     The Corporation is authorized to issue Common Stock, Preferred Stock and
Excess Stock. The Board of Directors of the Corporation has authority to fix the
number of shares and the designation of any shares of Preferred Stock and to
determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted
to or imposed upon any unissued Series of Preferred Stock.

     The Corporation will furnish to any shareholder, upon request and without
charge, a statement of the powers, designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional and other special rights of each class of stock or
series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such
preferences and/or rights, so far as the same shall have been fixed, and of the
authority of the Board of Directors to designate and fix any preferences, rights
and limitations of any wholly unissued series. Any such request should be
addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation at its principal office.

     The Shares of Preferred Stock represented by this certificate are subject
to restrictions on transfer for the purpose of the Corporation's maintenance of
its status as a real estate investment trust ["REIT"] under Section 856-860 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no person may
acquire shares of Preferred Stock if such acquisition causes the Person to Own
an amount of such shares in excess of 9.8% (the "Ownership Limit") of the total
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock of the Corporation. The
number of shares of Preferred Stock treated as and held by any shareholder for
purposes of applying this Ownership Limit shall be determined in accordance with
the provisions of Section 9 of the Designation of Rights and Preferences of 5
Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of Shurgard Storage Centers, Inc.
A corporate investor may petition the Board of Directors to increase the
Ownership Limit, which petition the Board of Directors shall grant unless it
determines in good faith that the ownership of such shares of Preferred Stock
and Common Stock may jeopardize the Corporation's qualification as a REIT;
provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall not be obligated to grant
the petition if the Board of Directors believes, based upon advice from legal
counsel, that the granting of the petition would cause the Board of Directors to
breach its fiduciary duty to the shareholders. Any Person who attempts to Own or
becomes the Owner of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock in excess of the
above limitation must immediately notify the Corporation of the proposed or
actual transaction and any transfer in violation of these limitations will not
be given effect and will be voided by the Corporation, the shares of Preferred
Stock or Common Stock in excess of this Ownership limit may be redeemed by the
Corporation, and/or such shares will be automatically converted into an
equivalent number of shares of non dividend-paying and nonvoting Excess Stock.
Excess Stock shall be treated as offered for sale to the Corporation or its
designee for a period of 120 days from the later of (a) the date of the transfer
of the shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock in excess of the Ownership
Limit or (b) the date the Corporation was first notified of such transfer. The
price paid by the Corporation for the Excess Stock will be determined as set
forth in the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, as amended or further
restated, which price will not be in excess of, but may be less than, the amount
paid by the Person for the shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock in excess
of the Ownership Limit. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings
defined in the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, as amended or further
restated, a copy of which will be sent without charge to each shareholder upon
such shareholder's written request. This legend summarizes certain of the
restrictions, limitations and requirements attributable to the shares of
Preferred Stock represented by this certificate, which restrictions, limitations
and requirements are fully set forth in the Corporation's Articles of
Incorporation, as amended. By acquiring the shares of Preferred Stock
represented by this certificate, the Owner hereof consents to the restrictions,
limitations and requirements attributable to such shares as contained in the
Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, as amended or further restated,
including without limitation, those selling to the non dividend-paying
characteristic of Excess Stock and the Owner's obligation, under certain
circumstances, to return to any distributions made by the Corporation to the
Owner prior to the Corporation's discovery that any shares of Preferred Stock
and Common Stock have been exchanged for Excess Stock.

EXHIBIT 4.3
          

The Hops Grill & Bar, Inc. MP Equity Investment Plan

               
The title of the plan described herein (the “Plan”) is
 “The Hops Grill & Bar, Inc. MP Equity Investment
Plan.”

               
         General managers and other prospective managing partners of Hops restaurants
(“Restaurants”) operated by
Hops Grill & Bar, Inc. (the “Company”) who are employees of the Company (“Employees”)
 will be eligible to
participate in the Plan if selected to participate by the Company.
 Each Employee selected to participate in the
Plan will be offered an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”)
 and a pledge agreement (the “Pledge
Agreement”, collectively with the Employment Agreement, the “Agreements”)
 by the Company which, if accepted, will
obligate the Employee to pledge to the Company shares of common stock,
 $.01 par value per share (the “Avado
Stock”), of Avado Brands, Inc. (“Avado”), having a value specified
 in the Employment Agreement (the “MP Equity
Investment”), to secure the Employee’s obligations to the Company under his or her Employment Agreement.
Participation in the Plan by an Employee selected by the Company to participate in the Plan will not be a
condition of his or her employment by the Company in a position other than managing partner of a Restaurant
(“Managing Partner”), but will be a condition of his or her employment as a Managing Partner.  An Employee who is
offered the Agreements and accepts will become Managing Partner of a Restaurant and a participant in the Plan (a
“Participating Manager”).

               
         Before the Company will enter into an Employment Agreement with an Employee pursuant
 to the Plan, he or
she will be required to hold Avado Stock having a then current market value not less than the MP Equity
Investment specified in his or her Employment Agreement (minus the amount of any Deferred Purchases described
below).   Such shares must be held solely in the name of the Employee, free and clear of any liens or
encumbrances.  The amount of the MP Equity Investment required by the Company with respect to an individual
Participating Manager will be determined by the Company based on prior sales of the Participating Manager’s
Restaurant.  All shares of Avado Stock held by a Participating Manager and representing the MP Equity Investment
must be pledged to the Company in accordance with the Pledge Agreement.

               
         Each Participating Manager will be eligible to receive incentive compensation (the “Incentive
Compensation”) based upon the sales and profits of the Participating Manager’s Restaurant and the amount of his
or her MP Equity Investment.  At the election of the Company, a Participating Manager may be eligible to receive
Incentive Compensation for one or more quarters beginning prior to the date of the Employment Agreement and
during which he or she was employed by the Company.  The manner in which Incentive Compensation will be payable
to each Participating Manager will be determined by the Company and will be set forth in the Employment Agreement.

               
         One purpose of the Plan is to motivate each Participating Manager to produce higher sales and profits at
his or her Restaurant as a result of the Participating Manager:  (a)  being eligible to receive Incentive
Compensation, based in part on the amount of his or her MP Equity Investment, and (b) investing in Avado, more
closely aligning the Participating Manager's interest with that of the Company and its parent.  Another purpose
of the Plan is to provide collateral to the Company, in the form of Avado Stock, to secure the obligations of
each Participating Manager pursuant to his or her Employment Agreement, including the obligation of each
Participating Manager to pay liquidated damages to the Company if his or her employment is terminated for cause
or as a result of the Participating Manager's resignation.

               
         During the term of employment of a Participating Manager, the Company will evaluate sales of the
Participating Manager's Restaurant, as provided in the Employment Agreement.  Provided the Participating Manager
and the Company agree, the Participating Manager's Employment Agreement may be replaced by a similar agreement,
giving effect to:  (a) the then most recent rolling twelve month average weekly sales generated by the
Participating Manager's Restaurant, and (b) any increase in the Participating Manager's MP Equity Investment,
with a resulting increase in the amount of Incentive Compensation for which the Participating Manager will be
eligible.

               
         The administrator of the Plan (the “Administrator”) will be designated by the chief executive officer or
chief financial officer of the Company.  The Administrator will maintain the Company's records in connection with
the Plan and is responsible to the Company for the safekeeping of certificates representing shares of Avado Stock
pledged to the Company pursuant to the Pledge Agreements.  The Administrator will not serve as a trustee or
manager of any securities purchased or pledged pursuant to the Plan and is not authorized to represent or provide
legal counsel or other advice to any person or entity other than the Company and its executive officers in
connection with the Plan.  The Administrator is authorized to execute and file on behalf of the Plan all
statements, reports or other documents required to be filed with or delivered to the Securities and Exchange
Commission or any other government agency, person or entity in connection with the Plan.  The Administrator will
serve until removed by the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Company or until he or she dies, is
disabled, or resigns.

               
         Any Avado Stock purchased by a Participating Manager to satisfy his or her obligations to hold and
pledge Avado Stock in the amount of the MP Equity Investment must be purchased by the Participating Manager in
the open market, by placing one or more orders with a broker/dealer selected by the Participating Manager (the
“Broker”).  The price per share of any Avado Stock purchased by a Participating Manager in connection with the
Plan will be the market price of Avado Stock at the time of purchase.  The Company may authorize one or more
broker/dealers to distribute to the Participating Managers information and applications related to the opening of
ordinary brokerage accounts with such broker/dealers.  All Avado Stock purchased by a Participating Manager for
purposes of the Plan, other than shares acquired in Deferred Purchases (as described below), must be paid for no
later than the date of the Employment Agreement.  Payment for all Avado Stock purchased by the Participating
Manager and any commissions, charges or fees charged by the Broker with respect thereto must be made by the
Participating Manager directly to the Broker, not to the Company or Avado.

2

               
         Part of the MP Equity Investment (the “Deferred Purchase Amount”), not to exceed the amount permitted by
the Employment Agreement, may be deferred until a date no later than one year from the effective date of the
Employment Agreement (the “Deferred Purchase Date”).  Prior to the Deferred Purchase Date, the Company will have
the right to deposit to a cash account of the Participating Manager, at a financial institution approved by the
Company, an amount of quarterly Incentive Compensation not to exceed the amount set forth in the Employment
Agreement (the “Designated Deposits”).  The Participating Manager will be required to use the Designated Deposits
solely to acquire Avado Stock in market transactions (“Deferred Purchases”) until the aggregate amount of his or
her Deferred Purchases of Avado Stock is at least as much as the Deferred Purchase Amount.  The Plan does not
provide for the purchase of any securities other than Avado Stock.

               
         If a Participating Manager fails to make the MP Equity Investment and pledge the required Avado Stock to
the Company in accordance with his or her Employment Agreement, the Participating Manager will not be eligible to
receive the Incentive Compensation which the Participating Manager would be eligible to receive if he or she had
complied with all the terms of the Employment Agreement.

               
         Neither the Company nor Avado will make any contributions to the Plan or reimburse any Participating
Manager for the purchase price of the Avado Stock or any commissions, charges or fees charged by the Broker or
otherwise incurred by the Participating Manager in connection with the purchase of Avado Stock or with respect to
the brokerage account, all of which will be the sole responsibility of the Participating Manager.  

               
         The Administrator will issue to each Participating Manager a quarterly report listing the number of
shares and the market value of Avado Stock pledged to the Company by the Participating Manager.  The nature and
frequency of any reports to be made to a Participating Manager as to the amounts and status of his or her
brokerage account will be determined solely by his or her Broker, who will be solely responsible for issuing such
reports to the Participating Manager.

               
         Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, each Participating Manager will be required to hold the
shares of Avado Stock representing his or her MP Equity Investment solely in his or her name during the term of
employment and, in the event of an early termination of the Participating Manager's employment by the Company for
cause or as a result of the Participating Manager's resignation, until the Participating Manager's resulting
obligation to pay liquidated damages to the Company pursuant to the Employment Agreement has been fully paid or
satisfied.

3

          
         A Participating Manager’s participation in the Plan commences on the date of his or her Employment
Agreement and terminates on the date of expiration of his or her employment with the Company pursuant to the
Employment Agreement, or, in the event of an earlier termination of employment by the Company for cause or as a
result of the Participating Manager’s resignation, when the Participating Manager’s resulting obligation to pay
liquidated damages to the Company has been fully paid or satisfied.  Upon the termination of the Participating
Manager's participation in the Plan, the Company will release from the security interest granted under the Pledge
Agreement between the Participating Manager and the Company all collateral other than any Avado Stock or other
collateral transferred to the Company as payment of liquidated damages, and upon such release, will deliver any
certificates evidencing the released collateral to the Participating Manager.

               
         Under the terms of the Pledge Agreement, a Participating Manager will not be permitted to sell, assign
or hypothecate to any third party any Avado Stock or other property owned by the Participating Manager while it
is pledged to the Company pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, without the Company's prior written consent.

               
         In the event of a termination of employment of a Participating Manager by the Company for cause or as a
result of the Participating Manager's resignation, the Participating Manager may elect to pay the Company the
full amount of the resulting liquidated damages in cash.  If the full amount of liquidated damages is not paid in
cash, the Company will cause all of the Avado Stock and any other collateral pledged by the Participating Manager
(the “Collateral”) to be transferred to its own name, except that if the total market value of the Collateral as
of the termination date is more than the unpaid liquidated damages, then only a portion of the Collateral, having
a total market value as of the termination date equal to the unpaid liquidated damages, will be transferred to
the name of the Company.  If:  (a) the Participating Manager has made the required MP Equity Investment and
pledged to the Company all securities required to be pledged to the Company pursuant to his or her Employment
Agreement and Pledge Agreement, and (b) the total market value of the Collateral as of the termination date is
less than the unpaid liquidated damages, the Participating Manager will not be liable for any deficiency.

                 

         The Company will not charge for participation in the Plan, nor will the Company deduct, for purposes of
the Plan, any amount from a Participating Manager's compensation other than the Designated Deposits, if
applicable (as described above).  Safekeeping of pledged securities will be performed by the Company or its
safekeeping agent solely at the Company's expense.  Any commissions, charges or fees with respect to the
Participating Manager’s brokerage account will be determined solely by the Broker.

               
         The Plan will commence immediately upon the effectiveness of Avado's filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission all documents required to be filed in connection with the Plan.  The Plan will continue
thereafter as long as any Participating Manager is subject to an Employment Agreement requiring the Participating
Manager to hold and pledge Avado Stock or until such other date as the Company may elect to terminate the Plan.
