                          MASTER DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

     Master Distribution Agreement (this "Agreement"), dated May 16, 2001,
between SYSCO CORPORATION for itself and on behalf of those of its operating
subsidiaries and/or divisions listed in Schedule 1 (collectively, "SYSCO") and
Red Robin International, Inc. and each entity that owns or operates any of the
establishments listed as Customer Locations on Schedule 1.

                                   Background
                                   ----------

A.   SYSCO performs regional and national marketing, freight management,
consolidated warehousing, quality assurance and performance-based product
marketing for suppliers of products to the foodservice distribution industry;

B.   SYSCO performs purchasing, marketing, warehousing, quality assurance,
product research and development, transportation and distribution services for
foodservice customers directly and through its operating subsidiaries and
divisions (collectively, "Operating Companies" and individually, "Operating
Company"); and

C.   Customer owns, operates, is a franchiser of, and/or acts as a group
purchasing organization for the establishments listed in Schedule 1 (the
"Customer Locations").

D.   Customer desires to contract with SYSCO as its primary distributor for
foodservice products (i.e., supplying 80% or more of such products) to all of
its participating Customer Locations and SYSCO desires to perform these
services.

     In consideration of the mutual obligations set forth below, the parties
agree as follows:

1.   Appointment of Distributor
     --------------------------

     Customer appoints SYSCO to serve as its primary distributor to the Customer
Locations of foodservice products within the product categories described in
Schedule 2 ("Products"). By appointing SYSCO its "primary distributor" Customer
agrees that each participating Customer Location will purchase not less than 80%
of the dollar volume of such Customer Location's purchase requirements of
Products in each Product category.

     Products will include SYSCO(R) brand, national brand and other products
stocked by SYSCO. SYSCO(R) brand products include all products under trademarks
or tradenames owned by SYSCO as well as products under trademarks available
exclusively to SYSCO(R) in foodservice distribution channels.

                                      -1-

<PAGE>

2.   Customer Service Provided by SYSCO
     ----------------------------------

     2.1  Account Executive - SYSCO will assign an account executive and/or a
          -----------------
customer service representative to service Customer's account. The account
executive and/or customer service representative will maintain contact with
Customer Locations, on a mutually agreed basis, to review service requirements.

     2.2  Item List - SYSCO, with assistance from Customer, will prepare order
          ---------
guides to be used by the Customer when placing orders which will be provided on
Red Robin's fiscal monthly calendar for items priced monthly and on a weekly
basis for items priced weekly. SYSCO will provide order guides in hard copy
format or electronically if the Customer utilizes a SYSCO direct order entry
system, at Customer's option.

     2.3  Policies and Procedures - A policies and procedures guide has been
          -----------------------
provided by SYSCO to all Customer Locations. Resonable notice will be given to
Customer Locations when policies and procedures are changed by SYSCO. Credits,
pickups and other requests for service will be initiated by local Customer
Locations personnel according to the guide.

3.   Delivery Service Provided by SYSCO
     ----------------------------------

     Each Operating Company will establish a delivery schedule for each Customer
Location within its market area taking into consideration Customer needs and
preferences and will use reasonable, good faith efforts to make on-time
deliveries.

4.   Information Services Provided By SYSCO
     --------------------------------------

     4.1  Usage Reports - SYSCO can provide Customer usage data selected from
          -------------
SYSCO's standard report or flat file options. Standard data is made available
either on hard copy or electronically. The electronic options include EDI ANSI
X.12, bulletin board, tape or diskette. Should it become necessary to develop
customized reports in lieu of or in addition to the standard SYSCO reports,
SYSCO will use reasonable efforts to provide such reports. Customer agrees to
pay for any additional costs incurred by SYSCO for the development of any
customized reports.

     4.2  Direct Order Entry - If Customer desires electronic order entry, SYSCO
          ------------------
will provide either Customer Companion software or an Internet order entry
application utilizing a browser. Either option will enable the Customer
Locations to directly place orders electronically with the servicing Operating
Company. Any participating Customer Locations must provide, at their own cost,
compatible hardware, Internet and network connections in order to utilize the
above software or browser application.

                                      -2-

<PAGE>

     4.3  Supporting Software - SYSCO has available supporting software modules
          -------------------
that interface with the eSYSCO Order Entry System. This supporting software
offers menu planning and inventory management system and can be purchased
through SYSCO for a nominal fee.

     4.4  Third Party Providers - Upon the Customer's written request, SYSCO
          ---------------------
will provide to an agent representing a Customer for the purpose of information
analysis, order placement or processing, or supplier rebate application (a
"Third Party Provider") purchasing information that is normally made available
to the Customer, subject to the below listed conditions: The information will
only be made available in one of SYSCO's standard electronic formats or
utilizing EDI ANSI X.12 standards. All information sent by SYSCO to an
authorized Third Party Provider is for the sole use of the Customer. Selling,
utilizing, or disclosing such information to anyone other than the Customer is
prohibited. Prior to providing any such information to any such Third Party
Provider, SYSCO requires a Confidentially Agreement be in place with both the
Customer and the Third Party Provider prior to transmission of data to a third
party. In the event SYSCO incurs additional costs as a result of Third Party
Provider requirements, such costs will be charged to either the Customer or the
Third Party Provider.

5.   Pricing
     -------

     5.1  Definition of Cost - The price to Customer for all Products sold under
          ------------------
this Agreement (the "Sell Price") will be calculated on the basis of Cost.
Except for contract pricing noted in 5.4, "Cost" is defined as the cost of the
Product as shown on the invoice to the delivering Operating Company, plus
applicable freight. The invoice used to determine Cost will be the invoice
issued to the delivering Operating Company by the supplier or by the
Merchandising Services Department of SYSCO Corporation. Cost is not reduced by
cash discounts for prompt payment available to SYSCO or the Operating Companies.

     Applicable freight, in those cases where the invoice cost to the delivering
Operating Company is not a delivered cost, means a reasonable freight charge to
transport a Product from the Supplier (as defined below) to the Operating
Company. Freight charges may include common or contract carrier charges imposed
by the Product Supplier or a carrier, or charges billed by Alfmark, SYSCO's
freight management service. Applicable freight for any Product will not exceed
the rate charged by nationally recognized carriers operating between the same
points, for the same quantity of product, and the same type of freight service.

     5.2  Merchandising Services - SYSCO performs value-added services for
          ----------------------
suppliers of SYSCO(R)brand and other products (a "Supplier") over and above
procurement activities typically provided. These value-added services include
regional and national marketing, freight management, consolidated warehousing,
distribution, quality assurance and performance-based product marketing. SYSCO
may recover the costs of providing

                                      -3-

<PAGE>

these services and may also be compensated for these services and considers this
compensation to be earned income. Receipt of such cost recovery or earned income
does not reduce Cost and does not diminish SYSCO's commitment to provide
competitive prices to its customers.

     5.3  Sell Price
          ----------

     (a)  Calculation of Sell Price - The Sell Price of each Product sold under
          -------------------------
this Agreement will equal the Cost of such Product divided by 100% minus the
percentage margin on sell specified in Schedule 2 for such Product category,
less promotional allowances reflected on invoices to the delivering Operating
Company which will be passed along as a temporary reduction in the Sell Price
for the term of the promotion.

     For Example, a Product with a Cost of $25.00 per case, a margin on sell of
10% and a promotional allowance on the face of the invoice of $.50 per case will
have a Sell Price calculated as follows:

     Calculate base price from margin      $25.00    =    $25.00     =   $27.78
                                         ----------     -----------
                                         (100%-10%)         90%
     Less promotional allowance
     shown the invoice                                                     (.50)
                                                                         ------
                                         Sell Price                      $27.28
                                                                         ======

     (b)  Duration of Sell Price - Costs for all Products are recalculated with
the following frequencies:

          1)   Time of sale pricing - price sensitive products with volatile
fluctuations in pricing (i.e. produce and fresh seafood);

          2)   Weekly pricing - commodity products which reflect declines and
advances in Cost on a regular basis, as determined by SYSCO (i.e. most protein
products) - will be in effect for seven consecutive days;

          3)   Monthly pricing - fairly stable pricing for extended periods
(i.e. most canned products) - will be in effect to coincide with Red Robin's
fiscal monthly calendar.

Variances can occur to the Customer's invoiced price due to starting and ending
dates of Supplier Agreements, as detailed in Section 6 hereof (and the timing of
when "Cost" is determined).

                                      -4-

<PAGE>

     (c)  Time of Sell Price Calculation - The following schedule will be used
          ------------------------------
to determine when the sell price is calculated:

          1)   Time of Sale Pricing - day of invoicing;

          2)   Weekly Pricing - Thursday of the prior week;

          3)   Monthly Pricing - Seven days prior to the start of Red Robin's
               fiscal monthly calendar.

     (d)  Effective Date of Sell Price - Weekly pricing will be for 7
          ----------------------------
consecutive days to be determined by the Operating Company. Monthly pricing will
coincide with Red Robin's monthly fiscal calendar.

     5.4  Customer Contract Pricing - In the event the Customer negotiates
          -------------------------
contract pricing directly with a Supplier, such contract cost with such Supplier
will be used to calculate the Customer's Sell Price, regardless of SYSCO's Cost.

     5.5  Substitutions - Should a substitution be necessary, the delivering
          -------------
Operating Company will ship a comparable product at a Sell Price calculated
using the same methodology and margin percentage as on the original Product
ordered.

     5.6  Adjustment in Margins for Unanticipated Problems - If the operating
          ------------------------------------------------
costs of SYSCO or any particular Operating Company are increased as a direct
result of a significant regional or national economic problem, including but not
limited to fuel cost increases and power shortages, SYSCO may, with prior
consent of the Customer, add a surcharge to the Customer's invoice to compensate
for such increased costs.

6.   Supplier Agreements - Administration and Handling
     -------------------------------------------------

     6.1  Customer will provide SYSCO with written evidence of the existence of
any contractual agreements it has with any Supplier for the purchase of Products
("Supplier Agreements"), utilizing the SYSCO Supplier Detail Form (Schedule 3).
Supplier Agreements include agreements for which the Supplier and Customer have
agreed on off-invoice allowances for Customer ("Supplier Off-Invoice
Allowances") or the guaranteed cost Supplier will charge distributor for Product
to be resold to Customer ("Supplier Guaranteed Distributor Cost"). SYSCO will
use the Supplier Guaranteed Distributor Cost (of which it has been notified
appropriately) as the Cost of such Product when calculating its Sell Price,
notwithstanding that the Cost of such Product to SYSCO otherwise varies. SYSCO
will provide for a Supplier Off-Invoice Allowance for a Product by deducting
such allowance value after the Sell Price of such Product is calculated in
accordance with Section 5.3.

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

     6.2  Equivalent SYSCO Branded Product. In the event Supplier is an
          --------------------------------
authorized supplier of SYSCO branded Product which is the equivalent of any
Products covered by a Supplier Agreement (the "Equivalent SYSCO Product"), SYSCO
may provide such Equivalent SYSCO Product to Customer under the terms of such
Supplier Agreement provided that (i) Customer has approved SYSCO branded Product
for purchase, (ii) Supplier agrees that such Supplier Agreement terms can be
applied to the equivalent SYSCO branded Product; and (iii) such equivalent SYSCO
branded Product is stocked by an Operating Company servicing any Customer
Location.

     6.3  Effectiveness of Additional Supplier Agreements. For any Supplier
          -----------------------------------------------
Agreements which are either (i) not listed on Schedule 3 or (ii) the terms of
which change from what is listed on Schedule 3 ("New Supplier Agreements"),
SYSCO must be notified in writing 21 days prior to the Customer's fiscal monthly
calendar in which it should become effective. Furthermore, in the event any
documentation regarding the specifics of any New Supplier Agreement is
incomplete, while SYSCO will make every reasonable effort to secure such
necessary documentation to implement the terms and provisions of such New
Supplier Agreement, if such additional documentation is not received 21 days
prior to the Customer's fiscal monthly calendar, the effectiveness of the
pricing and allowance terms thereof shall be delayed until the following fiscal
calendar month, following receipt of such documentation.

     6.4  Administrative Maintenance of Supplier Agreements. Customer agrees
          -------------------------------------------------
that SYSCO is not responsible for inaccuracies, errors or omissions made by
Supplier in connection with the billing of the pricing and allowances under the
Supplier Agreements and that Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for any such
inaccuracies, errors or omissions shall be directly with Supplier. (For example:
If the terms and provisions of a New Supplier Agreement are received by January
20th with direction to be effective as of February 1st, the effective dates of
such pricing allowances will be March 1st and Customer will look only to
Supplier to resolve any issues with respect to such pricing and/or allowances
not being effective as of February 1st.)

     6.5  Specifically Inventoried Proprietary Product - Effectiveness of
          --------------------------------------------
Pricing Changes. For Proprietary Products which are specifically inventoried for
Customer pursuant to the terms of a Supplier Agreement, Customer agrees that any
changes in the Supplier Guaranteed Distributor Cost will not be effective until
such time as SYSCO revalues its inventory of such Proprietary Product in
accordance with its normal and customary inventory valuation procedures, unless
Supplier allows SYSCO to bill back Supplier for such pricing and allowance
modifications on its existing inventory at the time of such changes, in which
event the pricing to Customer shall change upon the effective date of the New
Supplier Agreement.

                                      -6-

<PAGE>

7.   Price Verification
     ------------------

     Customer will be allowed one (1) annual price verification at each
delivering Operating Company for purchases made under this Agreement. The price
verification will consist of reviewing computer reports documenting SYSCO's
calculation of the Customer's invoice price and verification of the
participating SYSCO Operating Company's delivered Cost. If requested, applicable
Supplier invoices and accompanying freight invoices will also be made available.
Price verification adjustments, if applicable, will be made utilizing the net of
undercharges and overcharges to the Customer. The price verification process is
subject to the following:

     a.   Customer must request a price verification in writing at least twenty
          (20) business days prior to the suggested date of the price
          verification. This request must identify the thirty (30) items to be
          price verified and the period covered;

     b.   The date and time of price verification must be to the mutual
          agreement of both parties;

     c.   The price verification will be made at the delivering Operating
          Company's location;

     d.   Support for the price verification may not be removed from the
          delivering Operating Company location;

     e.   The period for which pricing is to be verified will not begin more
          than twelve (12) months prior to the date of the price verification,
          and will cover only one pricing period.

     Due to the extensive time and complexity associated with price
verification, SYSCO will not permit computer generated price matching or
electronic audits by or on behalf of Customers or any Third Party Provider to be
used in lieu of the above price verification procedure.

8.   Proprietary and Special Order Products
     --------------------------------------

     8.1  Definition of Special Order Products - Special Order Products are
          ------------------------------------
defined as products not inventoried by the SYSCO Operating Company whereby the
Customer requests the Operating Company to purchase said products on the
Customer's behalf.

     8.2  Definition of Proprietary Products - Proprietary Products are
          ----------------------------------
defined as products bearing the customers name or logo or products with a unique
formulation which are restricted for sale to one Customer, or national branded
products that would otherwise not be inventoried except for the requirements of
the Customer. Products that are produced for SYSCO under the Sysco Brand will be
considered Proprietary Products when the Customer designates the product must be
procured from specific suppliers.

                                      -7-

<PAGE>

Due to the highly perishable nature of fresh produce, SYSCO will not honor
proprietary status on any fresh produce item.

     8.3  Stocking of Proprietary Products - SYSCO Operating companies will
          --------------------------------
stock product deemed necessary by the Customer to conduct their business
successfully. However, Customer completely understands that sufficient movement
is required to store proprietary items. Customer also agrees to take
responsibility for depleting excessive proprietary inventory as well as any
proprietary items with no movement in a timely basis.

SYSCO Operating companies will stock 21 days of inventory on all proprietary
items.

     8.4  Proprietary Product and Special Order Products Requirements -
          -----------------------------------------------------------
Proprietary Products and Special Order Products for the Customer must meet the
following requirements:

          a) Suppliers of Proprietary Products and Special Order Products must
provide SYSCO with SYSCO's required indemnity agreement and insurance coverage;

          b) Proprietary Products and Special Order Products must have a valid
UPC number assigned and a scanable UPC bar code on each sellable unit;

          c) SYSCO utilizes several third party warehouses throughout the nation
for the purpose of efficiently redistributing products ("Redistribution
Warehouses"). Any Products placed into the Redistribution Warehouses must be
inventoried on a consigned basis by either the Supplier or the Customer.

     8.5  Customer Responsibility for Proprietary Products and Special Order
          ------------------------------------------------------------------
Products
--------
          a) Hold Harmless - In the event any supplier of Proprietary Products
or Special Order Products does not provide SYSCO's required indemnity, Customer
will defend, indemnify and hold harmless SYSCO and its employees, officers and
directors from all actions, claims and proceedings, and any judgments, damages
and expenses resulting therefrom, brought by any person or entity for injury,
illness and/or death or for damage to property in either case arising out of the
delivery, sale, resale, use or consumption of any such Proprietary Product or
Special Order Product, except to the extent such claims are caused by the
negligence of SYSCO, its agents or employees.

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

          b) Minimal Movement Requirements - In the event SYSCO, at the request
             -----------------------------
of the Customer, inventories Proprietary Products or Special Order Products
(including without limitation, Products featured by Customer for a limited time
period) at either any Operating Companies or at any Redistribution Warehouse,
and there is no Product movement within 30 days of delivery to such location,
Customer agrees to cause such Products to be repurchased and if desired, take
possession of all such Product within 14 days following written notification
from SYSCO. Products repurchased will be at SYSCO's Cost plus a reasonable
transfer and warehouse handling charge not to exceed 10% of the Products Cost.

          c) Food Safety and Ground Beef - Food safety is of paramount
             ---------------------------
importance to SYSCO, Customer and the ultimate consumer. To that end, SYSCO has
developed a set of stringent standards for the production and packaging of
ground beef (the "SYSCO Ground Beef Safety Standards"). In order to adequately
protect SYSCO and Customer from potential food safety issues relating to the
production and packaging of ground beef and the ultimate consumer, SYSCO shall
not be obligated to utilize any Supplier of ground beef which does not meet the
SYSCO Ground Beef Safety Standards, a copy of which has been previously provided
to Customer, whether or not the ground beef supplied by such supplier has been
designated by Customer as a Proprietary Product or Special Order Product.

          d) Termination - In the event of termination or expiration of this
             -----------
Agreement, Customer will purchase, or cause a third party to purchase, all
remaining Proprietary Products and Special Order Products in SYSCO's inventory
at SYSCO's Cost plus a reasonable transfer and warehouse handling charge not to
exceed 10% of the Cost of such Proprietary Products or Special Order Products.
In such an event, Customer will purchase or cause to be purchased all perishable
Proprietary Products and Special Order Products within seven (7) days of the
termination of this Agreement and all frozen and dry Proprietary Products and
Special Order Products within fifteen (15) days of the termination of this
Agreement, and Customer hereby guarantees payment for such Product purchased by
a designated third party.

9.   Credit
     ------

     9.1  Net Terms - Payment is due within 28 days from the date of the
          ---------
invoice.

     SYSCO reserves the right to modify payment terms for Customer or any
company or entity which purchases Products under this Agreement as a franchisee
or member of a group purchasing organization, in SYSCO's sole judgement, if any
such entity's financial condition materially deteriorates or SYSCO becomes aware
of circumstances that may materially and adversely impact such entity's ability
to meet its financial obligations when due.

     SYSCO will give Customer a (30) day written notice of a material default
with thirty (30) days to cure within such thirty (30) day period.

     Franchisee Customers which are franchisees or members of group purchasing
organizations will normally be offered the standard credit terms offered
hereunder. However, at the sole discretion of the servicing SYSCO Operating
Company and based on the credit worthiness of the individual Customer Location
(or the entity which owns or operates such Customer Location), terms other than
that stated in this Agreement may be applied.

     9.2  Set Off - SYSCO's rights of set off and recoupment are recognized by
          -------
Customer and preserved in all respects.

     9.3  Service Charge; Collection Fees - If invoices are not paid when due, a
          -------------------------------
service charge will be assessed to Customer, up to the maximum amount permitted
by law. Unpaid invoice balances and service charges due to SYSCO will be
deducted from any credits due to Customer. Customer shall pay all costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) SYSCO incurs in enforcing its
rights under this Agreement including, without limitation, its right to payment
for Product sold to Customer.

     9.4  Applications - Customer (and each Customer franchisee and member of
          ------------
Customer's group purchasing organization) will complete, execute and deliver a
new account form to SYSCO before this Agreement becomes binding upon SYSCO.

     9.5  Financial Information - The continuing creditworthiness of Customer is
          ---------------------
of central importance to SYSCO. In order to enable SYSCO to monitor Customer's
financial condition and if requested by SYSCO, Customer will supply quarterly
and annual financial statements to SYSCO consisting of an income statement,
balance sheet and statement of cash flow. SYSCO may request such further
financial information from Customer from time to time, sufficient, in SYSCO's
judgment, to enable SYSCO to accurately assess Customer's financial condition.

     9.6  Delivery Stoppage - In the event Customer, or any company or entity
          -----------------
which purchases Products under this Agreement as a Customer franchisee or a
member of Customer's group purchasing organization, fails to make payment when
due, SYSCO or any participating Operating Company to which such payment is due
may immediately cease shipment of any Products to Customer or other
participating entity until the outstanding receivable balance is fully within
terms.

10.  Term
     ----

     The term of this Agreement will begin on May 21, 2001, and will end at 5:00
p.m. Houston time on June 30, 2004.

11.  Termination
     -----------

     This Agreement may be terminated prior to its ending date for the
following:

     (a)  By either party for failure of the other party to comply with any
material provision of this Agreement within sixty (60) days of such party's
receipt of written notice describing said failure;

     (b)  By SYSCO immediately upon written notice to Customer if Customer's
financial position deteriorates materially, determined by SYSCO in its sole
judgment; or SYSCO becomes aware of any circumstances that, in SYSCO's sole
judgement, materially impacts Customer's ability to meet its financial
obligation when due;

     (c)  By SYSCO with respect to any Customer franchisee or a member of
Customer's group purchasing organization, immediately upon written notice to
such entity if its financial position deteriorates materially, determined by
SYSCO in its sole judgment; or SYSCO becomes aware of any circumstances that, in
SYSCO's sole judgment, materially impacts such entity's ability to meet its
financial obligations when due;

     (d)  By SYSCO, if Customer (or any Customer franchisee or member of
Customer's group purchasing organization) fails to meet its stated operational
representations set out in Schedule 5. The margin schedule submitted is based on
the Customer's operational representations concerning its service needs as
stated in Schedule 2 including, but not limited to its anticipated purchase
volumes, drop sizes, Product mix, location of Customer Locations, number of
deliveries, information services/technology requirements, and number of
Proprietary Products and Special Order Products as well as Customer's compliance
with the payment and other obligations specified in this Agreement. If SYSCO
determines at any time or times after ninety (90) days from the date of this
Agreement that Customer (or any Customer franchisee or member of Customer's
group purchasing organization) requires service which varies materially from the
levels contemplated in Customer's representations made to SYSCO in negotiating
this Agreement, SYSCO reserves the right to request an increase on the margin
specified. SYSCO shall give written notice to Customer (or any Customer
franchisee or member of Customer's group purchasing organization) of the
proposed increase in the margin. If the parties are unable to agree on such an
increase within 30 days after the date of the notice of such increase and
Customer's (or any Customer franchisee or member of Customer's group purchasing
organization) service requirements and/or contract compliance continues to vary
from that contemplated or required by this Agreement, SYSCO may terminate this
Agreement on thirty (30) days written notice to Customer (or any Customer
franchisee or member of Customer's group purchasing organization).

                                      -11-

     Upon termination, Customer (or any Customer franchisee or member of
Customer's group purchasing organization) agrees to fully comply with all of its
obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation to pay all
invoices at the earlier of 1) the time they are due or 2) two weeks from the
date of the last shipment to a Customer Location.

12.  Arbitration and Waiver of Jury Trial Right
     ------------------------------------------

     12.1 Arbitration - All actions, disputes, claims or controversy of any kind
          -----------
now existing or hereafter arising between the parties to this Agreement,
including, but not limited to any action, dispute, claim or controversy arising
out of this Agreement or the delivery by SYSCO of any Products to Customer (a
"Dispute") shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Houston, in accordance
with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association
and, to the maximum extent applicable, the Federal Arbitration Act. Arbitrations
shall be conducted before one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Customer and
SYSCO. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within thirty (30) days
after the request for an arbitration, then each party will select an arbitrator
and the two arbitrators will select upon a third. Judgment of any award rendered
by an arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. All fees of
the arbitrator and other costs and expenses of the arbitration shall be paid by
SYSCO and Customer equally unless otherwise awarded by the arbitrator; provided,
however, that the non-prevailing party in an arbitration shall pay all
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in
connection with the Dispute and the arbitration.

     12.2 Waiver of Jury Trial Right - Customer affirmatively waives its right
          --------------------------
to jury trial with respect to any disputes, claims or controversies of any kind
whatsoever; Customer having submitted to arbitration any of such disputes,
claims or controversies as set out above.

13.  Perishable Agricultural Commodities
     -----------------------------------

     This Agreement may cover sales of "perishable agricultural commodities" as
those terms are defined by federal law. Generally, all fresh and frozen fruits
and vegetables which have not been processed beyond cutting, combining, and/or
steam blanching are considered perishable agricultural commodities as are oil
blanched french fried potato products. All perishable agricultural commodities
sold under this Agreement are sold subject to the statutory trust authorized by
Section 5(c) of the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, 1930 (7 U.S.C.
499e(c)). The seller of these commodities retains a trust claim over these
commodities and all inventories of food or other products derived from these
commodities until full payment is received.

  responsibility to the customer for any discounts due during the implementation
  period. SYSCO operating companies will not perform retro processing procedures
  for agreements received after the cut off.

                                  June 6, 2002

Mr. Jim McCloskey
Chief Financial Officer
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc.
5575 DTC Parkway, Suite 110
Greenwood Village, CO  80111

Gentlemen:

         Red Robin International, Inc. (the "Borrower") has informed Wachovia
Bank, National Association ("Wachovia") that it intends to consummate an initial
public offering of its capital stock (the "IPO"). In connection with the IPO,
the Borrower intends to enter into a senior secured bank facility having
substantially the terms set forth on the summary of terms and conditions
attached hereto (the "Term Sheet") with certain financial institutions (the
"Lenders") for an aggregate principal amount of up to $35,000,000 (the
"Facility"). Wachovia understands that the proceeds of the Facility will be used
(i) to finance new restaurant construction costs, (ii) to pay certain costs,
fees and expenses in connection with such construction projects, (iii) to
refinance certain existing debt of the Borrower, (iv) to pay any fees and
expenses in connection with the Facility, (v) to provide for the working capital
and general corporate requirements of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and (vi)
for acquisitions relating to the purchase or repurchase of Red Robin franchises.

         The IPO, the Facility and the other transactions described above are
hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Transactions".

         Based upon and subject to the foregoing and to the terms and conditions
set forth below and in the Term Sheet, Wachovia is pleased to confirm its
commitment (the "Commitment") to provide up to a $15,000,000 portion of the
Facility to the Borrower and to use its reasonable best efforts to secure
commitments from additional lenders for the remaining portion of the Facility.
Wachovia, through its affiliate, First Union Securities, Inc., acting under the
tradename Wachovia Securities ("FUSI" or the "Lead Arranger"), is also pleased
to advise you of its willingness to serve as sole manager and arranger for the
Facility. Wachovia's obligation to provide its portion of the Facility pursuant
to the Commitment is subject to the following: (i) the Borrower's written
acceptance of a letter from Wachovia to the Borrower of even date herewith (the
"Fee Letter") pursuant to which the Borrower agrees to pay, or cause to be paid,
to Wachovia certain fees in connection with the Facility as more particularly
set forth therein, (ii) completion by Wachovia of its confirmatory due diligence
on the Borrower and its subsidiaries in all respects satisfactory to Wachovia,
(iii) completion of a definitive credit agreement and related

documentation for the Facility in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Wachovia, (iv) review of all documentation relating to the IPO in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Wachovia, (v) compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations (including compliance of this letter agreement
(this "Commitment Letter") and the Transactions described herein with all
applicable federal banking laws, rules and regulations), (vi) there having been
no competing issuance of senior debt facilities of the Borrower or any of its
subsidiaries being offered, placed or arranged for the purposes of effectuating
the IPO, without the prior written consent of Wachovia and FUSI, (vii) receipt
of commitments by Wachovia (including Wachovia's) for the Facility equaling or
exceeding $25,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, and (viii) the satisfaction
of all other conditions described herein, in the Term Sheet and in such
definitive credit documentation. Further, Wachovia's Commitment is subject to
(a) there not having occurred any event that has, or could be reasonably
expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, properties,
prospects, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and
its subsidiaries taken as a whole and (b) the absence of any material adverse
change in the financial, banking or capital markets (including the loan
syndication market) that has materially impaired or would materially impair the
syndication of the Facility, as determined by Wachovia and FUSI in their
reasonable discretion.

         It is agreed that Wachovia will act as the Administrative Agent (the
"Administrative Agent") for the Lenders under the Facility. Wachovia, through
its affiliate FUSI, will also serve as sole manager of the syndication effort.
In connection with such syndication effort, Wachovia, with the advice and
consent of the Borrower, will manage all aspects of the syndication, including,
without limitation, making decisions as to the selection and number of
institutions to be approached and when such institutions will be approached,
when commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the
allocations of commitments among syndicate Lenders and the amount and
distribution of fees payable to syndicate Lenders. As a part of this process,
Wachovia will consult with the Borrower regarding the selection and number of
institutions to be approached.

         Wachovia reserves the right, prior to or after the execution of
definitive documentation with respect to the Facility, and as part of any
syndication thereof or otherwise, to arrange for the assignment of a portion of
the Commitment to one or more financial institutions that will become Lenders
and be party to such definitive documentation. In addition, in connection with
any such syndication, the Borrower acknowledges that Wachovia may allocate a
portion of the fees payable under the Fee Letter to such other Lenders. It is
agreed, however, that no Lender will receive compensation from or on behalf of
the Borrower outside the terms contained herein and in the Fee Letter in order
to obtain its commitment to participate in the Facility.

         The Borrower understands that Wachovia intends to commence the
syndication efforts immediately and intends to complete the syndication prior to
the closing date of the Facility (the "Closing Date"). The Borrower agrees to
assist Wachovia in promptly completing a mutually satisfactory syndication. The
syndication will be accomplished by a variety of means including direct contact
during the syndication between senior management of the Borrower and Wachovia
and their respective affiliates and advisors. Wachovia reserves the right to
engage the services of

FUSI and other of its affiliates in furnishing the services to be performed by
Wachovia as contemplated herein and to allocate (in whole or in part) to any
such affiliates any fees payable to it in such manner as it and its affiliates
may agree in their sole discretion. The Borrower agrees that Wachovia may share
with any of its affiliates and advisors any information related to the
Transactions or any other matter contemplated hereby (other than in violation of
Regulation FD), on a confidential basis; provided that such disclosure of
information is for the purpose of effecting the Transactions.

         The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that (i) all information,
other than the Projections (as defined below), which has been or is hereafter
made available to Wachovia or the Lenders by the Borrower or any of its
representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
("Information") is and will be complete and correct in all material respects
and, to the Borrower's knowledge, does not and will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements contained therein not misleading and (ii) all financial
projections concerning the Borrower and its subsidiaries that have been or are
hereafter made available to Wachovia or the Lenders by the Borrower or any of
its representatives (the "Projections") have been or will be prepared in good
faith based upon assumptions that the Borrower believes to be reasonable at the
time of such preparation. The Borrower agrees to furnish us with such
Information and Projections as we may reasonably request and to supplement the
Information and the Projections from time to time until the Closing Date so that
the representation and warranty in the preceding sentence is correct on such
date (including, without limitation, updating the Projections to the extent the
Borrower becomes aware that such Projections have become materially inaccurate
or have been prepared based upon assumptions that the Borrower believes are no
longer reasonable). In arranging and syndicating the Facility, Wachovia will be
using and relying on the Information and the Projections without independent
verification thereof.

         The Borrower agrees to reimburse Wachovia, FUSI and their affiliates
from time to time on demand for all of their reasonable fees and out-of-pocket
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in
connection with the transactions described herein whether or not the Facility is
closed or any credit is extended thereunder. The Borrower also agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless Wachovia, FUSI and their affiliates and their
respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively,
the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all actions, suits, losses,
claims, damages and liabilities of any kind or nature, joint or several, to
which such Indemnified Parties may become subject, related to or arising out of
any of the transactions contemplated herein, including without limitation the
execution of definitive credit documentation, the syndication and closing of the
Facility (a "Third Party Claim"), and will reimburse the Indemnified Parties for
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) on demand as they are incurred in connection with the investigation
of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened Third Party Claim
or any action or proceeding arising therefrom; provided, however, that no
Indemnified Party shall have any right to indemnification for any of the
foregoing to the extent determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct; provided, further, that (i) each

Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing upon becoming
aware of the initiation of any Third Party Claim against it, (ii) the Borrower
shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such Third Party Claim
and, if the Borrower so chooses, to assume the defense, at the Borrower's
expense, of any such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Borrower (it
being understood that any Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate
in such defense and employ counsel separate from the counsel employed by the
Borrower, and that such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified
Party unless such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that
there may be legal defenses available to it that are inconsistent with or in
addition to those available to the Borrower, in which case such counsel shall be
at the Borrower's expense) and (iii) no Indemnified Party shall settle any Third
Party Claim without the Borrower's prior written consent. This Commitment Letter
is addressed solely to the Borrower, and neither Wachovia and FUSI, on the one
hand, nor the Borrower, on the other hand, shall be liable to the other or any
other person for any consequential damages that may be alleged as a result of
this Commitment Letter or any of the transactions referred to herein. This
Commitment Letter is not intended to confer any obligations to or benefits upon
any third party. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive completion of
the Transactions and any termination of this Commitment Letter.

         The Borrower is not authorized to show or circulate this Commitment
Letter, the Fee Letter or the Term Sheet, or disclose the contents thereof, to
any other person or entity (other than to its affiliates, directors, officers,
advisors, legal and financial counsel and underwriters and underwriters counsel,
whether in connection with the Facility, the IPO or otherwise; provided that (i)
each of such persons shall agree to be bound by the confidentiality provisions
hereof and (ii) the Borrower shall be liable for any breach of such
confidentiality provisions by any such person), except as may be required by law
(including, without limitation, applicable securities laws and disclosure
requirements) or applicable judicial process or as consented to by Wachovia. If
the Borrower does show or circulate this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or
the Term Sheet, or disclose the contents thereof, in breach of the foregoing
sentence, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have accepted this Commitment
Letter and the Fee Letter.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees
that Wachovia and FUSI may share with their respective affiliates any
information relating to the Facility, the other Transactions, the Borrower and
its subsidiaries (subject to Regulation FD). The Borrower further acknowledges
and agrees to the disclosure by Wachovia and FUSI of information relating to the
Facility to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, with such
information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in
such publications.

         Prior to the Closing Date, Wachovia shall have the right to review and
approve any public announcement made after the date hereof relating to the
Facility, or to Wachovia or FUSI in connection therewith, before any such
announcement is made (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

         This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of North Carolina
and constitute the entire

agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof
and supersede any previous agreement, written or oral, between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Commitment Letter shall
be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the respective successors and
assigns of the parties hereto, but shall not be assigned in whole or in part by
the Borrower without the prior written consent of Wachovia. This Commitment
Letter may not be amended, assigned or any provision hereof waived or modified
except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. The
Commitment is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is
not intended to confer any benefits on, or create any rights in favor of, any
other person or entity. This Commitment Letter may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which, when taken
together, shall constitute one agreement.

         The Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. on June 7, 2002, unless
this Commitment Letter is accepted by the Borrower in writing prior to such time
and, if accepted prior to such time, shall expire at the earlier of (i) Wachovia
discovering or becoming aware of any information not previously disclosed to it
that it believes, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, to be materially
inconsistent with its understanding, based on the information provided to it by
or on behalf of the Borrower prior to the date hereof, of the business,
properties, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the
Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) the occurrence of a
material adverse change in the business, properties, operations, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Borrower and its subsidiaries,
(iii) the cancellation by the Borrower of the IPO and (iv) 5:00 p.m. on August
16, 2002, if the Closing Date shall not have occurred by such time.

         Wachovia and FUSI each agrees to keep confidential, and to not publish,
disclose or otherwise divulge to any party or person, the Information or the
Projections, and to cause its respective officers, directors, employees, agents
and representatives to keep confidential (including for purposes of Regulation
FD), and to not publish, disclose or otherwise divulge to any party or person,
the Information or the Projections, except that Wachovia and FUSI each shall be
permitted to disclose the Information or the Projections (i) to such of its, or
any affiliates', officers, directors, employees, agents, legal counsel and
representatives as need to know such Information or Projections in connection
with the syndication of the Facility and the servicing and protection of its
interests in respect of its loans under the Facility and the transactions
contemplated thereby; (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws and
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, or requested by any
regulatory authority having jurisdiction over it; (iii) to the extent such
Information or Projections (A) become publicly available other than as a result
of a breach of this agreement or (B) becomes available to Wachovia or FUSI on a
non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or its affiliate;
(iv) to prospective Lenders in connection with the syndication of the Facility
as referred to herein; or (v) to the extent that the Borrower shall have
consented to such disclosure in writing. Wachovia and FUSI each agrees that it
will use the Information and Projections only for purposes related to the
Facility and the transactions contemplated hereby. Wachovia and FUSI each agree
that it will not disclose any of the Information or the Projections to any
