                           Corporation, et al.: Case No.: 99-4608-CA-2
                           ---------------------------------------------------

Dear Scott:

Upon your countersignature below, this document will constitute an agreement to
settle the claims brought against all of the defendants by all plaintiffs in the
above-captioned action, with the exception of Barras Investments, including
those that previously dismissed their claims against the defendants without
prejudice (collectively, the "Shareholders"):

I. PRELIMINARY ISSUES

         A. Within 30 days after the execution of this term sheet, defendants'
counsel shall distribute for Shareholders' counsel's review and comment drafts
of the documents necessary for a closing with respect to the agreement outlined
in this term sheet.

         B. Shareholders' counsel will return comments, if any, to the draft
documents to defendants' counsel within 5 days after receipt of the draft
documents.

         C. A closing will take place within 50 days after execution of this
term sheet, and upon agreement to formal documentation, consistent with the
terms hereof, as to which all parties hereto bind themselves to negotiate in
good faith.

         D. Discovery shall be stayed through the closing date or November 15,
1999, if no closing occurs by that date. Discovery with respect to Barras
Investments shall be stayed for 10 days from the date hereof in order to pursue
settlement possibilities with Barras Investments. In the event that an agreement
is reached with respect to Barras Investments, discovery will be stayed pursuant
to the same terms as shall apply to the Shareholders.

II. CONSIDERATION

         A. At the closing, all outstanding shares of preferred stock (other
than the 370 shares of preferred stock owned by Barras Investments), shall be
increased in number by 18% for no additional consideration, and then exchanged
for Chicken Kitchen Corporation Class A common stock at a fixed conversion rate
of 30(cent) per dollar of preferred stock (the "Conversion Rate"). The total
aggregate face amount of the Shareholders' preferred stock at the time of this
conversion shall be referred to as the "Face Value at Closing," and the
aggregate number of shares of common stock to be received by the Shareholders
pursuant to the transaction set forth in this paragraph shall be referred to as

<PAGE>   2

the "Exchanged Shares." By way of example, if at the time of the closing, the
number of preferred shares to be exchanged for common, after calculating the 18%
increase, is 4,000, these preferred shares would be exchanged for 13,333,333
shares of Chicken Kitchen Class A common stock. No dividends shall be due on the
Preferred Stock subject to this Agreement. Chicken Kitchen agrees not to argue
or take the position at any point or time that the purchase date for purposes of
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 for the Exchanged Shares
is different from the original purchase date of the Preferred Stock which is
being exchanged pursuant to this Agreement.

         B. If any Event of Default, as defined below, shall occur within the
earlier of: (i) 12 months after the closing, (plus in the event that during that
period Chicken Kitchen is removed as a trading security on the OTC Bulletin
Board, the number of days in which Chicken Kitchen is not listed as a trading
security on the OTC Bulletin Board); or (ii) while the Shareholders continue to
own more than 10% of the Exchanged Shares, Chicken Kitchen shall give prompt
written notice to the Shareholders of the happening of such Event of Default.
Thereupon, the Shareholders shall deliver to Chicken Kitchen all of the
remaining Exchanged Shares still owned by Shareholders in exchange for a
promissory note (the "Note") (in lieu of their common stock) in an amount
calculated as follows: the Face Value at Closing less the proceeds from the sale
of any Chicken Kitchen common stock realized by any of the Shareholders since
closing, (the "Stock Balance"), times 1.35. This Note shall be placed into
escrow at the time of the closing, and shall only be effective and delivered to
the Shareholders as set forth in this paragraph. The Note shall accrue simple
interest at 10% per annum from the time of the Event of Default and mature and
be due and payable on the later of 60 days after the occurrence of the Event of
Default and return of all shares of common stock held by the Shareholders to
Chicken Kitchen.

         C. The following shall constitute an Event of Default:

                  1. Failure of Chicken Kitchen to remain current with the
financial information required under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933;

                  2. The removal of Chicken Kitchen as a security trading on the
OTC Bulletin Board for a period exceeding 120 consecutive days;

                  3. A reverse stock split of Chicken Kitchen stock;

                  4. Any issuance of new Chicken Kitchen common stock or any
security convertible into or exercisable for Chicken Kitchen common stock (the
parties agree that the issuance of options and/or rights to receive common stock
that are not exercisable or convertible until the earlier of 12 months after the
closing, plus the number of days during that period, if any, that Chicken
Kitchen is not listed as a trading security on the OTC Bulletin Board, or the
time at which fewer than 10% of the total number of Exchanged Shares are owned
by the Shareholders shall not violate this provision);

                  5. Issuance of debt that provides an interest to any third
party that would be senior to the Note, except that Chicken Kitchen Corporation
shall be permitted to incur new debt secured by the assets of Chicken Kitchen
Corporation in a maximum amount of $1,500,000.00 (the "Exempted Debt") and
subject to the following:

                           a. Chicken Kitchen shall use the proceeds from the
Exempted Debt only in the ordinary course of business for working capital or to
acquire or build new restaurants.

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

                           b. Without the written permission of the
Shareholders, Chicken Kitchen shall not use the proceeds from the Exempted Debt
to make officer or shareholder loans, purchase stock in any other publicly
traded company, or loan or advance money to or on behalf of any relative of any
officer or director of Chicken Kitchen, or any company controlled by any such
officer or relative.

         D. At the closing, Chicken Kitchen's president, Christian Mahe de
Berdouare shall deposit two million of his shares of Chicken Kitchen common
stock (the "Deposited Shares") into an escrow account as collateral security, to
be maintained by Joel Bernstein, Esq., or alternatively, by another attorney
licensed to practice in the State of Florida. This stock shall be utilized only
as follows: If: (i) the Note becomes effective as set forth herein; AND (ii) the
Note is not paid by 5 p.m. on the date it becomes due as set forth herein, the
escrow agent shall tender the Deposited Shares to the Shareholders, who shall
sell the shares (in accordance with Rule 144) to reduce the amount owed under
the Note. The Deposited Shares shall be returned to the depositor if: (i) the
Note does not become effective, or (ii) the Note becomes effective as set forth
herein and is paid on or before its due date.

         E. At the closing, the parties hereto shall enter into a Voting
Agreement on behalf of themselves and their affiliates, officers, directors,
employees, and immediate family members, the terms of which shall provide that
the Shareholders will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board
of Directors of Chicken Kitchen Corporation on all matters except where such
matter would either constitute an Event of Default, or directly alter the terms
of the Note or this Agreement.

         F. All Class B common stock shall remain in effect, except that these
shares may not be voted to effectuate what would constitute an Event of Default
hereunder, or directly alter the terms of the Note or this Agreement.

         G. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the
earlier to occur of 12 months after the date of closing, (plus in the event that
during that period Chicken Kitchen is removed as a trading security on the OTC
Bulletin Board, the number of days in which Chicken Kitchen is not listed as a
trading security on the OTC Bulletin Board), or the time at which fewer than 10%
of the total number of Exchanged Shares are owned by the Shareholders: (i) none
of the actions outlined as Events of Default hereunder shall constitute Events
of Default; and (ii) the Note, if not previously issued, cannot become effective
under any circumstances.

         H. Chicken Kitchen shall demand that CRG prepare and deliver a
marketing plan to Chicken Kitchen prior to the closing, which marketing plan
shall cover the 12 month period after the closing.

         I. On or after the date of the closing, Chicken Kitchen shall direct
its transfer agent to honor requests to transfer shares of Chicken Kitchen
Corporation sold by any of the Shareholders in accordance with Rule 144.

         J. Every 90 days after closing, and again upon the sale of a cumulative
90% of the total Exchanged Shares, the Shareholders shall report to Chicken
Kitchen the previous 90 days' sales of the converted common stock, the proceeds
realized from such sales, and the number of shares held cumulatively and by each
of the Shareholders.

         K. Each of the Shareholders shall be entitled to sell, from time to
time, up to the then maximum available number of shares of Chicken Kitchen which
are salable under Rule 144 without regard to such Rule 144 sales made by any of
the other Shareholders.

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

         L. Within five business days after the execution of this term sheet,
Chicken Kitchen (i) shall deliver to counsel for the Shareholders a
non-refundable fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) which counsel may distribute
to the Shareholders at such time and such manner as it deems appropriate; and
(ii) shall deliver to an attorney licensed in the State of Florida to practice
law fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) to be held in escrow pending the closing
contemplated herein. If the closing does not occur within 50 days after the
execution of this term sheet, through fault of Chicken Kitchen, the escrow agent
shall deliver the escrowed $50,000.00 to counsel for Shareholders.

         M. The Shareholders shall not assist Barras Investments in the
continuation of this litigation against any of the defendants except as required
by law (i.e.: responding to document requests, appearance at properly noticed
deposition, etc.).

         N. The Shareholders, Olympus Capital and James Spratt on the one hand,
and Chicken Kitchen Corporation and Christian Mahe de Berdouare on the other,
will exchange general releases on behalf of themselves and their affiliates,
officers, directors, employees and immediate family members through the date of
closing. Olympus Capital's outstanding shares of Chicken Kitchen common stock
shall be treated as restricted stock under Rule 144.

         O. At the closing, the Shareholders will provide a stipulation of
dismissal of the above-captioned lawsuit with prejudice as against all
defendants, each party to bear their own costs, and the court shall be asked to
reserve jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the formal settlement agreement to
be executed at closing. Each Shareholder that has previously dismissed
his/her/its claims without prejudice shall renew their dismissals with
prejudice.

         P. Immediately after the closing, the Shareholders and Chicken Kitchen
will issue a joint press release.

State of Florida and for all purposes shall be subject to the laws of the State
of Florida.
