	 	Re:	Einstein Noah Restaurant Group Inc. (the “Corporation”) 

	 	 	Redemption of Series Z Preferred Stock (“Series Z Preferred”) 

 Dear Bill: 
 This letter confirms our discussions regarding the Corporation’s and Halpern Denny III, L.P.’s
(“Halpern Denny”) understanding about the mandatory redemption of the Series Z Preferred. Any defined terms used in this letter without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the New World Restaurant Group, Inc. Certificate
of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series Z Preferred Stock dated September 29, 2003 (the “Certificate”). 
 In
connection with the redemption of the Series Z Preferred, the Corporation and Halpern Denny, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
  

	 	1.	The Corporation shall not redeem all of the shares of Series Z Preferred on June 30, 2009, but shall instead redeem the shares of Series Z Preferred on the dates set forth
herein and on the terms and conditions contemplated hereby. 

  

	 	2.	On June 30, 2009, pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of the Certificate, the Corporation shall redeem (subject to the legal availability of funds) 20,000 shares of
Series Z Preferred at a Redemption Price of $1,000 per share, for a total redemption price of $20,000,000. 

  

	 	3.	Pursuant to the mandatory redemption provisions of the Certificate, the remaining shares of Series Z Preferred shall be redeemed (subject to the legal availability of funds) at a
price equal to the Redemption Price of $1,000 per share plus the Additional Redemption Price (as defined below) per share as of such redemption date in accordance with the following schedule:. 

  

			
	 Redemption Date
	  	 Number of Shares to be Redeemed

	December 31, 2009	  	A number of shares equal to $3,000,000 divided by the sum of the Redemption Price of $1,000 per share and the Additional Redemption Price per share as of such redemption
date.

 Halpern Denny III, L.P. 
 May 27, 2009

	March 31, 2010	  	A number of shares equal to $5,000,000 divided by the sum of the Redemption Price of $1,000 per share and the Additional Redemption Price per share as of such redemption
date.
		
	June 30, 2010	  	All remaining outstanding shares of Series Z Preferred to be redeemed at the Redemption Price of $1,000 per share plus the Additional Redemption Price per share as of such redemption date.

 For purposes of this Letter Agreement, the “Additional Redemption Price” shall
mean, as of each redemption date after June 30, 2009, an amount per share of Series Z Preferred equal to the aggregate cumulative dividends which have accrued with respect to the outstanding Liquidation Preference for such share of Series Z
Preferred not redeemed in full as of June 30, 2009 (but outstanding on the redemption date) and which dividends remain unpaid as of such redemption date. The amount of such dividends shall be calculated in accordance with Section 4(c)(v)
of the Certificate and nothing in this Letter Agreement shall modify the amount of dividends payable to Halpern Denny pursuant to the terms of the Certificate. 
  

	 	4.	Due to the prohibition against paying cash dividends in the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 28, 2007, as amended (the “Credit
Agreement”), the Corporation does not intend to pay any cash dividends on any shares of Series Z Preferred not redeemed on June 30, 2009; provided however, the Corporation shall pay, on each redemption date, the Additional
Redemption Price for any shares of Series Z Preferred redeemed after June 30, 2009. 

 The parties hereto agree that, in
the event: 
 a. a Merger or Change of Control (in each case, as defined in the Certificate) of the Corporation shall occur
(i) the provisions of the Certificate shall control, (ii) pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate, the effective time of the Merger or Change of Control shall be a Mandatory Redemption Date and (iii) this Letter Agreement shall
be of no further force and effect; 

 Halpern Denny III, L.P. 
 May 27, 2009 
 Page 3 
 b. the Corporation becomes a debtor in a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, the provisions of the Certificate shall control and this Letter Agreement shall be of no further force and effect; and 
 c. the Corporation issues and sells capital stock or debt securities, the Corporation shall, to the extent permitted by the Credit
Agreement, use the net cash proceeds of such offering to redeem any outstanding shares of Series Z Preferred at the Redemption Price of $1,000 per share plus the Additional Redemption Price. 
 The parties hereto further agree that this Letter Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of either party’s rights under the Certificate and that
the Corporation’s obligation to redeem all outstanding shares of Series Z Preferred in accordance with Section 4(b) of the Certificate remains outstanding, except that if the Corporation makes the payments set forth above, Halpern Denny
agrees it has no rights to, and it shall not to take any action to, enforce the mandatory redemption provisions of the Certificate. The parties agree that this Letter Agreement shall bind any successors to the Corporation and shall extend to Halpern
Denny and its past, present and future parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives, and any and all executors, administrators, successors, assigns or heirs. Halpern Denny has not transferred
or assigned any causes of action arising from, related to or connected with the mandatory redemption provisions of the Certificate. 
 The
Corporation represents and warrants to Halpern Denny that (i) this Letter Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and other action on behalf of the Corporation and (ii) this Letter Agreement, including the obligation
to pay the Additional Redemption Price, will not violate or result in a default under any of the constituent documents of the Corporation or any material agreement or instrument binding the Corporation, including the Credit Agreement. Halpern Denny
represents and warrants to the Corporation that (i) this Letter Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary limited partnership and other action on behalf of Halpern Denny and (ii) this Letter Agreement will not violate or result
in a default under any of the constituent documents of Halpern Denny or any material agreement or instrument binding Halpern Denny. Each of the Corporation and Halpern Denny represent and warrant to the other party that this Letter Agreement has
been duly executed and delivered by each party, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each party, enforceable in accordance with its terms. 
 This Letter Agreement is not the Redemption Notice required by the Certificate and the Corporation shall be required to provide the Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 4(c) of the Certificate in advance
of any redemption pursuant to the terms of the Certificate.

the time of incurring such Indebtedness and on a pro forma basis immediately after giving effect to such Indebtedness, Borrower is and would be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.1, and (iii) Borrower

basis immediately after giving effect to such Indebtedness, with the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.1.” 
 (d) Section 8.9 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating such section in its entirety as follows: 
 “8.9 Certain Payments and Modifications of Certain Debt Instruments. 
 (a) Amend,
modify, waive or otherwise change, or consent or agree to any amendment, modification, waiver or other change to, any of the terms of the Series Z Preferred or any Replacement Equity consisting of preferred stock (other than (i) any such
amendment, modification, waiver or other change that (A) would extend or eliminate the scheduled redemption date or reduce the amount of any scheduled redemption payment or reduce the rate or extend any date for payment of dividends thereon and
(B) does not involve the payment of a consent fee other than any consent fees paid in connection with the extension of the scheduled redemption date in an aggregate amount not exceeding $250,000 and (ii) amendments, modifications, waivers
or other changes that are limited to administrative provisions of such documents); 
 (b) Make any payment in respect of any

 (c) Amend, modify, waive or otherwise change, or consent or agree to any amendment, modification,
waiver or other change to, any of the terms of the Subordinated Replacement Debt other than as expressly permitted or otherwise not prohibited under the applicable subordination agreements relative to such Indebtedness, or directly or indirectly
voluntarily purchase, redeem, defease or prepay any principal of, premium, if any, interest or other amount payable in respect of any Subordinated Replacement Debt other than as expressly 

  

 2 

 
permitted or otherwise not prohibited under the applicable subordination agreements relative to such Indebtedness.” 
 (e) Section 8.12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating such section in its entirety as
follows: 
 “8.12. Hedge Agreements. Enter into any Hedge Agreement, except (a) Hedge Agreements entered into in
order to effectively cap, collar or exchange interest rates from floating to fixed rates with respect to any interest-bearing liability or investment of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (b) Hedge Agreements that are unsecured and
entered into in the ordinary course of business for the bona fide purpose of forward purchasing commodities at a fixed price in connection with Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ operations and not for speculative purposes.” 

3. Consent. Subject to (i) the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 below and
(ii) receipt of a true and correct copy of the below-referenced Series Z Agreement that satisfies the terms and conditions set forth below, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.6(c) or 8.9 of the Credit
Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders hereby consent to Borrower entering into and performing its obligations under an agreement by and among the holders of shares of the Series Z Preferred and Borrower (the “Series Z
Agreement”) to the extent that the Series Z Agreement contains the following term and other terms and conditions that are either (x) not inconsistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (y) if
not consistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent: 
 Section 4(c)(v) of the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series Z Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) provides for dividends on the Series Z Preferred that
accrue and are payable as increased Redemption Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) upon redemption of shares of the Series Z Preferred after June 30, 2009 (the “Existing Dividend”). The Series Z Agreement will
provide that, to the extent that any shares of the Series Z Preferred have not been redeemed by June 30, 2010, (i) such shares of Series Z Preferred may accrue dividends from June 30, 2010 to the date that such Series Z Preferred are
redeemed at a rate that is up to an additional 2.00 percentage points higher than the Existing Dividend (such that the total dividend rate for any such Series Z Preferred that has not been redeemed by June 30, 2010 does not exceed 4.50
percentage points higher than the highest rate paid by the Borrower on its funded indebtedness) (such total dividend rate, the “Increased Dividend”) and (ii) such Increased Dividend shall be paid and payable as increased
Redemption Price upon redemption of shares of Series Z Preferred after June 30, 2010. 
 The Administrative Agent and the
Required Lenders hereby consent and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.2(d) of the Credit Agreement, a substantially final draft of the Series Z Agreement shall be required to be delivered to the

and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the date hereof, as though made on such date (or, to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date, on and
as of such earlier date).
