                           (i)      The operation of RAS1's and RAS2's
                  businesses as they are now conducted do not, nor does any
                  condition existing at any of the Restaurants, in any manner
                  constitute a nuisance or other tortious interference with the
                  rights of any person or persons in such a manner as to give
                  rise to or constitute the grounds for a suit, action, claim

                  with the appropriate governmental departments of the states
                  where they are required to maintain such accounts, and each

         have on the Closing Date, all licenses, permits, approvals,

         of the Restaurants. All such licenses, permits, approvals,
         authorizations and consents are described in SCHEDULE 4.11.(B), are in

         the terms hereof. Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 4.11.(B), RAS1 and
         RAS2 (including their operations, properties and assets) are and have

         to pollution or protection of the environment, including Laws relating
         to emissions, discharges, generation, storage, releases or threatened
         releases of pollutants, contaminants, chemicals or industrial, toxic,
         hazardous or petroleum or petroleum-based substances or wastes

         contained in any regulations, code, plan, order, decree, judgment,
         injunction, notice or demand letter issued, entered, promulgated or
         approved thereunder. There is no Litigation nor any demand, claim,
         hearing or notice of violation pending or threatened against RAS1 and
         RAS2 relating in any way to the Environmental Laws or any Order
         issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder. There are no past
         or present (or, to the best of RAS1's, RAS2's, and RYE's knowledge,
         future) events, conditions, circumstances, activities, practices,
         incidents, actions, omissions or plans which may interfere with or
         prevent compliance or continued compliance with the Environmental Laws
         or with any Order issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder,
         or which may give rise to any Liability, including, without
         limitation, Liability under CERCLA or similar state or local Laws, or
         otherwise form the basis of any Litigation, hearing, notice of
         violation, study or investigation, based on or related to the

         disposal, transport or handling, or the emission, discharge, release
         or threatened release into the environment, of any Waste.

         marketable title to all the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all
         mortgages, liens (statutory or otherwise), security interests, claims,
         pledges, licenses, equities, options, conditional sales contracts,
         assessments, levies, easements, covenants, reservations, restrictions,
         rights-of-way, exceptions, limitations, charges or encumbrances of any

         not yet due and payable and the interests of the lessors under Real
         Property Leases and Personal Property Leases ("Permitted Real Property
         Liens"). None of the Purchased Assets are subject to any restrictions
         with respect to the transferability thereof. RAS1 and RAS2 have
         complete and unrestricted power and right to sell, assign, convey and
         deliver the Purchased Assets to Buyer as contemplated hereby. At
         Closing, Buyer will receive good and marketable title to all the
         Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Liens of any nature
         whatsoever.

                  4.12.(b)  Condition. All tangible assets (real and personal)
         constituting Purchased Assets hereunder are in good operating
         condition and repair, free from any defects (except such minor defects
         as do not interfere with the use thereof in the conduct of the normal
         operations of RAS1 and RAS2), have been maintained consistent with the
         standards generally followed in the industry and are sufficient to
         carry on the business of RAS1 and RAS2, including the operation of the
         Restaurants, as conducted during the preceding twelve (12) months. All
         buildings and other structures owned or otherwise utilized by RAS1 and
         RAS2 are in good condition and repair and have no structural defects
         or defects affecting the plumbing, electrical, sewerage, or heating,
         ventilating or air conditioning systems.

                  4.12.(c)  No Condemnation or Expropriation. Neither the whole
         nor any portion of the property or any other assets of RAS1 or RAS2 is
         subject to any Order to be sold or is being condemned, expropriated or
         otherwise taken by any Government Entity with or without payment of
         compensation therefor, nor to the best of RAS1's, RAS2's and RYE's
         knowledge has any such condemnation, expropriation or taking been
         proposed.

                  4.12.(d)  No Certified Survey Map Required. No certified
         survey map or other state, municipal, or other governmental approval
         regarding the division, platting, or mapping of real estate is

         (or as a prerequisite to the recording of any conveyance document) of
         any Leased Real Property pursuant to the terms hereof.

cancellation or termination has been received with respect to any such policy
and neither RAS1, RAS2 nor RYE has knowledge of any act or omission that could

         any of the Real Property Leases, and no condition exists which, with

         under any term, covenant or obligation of RAS1, RAS2, RYE or the
         Restaurants.

                  4.14.(b)  Personal Property Leases. Except as set forth in

                  4.14.(d)  Contracts With Affiliates and Certain Others.
         Neither RAS1 nor RAS2 has any agreement, understanding, contract or
         commitment (written or oral) with any Affiliate or any other officer,

         nor RAS2 is a party to nor is either bound by any agreement, deed,
         lease or other instrument which is so burdensome as to materially and
         adversely affect or impair the operation of RAS1 or RAS2. Without
         limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither RAS1 nor RAS2 is a
         party to nor is it bound by any agreement requiring RAS1 or RAS2 to
         assign any interest in any trade secret or proprietary information, or

         than 12 months, or which is otherwise individually material to the
         operations of RAS1 or RAS2, except as explicitly described in any
         Schedule.

                  4.14.(j)  No Default. To their knowledge, neither RAS1 nor
         RAS2 is in default under any lease, contract or commitment, nor has
         any event or omission occurred which through the passage of time or
         the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder
         or cause the acceleration of any of RAS1's or RAS2's obligations or
         result in the creation of any Lien on any of the assets owned, used or
         occupied by RAS1, RAS2 or the Restaurants. To the knowledge of RAS1
         and RAS2, no third party is in default under any lease, contract or
         commitment to which RAS1 or RAS2 is a party, nor has any event or
         omission occurred which, through the passage of time or the giving of
         notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder or give rise to
         an automatic termination, or the right of discretionary termination,
         thereof.

         4.15.    Labor Matters. Neither RAS1 nor RAS2 has experienced any
labor disputes, union organization attempts or any work stoppage due to labor

with all applicable laws respecting employment and employment practices, terms
and conditions of employment and wages and hours, and are not engaged in any
unfair labor practice; (b) there is no unfair labor practice charge or
complaint against RAS1 or RAS2 pending or threatened; (c) there is no labor
strike, dispute, request for representation, slowdown or stoppage actually
pending or threatened against or affecting RAS1 or RAS2 nor any secondary
boycott with respect to products of RAS1 or RAS2; (d) no question concerning
representation has been raised or is threatened respecting the employees of
RAS1 or RAS2; (e) no grievance which might have a material adverse effect on
RAS1 or RAS2, nor any arbitration proceeding arising out of or under collective
bargaining agreements, is pending and no such claim therefor exists; and (f)
there are no administrative charges or court complaints against RAS1 or RAS2
concerning alleged employment discrimination or other employment related
matters pending or threatened before the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission or any Government Entity, except as disclosed on SCHEDULE 4.10.

         4.16.    Employee Benefit Plans. RAS1 and RAS2 have provided and/or
identified each "employee benefit plan," as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA
which (i) is subject to any provision of ERISA and (ii) is or was at any time
during the last five (5) years maintained, administered or contributed to by
RAS1 and RAS2 or any affiliate (as defined in Section 407(d)(7) of ERISA) and
covers any employee or former employee of RAS1 or RAS2 or any affiliate or
under which RAS1 or RAS2 or any affiliate has any liability. Such plans are
referred to collectively herein as the "Employee Plans." None of the Employee
Plans would, individually or collectively, constitute an "employee pension
benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA, including, without
limitation, a "multiemployer plan," as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA, or a
"defined benefit plan," as defined in Section 3(35) and subject to Title IV of
ERISA, and no Employee Plan is maintained in connection with any trust
described in Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. It is understood and agreed that
Buyer is not assuming any Employee Plans or liabilities associated therewith,
and that RAS1 and RAS2 shall retain all such Employee Plans, including all
obligations deriving directly or indirectly from sponsoring or participating in
such Employee Plans.

         Each Employee Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms
and the requirements prescribed by any and all statutes, orders, rules and
regulations, including but not limited to, ERISA and the Code, which are
applicable to such Plan. No assets of RAS1 or RAS2 are or could be subject,
directly or indirectly, to any liability or lien by reason of any action or
inaction taken with respect to any Employee Plan maintained by RAS1 or RAS2.

         RAS1 and RAS2 have no liability in respect of post-retirement health
and medical benefits for retired employees of RAS1 or RAS2 or any Affiliate,
determined using assumptions that are reasonable in the aggregate,

                                      14
<PAGE>   19

over the fair market value of any fund, reserve or other assets segregated for
the purpose of satisfying such liability (including for such purposes any fund
established pursuant to Section 401(h) of the Code). RAS1 and RAS2 have
reserved their rights to amend or terminate any Employee Plan or other benefit
arrangement providing health or medical benefits in respect of any active
employee of RAS1 and RAS2 under the terms of any such plan and descriptions
thereof given to employees. With respect to any Employee Plans which are "group
health plans" under Section 4980B of the Code and Section 607(l) of ERISA,
there has been timely compliance in all material respects with all requirements
imposed thereunder, and under Parts 6 and 7 of Title I of ERISA generally, so
that RAS1 and RAS2 and any affiliate have no (and will not incur any) loss,
assessment, tax penalty or other sanction with respect to any such plan.

         There has been no amendment to, written interpretation or announcement
(whether or not written) by RAS1, RAS2 or any affiliate relating to, or change
in employee participation or coverage under, any Employee Plan which would
increase the expense of maintaining such Employee Plan above the level of the
expense incurred in respect thereof for the fiscal year ended immediately prior
to the Closing Date.

         4.17.    Employment Compensation. SCHEDULE 4.17 contains a true and
correct list of all employees to whom RAS1 or RAS2 is paying compensation,
including bonuses and incentives, at an annual rate in excess of Twenty
Thousand Dollars ($20,000) for services rendered or otherwise; and in the case
of salaried employees such list identifies the current annual rate of
compensation for each employee and in the case of hourly or commission
employees identifies certain reasonable ranges of rates and the number of
employees falling within each such range.

         4.18.    Trade Rights. In order to conduct the business of RAS1, RAS2
and the Restaurants as such is currently being conducted or proposed to be
conducted, neither RAS1 nor RAS2 requires any Trade Rights that it does not
already have. Neither RAS1 nor RAS2 is infringing and has not infringed any
Trade Rights of another in the operation of the business of RAS1 and RAS2, nor
is any other person infringing the Trade Rights of RAS1 or RAS2. Neither RAS1
nor RAS2 has granted any license or made any assignment of any Trade Right, and
no other person has any right to use any Trade Right owned or held by RAS1 and
RAS2, except for other operators of Outback Steakhouse(R) restaurants. Neither
RAS1 nor RAS2 pays any royalties or other consideration for the right to use
any Trade Rights of others, except for the payments to Buyer. There is no
Litigation pending or threatened to challenge RAS1's or RAS2's right, title and
interest with respect to its continued use and right to preclude others from
using any Trade Rights of RAS1 and RAS2. All Trade Rights of RAS1 and RAS2 are
valid, enforceable and in good standing, and there are no equitable defenses to
enforcement based on any act or omission of RAS1 or RAS2.

         4.19.    Major Suppliers. SCHEDULE 4.19. contains a list of the five
(5) largest suppliers to RAS1 and RAS2 for each of the two (2) most recent
fiscal years (determined on the basis of the total dollar amount of purchases)
showing the total dollar amount of purchases from each such supplier during
each such year. Neither RAS1, RAS2 nor RYE has any knowledge or information of
any facts indicating, nor any other reason to believe, that any of the
suppliers listed on SCHEDULE 4.19. will not continue to be suppliers to the
business of RAS1 and RAS2 after the Closing and will not continue to supply the
Restaurants with substantially the same quantity and quality of goods at
competitive prices.

         4.20.    Affiliates' Relationships to Company.

                  4.20.(a) Contracts With Affiliates. All leases, contracts,
         agreements or other arrangements between RAS1 or RAS2 and any
         Affiliate are described on SCHEDULE 4.20.(A).

                  4.20.(b) No Adverse Interests. Other than RY-8, Inc. (as a
         joint venture partner with OS Pacific,

                                      15

         Venture"), no Affiliate has any direct or indirect interest in (i) any
         entity which does business with RAS1 or RAS2 or is competitive with
         RAS1's or RAS2's business, or (ii) any property, asset or right which
         is used by RAS1 or RAS2 in the conduct of its business or the
         operation of the Restaurants.

                  4.20.(c) Obligations. All obligations of any Affiliate to
         RAS1 or RAS2, and all obligations of RAS1 or RAS2 to any Affiliate,
         are listed on SCHEDULE 4.20.(C).

all property and assets (except for the Excluded Assets), tangible and
intangible, and all leases, licenses and other agreements, which are necessary
to permit Buyer to carry on, or currently used or held for use in, the business
of RAS1 and RAS2 as presently conducted.

         4.24.    No Brokers or Finders. Neither RAS1 nor RAS2 nor any of their
directors, officers, employees, managers, partners, members or agents have
retained, employed or used any broker or finder in connection with the
transaction provided for herein or in connection with the negotiation thereof.

         4.25.    Disclosure. No representation or warranty by RAS1, RAS2
and/or RYE in this Agreement, nor any statement, certificate, schedule,
document or exhibit hereto furnished or to be furnished by or on behalf of
RAS1, RAS2 or RYE pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with transactions

fact or omits or shall omit a material fact necessary to make the statements

partner of Buyer. No other partnership act or proceeding on the part of Buyer
is necessary to authorize this Agreement or the other documents and instruments
to be executed and delivered by Buyer pursuant hereto or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. This Agreement constitutes,

6.       EMPLOYEES - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

         6.1.     Affected Employees. "Affected Employees" shall mean employees
of the RAS1 and RAS2 who are employed by Buyer immediately after the Closing.

         6.2.     Retained Responsibilities. RAS1 and RAS2 agree to satisfy, or
cause their insurance carriers to satisfy, all claims for benefits, whether
insured or otherwise (including, but not limited to, workers' compensation,
life insurance, medical and disability programs), under RAS1's or RAS2's
employee benefit programs brought by, or in respect of, Affected Employees and
other employees and former employees of the RAS1 and RAS2, which claims arise
out of events occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, in accordance with the
terms and conditions of such programs or applicable workers' compensation
statutes without interruption as a result of the employment by Buyer of any
such employees after the Closing Date.

         6.3.     Payroll Tax. RAS1 and RAS2 have made a clean cut-off of
payroll and payroll tax reporting with respect to the Affected Employees paying
over to the federal, state and city governments those amounts respectively

action on the part of RAS1 or RAS2 prior to the Closing, or if the sale to
Buyer of the business and assets of RAS1 or RAS2 pursuant to this Agreement or
the transactions contemplated hereby, or if the failure by Buyer to hire as a
permanent employee of Buyer any employee of RAS1 or RAS2, shall directly or
indirectly result in any Liability (i) for severance payments or termination
benefits or (ii) by virtue of any state, federal or local law, such Liability
shall be the sole responsibility of RAS1, RAS2 and RYE, and RAS1, RAS2 and RYE
shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer against such
Liability.

implied, is intended to confer upon any of RAS1's or RAS2's employees, former
employees, collective bargaining representatives, job applicants, any
association or group of such persons or any Affected Employees, any rights or
remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any rights of employment.

         7.3      Noncompetition; Confidentiality. Subject to the Closing, and
as an inducement to Buyer to execute this Agreement and complete the
transactions contemplated hereby, and in order to preserve the goodwill
associated with the Restaurants and the business of RAS1 and RAS2 being
acquired pursuant to this Agreement, and in addition to and not in limitation
of any covenants contained in any agreement executed and delivered pursuant to
SECTION 7.3 hereof, RAS1, RAS2 and RYE hereby covenant and agree as follows:

                  7.3(a)   Noncompetition. For a two (2) year period commencing
         on the Closing Date, neither RAS1, RAS2 nor RYE shall, individually or
         jointly with others, directly or indirectly, whether for their own
         account or for that of any other person or entity, engage in or own or
         hold any ownership interest in any person or entity engaged in a
         restaurant business with a theme, decor or principal food the same as
         or similar to that of any restaurant business of the Buyer or its
         Affiliates (including, but not limited to, Italian or steakhouse
         restaurants), and which is located or intended to be located anywhere
         within a radius of thirty (30) miles of any restaurant owned or
         operated by the Buyer or its Affiliates or any proposed restaurant to
         be owned or operated by any of the foregoing, and neither RAS1, RAS2
         nor RYE shall act as a partner, consultant, principal, agent, or in
         any other capacity for, nor lend any assistance (financial or
         otherwise) or cooperation to, any such person, or entity; PROVIDED,
         HOWEVER, that it shall not be a violation of this SECTION 7.3(A) for
         RAS1, RAS2 or RYE to own a one percent (1%) or smaller interest in any
         corporation required to file periodic reports with the Securities and
         Exchange Commission. For purposes of this SECTION 7.3(A), restaurants
         owned or operated by the Buyer shall include restaurants operated or
         owned by an Affiliate of the Buyer, any successor entity to the Buyer,
         and any entity in which the Buyer has an interest, including but not
         limited to, an interest as franchisor. The term "proposed restaurant"
         shall include all locations for which the Buyer or its Affiliates is
         conducting active, bona fide negotiations to secure a fee or leasehold
         interest with the intention of establishing a restaurant thereon.

                  7.3.(b)  Nondisclosure; Nonsolicitation. At no time prior to
         or subsequent to Closing, shall RAS1, RAS2 or RYE, for the benefit of
         RAS1, RAS2, RYE or any third party, publish, disclose, use, or
         authorize anyone else to publish, disclose, or use, any secret or
         confidential material or information relating to any aspect of the
         business or operations of the Buyer, its Affiliates or the
         Restaurants, including, without limitation, any secret or confidential
         information relating to the business, customers, trade or industrial
         practices, trade secrets, technology, recipes or know-how of any of
         the Buyer or its Affiliates. Moreover, for a period of two (2) years
         from the Closing, neither RAS1, RAS2 nor RYE shall offer employment to
         any employee of the Buyer or its Affiliates, or otherwise solicit or
         induce any employee of either of the Buyer or its Affiliates to
         terminate their employment, nor shall RAS1, RAS2 or

                                      18
<PAGE>   23

         RYE act as a partner, consultant, principal, agent, owner or part
         owner, or in any other capacity, for any person or entity which
         solicits or otherwise induces any employee of the Buyer or its
         Affiliates to terminate their employment.

                  7.3.(c)  Reasonableness of Restrictions; Reformation;
         Enforcement. The parties hereto recognize and acknowledge that the
         geographical and time limitations contained in SECTION 7.3(A) AND (B)
         hereof are reasonable and properly required for the adequate
         protection of the Buyer's interests. RAS1, RAS2 and RYE acknowledge
         that all rights of RAS1, RAS2 and RYE to the Outback Steakhouse(R)
         trademarks and restaurant operating system have been transferred to
         Buyer (or terminated) pursuant to this Agreement in reliance on the
         covenants contained in SECTION 7.3 hereof. It is agreed by the parties
         hereto that if any portion of the restrictions contained in SECTION
         7.3 are held to be unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy,
         then the restrictions shall be considered divisible, both as to the
         time and to the geographical area, with each month of the specified
         period being deemed a separate period of time and each radius mile of
         the restricted territory being deemed a separate geographical area, so
         that the lesser period of time or geographical area shall remain
         effective so long as the same is not unreasonable, arbitrary, or
         against public policy. The parties hereto agree that in the event any
         court of competent jurisdiction determines the specified period or the
         specified geographical area of the restricted territory to be
         unreasonable, arbitrary, or against public policy, a lesser time
         period or geographical area which is determined to be reasonable,
         nonarbitrary, and not against public policy may be enforced against
         RAS1, RAS2 and RYE. If RAS1, RAS2 or RYE shall violate any of the
         covenants contained herein and if any court action is instituted by
         the Buyer to prevent or enjoin such violation, then the period of time
         during which the against RAS1's, RAS2's or RYE's business activities
         shall be restricted, as provided in this Agreement, shall be
         lengthened by a period of time equal to the period between the date of
         the RAS1, RAS2 or RYE's breach of the terms or covenants contained in
         this Agreement and the date on which the decree of the court disposing
         of the issues upon the merits shall become final and not subject to
         further appeal.

         In the event it is necessary for the Buyer to initiate legal
         proceedings to enforce, interpret or construe any of the covenants
         contained in SECTION 7.3 hereof, the prevailing party in such
         proceedings shall be entitled to receive from the non-prevailing party,
         in addition to all other remedies, all costs, including reasonable
         attorneys' fees, of such proceedings including appellate proceedings.

                  7.3.(d)  Specific Performance. RAS1, RAS2 and RYE agree that
         a breach of any of the covenants contained in SECTION 7.3 hereof will
         cause irreparable injury to the Buyer for which the remedy at law will
         be inadequate and would be difficult to ascertain and therefore, in
         the event of the breach or threatened breach of any such covenants,
         the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and
         remedies it may have at law or in equity, to obtain an injunction to
         restrain RAS1, RAS2 and RYE from any threatened or actual activities
         in violation of any such covenants. RAS1, RAS2 and RYE hereby consent
         and agree that temporary and permanent injunctive relief may be
         granted in any proceedings which might be brought to enforce any such
         covenants without the necessity of proof of actual damages, and in the
         event the Buyer does apply for such an injunction, neither RAS1, RAS2
         nor RYE shall raise as a defense thereto that the Buyer has an
         adequate remedy at law.

         7.4.     Use of Name. Following the Closing, neither RAS1 nor RAS2 nor
any Affiliate of them shall, without the prior written consent of Buyer, make
any use of the name "Outback" or any other name confusingly similar thereto,
except in connection with the Roy's/Outback Joint Venture and as may be
necessary for RAS1 or RAS2 to pay its liabilities, prepare tax returns and
other reports, and to otherwise wind up and conclude its business.

                                      19
<PAGE>   24

         7.5.     Sales Tax Matters. At or prior to the Closing, RAS1 and RAS2
shall obtain a sales tax clearance certificate from the Hawaii Department of
Taxation.

         7.6.     Unemployment Compensation. RAS1 and RAS2 shall, upon the
request of Buyer, cooperate with Buyer in any efforts by Buyer to obtain the
transfer of RAS1's and RAS2's portion of the Hawaii unemployment compensation
fund, if any, or rating applicable to Affected Employees, to the extent Buyer
elects to transfer and assume such amounts or rating. In connection therewith,
RAS1 and RAS2 will execute such documents as Buyer may reasonably request in
order to effectuate such transfer.

         7.7.     Bulk Sales Compliance. Following the execution of this
Agreement, unless compliance with this SECTION 7.7 is waived by Buyer, Buyer,
RAS1, RAS2 and RYE shall cooperate in complying with all provisions of the bulk
sales or bulk transfer statutes of all states having jurisdiction, in such a
way as to provide Buyer the greatest measure of protection against the
creditors of RAS1 and RAS2 allowable under all such statutes.

8.       FURTHER COVENANTS OF RAS1, RAS2 AND RYE

         RAS1, RAS2, and RYE covenant and agree as follows:

         8.1.     Access to Information and Records. During the period prior to
the Closing, RAS1 and RAS2 shall give Buyer, its counsel, accountants and other
representatives (i) access during normal business hours to all of the
properties, books, records, contracts and documents of RAS1 and RAS2 for the
purpose of such inspection, investigation and testing as Buyer deems
appropriate (and RAS1 and RAS2 shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Buyer
and its representatives all information with respect to the business and
affairs of RAS1 and RAS2 as Buyer may request); (ii) access to employees,
agents and representatives for the purposes of such meetings and communications

                  8.2.(b)  Maintain Organization. RAS1 and RAS2 will take such
         action as may be necessary to maintain, preserve, renew and keep in
         favor and effect the existence, rights and franchises of RAS1 and RAS2
         and will use its best efforts to preserve the business organization of
         RAS1 and RAS2 intact, to keep available to Buyer the present officers
         and employees, and to preserve for Buyer its present relationships
         with suppliers and customers and others having business relationships
         with RAS1 and RAS2.

                  8.2.(c)  No Breach. RAS1, RAS2 and RYE will not do or omit
         any act, or permit any omission to act, which may cause a breach of
         any material contract, commitment or obligation, or any breach of any
         representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by RAS1, RAS2
         and/or RYE herein, or which would have required disclosure on SCHEDULE
         4.8 had it occurred after the date of the Financials and prior to the
         date of this Agreement.

                  8.2.(d)  No Material Contracts. No contract or commitment

         course of business and consistent with past practice, are not material
         to the RAS1 or RAS2 (individually or in the aggregate) and would not
         have been required to be disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules had
         they been in existence on the date of this Agreement.

indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, and its directors, officers,

         indemnified (whether one or more, the

                                      23
<PAGE>   28

         "Indemnified Party") will give the party from whom indemnification is
         sought (the "Indemnifying Party") prompt written notice of any such
         Claim, and the Indemnifying Party will undertake the defense thereof
         by representatives chosen by it. Failure to give such notice shall not
         affect the Indemnifying Party's duty or obligations under this ARTICLE
         11, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.
         So long as the Indemnifying Party is defending any such Claim actively
         and in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not settle such Claim.
         The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party
         or its representatives all records and other materials required by
         them and in the possession or under the control of the Indemnified
         Party, for the use of the Indemnifying Party and its representatives
         in defending any such Claim, and shall in other respects give
         reasonable cooperation in such defense.

                  11.3.(b) Failure to Defend. If the Indemnifying Party, within
         a reasonable time after notice of any such Claim, fails to defend such
         Claim actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Party will (upon
         further notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or
         settlement of such Claim or consent to the entry of a judgment with
         respect to such Claim, on behalf of and for the account and risk of
         the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter
         have no right to challenge the Indemnified Party's defense,
         compromise, settlement or consent to judgment.

                  11.3.(c) Indemnified Party's Rights. Anything in this ARTICLE
         11 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) if there is a reasonable
         probability that a Claim may materially and adversely affect the
         Indemnified Party other than as a result of money damages or other
         money payments, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend,
         compromise or settle such Claim, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall
         not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or
         compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which
         does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the
         claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from
         all Liability in respect of such Claim.

         11.4.    Payment. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay the
Indemnified Party any amount due under this ARTICLE 11, which payment may be
accomplished in whole or in part, at the option of the Indemnified Party, by
the Indemnified Party setting off any amount owed to the Indemnifying Party by
the Indemnified Party. To the extent set-off is made by an Indemnified Party in
satisfaction or partial satisfaction of an indemnity obligation under this
ARTICLE 11 that is disputed by the Indemnifying Party, upon a subsequent
determination by final judgment not subject to appeal that all or a portion of
such indemnity obligation was not owed to the Indemnified Party, the
Indemnified Party shall pay the Indemnifying Party the amount which was set off
and not owed together with interest from the date of set-off until the date of
such payment at an annual rate equal to eight percent (8%). Upon judgment,
determination, settlement or compromise of any third party Claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall pay promptly on behalf of the Indemnified Party,
and/or to the Indemnified Party in reimbursement of any amount theretofore
required to be paid by it, the amount so determined by judgment, determination,
settlement or compromise and all other Claims of the Indemnified Party with
respect thereto, unless in the case of a judgment an appeal is made from the
judgment. If the Indemnifying Party desires to appeal from an adverse judgment,
then the Indemnifying Party shall post and pay the cost of the security or bond
to stay execution of the judgment pending appeal. Upon the payment in full by
the Indemnifying Party of such amounts, the Indemnifying Party shall succeed to
the rights of such Indemnified Party, to the extent not waived in settlement,
against the third party who made such third party Claim.

         11.5.    No Waiver. The closing of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver by any party of its rights to
indemnification hereunder, regardless of whether the party seeking
indemnification has knowledge of the breach, violation or failure of condition
constituting the basis of the Claim at or before the Closing, and regardless of
whether such breach, violation or failure is deemed to be "material".

         11.6.    Survival of Indemnification. The indemnification obligations
of the parties contained in this

                                      24
<PAGE>   29

Article 11 shall survive the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date for a

of the applicable statute of limitations for such tax obligations.

issued any options or warrants that cover any of the Shares and no Seller is
not a party

                                       2
<PAGE>   6

to any shareholder agreement, voting trust or other agreement that would
prevent such Seller from selling the Shares to Buyer as contemplated in this
Agreement.

         Section 2.06.     Liability for Company Obligations. Attached to this
Agreement as Schedule 2.06 is a complete list and description of all notes and
other financial obligations and of all leases and other contractual obligations
of Company for which any Seller has accepted personal liability as a co-maker,
guarantor or surety. Except as listed and described in Schedule 2.06, no Seller
is liable as co-maker, guarantor or surety for any financial or contractual
obligation of Company.

         Section 2.07.     Financial Statements. Company has furnished to Buyer
a balance sheet of Company at December 31, 1999 and an income statement of
Company for the year then ended, both audited by the firm of Ernst & Young (the
"Financial Statements").

                  (a)      The Financial Statements fairly present Company's
financial condition at December 31, 1999 and the results of its operations for
the year then ended in accordance with Korean generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied, reconciled to U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. The Financial Statements reflect no significant items of
income or expense that were unusual or of a nonrecurring nature.

                  (b)      The Company's books and records have been maintained
in accordance with applicable legal and accounting requirements and good
business practices, and the Financial Statements reflect only valid
transactions. All contingent liabilities of and unasserted claims against
Company are fully and accurately reflected in the Financial Statements.

                  (c)      Except for contractual liabilities and obligations
incurred in the ordinary course of business since December 31, 1999, the
Financial Statements reflect all liabilities and obligations of Company,
accrued, contingent or otherwise, that arose out of transactions effected or
events that occurred on or prior to the Closing Date. All allowances and
reserves shown in the Financial Statements are appropriate, reasonable and
sufficient to provide for anticipated expenses and losses. Company is not
liable on or with respect to, or obligated in any way to provide funds in
respect of or to guarantee or assume in any manner, any debt or obligation of
any other person.

         Section 2.08.     No Material Adverse Change. Since the date of the
Financial Statements, there has not been any material adverse change in the
financial condition, results of operations, business, prospects, assets or
liabilities (actual or contingent) of Company, and Company has not (i)
declared, paid or distributed any dividend or any distribution on or with
respect to the Common Stock; (ii) redeemed or repurchased, or authorized the
redemption or repurchase of, any shares of Common Stock; (iii) incurred any
long-term debt or signed any lease with a term in excess of three years; (iv)
implemented or promised any salary, bonus or compensation increases to any
officers, employees or agents of Company; (v) experienced or been notified of

         Section 2.09.     Taxes. Company has filed proper and accurate tax
returns, reports and estimates for all periods with respect to which such
returns, reports and estimates were due. All taxes shown in such returns,
reports and estimates to be payable have been paid or adequate provision for
their payment has been made. There is not in force any extension of the date on
which any tax return was or is due, or any waiver or agreement for the

Neither Company nor any landlord is in material default under any such lease
and no event or condition exists which, with the giving of notice, the passage
of time, or both, would constitute a default under any such lease. There are no
lawsuits, condemnation proceedings or other actions pending, threatened or
contemplated that might result in the eviction or dispossession of Company from
the premises covered by any such lease.

                  (b)      Except as otherwise indicated in Schedule 2.13,

encumbrance.

                  (c)      All properties and assets material to Company's

necessary to the conduct of its business as conducted before the Closing.

days following the Closing, Buyer will take commercially reasonable steps
either to (i) refinance, (ii) provide a substitute guarantee for, or (iii) pay
any debt or lease obligation that is listed as a personal obligation of any
Seller on Schedule 2.06, and to obtain the Seller's release from liability

Sellers harmless from and against any payments any of them is required to make
or any securities any of them is required to forfeit after the Closing Date
with respect to an obligation listed on Schedule 2.06.

         Section 8.02.     Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

                  (a)      Each Seller especially agrees that, for five years
after the Closing Date (the "Non-Competition Period"), except for services
performed for Company, neither he nor any of his affiliates will, directly or
indirectly, either as an individual, partner, joint venturer

                                      11
<PAGE>   15

or in any other capacity, purchase, invest in (other than in up to 1% of the
securities of publicly-owned companies), manage, accept employment by, provide
consulting services to, serve on the Board of Directors of, or otherwise become
associated with any business that operates restaurants in Korea, if such
restaurants, on average, derive 25% or more of their revenues from the sale of
steak.

                  (b)      During the Non-Competition Period, no Seller will
not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, induce, or attempt to persuade any
employee of Company, Buyer or its affiliates or any person who was an employee
of Company or Buyer or its affiliates within the four-month period immediately
preceding such solicitation to accept employment in any position by a Seller or
anyone else.

         Section 8.03.     Confidentiality. Each Seller acknowledges that all
written and oral information he has received with respect to Company's
operations, suppliers, standards, finances, marketing strategies and personnel
is confidential information that is proprietary either to Company or to Buyer.
Sellers especially agree that, for the longest period permitted by applicable
law, none of them will use any part of such confidential information for his
own benefit, nor will any of them disclose or divulge any part of such
confidential information to any other person, for or without compensation.

         Section 8.04.     Consideration. The parties acknowledge that the
provisions of Sections 8.02 and 8.03 are supported by valuable consideration,
and that Buyer's agreement to purchase the Shares for the Purchase Price is
conditioned upon its receipt of the protection provided in this Article VIII.
The parties further acknowledge that the scope and duration of the covenants
set forth in this Article VIII are in all respects reasonable. The parties
agree that, if Sellers' non-competition agreement is determined by a court to
be unenforceable as written, such agreement shall be reformed by the court to
the minimum extent necessary to render it enforceable and, as so reformed,
shall be enforced by the court.

         Section 8.05.     Equitable Relief. Each Seller acknowledges and
agrees that his breach of the agreements in this Article VIII could not be
adequately compensated with monetary damages, but would irreparably injure
Buyer and Company. Accordingly, Sellers agree that injunctive relief and
specific performance will be appropriate remedies to enforce the provisions of
this Article VIII, and each Seller waives any claim or defense that an adequate
remedy at law for such breach exists. Nothing in this Article VIII shall limit
the remedies, legal or equitable, otherwise available to Buyer.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                 MISCELLANEOUS

STATING THAT THE NOTIFYING PARTY DESIRES TO HAVE A PARTICULAR DISPUTE REVIEWED
BY A BOARD OF THREE ARBITRATORS, AND (II) NAMING ONE PERSON WHOM SUCH PARTY

document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) waive such other
party's performance of any of the obligations set out in this Agreement.

         Section 9.04.     Survival of Representations and Warranties. The

notwithstanding any investigation of the assets, properties, books, records and

subject to the limitations expressed in the last two sentences of this Section
9.05, Sellers will promptly indemnify Buyer and Company and will jointly and
severally hold Buyer and Company harmless from and against all damages, losses

reimburse Buyer and Company with respect to all Losses, regardless of amount.
