Any waiver, alteration or modification of any
of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed
by the parties hereto; provided, that any such waiver, alteration or
                       --------
modification is consented to on the Company' behalf by the Board of Directors.
No waiver by any of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed
to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrences or
transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be
construed as a continuing waiver.

     10. Severability. Whenever possible each provision and term of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision or term of this Agreement shall be held to
be prohibited by or wholly invalid under such applicable law, then (i) such
provision or term shall be ineffective only to the extent of such provision or
invalidity, without invalidating or affecting in any manner whatsoever the
remainder of such provision or term or the remaining provisions or terms of this
Agreement and (ii) the invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall be
deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that
comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term
