        SECOND AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT DATED DECEMBER 8, 2000
                                    BETWEEN
                     AFC ENTERPRISES, INC. (THE "COMPANY")
                                      AND
                            JON LUTHER ("EMPLOYEE")

     WHEREAS, the Company and Employee entered into an Employment Agreement
dated as of December 8, 2000, which was amended by that certain First Amendment
to Employment Agreement effective as of January 1, 2001, governing the terms and
conditions of Employee's employment with the Company (the "Employment
Agreement"); and

     WHEREAS, the Company and Employee desire to amend certain provisions of the
Employment Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants
contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties
agree as follows:

     1.  Section 1 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to change
"Section 8" to  "Section 8 or Section 9" in the first sentence.

     2.  Section 6.07(b) of the Employment Agreement is being revised to
eliminate provisions regarding the ability of the Chief Executive Officer or the
Board of Directors of the Company to decrease the amount of benefits being
provided. Therefore, Section 6.07(b) of the Employment Agreement is hereby
deleted in its entirety and the following new Section 6.07(b) is inserted in
lieu thereof:

         (b) Anything in Sections 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, and 6.04 to the contrary
         notwithstanding, the amount of the benefits provided for in this
         Section 6 are subject to adjustment as shall be provided for in the
         plan or insurance contract, as the case may be, pursuant to which such
         benefit is being paid and the Employee will be given written notice of
         any such change.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
         notwithstanding, the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors
         shall have full authority to make all determinations deemed necessary
         or advisable for the administration of the benefits described in this
         Section 6.  Subject to Section 12.04, the good faith interpretation
         and construction by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of
         Directors of the terms of this Section 6 or the benefit programs
         described herein shall be final, conclusive and binding on Employee.

     3.  Section 8.01(b) of the Employment Agreement is being revised to ensure
that the definition of "Disability" is consistent with the "maximum elimination
period of ninety (90) days" referred to in Section 6.03(a) of the Employment
Agreement, by amending the language to require a consecutive ninety (90) day
period of Disability.  Therefore, Section 8.01(b) is deleted in its entirety,
and the following new Section 8.01(b) is inserted in lieu thereof:
<PAGE>

         (b) Disability. The term "Disability" shall mean the good faith
         determination by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors
         of the Company that Employee has failed to or has been unable to
         perform his duties as the result of any physical or mental disability
         for a period of ninety (90) consecutive days during any one period of
         Disability.

     4.  Section 8.03 of the Employment Agreement is being revised to clarify
that: (A) the Company may terminate Employee without Cause; and (B) if Employee
is terminated for any reason (other than by death, disability, or for Cause),
including, the Company's failure to renew the Employment Agreement upon
expiration of the term, then the Employee will be entitled to certain post-
employment payments.  Therefore, Section 8.03 of the Employment Agreement is
hereby deleted in its entirety and the following new Section 8.03 is inserted in
lieu thereof:

         8.03  Termination by the Company for other than Death or Disability or
               ----------------------------------------------------------------
         for Cause.  The Company may terminate Employee's employment hereunder
         ---------
         without cause at any time, upon written notice.  If upon expiration of
         the term of this Agreement or if Employee's employment is terminated
         by the Company prior to the expiration of the term of this Agreement
         without cause or other than (i) by reason of Employee's death or
         Disability or (ii) for Cause, the Company shall pay or provide to
         Employee, in lieu of all other amounts payable hereunder or benefits
         to be provided hereunder the following: (a) a payment equal to the sum
         of one (1) times Employee's Base Salary at the time of termination;
         (b) a payment equal to one (1) times Employee's Target Incentive Pay
         for the year in which such termination occurs (or, if no Target
         Incentive Pay has been designated for such year, then the Target
         Incentive Pay for the last year in which it was designated prior to
         such termination); and (c) the acceleration of any unvested rights of
         Employee under any stock options or other equity incentive programs
         such that they shall immediately vest under the terms of such plans.
         As a condition precedent to the requirement of Company to make such
         payments or grant such accelerated vesting, Employee shall not be in
         breach of his obligations under Section 10 hereof and Employee shall
         execute and deliver to Company a general release in favor of the
         Company in substantially the same form as the general release then
         contained in the latest Severance Agreement being used by the Company.

         Any payments required to be made under this Section 8.03 shall be made
         to Employee, at the election of the Company, either within thirty (30)
         days after the date of Employee's termination of employment or, at the
         Company's election, in fifty-two (52) equal installments, payable at
         the same time and on the same basis as was the payment of Employee's
         Base Salary prior to such termination.

     5.  Section 9 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended to change "the
owners or all" to  "the owners of all" in the first sentence of subsection (a).

     6.  The Employment Agreement, as amended hereby, is hereby reaffirmed and
restated herein by the undersigned, and said Employment Agreement is hereby
incorporated herein by reference as fully as if set forth in its entirety in
this First Amendment.

                                       2

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to be executed
and Employee has hereunto set his hand this 31st day of August, 2001, effective
as of January 1, 2001.

                           INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
                           -------------------------

     THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT, dated as of May 16, 2001, is made by and
between AFC Enterprises, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), and
Gerald J. Wilkins, a director of the Company ("Director").

     WHEREAS, Director is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, it will be difficult to retain directors of the Company unless
such directors are adequately indemnified against liabilities incurred and
claims made in performance of their duties as directors of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the Company to retain such
directors by providing adequate indemnification by means of indemnification
agreements with individual directors.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Director's continued service as a
director of the Company, and as an inducement to Director to continue to serve
as a director of the Company, the Company and Director agree as follows:

     1.  Indemnification.  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold Director
         ---------------
harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments,
penalties, fines or expenses of any type whatsoever incurred by Director in or
arising out of the status, capacities or activities of Director as a director of
the Company to the maximum extent permitted under Minnesota Statutes, Section
302A.521 as in effect on the date hereof.

     2.  Advances of Expenses.  Subject to Director's execution of a written
         --------------------
affirmation, satisfactory to the Company, of the Director's good faith belief
that the criteria for indemnification have been satisfied and to repay all
amounts advanced by the Company if it is ultimately determined that the criteria
for indemnification have not been satisfied, the Company shall advance all
expenses incurred by Director in connection with the investigation, defense,
settlement or appeal of any proceeding, action or investigation to which
Director is a party or is threatened to be made a party arising out of the
status, capacities or activities of Director as a director of the Company to the
maximum extent permitted under Minnesota Statutes, Section 302.521, subd. 3 as
in effect on the date of this Agreement upon the determination by the Company
that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude
indemnification under Section 502A.521, subd. 6 within 60 days after receipt of
said written affirmation.  Director shall have a reasonable right to appear in
person and to be represented by counsel.

     3.  Other Rights of Directors.  The right of Director to indemnification or
         -------------------------
advance of expenses pursuant to this Agreement shall not be exclusive of other
rights Director may have (i) under applicable law, (ii) pursuant to other
agreements between the Company and Director or the Company's Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws, or (iii) pursuant to any agreement with a third party

<PAGE>

(by way of insurance, indemnification or otherwise).

     4.  Absolute Right to Indemnification and Advances of Expenses.  The
         ----------------------------------------------------------
Company agrees that it shall not, and the Company hereby waives all rights that
it has or may have to, refuse to indemnify or advance expenses, or withhold
payment of amounts for which Director is indemnified hereunder, or for advance
of expenses to Director, based on any breach or alleged breach of any of the
provisions of this Agreement by Director or for any other reason whatsoever.  In
the event Director is required to bring any action to enforce Director's rights
or to collect monies due to Director under this Agreement, and is successful in
such action, the Company shall reimburse Director for all of Director's legal
fees and expenses in bringing and pursuing such action.

     5.  Amendments to Minnesota Statutes or Company's Articles of Incorporation
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
or Bylaws.  The Company represents that its Bylaws provide for indemnification
---------
of Director to the maximum extent permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section
302A.521 as in effect on the date hereof and to the maximum extent required by
this Agreement.  The Company shall not amend its Articles of Incorporation or
Bylaws to reduce or eliminate the Director's right to indemnification or
advances provided for under this Agreement.  Any amendments to the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company made subsequent to the date of this
Agreement which reduce or eliminate rights of persons entitled to
indemnification or advances under such Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws shall
not limit the rights of Director pursuant to this Agreement.  If the Minnesota
Statutes, the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company are amended
so as to provide for greater indemnification rights or benefits, and Director
shall be entitled to such greater rights or benefits, and Director shall be
entitled to such greater rights and benefits immediately upon such amendment.
Subsequent amendments to the Minnesota Statutes or other applicable law shall in
no way reduce Director's rights under this Agreement.

     6.  Maintenance of Insurance.  The Company represents that it presently has
         ------------------------
in force and effect directors and officers insurance under a Directors' and
Officers' Liability Insurance Policies including Company Reimbursement issued by
Executive Risk. Indemnity, Inc. (Policy No. 81680180), Zurich Insurance Company
(Policy No. DOC 375126500), Gulf Insurance Company (Policy No. GA0723901), and
American International South Insurance Company (Policy No. 8726848) covering
certain liabilities which may be incurred by its officers and directors.  The
Company may maintain in effect, for the benefit of Director, directors' and
officers' insurance providing such additional or substitute coverage as may,
from time to time, be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, in
their absolute discretion.

     7.  Notification.  Promptly after receipt by Director of the Company of any
         ------------
notice or document respecting the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding
or investigation naming or involving Director and relating to any matter
concerning which Director may be entitled to indemnification or advances
pursuant to this Agreement, the party receiving notice will notify the other of
the receipt of same, but the failure by Director to so notify the Company shall
not relieve the Company from any obligation under this Agreement or otherwise.

     8.  Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended at any time by written
         ---------
instrument executed by the Company and Director.

                                       2

     9.  Notices.  All notices and other communications between the parties with
         -------
respect to this Agreement must be made in writing and shall be deemed to have
been fully delivered as of the date on which they are hand delivered or
deposited in the United States mail for delivery by registered or certified
mail, postage and fees prepaid.

     10.  Binding Effect.  Due to the personal nature of the services to be
          --------------
rendered by Director, Director may not assign this Agreement.  Subject to the
foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement are binding upon and inure to the
benefit of (i) Director and Director's respective heirs, legal representatives
and administrators, and (ii) the Company and its successors, transferees and
assigns.

     11.  Survival.  The obligations of the Company to Director as provided in
          --------
this  Agreement shall survive and continue after Director has ceased to be a
director of the Company.

     12.  Validity.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this
          --------
Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision
of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

     13.  Arbitration.  Any dispute or controversy arising under or in
          -----------
connection with this Agreement shall be discussed between the parties in a good
faith effort to arrive at a mutual settlement of any such controversy.  If,
notwithstanding the parties' good faith efforts, a dispute remains unresolved
for a period of 45 days after initial notice from one party to the other of the
dispute, the parties shall submit such dispute to arbitration in accordance with
the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the controversy.  The costs
of the proceeding shall be paid by the Company.  Unless otherwise agreed upon,
the place of arbitration proceedings shall be Fulton County, Georgia.

     14.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
          -------------
