B. The distinguishing characteristics of the System include, without limitation, distinctive exterior and interior layout, design and color scheme, signage, decorations, furnishings and materials, special recipes, formulae, menus and food and beverage designations, Confidential Manuals, food and beverage storage, preparation service and delivery procedures and techniques, operating procedures for sanitation and maintenance, and methods and techniques for inventory and cost controls, record keeping and reporting, purchasing, sales promotion and advertising, Trade Secret Food Products, all of which may be

changed, improved and further developed from time to time.

C. Our parent company is the owner of the trade names, service marks and trademarks BUFFALO WILD WINGS, bw-3 and other logos and commercial symbols, and such other trade names, service marks, and trademarks as are now designated (and may later be designated by us in writing) as part of the System (Marks).

D. We grant franchises to qualified candidates for the operation of Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurants offering the Menu Items and utilizing the System and Marks. You desire to operate a Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant using the System and Marks and have applied for a franchise, which application has been approved by us in reliance upon all of the representations you have made.

E. You understand and acknowledge the importance of our high and uniform standards of quality and service and the necessity of operating the Buffalo Wild Wings business in conformity with our standards and specifications.

AGREEMENTS:

We and you agree as follows:

I. APPOINTMENT AND FRANCHISE FEE

A. Subject to the provisions stated below, we hereby grant you a license to use the Buffalo Wild Wings Marks and System, and you undertake the obligation to operate a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant facility featuring the Menu Items and providing sit-down, carry-out and other restaurant services (Franchised

1

Restaurant), and to use the Marks solely in connection with the System, as it is currently established, and as it may be changed, improved and further developed from time to time, at one (1) location only, such location to be: 1) ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________, or 2) at a location to be designated, as provided in Paragraph III within the area described on EXHIBIT B. When a location has been designated and approved by you and us, it will become part of Paragraph I.A.1., as if originally incorporated in that Paragraph. You shall not relocate your Franchised Restaurant without our prior written approval.

B. You receive a Designated Area within which we and our affiliates shall not operate or grant to anyone else a franchise to operate a Buffalo Wild Wings or bw-3 Restaurant so long as this Agreement is in force and effect. The Designated Area is described in writing and on a map attached to the Agreement as EXHIBIT B and is made a part of the Agreement. You do not have any right to sublicense or subfranchise others within or outside of the Designated Area and do not have the right to operate more than one (1) Franchised Restaurant within the Designated Area.

C. You acknowledge and agree that we have the right, in our sole discretion, to grant other franchises outside of the Designated Area as we deem appropriate. Although we will not operate a Buffalo Wild Wings or bw-3 business within the Designated Area, we reserve the right, both within and outside of the Designated Area, to offer and sell at special events (at our option, if you elect not to participate in such events) or at wholesale, through channels of distribution distinct from those of a Franchised Restaurant, products and services which comprise, or may in the future comprise a part of the System, which products may be resold at retail to the general public by such entities. Further, you acknowledge that certain locations within the Designated Area are by their nature unique and separate in character from sites generally developed as Franchised Restaurants. As a result, you agree that the following locations (Special Sites) are excluded from the Designated Area and we shall have the right to develop (by direct ownership or franchising) such locations: 1) public transportation facilities, including airports, train stations and bus stations; 2) military bases; 3) sports facilities, including race tracks; and 4) amusement and/or theme parks.

D. We and our affiliated companies shall not engage in catering and delivery services and activities in the Designated Area. You shall not engage in catering and delivery services and activities outside of the Designated Area. We shall have no obligation to enforce similar covenants against any other System franchisee. Other System franchisees shall be deemed third party beneficiaries of such. You shall not offer for sale any Menu Items or Proprietary Products by means of Internet/World Wide Web programming or advertising. We reserve the right to market and sell Menu Items and Trade Secret Food Products on the Internet/World Wide Web.

E. You pay us a nonrefundable Initial Franchise Fee of ________________ _______________________ Dollars ($________) which is payable in full on the date of this Agreement. The Initial Franchise Fee has been fully earned upon receipt and is nonrefundable in consideration of the expenses incurred by us in granting this franchise and for the lost or deferred opportunity to franchise others.

F. You acknowledge that because complete and detailed uniformity under many varying conditions may not be possible or practical, we specifically reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to vary standards for any System franchisee based upon the peculiarities of the particular site or circumstance, density of population, business potential, population of trade area, existing business practices or any other condition which we deem to be of importance to the successful operation of such franchisee's business. You shall not be entitled to require us to grant to you a like or similar variation.

G. In consideration of our agreement not to grant another franchise in the area described in Paragraph I.C., you at all times shall use your best efforts to promote and increase the sales and service of Menu

2

Items and to effect the widest and best possible distribution throughout the Designated Area, soliciting and servicing all potential customers and accounts for Buffalo Wild Wings food products and services.

II. TERM AND RENEWAL

A. The term of this Agreement is for ten (10) years commencing on the date of this Agreement, unless terminated as provided by this Agreement.

In the event you are unable to maintain possession of the premises of the Franchised Restaurant or if the premises do not meet our then-current standards, you may secure substitute premises approved by us and provided that you have furnished, stocked and equipped such premises to bring the Franchised Restaurant at its substituted premises into full compliance with the then-current specifications and standards before the expiration date of this Agreement;

3. You have given us written notice of your desire to renew at least six (6) months but not more than twelve (12) months prior to the end of the term;

5. You have executed for the renewal term our then-current form of Franchise Agreement (with appropriate modifications to reflect the fact that the agreement relates to the grant of a renewal franchise), which shall supersede in all respects this Agreement, and the terms of which may differ from the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, a different percentage Continuing Fee and advertising contribution; provided, however, that the percentage Continuing Fee shall not exceed seven percent (7%) during any renewal period. You will not be required to pay the then-current initial franchise fee or its equivalent;

6. You have complied with our then-current qualification and training requirements; and

If the lease for the site of the Franchised Restaurant expires or terminates for reasons other than your breach, or if the site is destroyed, condemned or otherwise rendered unusable, or as otherwise may be agreed upon in writing by us and you, we will grant permission for relocation of the Franchised Restaurant within your Designated Area at a location and site acceptable to us. Any such relocation shall be at your sole expense and we shall have the right to charge you for any and all reasonable costs incurred by us, and a reasonable fee for our services, in connection with any such relocation of the Franchised Restaurant.

B. You shall be responsible for purchasing or leasing a suitable site for the Franchised Restaurant. Prior to the acquisition by lease or purchase of any site for the premises of the Franchised Restaurant, you shall submit a description of the proposed site to us, together with a letter of intent or other evidence satisfactory to us which confirms your favorable prospects for obtaining the proposed site. We shall provide you written notice of approval or disapproval of the proposed site within fifteen (15) business days after receiving your written proposal. Our approval is not a determination or warranty that the proposed site will be a profitable location for the Franchised Restaurant.

C. After receiving our written approval of the location of the Franchised Restaurant as provided in Paragraph III.B. above, you shall, subject to our prior approval of terms, execute a lease (if the premises are to be leased) or a binding agreement to purchase the site. All leases pertaining to the Franchised Restaurant premises must contain an Addendum in the form of EXHIBIT C attached hereto, or contain terms and conditions substantially similar to those contained in EXHIBIT C that we approve. You shall provide us with a copy of the executed lease for the Franchised Restaurant within five (5) days of its execution, and prior to its execution, provide us with a copy for our approval. A copy of the executed Addendum must also be provided to us.

E. You shall be required to periodically make reasonable capital expenditures to remodel, modernize and redecorate the premises of the Franchised Restaurant so that the Franchised Restaurant will reflect the then-image intended to be portrayed by Buffalo Wild Wings businesses. All remodeling, modernization, or redecoration of the premises of the Franchised Restaurant must be done in accordance with the standards and specifications as prescribed by us from time to time and with our prior written approval.

4

conform to our then-current quality standards and specifications and must be approved in writing.

Maintenance of the premises of the Franchised Restaurant and modifying or replacing equipment may exceed this amount, and maintenance costs and equipment costs may not be credited to remodeling, modernization or redecoration expenditures.

IV. TRAINING

A. Before you commence operations, we shall make initial training available to you. At least three (3) persons designated by you and approved by us must attend and successfully complete the training to our satisfaction. The training will be at least three (3) weeks in duration and will be conducted at either our Cincinnati, or Columbus, Ohio training facilities or at such other place as we may designate. The training program covers material aspects of the operation of a Buffalo Wild Wings business, including financial controls, general bookkeeping procedures, food preparation, service and operational techniques, familiarization with recipes and cooking procedures, marketing and advertising techniques, sanitation and maintenance procedures, deployment of labor, and maintenance of quality standards. We reserve the right to provide less training if you have one or more Franchised Restaurants in operation. All expenses incurred by you and your employees in attending the program, including without limitation, travel costs, room and board expenses, and the employee compensation shall be your sole responsibility.

B. We will, from time to time upon your written request, make available, at your expense, training for additional managers designated by you and approved by us. Such training shall take place at our Cincinnati, or Columbus, Ohio training facilities or such other place as we may designate. You acknowledge that the time period within which we provide additional training will be subject to available openings in our regular training program with preference being given to initial training for new franchisees.

C. We will schedule the opening of your Franchised Restaurant. For one (1) week prior to and one (1) week concurrent with the commencement of operations of the Franchised Restaurant, we will furnish to you, at your

Restaurant and at our expense, one (1) or more of our representatives for the purpose of training your employees and management team in the operation of a Franchised Restaurant. During this period, the representatives will assist in establishing and standardizing procedures and techniques essential to the operation of a Buffalo Wild Wings business. If you request additional assistance from us in order to facilitate the opening of the Franchised Restaurant, and if, we, in our discretion, deem it necessary, feasible and appropriate to comply with the request, you will reimburse us for our expenses in providing such additional assistance, which may include our then-current service fee. You agree that during the week preceding the opening, you will have four (4) full days during which the Restaurant is fully operational and will host two (2) opening parties.

D. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you or your manager is unable to satisfactorily complete the required training program, you will have thirty (30) days to provide an alternate person to complete the training program at your sole expense. At least three (3) persons actively involved in the management and operation of the Franchised Restaurant must successfully complete the training program. If you fail to provide three (3) persons who can complete the training program, we will have the right to terminate this Agreement and you will not be entitled to a refund of any portion of the franchise fees paid.

E. From time to time we may provide and if we do, may require that previously-trained and experienced franchisees, their managers and/or employees attend and successfully complete refresher training programs or seminars to be conducted at our training facility or at such other place as we shall designate. Attendance at such refresher training programs or seminars will be at your sole expense, provided, however, that attendance will not be required at more than two (2) such programs in any calendar year.

V. PROPRIETARY MARKS

A. You acknowledge that our parent company is the owner of all right, title and interest together with all the goodwill of the Marks and has licensed the use of such Marks to us with the right to sublicense others. You further acknowledge that your right to use the Marks is derived solely from this Agreement and is limited to the conduct of business by you pursuant to and in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable standards, specifications, and operating procedures prescribed by us from time to time during the term of the Agreement. Any unauthorized use of the Marks by you is a breach of this Agreement and an infringement of the rights of us in and to the Marks. You acknowledge that your usage of the Marks and any goodwill established by your use of the Marks shall inure to the exclusive benefit of us and our affiliate, and that this Agreement does not confer any goodwill or other interests in the Marks upon you. Any developments and improvements by you relating to the Marks or the System shall be our sole property. You will not, at any time during the term of this Agreement or after its termination or expiration, contest the validity or ownership of any of the Marks or assist any other person in contesting the validity or ownership of the Marks. All provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Marks apply to any and all additional trademarks, service marks, and commercial symbols authorized for use by and licensed to you by us after the date of this Agreement.

B. You will not use any Mark or portion of any Mark as part of a corporate or trade name, or with any prefix, suffix, or other modifying words, terms, designs, or symbols, or in any modified form. You will not use any Mark in connection with the sale of any unauthorized product or service or in any other manner not expressly authorized in writing by us. You shall give such notices of trademark and service mark registrations as we specify and to obtain such fictitious or assumed name registrations as may be required under applicable law. Your use of any of the Marks on the Internet/World Wide Web (including any Home Page) or any other medium must have our prior written approval. We reserve the right to prohibit your use of the Marks on the Internet.

C. You will promptly notify us of any claim, demand or cause of action based upon or arising from any attempt by any other person, firm or corporation to use the Marks or any colorable imitation of the Marks. You shall also notify us of any action, claim or demand against you relating to the Marks within ten (10) days after you receive notice of said action, claim or demand. Upon receipt of timely notice of an action, claim or demand against you relating to the Marks, we and our affiliate shall have the sole right and duty to defend any such action. We and our affiliate will have the exclusive right to contest or bring action against any third party regarding the third party's use of any of the Marks and will exercise such right in our and our affiliate's sole discretion. In any defense or prosecution of any litigation relating to the Marks or components of the System undertaken by us, you shall cooperate in all respects with us and our affiliate and execute any and all documents and take all actions as may be desirable or necessary in the opinion of our counsel, to carry out such defense or prosecution. Both parties shall make every effort consistent with the foregoing to protect, maintain, and promote the Marks as identifying the System and only the System.

D. If, in our sole discretion, it becomes advisable at any time, for us to modify or discontinue use of any Mark, and/or use one or more additional or substitute trade names, trademarks, service marks, or other commercial symbols, either systemwide or with respect to use by any selected franchisee, you will comply with our directions within a reasonable time after notice to you. We will have no liability or obligation whatsoever with respect to your modification or discontinuance of any Mark.

E. In order to preserve the validity and integrity of the Marks and

copyrighted material licensed to you and to assure that you are properly employing the same in the operation of your Franchised Restaurant, we and our agents have the right of entry and inspection of your premises and operating procedures at all reasonable times. We will have the right to observe the manner in which you are rendering your services and conducting your operations, to confer with your employees and customers, and to select Menu Items, ingredients, food and

6

non-food products, beverages, and other items, products, delivery vehicles, products and supplies for test of content and evaluation purposes to make certain that the Menu Items, ingredients, food and non-food products, beverages and other items, products, delivery vehicles, materials and supplies are satisfactory and meet our quality control provisions and performance standards.

VI. CONFIDENTIAL MANUALS

A. We will loan to you during the term of the franchise one (1) copy of our Confidential Operations Manual and other confidential manuals and written materials (all of which are collectively referred to herein as the Manuals) containing reasonable, mandatory and suggested specifications, standards, operating procedures and rules prescribed from time to time by us for Buffalo Wild Wings businesses and information relative to your other obligations. You will not at any time, without our prior written consent, copy, duplicate, record or otherwise reproduce the Manuals in whole or in part or otherwise make the same available to any person. Any authorized duplication or copying of any of the Manuals shall be performed by us at your expense. We have the right to add to and otherwise modify, combine, or replace the Manuals from time to time to reflect changes in the specifications, standards, operating procedures and rules prescribed by us for Buffalo Wild Wings businesses, provided that no such addition or modification shall alter your fundamental status and rights under this Franchise Agreement.

B. The Manuals shall at all times remain our sole property and shall promptly be returned upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

C. The Manuals contain our proprietary information which you shall keep confidential both during the term of the franchise and subsequent to the expiration and/or termination of the franchise. You will at all times insure that your copy of the Manuals are available at the Franchised Restaurant premises in a current and up-to-date manner. At all times that the Manuals are not in use by authorized personnel, you will maintain the Manuals in a locked receptacle at the premises of the Franchised Restaurant, and will only grant authorized personnel, as defined in the Manuals, access to the key or lock combination of such receptacle. In the event of any dispute as to the contents of the Manuals, the terms of the master copy of the Manuals maintained by us at our home office will be controlling.

VII. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

A. You acknowledge that your entire knowledge of the operation of a Buffalo Wild Wings business, including, without limitation, the method of preparation of Menu Items and other food products, and other specifications, recipes, standards and operating procedures of a Buffalo Wild Wings business is derived from information disclosed to you by us and that such information is proprietary, confidential and our trade secret. You will maintain the absolute confidentiality of all such information during and after the term of the franchise and you will not use any such information in any other business or in any manner not specifically authorized or approved in writing by us.

B. You will divulge such confidential information only to the extent and only to such of your employees as must have access to it in order to operate the Franchised Restaurant. Any and all information, knowledge and know-how, including, without limitation, drawings, materials, equipment, techniques, restaurant systems, product formulae, recipes and other data which we designate as confidential will be deemed confidential for purposes of this Agreement, except information: 1) which you can demonstrate lawfully came to your attention prior to disclosure thereof by us, or 2) which, at the time of disclosure by us to you, had lawfully become a part of the public domain, through publication or communication by others, or 3) which, after disclosure to you by us, lawfully becomes a part of the public domain, through publication or communication by others.

7

C. Due to the special and unique nature of our confidential information, Marks and Manuals, you acknowledge that we will be entitled to immediate equitable remedies, including but not limited to, restraining orders and injunctive relief in order to safeguard our proprietary, confidential, unique, and special information and you acknowledge that money damages alone would be an insufficient remedy with which to compensate us for any breach of the terms of Paragraph V, VI and VII of this Agreement. All of your employees having access to our confidential and proprietary information and all of your shareholders, directors, officers, partners and/or members will be required to execute non-disclosure agreements in the form acceptable to us.

VIII. MODIFICATION OF THE SYSTEM

You acknowledge that from time to time we may change or modify the System presently identified by the Marks, including, without limitation, the adoption and use of new or modified trade names, trademarks, service marks or copyrighted

materials, new Menu Items, new products, new equipment or new techniques. You will accept, use and display for the purpose of this Agreement any such changes in the System, as if they were part of this Agreement at the time of execution. You will make such expenditures as are reasonably required by such changes or modifications in the System. Except as directed by us, you will not change, modify or alter the System in any way.

IX. ADVERTISING

Recognizing the value of advertising and the importance of the standardization of advertising and promotion to the furtherance of the goodwill and the public image of Buffalo Wild Wings businesses, you agree:

A. Before using any promotional and advertising materials, you will submit to us or our designated agency, for our prior approval, all information pertaining to promotional materials and advertising initiated by you, including, but not limited to, newspapers, radio and television advertising, Internet or any other medium, specialty and novelty items, signs, boxes, napkins, bags and wrapping papers. In the event written disapproval of any such advertising and promotional material has not been given by us to you within twenty (20) days from the date such information has been received by us, the materials will be deemed approved. Your failure to conform with these provisions and subsequent nonaction by us to require you to cure or remedy any such failure and default will not be deemed a waiver of future or additional failures and defaults by you under this provision and/or any other provision of this Agreement. The submission of advertising information to us for our approval will not affect your right to determine the prices at which you sell your products and/or services.

B. You will contribute to the Buffalo Wild Wings Advertising and Development Fund (Fund) (which may be one of several regional Funds, if we elect to establish separate Funds to serve various regions in which multiple franchisees are located) an amount equal to three percent (3%) of your Gross Sales, as defined in Paragraph X. Your required payments to the Fund will be made on or before the fifteenth day of the month for the preceding month. These contributions may be withdrawn from your bank account as provided in Paragraph X. We will use such funds to conduct local, regional or national advertising. Such payments shall be made in addition to and exclusive of any sums that you may be required to spend on system or grand opening advertising and promotion. The Fund shall be maintained and administered by us or our designee, as follows:

1. We will oversee all advertising programs and have sole discretion over the creative concepts, materials and media used in such programs including the placement and allocation. We will use the Fund to conduct national advertising, and/or, if regional Funds are developed, to conduct regional or local advertising on your behalf, at our sole discretion. We may also use such funds to conduct advertising in your local advertising market. However, we cannot and do not ensure that any particular franchisee will benefit directly or pro rata from the placement of advertising.

8

2. For each of our company-owned and affiliate-owned Restaurants (except Special Sites identified in Paragraph I.C.) offering products and services similar to the Franchised Restaurant we will make contributions to the Fund or to regional Funds equivalent to the contributions required of Franchised Restaurants within the System or, if applicable, region in which the company-owned or affiliate-owned store is located.

3. We will administer and control the Fund and we will have the absolute and unilateral right to determine how, when and where the monies in the Fund will be spent. This includes the right to use Fund monies for (1) the creation, development and production of advertising and promotional materials, (2) any marketing or related research and development, and (3) advertising and marketing expenses, including without limitation, the absolute right to purchase and pay for product and food research and development, advertising materials, production costs, brochures, ad slicks, radio, film and television commercials, videotapes, newspaper, magazine and other print advertising, direct mail pieces, photographer costs, photographs, pictures, designs, services provided by advertising agencies, public relations firms or other marketing, research or consulting firms or agencies, market research and marketing surveys, menu design and graphics, customer incentive programs, sponsorships, marketing meetings and sales incentives, development of Home Pages on the Internet, Internet access provider costs, Internet/World Wide Web programming and advertising, subscriptions to industry newsletters or magazines, marketing or industry studies, books and research materials, administrative costs and salaries for marketing support personnel. All sums paid by you to the Fund will be maintained in a separate account from our other funds and shall not be used to defray any of our general operating expenses, except for such reasonable administrative costs and overhead, if any, as we may incur in activities reasonably related to the administration or direction of the Fund and advertising programs including, without limitation, costs incurred in collecting and accounting for assessments for the Fund.

4. It is our intent that all contributions to the Fund will be expended for advertising and promotional purposes during our fiscal year within which contributions are made. Any monies not expended in the fiscal year in which they were contributed will be applied and used for Fund expenses in the following year.

5. Although we intend the Fund to be of perpetual duration, we have the right to terminate the Fund. We will not terminate the Fund, however, until all monies in the Fund have been expended for advertising and promotional purposes.

6. An unaudited accounting of Fund contributions and expenditures will be prepared annually and will be made available to you upon request. At our option, any such annual accounting may include an audit of the contributions and expenditures of the Fund prepared by an independent certified public accountant selected by us and prepared at the expense of the Fund.

7. Once you make contributions to the Fund, all such monies will be used as required by this Paragraph IX and will not be returned to you. C.

2. If we direct you to spend your advertising funds locally, all such expenditures will be made directly by you or the local advertising group, subject to approval and direction by us or our designated advertising agency. You acknowledge that we may direct local advertising to be spent according to a seasonally adjusted schedule; however, such expenditures shall not exceed two percent (2%) of your annual Gross Sales. You shall furnish to us an accurate accounting of all expenditures on local advertising and promotion.

3. You will submit documentation of your advertising expenditures at such times and in such form as we designate. If you fail to make any required advertising expenditures, we have the right to require you to contribute the amount of any deficiency to the Fund to be used by us for general advertising and promotion.

D. We may require you to expend up to FIVE THOUSAND Dollars ($5,000) on newspaper, direct mail or advertising through other media prior to your opening and during your initial ninety (90) days of operation of the Franchised Restaurant.

Such advertising and promotion will be designated as Grand Opening advertising and promotion and will be conducted in accordance with the specifications set forth in the Manuals.

E. You must carry and offer for sale to your customers a representative supply of trademarked clothing. We may, from time to time, develop and market special promotional items which will be made available to you at our cost plus a reasonable mark up and you will maintain a representative inventory of such promotional items to meet public demand. You will have the right to purchase alternative promotional items provided that such alternative goods conform to the specifications and quality standards established by us.

X. CONTINUING FEE

A. You will pay us without offset, credit or deduction of any nature, so long as this Agreement is in effect, a monthly Continuing Fee equal to five percent (5%) of the Gross Sales derived from the Franchised Restaurant. The Continuing Fee will be paid monthly in the manner specified below or as otherwise prescribed in the Manuals.

1. We must receive from you within five (5) days after the end of each month, a correct statement of your Gross Sales for the preceding fiscal month as determined by us on a form approved by us and signed by you. Each monthly statement of Gross Sales shall be accompanied by the Continuing Fee payment based on the Gross Sales reported in the statement so submitted. You will make available to us all original books and records that we may deem necessary to ascertain your Gross Sales for reasonable inspection at reasonable times.

10

2. The term Gross Sales, as used in this Agreement, means and

includes the total amount of all revenue from the sale of services, products and merchandise and all income of every kind and nature related to the Franchised Restaurant whether or not sold or performed at or from the Franchised Restaurant and the proceeds from all games, cover charges, service, license, use and similar fees collected by the Franchised Restaurant. Gross sales do not include any sales tax, use tax, or service taxes collected and paid to the appropriate taxing authority.

B. Prior to the opening of your Restaurant (and thereafter as requested by us), you shall execute and deliver to us, our bank(s) and your bank, as necessary, all forms and documents that we may request to permit us to debit your account, either by check, via electronic funds transfer or other means or such alternative methods as we may designate (Payment Methods). You must comply with all procedures specified by us from time to time to take such actions as we may request to assist in utilizing any of the Payment Methods. We may use the Payment Methods to collect the amount of each month's Continuing Fee, Advertising Contributions, and any other amounts due to us or our affiliates under this Agreement or otherwise. The Continuing Fee shall be withdrawn from your designated bank account by electronic fund transfer on the fifth of each month for the previous month, or if the fifth falls on a weekend or bank holiday, then on the next business day. Advertising Contributions will be withdrawn on the fifteenth of each month or on the next business day. Payments for commissary purchases will be debited one business day after products are delivered to the Restaurant. We will determine your Gross Sales by means of the approved information system, or if we are unable to do so, you shall report your Gross Sales in writing on or before the fifth day of the month for the preceding month. You shall notify us at least twenty (20) days before closing or changing the account against which such debits are to be made. If such account is closed or ceases to be used, you shall immediately provide all documents and information necessary to permit us to debit the amounts due from an alternative account. You acknowledge that these requirements are only a method to facilitate prompt and timely payment of amounts due and shall not affect any obligation or liability for amounts owed. If for any reason your account cannot be electronically debited, you shall submit payments by check (certified or cashier's check if requested by us) on or before the dates when due. You shall indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against all claims, damages, losses, costs and expenses resulting from any dishonored debit against your account, regardless whether resulting from the act or omission of you or your bank; provided that you shall not be obligated to indemnify us for any dishonored debit caused by our negligence or mistake.

C. All Continuing Fees, Advertising Contributions, amounts due for purchases by you from us and our affiliates, and other amounts which you owe us or our affiliates shall bear interest after due date at the highest applicable legal rate for open account business credit, not to exceed one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month. You acknowledge that this Paragraph does not constitute agreement by us or our affiliates to accept such payments after same are due or a commitment by us to extend credit to, or otherwise finance your operation of, the Franchised Restaurant. Further, you acknowledge that your failure to pay all amounts when due shall constitute grounds for termination of this Agreement, as provided in Paragraph XVI hereof, notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph.

D. Notwithstanding any designation by you, we have the sole discretion to apply any payments by you to any past due indebtedness of yours for Continuing Fees, Advertising Contributions, purchases from us and our affiliates, interest or any other indebtedness. Further, if you are delinquent in the payment of any fees or indebtedness we have the right to require you to prepay estimated Continuing Fees and Advertising Contributions.

D. You will record all sales on electronic cash registers approved by

us or on such other types of cash registers as may be designated by us in the Manuals or otherwise in writing. We reserve the right to designate the information system used in your Franchised Restaurant including the computer hardware, software, other equipment and enhancements. At such time as we designate the approved information system, you will have one hundred eighty (180) days in which to install and commence using the approved information system. In connection with the approved information system, you agree to the following:

1. You understand that you will be required to acquire the right to use the information system, obtain peripheral equipment and accessories and arrange for required maintenance and support services, all at your cost.

2. We shall have the right at all times to access the information system and to retrieve, analyze, download and use all software, data and files stored or used on the information system. We may access the information system in the Franchised Restaurant or from other locations. You shall store all data and information on the information system that we designate from time to time.

3. All modifications and enhancements made to the approved information system shall be our property (or the appropriate vendor if we so designate), without regard to the source of the modification or enhancement. You agree to execute any documents, in the form provided by us, that we determine are necessary to reflect such ownership.

4. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, you shall allow our employees or agents to remove the required software from the information system, shall immediately return to us the software, each component thereof, any data generated by the use thereof, all documentation for the software and other materials or information that relate to or reveal the software and its operation. You shall immediately destroy any and all back-up or other copies of the software or parts thereof, and any data generated by the use of the software (other than financial information relating solely to you).

5. You acknowledge and agree that there will be fees payable by you in connection with the installation, use, support, maintenance, and periodic enhancements of the approved information system. These fees will include but are not necessarily limited to an on-site installation and support fee,

12

software support fees and software maintenance fees. These fees will be payable to us or a vendor designated by us and may be increased from time to time.

We also have the right, at any time, to have an independent audit made of your books and records at our expense. If an inspection reveals that any payments due to us have been understated in any report to us, then you will immediately pay to us the amount understated upon demand, in addition to interest from the date such amount was due until paid, at the maximum rate permitted by law not to exceed one and half percent (1.5%) per month. If an inspection discloses an understatement in any report of two percent (2%) or more, you will also reimburse us for any and all costs and expenses connected with the inspection (including, without limitation, reasonable accounting and attorneys' fees), and we will thereafter have the right to require you to submit annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, audited by an independent certified public accountant. The foregoing remedies shall be in addition to any other remedies we may have.

F. You acknowledge that nothing contained in this Agreement constitutes our agreement to accept any payments after they are due or a commitment by us to extend credit to or otherwise finance your operation of the Franchised Restaurant. Further, you acknowledge that your failure to pay all amounts when due constitutes a material default of, and grounds for, termination of this Agreement.

All costs for the attendance of the designated general manager at our training

course shall be at your cost, except as set forth in Section IV(A). We will have the right at any time to revoke our approval of a designated manager.

You will employ a sufficient number of competent and trained employees to insure efficient service to your customers.

You will not be obligated to accept any such advice or guidance and shall have the sole right to determine the prices to be charged from time to time by the Franchised Restaurant and no such advice or guidance shall be deemed or construed to impose upon you any obligation to charge any fixed, minimum or maximum prices for any product offered for sale by the Franchised Restaurant.

We will advise you of problems arising out of the operation of the Franchised

17

Restaurant as disclosed by reports submitted to us by you or by inspections conducted by us of the Franchised Restaurant.

We will be named an additional insured in such policy or policies.

B. The policy or policies shall be written by an insurance company satisfactory to us in accordance with standards and specifications set forth in the Manuals or otherwise in writing, and shall include, at a minimum (except as different coverages and policy limits may reasonably be specified for all franchisees from time to time by us in the Manuals or otherwise in writing) the following:

1. All risks coverage insurance on the Franchised Restaurant and all fixtures, equipment, supplies and other property used in the operation of the Franchised Restaurant, for full repair and replacement value of the machinery, equipment, improvements and betterments, without any applicable co-insurance clause, except that an appropriate deductible clause shall be permitted.

Upon termination or expiration, this Agreement and all rights granted hereunder to you will forthwith terminate, and:

B. Upon our demand, you will assign to us your interest in any lease then in effect for the Franchised Restaurant premises.

C. You will immediately and permanently cease to use, by advertising or in any manner whatsoever, any confidential methods, procedures, and techniques associated with the System; the Marks and distinctive forms, slogans, signs, symbols, logos, or devices associated with the System. In particular, you will cease to use, without limitation, all signs, advertising materials, stationery, forms, and any other articles which display the Marks associated with the System.

D. You will take such action as may be necessary to cancel or assign to us or our designee, at our option, any assumed name rights or equivalent registration filed with state, city, or county authorities which contains the name Buffalo Wild Wings, bw-3 or any Mark, and you will furnish us with evidence satisfactory to us of compliance with this obligation within thirty (30) days after termination or expiration of this Agreement.

E. You will, in the event you continue to operate or subsequently begin to operate any other business, not use any reproduction, counterfeit, copy or colorable imitation of the Marks either in connection with such other business or the promotion thereof, which is likely to cause confusion, mistake or deception, or which is likely to dilute our exclusive rights in and to the Marks

and will not utilize any designation of origin or description or representation which falsely suggests or represents an association or connection with us so as to constitute unfair competition. You will make such modifications or alterations to the premises of the Franchised Restaurant (including, without limitation, the changing of the telephone number) immediately upon termination or expiration of this Agreement as may be necessary to prevent any association between us or the System and any business thereon subsequently operated by you or others, and will make such specific additional changes thereto as we may reasonably request for that purpose, including, without limitation, removal of all distinctive physical and structural features identifying the System. In the event you fail or refuse to comply with the requirements of this Paragraph XVII, we have the right to enter upon the premises where your Franchised Restaurant was conducted, without being guilty of trespass or any other tort, for the purpose of making or causing to be made such changes as may be required at your expense, which expense you will pay upon demand.

XXIII. MISCELLANEOUS

A.

XXV. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

A. The parties have entered into this Agreement in good faith and in the belief that it is mutually advantageous to them. It is with that same spirit of cooperation that they pledge to attempt to resolve any dispute amicably without the necessity of litigation. Accordingly, they agree that except as set forth below, if any dispute arises between them relating to this Agreement that prior to the commencement of any legal action to interpret or enforce this Agreement, they will first use the procedures specified in this Section.

B. The party seeking to initiate the procedure shall give written notice to the other party, describing in general terms the nature of the dispute, the claim for relief and identifying one or more individuals with authority to settle the dispute on such party's behalf. The party receiving such notice shall have ten (10) business days within which to designate by written notice one or more individuals with authority to settle the dispute on such party's behalf.

C. The authorized individuals shall be entitled to make such investigation of the dispute as they deem appropriate, but agree to meet promptly, and in no event later than thirty (30) days from the date of the initial written notice, to discuss resolution of the dispute. The authorized individuals shall meet at such times and places and with such frequency as they may agree. If the dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) days from the date of their initial meeting, the parties shall cease direct negotiations and shall submit the dispute to mediation in accordance with the following procedure.

D. The authorized individuals shall have five (5) business days from the date they cease direct negotiations to submit to each other a written list of acceptable qualified mediators not affiliated with any of the parties. Within five (5) days from the date of receipt of such list, the authorized individuals shall rank the mediators in numerical order of preference and exchange such rankings. If one or more names are on both lists, the highest ranking person shall be designated as the mediator. If no mediator has been selected under this procedure, the parties agree jointly to request the local administrative judge of the County in which our corporate headquarters are situated to supply within ten (10) business days a list of potential qualified mediators. Within five (5) business days of receipt of the list, the parties shall again rank the proposed mediators in numerical order of preference and shall simultaneously exchange such lists and shall select as the mediator the individual

29

receiving the highest combined ranking. If such mediator is not available to serve, they shall proceed to contact the mediator who was next highest in ranking until they are able to select a mediator.

E. In consultation with the mediator selected, the parties shall promptly designate a mutually convenient time and place for the mediation, and unless circumstances require otherwise, such time is to be not later than forty-five (45) days after selection of the mediator. In the event any party to this Agreement has substantial need for information in the possession of another party to this Agreement in order to prepare for the mediation, all parties shall attempt in good faith to agree on procedures for the expeditious exchange of such information, with the help of the mediator if required. At least seven (7) days prior to the first scheduled session of the mediation, each party shall deliver to the mediator and to the other party a concise written summary of its views on the matter in dispute, and such other matters required by the mediator. The mediator may also request that a confidential issue paper be submitted to him by each party.

F. In the mediation, each party shall be represented by an authorized individual and may be represented by counsel. In addition, each party may, with permission of the mediator, bring such additional persons as are needed to respond to questions, contribute information and participate in the negotiations.

G. The mediator shall determine the format for the meetings, designed to assure that both the mediator and the authorized individuals have an opportunity to hear an oral presentation of each party's views on the matter in dispute, and that the authorized parties attempt to negotiate a resolution of the matter in dispute, with or without the assistance of counsel or others, but with the assistance of the mediator. To this end, the mediator is authorized to conduct both joint meetings and separate private caucuses with the parties. The mediation session shall be private. The mediator will keep confidential all information learned in private caucus with any party unless specifically

authorized by such party to make disclosure of the information to the other party. The parties agree to sign a document agreeing that the mediator shall be governed by the provisions of the local Rules of Civil Procedure and such other rules as the mediator shall prescribe. The parties commit to participate in the proceedings in good faith with the intention of resolving the dispute, if at all possible.

H. The parties agree to participate in the mediation procedure to its conclusion. The mediation shall be terminated (i) by the execution of a settlement agreement by the parties, (ii) by a declaration of the mediator that the mediation is terminated, or (iii) by a written declaration of a party to the effect that the mediation process is terminated at the conclusion of one full day's mediation session. Even if the mediation is terminated without a resolution of the dispute, the parties agree not to terminate negotiations and not to commence any legal action or seek other remedies prior to the expiration of five (5) days following the mediation. The fees and expenses of the mediator shall be shared equally by the parties. The mediator shall be disqualified as a witness, consultant, expert or counsel for any party with respect to the dispute and any related matters.

I. Mediation is a compromise negotiation for purposes of the Federal and State Rules of Evidence and constitutes privileged communication. The entire mediation process is confidential, and no stenographic, visual or audio record shall be made. All conduct, statements, promises, offers, views and opinions, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any party, by their agents, employees, representatives or other invitees and by the mediator are confidential and shall, in addition and where appropriate, be deemed to be privileged. Such conduct, statements, promises, offers, views and opinions shall not be discoverable or admissible for any purposes, including impeachment, in any litigation or other proceeding involving the parties, and shall not be disclosed to anyone not an agent, employee, expert, witness, or representative of any of the parties; provided however, that evidence otherwise discoverable or admissible is not excluded from discovery or admission as a result of its use in the mediation.

30

J. Nothing herein contained shall bar our right to seek and obtain temporary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law against any conduct or threatened conduct by you which could impair the goodwill associated with the Marks.

K. The parties (and their respective owners) agree to waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the right to or claim for any punitive or exemplary damages against the other and agree that in the event of a dispute between them, each will be limited to the recovery of actual damages sustained.

EXHIBIT C ADDENDUM TO LEASE

THIS ADDENDUM TO LEASE, dated ______________, 199__, is entered into by and between _______________________(Lessor), and __________________________ (Lessee).

RECITALS:

A. The parties hereto have entered into a certain Lease Agreement, dated _____________, 199__, and pertaining to the premises located at _________ __________________________________ (the Lease).

B. Lessor acknowledges that Lessee intends to operate a Restaurant from the leased premises (the Premises) pursuant to a Franchise Agreement (the Franchise Agreement) with bw-3 Franchise Systems, Inc. (bw-3) under the name Buffalo Wild Wings or other name designated by bw-3 (Franchised Restaurant).

C. The parties now desire to amend the Lease in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein.

AGREEMENT:

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby mutually covenanted and agreed between Lessor and Lessee as follows:

1. REMODELING AND DECOR. Lessor agrees that Lessee shall have the right to remodel, equip, paint and decorate the interior of the Premises and to display such proprietary marks and signs on the interior and exterior of the Premises as Lessee is reasonably required to do pursuant to the Franchise Agreement and any successor Franchise Agreement under which Lessee may operate a Franchised Restaurant on the Premises.

2. ASSIGNMENT. Lessee shall have the right to assign all of its right, title and interest in the Lease to bw-3 or any affiliate of bw-3 at any time during the term of the Lease, including any extensions or renewals thereof, without first obtaining Lessor's consent. However, no assignment shall be effective until such time as bw-3 or its designated affiliate gives Lessor written notice of its acceptance of such assignment, and nothing contained herein or in any other document shall constitute bw-3 or its designated affiliate a party to the Lease, or guarantor thereof, and shall not create any liability or obligation of bw-3 or any affiliate of bw-3 unless and until the Lease is assigned to, and accepted in writing by, bw-3 or its designated affiliate. In the event of an assignment, Lessee shall remain liable under the terms of the Lease.

3. DEFAULT AND NOTICE.

(a) In the event there is a default or violation by Lessee under the terms of the Lease, Lessor shall give Lessee and bw-3 written notice of such default or violation within a reasonable time after Lessor receives knowledge of its occurrence. bw-3 will notify Lessor whether it intends to cure the default and take an automatic assignment of Lessee's interest as provided in Paragraph 4(a). bw-3 will have an additional fifteen (15) days in which to cure the default or violation.

(b) All notices to bw-3 shall be sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the following address:

bw-3 Franchise Systems, Inc. 1919 Interchange Tower 600 South Highway 169 Minneapolis, MN 55426

39

Attention: Chief Financial Officer bw-3 may change its address for receiving notices by giving Lessor written notice of such new address. Lessor agrees that it will notify both Lessee and bw-3 of any change in Lessor's mailing address to which notices should be sent.

4. TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION.

(a) Upon the expiration or termination of either the Lease or the Franchise Agreement, bw-3 will, at its option, have the right (but not the requirement) to take an automatic assignment of Lessee's interest.

(b) Upon the expiration or termination of either the Lease or the Franchise Agreement, Landlord will cooperate with and assist us in gaining possession of premises and if bw-3 does not elect to take an assignment of the Lessee's interest, Lessor will allow bw-3 to enter the Premises, without being guilty of trespass and without incurring any liability to Lessor, to remove all signs, awnings, and all other items identifying the Premises as a Franchised Restaurant and to make such other modifications (such as repainting) as are reasonably necessary to protect the bw-3 marks and system, and to distinguish the Premises from Franchised Restaurants. In the event bw-3 exercises its option to purchase assets of Lessee, Lessor shall permit bw-3 to remove all such assets being purchased by bw-3.

5. CONSIDERATION; NO LIABILITY.

(a) Lessor hereby acknowledges that the provisions of this Addendum to Lease are required pursuant to the Franchise Agreement under which Lessee plans to operate its business and the Lessee would not lease the Premises without this Addendum.

(b) Lessor further acknowledges that Lessee is not an agent or employee of bw-3 and the Lessee has no authority or power to act for, or to create any liability on behalf of, or to in any way bind bw-3 or any affiliate of bw-3, and that Lessor has entered into this Addendum to Lease with full understanding that it creates no duties, obligations or liabilities of or against bw-3 or any affiliate of bw-3.

6. SALES REPORTS. If requested by bw-3, Lessor will provide bw-3 with whatever information Lessor has regarding Lessee's sales from the Restaurant.

7. AMENDMENTS. No amendment or variation of the terms of this Addendum to the Lease shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

8. REAFFIRMATION OF LEASE. Except as amended or modified herein, all of the terms, conditions and covenants of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect and are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof as though copied herein in full.

9. BENEFICIARY. Lessor and Lessee expressly agree that bw-3 is a third party beneficiary of this Addendum.
