    AMENDMENT
TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

    

    

    This Amendment to Employment Agreement
(this "Amendment") is made effective as of January 1, 2009, by and between OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC
(the "Company"), and Chris T.
Sullivan (the "Executive").

    

    Background
Information

    

               The
parties to this Amendment (the "Parties") entered into an Officer Employment
Agreement as of June 14, 2007 (the "Employment Agreement"), regarding the
Executive's employment relationship with the Company.  The Parties
desire to amend the Employment Agreement in order to comply with the final
Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Employment Agreement, as amended by this
Amendment, is hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Agreement."

    

    Amendment of the Employment
Agreement

    

    The Parties hereby acknowledge the
accuracy of the foregoing Background Information and hereby agree as
follows:

    

    1. Definitions.  All
capitalized terms used in this Agreement but which are not otherwise defined
herein, shall have the respective meanings given those terms in the Employment
Agreement, as applicable.

     

    2. Business
Expenses.  Section  4 (c) of the Agreement is hereby
amended by adding the following to the end thereof:

     

    "If any reimbursements under this
provision are taxable to the Executive, such reimbursements shall be paid on or
before the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the
reimbursable expense was incurred, and the Company shall not be obligated to pay
any such reimbursement amount for which Executive fails to submit an invoice or
other documented reimbursement request at least thirty (30) business days before
the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the
expense was incurred.  Such expenses shall be reimbursable only to the
extent they were incurred during the term of the Agreement.  In
addition, the amount of such reimbursements that the Company is obligated to pay
in any given calendar year shall not affect the amount the Company is obligated
to pay in any other calendar year.  Further, Executive may not
liquidate or exchange the right to reimbursement of such expenses for any other
benefits."

    

    3. Benefits. Section 4(d) of the
Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following to the end
thereof:

     

    "Such benefits shall be provided in
accordance with any applicable policy, program or plan
provisions.  Any taxable welfare benefits provided to the Executive
pursuant to this Section 4 that are not ‘disability pay’ or ‘death benefits’
within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(a)(5) (collectively,
the ‘Applicable Benefits’) shall be subject to the following requirements in
order to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code").  The amount of any Applicable Benefits provided
during one taxable

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    year
shall not affect the amount of the Applicable Benefits provided in any other
taxable year, except that with respect to any Applicable Benefits that consist
of the reimbursement of expenses referred to in Code Section 105(b), a
limitation may be imposed on the amount of such reimbursements as described in
Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(iv)(B).  To the extent that
any Applicable Benefits consist of the reimbursement of eligible expenses, such
reimbursement must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year
following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred, and Company shall
not be obligated to reimburse any expense for which the Executive fails to
submit an invoice or other documented reimbursement request at least thirty (30)
business days before the end of the calendar year next following the calendar
year in which the expense for any such reimbursement was
incurred.  Further, no Applicable Benefits may be liquidated or
exchanged for another benefit."

    

    4. Termination
of Employment and Severance Benefits.  Section
5 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new sub-sections
(h) and (i) to the end thereof:

     

     "(h)
Termination of Employment for all purposes under this Agreement will be
determined to have occurred in accordance with the ‘separation from service’
requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations and other
guidance issued thereunder, and based on whether the facts and circumstances
indicate that Company and Executive reasonably anticipated that no further
services would be performed after a certain date or that the level of bona fide
services Executive would perform after such date (as an employee or as an
independent contractor) would permanently decrease to no more than 20 percent of
the average level of bona fide services performed over the immediately preceding
36-month period (or actual period of service, if less).

     

    (i) Such
benefits shall be provided in accordance with any applicable policy, program or
plan provisions.  Any taxable welfare benefits provided to the
Executive pursuant to this Section 5 that are not Applicable Benefits shall be
subject to the following requirements in order to comply with Code Section
409A.  The amount of any Applicable Benefits provided during one
taxable year shall not affect the amount of the Applicable Benefits provided in
any other taxable year, except that with respect to any Applicable Benefits that
consist of the reimbursement of expenses referred to in Code Section 105(b), a
limitation may be imposed on the amount of such reimbursements as described in
Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(iv)(B).  To the extent that
any Applicable Benefits consist of the reimbursement of eligible expenses, such
reimbursement must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year
following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred, and Company shall
not be obligated to reimburse any expense for which the Executive fails to
submit an invoice or other documented reimbursement request at least thirty (30)
business days before the end of the calendar year next following the calendar
year in which the expense for any such reimbursement was
incurred.  Further, no Applicable Benefits may be liquidated or
exchanged for another benefit."

     

    5. Section 409A.  Section
21 is hereby added to the end of the Agreement to read as follows:

     

    "21.  Code Section
409A.  The Company makes no representation as to whether any
such payment or any part thereof constitutes or may constitute non-qualified
deferred compensation. Neither the Company nor any of its directors, officers,
employees, agents or professional advisors shall have any liability to the
Executive or any other person or any amounts incurred by Executive or any other
such person by reason of the determination made by the Board of Managers
pursuant to this paragraph or any action taken or omitted by the Board, the
Company, or any of the Company’s managers, officers, employees, agents
or

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    professional
advisors in the course of, or as a result of, making such determination. For
purposes of this Agreement, all rights to payments and benefits hereunder shall
be treated as rights to receive a series of separate payments and benefits to
the fullest extent allowed by Code Section 409A."

    

    6. The terms
and conditions of the Agreement between Company and Executive that are
unaffected by this Amendment remain in full force and effect.

     

    

     

    IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, intending to be legally bound, have executed
this Amendment on the 31st day of
December, 2008.
